Chapter 344: Striving for the Great Cause of Mankind
Three days later, Li Zetian arrived at the headquarters of the Space Exploration Company.
Under the leadership of the company's CEO, Li Zetian and the company's senior leaders met, and then visited the entire company to understand the company's current situation in more detail.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, all the senior managers of the company came to the conference room to listen to Li Zetian's guidance.
Li Zetian swept his eyes, his eyes were bright, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I visited the company today, well, it seems that the space exploration company has begun to get on the right track." And the staff of the company are also very enthusiastic about their work, which is very good! Before I came, I had already looked at the information of Space Exploration in detail. โ
Li Zetian paused and said in a deep voice: "Space Exploration Company is a company, not NASA, and can get government funding. If the company is a company, it has to make money! Although the company cannot make money in the short term, I need to inject capital into the company for a long time, but this is not a long-term solution! I also learned about the current market industry, and although the profits in military aircraft manufacturing are considerable, as a private company, it is not so easy for us to get orders from the government. However, we can compete in the civil aircraft market, and the civil aircraft market is more profitable than the military aircraft market!!"
Li Zetian said, and suddenly thought of Boeing, most of Boeing's profits come from the civil aircraft market, which is much richer than Lockheed Martin at the same level!
"Therefore, the company will focus on the research and development of civil aircraft in the future!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "I am very much looking forward to being able to travel around the world on my own plane!"
When everyone heard this, they all smiled and nodded yes.
โMrยท Li, SpaceX will definitely develop the best aircraft to compete with the Boeing 747!"
"That's right, defeat Boeing, defeat Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas ......"
Li Zetian nodded with a smile and said: "Boeing 747 is the world's largest passenger aircraft, so we will develop a 'sky giant' aircraft and surpass it !!."
At this moment, Li Zetian no longer expects the European Airbus A380, but decides to develop it himself, if he can crush Boeing and European Airbus, it will be interesting.
Everyone present knew that Li Zetian was rich and wealthy, and he did not hesitate to spend money for research and development.
Money is enough!
Expensive materials, equipment and other materials are enough!
Talent management is enough!
Those from the former Soviet Union were shocked when they joined SpaceX. Many people said that if the Soviet Union could provide them with such good conditions, they did not know how many years more advanced aerospace technology would be than it is now......
Many people believe that with the support of huge financial resources, the future of Space Exploration is full of brightness, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses Boeing, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Airbus and other companies.
Scientists have a crazy obsession and pursuit of technology. At this moment, Li Zetian said that he wanted to develop a "giant in the air", and everyone was full of confidence, and at the same time, they were excited!
Li Zetian said with a smile: "Hehe, seeing that everyone is so confident, I am relieved." In addition, it is worth mentioning that the development plan of the rocket is well known, and after the rocket is launched, it is useless, because it cannot be returned, cannot be recycled, and becomes space junk. If the rocket developed by SpaceX can return to land for a second or third launch, it will not only be environmentally friendly, but also greatly reduce the cost of rocket launch. โ
As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone was surprised. Apparently, they did not think about rocket recovery. The inertia of people's thinking is that rockets are all launched at one time. If you want to launch satellites multiple times, you can use a manned, reusable spacecraft that travels between space and the ground, known as the Space Shuttle.
However, Li Zetian came from his previous life and knew that space funding was not cheap, and he generally used rockets to launch satellites, which was more cost-effective. One of the most famous is SpaceX.
The U.S. initially budgeted $43 billion for the Space Shuttle program, with an estimated cost of $54 million per launch, but the plan was well over budget due to the complexity of the shuttle system (more than 2.5 million parts of the fuselage) and the large amount of manpower and material resources required for technical and system maintenance. As of 2011, the space shuttle program cost a total of $196 billion, of which each shuttle cost about $12 billion, so the average cost of a single launch is about $450 million (nearly 10 times more than the budget).
Li Zetian didn't dare to jump into this huge pit.
Before the technology was reached, it was much more cost-effective to develop rockets.
Li Zetian is only in his thirties now, in fact, he is still very young, and there is still a lot of time in the future, he can't help but fantasize about the life of human beings after they go out of the earth, such as planet mining, space tourism, etc., he has lived a lifetime, and he has traveled over, if he has never left the earth, how boring it is.
When human beings look up at birds, they yearn for themselves to fly, and when they look up at the starry sky, they naturally yearn for being able to travel through the starry sky.
Li Zetian thinks that he is rich and rivals the country, and with his full support, mankind's aerospace industry will inevitably develop rapidly. NASA spends only a few billion dollars a year. SpaceX can crush it to slag.
In Li Zetian's heartfelt words: "Lao Tzu wants to go to the moon to dig the ball and settle on Mars, and the sea of stars is Lao Tzu's goal!"
Of course, dreams are difficult to achieve, and the level of technology is not achieved overnight. However, Li Zetian has money, and the development of education, the gathering of talents, and the provision of high-tech research and development equipment will certainly be able to speed up the development of science and technology and bring about rapid changes.
Over the years, Li Zetian has deeply realized the importance of money, especially the words of the Morgan family, "It is not the law that is used to promote history, but money, and it is just money !!"
Under the influence of money, Moore's Law was broken.
The overall level of global science and technology seems to be four or five years more developed than in the previous life, and some fields, such as biotechnology in which Li Zetian invested heavily in biotechnology, have definitely reached the level after 2000, which is actually a change made by Li Zetian with limited funds. Now, with his abundant financial resources, he can change the world to a greater extent!! and the Internet era has risen, and the dissemination of information is conducive to the development of science and technology. At the same time, Li Zetian will also seek more huge benefits and influence from it, and then use it to promote the rapid development of science and technology!
All in all, Li Zetian already has the ability to leverage earth technology!
In the conference room of the Space Exploration Company, Li Zetian talked eloquently, scolded Fang Xuan, pointed out the country, and told all the advanced insights and visions of his previous life.
"Everyone, I don't care how much money is spent, I only care about whether the speed of scientific and technological development is fast, let us work together for the great aerospace cause of mankind!!" Li Zetian said loudly and passionately.
