The significance of this analysis is mainly to assess how much resources Aramco can devote to space, and some economists have argued that such endless inflation will either be a mega-financial crisis or a federal financial bankruptcy.

Such a conclusion made everyone in the know tremble, and they did not dare to imagine how much impact this would have on the world economy.

"Don't worry about them, I really don't believe that there are those wolves in Birch Street in China who understand MMT."

Lin Ju was not very moved, and the scale of Aramco's water release in 2024 has reached the level of transformation, which is even more serious than the think tank said.

In addition to the AI craze at the time to attract hot money, Aramco's bankers also contributed to it, and it turned out that no one knew how to suck blood better than Aramco.

Of course, in addition to these reasons, there are other reasons why he firmly believes that Ami will never fall:

"Even if it really happens, Ami and we will never be the ones to be hurt."

Zhong Cheng pondered the meaning of this sentence, and after understanding it, he suddenly felt a terrifying malice.

The crisis does not disappear in a vacuum, it only shifts.

As long as the banner of defending human civilization is pulled out, as long as it is on the sidelines, Aramco will have the ability to regulate and control the situation other than economic means.

Even more extreme, as long as the two superblocs reach an agreement, even the Third World War can be suppressed.

Lin Ju nodded kindly, there is no need for the base to participate in these things, in fact, in the previous exchanges with Ye Changsi and others, everyone agreed that the base will remain quite independent in the future and will still be a close entity organization.

In the past ten days, he and Lin Ju have basically resumed their previous work, just to stay away from the maelstrom that is forming.

Especially Lin Ju and Xinyuan, every move may bring unexpected consequences.

Of course, the huge amount of money needed for this is provided by the government, but Zhong Cheng didn't expect Lin Ju to reach out and ask for money so quickly.

These ideas were only rough assumptions between the two of them, but in the unknown underground bunker, they had definitely become some kind of plan, and even openly discussed.

"I understand, but Zhong Ju, those technologies have begun to be sorted out and tackled, and Xinyuan is really ......."

The way to transform these technologies into physical objects is also through collaborative research and co-funding, and Xinyuan has strong autonomy.

Although these funds were only allocated nominally by the Aviation Development Commission, Zhong Cheng couldn't help but ask:

"How much?"

His face immediately sank:

"Don't talk about this matter to the outside world, it will cause big trouble if it leaks out."

Alien civilization is a crisis, and of course it is also an unprecedented opportunity, obviously Lin Ju is thinking more and further in this direction.

Xinyuan has a lot of advanced alien technologies and can foresee a large number of advanced alien technologies in the future, and the ownership of these technologies is clearly stated above that they are still owned by Xinyuan.

At some point, humans are more difficult to guess than extraterrestrial civilizations.

It has been almost a month since I learned about the alien civilization from above, and the people in various top departments have almost disappeared from view, obviously actively making various preparations.

Of course, this is also related to Xinyuan's extremely special status, no one regards it as a private enterprise giant, both dependent and obscure.

Lin Ju revealed that the next task of the "Karst" is to land on Titan, and the Aviation Development Commission will help Xinyuan to complete it, which can actually be said to be the country's mission goal.

"Why do you want 100 billion?"

"100 billion!"

"50 billion is okay, mainly because Academician Zhang chose the 'Chi Ling' material and controllable nuclear fusion, and it is necessary to build several high-energy physics laboratories and weak force test centers, which are also the first time in the world, and 50 billion can only be counted less."

Lin Ju looked helpless, of course he was also asking for research funds for the system, but the cost of the high-energy laboratory is not fake, for example, the environment required to study weak force and quantum synchronous communication technology needs to be cooled down to the greatest extent, that is, to provide an extreme environment with a high vacuum and infinitely close to absolute zero.

The cost of maintaining these environments and carrying out experiments is an astronomical amount, at least when Zhang Shoucheng and Ye Changsi calculated, they thought that these two projects would not be a big problem to consume a small target in the next day.

Another important reason why Huanxing Lab proposed to build a laboratory on the moon is that it is trying to excavate and purify a large amount of helium-3 from the moon for use in the extremely low temperature environment of the laboratory, and the production on Earth may not even be able to supply the experimental needs.

According to the law of scientific and technological development, the more advanced the technology on the manufacturing environment requirements are getting higher and higher, the process of forcibly digesting these cutting-edge technologies under the current technology is not wonderful, and it will be a heavy burden for a long time.

This is entirely the result of a mismatch between the level of technology and the productive forces of society, but now there is no alternative.

"The investment in basic science is really exaggerated......"

Zhong Cheng slandered his belly, but he knew that no matter how Xinyuan spoke, he would always find a way to be satisfied, otherwise the money would not have any meaning in the future.

He suddenly turned his head:

"You say, how long can such a peaceful day last?"

Continued huge space investment always has a price, and sooner or later it will affect the normal life of the population.

Lin Ju shrugged:

"Who knows, it could be decades, half a century like the Cold War, or it could be a mess next month.

Isn't John ready to visit us? I guess he's going to be early, and everyone is getting ready. ”

……

"Be careful, I say, are you really going to put this shit under Roy's ass?"

Victor Glover directed the crew who carefully steered the trailer, keeping the right distance from the streamlined object being lifted.

The young man named "Roy" stood next to him motionlessly and looked at the hydrogen bomb that was being moved, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Victor patted his shoulder, revealing a mouthful of dazzling teeth:

"Come on boy, you're about to overtake me."

"But I don't want to ...... at all"

"Shut up, don't act like a coward."

Victor, the former astronaut hero, has been promoted to director of the astronaut training center, and Roy next to him is the payload specialist for Artemis VI.

In mid-July, a full eight hydrogen bombs will be detonated, and Artemis VI, which will provide assistance in the ratio of 2,2,2,1,1 to assist in the detonation of Aramco and the three hydrogen bombs with a yield of 10 million tons.

The hydrogen bomb is stored behind the command module, whether it is in flight or landing, the three super hydrogen bombs will be closely accompanied by four astronauts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they sleep with the hydrogen bomb.

Although these highly educated elites know how difficult it is to detonate a hydrogen bomb, they can't help but feel a little apprehensive at the thought of spending a few days with these horrible things.

Roy, in particular, a young genius engineer, was in charge of the three treasures, which now seemed to be a challenging job.
