Chapter 660 General Counsel of the Moon Base
10 trillion yuan, not much! ?
Many, very many, this is a huge number, equivalent to the sum of China's five-year military expenditure, such a huge sum can do a lot of things.
But everyone participating in this meeting is a true elite of China, and their vision will not be limited to the short-term, but long-term.
They are more concerned about what the lunar production base can bring to Huaxia?Is it to add points to China's future, or to subtract points.
And 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 parent star civilization to planetary civilization, from universe 1 civilization to universe 2 level 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 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 countries in the world. Countries and regions have more than 600 overseas military bases, with more than 27 US troops stationed abroad, and 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, Brickman will tell you that the economy is not that important, and the economy is only a small part of the overall national strength.
However, everyone who participated in the meeting knew that after so many years of development, Huaxia took the lead in stepping into the fourth industrial revolution, and social productivity was further improved. Huaxia's comprehensive national strength has jumped to the first echelon in the world. 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. Only then can the superficial world order be maintained.
In fact, Huaxia has gained the right to speak in many fields. The pricing power of oil and iron ore, which used to be heartbreaking in the past, has long been controlled by Huaxia. Behind many world-class minerals are Huaxia companies. English name only.
After a heated discussion, everyone expressed their opinions. During the afternoon meeting, none of the experts participated in the meeting, and Qin Yuanqing was also waiting outside.
"Academician Qin, this is a big deal. Investing 10 trillion yuan to build a production base on the moon, it seems that the leaders are also very cautious. It is estimated that it will be put on hold for a while and will be launched when the conditions are ripe." CNSA director Zhang Tianqin and Qin Yuanqing stood together, sighed and said.
For the lunar production base, Zhang Tianqin actually has ambitions and wants to promote its establishment. After all, once the plan for the lunar production base is approved, CNSA will definitely be in a favorable position in the future, and its importance and power will further increase. It will develop further, which is what Zhang Tianqin hopes to see.
It's just that at this level, as the director of CNSA, Zhang Tianqin doesn't have much right to speak, and the weight of speaking is even far inferior to that of Qin Yuanqing.
Seeing that during the discussion in the morning meeting, several departments strongly opposed the project, Zhang Tianqin realized that it was impossible to promote the lunar production base.
Zhang Tianqin can also understand, after all, the moon is a full 38 kilometers away from the earth, and the funds invested are as high as 10 trillion yuan. It is normal for all parties to have scruples.
"It's normal to have opinions, and I understand it." Qin Yuanqing said calmly. In his opinion, the lunar production base is a large-input, high-yield project, and the rate of return is extremely astonishing. Regardless of the economic return, Or the return of social influence is 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 very well, because sooner or later the future will prove that this project is correct.
Qin Yuanqing also looked back at himself, he was indeed a little anxious, and his steps were a little too big, so big that they exceeded everyone's imagination, and his thinking couldn't keep up.
Otherwise, during the discussion stage of the morning meeting, there will not be many people who are not optimistic and have opposing opinions.
As for financial opinions, Qin Yuanqing never paid attention to them. As he once said, finances are like a sponge, and there will always be crowds.
Now there is no such thing as Huaxia, where the debt ratio is almost 0. Look at how many countries in the world, the debt ratio is 100% instead of 100, and it is 80%.
Temporary financial pressure, the issuance of national debt is.
Even, project financing is also a very good solution. The market financing of this project, let alone 10 trillion yuan, is 20 trillion yuan. Qin Yuanqing believes that it can be financed.
"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 meeting 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 resolution, I would like to ask again, is the lunar production base feasible?" The dean looked at Qin Yuanqing and said solemnly.
"It is feasible, there is no problem at all." Qin Yuanqing nodded solemnly as if realizing something.
"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 can 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 a definite answer again.
"Then, I announce the results of the meeting resolution, agreeing to establish a lunar production base, and the name of the project is the 'Moon Base' plan!" said the dean, with a smile on his face.
At this time, there was warm applause in the conference room, and the "Moon Base" plan was approved with warm applause.
A touch of joy surged in Qin Yuanqing's heart. At this moment, he felt that everyone's applause was so powerful, so full of pride, and so full of hope.
He didn't expect that such a huge project would actually be approved after a one-day meeting.
"Academician Qin, I want to ask you, are you willing to be the commander-in-chief of the 'Moon Base' project and be in charge of the entire plan?" The dean looked at Qin Yuanqing: "To be honest, you are an expert in this field and the most authoritative , handing it over to others, we are not very relieved."
"This." Qin Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Leaders, now that the 'Shuanghuan Space Station' project has entered the construction stage and is facing various problems at any time, it is really powerless for me to be the general manager, unless Cut me in half."
When Qin Yuanqing said this, he smiled wryly.
The 'Double Ring Space Station' project has entered the construction stage, which means that the most important and challenging moment is coming. No matter how well the various models are demonstrated on the ground, no matter how well the supercomputer calculates, when it is actually operated in space, all kinds of unforeseen All the points considered or different from the calculation will be exposed. As the commander-in-chief of the "Shuanghuan Space Station" project, the most important thing for Qin Yuanqing is to escort the "Shuanghuan 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 a higher investment and a larger scale, the technical problems are actually not that big. Whether it is production lines, robots, automation, or intelligent production technologies, China has already mastered these, and many The factories are all in the application.
For example, in logistics, robots and automated selection are widely used, making China's logistics capacity equal to the sum of the logistics capabilities of other countries.
As for such things as steel plants, mining farms, helium 3 extraction, rare earth extraction technology, etc., China has actually mastered every technology, but it needs to use 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 Qin Yuanqing doesn't even need to solve them himself.
For example, cosmic ray irradiation enhanced refining technology, this advanced technology, in fact, has been mastered by Huaxia many times when it was in the "Tiangong" space station, and now it is only used on a large scale in the moon base.
There is also the technology needed to extract oxygen from the moon to supply people, which has been verified and mastered as early as when the first scientific research station was established.
There are actually only three things to build a lunar base. The first is to increase the construction of transport-type aerospace aircraft and produce more transport-type aerospace aircraft to meet the huge transportation requirements; the same is to increase the intensity of astronaut training 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 rest assured that you are the general advisor of the 'Moon Base' project. As for the commander-in-chief of the 'Moon Base' project, how about we discuss it some time?" General advisor to the Moonbase' program.
"General Counsel?" Qin Yuanqing pondered for a while, then looked at everyone, knowing that if he did not agree, they would probably be worried about this huge investment and large-scale project, and finally Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly: "Okay!"
Seeing that Qin Yuanqing agreed to come down, the meeting room burst into warm applause again, as if Qin Yuanqing agreed to serve as the general counsel, they had confidence.
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 stated that 10 trillion yuan will be invested to establish a production base on the moon, dedicated to scientific research. Research used and announced the key leadership team members of the 'Moon Base' program.
And in the first row, Qin Yuanqing is the general counselor, which is so conspicuous, which means that Qin Yuanqing's title has been added again, and it is quite important.
Although it has been repeatedly emphasized that the moon belongs to mankind, and any country has the right to develop the moon, but the huge funds of 10 trillion yuan, as well as the 'moon base' and the sci-fi model, were directly overwhelmed as soon as the news was announced. With all the news out of the way, even the controversy over the 'human cryopreservation technique' suddenly became insignificant.
