Elon Musk suddenly suggested that he had been thinking about this idea for a long time, and it was the only one he could think of at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Bill Gates on the other side of the phone couldn't help but laugh and said: "Elon, don't be naïve, you know, SpaceX is the biggest opponent of Penglai Aerospace Company, how can Lu Yang let go of our conditions?" ”

Elon Musk said: "In my opinion, SpaceX is not enough to be a rival to Penglai Aerospace, and perhaps Lu Yang also thinks the same way, he does not necessarily see us as a threat." ”

"Well, perhaps." Bill Gates said with a wry smile, he really has no reason to refute Elon Musk's words, "Even so, Lu Yang will not open up to us, I believe that as long as he is a normal person, he will not do this." ”

Elon Musk was silent for half a minute, then said, "Bill, I agree with you, but I still want to try." The 'Castle in the Sky' program is too important for SpaceX, and if we miss it, the loss for the entire company is immeasurable!" ”

"Is it really that serious?" Bill Gates asked.

"Not bad!"

"Alright then, you try it."

Elon Musk said: "I immediately flew to Penglai Island, hoping to meet Lu Yang. ”

Bill Gates thought about it for a while: "I will also go to Penglai Island in two days, I still have cooperation with him in energy, Chinese people value personal friendship very much, I hope Lu Yang can sell me a favor." ”

"That's great!" Elon Musk said that in his opinion, Bill Gates must have more face than himself, although the former richest man in the world was robbed of his name by Lu Yang, but it was because Lu Yang was too strong, not because he was weak.

"Bill, what do you say is the cooperation with Lu Yang in energy, is it nuclear fusion power generation or wireless power?" Elon Musk suddenly asked.

"Wireless power." Bill Gates didn't hide it from him.

"I hope that your cooperation can be reached, so that Tesla's electric vehicles in the United States can quickly replace traditional cars." Elon Musk lamented that after the Guangming Tower was put into use, the sales of electric vehicles increased by 50% in just three months, and the supply of reliable electric vehicles exceeded demand.

"It's not easy to promote wireless power in the United States, unless it's the Rockefeller and Morgan consortium nodding, the major consortia more or less have their own energy industries, and I don't have a little certainty if I want them to turn to wireless power." Bill Gates said that in fact, he was not enthusiastic about Lu Yang's proposal for cooperation. At the end of the day, the operating system is at the heart of his business, and energy is just an attempt.

In this regard, Elon Musk can only sigh. He and Bill Gates are both billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars and have a lot of influence in the world, but in front of those big conglomerates, they are no different from ordinary people.

Only when they reach their level will they understand how terrible the top ten consortia of rice are!

……

"Boss, this is the result of our discussion." Li Yilong came to Lu Yang's office and continued to discuss the "Sky City" plan with him.

Lu Yang received Li Yilong's document, which was about the assignment of tasks for the "Sky City" project.

"20% in China, 15% in Russia, 5% in the UK, 5% in France......" Lu Yang glanced at it.

"Several European countries rely on the European Space Agency, and in some areas, their technology is still trustworthy. So this time, in addition to China and Russia, European countries together account for 50% of the uninvolved share of Penglai Aerospace Company, and the remaining 15% is allocated to other member states. Li Yilong explained.

Lu Yang nodded: "According to this ratio, Huaxia can get 20% of the quota, which is equivalent to an order of 120 billion yuan, and China should be very satisfied." ”

"China originally wanted to get more orders, but I considered that it was too biased and not conducive to the development of the International Space Agency, so I lowered it." Li Yilong said.

Lu Yang agreed: "Your consideration is right, the International Space Agency is not a one-shot deal, although it is controlled by us, but no matter what the project is, it cannot be dried up and fished." You told the representatives in China that we should take a long-term view and have more interests in the future, so that they should not rush for quick success. ”

"I will!"

The outside world is still discussing the distribution of the cake of the "city in the sky", but it is not known that the interests have been divided within the International Space Agency, and the member states have conducted internal bidding according to the proportion of discussion. However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Russian media first exposed their own orders.

"Russia received an order of 820 billion rubles in the 'Sky City' program!" The first report of the Moscow Times was full of ostentation, for them, 820 billion rubles is enough to save Russia's two largest space companies.

"43 billion euros of orders fell into Europe!" Britain's "Mirror" followed suit, exposing Europe's share of orders, such a huge order made European-related companies boil, and the stock of its largest aerospace company, Airbus, rose one after another.

Relatively speaking, Huaxia is relatively low-key, after all, they get the most benefits. If you count the share of Penglai Island, the entire project has an investment of 1.2 trillion yuan, and Huaxia has received an order of 720 billion yuan, accounting for 60%.

It's just that in China, the 120 billion orders have also been snatched up.

And those countries that failed to participate began to talk cool at this time, and the media of the United States pointed to the secret operation of the International Space Agency, because it was said that the project was externally tendered, and now it has been allocated internally. For their salty and careless behavior of eating turnips, the International Space Agency did not pay attention to it at all.

Just when the outside world was disturbing, Lu Yang had already asked Pangu to start building the second and third aerospace planes. Because of the insufficient reserves of space materials, Lu Yang spent an additional 30 billion to make up the difference of 20 tons.

The aerospace aircraft production line has been directly sealed since Space One rolled off the assembly line. However, the outside world has not stopped exploring it, but with the loss of time, everyone's curiosity has become heavier and heavier.

For human beings, the aerospace plane is an out-and-out black technology, and its mystery is no less than that of alien flying saucers. Therefore, Penglai Robot Company and its nearby aerospace aircraft production workshop are regarded by the outside world as a place similar to the 51st district of the United States, and are named the title of X area by the outside world.

Legend has it that Lu Yang obtained alien technology, which he kept in Area X. This statement can't help but be scrutinized, after all, Lu Yang had risen before Penglai Island was established.

Still, there are many people who are willing to believe this statement. In the past three years, there have been five movies shot around Penglai Island Area X, four of which were filmed in Hollywood and one was shot by Tianxin Pictures. These films cast a layer of mystery over Zone X.

Of course, compared to Area 51, Area X is a little more realistic, because it used to produce Space One, and hundreds of thousands of people around the world have been exposed to Space One.

In fact, after the adoption of the "Sky City" plan, there has been speculation from the outside world that Penglai Aerospace Company will increase the number of aerospace aircraft, otherwise such a large volume will not be completed by an aerospace aircraft. And when Lu Yang started the aerospace aircraft production line in a low-key manner, the outside world was keenly aware that the first person to get the exact news was Huaxia.

Although Huaxia has little control over Penglai Island, the intelligence agencies have a lot of eyeliner here.

"Lu Yang, there are rumors outside, you plan to build a second aerospace plane?" At noon that day, Lu Yang received a call from the prime minister, and the prime minister said tentatively.

Lu Yang said indifferently: "There is indeed this plan, but it is not to build a second plane, but to build a second and a third plane together." ”

The Prime Minister was pleasantly surprised: "Are you ready to equip the aerospace aircraft on a large scale?" ”

Lu Yang shook his head: "Of course not, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't do it." ”

"Why?"

"The material used to make the aerospace plane is very special, this is a rare synthetic material, with the scientific and technological strength of Penglai Island, there is only 200 tons of production a year. Counting the consumption of other products, it is remarkable to be able to accumulate 100 tons per year, and two years of accumulation is enough for an aerospace aircraft. Lu Yang explained.

The prime minister knew what Lu Yang was talking about, a material that is far harder and stronger than all kinds of alloys that humans have, but it is very light in weight, and at the same time has many incredible properties, such as high temperature resistance, good conductivity, and the ability to accurately magnetize. The outside world has a name for this material, X alloy.

In fact, X alloy is not uncommon in the world, such as Type 18 spacesuits, functional suits, Polaris, Ziweixing and other products, all use a small amount of X alloy. X alloy is widely used, but the price is very high, comparable to gold, all products that use X alloy, the price will not be low.

The country is very curious about the X alloy, and once organized personnel to disassemble 2 kg of X alloy from a product worth 10 million and study it. Not only Huaxia, but all countries around the world have studied it, but three years have passed, and no country has been able to figure out the formula of X alloy, and naturally no one has produced similar products.

When the prime minister heard Lu Yang's explanation, his eyes flashed with a fine light, and then he said in a calm tone: "If it's a material limit, why not expand production?" Penglai Island has limited resources, but the mainland is rich in resources and has a strong production capacity, and if you cooperate, there is absolutely no problem in solving the output of X alloy. ”

Lu Yang shook his head secretly, if the X alloy was really so easy to produce, he would have expanded the production a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
