Chapter 99 Huge Plan
Fan Ren was snoring softly on the sofa in the office. He had received too much technical information at once yesterday, so even after a whole night's rest, his head was still groggy.
In a daze, I seemed to smell a burst of fragrance from the tip of my nose.
"Are you awake? Have some tea."
It was not until Jin Qiaoying's cold voice sounded in his ears that he opened his eyes and saw the woman in front of him. Then he remembered that he was in her office.
"I'm so busy, sorry to bother you."
Fan Ren was not too polite. Although there was no complete set of tea sets here, the tea brewed with her skills was no less fragrant.
Jin Qiaoying didn't care. She sat down opposite him, picked up her cup, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.
"What new ideas do you have?"
Her eyes fell on the thick stack of documents beside Fan Ren, and her smooth forehead wrinkled slightly.
She had received the news that the initial nuclear fusion test had been successful.
She thought that Fan Ren should be busy expanding the experimental results, so why did he suddenly come to Linhai headquarters?
She had experienced this kind of situation before. This guy was definitely the kind of person who would not come to her for no reason.
"The scientists there are actually no less professional than I am. I can leave the rest of the work to them. I often just offer suggestions on the general direction."
He also took a sip of the fragrant tea, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
"So you thought of me?"
Jin Qiaoying glanced at him charmingly, and without being polite to Fan Ren, she directly took the thick file beside him and started flipping through it without waiting for Fan Ren to speak.
Fan Ren worked on this plan overnight with the help of Zeng Yingying.
It records the direction of his planned development for the next stage.
The first and most important thing is to build a space elevator project, which is a prerequisite for many subsequent projects.
According to calculations by the Xinghai supercomputer, based on the current industrial level and Daxia's construction speed, and provided there is sufficient funding and raw material supply, it will take about six months to complete the first phase of the project at an altitude of 36000 kilometers.
This is an orbital altitude that is already capable of carrying out initial space cargo delivery.
And because this altitude is geostationary orbit, the centrifugal force of the elevator is equal to the earth's gravity, which can keep it in a stable state.
After completion, the transportation of materials between the ground and the air will be greatly shortened. Based on this, the Xingyun series rockets can remove the first stage of the rocket body, which occupies the largest proportion of the whole, and complete the cargo transportation process directly at the space elevator.
At the same time, part of the energy will be invested in the lunar mining base to increase production to meet the tri-titanium alloy building materials needed for the first phase of the space elevator project, and consider building a space elevator on the moon simultaneously.
This is a complex and huge project.
After completing the above projects, the construction of the second phase of the space elevator will begin. It is planned to increase the height of the space elevator to 10 kilometers on the original basis.
At this altitude, due to the rotation of the Earth, the top of the elevator has a higher outer ring speed and is expected to reach the second cosmic speed, which is the initial speed that can escape the Earth's gravity.
With this acceleration, the spacecraft can reach the moon and other planets in the solar system without even any additional power when it leaves the top of the elevator.
The construction period of this project is relatively long, and the specific implementation plan has not yet been determined.
But the next plan has already been made.
After completing this feat, the Xinghai Society will build a space tri-titanium alloy refining plant, as well as a helium-3 nuclear fusion fuel refining plant.
It is also planned to build a corresponding space factory for material finishing.
Even after completing these goals, the next step is to build a spacecraft construction dock.
Fan Ren's eyes occasionally swept across Jin Qiaoying's serious face, and gradually he became curious. Something was wrong!
Jin Qiaoying closed the thick plan, her face was calm and expressionless, she nodded and said: "I don't understand the technical aspects, you just do it, the entire early lunar mining plan did not use much of the principal in the Xinghai account.
After Belarus lifted the ban on us, the export volume of our battery business has grown rapidly.
Similarly, in the radio sector, more and more high-tech fields are beginning to use this technology to replace the complex wiring harnesses in traditional equipment.
The most surprising thing is the graphene chip business. After the completion of our automated smart factory, the production cost has been further reduced while the productivity has increased rapidly. Every month, StarCore-500 produces 1000 million pieces and StarCalc-1200 produces million pieces. After deducting the cost, the revenue has reached billion. "
When Jin Qiaoying said this, her eyes revealed an amazement that was hard to conceal.
The chip's ability to attract money is terrifying, especially with the AI computing power craze created by Yiwei Da, the Star Computing No. 40 chip, which costs yuan per chip, is in short supply.
But the benefits are also obvious. The reason why the Xingyun series of rockets can be successfully launched at one time while using many technologies is because most of its computing work is completed by the Xinghai supercomputer in the base.
Although chips are expensive, they also reduce R&D costs and save R&D cycles in disguise.
In this era of rapid technological development, it is particularly important to have one's own AI computing chipset.
When Fan Ren heard this, he was a little shocked even though he was not very interested in financial figures.
The revenue in the last month has reached a terrifying 1200 billion.
Together with the battery, radio and other businesses, the entire Xinghai currently has a monthly revenue of 1500 billion after deducting operating costs.
He smacked his lips and whispered, "Do we have that much money now?"
Beom In opened his palm towards Kim Qiao-young.
"8200 billion, is that enough for you?"
"do not know."
Fan Ren was not complacent after getting the answer. The investment cost of the first phase of the space elevator project given by Xinghai Supercomputer would be nearly 5000 billion yuan, and although the cost of the subsequent second phase of the project would be further reduced, it would still require nearly 2000 billion yuan.
Not to mention, he wants to expand the scale of mining at the lunar base at the same time. After the expansion, "Guanghan Palace" will become a large base that can accommodate 500 astronauts for long-term stay.
This project also requires nearly 1000 billion in funds.
There is also a nuclear fusion production project being carried out at the same time. From the beginning, this project only serves Xinghai itself, and it is impossible to bring any profit except spending money.
The Daxia government also invested the technology in the field of people's livelihood, but did so with the idea of not making money.
Fortunately, nuclear fusion has brought about many changes, saving energy costs and also serving as a disguised way to generate income for Star Sea.
I thought of the research on quantum communication technology and nuclear fusion engines that I haven’t mentioned yet.
Fan Ren couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"What's wrong?" Jin Qiaoying became confused when she saw him like this.
"It's okay, thank you. Without your help, Xinghai wouldn't be where it is today."
Fan Ren looked at her, his eyes full of gratitude.
Jin Qiaoying felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him like that.
"I'm busy now."
She quickly stood up and walked towards the desk.
