"If there really is such an asteroid and then it is brought to the earth, I am afraid that the international steel price will immediately fall to the price of cabbage, and I don't know how many mining companies will go bankrupt because of this!" Su Yan thought of such a scenario, "Steel is known as the food of industry, and the price of food has plummeted, I don't know if it is good or bad for global industry!" ”

Lu Yang looked at the two of them who were embarrassed, and had to say: "Don't worry about this for now, the situation I said is just a hypothesis." www.biquge.info First of all, we have to find such an asteroid, and secondly, we have to transport it back to Earth, which is probably not possible with current technology. ”

"That's right...... I have to say boss, I'm scared of you! Yu Hao came back to his senses and said.

"Haha, Lao Yu, as a member of Penglai Island, you can't bear it like this. Now we are in the era of the big bang of technology, and the progress of technology is changing with each passing day, and it will not be long before what I am talking about will be realized. Lu Yang laughed loudly.

Yu Hao smiled bitterly: "Then boss, I ask you to say hello to me before realizing this, so that we can prepare......"

After more than 7 months of research and development, Penglai Intelligent Electronics Co., Ltd. launched functional clothes at the end of the year, this functional clothes are based on the 18-type spacesuit, on the basis of preserving some basic functions, other functions have been developed.

For example, a functional garment for explorers has the world's most advanced positioning and communication system, good protection, and can increase the user's strength and speed before the energy is depleted. With the addition of some equipment, the functional clothes can maintain a constant temperature and provide oxygen.

The functional clothes launched by Lei Jun this time include 14 types, and the explorer functional clothes are the first to be released. The suit weighs 5 kilograms, less than one-tenth the size of the Type 18 spacesuit, but the performance is powerful. In the words of the media, "Wearing this set of functional clothes, an ordinary climber can climb Mount Everest!" ”

Things are good, the price is naturally not cheap, the price of the explorer functional clothes is 200,000 yuan, obviously still aimed at the high-end market. In fact, Lei Jun is not worried that it can't be sold, for a piece of clothing, this price is expensive, but this is not an ordinary piece of clothing.

Everyone knows that those who like adventure are usually not bad for money!

In fact, as he expected, a week after the launch of the explorer's functional clothes, Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company received more than 100,000 orders, which far exceeded their production capacity.

Seeing this result, Lei Junle couldn't close his mouth, even he didn't think that things would go so smoothly!

"Lao Lei, congratulations, you have made a lot of money on the Type 18 spacesuit." When Li Yilong congratulated Lei Jun, his words were a little sour.

Lei Jun smiled: "Mr. Li, if you want to say congratulations, it should be me who congratulates you, right?" Last month's trip to the moon, you made more than 100 billion. ”

"Lunar travel is highly profitable, but it can't compare to your trickle." Li Yilong said, "Mr. Lei, if you want to say that we also have a part of the credit for this, the original development of the Type 18 spacesuit was the ...... we proposed."

"That's, that's ......," said Mr. Lei.

Lei Jun can't help but be happy, in his opinion, the market for functional clothes is no smaller than Polaris. In terms of a single piece, Polaris is more profitable than functional clothes, but from the perspective of demand, it is not as good as functional clothes. Although functional clothes are different from ordinary clothes, they do not go beyond the category of clothes and belong to the luxury goods in the necessities.

Lu Yang knew this result, and also praised Penglai Intelligent Electronics Company, and said that he would increase their year-end bonus, which attracted cheers from the whole company.

Lei Jun is a very business-minded person, he has combined technology and fashion to create a variety of clothing, which is very popular around the world. Not to mention other people, even Lu Yang's family has ordered a lot. As 2019 is about to pass, Penglai Intelligent Electronics Co., Ltd. relies on 14 unique clothes to set off a wave of technology and fashion trends.

Since July last year, Space-1 has transported a total of 200 tons of helium-3 from the moon for Penglai Island, and these helium-3 are used to generate electricity, enough to supply the world's electricity demand for three years!

Helium-3 is not the biggest achievement in the development of the Moon, and thanks to Space-1, which often travels between the Earth and the Moon, and the growing number of satellites outside the Moon, mankind's understanding of the Moon has advanced by leaps and bounds. The International Space Agency (ISA) has set up a department to study how to use the moon more efficiently.

In contrast, Lu Yang's focus is more pure, and what he cares about most is the ecological laboratory of the Xuanyuan Sea base. After investing 62 billion yuan, the area of the Xuanyuan Sea base has expanded to 20 square kilometers, relying on 60 engineering robots, Lu Yang has built a huge ecological laboratory with an area of more than 5 square kilometers in the center of the base. The laboratory is 2,500 meters long, 2,000 meters wide and 60 meters high, which fully meets the conditions for ecological construction in Luyang.

In the next step, Lu Yang plans to create an ecological environment in the laboratory in an artificial way where life on earth can live.

But before that, Lu Yang needs to solve the biggest problem on the moon, the energy problem!

At present, Lu Yang has several ideas for solving the lunar energy source, the first is to build a solar power station on the lunar base, the advantage of this plan is that the technical difficulty is relatively small, and it is relatively economical. With Space One, the construction of a solar power station that can meet the current needs of the moon will not exceed 20 billion yuan. However, its disadvantage is that it does not generate enough electricity to meet long-term demand.

The second option is to transmit energy from the Earth directly to the Moon through a wireless energy transmission tower. Lu Yang is more inclined to this plan in his heart, but the conditions for implementation are not ripe now, because of the rotation of the earth, the position of the points on the earth relative to the moon is constantly changing, unless Lu Yang spreads the wireless energy transmission tower all over the world, he cannot guarantee the stability of energy transmission.

As for the last option, it is to build a nuclear fusion power station on the moon to achieve self-sufficiency on the moon. All things considered, this scheme is quite operable, at least there will be no shortage of helium-3 on the moon.

"Lao Huo, what do you think of the idea of building a nuclear fusion power station on the moon?" Lu Yang thought about it for a long time and decided to ask Huo Sheng's opinion, but his question obviously scared Huo Sheng.

"Build a nuclear power plant on the moon?" Huo Sheng looked confused, "Boss, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Lu Yang shook his head, his expression was very serious.

"But, but...... We don't even have enough experience in building nuclear power plants on Earth, how can we go to the moon? Huo Sheng still couldn't accept it.

Lu Yang smiled and reassured: "Lao Huo, don't be surprised, in fact, our nuclear fusion power station technology is very mature. The biggest difference between building a nuclear power plant on the moon and on Earth is not the technology, but the cost. ”

Huo Sheng was obviously not persuaded by Lu Yang, and shook his head again and again: "Boss, I think you are too optimistic, this is definitely not just a matter of cost!" The environment of the moon is very different from that of the earth, and the safety of nuclear power plants must be ensured in the first place, which requires very rigorous argumentation! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, since I said it, I mean I'm sure." Lu Yang said confidently.

Huo Sheng said helplessly: "Okay then, but boss, does the moon need a nuclear power plant now?" At present, the energy needed on the moon is 160 engineering robots distributed in six bases, and the energy maintenance of six bases, and the power provided by a nuclear power plant far exceeds these needs. Considering the cost, I don't think it's a wise choice. ”

Lu Yang was silent for a moment, what Huo Sheng said was also very reasonable, in the short term, the moon does not have such a high power demand. And the cost of a nuclear fusion power station, taking the nuclear fusion power station under the lighthouse of hope as an example, costs more than 60 billion, nearly 10 billion US dollars, and if it is built on the moon, almost all materials have to be transported from the earth, and this amount of money alone is astronomical.

On the whole, it is not surprising that this investment exceeds 300 billion Luyang.

"You're right, Lao Huo, this project is really not cost-effective." Lu Yang had to say.

When Huo Sheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that Lu Yang insisted on going his own way and insisted on carrying out this project.

"Boss, in fact, the solar power plant is a good choice. Our newly developed solar power generation technology has a conversion rate of more than 50% on the ground and nearly 70% in space, far exceeding the previous technology. I think if we can build a solar power station near the moon base, it will not be a problem to meet the current needs! Huo Sheng suggested.

"It's already 50%?" It was the first time Lu Yang knew about this matter.

"Yes, we have developed a new type of solar panel and are planning to roll it out."

"This is good news, I remember that the conversion rate of monocrystalline solar panels was about 20% before, but I didn't expect you to increase it by 2.5 times all of a sudden." Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "The air on the surface of the moon is thin and close to nothing, the ground and space environments are almost the same, and the solar energy conversion rate of 70% is already ideal." ”

"It is realistic to build at least one solar power station with an annual power generation capacity of 80 billion kWh." Huo Sheng said.

"What do you estimate the cost of this?"

"On Earth, it takes about 20 billion investment, and on the moon, it needs to increase by two to three times. However, compared to nuclear power plants, this is already the most economical option. Huo Sheng estimated, "The annual power generation capacity of 80 billion kWh is enough to meet the needs of the moon in the next 20 years!" (To be continued.) )
