Chapter 121: Global Attention (For the Helmsman Nine Gate Admiral and Zhongtang Addition)
In less than half a day, most of the people in China already know about this new "deep diving" project.
Moreover, many people have deduced from the published information that the entire project is at least 10 billion yuan.
"There are more than 200 units involved in the project, and the expenditure of personnel costs must be a lot, the volume of the mecha itself is huge, and the cost of materials alone is a big number, not to mention the construction of a base for it, as well as the money for various engineering facilities, it is impossible to let such a big guy get drenched in the rain outside, right?"
"So the entire project, the funding is basically more than 10 billion."
This is many times higher than another deep submersible project, the Qianlong.
You must know that when Qianlong was approved for the project, the R&D fund was only 180 million!
Even if inflation is taken into account, Crimson Tempest is many times more expensive.
Compared with these two projects, it is simply a huge gap.
Again, they don't know the true amount of money, otherwise they will only be more surprised.
"Is it really good that so much money is invested in a fifteen-year-old boy and that he is in control?"
"And it's just a deep diving project, is it necessary to spend so much money?"
The whole project looks so magical, it's no wonder the public is not confident.
When they saw the Boxer before, they already thought that such a mecha was extremely large, and it would be difficult to build a mecha larger than it.
As a result, I was suddenly told that this was just a small mecha, and now I had to get a mecha several times larger, which was a real large mecha.
And this large mecha must also have the ability to move in the deep sea of 7,000 meters......
Seven thousand meters underwater, what kind of concept is that?
The Qianlong has been studying for so many years, and it has only put down a deep submersible that is less than ten meters long, and now it has to put a large mecha that is more than seventy meters long and has a completely irregular shape?
And this project is still hosted by a 15-year-old teenager, even if it is a genius teenager......
When these factors come together, it's hard to be confident.
They haven't read the full technical information of Crimson Tempest, and besides, even if they do, most people can't understand it at all!
All they knew was the twenty-five letters on the keyboard, except for the "b".
The online buzz grew stronger and stronger, and the news soon drifted across the ocean and reached all over the world.
To be honest, like the people at home, the first reaction of the media in other countries when they see this news is - is this fake news?
Some newspapers are still checking the country, and the tabloids can't wait to publish the news.
"Oriental genius has received strong support and is in charge of tens of billions of scientific research projects!"
"It's crazy, in the next ten years, there will be a mecha like this!"
"The future of mechs is in the deep sea?"
"At the age of 15, he did something that no one else could do in his lifetime!"
Various reports filled people's attention in an instant, and within a few hours, the matter had become a global hot topic.
After verification, the world's authoritative media came to a true conclusion and released the news.
With the endorsement of these media, the public has basically determined-
It's true!
"Look at other people's countries? How much do you value talent? Before the age of 15, you can already become the chief designer of a 10 billion project! Look at our country again? ”
"Others have already achieved so much at the age of 15, and if you look at the teenagers in our country, many people are still thinking about how to cheat on exams when they are 15 years old! It's time to reflect on this! ”
"You're talking about teenagers who only include men! You're discriminating! ”
"Our education is destroying our next generation!"
"Our country will never produce such a genius, those people will only look at your skin color and family!"
President Eddie, Mike's home.
As usual, he planned to brush up on the technology news before going to sleep, and he saw Chen Shen's news.
He watched the news and fell silent.
"At least 10 billion dollars? What kind of monster was I fighting before? ”
10 billion yuan is not a lot of money, and his company's annual research funding is far more than this, but this kind of thing depends on who the funder is.
Can official funding be the same as his private contribution?
This incident has attracted a lot of attention, and many countries have begun to pay close attention to this incident.
The current Chen Shen and Crimson Storm project seem to be the center of the world.
Countless people want to unravel the mystery of this project and see what the mech hidden behind the project looks like.
Even Xie Yiyi, who has never cared about online remarks, was shocked and made a special call.
"Is that project said online real? I think a lot of people are talking about it. ”
"Of course it's true."
"A big mecha more than seventy meters tall, how tall is that?"
Xie Yiyi counted with his fingers, and soon came to the conclusion that if calculated by three meters per floor, the mecha must be as tall as a 25-story building!
"How much does it cost?" She sighed.
"Anyway, it's enough for you to eat chicken legs for a lifetime!" Chen Shen teased.
"So this project is going to take a long time, right? Will you be able to come back for Chinese New Year this year? ”
"If you want to see me, just come over during the summer vacation."
"Can I still go in then?"
"It's not a big problem, the living and working areas of the base will be separated at that time."
Chen Shen chatted with Xie Yiyi for a while, and just hung up the phone and received a call from his father and mother.
The things asked were the same as Xie Yiyi's, they were all surprised by the Crimson Storm project.
Chen Shen had never revealed any news about this project to them, and now he suddenly heard that his son was in charge of a 10-billion-level project, which made them feel like they were dreaming.
"Now there are so many people who want to interview us, and we have received more than a dozen calls in one morning, all of which we have refused."
"If such a big project can be passed, it means that you are very trusted, so don't care too much about what the outside world says about you, what they say will not affect you, just do your own research."
Regarding his parents' concern, Chen Shen was ambiguous in his heart, "Don't worry, I don't care much about things on the Internet, and it is impossible to be influenced by them." ”
If it weren't for his idleness, he really didn't read much of the comments on the Internet.
Isn't the neural network algorithm he's working on right now much more interesting than those people's words?
Or look at the system panel in a daze, the R&D progress is gratifying at a rising speed, not as happy as watching sand sculpture netizens?
Now the system panel shows that the research and development progress has advanced to 25%, which is like riding a rocket.
Tsk, those people on the Internet are just leeks that have been cut and don't know it.
