Chapter 589: Strategic Fool
The meeting officially began.
Standing in front of the podium, the spokesmen of the ministry read out the main contents of the meeting.
He didn't have to wait long, and Lu Zhou soon heard the part he was curious about.
First of all, in terms of funding, the national annual space project budget will be increased from 14 billion yuan to 30 billion RMB.
In fact, this part has little to do with private enterprises, and the benefits are mainly in state-owned enterprises.
At present, although private enterprises have also mastered certain launch technologies of their own, such as the high-thrust rockets used in the lunar landing project, even if the relevant policies have been liberalized, the general private enterprises do not have the capital and courage to play, and it is unlikely that they will work thanklessly to make that technical reserve.
It is precisely for this reason that when the speaker explained the first policy, the expression of most people in the room was a lack of interest.
But when the speaker spoke about the second policy, everyone was in the spirit.
That is, in order to promote the development of the aerospace industry and the moon landing project, enterprises that invest in the domestic aerospace industry will enjoy tax incentives in other domestic businesses.
To put it simply, if an enterprise spends 30 million yuan to release satellites, as long as Party B undertakes the launch task is an enterprise in China and the launch task is completed in China, then it can get 30 million yuan in tax deduction for other business operations of the parent company.
Even for big taxpayers such as Penguin and Ali, who pay 100 million a day, the temptation of this. The power of confusion is also considerable.
They themselves have a business need to launch satellites, and now the state has almost completely waived their launch costs in the form of tax breaks. Although this is not a direct subsidy from the state, it is no different from a direct subsidy.
When the spokesman explained the second policy, Lu Zhou could clearly observe that whether it was a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, the representatives of the enterprises in the venue were all like doping, their faces were full of red light, and their eyes flashed with fiery light.
So much so that when the spokesman interpreted the third policy, no one paid much attention to it.
In fact, the third policy really has nothing to pay attention to, it is just a verbal promise with legal effect.
That is, for a period of 10 years, enterprises, research units or individuals that establish permanent or semi-permanent scientific research stations on the moon will enjoy the concession right of 70 years or more for the resources that have occupied the lunar surface, and at the same time enjoy tax exemptions and exemptions for space-related projects such as scientific research, tourism, and space resource exploitation.
And this right will be guaranteed by the Chinese authorities.
When the speaker finished his last sentence, a whisper suddenly sounded in the room.
Compared to the first piece of cake that is basically inedible and the third is an illusory promise, the second proposal is undoubtedly much more tempting for most companies here.
If they can pass on the costs of launching satellites to the taxes they should have paid, it is almost equivalent to reducing the cost of launching satellites to a fairly low level.
Of course, the third promise is not entirely unattractive, although it is difficult to say what the situation will be in ten years, but even if it is just an illusory promise, after being fully interpreted by the capital market, it will bring them a considerable degree of benefit.
China will make big moves in the field of aerospace, and they are participants.
These few sentences alone are enough to give investors with money in their hands a space to let their imaginations run wild......
Like these entrepreneurs, Lu Zhou was also very surprised by the policies that the state came up with.
It's just that what surprised him was not in the magnitude of the policy, but in other aspects......
"Is the high-level planning to use the space strategy to contain the United States?"
Hearing this, Xu Yuanming's reaction was greater than Lu Zhou's, and he looked at him with a surprised expression.
"I thought Professor Lu didn't study the international situation at all."
Looking at Xu Yuanming's surprised expression, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "Whether you have research or not and whether you don't understand are two different things, there are some things that I am not very interested in, but it doesn't mean that I don't understand." ”
Xu Yuanming smiled and said, "Is that the case?" You're only half right, though. There is nothing false about the fact that the moon landing program has indeed risen to the level of national strategy. However, in making this deployment, we do have other expectations for it. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Yuanming put on a serious look and continued.
"At present, according to our understanding, countries including the United States, Russia, and the European Union have determined a clear technical roadmap and started to promote their own controllable fusion demonstration reactor projects. We don't know their progress yet, but as you said, with enough determination, maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, they will catch up with us. ”
"Out of strategic considerations, in order to contain our opponents, the House of Elders decided to pull our opponents into a new battlefield while promoting the construction of domestic fusion reactors and cross-regional power grid projects."
Lu Zhou: "This battlefield is space? ”
Xu Yuanming nodded solemnly: "That's right." ”
All the clues were connected, and Lu Zhou finally understood the true intentions of the high-level.
No technology in the information age can be kept secret forever, and with the foundation accumulated by Western countries in the previous industrial revolutions, it may not take long to catch up.
Knowing that the technology cannot be kept secret forever, in order to maximize its national interests, China naturally hopes to delay the acquisition of this technology by other countries.
Pulling an opponent from one race to another will undoubtedly have such an effect.
As Secretary Xu said, in the long run, the moon landing is necessary, but it is not urgent, or it is not the moon landing project itself.
The real purpose of this measure is not to imprint the footprints of the Chinese on the surface of the moon, but to contain the strategic center of gravity of Europe, the United States, Russia and other countries.
In this way, this is probably a trick.
It is estimated that it will cooperate with the high-profile project of the second-generation fusion plan and play a set of combination punches about helium-3.
And now, Lu Zhou finally understands the reason why his proposal to establish an eastern industry-research consortium and the plan for the second-generation controllable fusion technology can be passed so quickly and in a high profile......
I am afraid that when I was still lying on the hospital bed, the high-level management had already held a meeting to discuss a rough idea.
It's high.
It's really high......
Although there was a feeling of being used as a gun, Lu Zhou couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
Of course, although this trick has its cleverness, it is not easy to achieve the expectations of strategic containment.
With China's current level of rocket launches, it is still catching up with the footsteps of the United States and the Soviet Union in the 60s, and even if NASA's space program is cut again and again by Congress, it is still not easy to catch up with and surpass the old space powers.
To put it bluntly, before sending people to the moon, even if you shout that you want to engage in space strategy, develop lunar resources, and pave the way for the second-generation fusion project, even if NASA pretends to cooperate with you in singing this drama to the congressional masters, others may not pay attention to you.
So......
This requires a big man with strong academic prestige to come out and give the space program a platform.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but cry and laugh a little.
Is this going to make him a away game?
But he really plans to get a manned landing on the moon......
After holding it in his stomach for a while, Lu Zhou couldn't help but ask.
"Are you going to let me be the chief designer of this aerospace project?"
"This ...... It still depends on your personal wishes, although I think it is more appropriate for you to sit in this position, but if you really don't have time," Xu Yuanming smiled embarrassedly, "It's always okay to hang up a virtual position as a general consultant, right?" ”
Looking at Xu Yuanming's smiling expression, Lu Zhou sighed and said, "I don't have any opinions, but I'm afraid I can only hang a post." Also, if you plan to publish some misleading articles or papers in my name, I'm afraid I can't help with that. ”
As a scholar, he still has his own bottom line.
He will spare no effort to insist on what he believes to be the truth, and even if it is wrong in the end, it is an honest error, not a fraud with a clear conscience. In the same way, for what he does not approve, he will not speak of black as white with his conscience.
If a scholar is not in pursuit of truth, is he still a scholar?
Then it will be a government. Guest......
Xu Yuanming said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will not make any public remarks in your name." Your academic reputation is also our honor and pride, and this will never change. ”
"Okay, if you think it's okay, I'll be the chief consultant," Speaking of this, Lu Zhou also joked in passing, "By the way, since I'm the general consultant, do you want to consider the mass projector I said?" ”
Hearing Lu Zhou mention this matter again, Xu Yuanming coughed dryly and said, "This...... Even if I agree, it's useless. Ever heard of the National Orbit Facility? ”
Lu Zhou: "I've heard a little bit. ”
"There's not much publicity in the media about this, and in fact, the mass projection device you are talking about is actually similar to that country's orbit facility. The project passed the technical feasibility study a long time ago, but guess which link it ended up in. ”
Lu Zhou: "Funding approval? ”
"Yes, this project was finally killed by the development and reform side," Xu Yuanming nodded, "The budget is two trillion, this is just the budget, and no one knows how much it will cost in the end...... Do you think it's worth it? ”
Sure enough, Lu Zhou could guess with his feet, and in the end he must have been stuck in this link.
It's just two trillion......
Even if there is an academician platform, these people can really open this mouth.
The 27 new high-speed rail projects from 18 years last year to 19 years last year add up to only one trillion.
If you use this money to build the railway, you don't know where you can pave the high-speed rail......
