Chapter 578: Sky City
All the information on Penglai Island is in the hands of Pangu, or a considerable part of the information in the world is in the hands of Pangu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, this does not mean that Pangu will react to everything. Most of the time, Pangu just accumulates this information.
Lu Yang's arming on Penglai Island is very tight, for the management, he will regularly test their loyalty through brain wave tests, find out people with ulterior motives and ill intentions, in all corners of the island, Lu Yang has installed camera equipment, with neutrino communication satellites and Sky Eye satellite systems in the sky, it can be said that every move on Penglai Island cannot escape Lu Yang's eyes.
Even so, Penglai Island is not invulnerable. Pangu is very strong, but it is far inferior to humans in terms of creativity, and no matter how strict the system is, humans can always find loopholes, just like the scene in front of them.
"Boss, I have sifted through all the information, and the preliminary judgment is that these five people are connected, and they instilled certain knowledge into the stars, which is also premeditated." It took Pangu five minutes to come to a conclusion.
Lu Yang said in his heart Sure enough, he felt wrong when he heard Xingxing's words just now, the knowledge that Xingxing said should not appear in elementary school at all, and the most vigilant thing for Lu Yang was that Xingxing seemed to agree with these things, which showed that he had accepted these things for a while.
Lu Yang has some conjectures in his heart, but there is no way to draw conclusions about many things now.
"Son, Dad is going to the space center in the next two days, so you can come along." Lu Yang came out of the study and said to the stars.
"Okay!" As soon as he heard about the space center, Xingxing immediately became interested, "Dad, can't our moon travel increase?" ”
Lu Yang touched his head: "Not now, we only have one space plane that can achieve lunar travel, and other space programs also need it, its mission is too heavy." ”
"So why not cut back on space travel? Space travel takes longer than moon travel and doesn't earn as much as moon travel. Star asked.
"It's not just about income...... However, your suggestion is good, and you can consider it later. Lu Yang didn't have the heart to explain this to the child now, and he didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm, so he said perfunctorily.
"Actually, we can add an airplane, Dad." Xingxing said seriously.
"Boss, we should add at least one aerospace plane now!" The next day, Lu Yang and Xingxing came to the space center together, Li Yilong suggested.
Lu Yang listened and couldn't help but look at the stars.
"It's not difficult to add aerospace planes." Lu Yang thought to himself, but if Penglai Island starts to build a second aerospace plane, it is likely that China will also come to ask for it. Of course, Lu Yang can refuse.
Lu Yang asked Pangu about it, the stored space materials have exceeded 380 tons, and the consumption of an aerospace aircraft is 200 tons, the material problem has been solved, and the production line that made Space One is still there. If it is really decided, at the speed of Pangu, in four months, the second aerospace aircraft will be able to be put into service.
Lu Yang did not build a second aerospace aircraft before, mainly considering the issue of industrial gravity. The space industry is a long-term industry, and everyone knows that it is the future, but the space industry does not play a decisive role at present. So far, Penglai Aerospace's biggest achievement in the space industry has been the hundreds of tons of helium-3 brought back from the moon, and nothing else has been gained.
Penglai Island's space industry is supported by Luyang, while considering long-term development, Luyang must enhance its own capital, and this mainly relies on Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company, Penglai Energy Company and other ground industries. And this has also affected the industrial layout of Penglai Group. Therefore, Penglai Group's technology research and development accounted for only 8% of Penglai Aerospace Company.
Now it seems that it would be nice to build another aerospace plane. According to the data provided by Li Yilong, Space One made a total profit of 352.1 billion yuan for Penglai Aerospace Company last year, and 83.3 billion yuan in 2018, calculated from its service, Space One created a total revenue of 435.4 billion yuan, and its manufacturing cost is about 130 billion, and the profit has long exceeded the cost.
"Okay, Lao Li, let's start building the second aerospace plane right away!" Lu Yang weighed the gains and losses and agreed to Li Yilong's suggestion.
Li Yilong was very happy: "Great, boss, I won't tell you, Space One is used too frequently, and we are all worried." Penglai Aerospace and the International Space Agency have been doing a lot of space projects recently, and Space One is simply too busy, so we have to subcontract some projects to mainland and Russian space companies. It would be nice to have a second space plane, and we would not only be able to increase space travel and lunar travel, but also speed up lunar development......"
"Lao Li, on the ISA project, we don't want to eat alone, and appropriately assign those jobs with small profit margins to others. Space travel and moon travel, you see how many times you want, but make a profit. Lu Yang commanded two sentences.
"I know that these two projects are the most important source of profit for the company at the moment, and I will definitely grasp it." Li Yilong said.
For Li Yilong, Lu Yang is still relatively relieved. Penglai Aerospace has not increased its investment since it had Space One. On the contrary, Li Yilong and they hand over huge profits to the group every year, and they are also ranked very high among all the companies in the group.
In the first half of this year, Penglai Aerospace ranked fifth in the ranking of global science and technology innovation companies, and it was also rated as the most valuable high-tech company in the future.
The Penglai Space Center underwent an expansion in February, largely because of the needs of the International Space Agency. After the expansion of the International Space Agency, the annual funding has reached 600 billion yuan, and the number of institutions and personnel has increased substantially. To make it easier to manage, the expanded space center included the International Space Agency, which deepened the relationship between Penglai Aerospace and the International Space Agency, as well as Lu Yang's control of the International Space Agency.
Lu Yang asked Li Yilong in detail about the International Space Agency, and he had great expectations for this agency. Space investment takes a long time and the risk is high, and Lu Yang can do it himself, but after having the International Space Agency, Lu Yang can use other countries' money to achieve his own goals.
"Boss, after more than 3 months of discussions, the International Space Agency adopted the 'City in the Sky' plan a few days ago." Li Yilong said.
The "City in the Sky" program is the largest plan of the International Space Agency after the lunar base and the transparent earth, and it is also what Lu Yang has been working hard to promote. The content of this plan is to establish a number of large-scale space cities in outer space, which can be used as an extension of human space research and defense, and can also serve as a home port for foreign exploration.
Another function of these space cities is to serve as a relay station for wireless energy.
"Did the plan pass?" Lu Yang couldn't help but show joy, this plan was proposed by him, and it was also an example of him using the funds of the International Space Agency to do things for himself.
Li Yilong thought of the International Space Agency's discussion of the "City in the Sky" program, and his heart was palpitating. In order to promote this plan, Li Yilong did his best to hold consultations with representatives of more than 100 countries for more than three months.
"The last plenary meeting officially approved the 'Sky City' plan, and it is expected that the preliminary work can be started as soon as October." Li Yilong said.
"What was the result of the vote?" Lu Yang said curiously.
"Only 80 of the 166 countries expressed support, but in terms of voting power, the percentage was 67 percent, just over two-thirds." Li Yilong said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Through this result, Lu Yang knew that Li Yilong had done a lot of work in private, after all, the countries he supported had not yet accounted for half.
"The main reason is that the investment in this program is too large." Li Yilong shook his head slightly and said, "In three years, the investment of 700 billion yuan is definitely the largest aerospace investment in human history." Moreover, building a city of this magnitude in outer space is technically difficult and risky, and if you are not careful, this plan could hit the International Space Agency hard. ”
Lu Yang is also very clear about this, with the current technology of mankind, the construction of the 370-ton International Space Station is already very remarkable, and the construction of a 2 million-ton steel city is simply a fantasy. Among other things, it is a very challenging task to put 2 million tons of heavy things on an orbit 36,000 kilometers above the ground.
"The risks of this program are really high, but the benefits are also many." Lu Yang turned on the virtual screen of the space center, and the image of the earth appeared on the virtual screen.
"Space City is an important part of our space elevator, and it is also an accelerator for human beings to enter space, no matter how big the investment, we must stick to it!" Lu Yang's attitude was very resolute.
Li Yilong was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Boss, do you really want to build a space elevator?" ”
"Of course. If space exploration is compared to 17th-century seafaring, the extraterrestrial space city is the equivalent of a port, and the space elevator is a railroad connecting the port to the mainland. With the completion of the space elevator, the speed of human exploration of the universe will be greatly increased, and various resources will be more inclined to this aspect. Lu Yang built a model of a space elevator on a virtual screen.
Li Yilong said: "Boss, I don't think it will be good for us to build a space elevator at this time." ”
"Why do you say that?" Lu Yang couldn't help but ask, and the star next to him also withdrew his gaze from the virtual screen and turned to look at Li Yilong. (To be continued.) )
