10 trillion yuan, is that much?

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 subtracting 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 only half of 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 say that the bricks and mortar will tell you that the economy is not that important. The economy is only a small part of the comprehensive 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

No. 1 in the world. 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, which used to be deplorable in the past, 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 too big a deal. You 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 for the time being and restart it when conditions are mature." Zhang Tianqin, Director of CNNA, 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, sa will definitely be a favorable party. Its importance and power will further increase, and China's aerospace field will also further develop. This

This is what Zhang Tianqin wants to see.

But at this level, as director, 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 various 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. Regardless of the economic return,

In terms of returns on social influence, both are very astonishing, enough to deal a heavy blow to the existing order and completely establish China's right to speak in the aerospace field.

However, Qin Yuanqing also understands if it is not passed now, 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.

There is nowhere like China now, where the debt ratio is almost 0. Look at how many countries in the world have a debt ratio of 100%, not even 100, but maybe 80.

If there is temporary financial pressure, issuing national bonds is the way to go.

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 got 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. If you let me serve as the general manager,

You are really powerless, unless you split me in half."

When Qin Yuanqing said this, he smiled bitterly.

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 require Qin Yuanqing to solve them 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, but now it is only used on a large scale on the moon base.

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

There are actually only three things to build a lunar base. One is to increase the construction of transport-type aerospace aircraft and produce more transport-type aerospace aircraft to meet the huge transportation requirements; the other is to increase the intensity of training 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 later?" The old man thought about it, took a step back, and proposed that Qin Yuanqing be the commander-in-chief.

General Advisor of the Moon Base' Project.

"General Counselor?" Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment, and 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 agree, the conference room burst into warm applause again, as if Qin Yuanqing agreed to serve as general counsel, they felt confident.

However, the results of the meeting were not announced immediately, but 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.

used in research, and announced the main leadership team members of the 'Moon Base' project.

In the first row, Qin Yuanqing serves as the general advisor, 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 is shared by mankind and any country has the right to develop the moon, the huge 10 trillion yuan of funds, the 'lunar base' and the science fiction model were directly overshadowed by the news as soon as it was announced.

After all the news, even the controversy over 'cryonics and hibernation technology' suddenly became insignificant.
