The approval of the space exploration project has always been a big issue, or to say, research related to the latest technology has continuously faced approval problems, primarily due to the involvent of massive amounts of funding.
If the funding were to be allocated directly from the research funds, many projects that require substantial investnt could not obtain the necessary funds.
Therefore, every ti a project involving a significant amount of funds is encountered, high-level etings need to be convened to discuss the specifics.
For example, the Z-wave experint project.
The study of the physical properties of the Z-wave coverage area is a very large project, involving funds exceeding ten billion, which prompted the high-level officials to convene several etings before deciding on the funding sources for the project.
Research related to Z-wave is highly significant for space exploration and can be included in related research, similar to other studies.
Take the Aerospace Bureau, for example.
In the past couple of years, the Aerospace Bureau has been collaborating with Yixing and has manufactured several top-tier spacecraft. Because, unlike Yixing, which can sell spacecraft or profit in other ways, the Aerospace Bureau’s funds rely on financial allocations by the governnt; its external profit-making capabilities are very poor.
Not to ntion each year, but every quarter, a high-level eting is needed to address the substantial funding allocated to the Aerospace Bureau.
Due to the nurous etings, the outco each ti involves reallocating financial or other funds, including direct taxation and profits from large enterprises, and even moving taxes with direct financial orders, clearly indicating significant issues.
This also limits the developnt of the latest technology and research related to space exploration.
Many people have recognized this issue and have been seeking solutions. So have proposed establishing a dedicated foundation, allocating a certain percentage of annual taxes as a direct budget.
Whether for the latest technology or space exploration, no amount of money invested is unaccounted for, like Yixing’s Energy-Gathering Satellite, for instance. The Aerospace Bureau obtained a manufacturing permit, and they can launch their own Energy-Gathering Satellites. Then there are projects related to the Lunar Base; many space-related research projects hope to build laboratories at the Lunar Base, which would use up any allocated funds.
Therefore, setting aside a reasonable range of budget, akin to national budgeting, is directly allocated from the total tax revenue proportionally, establishing a dedicated research foundation could save many problems down the line.
Zhao Yi holds an affirmative stance regarding what the high-level leaders have said because he has applied for many projects, which always require high-level etings to allocate funds—a truly troubleso matter.
If there were a dedicated foundation, applying for funds could be much simpler, without the need for decisions through the technology departnt or high-level etings.
Additionally, establishing a foundation focused on the latest technology and space exploration would allow more enterprises to participate, not just the governnt.
Enterprises are more dynamic. Many companies hope to invest in the field of space exploration, but with the upstream and downstream industries monopolized, they have no chance to participate. Only enterprises related to Yixing can get involved, but that’s just a few companies, which surely cannot invigorate the entire market. Only with the participation of more enterprises can the relevant technological fields rapidly develop and the market swiftly expand.
Zhao Yi has spoken at length with the high-level leaders. He usually doesn’t comnt on major policies, rely listening, but when it cos to the latest technology and space exploration, he must express his views, as most of the core technologies co from him or his team.
He felt sowhat tired on the return trip. It was impossible to rest properly at the Lunar Base, and on the Xuanhuang, he could only stay in the gravity research laboratory, where one-tenth of Earth’s gravity still felt uncomfortably weak.
Zhao Yi was relatively well-adapted. So, on their first space trip, accompanying the high-level leaders, even suffered from vomiting.
Several people were like this.
The high-level leaders were in a relatively better state, probably due to their strong adaptability. Another important reason was that they stayed continuously in the gravity research laboratory, where the gravity of one-tenth its strength on Earth was surely much better than floating in a spacecraft. Thus, the high-level leaders simply allowed several people to co in, packing the laboratory full.
The high-level leaders kept saying, "This gravity manipulation technology is so useful, it should be installed throughout the ship to help those not accustod to space get used to it."
Zhao Yi said, "That’s what I think too, but the technology isn’t mature yet. One problem is that the effect is too weak, and the other is that its range of influence is quite small."
"We are working hard to continue developnt, hoping to create a stronger gravity effect over a larger area."
"Once we return, this research will be a priority."

The Xuanhuang successfully completed its landing.
Because ensuring the stability and safety of the landing was paramount, the anti-gravity system was kept active throughout the descent, with downward acceleration not being rapid. Close to the ground, the smart anti-gravity control and large parachutes were also activated, increntally increasing gravity in proportions to minimize the pressure inside the vessel.
Thus, the entire process of landing was relatively smooth, as having gravity underfoot was actually more comfortable than traveling in space.
