Six hundred and forty-three, the Ark Project and the Pangu

"There are actually nuclear-powered icebreakers, and I thought that only aircraft carriers and cruisers were nuclear-powered! Tang Ming smiled, "Mr. Jace, I understand what you mean, if you can't use nuclear power, it's better not to build too big an icebreaker, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Tang. Edwin Jace nodded.

"Then how big do you suggest I build an icebreaker?" Tang Ming asked.

"One hundred and twenty or thirty meters, any longer it may affect the performance of the icebreaker. Edwin Jace said.

"Such a small icebreaker, then I might as well buy one directly, there should be finished products for sale in the world, right?" Tang Ming said.

"No, unless you buy an old second-hand ship, because only a few countries in the world have professional icebreakers, but this tonnage icebreaker has already designed drawings, and there is no need for special design, just place an order directly with a shipyard that is capable of manufacturing. Edwin Jace said.

Tang Ming was a little confused when he heard this, Edwin Jess is a ship designer, it stands to reason that he should try his best to sell his design, rather than pushing out a big customer, and the most important point is that since he has decided not to accept this design, then, what is he doing all the way from Europe?

"Mr. Tang, actually, I'm not here for the icebreaker this time. Edwin Jace said.

"Then what is your purpose?" Tang Ming asked.

"My purpose is this, Mr. Tang can take a look. Edwin Jace took out a drawing from his bag and put it in front of Tang Ming.

There is a completely enclosed ship painted on it, which is different in shape from ordinary boats, but it does not look like a submarine, and it looks very sci-fi.

Tang Ming looked at this ship and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was, and he could only look at Edwin Jace with a puzzled look.

"Is this the Ark?the Ark from the 2012 movie?" asked Cornelia in surprise next to her.

"It turned out to be the ark from that movie! I said how it felt so familiar. Tang Ming glanced at the drawings again, suddenly realized, looked at Edwin Jace again, and asked, "Mr. Jace, what do you mean by showing me this?"

"Mr. Tang, I want to build the Ark, and in this world, I think only Mr. Tang can invest in my Ark project regardless of cost and profit. Edwin Jace said sincerely.

"Mr. Jace, you're not kidding, as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be any technology in the world that can build this ark, right?" Tang Ming looked at Edwin Jace amusedly, not knowing if he had heard it wrong, or if he was crazy enough to have such a crazy idea.

"As long as the world's most advanced technology is integrated, there is no problem in building it, but no one will build it, because the input and output are not proportional, and the world's richest man cannot spend so many dollars to build a private ark that cannot return to its roots. Edwin Jace said.

"So, you found me. Tang Ming said with a smile.

"Yes, in my opinion, Mr. Tang is a very special rich man and has enough financial resources to support this project. Edwin Jess complimented.

"Mr. Jace, have you looked for other rich people?" Tang Ming asked.

"I looked for it, but I was rejected. Edwin Jace shrugged.

Tang Ming smiled noncommittally, and then asked, "How much do you think it will cost if it is really made?"

"Look at the size and tonnage, if it is smaller, it only needs a few hundred million dollars, and the large one may reach billions or even tens of billions of dollars, and it makes no sense to be small, because the R&D cost will be very high, if it is too small, the R&D cost may exceed the construction price, after all, this kind of ark will not be built more, and there is no way to share the cost with quantity. Edwin Jace said.

"I don't think tens of billions of dollars can completely replicate the ark in the movie, right?" asked Tang Ming.

"Yes, the ark in the movie is very large, with a length of several kilometers, a displacement of tens of millions of tons, and tens of billions of dollars really can't be built, and there is no one in the world who can come up with so much money, and it takes the cooperation of powerful countries such as the United States and China to build it. Edwin Jace said.

Tang Ming knocked on the table, pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Jace, although your idea is a bit whimsical and unrealistic, I am very interested. ”

"Mr. Tang, are you planning to invest?" asked Edwin Jess excitedly.

"Yes. Tang Ming nodded and said, "However, Mr. Jace, you still need to give you a specific plan, such as the construction drawings, what technology needs to be used, the construction price, and so on." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and sort it out and hand it over to Mr. Tang as soon as possible. Edwin Jace couldn't contain the excitement in his heart and said.

"Okay, I'll wait. Tang Ming said.

"Do you have any other requests, Mr. Tang?" asked Edwin Jace.

"My request is very simple, of course it is to build a large enough ark, too small is boring, don't think about the cost, by the way, I don't like the name of the ark, the ship's name is tentatively Pangu. Tang Ming said.

"Okay. Edwin Jace agreed.

……

Tang Ming and Cornelia sent Song Qian and Edwin Jace to the tarmac, and watched Zhijiu leave, before Cornelia asked, "Honey, are you really going to build an ark?"

"Of course, haven't I already talked to Edwen?" Tang Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, but why do I feel so crazy about this plan?" said Cornelia.

"I feel a little bit of it, but when it's done, you won't feel that way. Tang Ming said, "Wife, I'm going to ride a horse, are you going?"

"Hmm. Cornelia nodded.

They held hands and came to the stable, Tang Ming took out the chestnuts, and Cornelia took out Angela, got on the horse, and wandered around the ranch side by side.

"Come on, Hans, come on, you must win, I bet a hundred dollars on you. ”

"Chen, I'm optimistic about you, come on. ”

"Fack, Antonio, come on. ”

“……”

As I walked around the Angolo Mountains to the man-made lake, I suddenly saw a lot of cowboys gathered here to cheer on a few cowboys who were racing.

"Let's go over and have a look. Tang Ming pulled the reins and let the chestnut go that way, and Cornelia also controlled Angela and followed Tang Ming over.

Mike, who was also here to watch the horse race, saw them coming, rode up to meet them, and asked, "Boss, ma'am, are you also here to see the horse race?"

"We came here by accident. Tang Ming said.

When the cowboys saw them coming, they greeted them, and they responded one by one and told everyone not to pay attention to the horse races.
