In the 2010s, the aerospace bureau had roughly planned the future process of lunar development.
It began with early unmanned exploration, namely the "Chang'e" series, from Chang'e 1 to Chang'e 8 missions which were all about conducting scientific exploration of the Moon and sampling. Around 2025, missions 9 and 10 would be executed, starting the construction of preliminary facilities for the Lunar Scientific Investigation Station.
According to the original plan, the aerospace bureau would organize manned lunar landings at this time, neatly dovetailing with the concluded Chang'e program.
Now, however, the "Chang'e" and "Dawn" were being carried out concurrently, which meant subsequent Chang'e series would streamline exploration projects to focus primarily on supporting the construction of the Scientific Investigation Station.
Whether they were from the aggressive faction or the conservative faction, there was consensus on this matter.
