"So it's not a technical issue, it's an economic one, right?"

Seryov muttered to himself, this situation has been experienced too much for him, and it is easy to accept.

In fact, he is also very clear about Xinyuan's financial situation, "Shanhai" is in charge of all the secrets of Xinyuan, and executives can inquire about the real income and expenditure status of each year.

On the whole, Xinyuan Aerospace Power is actually in a situation where the income is barely passable, and the research funds that account for the largest proportion of other organizations do not cost much for the base, but because they want to integrate into the society, various expenditures are still a lot, and Xinyuan has always been more generous to suppliers.

The income of tourist flights is quite considerable, almost able to maintain daily operations, but there are relatively few orders for satellite launches, first of all, there are various factors in the international market that are more difficult to accept, and secondly, there is a lot of domestic competition.

The space agency now has recyclable rockets, several private aerospace companies rely on buying, buying, buy

The direct income of the aerospace sector is only tourist flights, the sale of some spare parts and the licensing of patents, and life is still passable.

The real large expenditure mainly relies on Xin'an Automobile and Yellow River Semiconductor, the former's 2016 annual financial report has not yet come out, but after retaining the necessary funds for Xin'an, it should be no problem to send less than 10 billion funds to the base.

Xin'an is now in a period of rapid expansion, and it stands to reason that it should not pay dividends, and only the base needs funds, and the other major shareholder, Nanfang Motor, is still stable, and they regard Xin'an more as a backhand and a source of new technology, and they do not mean to take money in a hurry.

The Yellow River Semiconductor and the ternary technology it has mastered are still in a state of loss for the time being, but as long as the ternary ecology is established, it will inevitably be a profiteering industry.

Coupled with the technical advantages mastered by the base, it is optimistic that it will be able to get two or three billion yuan of funds every year without affecting the operation.

Even if we don't, we still have 10 billion yuan in incentive research funds settled in fiscal 2016, so we still have 20 billion yuan in disposable cash flow.

However, to maintain the operation of a base with more than 8,000 people, the daily cost is also astronomical, and there are various construction plans, so it can only be said that there will be no new big moves this year, which is quite abundant.

The 5 billion investment of the circumlunar space station can be completed in three or five months at the speed of Xinyuan, and it will not take more than half a year at most, which is a great interference with the expenditure plan.

Lin Ju ran to the Aviation Development Commission all day long, and many times he was thinking about how to expand the scale of the aerospace market, and only by cultivating the market could he obtain funds from it.

The popularity of space tourism is destined to slowly decline with the service of various spacecraft of other players in the world, and rich people can't spend millions of dollars every year just to go up and walk around, which is different from buying a luxury house and a luxury car, it is a real money to spend money rather than an investment, and it is too frequent and cannot be consumed.

Cultivating the market is also equivalent to tapping the market, and these billionaires who are willing to spend millions or tens of millions of dollars will become customers who can spend millions, hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars after their business is done.

Every time the funds are lowered, the number of people will expand by more than ten times or even dozens of times, so that profits can be maintained or even increased.

However, there is a premise that the cost of the entire aerospace industry must be reduced first, otherwise it will destroy the market and become a public enemy of the industry, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The export of technology and finished products is not for charity, just as the various aids provided by developed countries to the Third World are actually aimed at cultivating local consumption power first, dumping industrial products, achieving a monopoly position at the top, and obtaining the greatest benefits.

Looking at the world, too, we can't show that our peers can't even see the taillights and are desperate to catch up, but we must guide them to desperately spend money and marketize, create demand first, and then use it as a driving force to move forward.

If these inside stories are made public, I am afraid that the outside world can understand the huge pressure that Xinyuan is under all the time, and be moved by Mr. Lin's forbearance and humiliation, right?

Lin Ju was a little cheeky when he thought of this, and he lost his mind for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Ahem, if you want to build a space station around the moon, this requirement must be met, and our vision cannot stop at the moon, so the basic investment of 5 billion cannot be less.

But this year, unless you find a new source of income or get project funds from the state, you can't carry out, I have decided to develop the robot project this year, which will require an investment of about 5 to 1 billion, and the system funds can solve half of it, but I really can't carry out big projects anymore. ”

Ye Changsi: "So the space station around the moon will either not be done, or it will be a good one, but if it doesn't work, it will only send a simple space station of about 15 tons, and the launch cost cannot cost more than 200 million." ”

Seryov nodded solemnly, this year's budget has been planned, and it is indeed difficult to add other plans.

Wait, that's about the off-base family area......

But before he could figure out what to say, Lin Ju inadvertently solved the problem.

"Hey...... Scientific research is to spend money, but fortunately, there are also those that do not cost money, last time I met Boss Xu in the capital, he gave me a few villas in the city.

I'm going to give it to other executives and senior technicians, and although we don't care about living conditions, normal people still need to be treated decently. ”

After Lin Ju finished speaking, Ye Changsi had no different opinions, he was now interested in the starry sky and physics, but Seryov reacted a little unnaturally.

"Actually...... I'm also a normal person. ”

Lin Ju: ?

……

"Let's go, it's not enough for you to scourge once, the good working robots of Warrior One have been turned into steel soldiers by you, and we still have to find a way to write a restriction program, do you know how much work is involved?"

"Don't, don't limit it, we just want this."

Major Yao, who was in charge of the defense work near the base, was pushed out by Zhang Yu, the current head of the base's microelectronics department, but his body was still standing in place like the iron tower, making the latter a little helpless.

It wasn't all Major Yao's fault to secretly add private goods to the "brave" learning library, Zhang Yu was also happy to collect the movement data of excellent soldiers at that time, and the guards around the base were all members of the Secret Service, and the reliability was also guaranteed, and it was not said that it was limited to learning only sports data.

Therefore, after the military quietly instilled all kinds of military knowledge into "bravery" on a whim, Zhang Yu could not have a seizure, because cooperation is not a violation and ...... This data happens to be hard to come by in the base, and they are also very interested in researching it.

The two sides did not talk for a few minutes, and then moved on to the topic.

Yao Ke: "Although the activity time of Warrior 1 is not yet ready for actual combat, we hope that it can be militarized training, and if there is a breakthrough in battery technology in the future, it can be converted into combat effectiveness immediately." ”

At the time of the air show, the military was still waiting and seeing the Warrior 1 and the "brave" AI, and the capabilities shown at that time were actually similar to the research being carried out by the military, but there was some interest in learning AI.

But after the microelectronics department applied for a huge amount of data to study, the progress of "Brave" was amazing, and it reached an unimaginable speed.

According to the military's internal calculations, if a squad of eight soldiers is equipped with one Warrior No. 1, the comprehensive combat capability can be increased by more than 50%, and the casualty rate can be reduced by up to 80%.

A lot of dangerous but limited tasks that must be completed with soldiers can be handed over to robots, and it is also a serious blow to the morale of the enemy.

After all, no matter how expensive robots are, as long as the factory is running, the energy will be continuously produced, and it will take at least twelve years for the Boy Scouts, how many humans are willing to trade their lives with a ball of steel?

Zhang Yu: "I'm afraid this will have to be reported to the high-level, in fact, you said earlier, we can divide the 'brave' into two paths earlier." ”

Yao Ke: "But it is precisely with the shot of Warrior No. 1 that we have applied for up to 1 billion yuan in funding for this project, and we can add it indefinitely."

The tactical and strategic value of Warrior One is beyond your imagination, and it's not just about replacing soldiers and sending lives. ”

Zhang Yu: "Okay, you can apply directly to the company, you can go first." ”

Yao Ke: "Let's go?" But what I saw was that you were about to do the Warrior No. 1 walking and movement training, isn't it a secret, aren't we usually doing it together? ”

Zhang Yu: "It's true that there are no secrets, but I still don't recommend you to sit by." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yao Ke's eyes were attracted by Warrior No. 1, who had already started training, but this time the training ground was not a variety of obstacles, but a flat ground.

Warrior One walked to the center, then jumped lightly and straddled his waist, his head lowered, his upper body leaned down and twisted in an extremely bewitching position, and the joints that wrapped around his thighs were pushed back and up.

This is the opening move of the Korean style of hot dance.

Yao Ke was stunned to watch Warrior No. 1 dance in place with all kinds of sultry moves that only appeared in the MV of the girl group, and the steel body of more than 200 kilograms twisted around smartly, as if he was possessed by a member of the girl group.

"This, that's part of the training?"

Zhang Yu's face was expressionless: "The Qianqian space station has gravity, and the gravitational environment will produce a lot of physiological needs, which must be taken into account in the months-long life or voyage.

So one of the directions of 'bravery' is to relieve loneliness, and we are verifying that feasibility. The Food & Health division is developing skin-like haptic materials, which are a high-priority project at the site. ”

Yao Ke opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and walked out of the base in silence with an indescribable expression on his face.

It's just that when he recalled the strong contrast between Warrior No. 1's enchanting materials and his steel body, Yao Ke couldn't help but get goosebumps.

He hadn't seen anything in the ten years since he joined the army, but the use of the most expensive intelligent machinery for the most primitive human desires was indeed beyond his imagination.
