"When I started the nuclear power plant, I said that I would press him, but you just refused, for fear that this kid would be wronged. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info insisted on agreeing with him to build ten large-scale nuclear power plants in one go, even the Soviet Union would not dare to do this! Such a major project is easy to start if he is in charge alone, and now it's a bad thing! The younger elder took a sip of tea, he had long expected that if Chen Xu continued to develop like this, it would get out of control sooner or later, and now it was as expected.

The great elder finished drinking the tea, and continued unsatisfied: "The last nuclear power plant project was considered a great power, and one person gathered all the construction funds, and the American company was willing to cooperate with the technology, so I won't say anything." After all, it is a great thing that the nuclear power plant is built and the people of the whole country are benefited, and we are going to be big evildoers when we come out to stop it. What is this space city project now? If so much money is spent on such an illusory military project, if it fails, our current government will become a laughing stock of history. ”

There was silence in the conference room for a while, and after a while, the voice of the old chief broke the situation: "Let's take a good look at the content first, this kid doesn't have much time to beg us, he can solemnly write such a plan, and send people to come all the way to the imperial capital to ask for our opinions, it is estimated that he really wants to make this thing happen, and we should support it in a reasonable way." In those days, it was not difficult to develop atomic bombs, ballistic missiles, and satellites, and it was even more outrageous than this plan. ”

The old chief's speech in the elders' meeting still carries a lot of weight, and Chen Xu and Mr. Deng are on the same line of reform and opening up, so Mr. Deng is also biased towards Chen Xu.

There was silence in the conference room, only the sound of pages turning, and as the detailed data gradually took shape in everyone's minds, the faces of several elders present became more and more solemn, and they no longer had the intention of joking.

"Chen Xu is really a talent, if there are a few more capable people like this, our economy will definitely be able to improve several steps in ten years." Mr. Deng closed the plan, lit a cigarette for himself, and sighed as he picked his head.

"Cao Zijian monopolizes the talents of the world's eight fights, and such a character only comes out once in a thousand years. This Chen Xu can also be regarded as a once-in-a-century talent, and it takes hundreds of years of national fortune to raise one. It's not easy for us to get one, and it's impossible to get a dozen! The old chief smiled and interrupted, in his eyes, Chen Xu is a unique existence in this era, it is they who are the older generation to carefully protect the seedlings, and when he grows up, it will be of great benefit to the whole country.

"What do you think of this plan to land on Mars?" Mr. Deng changed his conversation and brought the topic back to the plan to ask for everyone's opinions.

"I think it's very good, if this plan can be a big improvement for our technology! It is said that the reason why the United States is now able to stabilize the Soviet Union in science and technology is because the technology accumulated by the Apollo moon landing program has been decentralized to civilian use, which has greatly promoted the development of American science. With the lessons of the past, let's learn from behind, even if the project is not successful, those developed aerospace science and technology can make a lot of money when put into civilian use" This great elder is obviously a science and technology country, advocating vigorously promoting the development of national science and technology, so he is optimistic about Chen Xu's plan.

"The Apollo moon landing program did cost tens of billions of dollars back then, and when you count inflation, it's actually about the same as the budget of our Mars program." Mr. Deng smashed his mouth and nodded and said, he is also a bold character and quite adventurous.

"I think the most important thing is not this, if we really succeed in landing on Mars, it will have a great boost to China's science and technology, and secondly, it will open up a broad road for our young people, so that they know that the country's aerospace science and technology can send astronauts to another planet, which will greatly motivate these young people and urge them to work hard to learn scientific knowledge." The old chief stood up and said excitedly.

"But the risk of his plan is too great, 80 billion US dollars, our government's annual income is not so much, how can this kid make money like this! If we can give half to the Ministry of Finance, how much can we do with our hands! The elder who manages the country's finances envies Chen Xu's ability to collect money, and he really wants to take the opportunity to squeeze Chen Xu's oil and water to solve the financial pressure of the imperial capital.

"His money didn't come out of thin air, he saved it bit by bit, and a few of our old men went to rob him of a young man's belongings, and it wouldn't look good if it was passed on." Mr. Deng shook his head and disagreed to ask Chen Xu for money, after all, he had to do no less than the emperor, and the emperor didn't help him, wouldn't it be helpful if he reached out to ask for money......

"If Chen Xiaozi can raise money to solve the problem by himself, it seems that there is nothing wrong with us supporting his plan, and more importantly, he invests money and we contribute some manpower, and in the end it is our entire country that will benefit, this kind of mutually beneficial and win-win thing can be done." In such a national meeting, the elders will think about the big picture, and if the plan is beneficial to the state, then they will agree to sign it off.

"I also see it this way, since it is beneficial to the country, even if it fails, it is the money of the Chen family's boy, we have no reason to be this wicked person, so I agree." Mr. Deng raised his hand and said that he supported the approval of the proposal.

"Such a big military project, Chen Xu must obey the deployment of the country, can't let him be so willful, with his character is so aggressive, this plan is more likely to fail, so I suggest that he be given some restrictions, he can't be allowed to fully grasp the initiative, everything is carried out in a disorderly manner according to his will, and no one knows what will happen in the end." Some elders put forward their opinions, he felt that it was time to give Chen Xu a little restriction, this time he could bear to go to the Martian country, and if he came to explore the galaxy next time, the country would have to be bankrupt.

"I also support this, and I must talk to Chen Xu when I go back, if the Mars project wants to be supported by the state, it must accept the supervision of the state, and it can't let him do whatever he wants. Now raise your hand! Agree or disagree with the adoption of this plan? Mr. Deng snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, looked at the colleagues in the room very solemnly, and said loudly.

Everyone in the conference room raised their hands in agreement, and Chen Xu's plan was approved!

"In that case, let's sign it! Let's help him carry this pot! As he spoke, Mr. Deng asked the secretary outside to type a document, indicating that the landing on Mars plan will be upgraded to a national-level mission, the government will endorse Chen Xu, and the whole plan will be completed by the whole country.

"Should we make this project public and make it known, or should we do it in a confidential manner?" An elder asked.

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent again, and everyone was thinking about the pros and cons, and it took about a few minutes for everyone to start exchanging ideas with each other.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Mr. Deng took the lead in asking: "Through the results of the discussion just now, everyone's opinion is basically to do this matter in an open form, after all, such a big project wants to be hidden, and the cost of confidentiality is not a small amount, so if you can save it, you can save it!" But it is also a troublesome matter to make it public, and the reaction of the United States and the Soviet Union will certainly not be small, and they may accuse us of provoking a military race in space, and then our diplomatic pressure will be very great. Not to mention that the Martian spacecraft in here is still nuclear-powered, and the United States is still easy to talk to, and the Soviet Union will definitely use this as an excuse to trouble us. ”

"What are we going to do, how can we see the face of the Empire's attention! Whether it's a military race in space or a nuclear-powered spacecraft! We went according to the plan, and as long as the spacecraft did get to Mars, no amount of their opinion would turn into a joke at that moment. This is a milestone in the history of human science and technology, and morally we have the initiative, the United States and the Soviet Union took nuclear bombs to make ballistic missiles, and we took spaceships to explore dangerous space on behalf of mankind. The old chief patted the armrest of the chair, and every word was sonorous and powerful, and he never looked at the imperialist paper tigers of the United States and the Soviet Union, nor did he bother to argue with them.

"I agree with this statement, not to mention that if this matter is made public, it will be a big event not only for foreign countries, but also for our own people, and everyone will be proud of their country, and I hope that the people of the whole country will participate in this plan from beginning to end, instead of waiting until the moment the spacecraft is launched to know that the country has sued for such a big scientific and technological project." Mr. Deng also nodded, expressing his agreement with the old chief's opinion.

Mr. Deng had already made a decision, and everyone had no objections, and they all raised their hands to agree to make public the plan of the flower planter to land on Mars.

As for how to turn this plan into a hot topic on the streets, it will need the cooperation of the national media. Chen Xu will hold a media conference at that time to announce the big news in front of journalists from all over the world.

The Presbyterian Council had anticipated that the announcement would cause an uproar around the world, and that Western countries might laugh at China's incompetence and ridicule it to their heart's content. But when the plan is actually implemented, Western countries will panic, and then rush to raise money and launch space projects of the same level at the same time.

If any country emerges from the ground in space technology, it will pose no less threat to the world than it did when the United States had its own nuclear bomb. If it weren't for the Soviet Union, which also got out the nuclear bomb, no one knows whether the United States would have become a greedy country like Germany in World War II.

Therefore, regardless of whether all countries agree or not, in fact, aerospace science and technology and nuclear science and technology are weapons projects of the same level, and once the flower growers master the control of low-earth orbit, this is simply equivalent to mastering the world's air supremacy, and no one will want to win against China in the future!

The launch of a nuclear bomb still needs to be prepared, and there is a considerable probability that it will be intercepted, but space weapons cannot be intercepted at all, and China can directly move the space station carrying weapons to the sky above the enemy country to carry out real-time precision strikes, this country is simply a fish on the board, and can only be slaughtered by China.

It is conceivable that Western countries will not allow this to happen, and they cannot stop China's pursuit of space dreams, so they can only launch similar space programs to counterbalance China's rise! (To be continued.) )
