Chapter 157: Actively Preparing and Dispatching Troops
Four hours passed, and the wonderful debate finally came to an end, Cao Chuan glanced at the final result, "This is the result of the balance between departments, okay, below, we still have half a year to prepare, ready, ready to land on Jupiter in a big way!" ”
With Cao Chuan's final summary, the general meeting of all staff ushered in applause and the end, the Jupiter development plan decided at this meeting is finally no longer a paper obscenity, but a practical implementation, becoming the focus of their development in the next few years, but if you want to develop such a planet, it will take a long time to prepare for it, and you have to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources.
"A conservative estimate is that the number of direct employees involved will reach 200, and the number of non-regular employees will reach 5,000, plus 50,000 immigrants in the early stage. It's the equivalent of building another 024 port on Jupiter. ”
"In terms of material resources, at least 4 joint production workshops must be mobilized in the initial stage to prepare more than 100,000 tons of materials, and in order to maintain the development speed of this scale, mining vehicles, engineering vehicles, maintenance robots, transport vehicles, etc. are indispensable, and the number will exceed 1,000."
"The investment in financial resources is equivalent to 300 billion currency, in addition, the owner has to issue corresponding merit awards for active performance in the exploration of Jupiter, and the total expenditure may exceed 500 billion."
Nana listed the price that the East Galaxy Company had to pay for this, even if it was a country at the level of a free beacon country, it would be broken up for several years, and it would still be nerve-wracking in the face of the financial allocation figure of 100 billion yuan, not to mention the East Galaxy Company.
However, Cao Chuan believes that the employees who are completely driven by the dream of planet development, even if the cost will be a little high, the results they will reap later will be quite good, and in addition, he also thinks of many ways to reduce the burden, so that the investment is not too large.
For example, starting some new technologies, although the proportion of helium in Jupiter's atmosphere accounts for 25%, resulting in helium-3 reserves are tens of thousands of times more than that of the moon, in recent years, the energy consumption of East Galaxy Company is also soaring at a rate of more than 100% per year.
The research department is currently solving the technical task of refining helium-3 in Jupiter's atmosphere, while Cao Chuan himself is working on several key technologies that have been promised by several other research departments.
The first is the fusion energy technology of deuterium and tritium, deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen, and the conditions for their fusion energy to occur are far higher than the requirements of helium's isotope helium-3, so human beings initially explored fusion energy from helium-3, and as their fusion energy technology application is further matured, the study of fusion energy of deuterium and tritium will make the total amount of energy available to them more than 100 times.
If the above technology will definitely be put into production in the short term, the latter technology may be used in the next 10 years, that is, fast fusion.
To put it simply, fast fusion is to make the fusion energy more intense in a limited environment, so as to output more energy per unit time, and if it is not well controlled, it is equivalent to directly dropping a nuclear bomb, as for the purpose of researching this technology, it is to meet the further requirements of spacecraft for spacecraft speed, so that the speed is faster and the acceleration is higher, you must know that the speed target of their future spacecraft is 10,000, 100,000 km/s, only to achieve such a degree, It would be possible for the spacecraft to travel through a vast empty space of light years between galaxies to reach another star.
The next one, a technology that may not be used for 100 years, is a small gift to the research department, and it will also become one of the miracles of Scientology, a fusion creation that can be called scientific alchemy.
The raw materials for fusion energy are usually hydrogen and helium, and the highest is the level where the number of atoms does not exceed the level of iron, because if the elements above are fused, they will not produce excess energy, but will consume energy, so how about thinking differently, if you don't use fusion energy to generate electricity, but use fusion energy to create matter?
It may sound like a technology for converting energy and matter, but compared to the incredibly expensive use of protons and neutrons to bombard other elements in the laboratory to create new elements, it is still far from being practical.
"It's these three technologies... In addition, other departments may encounter more problems, perhaps, when the time comes, to solve, these three technologies alone are enough to occupy my rule simulation time in the second half of the year. ”
If improving productivity through technological leaps and increasing their Jupiter development to generate more income is an open-source measure, by further increasing the range of merit available, consuming the merit that is distributed is a measure to throttle.
"When the time comes, what will it look like to divide Europa, Europa, Callisto, and Europa into eight points, discuss with the development department, and have a Callisto Archon worth 10 million merits, it's really touching to think about it."
"In addition, there is more land on Europa that can be 'divided', and I remember that many employees in the company dreamed of owning a large enough area to run their own farms, which was never approved because of the harsh environment of the moon, but it was possible on Callisto."
So while Cao Chuan was actively preparing for the development of Jupiter, the rest of the departments finally determined the candidates to be sent, and they shouldered the mission and high hopes of the department, and they would make great achievements in the development of Jupiter at that time.
They all understand that at the all-staff meeting, the dust settles on the interests of various departments, which only represents a temporary solution, and if they perform better in Jupiter's development, they will definitely strive for more benefits and benefits.
Xu Bochen is a rare person with a solid technical foundation and a special role who is also his own person in the exploration department. Therefore, the Jupiter exploration was initiated and coordinated by the exploration department, and Xu Bochen was pushed out, and a talent like him was able to face the various crises that may be encountered in the exploration of Jupiter, as well as deal with the challenges from multiple departments, and ensure the smooth progress of the development plan at that time, which can be said to be the key person in the plan.
Next, Cao Chuan tracked the progress of Jupiter's exploration plan according to his work report.
