After the dinner, Lin Ju and Zhong Chengcai reconnected after spending the evening apart.
"Has the news been leaked?"
"Nearly. Constructing the spaceport is too troublesome. To control the investment, it's necessary to expand the supply chain as much as possible. If the timeline could be relaxed a bit, the spaceport should be delayed until after 2030, instead of before."
Lin Ju furrowed his brows as he spoke. The idea for the spaceport - or rather, the Space City, Space Dock - wasn't originally New Yuan's proposition, but one that the military had first demanded.
The same old refrain, to manufacture large space vessels there must be a space dock. Taking a leap directly carries too great a risk, so there must be the establishment of a transitional, experimental spaceport.
This experimental spaceport would need about a decade to transition to a formal giant spaceport, not only to provide time for identifying issues but also to accumulate experience.
