Rebirth of science and technology academic master

10 trillion yuan, too much or not! ?

A lot, a lot. This is a huge number, equivalent to the total military expenditure of China for five years. Such a huge amount of money can do a lot of things.

But everyone participating in this meeting is a true elite of China, and their vision is not limited to the short term, but takes a long-term view.

What they care more about is what the lunar production base can bring to China? Is it adding points to China's future or deducting points?

There is no doubt that the lunar production base will add points to China's future. It will greatly promote China's technological and scientific development. It will lead China from a home star civilization to a planetary civilization, and from a Universe 1 civilization to a Universe 2 civilization. super civilization.

In today's era, although China's comprehensive national strength is still ranked second in the world by many magazines and media, the reason is very simple. China's per capita GDP is half that of the United States. China has almost no overseas military bases, while the United States has more than 140 military bases around the world. Countries and regions have more than 600 overseas military bases and more than 270,000 US troops stationed abroad. They still control key nodes of ocean waterways.

As for China being the world's largest economy and the world's largest consumer market, I'm sorry to tell you that the economy is not that important. The economy is only a small part of the overall national strength.

But everyone who attended the meeting knew that after so many years of development, China has taken the lead in entering the fourth industrial revolution, and its social productivity has been further improved. China's comprehensive national strength has jumped to the first echelon in the world. In terms of comprehensive national strength, China has become World number one. It's just that China loves peace and believes that peace and development are the mainstream of the world. Peace and development are hard-won. They don't want the world order to be broken. War will only cause ordinary people to suffer and be displaced. So they maintain the superficial world order.

In fact, China has already gained the right to speak in many fields. The pricing power of oil and iron ore that used to be painful has long been controlled by China. Behind many world-class minerals are Chinese companies, but they have taken a name familiar to the West. Just an English name.

After a heated discussion, everyone expressed their opinions. During the afternoon meeting, the experts did not attend the meeting again. Qin Yuanqing was also waiting outside.

"Academician Qin, this is a big deal. We have invested 10 trillion yuan to build a production base on the moon. It seems that the leaders are also very cautious. They will probably put it on hold temporarily and start it again when conditions are mature." CNSA Director Zhang Tianqin and Qin Yuanqing stood together and sighed.

Zhang Tianqin is actually ambitious about the lunar production base and wants to promote its establishment. After all, once the lunar production base plan is approved, no matter what in the future, CNSA will definitely be a favorable party, and its importance and power will further increase. China's aerospace field will also It will develop further, which is what Zhang Tianqin hopes to see.

But at this level, as the director of CNSA, Zhang Tianqin does not have much say, and the weight of his words is even far less than that of Qin Yuanqing.

Seeing that during the morning meeting, several departments strongly opposed the project, Zhang Tianqin realized that it was impossible to promote a lunar production base.

Zhang Tianqin can also understand. After all, the moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth, and as much as 10 trillion yuan has been invested. It is normal to have concerns in all aspects.

"It's normal to have opinions, and I understand it very well." Qin Yuanqing said calmly. In his opinion, the lunar production base is a high-investment, high-yield project, and the rate of return is extremely amazing. Whether it is economic returns, In terms of returns on social influence, they are all very amazing, enough to deal a heavy blow to the existing order and completely establish China's right to speak in the aerospace field.

However, if it is not passed now, Qin Yuanqing also understands it, because sooner or later the future will prove that this project is correct.

Qin Yuanqing also looked back at himself and found that he was indeed a little impatient, and his steps were too big, so big that they exceeded everyone's imagination, and his thinking could not keep up.

Otherwise, during the discussion stage of the morning meeting, many people would be unfavorable and hold opposing opinions.

As for financial opinions, Qin Yuanqing never paid attention to them. As he once said, finance is like a sponge, there is always squeeze.

Now, nowhere is China like this, with a debt ratio of almost 0. Look at how many countries in the world have a debt ratio of 100%, not 100, but maybe 80.

If there is temporary financial pressure, issuing national bonds will do the trick.

Even project financing is a very good solution. Qin Yuanqing believes that market financing for this project, let alone 10 trillion yuan, is 20 trillion yuan.

"Academician Qin, please come to the conference room!" At this moment, a middle-aged man came over and said politely.

Qin Yuanqing stood up and followed the middle-aged man into the conference room. Compared with the morning, the number of participants in the afternoon meeting was reduced by more than half.

"Academician Qin, before announcing the results of the meeting, I would like to ask again whether a lunar production base is feasible?" The dean looked at Qin Yuanqing and said solemnly.

"It's feasible, there's no problem at all." Qin Yuanqing seemed to realize something and nodded solemnly.

"Can the lunar production base really speed up China's entry into the interstellar era?" the dean said again solemnly.

"Yes, the completion of the lunar production base will basically announce that China has entered the interstellar era. China's aerospace planes will be able to spread throughout the solar system and even fly out of the solar system!" Qin Yuanqing gave the exact answer again.

"Then, I announce the results of the meeting and agree to establish a lunar production base. The project name will be the 'Moon Base' plan!" the dean said, with a smile on his face.

At this time, warm applause erupted in the conference room, and the 'Moon Base' plan was passed with warm applause.

Qin Yuanqing felt a sense of joy in his heart. He felt that everyone's applause was so powerful, so full of pride, and so full of hope.

He did not expect that after a one-day meeting, such a huge project would actually be approved.

"Academician Qin, I would like to ask you, are you willing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the 'Moon Base' project and be responsible for the entire plan?" The dean looked at Qin Yuanqing: "To be honest, you are an expert in this field and the most authoritative , we don’t feel at ease if we leave it to others.”

"This." Qin Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Dear leaders, now that the 'Double Ring Space Station' project has entered the construction stage, it is facing various problems at any time. It is really powerless for me to be the general person in charge, unless Split me in half."

Qin Yuanqing smiled bitterly when he said this.

The 'Double Ring Space Station' project has entered the construction stage, which means that the most important and challenging moment has arrived. No matter how well the various models are demonstrated on the ground, and how well the supercomputers calculate, when it comes to actual operations in space, various future Any differences that have been considered or calculated will be exposed. As the commander-in-chief of the 'Double Ring Space Station' project, the most important thing for Qin Yuanqing is to escort the 'Double Ring Space Station' project, solve various problems, and ensure that The smooth construction of the 'Double Ring Space Station' project.

In contrast, although the 'Moon Base' has higher investment and a larger scale, the technical problems are actually not that big. Whether it is production lines, robots, automation, and intelligent production technologies, China has already mastered many of them. The factories are all in application.

For example, in logistics, robots and automated selection are widely used, making China's logistics capabilities equivalent to the combined logistics capabilities of other countries.

As for steel plants, mining sites, helium 3 refining, rare earth refining technology, etc., China has actually mastered every technology. It just needs to apply the technology from the earth to the moon, and some more advanced processes need to be improved.

There are some technical problems, but these technical problems are not big and do not even need to be solved by Qin Yuanqing himself.

For example, cosmic ray irradiation enhanced refining technology. This advanced technology has actually been mastered by China through many experiments when it was on the Tiangong space station. Now it is only used on a large scale on the moon base.

There is also the technology needed to refine oxygen on the moon to supply people, which has been verified and mastered as early as the establishment of the first scientific research station.

In fact, there are only three things to build a lunar base. One is to increase the construction of transportation aerospace aircraft and produce more transportation aerospace aircraft to meet the huge transportation requirements; the other is to increase the training of astronauts and build The aerospace team and the training of corresponding engineers; the last thing is to ensure the investment of funds.

"In this way, we can feel more at ease if you appoint the general adviser of the 'Moon Base' project. As for the commander-in-chief of the 'Moon Base' project, how about we discuss it some time?" The old man thought about it, took a step back, and proposed that Qin Yuanqing be the commander-in-chief. General Advisor of the Lunar Base' Project.

"General Counselor?" Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment, then looked at everyone again, knowing that if he didn't agree, they would probably be worried about this huge investment and large-scale project. Finally, Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly: "Okay!"

Seeing Qin Yuanqing agreeing, warm applause rang out in the conference room again, as if Qin Yuanqing agreed to serve as general counsel, they gained confidence.

However, the results of the meeting were not announced immediately. Instead, they were not officially announced until 2 months after the meeting. In this official document, it was officially clear that 10 trillion yuan would be invested to establish a production base on the moon, dedicated to scientific research. Research was used and the main leadership team members of the 'Moon Base' project were announced.

In the first line, Qin Yuanqing serves as the general adviser, which is so conspicuous. This means that Qin Yuanqing's title has been added once again, and it is quite weighty.

Although it has been repeatedly emphasized that the moon belongs to mankind and any country has the right to develop the moon, the huge funds of 10 trillion yuan, as well as the 'lunar base' and the model full of science fiction colors, as soon as the news was announced, it directly overwhelmed After all the news, even the controversy of 'cryonics and hibernation technology' suddenly became insignificant.
