Number One Player

He shrugged: "These are all hard work. For anything in history, the step from 0 to 1 has always been the most difficult. After getting through the most difficult beginning, I am confident about the next progress."

"This is too false. Give me a specific time." Nie Zhibo asked.

Lu Yanchi thought for a while and said, "Well, in mid-August, I will be able to thoroughly deduce this technology to the point where it can be used in military applications, and complete the theoretical prototype of combining it with aerospace technology to lay the foundation for interstellar voyages." .”

After a pause, he continued: "Well...if the country's support is large enough, I am even sure to complete the engineering application of space technology and aerospace before the end of October."

Seeing the surprised looks from the two people around him, Lu Yanchi quickly added a twist: "But!"

"However, if we want to achieve this speed, the support provided by the state must be very, very, very large, and it is bound to cost a very, very, very large amount of scientific research funds."

Lu Yanchi used three exceptions in a row to focus on adjusting the consumption of scientific research funds.

"A very, very, very large amount of scientific research funds?" Shang Yinhe was a little curious, "Approximately how much scientific research funds do you need?"

Lu Yanchi visibly hesitated for a moment, then hesitantly gave an explanation: "At least... well... at least start with tens of billions of dollars..."

"Ten billions of dollars!" Nie Zhibo shouted suddenly, his tone changing slightly, "Are you kidding me?!"

"I didn't..." Lu Yanchi replied weakly.

Nie Zhibo was simply roaring: "Last year, our country's annual GDP was only 12 trillion US dollars! You are going to eat a thousandth of it in one go!"

Chapter 281 Sky-high Budget

"It starts with tens of billions of dollars, not just spending tens of billions of dollars."

As if Nie Zhibo's surprise was not enough, Lu Yanchi even emphasized it: "According to my estimate, if it is a little exaggerated, maybe 100 billion US dollars will be invested, and it will only make a sound."

After saying this, Lu Yanchi was still a little unsatisfied: "Also, the tens of billions of dollars in budget I mentioned refer to the expenditures by the end of October. After that... maybe, maybe, that... at least the same amount is needed. Funds to burn money..."

Facing the disbelieving looks of his friends, Lu Yanchi, who was still somewhat confident at first, couldn't help but lower his voice. His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally silenced.

The crowd was silent for a while.

Nie Zhibo couldn't help but laugh and broke the silence: "The joke you told is so funny, haha, haha, hahaha..."

"...This is not a joke," Lu Yanchi said a little aggrieved, "You were the one who told me before that you should 'do whatever it takes'! Money is already the easiest thing to get among all the costs!"

"I said no matter what the cost, but..."

For a moment, Nie Zhibo felt speechless.

At that time in the Sky City, it was indeed him who solemnly told Lu Yanchi that you must complete this technology at all costs.

"But, but... the price you mentioned is too exaggerated!" After a long time, Nie Zhibo regained his consciousness and couldn't help but complain.

"It's not an exaggeration. I only talked about the financial budget." Lu Yanchi said it lightly.

(Nie Zhibo: "It's just"! You actually described burning tens of billions of dollars in more than two months as "just"!)

(But he strongly restrained his desire to complain - the person opposite is my alliance partner, a genius in scientific research, I have to restrain a little... I really can't restrain myself OTZ)

"If, I mean if, if we want to explore the universe through ultra-long-distance teleportation," Lu Yanchi had no awareness of Nie Zhibo's psychological activities, and his starting point was particularly non-economic and non-involved. The demeanor of a political scientific researcher, "Here, the ultra-distance in the universe I am talking about refers to a distance that can travel at least thirteen light years, which means that it can at least allow us to reach the known possible support star in the direction of Omega Centauri. The living planet Kaptan b.”

Lu Yanchi said: "If we want to achieve this goal, the cost of the entire project, the manpower and material support required, the related disciplines involved, and the rare materials required will all be a very exaggerated astronomical figure. number."

Speaking of this, Lu Yanchi couldn't help but glance at his friends with a sense of grievance: "In a project like this, tens of billions of dollars is really just a small start."

Lu Yanchi was indeed aggrieved.

Although the number he mentioned sounds "a bit exaggerated" (ok, maybe not a bit), this value is already the result of his streamlined budget.

Throughout 2017, the federal government approved an annual budget of US$20.7 billion for NASA (Federal National Aeronautics and Space Administration), and this amount does not even include the massive budget of the US military and the investment of major aerospace companies.

Of course, in comparison, China's investment in the aerospace field is relatively frugal. China's aerospace budget in 2017 was only about US$2 billion. Even if we calculate the total cost between the launch of the manned spaceflight project in 1992 and the completion of Shenzhou-10 in 2013, it does not exceed 20 billion yuan, or about 2.9 billion US dollars.
