The Aerospace Bureau and Yixing were also in continuous communication, discussing the Lunar Base Project.
The Lunar Base Project, which sounds like it's just about building a base, actually involves a vast amount of technology, difficulty, and engineering. Thinking in the long term, it might even exceed the spacecraft project.
The spacecraft project is just about building a spaceship, whereas the Lunar Base Project requires the construction of a base that must include a massive energy transmission center, large radar facilities, and enough space for humans to carry out normal activities.
When humans work on the moon for extended periods, they'll need a wealth of spacesuits, lunar rovers, ample food reserves, and various high-tech devices, as well as experimental and research equipment.
And so on.
"This is a project even more enormous than the spacecraft."
"It will be a super huge project, which may surpass the spacecraft in the future,"
concluded Zhao Yi.
