Referring to the Antarctic agreement, people can not help but think of what happened in Antarctica. At that time, European countries almost divided Antarctica.

    However, as soon as the world''s strongest Soviet Union and the United States arrived, they declared the division of Europe invalid, and then, despite their opposition, they directly established scientific research stations on the Antarctic and occupied most of the territory of the Antarctic.

    In Antarctica, China''s control area is only more than 100 square kilometers, while the United States has tens of thousands of square kilometers! Hundreds of times worse!

    "If the new moon agreement is in accordance with the Antarctic agreement, we can quickly establish several bases and occupy the resource rich areas on the moon!" Du Xingyu said. "When the moon Guanghan palace base is completed, our actual control area will become the first in the world!"

    "Yes, Du Xingyu is right!" Cao Liang said. "That''s what it means. We need to find a way to occupy as many resource rich areas on the moon as possible before the signing of the new moon agreement."

    "At the same time, we should not make too much publicity, otherwise other countries will certainly modify the contents of the moon agreement."

    Du Xingyu touched his nose and said, "I have an idea."

    "Say it." everyone looked at him.

    Du Xingyu continued: "according to the current international default, the human activity space for more than four people to maintain on the lunar surface for half a year can be regarded as a lunar base. Our life capsule fully meets the conditions! We can create multiple ''lunar bases'' in the shortest time by adding an inflatable radiation shield."

    "As long as we do this... We can catch them by surprise! Occupy the most lunar resources!"

    "That''s a good idea!" the crowd laughed. "It''s because they don''t know how many materials we can transport to the moon. As long as we hide one hand, we can surprise them!"

    ……

    A month later, on the moon.

    At the American lunar base, six American astronauts are welcoming their new teammates. Four more astronauts are coming down from the lunar module.

    "Welcome!" astronaut Eddie went up to hug them.

    "Great, if you come, we can build more strongholds!" astronaut Titus laughed.

    "Now this place can barely let us survive. You need to expand your living space!" Eddie pointed to the small cave behind them.

    It was built in imitation of Huaxia cave base, which is much smaller than that of Huaxia, but it can survive if wronged.

    "We have been ordered by the space command to build more than three strongholds within one month and occupy the most resource rich area on the moon." the Americans have explored the moon for decades and the distribution of resources on the lunar surface is very clear.

    In the messenger, the commander of the American space force said: "in a month, the new moon agreement will be signed. At that time, these territories will directly belong to our great United States! Now, it is time for you to work!"

    "Then hurry up! We have to be careful of the Chinese and Russians next to us, especially the Chinese. They seem to have a lot of people!" Eddie said.

    "Although there are many of them, they are so stupid that they have been digging caves!" the commander laughed. The American lunar satellite has been monitoring the lunar base in China.

    In addition to digging in the cave, the Chinese astronauts also set up a very large radiation protection shed on the lunar surface. It seems that people work under the shed every day, but the Americans can''t see what they are doing.

    "In a month, we will promote the signing of the moon agreement at the United Nations General Assembly. At that time, as long as the ''scientific research sites'' we occupy are all around our territory. If the Chinese are willing to dig caves, let them dig them. You should start construction as soon as possible and seize the resource points," said the commander.

    "Yes." the American astronauts began to work. Before they set out, they still need to expand their living space.

    A few days later, the Russian lunar module landing site also welcomed three new team members, who were also building their own base.

    China''s Taiyin spacecraft goes back and forth between the earth and the moon once a week. Several times ago, the lunar exploration satellites of the United States and other countries could take some pictures.

    But later, they not only covered the vicinity of the lunar landing site, but even accurately measured the orbit of satellites of various countries.

    Only when the satellite is over the target area can it be photographed clearly, and the actions of Chinese astronauts are staggered by foreign reconnaissance satellites.

    At present, there are only a few satellites on the moon, and they have not even had time to launch special military reconnaissance satellites, so they can not achieve comprehensive monitoring at all.

    "What are the Chinese doing?" all countries are confused. They want to find out, but there is the moon, and their space capabilities do not support their large-scale reconnaissance on the moon.

    The only thing that reassures everyone is that Chinese astronauts do not seem to have the intention of establishing bases and seizing territory in other places except for Geological Exploration on the lunar surface every day.

    "It''s very difficult for them to survive when so many people have gone to the moon! They must pay close attention to the construction of the lunar base. This new moon agreement must be passed at one time! They can''t give them more time!" this has become the consensus of all countries. As long as it is stipulated that a base can only manage one lunar surface area, it''s useless to have more people in the Chinese lunar base.

    The United Nations General Assembly was convened as scheduled, and all countries sent representatives to participate in the assembly.

    Before coming, we all knew that this conference was to revise the previous outer space treaty and formulate a new moon agreement.

    At the conference venue, representatives of all countries have taken their seats and are waiting for the beginning of the conference.

    The Secretary General stood on the stage and announced: "after the discussion of Member States, we have expanded the total number of 21 articles of the moon agreement adopted on December 5, 1979 to 102. Next, I will read out these agreements and vote on each agreement."

    "Article 1: the moon (including its orbit around, to and around the moon) shall be used only for peaceful purposes; the use or threat of force on the moon is prohibited; the installation of nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction on the moon is prohibited."

    In this article, the previous prohibition of building military bases on the moon has been deleted.

    "Vote on the first item now!"

    All countries have no objection to this article and directly adopted it by unanimous vote.

    "Article 2..."

    The content of the agreement was almost discussed by the representatives of several major countries before the meeting. Most of the treaties passed smoothly.

    Until the Treaty on the development and utilization of lunar resources.

    "Article 96: the moon and its natural resources are the common property of mankind. All countries can only explore and use the moon''s surface and below the surface, and shall not seriously damage the lunar environment; its scope shall be determined by the lunar scientific research bases already established or to be established by all countries... The detailed rules are as follows..."

    Finally, this is the most controversial one in the whole moon agreement.

    Those small countries do not want to agree to this article, because they have no ability to go to the moon and can only watch the big countries develop on the moon.

    Of course, the big powers don''t care what they think. The game of lunar resources among the aerospace powers is about to begin!
