Chapter 326: Everyone is engaged in aerospace technology

If there is no superlord faith, Xu Teng will definitely be confused, where to invest so much money? Now, everything has become very simple, money is not important, what is important is the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Teng wants to create a different future, a dazzling new world.

To this end, he has invested more funds in four projects: quantum computers, artificial intelligence, robotics, and the lunar ecological maintenance system.

The Fukushima nuclear power plant crisis in 2008 dealt a heavy blow to the global nuclear energy industry, and the central government was forced to suspend a number of nuclear power construction plans and approve more hydropower plant plans.

However, current second- and third-generation nuclear power technologies are not sustainable.

During his stay in the United States, Xu Teng and Bill Gates met twice to discuss fourth-generation nuclear power technology, and both sides had a strong interest in traveling wave reactor technology, which can be fueled by uranium-238 nuclear waste.

In this field, Bill Gates has established a Terra Energy company in 2006 to focus on traveling wave reactor technology and invested $400 million as start-up capital.

The two sides are interested in more cooperation, but before Xu Teng returned to China, the two sides had not reached an effective agreement on the issue of shares and investment ratios.

After returning to China, Xu Teng was preparing to invest alone, and Bill Gates personally arrived in Shanghai for a visit, and the two sides renegotiated, and finally decided to open accounts in 55 and cooperate to establish a new Asia-Pacific new energy fund company, jointly inject 1 billion US dollars, promote the feasibility of the wave reactor technology study, and build an experimental reactor type in China and the United States.

The two held a simple press conference again in the press hall of Huzhou Huayin International Building to announce the decision.

Even if all goes well, it may take 40 years for their investment to mature and enter commercial operations, so Bill Gates laughs that he may not see the day when it finally matures, but fortunately, Xu Teng is much younger than him and can continue to be in charge of this matter.

"It's not a business, we're going to have to do something to prove that we're worthy to exist on this planet. Xu Teng faced the reporter, the way he answered was a little sad, strictly speaking, he is not a radical environmentalist, but a closer look at the planet, human beings do more harm than good.

Recently, on the one hand, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has further expanded into a global economic crisis, and on the other hand, Huateng has continued to expand its investment in quantum computers, artificial intelligence, robotics, lunar ecological maintenance systems and other fields.

Finally, some people began to worry that Huateng Company would control the future world and create a large number of robots to replace humans, just like "Terminator".

The fact is that Huateng has finally launched the first mechanical dog that can move on its own, nicknamed "Police Dog No. 1", which can go up and down stairs, take the elevator by itself, and can identify non-Huateng employees of the Science and Technology Exploration Bureau.

In fact, Huateng's science and technology research center has 7,000 employees, the vast majority of whom have doctoral and master's degrees, and 10% of the employees are from overseas, with a total of seven bureaus.

The Bureau of Science and Technology Exploration is the largest of these and specializes in these futuristic technologies, and is currently working to combine machines and artificial intelligence to form more interesting robots.

Xu Teng has a new artificial intelligence in his office that has begun to assist him and his team, which has a professional supercomputing computer system as a platform, and is ranked among the world's top 500 supercomputers.

This is just an experimental project.

If all goes well, the artificial intelligence, nicknamed "Dr. Lu," will eventually replace hundreds of employees, with information processing capabilities that can take voice commands, run software on its own, and verify data.

At present, it only cooperates with Xu Teng, Yu Suyun and Han Dai.

Xu Teng will continue to expand its authority according to the progress of the experiment, and perhaps in a few years, it will be able to serve most of the employees of Huateng Company and become a bridge between Xu Teng and these employees.

Although "Dr. Lu" is still in a basic state, after six years of development, it can help Xu Teng a lot from the beginning of its birth, a bit similar to Iron Man's intelligent butler Jarvis.

It has a very complete accounting and statistics template function, which can independently complete the work that hundreds of accountants can only complete in a month, and can also access a large number of databases through the network, and is connected in parallel with the server of Tiantian Encyclopedia.

It can analyze all the web data, screen the core words, count Xu Teng's popularity and popularity, and remind Xu Teng of the latest news trends.

Of course, for the time being, Dr. Lu is still a bit clumsy and often answers questions that are not asked.

The engineers at the Dragon Slayer Lab and the Bureau of Science and Technology Exploration are still refining its code every day, and a new and more complete version is expected to be released by the end of the year.

In the future, Xu Teng plans to launch a more professional butler model of artificial intelligence, which is the core of Tencent Group's next-generation products, which can provide smart services to families across the country, analyzing simple disease conditions through pictures taken by mobile phones.

There are actually two things that are very important here, the first is the recognition ability of voice commands, and the second is the module progress of artificial intelligence.

Through cooperation with the National Supercomputing Center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Institute of Computer Science, Huateng has two supercomputing centers in Huzhou and Jiangzhou at the same time, and the supercomputing center in Huzhou is one of the five major supercomputing centers at the national level.

Based on Dr. Lu, Huateng is launching a new artificial intelligence "Black Cat Sheriff", which is a project in cooperation with the Ministry of State Security, and is funded by the 863 Program, which is specialized in cyber counter-terrorism and information collection, and will have the ability to search for sensitive words on the Internet at home and abroad.

Of course, it can also take the initiative to discover **** and resources, and even take action at the first time...... This is definitely bad news for most of the male compatriots.

In fact, these things are not profitable, Xu Teng just continues to invest capital, so that these technologies develop at a speed beyond the predictions of ordinary people and the industry, and continue to become more mature.

Computers will change the human world, but the magnitude of this change is only the beginning of the stage in 2008, and there are still countless potentials and spaces waiting for Huateng to explore.

The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake exposed a problem that China lacked its own satellite phone company.

Soon after, Xu Teng went to the United States, and it was not until he returned to China that he heard through some channels that a research institute of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group hoped to cooperate with Huateng Company to establish a satellite telephone company for joint research and development, and Huateng Company was fully responsible for its operation.

This is also the best choice for the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, because the scale of investment in this satellite phone company is huge, and it is impossible to only face the domestic market.

During this time, dealing with the affairs of Wanbo Group and Boan Group, Xu Tengcai freed up his energy and talked with a vice president of the research institute for several hours, and the way of cooperation was very simple, the Aerospace Science and Technology Group was responsible for the development and launch of the satellite, and the Huateng Company was responsible for the operation and promotion, and the two sides jointly developed China's satellite telephone.

In view of the two bankruptcies and restartings of Iridium's company, Xu Teng is actually very clear in his heart that the largest customer base of this Tiantong company is the military, as well as the military of other countries, such as Pakistan and Angola...... and Santania, which has a reputation as the African Liberation Army.

Soon there will be a new customer, Syria.

In fact, Russia has not had a systematic satellite phone, and even the mainland has been difficult to guarantee satellite communications over the years, and if Russia cannot provide it, Syria can only have China's satellite phone service.

In a state of war, ground communication facilities will basically be disabled, not to mention Africa, which has not many communication facilities in the first place, which provides a good stage for satellite phones.

The problem is that the size of these markets is very small, and together they cannot recover the investment of at least tens of billions of RMB.

The state will subsidize it, and the military will give it a fixed contract, but it's still a drop in the bucket.

Hangke Group thought about it, and could only find Huateng Company to cooperate.

The meaning of the two sides is to divide into two, the military business is solely responsible for the aviation technology group, and the domestic and foreign civilian business is all under the responsibility of Huateng Satellite Technology Company.

Huateng Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. is a direct subsidiary of Huateng Company, mainly for Tencent Group, providing satellite technology and data services, this company is still basically unknown, because of the talent factor, this company is actually located in Israel, there is only one empty shell in the country.

To be precise, at the beginning of 2007, Xu Teng quietly acquired Israel's SCC company, and through the acquisition, he obtained satellite R&D and operation technology overnight.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden from the military and the government, because Xu Teng can act in a low-key manner, and the acquisition of overseas registered subsidiaries still has to be submitted to the Ministry of Commerce for approval after all.

Huateng's overseas image has always been very good, and the military will not add unnecessary trouble to Huateng company, so it provides a compromise plan to divide the operation into two and return the civilian to Huateng company.

It's just talking.

The two sides must work in the same place for a long time and cooperate in maintenance, otherwise, you don't know what I just did to the satellite.

What the army wants to do, I will definitely not tell Huateng Company, but I must tell Huateng Company, which channel I just used, adjusted something, you pay attention.

The key to this matter is that the cost is too high to rely on the military alone, and the civilian promotion needs to be represented by the SCC company under Huateng Company, and purely by the agency of the Hangke Group.

This incident made Xu Teng a little embarrassed.

The country is so big, the South China Sea is so wide, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean are so far away, you really need domestic satellite phones, but 50% of the customers of this thing are the military.

If there is a shortage of funds on the army's side and the Xu family needs to donate billions, it is a small problem, and it can be dealt with in a low-key manner, but now it is different from the past, and the army is not short of funds, mainly because the country is strong and has more ideas.

Originally, the plan was to register several companies overseas by Hangke Group, layer by layer of protective colors, and then to acquire SCC company, but I didn't expect Huateng Company to start so quickly, and Huateng Company's reputation covers the world, and it was easy to win as soon as it was made, and there was no need for the diplomatic department to do work and say hello.

To be honest, if you really have to say hello, it will be difficult to acquire.

Huateng Company is not an outsider, the aircraft carrier can be brought back, the Huayin Consortium has made great efforts to develop electric bombs and ship integrated power systems, and the Huayin Consortium has also contributed a lot of funds, otherwise there would not have been such a rapid progress.

Since you are not an outsider, let's cooperate and make money together...... Of course, making money is definitely not to be counted on, this is the task of the state.

This is the standard configuration of a great power, a superpower.

The United States is responsible for private companies, so we also use private companies to be responsible, specifically to grab the American market, our goods are cheap, the price of cabbage, the vice president of the Hangke Group told the truth, the domestic satellite phone is expected to be 10,000 yuan.

Isn't this just two Apple 5S, it's too easy to popularize, and it's really the price of cabbage.

Disagrees with it, which is a matter of Xu Teng's words.

The state has absolute trust in you, no problem.

Dizzy.

Xu Teng told the truth, he is not at ease with the country, 150 million US dollars a satellite, at least 30, even if it can be integrated with the data communication satellite of SCC Satellite Company, not only a satellite phone communication company, can transmit more complex data, plus the launch funds, how can it also require a total investment of 5 billion US dollars.

The state really trusts me too much.

Xu Teng was a little dizzy.

The vice president of the 5th Academy sent by the Aviation Science Group is surnamed Cheng, Vice President Cheng, this person, at first glance, is not an academician who does scientific research work, and the academy is responsible for administration and business full-time, but it should also be a principal and associate researcher.

In Xu Teng's office, Xu Teng and Dean Cheng were drinking tea, their thoughts were a little messy, although he had money, he couldn't lose money like this.

Even if Hangke Group applies for about 10 billion funds, the remaining 30 billion still has to rely on Xu Teng to come up, even if it is really half of the side in the end, the state takes 20 billion, and Huateng Company takes 20 billion, and this rate of return is almost zero.

But this is the standard configuration of the superpower, and it must be done, and the very important SCC satellite company is in Xu Teng's hands, and it can't be hidden.

Dean Cheng is very leisurely, visiting around Xu Teng's office, and is very interested in Xu Teng's aerial bamboo sea, on the top of this 300-meter-high skyscraper, there is such an office of more than 1,000 square meters, which is really beyond the imagination limit of ordinary people.

This office is very similar to the luxurious office of US President Mr. Clinton on the top of the Clinton Library, except that one is four floors and the other is 66 floors.

The area is basically the same, all of them are color-changing glass wall curtains, which automatically adjust the light transmittance of the glass according to the time and light sense, and are pasted with power generation films and batteries to supply power by themselves.

Although it is a glass wall curtain, the sound insulation effect is absolutely first-class, because there is an aerial helipad nearby, and Xu Teng's special helicopter is also parked thirty meters away.

"High-tech, this is the crystallization of high-tech!" Dean Cheng doesn't care, anyway, it's the country's money, their institute is only responsible for technical standards, and they are smiling everywhere to observe.

Xu Teng put down the teacup and thought for a moment, "Dr. Lu, you can help me check the current situation of Iridium." ”

"Okay, analyzing...... In May 1996, the Iridium Company was approved by the US Federal Communications Commission to officially launch the Iridium program, raised $2 billion in capital, launched 60 communications satellites, and declared bankruptcy in April 2000! At present, the Iridium Company was acquired and restarted by the American businessman Crushey, and is promoting the launch of a new generation of Iridium. ”

"What information?" Dean Cheng was surprised, looked around, but didn't find "Dr. Lu", and finally looked at the Huateng computer on Xu Teng's desk, "You are working on a computer program, right?"

"Unable to recognize new voice commands, refusing service, do you ignore relevant voice commands?" Dr. Lu asked Xu Teng.

"Ignore. Xu Teng picked up the teacup, and Dr. Lu was able to analyze hundreds of thousands of online data in tens of seconds, and as long as it could collect it, it could almost complete the analysis work in tens of seconds.

In addition to this, Dr. Lu is still helping Yu Suyun and Han Dai do things, and there is no problem with being distracted.

Supercomputing, the cooling system is liquid nitrogen.

The highest technology crystallization that Huateng Company can collect and use, after 7 versions of progress, there is this artificial intelligence of the neurological system.

"Confirm that ignoring, based on the case of Iridium, it is recommended that you do not start a similar investment plan, with a forecast loss rate of more than 72%, and in the past three years, the total market for international satellite phone sales and services has been less than $175 million, with Iridium accounting for 43.7% and Inmarsat accounting for 29.3%, and the new market available for development is expected to be unable to form an effective scale within three years, and the market growth rate is expected to be less than 5% ....... Dr. Lu has dozens of complete business models, and no matter which field Xu Teng invests in, as long as Dr. Lu's database has a corresponding business model, and so on.

As for data sources, in addition to online data, Dr. Lu also has business data from more than a dozen international business research firms, including the databases of Huateng and the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute.

"There is no need to do the accounting. Xu Teng gave a new order, if he didn't ask Dr. Lu to stop, Dr. Lu could babble for an hour, because it did have a lot of data and the analysis was lightning fast.

"Stop accounting. Dr. Lu stopped for the time being.

For Xu Teng, it was a second, but for Dr. Lu, it was actually as long as a mortal's life, because its calculations were measured in milliseconds.

If it took Xu Teng five days to complete all the college entrance examination papers in the past 20 years, Dr. Lu only needed 0.01 seconds.

This is really overkill, and the supercomputing at Dr. Lu's level is used to extrapolate nuclear weapons and climate change.

"Chairman Xu, you won't be developing artificial intelligence, right?" Dean Cheng was shocked, it was too sci-fi, as a scientist, he was going to kneel for Xu Teng, which cost a lot of money?

"Don't you know? I've been working in R&D in this field for six years, and I just signed a new contract with the Ministry of State Security. Xu Teng glanced back and motioned for Dean Cheng to sit down and not wander around his office.

This is the first time the two have met, but Dean Cheng is not at all, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants Xu Teng to lose 20 billion, and he does not have any guilt.

"So, this kind of high-tech industry must be looking for you to cooperate, you see, the fourth-generation nuclear power technology of the traveling wave reactor, you have invested, artificial intelligence, you have invested, the outer space ecological survival system, you have invested, robots, you have invested, you are short of this satellite communication technology now. With this, you can launch rockets and send a group of people to work on the moon for a year and a half. Dean Cheng felt that he knew Xu Teng very well, everyone was a scientist, they were all engaged in cosmic science and technology, and they had a common language.

He is the vice president and the vice president of the research institute under the Aviation Science Group, before leaving, the chairman of the group and the president of the group, Qian Dingyu, Wan instructed, must have a good relationship with Xu Caishen.

Relationships matter.

As long as Hangke Group can have a good relationship with Xu Teng, the God of Wealth, it is like having a second Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance does not allocate funds, looking for Xu Teng.

Now they all talk about military and civilian use, and military enterprises should also actively explore the civilian market, this kind of thing, Hangke Group is no better than shipbuilding heavy industry, how to open up the civilian market, that is simply a smear.

In recent years, the Hangke Group has opened up the civil market, basically to get some surplus capital to engage in the real estate industry, which is not out of the ordinary, and the AVIC Group is also doing this, obviously saying that it is to engage in large aircraft, and as soon as the commercial aviation company opens, it will first go to buy land.

Even if you focus on the real estate industry, you have to cooperate with Xu Teng.

Huateng company has all kinds of industries, in fact, there are places everywhere where Hangke Group can intervene, parts, electronic devices, satellite navigation, ...... Hangke Group has technology, although there are no products for the time being, but it can cooperate in research and development.

If central enterprises want to make friends, they have to make friends with Huateng Company.

What's more, this time there is an order, it is best to cooperate with Huateng Company, borrow the SCC company under Huateng Company, borrow the chicken to lay eggs, speed up the comprehensive layout of the domestic satellite telephone system, and launch the first satellite within two years.

Dean Cheng initially thought that both sides had received instructions, and he came on a business trip to make a show, shake hands, and have a meal, and Dean Cheng had thought about the location of the meal.

Although Dean Cheng is a full researcher, he has not been doing scientific research for many years, and he understands the outside world.

It is said that Huateng Company holds four of the world's top ten red wine brands, known as the world's four famous wines, as well as the shares of the national liquor Moutai, and its subsidiaries also include Hyatt Hotel Group and Jiangtai Huating series hotels.

Dean Cheng originally thought that he would go to the Park Hyatt Hotel in Shanghai to have a good meal, and if he was lucky, he would go to Xu Teng's mansion Mahler Villa for a meal, and take some souvenirs home.

These are all trivial things, and when Dean Cheng took the plane, he thought about it boringly, after all, he was meeting with the richest man in the world, and he would have to come and go often in the future, and he should be good friends...... It is inevitable that anyone will have a reverie.

It's too beautiful to think.

Dean Cheng is definitely a very serious person, in the courtyard, he has always spoken with a straight face, and he easily does not show any smile, but he can't withstand this temptation, to be honest, the three vice presidents of the academy, who represents the courtyard and Xu Teng in this matter of contact and negotiation, everyone still experienced a dragon and tiger fight.

In the end, Vice President Cheng, who was more knowledgeable about economic work, won by luck.

The night before departure, the vice president's wife, Qian Dingyu, instructed that the work of your daughter and son-in-law will be settled by you, and strive to be arranged to be a middle-level cadre in Huateng Company.

To tell the truth, generally speaking, this kind of thing is someone else who comes to ask Vice Dean Cheng, and he didn't expect that he also has a time when he asks others to arrange work...... No way, the other party is the richest man in the world.

The other party is Xu Teng.

In the land of China, the number one God of Wealth in the world!

Vice President Cheng sat in front of Xu Teng, from the beginning to the present, he was still a little excited, he didn't expect Xu Teng to be so approachable...... Generally speaking, this kind of remark is mainly used by others to describe him.

"Okay, since it's the above meaning, then let's do this thing, I can make a joint venture with your hospital, and in terms of funding, I will first provide 2 billion start-up funds, and then we will recalculate the accounts when the national budget is allocated." Generally speaking, if the state promises to give 20 billion scientific research funds, it will basically take four or five years to put it in place, and it will not be directly given to a certain institute.

A hospital only undertakes part of the work, but in fact, the work is undertaken by other institutions, and the funds also follow the project.

The 5 hospitals can get 10 billion fees for supporting the death.

The actual manufacturing and launch of satellites, this part of the cost is counted, a total of 20 billion, an average of 2 billion a year, this fund is definitely not small, but if you want to do a good job, it is still a drop in the bucket.

It really has to wait until ten years later, and the daylilies are cold.

Therefore, what Xu Teng means is that he will borrow the money first, and each institution will immediately take the money to start work, what should be done, what equipment should be bought, and buy it immediately, don't wait for the financial allocation, and then return it to him when the money comes down.

The cooperation between Xu Teng and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is basically this model, so the favorite capitalist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is Xu Teng, and there is no one.

Everyone is mixed in a circle, and the news has already spread all over the world, at the dinner table, at the banquet, between the greetings, all kinds of rumors, and the wine table party is also the source of internal news dissemination.

Hangke Group had heard about this for a long time, and when he got the instructions, he heard that it was designated to cooperate with Huateng Company, Chairman Wei and the leadership team almost laughed on the spot, and compared with the rival Aerospace Group, they already had a sense of being a higher grade.

In any case, the Hangke Group and a certain institute are indeed very happy, and they are very happy.

As for how much this business will lose in the end, they know in their hearts, but this is a national task, there is no way, it is not a state-owned enterprise, who will do this errand?

Unexpectedly, there is also a big entrenchment of Huateng Company to undertake national tasks together, okay, it will be difficult to be a brother in the future.

Objectively speaking, if there is still a company in China that can do this business without losing so much, it is only Huateng Company; if there is a private group in China that can make this business beautiful, not lose to the Iridium Company of the United States, and can push it to the global scale, even if it is the market share of the top three in competition, it is only Huateng Company.

If there is a private company in China, even if it loses, it can support this business, and it is only Huateng Company.

There are a number of leaders who make decisions.

Xu Teng is a smart person, he doesn't need to say hello, he must understand...... Yes, Xu Teng does understand, so he agrees.

20 billion, drizzle.

As Dean Cheng said, this technology and platform is indeed what he must have in the future, because he will eventually launch the manned system to the moon through the cooperation of Huateng Company and the space system, opening the first step of interstellar colonization.

He has already contacted the relevant units on this matter, and there is no problem.

He just pays.

The state does the state's project, he does his project, and the overlapping projects are done together.

In fact, the state financial funds in the aerospace field are still limited, and Xu Teng's annual investment of more than 100 million yuan is also an absolutely large support for the relevant units.

For many things, the specific progress will be at least three or four years faster.

Especially after the Long March 5 and Long March 9 are introduced, this progress will be faster, and the launch cycle can basically be fully utilized.

Therefore, in this matter, the relevant units immediately thought of Huateng Company.

Therefore, Xu Teng has no reason to refuse.

Men, they all live for their ideals, other people's ideals are goddesses, Xu Teng's ideal is to colonize aliens first, and then have more goddess attention. (To be continued.) )
