"Mr., this is the application submitted by Shonan University for the establishment of a high-energy physics laboratory, this is the company's Army Precision Weapons Research Office on the launch of the third-generation main battle tank and anti-tank missile technical demonstration application, this is the second half of the budget table of the chemical laboratory of Wuchang University, in addition to the controllable nuclear fusion reactor experimental plan proposed by the Hefei National Institute of Physics......" The warm winter morning light outside the window spilled into the office, and the expression on Lao Zhu's face remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the folders were neatly placed on the table. Every time I put a copy, I muttered the contents of the folder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Later, you go to the hospital and take my kidney off and exchange it for money, and then use it as funds, all come to me for funds, I can only sell my organs to make money." Chen Xu grabbed a pencil, picked open one of the documents, and said angrily: "What is this?" It's actually an application for funding for the construction of a thermonuclear fusion reactor, and he's just a few people who are engaged in physics and have to come up with a plan, and they dare to reach out and ask me for money. The day before yesterday, Wuchang University wanted to build a particle collider to conduct antimatter research, and the Institute of Science and Industry wanted to play a quantum laboratory. I can understand that the domestic scientific community wants to promote the development of science, but I can't be so foolish! The cost of modern physical engineering and equipment is getting more and more expensive, how can we afford it as a company. ”

"Since I don't want to, then I'll send this application back, and if it doesn't pass!" Lao Zhu's idea is very simple, he is just an accountant who doesn't understand these physical things at all, since Chen Xu doesn't agree, then deny it.

"Let's leave it alone! Although the thinking is a bit fanciful, if you can continue to invest, the potential returns are still very rich. Chen Xu pressed his hand on the folder, although he knew that this nuclear fusion furnace was unreliable, and it might not be able to produce results in thirty or fifty years, but once it was done, mankind would enter the next round of energy revolution, and the benefits would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of times.

To put it mildly, even if he is reduced to the point of really asking Chen Xu to sell his organs, he will really cut it to support the development of this project.

Chen Xu is really nerve-wracking, he encourages universities across the country to open up their minds to engage in research, but all scientific research projects with ideas Southern Heavy Industry Group and Panda Group will be supported, and a certain amount of funds will be allocated to support development.

Although they are all small investments, their role in promoting national science should not be underestimated.

As a result, these universities got out of control and rushed to start various physics engineering projects first. At the beginning, I was cautious and only dared to invest in small projects of tens of thousands of yuan, but the situation quickly got out of control, and all kinds of large projects of millions and tens of millions of dollars also dared to ask for money.

Fortunately, these universities have more or less inherited the spirit of hard work and simplicity, and when they reached out to ask for money, they did not open their mouths indiscriminately, and they all applied for funds at a minimum.

Chen Xu thinks that the start of these scientific research projects should be sooner rather than later, and that starting research more than ten years earlier, even if it is just a project demonstration, is of great significance to the scientific development of the country in the future, so he will approve most of the reasonable projects.

Sometimes some bizarre scientific research projects, such as gravitational fields, quantum teleportation and other preliminary demonstration funds, only need 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, Chen Xu feels that these research projects are very promising in the future, and will not strangle them because the projects are too strange.

Perhaps these projects will not be able to study a reason for this in twenty or thirty years, but as long as we continue to invest a small amount of money, maybe fifty or sixty years or even longer, when the development of science and technology reaches a certain level, these projects will cause qualitative changes due to quantitative changes, so it is worth making long-term investments.

However, those large-scale physical projects are very troublesome, and tens of millions of dollars are spent at every turn, and they can't help but give! These research projects have already been carried out abroad, and if China does not keep up, it will drag on further and further.

This kind of large-scale physical project, it stands to reason that it should be funded by the government, and it has a bird feather relationship with him. However, the government has used all the money to develop the economy, not to mention the scientific research funds of universities, and even the military weapons research projects are being discontinued on a large scale.

Everyone knows that the Southern Heavy Industry Group has money, so they came over and begged for help, more money and less money is secondary, the most important thing is to get the funds to continue the research, if the research is interrupted, I don't know what year and month it will be when I pick it up again.

Chen Xu also understands this truth, so he is trying his best to maintain these scientific research projects without interruption.

"Is there still money in our company's account? Didn't you say a while ago that the oil had run out and the lamp had dried up? Chen Xu never held the money in his hand, the left pocket went into the right pocket, and sometimes he didn't know whether there was money in the company's accounts. But since Lao Zhu is willing to sign the documents for him, it means that the company can allocate money, and there is money in the account.

"Originally, I didn't have any money, but this month, I remitted 800 million US dollars from Japan, all of which are the patent proceeds generated by the electronic technology you sold to Japan that year, and part of it will be recorded every month, which is enough to maintain the company's operations." Lao Zhu said indifferently beside him

"It turned out to be the income generated by Japan, so I was relieved." Chen Xu opened the document and signed his name on it as he spoke.

Chen Xu transferred a lot of electronic technology to Japan at the Tokyo Expo, but he knew that the speed of electronic product upgrading was very fast, so he applied for technical patents for follow-up technologies in a timely manner.

When Japanese electronics companies upgrade their products, they can easily touch the patent barrier, and they must pay technology patent fees to the Chinese side every time to continue production.

The technology patent fee set by Chen Xu is very high, such as the latest DVD music player of Japanese companies, 36% of the profits of each production unit have been taken away by the Panda Group, although it is the consumer who pays in the end, but it is an indisputable fact that the Panda Group has got a lot of money for nothing.

It has to be said that Japanese companies still have an advantage in the production of high-quality electronic equipment, even if the Panda Group has mastered many technical patents in the electronics industry, and they have learned to buy factories and put them into production, but the quality of the electronic products made in Japan is more than a little poor, the quality is poor, the price is low, and some are even sold at a loss.

However, Chen Xu knows that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and the high-tech electronics industry chain can't be built in one or two years, and although the product quality is very poor, it still insists on production. Only by constantly growing in failure, establishing a scientific management system in exploration, strict quality control, reasonable cost control, etc., can we surpass foreign products to achieve profitability.

"Sign it, take it!" Chen Xu piled up the folders, and then watched as Lao Zhu Jian's folders were all picked up and left the office.

The office became empty, leaving Chen Xu alone sitting on the boss's chair in a daze.

Recently, he has been thinking about a problem, the company's business is very extensive, all for the development of the country to study, Chen Xu has always been behind the technical support.

But none of them are what you want to do!

Most people have their own hobbies, even if they are busy with work every day, painting Lala Erhu and the like after work. And Chen Xu has never had his own hobby, of course he likes watches, but that is a collector's habit, not a hobby.

If you want to say what Chen Xu likes, it is aerospace, boys have a dream of interstellar voyage, even if they just see the starship model in science fiction novels, they will like it, give him some Lego bricks and they will naturally build a weird starship.

However, the aerospace industry is a high-risk industry with high investment returns and small returns, and it can almost be said to be a pure scientific project, and it is impossible to make money and return the cost.

There are indeed many valuable minerals in the universe, and there may be valuable deposits on the moon, Mars, and Jupiter. But the problem is that the tools are used to transport back to Earth, and it is unrealistic to expect a spaceship the size of a bus to carry as much ore as it gets, even if the spacecraft returns to Earth with a full load of gold.

Obviously, the high cost of flying is the biggest obstacle to human beings going to the stars!

However, during the Cold War, this obstacle was not very obvious, and both the United States and the Soviet Union wanted to engage in an arms race in space and extend the battlefield to outer space.

Since it is in the service of the war, then there is no need to care about how much it costs.

In the 70s and 80s, the space shuttle developed by the United States and the Soviet Union for the space program can be said to be the top scientific and technological project of this era.

Now only Chen Xu knows that the space shuttle is actually climbing the wrong technology tree, and both the United States and the Soviet Union hope that the space shuttle can be reused to carry out a variety of different tasks in space, such as military uses such as catching satellites.

To meet the demands of these missions, the equipment inside the shuttle was bloated and the systems were extremely complex. Even if it is parked on the ground, there are many minor problems, and the safety system of each flight is extremely low.

Of the five U.S. space shuttles, the Challenger lit fireworks and then disintegrated in the air of Columbia, both of which severely damaged human spaceflight.

In fact, the bombing of the space shuttle is not the most important thing, and it only costs so much money to build one. The United States burned more than 100 billion dollars in the 10-year Vietnam War, and the cost of building a space shuttle was less than 1 percent of the cost of a war.

In the end, the Americans chose to terminate the space shuttle program, mainly because the cost of a single use of the space shuttle was too high, and the cost of each launch had already exceeded $100 million, and the cost of each space shuttle was as high as $2 billion.

According to the original plan, the space shuttle can take off every month, which is more economical and cost-effective than a one-time rocket, but the fact is that every time it flies, it takes more than ten months to disassemble the entire space shuttle, and every screw is maintained to ensure the safety of the next trip. Even so, it is still impossible to avoid the space shuttle without accidents, and the facts have also proved that the reliability of this kind of aircraft is polar, not as safe as the rocket, and it has become inevitable to be eliminated.

The U.S. space shuttle program, which resulted in three decommissioning and two explosions, ended dismal, but it was better than accumulating a large amount of space technology.

As for the Soviet space shuttle project, it was even more wasteful, the entire project cost almost 20 billion rubles, and in the end only one test flight was carried out.

Although the project seemed to be successful, the bottomless pit of investment became a financial nightmare for the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the space shuttle program was also abandoned, and one of the finished products was bought by Germany as an exhibit, and the other was smashed by a collapsed roof in a blizzard.

The Soviet space shuttle project was like a meteor in the night sky, passing without a trace, brilliant for a moment, and soon disappearing without a trace, leaving nothing in essence, only giving mankind a beautiful expectation. (To be continued.) )
