Chapter 535: The Wormhole Project

PS: Thank you for your support! Thank you very much!

The Financial Commission is in charge of the administrative taxation of the earth's civilization, the profits and taxes of state-owned enterprises, the multiplication of state-owned assets, and the income of foreign trade. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's a pity that no matter how huge the financial power of this big man is, in the end, it will be empty, and he can't get it out of his pocket.

The vast majority of the financial budget expenditures and project funds of the major functional systems within the system of the earth's civilization have to go through the books of the Financial Commission, and the comprehensive financial budget carried out at the beginning of each year has already decided more than ninety percent of the budget for the next year, and the huge amount of funds come and go on the books, all for others.

Of course, as a member of the Financial Commission, the amount of financial budget that he has at his disposal that can be freely approved is still quite a huge amount, but such a amount of funds is a drop in the bucket in the face of such a super-huge financial expenditure project as the super-light speed gun led by the Military Commissioner, and it is not enough at all.

Therefore, although the military commissar tried his best to make a gesture and ensure that the amount of funds he fought for was definitely not large, the financial commissar was still ready for battle, and his heart was filled with a strong sense of foreboding!

Sure enough, the military commissar said that it was a small number, and when he really started to fight, it was called a fast and ruthless one!

"I expect to trial produce 10,000 faster-than-light guns, with this scale, it should be almost technically mature, well, the cost of each faster-than-light cannon is roughly equivalent to the cost of a hundred high-end warships, I don't say much at all!"

The financial commissar clapped his hands, "Do you see if my 100 catties are enough? If it's enough, you can cut it and take it back, I have no opinion! But if you want to take such a large budget, I have only one answer, no way! How big is the total budget of our earth civilization, you want to share such a large piece, the total budget of your military in a hundred years is so large, no matter how important the hyperluminal gun project is, there is no such a way to ask for money, if you are willing to take it in a thousand years, I can discuss it, other than that, I can't do anything! ”

"Don't! It's just 10,000 faster-than-light cannons, you take them in a thousand years, the daylilies are cold, and only ten physical products are trial-produced in a year, when will the renewal of our earth's civilization fleet be considered a head? You can supply it in batches in 40 or 50 years, 1,000 years, it's too ruthless, right?"

The military commissar was crazy, he himself knew that his request was too outrageous, the production cost of 10,000 faster-than-light guns was directly equivalent to the entire equipment cost of a main fleet, and now the total number of fleets of the entire earth civilization was only four, and it was basically impossible to fight for such a huge budget amount in a short period of time, under normal circumstances, and it was also for this reason that the military commissar put forward this budget request at the highest meeting, but he did not expect to be directly dragged by the financial commissar to a thousand years later。

Such a budget scale is simply not enough for the current military system.

You must know that in the past, the overall security pattern of the earth civilization, in the previous hundreds of years, the degree of security was still extremely high, and there was no possibility of a large-scale war in a short period of time, and some small-scale military confrontations could be easily dealt with without even really touching the main fleet for the earth civilization.

It is precisely under this pattern that the military was able to make up its mind to reduce military expenditures on a large scale, and at the same time to mobilize forces for the construction of the main battle fleet, it also started the research and development of the superlight gun project, which consumes a jaw-dropping amount of funds.

Rao is so, the increasing capital consumption of the faster-than-light gun project, or the pressure on the military's financial expenditure, has reached the point where it is almost difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, after hundreds of years of continuous investment, the project of the hyperluminal cannon has begun to bear fruit, and all the hyperluminal cannons belonging to the earth's civilization itself have finally been realized by the military's scientific research system, and small-scale trial production has been carried out.

It was also with such achievements that the Military Commissar had enough confidence to throw this extremely expensive project on the agenda of the Supreme Council.

After all, the current pattern is not as good as in the past, the earth civilization has reached the threshold of rapid expansion, and the rise of the meteorite star sea has increasingly aroused the attention and attention of the hegemon-level civilization, it can be said that from the level of civilization, large-scale war has reached the point where it is almost imminent, in this case, the military has a more and more huge demand in the construction of the main fleet, as well as the research and development and production of important weapons, and the demand for military spending can be said to be almost infinite.

The benefits of the military budget are already somewhat stretched for the entire military system to carry out comprehensive preparations for war, and if you want to invest in the project of a near-bottomless superlight gun, it is simply unbearable for the military.

Therefore, the main purpose of the military commissar in this meeting is to strive for as much special budget as possible for the research and development of the superluminal gun project.

Once there is a breakthrough in the research and development of the superlight cannon, the benefits to the entire military are endless, but the military can no longer afford to support this gluttonous beast alone, and this pot can only be thrown to the highest decision-making level of the entire earth civilization to deal with.

After all, the strategic interests and weight of the faster-than-light cannon are all there, and once the technology is mature and installed in batches, it will have endless benefits for the rapid rise of the entire earth civilization, so the military commissar is not afraid of the threat to him from the financial commissar at all.

I still don't believe it, such a critical and important scientific research project is related to the interests of the entire earth civilization, and the high-level people here can really deny him...... The Military Commissar clearly knows that in the face of such an important matter, the Financial Commissioner's own authority is no longer sufficient for him to independently decide whether or not to approve this budget, and the reason why the Financial Commissar came forward to veto it in person is actually very simple, because the funds in his hand have already had a specific destination, and the Financial Commissar is calling for grievances in advance to prevent such a large budget from being directly drawn from his free budget.

Sima Mulong spoke at this time, "The budget matter will be decided until the end, so don't rush it now." Science and Technology Commissioner, please report on your work!"

As soon as the Supreme Committee member had spoken, the other members immediately stopped talking and stopped expressing their views on the budget.

The Science and Technology Committee (SSC) represents the S&T system and speaks at the highest meeting.

The Science and Technology Committee is mainly responsible for the scientific and technological development of the Earth civilization, in charge of cutting-edge scientific research projects and management, and is the most comprehensive master of high-end scientific research resources within the entire Earth civilization.

At least in the testing and research and development of superlight guns, the scientific and technological system has provided countless high-end experimental equipment and high-end scientific research workers in the past hundred years.

It's just that the faster-than-light gun is a highly classified project belonging to the military, and in terms of the main R&D authorization allocation, it was authorized by Sima Mulong to the military, although the scientific research system knows that the military has been trying to make a big news, but it is not very clear about the specific details of the project.

Although the current scientific and technological system of the earth's civilization has not been authorized by Sima Mulong to use military research and development projects such as superluminal guns, in other fields of scientific and technological research and development, there are still countless research and development projects and countless research and development topics, which occupy a considerable proportion of the resource allocation of the entire earth civilization.

After all, in this era of interstellar civilization where technology has been super advanced, rough benzene manual work similar to moving bricks and digging stones has long been completely replaced by various intelligent robots, and even some special industries with extremely high technical difficulty and great danger have been replaced by machinery.

Within today's earth civilization, the division of labor in the industry has long been very different from that of the planetary era.

In the era of entertainment, knowledge, and intelligence, more social division of labor has been transformed into a variety of links that tend to have higher requirements for intelligence.

Now in the earth civilization, even the lowest level of migrant workers, most of them have begun to type code, and the number of people who have changed careers to become scientists is several times more than in the planetary era.

Under the background of such an era, the social authority of the scientific and technological system has also been greatly improved.

From the field of energy to the field of biology, to the systematic upgrade of faster-than-light spacecraft, the research and development of human longevity gene projects, etc., these cutting-edge topics of scientific and technological exploration can be said to be major research directions of scientific and technological systems.

In the era of interstellar civilization, with so many important and core areas in the hands of top secrets, the Science and Technology Council naturally deserves to be ranked second in the entire Supreme Council's power sequence, just slightly inferior to the Military Commissar who directly controls such a devastating force as the main fleet.

After being asked by the Supreme Committee to make a work report, in order not to let the huge achievements of the Military Committee be predominant, the Science and Technology Committee also used a big move for the first time!

"First of all, I want to say that with the efforts of countless scientists in our entire scientific and technological system, after hundreds of years of development, our wormhole channel project has made a major breakthrough in the recent time!"

When the members of the Science and Technology Committee talked about this major breakthrough, they could be described as overjoyed and relieved.

Those in the know here know very well that the wormhole passage project is an important stop on the road of the science and technology committee, and he used to be a young engineer in this strategic science and technology research and development system, and he does not know how much hair has fallen out for the little progress of a small branch project in this major project.

However, the science and technology committee did not have much talent in scientific research, so he soon changed careers to engage in administrative work, and it can be said that he was on the rise, after nearly two hundred years of hard work, and after a long period of experience and growth in countless important and unimportant positions, he finally became the most powerful one in the scientific and technological system in the earth's civilization.

This can only show that although the members of the science and technology committee have no talent for tackling key problems in specific scientific research projects, they are not low in attainments in the overall development of the science and technology system, the allocation of resources, and so on.

Although he has not served in the wormhole project for a long time, the more than one year of work in the wormhole project is a rare memory and memory for the science and technology committee.

In the words of the Science and Technology Committee himself, the wormhole tunnel research and development project does not need people with disabilities with an IQ of less than 300, and can only accommodate the top geniuses here!

Even after nearly two hundred years, the Science and Technology Committee still remembers that when he was serving in the wormhole project, the countless mathematical formulas that were not moving in his mind at all times, and the countless difficult and obscure quantum science space-time principles that made people headaches, many times the Science and Technology Committee had nightmares, and the dreams he experienced were these formulas and numbers that were scratched and distorted, which often caused him to wake up in his sleep.

Although the science and technology committee has far exceeded the poverty line of 300 IQ, the scientific research project of the wormhole channel still makes him feel very unfriendly.

After setting foot in the Huan Sea, although he is no longer directly involved in the direct research and development of the wormhole passage project, the science and technology committee has more and more felt the omnipresent influence of this project team, and the official government of earth civilization and the Supreme Committee have given too much resources and support to the work of this project team.

It can be said that the scientific researchers engaged in the research and development of the earth's civilization, the top and most cutting-edge personnel, have always been swept away by the wormhole project team, and even the scientific research team of the faster-than-light spacecraft can't grab them, and often one or two of the top scientists are eliminated from the wormhole channel project team, and they can't stay in the wormhole research team.

For a while, when the members of the Science and Technology Committee were still working at the bottom, they all thought that the wormhole project working group was a bottomless abyss that destroyed people tirelessly.

Countless top scientific researchers have filled this big pit, but it is difficult to come up with an eye-catching achievement for tens or hundreds of years, which makes people deplore the waste of intellectual resources of these top talents.

However, this biased understanding has been profoundly reversed the more the Science and Technology Committee has risen to the top and understood the bottleneck of the development of the earth's civilization.

And after the Science and Technology Committee was finally promoted to his current position, after seeing the real development trend of the earth's civilization, he, like the previous Science and Technology Commissioners, gave the greatest tolerance and support to the wormhole passage project.

To this day, at this supreme meeting, the Science and Technology Committee has presented a great gift to the earth's civilization that is enough to cause an earthquake! )
