Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about an interesting topic today! And guess what? Japan actually wants to borrow the lunar soil brought back by our Chang'e-6 to exhibit at the Osaka World Expo! Isn't that interesting? Let's talk about it!
To be honest, when I heard the news, my first reaction was: "Oh, Japan is trying to rub off on our popularity!" "You think, Chang'e-6 is the pride of our China, and the lunar soil brought back is the treasure of the treasures. Japan wants to use this to show its face at the World Expo, which is really not easy!
But when I think about it, it's kind of interesting. Let's not rush to conclusions, let's talk about the doorway.
First of all, we have to admit that the lunar soil brought back by Chang'e-6 is indeed a treasure. It's not something you can get casually, and there's a lot of scientific value in it. Studying these lunar soils will give us a better understanding of the moon's geological environment, and even help for future space exploration. Therefore, it is not surprising that Japan has taken a fancy to this treasure.
Besides, this lunar soil is not just about scientific value. It also carries the pride and pride of our Chinese! Think about it, our own probe, fly to the moon, collect samples, and return safely. This series of operations is the embodiment of high technology! Therefore, this lunar soil also contains the cultural heritage of our Chinese nation!
So the question is, why does Japan want to borrow this exhibition? Let's put ourselves in their shoes.
Japan may want to show the friendly relations between China and Japan through this exhibition. You think, if you can borrow such a precious thing, it must be a good relationship, right? In this way, won't we be able to enhance the understanding and friendship between the two peoples?
Japan may also want to take this opportunity to add some attraction to the Osaka Expo. After all, things on the moon aren't something you can see casually. If you can really exhibit lunar soil, it will definitely attract many international tourists and investors, right? In this way, won't the popularity and influence of the Osaka World Expo go up?
When you hear this, you might say, "Oh, then we'll lend it to them, and we won't have anything to lose anyway." "But it's not that simple!
We have to think about history. Do you remember the collection of precious seals of the Xiling Seal Society? It was loaned to Japan for exhibitions that year, and what was the result? "Missing"! This can't happen again. Therefore, some netizens suggested: "Return the precious seal collection of the Xiling Seal Society back and talk about it, so as not to be borrowed by Japan again and 'disappear'." "That's a bit of a point!
There are also smart netizens who put forward an even more desperate idea: "Sign the contract first: it is only for exhibition, not for research." Then I grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and lent it to them, charging a high exhibition fee. If they find out that it is not lunar soil, then they are in breach of contract. If it is lost during the exhibition, it will be compensated hefty. "What a bad and clever idea!
There are also netizens who consider it from the perspective of cultural exchange. They believe that cultural exchanges are an important way to enhance understanding and friendship between countries and help build harmonious international relations. There is no reason for that. After all, we can't always think of others so badly, can we?
Some netizens said: "There is really no need for China to be too stingy, it is completely possible to take a test tube from the Tengger Desert to simulate the sand on the far side of the moon and send it to the exhibition, and the Americans seem to have done the same to Denmark." "That sounds like an interesting idea. It will not reveal the real lunar soil, but it can also meet the needs of Japan's exhibitions, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
At the end of the day, it's a tough deal. On the one hand, we want to protect our scientific research results and cultural heritage. On the other hand, we also hope to promote international cultural exchanges. How to balance the two is indeed a difficult problem.
I think so, let's think about it like this:
If you really want to borrow, you must sign a strict contract. Clearly stipulate the time, place, and manner of the exhibition, as well as the standard of compensation in case of accidents. This can protect our interests to the greatest extent.
Consideration could be given to lending only a small number of lunar soil samples, but not all. This not only meets the needs of exhibitions in Japan, but also protects the safety of most of the samples.
Experts from the mainland can be dispatched to accompany the exhibition throughout the exhibition to ensure the safety of lunar soil samples, and at the same time, it can also take this opportunity to show the international community the mainland's aerospace achievements.
It is also possible to consider taking this opportunity to ask the Japanese side to give some reciprocal results in other areas. For example, some preferential conditions will be given in terms of scientific and technological cooperation and cultural exchanges. In this way, mutual benefit and win-win results can be achieved.
Japan's request for an exhibition on lunar soil is both a challenge and an opportunity. We should be cautious, but we shouldn't be overly nervous. As long as we are well prepared and set strict rules, we can protect our own interests and promote international cultural exchanges.
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think should be done about this? Should I borrow or should I not borrow? If so, how? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let's discuss together! Don't forget to like and follow, and we'll see you next time!
