Chapter 724: A Mission Given by the Times

Throughout the fifties of the twenty-first century, the whole world was unusually quiet!

The United States, a superpower that wielded a big stick and taught children lessons on all continents, seems to be a little tired, and has put away its sharp minions, and although its annual defense budget has not been drastically reduced, it has almost never increased in the forties and fifties.

Coincidentally, China, a country that is already on an equal footing with the United States in some respects, has lost the momentum to become a real superpower, and has started to cultivate its glory again.

It's just that the calm of the two superpowers has made other countries very uneasy!

In the two decades of the forties and fifties, all countries have seen that the two superpowers really put all their minds on their own domestic affairs. In particular, the two huge scientific research projects that were tightly covered with a tight cover, the annual scientific research budget continued to increase, and finally reached a peak in the second few years of the fifties!

According to the information of intelligence agencies of various countries, the Americans will spend nearly 400 billion US dollars in 2055 for this big project alone, and China will be as high as 3 trillion Chinese dollars!

That's a staggering number!

You must know that in 2055, even if the GDP of the United States is close to 50 trillion US dollars, and China's is close to 600 trillion Chinese dollars, such a huge expenditure is a huge burden on any country!

The pace of development in both countries has even been slowed down by this.

But......

At the end of 2055, when the U.S. Congress finally passed the 2056 and 2057 budgets. When it was announced that it would invest $1 trillion in the state's top secret scientific research project in two years, the whole world was shocked!

"The Americans are almost successful!"

After confirming this news, almost all the intelligence agencies in the world with some energy quickly came to such a conclusion! Because for such a huge project, a sudden increase in investment, and such a proportional increase, then there is only one possibility, that is, the Americans' research work has finally successfully passed an important juncture, otherwise they could not have acted so recklessly!

With an increase of more than $200 billion in two years, how many experiments can be done。。。。。。

"The Americans are almost successful!"

After receiving the final analysis report from the national intelligence organs, Chen Cheng, the current supreme leader of the state, immediately met with Tian Lu, the head of the national scientific research project, who had secretly arrived in the country. Said worriedly: "According to intelligence analysis. It is very likely that the other side will come to the final end by the end of the fifties! Professor Tian, our engineering plan 。。。。。。 ”

"We can't be that fast!"

Compared with Chen Cheng's worries, Tian Lu, whose sideburns had begun to appear white, was still very calm, shook his head and said, "According to my estimates." We will also have success around 2062 at the earliest. If only it were a little slower. It is estimated that it will be 2063! The existing conditions are simply not enough to support such a huge scientific research project, and this is already the result of all the smooth results!"

"You mean, we didn't invest enough?"

My heart trembled. Chen Cheng immediately asked urgently.

If Liu Tong and others supported Tianlu's project because its prospects were too attractive, and at the same time, Tianlu himself invested a huge amount of money, then at the end of 2055, with the completion of the third phase of scientific research plans, Chen Cheng and other national leaders have clearly seen the hope of the success of the project!

As long as you understand the significance of the final result, no one dares to relax their investment in this project!

It's just that Huaguo's investment is already very large!

You must know that the huge investment of 3 trillion yuan is already equivalent to one-fifth of the total national investment in science and technology this year!

"Yes, it's not enough!"

Nodding, Tian Lu said with a wry smile: "I personally lead the experiments in the field of neuroscience, and the progress is the fastest, but in other fields, the progress is really not able to keep up。。。。。。! There's just nothing they can do!"

After hearing Tian Lu's words, Chen Cheng was suddenly silent.

The 21 st century has entered the late 50s, relying on the huge economic aggregate and the superiority of human resources, China has stood in the world's first group in many fields, even compared with the United States, it is not too far behind, but there has always been a gap in many scientific fields where the United States has traditionally been strong.

The gaps may be big or small, but in any case, these gaps will take time to catch up, and in addition to time, the more important thing is money!

The best way to speed up any study is to invest more!

Increase the number of scientific researchers, increase the scientific research equipment!

If the 100 tests originally carried out in a year are completed in half a year, it is conceivable that the number of personnel and equipment required will inevitably increase!

This is the inevitable law of scientific research!

"You don't have to worry too much. ”

Tian Lu sighed secretly in his heart, but comforted him: "As I have explained to you before, the research plan of the Americans is based on the analysis of my data, I don't know how many of their own creations their scientists will have, but please believe me, we are the strongest in this field! And the two are fundamentally different, even if our scientific research project ends two or three years later, but in terms of final achievements, we will definitely surpass them!"

"I understand that!"

Chen Cheng's brows were still tightly locked, but he still muttered in a low voice: "But the problem is that in more than ten years, the total investment has exceeded 30 trillion Chinese dollars。。。。。。 ”

"This 。。。。。。 ”

Although his voice was very low, Tian Lu could still hear it clearly, but he could only be silent about Chen Cheng's worries.

The huge investment of two or three trillion yuan a year will inevitably reduce the country's investment in other aspects, especially the improvement of people's livelihood. It's okay after a short time, but after a long time, there are now many complaints in China and the United States. It's just that because of the current confrontation between the two countries, the people have gritted their teeth and chose to continue to support!

However, if after paying so much, it still falls behind its opponents, then it will be really difficult for the government to give an account! At least in the two or three years before its success, it is conceivable that it will definitely be drowned out by the spitting stars of the people of the whole country。。。。。。。

"Professor Tian, what if。。。。。。 ”

After being silent for a long time, Chen Cheng suddenly raised his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes: "I mean, if we can increase the investment on a large scale, how far do you estimate our completion time to advance?"

"How much?"

The conditioned reflex was general, Tian Lu immediately asked.

"Fifty percent more!"

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Chen Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Thirty percent?"

After hearing this number, even Tian Lu couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes suddenly widened!

For ordinary scientific research, an increase of 3 percent in the plan is naturally nothing, but for this plan under his leadership, an increase of 50 percent means an increase of 1 trillion Chinese dollars per year!

That's a trillion!

According to China's current population of 1.5 billion and per capita net income of 200,000 Chinese dollars, it means that everyone in the country has to contribute an extra 1,000 yuan every year, or 10 million people have to contribute all their income!

"This 。。。。。。 ”

After quickly calculating this account in his heart, Tian Lu's breathing suddenly became short!

After thinking about it for a long time, Tian Lu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If we increase the input by 50 percent, our research progress will be advanced by at least one year! Please pay attention, I am talking about at least! If it is used properly, it can even be advanced by one and a half years!"

"What if it's a fifty percent?"

Staring at Tian Lu's eyes tightly, Chen Cheng asked with a trembling voice.

"Up to two years in advance!"

This time, Tian Lu did not hesitate, immediately nodded, and said solemnly: "If it is increased by 50 percent, I dare not guarantee that it will definitely catch up with the Americans, but I dare to guarantee that even if it is later than them, it will definitely not be too late!"

"Two years. ”

Lowering his head, muttering these two words, Chen Cheng's fists clenched tightly where Tian Lu couldn't see。。。。。。。

。。。。。。

At the beginning of 2056, at the National Congress of China, the bill on the implementation of last year's budget and the current year's budget was deliberated and approved!

Because of the sudden increase in investment in scientific research by the United States, the eyes of the whole world are firmly focused on China's budget, and what did not disappoint many media is that at this meeting, the Chinese government submitted a four-year-long proposal for a special national appropriation with a total amount of 20 trillion Chinese dollars!

As soon as the proposal came out, the world was shocked!

When explaining this proposal, the current Prime Minister Ma Yunlin did not explain in detail the specific destination of the 20 trillion appropriation, and as in previous years, it was replaced by a state secret scientific research project!

Merely......

20 trillion yuan in four years, 5 trillion yuan a year! On average, this figure will increase by nearly 70 percent compared with 2055!

Many delegates in the audience were suddenly a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but Ma Yunlin's next words made many delegates who were originally questioning because of the sudden increase in investment immediately change their minds!

"We have to invest more than our competitors!"

The Prime Minister's voice reverberated in the grand conference hall: "This is the most important scientific research project in the history of our country, and we must catch up with our opponents, or at least ensure that we are not left behind by them, because this is the mission entrusted by this era。。。。。。 (To be continued.) )
