Chapter 283 Farming on Mars (6)

Will you take the difficult path of terraforming, or will you seek out the point where CTW2022 is located?

Users who are looking to eat rice have realized that it is now time to choose between two options.

“It would be nice to do both at the same time, but there isn’t enough time and resources for that.”

“The longer the Prime Farm store is delayed from opening, the less money you can make from rice.”

“You need to open a Prime Farm store as soon as possible and sell fish all over the world. That way, you can make a lot of money in the beginning.”

“CTW2022 has already raised over $1 billion.”

Despite the completely untrue rumors floating around, people had no doubt that CTW2022 would make astronomical amounts of money.

“As the number of users who open Prime Farm increases to 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000, the pie gets smaller.”

“We need to open Prime Farm as soon as possible!”

“If that’s difficult, you should find CTW2022 and trade with him! What he needs most right now is HA.”

“Once we get a few trillion HA, we won’t have any regrets about CTW2022 from then on.”

“Either way, only a very small number of people who strike out quickly can make a lot of money!”

“Let’s go! We can become rich like CTW2022!”

The madness of Palm Bus users towards ‘rice eating’ has now turned into a flame that cannot be extinguished by anything.

After the successful manned exploration of Mars, the status of Naro Space Center changed.

Now, no one can deny that the Naro Space Center is the most powerful space agency on Earth.

Even NASA openly acknowledged that fact.

NASA congratulated the success of the first manned exploration of Mars by the Naro Space Center on its official website and SNS.

[KARI is the Best of Best! We just follow suit.]

The Nasa Nan Hangwooyeon (a superior organization of the Naro Center) was officially recognized as the best, and the plan to establish a branch of Nasa in Korea was officially announced.

The director of NASA, not a spokesperson, held a press conference and made the announcement himself.

“We have to go to the Naro Space Center. Everything for space exploration is prepared there.”

“It’s unfortunate, but Houston has lost its ability to lead the way in space exploration. But I can only thank God that Cheongdam-dong is destined to be the best friend of our United States of America.”

The director of the National Intelligence Service specifically mentioned Cheongdam-dong, not South Korea.

Intellectuals and the public in South Korea both knew that it was not just a simple place name, but an expression symbolizing Ha Su-yeong.

Most Americans and citizens around the world who are unaware of world affairs were puzzled and responded with, “What is Cheongdam-dong?”

“NASA is going to Korea? The same NASA that sent the first astronaut to the moon?”

“Where on earth is Korea? Are you talking about that gangster country that always talks nonsense about nuclear weapons?”

“This time, Korea sent a man to Mars. NASA has now bowed down and admitted that they are behind the times.”

“Huh? Didn’t NASA send people to Mars? There were three space shuttles?”

“No. We purchased a retired space shuttle from Korea, repaired it, and sent it to Mars. NASA just ran errands here and there and didn’t take the lead in anything.”

More than 30% of people worldwide believed that NASA, not Korea, took the lead in the Mars exploration broadcast live.

Even though it was a live broadcast with Korean audio and local language subtitles, it was like this.

This meant that Korea’s recognition in the world was low, and NASA’s recognition was absolute.

Cheongdam 2 was loaded with supplies necessary for life on Mars.

After filling up with food, water, exploration and research equipment, and other necessities, we headed back to Mars.

This time, Ha Soo-young did not ride, but Android Freedom 3 was brought in to replace the pilot.

Sending only one unit would have been enough, but for safety reasons, three units were sent to prepare for a breakdown.

Although the Aerospace Research Institute is beginning to make a name for itself in the world, the real star is Suyeong Space.

All of Hangwooyeon’s recent achievements were possible thanks to its collaboration with Swimming Space.

The conglomerates rushed to Hangwooyeon, drooling over its value, and began to gradually lay the groundwork for privatization.

“If Hangwooyeon sells off all of its current technology and assets, it can make a lot of money.”

“Anyway, space exploration will proceed on its own without Hangwooyeon.”

“Now is the perfect time to sell Hangwooyeon’s assets at the highest price.”

The privatization of Hangwooyeon has been an issue that has been discussed in political and business circles for a long time.

In particular, the conglomerates still remember and envy the past when a certain telecommunications company secretly sold three strategic satellites to foreign countries without the government’s knowledge and made a lot of money.

Rohan was having a private meeting with the director of the Hangwooyeon Institute at the Naro Space Center.

“I’ve heard that there are a lot of temptations coming from both inside and outside these days.”

“Sir, that is……”

“Did you receive such an approach, sir?”

The director spoke in a crooked manner, with an awkward laugh running down his face.

“What power would someone like me have in Hangwooyeon? I feel pressured rather than tempted.”

“Are you telling us to quietly ignore the dark dealings going on under the surface?”

“Generally speaking, yes.”

“What assets are coveted externally?”

“These are things like the missile manufacturing, communication, and control technologies that we have developed. In the past, we imported a lot of the original technologies from Russia, but there are also technologies that we have also diligently accumulated over the years.”

The director explained earnestly while wiping away sweat.

“It seems that now, with the whole world watching Hangwooyeon, is the best time to sell off the assets.”

“Is this for sale overseas?”

“There are overseas sales brokerages, but most of them seem to be trying to eat away at our Hangwooyeon by establishing multiple subsidiaries in the business world and inserting straws. If we hand over the patent, our Hangwooyeon will have to pioneer space by paying royalties to the business world subsidiaries.”

“Let’s take a look at the list of skills.”

“Oh, yes.”

As a member of Congress and deeply involved in the space exploration committee, Rohan had formal access to the documents.

After quickly looking through the vast amount of data the director had shown, Rohan said.

“I will check it out and give you the data today. Please sell the checked technologies as if you are yielding to external pressure.”

“Sir? That is clearly a breach of trust.”

“It’s not a waste of time. Because those skills are now obsolete.”

“no way……?”

“You don’t have to get a good price. Just pretend to be pushed as much as possible and sell at a low price. However, please secure as much evidence as possible that you sold at a low price.”

The director hesitated, rolling his eyes, unable to answer right away.

Rohan looked calmly and then opened his mouth.

“Were you thinking of something else?”

“No, no! That’s absolutely not true! Please believe me!”

“You can pass this information back to them and get a bribe. In return, Cheongdam-dong will remember you and your bloodline forever.”

I never knew that the words “remember forever” could feel so eerie.

The director, who had turned pale, trembled like an aspen tree before finally asking.

“What does it mean to be remembered forever…?”

“Imagine as you see fit, and choose as you see fit. The choice is yours, and the consequences will be borne jointly by you and your descendants.”

I’ve heard a lot of pressure like threats to kill, demote, or cut off people’s livelihood.

Of course, they don’t say it out loud, but most of the time they convey their meaning indirectly.

However, it was the first time, even as the director, he had given a warning like, ‘I will remember it forever.’

And I had no idea how he would remember and how he would take revenge.

Because I can’t get a feel for it, the fear of the unknown engulfs my body even more.

“Director?”

“Oh, yes! Senator, I’m sorry! I understand what you said, so you don’t have to worry at all!”

“What is there to worry about? The grand scheme will not be disrupted by individual deviations. It can be corrected at any time, either in the middle or later.”

Rohan said with a strange smile, driving a wedge into the conversation.

“So, from now on, you can do whatever you want, Director. I just showed you a way, I didn’t force you to go there.”

The director vowed to himself that he would do as Rohan said even if it meant dying.

Rohan continued speaking.

“The space-related technologies that Hangwooyeon currently has are actually very backward. They are not compatible with our swimming space.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Personally, I think it’s better to scrap everything and start over cleanly. At the very least, the OS of all computers used at the Naro Space Center should be replaced with Freedom OS. The same goes for computer hardware.”

“From the perspective of the swimming space, is the Naro Space Center of no value to that extent?”

“The only thing of value is human resources. Material resources… would be launch facilities with no people around them and facilities for researchers to live and work.”

“…….”

“In fact, there is no need for the Naro Space Center to be in Jeonnam anymore.”

The reason Naro Center was established in the Jeonnam region is because it is the southernmost region on the Korean Peninsula connected to the mainland.

Originally, it was advantageous for a space launch site to be geographically close to the equator.

The location is decided by considering various conditions such as securing research personnel and transporting launch vehicle equipment.

“Don’t you feel something when you look at the fusion rockets and the launch vehicle tanks? There is no reason for the launch site to be so close to the equator anymore.”

Those efforts to save fuel and build up some momentum were no longer meaningful now that sufficient and abundant momentum had been secured.

Only then did the director realize.

The Naro Space Center no longer needs to stick to the southernmost region.

“Right now, access to Naro Island is inconvenient in many ways. I guess it can’t be helped since the small islands are connected by bridges. I think Jeju Island is not bad either.”

“jeju island…….”

“Gangwon-do and the northern part of Gyeonggi-do are okay because they have low population densities, but it’s hard to build an expensive base there because there’s always the threat of attack from North Korea. Suyeong Space plans to build a space launch base on Jeju Island.”

The value that Naro Space Center currently has in Suyeong Space is that it has a launch site and repair and storage facilities.

“Swimming Space will utilize the Naro Space Center while also building its own space center on Jeju Island.”

“When that happens, the Naro Space Center will no longer be needed.”

“It’s not that we don’t need them. Having an extra launch pad would be a huge help.”

Rohan glanced at the time and spoke again.

“Anyway, whatever the political and business world wants to sell off, sell it all off. Just make sure to collect the data.”

“Will you then announce the establishment of the Swimming Space Center?”

“No. First, the open recruitment for space researchers comes first.”

Rohan got up from his seat.

“I’m planning to gather all the excellent researchers currently at the center. That comes first.”
