[Chapter 337: Ambitious Mining Plan]
Professor Wan Yuanxi listened to Ren Hong's explanation, he completely ignored the matters mentioned in the discussion of cooperation with the state, and he was only deeply attracted by the concise content of the other party's dictation.
Going from Earth to Mars to another planet for mining is undoubtedly an ambitious mega project and an exciting project for him. But it is not so easy to successfully get from Earth to Mars, and then from Mars to ore and back to Earth, which involves dozens of frontier fields, and the team required to achieve this plan will reach an unprecedented luxury lineup, including astrophysicists, geologists, planetary researchers, astronomers, meteorologists, etc., almost all of them are popular research at the forefront of contemporary science.
There is no doubt that this is inspiring.
"Mr. Ren, you ...... Are you sure this plan is not a joke? Professor Wan Yuanxi couldn't help but ask, he thought in his heart that he must be joking.
Not only Professor Wan Yuanxi, when Ren Hong said this ambitious Mars "mining" plan, every "technical bull" present was extremely shocked. Space exploration is the dream of all mankind, and the concept of space mining has been proposed for a long time, but no one has ever dared to put it into action, because the resistance faced by even one country is difficult to break.
But the young man in front of him, judging from his tone, didn't seem to be just talking casually.
Ren Hong looked at the group of scientists with surprised expressions on their faces, smiled, and said, "As I said, Elon. Musk's dream is to make SpaceX the most popular air transportation company in the entire solar system, then my dream is to have matrix technology spread throughout the solar system, from changing the world to changing the solar system. ”
"That's an exaggeration." Professor Zhang Hexin muttered.
Ren Hong said: "Dreams always need a little exaggerated imagination and a little motivation. The 21st century is the most important stage of the entire human history, and it is another exploratory stage to further release human productivity since the two industrial revolutions, and artificial intelligence, robotics, bioengineering, energy science and technology and other fields are a series of catalysts to release and further promote the overall productivity. This century is another era of great change. ”
Ren Hong fiddled with his hands, paced in front of everyone, pressed his hands down in the air, and continued: "In other words, it is a further increase in resources, in the past, the scope of our intake of resources was only the earth and its orbit, and the area of the earth's orbit is the limit of our human sustainable activities. But this century, the mission of our generation is to further expand the scope of our activities beyond the earth and radiate to the entire solar system. The expansion of the scope of activity means more resources, and at the same time stimulates the further promotion of productive forces, which in turn further enriches the means of production of human beings. ”
"As the saying goes, the goal of mankind is the sea of stars, and Mars is just the beginning." Ren Hong looked at everyone and said.
"And what are your specific plans?" Wan Yuanxi said curiously, others also want to hear it, although the group of scientists who came to Matrix Technology are a few wheels older than Ren Hong, but although Ren Hong is young, he has made more achievements in the scientific community than them, and more importantly, he is the head of Matrix Technology, the richest individual in the world.
Matrix Technologies' ubiquitous top-notch labs and institutes are coveted by scientists and engineers, and these are green bills that need to be spent in vain. Obviously, in order to achieve world-renowned results, money is also an indispensable key factor in addition to one's own profound knowledge.
More knowledgeable than you, richer than you, and it is not normal for others to be unsuccessful. This is undoubtedly the envy of many scientists who are not worth much.
Ren Hong's previous words are typical of the nature of painting a big pie, this kind of colloquial language and urine is the helm of any large company can say fluently, after all, painting a big cake is a necessary skill for the head of every company, Ren Hong is no exception, not only that, the big cake he painted is not an ordinary big pie, but also let the people present listen to a trance, can make these technical bulls have expectations, just because he has money, there is a greater hope than others can be realized.
"Three big steps." Ren Hong raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers, and said, "The first step is to establish a permanent ring orbit platform in the earth's parking orbit; The second step is to open up a 'Earth-Fire' shipping route, and the third step is to establish a Mars base. ”
"I hope to see the amethyrite brought back from Mars in 10 years." Ren Hong finally said.
"Ten years? It's impossible, it's ridiculous to say. Professor Zhang Hexin denied it on the spot: "This is simply impossible to do, and any of these three steps will take ten years or even longer, and may not even be able to be done." ”
Almost all scientists shook their heads in denial, in their opinion, Ren Hong's idea was too naïve, and he simply ignored many objective requirements, and the existing means of production of human beings were simply impossible to realize.
Seeing everyone shaking their heads one by one disapprovingly, Ren Hong stared down at his toes and smiled silently, after a while, he looked up at everyone and said: "The plan also requires some bold imagination, and the three major steps to achieve in ten years seem unattainable, but it is not impossible." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him, only to see Ren Hong pick up the small purple crystal, and said: "Technological progress, chance is also very important, such as it!" With this stone, we have actually solved one of the toughest problems, and as this tough problem is solved, other tricky problems will be solved. ”
Ren Hong held up the small crystal block in his hand and said, "At present, there are only a few resource crystals that can be used for this plan. It occupies a very small space and can store an unimaginably large amount of energy, which means that we have solved the most difficult energy supply problem on the way to Mars. According to the past, in the whole transportation process, fuel occupies a lot of space in the entire spacecraft, and it can completely get rid of this burden, which means that more space, carry more equipment, Amethysis assumes the energy supply center of the entire spacecraft, but only occupies less than 1% of the space, 0.01% of the mass, 90% of the space and mass are used to carry equipment, it is no exaggeration to say that a material supply can do 25 times the amount of conventional supply, We can reach 25 times more than others in one shipment, efficiency and time are undoubtedly the most valuable, and its existence helps us save a lot of time spent on transportation. ”
Speaking of this, Ren Hong looked at a few stunned scientists and said, "Ten years." It's not out of reach, trust me! ”
"yes, it's highly likely." Wan Yuanxi looked at the purple crystal block in his hand and said.
Only then did everyone react, it turned out that their thinking was rigid, and they still stayed on the basis of their original inherent thinking. Nowadays, the existence of amethyst can greatly improve the efficiency of space transportation, which is not comparable to traditional transportation methods. You can transport 25 times as many supplies once as someone else, and the short distance is fine, but the longer the distance, the great benefit is revealed. The long distance between the Earth and Mars means that you can save decades more time than others, the same amount of materials, if the United States needs to separate more than 20 successive supplies, and Matrix Technology only needs to be once, the United States needs decades to send the same amount of materials to Mars, but Matrix Technology only needs one to two years, which is the biggest benefit, and the direct manifestation is a significant increase in efficiency and time savings.
After listening to Ren Hong's explanation, everyone realized that completing three steps in ten years is definitely not an unattainable dream.
"But." Ren Hong suddenly took a turn, he looked at Kang Tao, a representative of the system, and said: "Matrix Technology operates independently, and it will never be possible to do it for ten years." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Kang Tao asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Ren Hong opened his hands and fiddled, "Matrix Technology has never been involved in the field of space exploration, Matrix Technology is a latecomer, if you want to get involved in this field, almost everything has to build a complete set of technology trees from scratch, of course I will not doubt my company's ability to make technological breakthroughs, but this takes time, it takes a lot of time to do something that has already been made by someone, this is a very stupid way." ”
"I don't want to reproduce it myself when humanity has already established a complete technical system, it makes no sense. It's a waste of time for me. Ren Hong looked at everyone, then looked at Kang Tao, and said: "So I hope to cooperate with the China National Space Administration to fully share the existing technology in this field, use the saved time for new technological breakthrough research, and strive to maximize the realization of the 'Mars mining' plan." ”
"Uh......" Kang Tao was stunned for a while when he heard this. He found out that Ren Hong said a lot, and the real focus was on this last paragraph. Feelings: This is the idea of hitting the National Space Administration.
Kang Tao looked at Ren Hong with a harmless and honest appearance, especially when he looked at the thoughtful nodding of several top scientists, and seemed to agree with Ren Hong's statement, which made him can't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and shouted in his heart, How can you be so simple?
The republic has gone through hardships in this field, and after decades of accumulation, it has today's technological heritage, which is fully shared? I really dare to speak.
Kang Tao was amazed, but he didn't object, the most talkative middleman, what he wanted to do was to play the role of matchmaking, although Ren Hong's words were a bit impractical, but no one could guarantee anything, after all, matrix technology is not a conventional technology company, and Ziyuanjing is not an ordinary thing.
Kang Tao pondered for a moment and said, "I will react to this question from above, but since it is cooperation, there should be a preliminary plan, right?" If there is, give me a backup and send it together, so that the superior has a more comprehensive reference when making decisions. ”
"No problem, I'll sort it out and hand it to you as soon as possible." Ren Hong smiled confidently.
