Chapter 701: Restarting the Moon Landing?!
"Congratulations!"
Putting aside the information in his hand and looking at Tian Lu with a calm face in front of him, Liu Tong said sincerely: "Although it is a little late, I still have to say that your achievements are very great!" β
"Thank you!"
Tian Lu smiled slightly and nodded.
A word of congratulations, a word of thanks, the words of the two are unusually simple, but Tian Lu himself knows how much he has paid to complete the first two steps in the past six years, and after seeing the report, Liu Tong also knows very well in his heart how much the future creature has paid in order to achieve this level!
After a slight pause, Liu Tong then laughed quietly: "Professor Tian, according to the blueprint you described to me at the beginning, after the results of this second stage come out, it should be the last step, right?" β
"Yes, only one last step away!"
A strange emotion rose in Tian Lu's heart, and he nodded and said, "However, this is also the most difficult step!" The previous only completed the accumulation of theoretical knowledge and initially established a fairly stable theoretical system, but in the next four years, what needs to be found is a way to realize this theoretical system! β
Without any reaction, Liu Tong listened quietly.
Tian Lu also continued to say calmly: "Generally speaking, this theoretical system is more based on my personal theoretical speculation, and it took more than six years to discover, or verify, only two of the key nodes!" Validating these two nodes proves that I can continue to do it. But in the end, whether it can succeed or not, or whether this theoretical system is correct or not, can only be verified through large-scale experiments! β
"How do you verify it?"
As soon as Tian Lu's voice fell, Liu Tong immediately asked.
Liu Tong's understanding of Tian Lu's scientific research project has always been limited to his role and significance, and he is not very clear about the specific research and development process, and Tian Lu has almost never mentioned it, so at this node, his curiosity is irrepressible!
After a long silence, Tian Lu sighed softly: "Chairman." You should remember more than a century ago. The history of the invention of the tungsten light bulb, right? β
"Of course!"
After being slightly stunned, Liu Tong immediately nodded.
"The mission of the third stage is to find my tungsten filament!"
Tian Lu smiled bitterly and sighed slightly: "Although through cooperation with other top scientific research institutions and enterprises in China over the years. We have carried out comprehensive cooperation in life sciences, biochemistry, engineering materials, computers and many other aspects. The results have really helped me a lot. I sifted through most of the range, but we were still left with a huge world! What we're going to do next. It's in this huge world to find that tungsten filamentγγγγγγ Or rather, the search for the tungsten filament that might be there! β
"Hoo γγγγγγ"
After hearing Tian Lu's words, Liu Tong finally couldn't help it and let out a heavy breath!
The reason why Tian Lu directly said that he would bear all the costs at the beginning, and now after the results of the second phase came out, Liu Tong still acquiesced to this idea, because of this, even Tian Lu did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to find the tungsten wire!
Theory is theory, reality is practice, theoretically feasible, and must have sufficient conditions.
This is a huge project, otherwise Tianlu would not have invested hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars every year to cooperate with other scientific research institutions, because it involves too many aspects!
However, no matter how well prepared Tian Lu is, as long as the tungsten wire cannot be found, the ultimate success of this plan is still a loft in the sky!
And......
"It's too expensive!"
Thinking of the information he had just seen, Liu Tongxin sighed silently.
The third phase of the research work is actually very simple, which is just a repeat of an experiment in the design of the field road. Through this extremely complex experiment, he wanted to find the tungsten filament.
However, this is probably the most cutting-edge experiment in the world, and the cost is just too high!
According to Tian Lu's plan, he will set up twenty experimental teams, consisting of one of his students, one scientific researcher, two experimental technicians who joined first and twenty experimental technicians who joined later, to conduct experiments respectively!
A full set of precision instruments and equipment with a total price of more than $600 million will be purchased in one go!
For this alone, Future Biotech has invested 12 billion US dollars in the past two years to squeeze out the last trace of production capacity of that German precision manufacturing company! And if you take into account the maintenance, repair and wear and tear of parts of the machine, you will have to increase the budget by at least 10%!
And what made Liu Tong even more amazed was that each group of experiments cost a number of astronomy!
Even if all the personnel are proficient, a group of experiments will take up to 20 days, and in addition to the full input of more than 20 people in each group, it will also require the operation of the fourth supercomputer that Tian Lu newly customized last year at full load, which is an extremely huge overhead!
In addition, it is those laboratory animals and consumables that are more expensive than gold!
Liu Tong already knew in advance that in order to be able to prepare the experimental animals needed for his experiments in large quantities, Tian Lu invested four billion yuan in the laboratory animal center six years ago, expanded the sterile-grade laboratory on a large scale, and began to comprehensively cultivate several special experimental animals for today four years ago. Almost every one of these experimental animals provided to the twenty groups has set a new sky-high price for domestic experimental animals!
There are also those experimental consumables that can be manufactured in China, but there are still one-third that need to be imported, all of which are extremely small in output and extremely expensive in unit price, which makes Liu Tong feel frightened when he sees it, but Tian Lu did not hesitate to place an order directly with the manufacturer and purchased enough consumables for 500 groups of experiments in advance!
That's a total need for two years!
Even if you don't count the investment in equipment and equipment, you can count the cost of personnel. The use of experimental animals and consumables, if all combined, the consumption of twenty groups of centaurs has exceeded 800 million Chinese dollars per month!
If you add the investment in the purchase of equipment and the investment in continuing to cooperate with other institutions in the future, if Tianlu can hold out for four years, the total expenditure will exceed 200 billion Chinese dollars, or even close to 300 billion Chinese dollars!
Such a huge wealth is Tian Lu's personal assets!
"Professor Tian, is there anything you need my help with? For example...... Funding or something? β
At this moment. Liu Tong finally couldn't help but ask softly.
"The funds are not needed."
Smile slightly. Tian Lu said calmly: "Although the annual expenses of Future Biotech itself are also very large, Kyoto Medicine is on the right track and can provide some funds, otherwise. Two or three more years of work. The shares of Happy Bio and Lantian Company can all be taken off. The funds recovered in the past few years have been saved by our department, which should be enough! β
Ye Lan will sell a certain percentage of the shares of the two companies every year, and plans to clear all of them around 2038. In that case, the two companies will bring in a total of more than 400 billion Chinese dollars in cash, and now they are all lying on the books!
Merely.......
"However, there is another matter, I am afraid that I will have to ask you for help, and this is the main purpose of my visit to you today."
After a slight hesitation, Tian Lu took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"What's the matter? Professor Tian, please speak. β
Liu Tong immediately nodded and replied solemnly.
Up to now, Liu Tong's impression of Tian Lu's plan is no longer just science fiction, and the success of the first two stages has made him look forward to the results of the third phase! Although it is still impossible to invest a huge amount of money to help Tianlu, if he can help, he will definitely not be stingy with the power in his hands!
"This is γγγγγγ words"
Facing Liu Tong's inquiry, Tian Lu hesitated for a long time for the first time today.
"Huh?"
Seeing Tian Lu's current performance, Liu Tong was a little anxious, and at the same time, his brows were deeply wrinkled.
In the whole of China, as long as it is a top scientific research institution or high-tech enterprise related to his plan, almost all of them have been greeted by Liu Tong, as long as it is what Tian Lu needs, even if it is the core technology of scientific research institutions or enterprises, it must be given enough support and help!
Of course, the cost is provided by Future Biotech, and what they get is only the final product.
In this regard, Tian Lu has never been polite to Liu Tong, but today, he will hesitate.
What exactly is the request he wants to make?
After waiting for a few seconds, Liu Tong still spoke again: "Professor Tian, don't have any worries, if you have any requirements, just say it, I think, as long as I can do it, there should be no problem!" β
Thinking of the funds invested by Tian Lu, Liu Tong quickly made up his mind!
"Okay!"
Without any hesitation this time, Tian Lu immediately shook his hands and said in a deep voice word by word: "I hope to γγγγγγ The country can restart the moon landing! β
"What?!"
After a huge shock in his heart, Liu Tong stood up!
Restart the moon landing?!
Since the first moon landing more than ten years ago, there has been a period of **, in the twenties of the decade, four times before and after the eleven astronauts landed on the moon, greatly improved China's international status and the people's self-confidence, but after entering the thirties, the moon landing project gradually stopped.
Without him, the cost is too high!
At present, all countries, including China, are not very perfect in spacecraft technology, and each moon landing costs tens of billions of dollars, so after successfully landing on the moon four times, Huaguo, which has achieved its phased goal, has naturally slowed down.
According to the unanimous view of scientists from all over the world, in another ten or twenty years, there will be enough major breakthroughs in the fields of fuel, engineering, materials, etc., which can greatly reduce the cost of landing on the moon, and at that time, perhaps the time to develop the moon is really not far awayγγγγγγ
It's just that today's Tian Lu actually asked Liu Tong to start the moon landing project that has been prepared for the accumulation period again, what does he want to do?
Suddenly, a thought popped up in Liu Tong's mind, and he suddenly asked, "Professor Tian, are youγγγγγγ Could it be that you can't do experiments on the moon? β
"Of course not!"
Tian Lu immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that at the beginning of this year, I saw an article in Science, which said that European scientists discovered a very strange substance when they were studying the ore specimens brought back from the moon by the European Space Agencyγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
