Chapter 626: Friendly Match

Many popular crowdfunding projects can reach the level of tens of millions in one day, and surprisingly, the Antarctic people who are very good at playing actually only achieved more than 1 million on the first day of crowdfunding. Rivals in Japan and Korea can breathe a sigh of relief.

Several partners of Panda Capital met together to discuss whether to invest in the Solomon Islands Underwater City project.

The reason for the initiation of this symposium is very simple, Panda Capital has already made a lot of money by investing in Phantom Mirror, so why should it support the project of the Antarctic people who brought good luck to themselves, right?

A partner asked Lin Mao: "Xiaolin, you are familiar with cyborgs, what is the news?" Did they ask us to help? If we need to, we'll all work together. ”

Kobayashi said absentmindedly: "I asked a long time ago, and I said that it was casual, people are high-tech groups that can drill through 2,000 meters of ice, so let's not worry about it, I dare to say that cyborg will never lose to the enthusiastic Japanese and Koreans." ”

Chairman of Panda Capital: "In this way, I am also optimistic, I will invest 100 million, my personal, what do you plan?" ”

The boss spoke, everyone nodded their heads, and some partners suggested that since everyone agreed, then go up to the company level and discuss whether the company should focus on this sci-fi real estate project this year.

Chairman Pang Feiwen suggested: "The company, the Phantom Mirror Company is very healthy, it is better to invest a little more, I suggest to invest 1 billion, if everyone agrees, my 100 million will be exempted, or I personally have to invest a little more, what do we do with venture capital?" Of course, it's high-tech, and what could be more high-tech than a cyborg project? So, I'm personally very optimistic. ”

Generally speaking, the boss waits for everyone to speak almost before he summarizes it, but I didn't expect the boss to be so excited today, and he looked like "I have to vote".

Xue Xianzong, CEO of Phantom Mirror: "Boss, is it a little more?" I see ......"

Pang Feiwen shook his head: "No more, no more, because this investment is securitized, we can sell the market halfway, the risk and capital occupy not much time, and we can even use the house purchase voucher to mortgage to take out a loan." So, 1 billion is really not much. ”

When Lin Mao heard this, he made a decision, and suddenly said: "I will pledge my Phantom Mirror Company stock, who will lend me 500 million?" ”

One of the partners laughed, "What? Do you have a good project? ”

Lin Mao: "No, I'm just ...... I want to buy house vouchers and rental vouchers for undersea cities. ”

Even the radical Pang Boss was taken aback: "Crazy about you? Such a single gamble! ”

Lin Mao: "It's nothing, anyway, I don't have to worry about eating or drinking, everything I have is given by cyborgs, what else can I do if I don't support them, my intuition tells me that I must support!" I'm also middle-class if I lose, what am I afraid of? ”

Lin Mao's statement is very powerful, the company's investment of 1 billion is set, however, no one has 500 million to lend him, a partner promised to help him contact the bank, and it is no problem to borrow money as collateral from the shares of Phantom Mirror Company.

The crowdfunding of Antarctic Underwater City has been sluggish for the first three days, more than 1 million per day, and at this rate, even if it is 100 consecutive days, it is only 100 million, which is still a Qing Dynasty treasure banknote, far from the 500 million US dollars in Japan and Goryeo. The Japanese and Koreans seemed to see the dawn of their own victory.

Unexpectedly, on the fourth day, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the panda capital, which had invested in Guangzhou Phantom Mirror Company, smashed a lot of money, and officially announced that it would buy 500 million Solomon Submarine City house purchase vouchers and another 500 million rental vouchers, which ignited public opinion at once, uproar, horror, and 1 billion more funds at once.

On the same day, stimulated by the good news, the funds raised soared to 5 million.

Seeing the rapid upward momentum, global capital strongly recommended that Solomon Seabed's financing be opened to more countries, and more than a dozen venture capitalists expressed their investment intentions.

The countries of the Security Council felt a chill, the capitalists are really not things, they are the ball traitors of the earth. However, this cannot be said, it is not good for humans to go to war with cyborgs and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two races.

A French critic said: "Look at these fools, they are using the wealth of mankind to build luxurious tombs for mankind." ”

Sure enough, the project was open to most countries, and hot money poured in, and the amount of financing skyrocketed every day, with an average of $100 million a day to buy what seemed like a dream in the air.

Soon, the 15 countries of the Security Council gathered together to warm up, announcing that each country would contribute $500 million to jointly build an undersea city, and use $7.5 billion to strongly block the Solomon Undersea City project.

However, these 15 countries are not very efficient, and they cannot even decide whether to build in the Pacific or the Atlantic.

……

A cloud of blue light flickered, and Saber turned into a human form and came to Lin Mao, making the latter frightened, and said, "Oh, Lord Saber, what wind blew you here?" ”

Saber has changed from an ice sculpture to a beautiful girl, and said quietly: "I come to thank you for your support of our Solomon Underwater City, for our project, you actually took out a loan from the bank to buy a house purchase voucher, I can tell you, your investment may not necessarily be profitable." ”

Lin Mao was startled: "Don't scare me, that ...... Should I invest in a hurry? ”

Saber smiled faintly: "This is up to you, but in order to thank you for your support, we have decided to appoint you as the project manager to determine a design plan for this project, how about this honor?" ”

Lin Mao was overjoyed: "Excellent, excellent! Very honored! ”

In terms of design, the Japanese are pioneers, and they have long planned to build such an undersea city, and it is a research and development project with the participation of the University of Tokyo. Humans love sunlight, and their designs must have sunlight, so they designed the roof of the building that opens onto the sea – a giant ball.

This sphere undertakes the task of the main residential, commercial, and living quarters, and a huge spiral below the sea surface supports the sphere. Due to the elasticity of the spiral, it is resistant to earthquakes.

In bad weather, the ball can also shrink to the bottom of the sea, where, in addition to having a scaffolding structure, it uses carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and methane from microorganisms as fuel, which has achieved maximum energy use.

The diameter of the large sphere reaches 500 meters, and the spiral body varies from 1,000 meters to several kilometers, depending on the seabed environment. There is no doubt that such a high altitude is enough to use the temperature difference of seawater to generate electricity, further solving the city's energy problem.

This design has a relatively first-mover advantage, and the University of Tokyo and Shimizu Construction have been developing it for them for a long time, and the government has been involved in it a lot, so it has naturally become the preferred solution of the human participating countries.

The Japanese government has been touting their plan every day, and it has become the most exposed plan.

However, Lin Mao, a seemingly useless project manager, listened to the opinions of a large number of people because he did not understand, and believed that safety and reliability were the lifeblood of the undersea city, and emphasized this when bidding for the bid.

Moreover, given that the financial strength is likely to be inferior to that of human players, he also tried to advise architects not to engage in too fancy schemes.

Because of these two factors, the final choice of this project manager was ...... Hornet's nest.

The building is based on a regular hexagon, and a honeycomb skeleton with a side length of 5, 10, 15, and 20 meters is built on the seabed, which only plays a fixed role and is not waterproof.

The waterproof room is exactly these 4 scales of bee rooms, and the safety consideration is that each of these bee rooms can be waterproof separately, even if one of the bee rooms has a problem, it will not affect the other rooms.

In this undersea city, the prediction that Tesla's CEO said that "manned driving is illegal" has finally been realized, because car accidents are absolutely not allowed here, so as not to affect the fragile undersea ecology, although there is already a very safe isolation structure.

Similarly, this underwater city also uses the temperature difference of seawater to generate electricity, and when the seawater circulates, it drives the elevator up and down to a height of 2,200 meters. The depth of the site determined by the cyborg's initial expedition has been determined.

There is a large vertical take-off and landing aircraft platform on the sea, and the people of the participating countries of mankind feel that such a platform may not be able to take off and land most of the mainline aircraft, is it possible that the transportation of Solomon Submarine City depends on cruise ships?

They didn't know about the existence of super batteries, which would allow helicopters with vertical take-off and landing to cross oceans, and that small aircraft could become the main means of transportation in the future.

But Lin Mao still found that the performance of the electric helicopter that Zhou Jun bought was not good, and the speed was only 200 km/h, which was really not enough compared to the mainstream trunk aircraft of 700 to 800 km/h, so Lin Mao asked Saber if there was any way to improve the electric aircraft.

This is easy to do, just replace the helicopter with a propeller, and the electric plane does not need a huge air intake, and the aerodynamics can be designed more reasonably, maybe it can reach the level of 700 km / h. The weight of the super battery is negligible compared to the monster of large airplanes whose fuel can account for 2/3 of the total weight.

This equates to a saving of 2/3 of the total weight, which is a huge amount. After Lin Mao knew this simple data, he felt that the Antarctic state monopoly on the aviation industry might be possible, and Boeing and Airbus would shudder when they knew the bad news.

But cyborg is a strange existence, obviously has this potential, and always doesn't let go of it, Saber's response made Lin Mao speechless: "What are we doing with our money?" ”

After thinking for a long time, Lin Mao said, "So what is the Phantom Mirror makeup service for?" Isn't it to make a lot of money? ”

Saber: "Oh, it seems that they are making money, then we don't dare to lag behind, and I immediately applied to the ruling committee to enter the aviation industry." ”

Cyborg has a tradition, once a family enters a certain industry of the human race, then others don't fight, if the industry is too important, you can apply to the ruling committee for direct management, such as: the fate of the magic mirror.
