N4 sat beside Li Aozi, her legs crossed and her high heels on the ground, revealing her beautiful ankles. She propped up her chin and sparkles flickered in her eyes:
"I'm really curious, why do you keep provoking the great powers? What's it all for?"
"For going to space," Li Aozi didn't bother to conceal it. "You'll see in a while."
"You could choose to cooperate. Mingji Heavy Industries did just that."
"Which is why you've gone three hundred years without reaching space."
Li Aozi said with a teasing tone:
"Because capital pursues profit. Sponsors won't allow you to do thankless tasks. Developing aviation requires ten thousand civil enterprises to provide parts and materials, at least two hundred thousand workers, to select the best astronauts from hundreds of millions of people, and then send them into space full of Ersha, never to return — there's no business value in that."
N4 blinked her pretty eyes and said:
"You're sometimes smarter than I thought."
