Super Biotech Empire

With the merger of Xiaomi Aerospace and Penguin Aerospace, the aerospace field on the earth has once again become confusing, because other aerospace companies except the Empire, an institution with super technology, do not have so much scientific and technological strength to develop space. Research. Even though a large number of aerospace engineers were absorbed by these private companies when all the countries on the earth were evacuated, these scientific and technological materials could not support this strength at all.

And the most important thing is that the Imperial Council did not intend to disseminate those materials to all aerospace companies in the world for free or at a very small cost. Instead, it is sold at a high price, which raises the bar for technology acquisition a lot. The Government Council also has some considerations in doing this. The first is to obtain a sum of funds to prepare for the next large-scale investment; the second is to improve the barriers to technology acquisition, and then gather funds to support a group of aerospace companies with independent research and development capabilities. .

The Imperial Academy of Sciences simply doesn't have the extra energy to invest in the civilian aerospace field, but now it has become a consensus for humans to enter space. The survey report from the Imperial Institute of Strategic Studies shows that there is a great shortage of aerospace equipment in the world. All the technologies and equipment developed by the Star Group are based on the use of the military, so they are not suitable for the civilian population. Therefore, the Government Council intends to support a group of companies that can produce these instruments and provide some support for private space exploration.

"Your Majesty, this is the Venus transformation plan we made. According to our plan, we can produce five billion trillion standard energy blocks every year without affecting the Venus crust, but the investment is relatively large." A 30-year-old The man was reporting the renovation plan of Venus to the high-level empire sitting below.

"How much is the investment?" Luo Meijia, who is in charge of the empire's finances, first asked.

"Minister Luo, it's about three trillion star coins." The man said angrily.

"Dai Liren, is this the minimum budget for your project team?" Kong Ru asked directly, and he also had great doubts about this figure.

"Your Majesty, the principal's budget is indeed our lowest budget. You can see that the establishment of a power network covering Venus is a very huge investment. Because the environment of Venus is not suitable for human survival, all construction in this project requires The number of these robots alone is huge." Dai Liren was the first graduate of Starry Sky Academy, so he was called Principal Kong Ru.

"No, our Ministry of Finance can't afford this figure at all. Even with the support of the central bank, there is no way." Luo Meijia directly denied the whole plan. Now is not the time for the Star Group, and the empire is under construction. A lot of money was spent during the period. She, the finance minister, is about to become a warehouse manager, and there are not many things in the warehouse.

"Your plan is very good, but you have underestimated that it is now an empire rather than a country. We don't need to use the financial resources of a company to support the entire plan. We mobilize the financial resources of the entire country. You Go back and divide this plan into several parts, and then use the method of private bidding, I think the final investment figure will be reduced by half." Chen Qiang said directly after thinking for a while.

"No, Your Majesty, I object. Now star coins and energy coins are bound, and energy coins and energy blocks are also integrated. If private capital is introduced, the current financial system will collapse immediately." Su Yan, the central bank The president of the bank directly raised his objection.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to distribute the one trillion commercial support funds through procurement?" Lei Jun seemed to understand something, so he asked.

"Almost, there is one trillion in business support funds, and there are 1.5 trillion in technology subsidies that add up to 2.5 trillion. The Ministry of Finance will spend 500 billion to make up three trillion and then use this project to circulate all the money. Go to the private sector, so that at least a group of companies with relatively strong scientific research capabilities can be cultivated." Chen Qiang did not hide his thoughts.

"It is possible, but it is difficult for the universities to explain. Most of the scientific research of this project has been accepted by various universities. If we follow your majesty's instructions, we need to take back every scientific research project and send it to the Major companies. If you do this, the science and technology R\u0026D funds from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology will have nowhere to go.” Wang Peng, Minister of Education, also raised his own objections.

"This part of the funds will be used for the later basic research. As for the research project, you and the Strategic Research Institute can draft a copy." Chen Qiang found that a large amount of funds were indeed vacant in this way, so he decided to Advance the basic scientific research projects. Originally, this project was planned to start in three years. These three years are a buffer period for the empire, but now that he has a fund, he directly advances it. Basic scientific research should be done sooner rather than later. After all, all technologies are based on basic theories.

When Chen Qiang said this, Wu Aiguo, who was sitting next to him, hesitated to speak, because the government's funds are also very tight now, but the financial budget formulated by the Strategic Research Institute is not for the Government Council. There are few, but it is a bit tight to build the whole earth. But in the end, he still held back the idea of ​​asking for the funds, because he couldn't forget the power of the wandering merchant Carlo.

"Lao Luo, have you seen the announcements from the Government Affairs Council and the Academy of Sciences? I think the high-temperature superconductor we invented should be able to get some orders?" A sweaty man didn't even take off his white coat. He rushed into an office and asked quickly.

"I saw it, but our high-temperature superconductor is not stable, so it won't pass if we submit the information, and now our funds are very tight, and we can't support it at all." This is Lao Luo. The man wrinkled and said nothing.

"I still have the Star Group's venture capital quota. As long as we get this order at that time, the whole company will no longer have funding problems. How much do you imagine covering the entire surface of Venus?" Wearing a white coat The man thought of it with some longing. He and Lao Luo are both employees of the Star Group, and they started their business when the empire was restructured before the establishment of the empire. There are now many such technology companies in the world, most of which were founded by employees of the Star Group.

"Okay, let's take a gamble." Lao Luo finally gritted his teeth and agreed. And his decision also brought the whole company to the status of the top 500 private enterprises in all mankind.
