Perhaps repeated failures had changed Karst's strategy, for upon the success of this mission, it provided a considerable wealth of technology, essentially spoon-feeding guidance for the subsequent manned orbital flight missions.
After that came the logical progression of demands: build a space station, launch lunar probes, land on the Moon, and so on. Over sixty years after its discovery, Karst finally began to flex its muscles.
It wasn't until after the completion of the unmanned lunar exploration mission that Karst requested a trip to Mars, but this time it provided a specific coordinate: Zero Plain.
This led to the hurried Departing Fire project, the inexplicably rapid rise of Xinyuan Company, and those miraculous ternary electronic technologies.
