In the 6566th year of the Xia calendar

, the latest model of spacecraft began to be built. This is the embodiment of the highest technology in China. Lin Jiang gave Cao Wang the highest level of technical support, and the top technology in all fields served this purpose.

"This is the design drawing of our Pioneer II spacecraft. Except for the head and tail of the spacecraft, the rest of the spacecraft is hidden in space. From the outside, the spacecraft is only 16 meters long, but the actual length is more than 800 meters..."

"The weight of Pioneer II on Blue Star is 25 tons. It is not a simple probe, but a comprehensive exploration spacecraft without any weapon system..."

"My design has a maximum speed of 30,000 Mach, and the average speed can reach 2.5 Mach, but after our route design, we have to pass through seven celestial bodies. When we borrow the gravity of the celestial bodies, the speed can break through..."

Cao Wang was introducing some scientific parameters of the new spacecraft to Lin Jiang and others. Although he said it in very straightforward words, Lin Jiang and others still didn't understand it. The more advanced the technology, the more knowledge there is. Even if it is a cultivator, no one can master it all.

Anyway, Lin Jiang knew that this spaceship was the most advanced and the fastest. Speed ​​was the most important thing in space exploration. Without speed, everything would be in vain.

"Where will the spaceship be launched?"

"Cape No. 7, our newest space base. Compared with launching from Blue Star, it can save billions of kilometers of travel."

"Has the interstellar teleportation array been laid to Cape No. 7?"

"It was just laid a few years ago. It is completely equipped with teleportation arrays and can reach Cape No. 7 within a day."

"Can it be laid further? For interstellar immigration, spaceships are not enough. It takes hundreds of years to travel back and forth, no matter how many people are carried."

Lin Jiang said. He and Cao Ying had been to Cape No. 3 before, but that was a long time ago. The space development named the new planet Cape No. 7.

"Not yet. There's not enough funding. The distance for inter-star system transmission exceeds the limit of current technology. We need to build a platform similar to a space station in the middle, and the cost will increase dramatically."

"I have no money. Twenty-six percent of China's annual fiscal expenditure is spent on space projects, and only seven percent is spent on military expenditure. My little treasury is also used up,"

Lin Jiang said, shaking his head. Investing more than a quarter of the fiscal revenue in space projects is a terrible expenditure. Even such an important expenditure as military expenditure is only seven percent now.

"Ancestor, my suggestion is to absorb foreign investment. Qingyun, Zhouliao and Yingzhou are all developing space technology, and the five allied countries are working together to develop it, but what can we say about their technology? They are hundreds of years behind us. It is better to absorb their funds."

"If we cooperate with them, what should we do to keep the technology confidential?"

"Ancestor, you overestimate their level. I'm serious. For example, for the Pioneer II, I gave them all the design drawings and even the raw materials and technology for free, but they couldn't make it."

"Is this true? There is such a big difference?"

"The aerospace field is an all-round scientific and technological field, not the field of a certain discipline. Let me not talk about anything else. Let me just talk about the simplest one. The external coating of the spacecraft, do you know how many industries need to collaborate? I'll give a rough number, no less than one hundred. This one alone is enough for them to struggle for several years."

"Knowing this, they are willing to cooperate and give us money for nothing."

"Of course we will. We have been very strong in our field in recent years. We are strong in all aspects, and the same is true in propaganda. Through hundreds of years of strong propaganda, countries have reached a consensus that only space is the symbol of a strong country. Simply put, you say you are a strong country, what evidence do you have? Not only do you need to have a few immortal cultivators, but you also need to be able to go out of space. Among

the powerful countries now, the only ones who can reach the moon are Qingyun and Zhou Liao. They have an unmanned base on the moon, which is more than twenty times smaller than ours, and the astronauts can only live there for about three years. As for Yingzhou, unless their Hedao ancestors go to space in person, they have just reached the stage of spacewalking." "

The gap is not ordinary,"

Lin Jiang said. The lunar base is a technology from hundreds of years ago. China's space bases are almost in the double digits, and there are even examples of astronauts living in space for more than 30 years.

"Yes, so we can support them in public opinion. There are nearly 200 countries in the world now. Let them also be a strong country and feel the taste of a strong country. In addition, we can give them some technology if necessary."

Cao Wang said that there are many countries on the Blue Star, but most of them have no sense of existence. In the ears of many people, only ten or so countries can be heard.

"How is the income of the space project?"

"Less than 100 billion Chinese yuan a year, it's useless."

"Didn't they say that they have developed dozens of rare minerals, and they are pulled back by spaceships?"

"Ancestor, that's what we fooled the outside world, how could you believe it? The minerals are pulled back, but these minerals must be usable. The market on the Blue Star is too small. For example, a certain metal on an electronic component only needs one or two grams, and we pull tens of thousands of tons at a time, which is simply not enough. We can't dump it, otherwise it will damage our own interests."

"I understand, farmers would rather dump milk than lower the price, right?"

"Yes, but we don't drink milk, we pour milk,"

Cao Wang said with a smile, he didn't intend to deny that high-tech products are China's harvest of wealth from the world. In the absence of competitors, why should we lower prices? Isn't it good to make money by doing nothing? When other countries develop, they will lower prices.

"Okay, if you have someone to handle the matter of absorbing funds, there is a principle. China is the strongest. Within this principle, you can handle it flexibly."

Lin Jiang nodded and stopped interfering. He really had no money. He took over Lu Xuan's property in Penglai Island and invested it quickly. They had to find a way.

The aerospace project had been marketized before, but the efficiency was too low. It might be able to raise hundreds of billions of Chinese yuan a year, but this amount of money was too little compared to the investment. It didn't make much sense. It was more about publicity.

"Liang Long"

"Yes, Director."

A young man stood up from his seat in the Yunjiang Branch of the Chinese Psychic Research Institute.

"Come to my office for a moment"

"Yes, Director."

Liang Long walked to the director's office, and the director took out a form and gave it to Liang Long.

"Please fill in this form. You will go to Haigang City for further study next month. Now our Psychic Research Institute has the strongest strength in Haigang City Branch. You will go for further study for a year. After you come back, you can apply for the position of deputy director."

"Director, my qualifications don't seem to be enough. Is this okay?"

Liang Long rubbed his hands and said, his eyes were fixed on the form.

"The issue of qualifications is very complicated. Although you are young, you are the best researcher in our Yunjiang Branch in recent years. Your thesis is not worse than mine, the director.

The most important thing is that your Liang family is a four-generation martyr. Not many people in China have this honor..."

The director said slowly. Liang Long is a star researcher in their branch. He graduated from Kyoto University in China. Kyoto University is one of the best schools in China, and he is also an outstanding graduate.

With his grades, he can go to any research institution in China. Even the main institute of the Psychic Research Institute has thrown him an olive branch, but Liang Long still returned to Yunjiang on the grounds of giving back to his hometown.

In the past few years since he came back, Liang Long has also achieved outstanding results. He has published several heavyweight papers every year, and he is far ahead of others in academic research.

In terms of political resume, Liang Long's family is even more exciting. Liang Long's ancestors were the first batch of immortal cultivators in China. They were in the foundation-building stage and later died at the hands of evil ways. After that, there were three generations who also sacrificed in various fields. Four generations of martyrs, this background is too strong.

"Thank you, Director. I know what to do. I won't embarrass the Yunjiang branch."

"Go, get busy, remember to go to Harbour City. Learning is important, but knowing some people is more important. Our Yunjiang branch is too weak, and you guys have to work hard."

"Yes, Director."

Liang Long looked grateful and quickly left the office.

Back to his position, several colleagues in the communication group immediately congratulated him. It seems that the news has been known for a long time. Liang Long also replied to the message humbly.

"Lu Xuan became Liang Long and experienced the life of an ordinary person, which seemed to be quite interesting."

Liang Long looked around and sighed in his heart. Now he had a kind of addictive feeling, as if he was playing a role-playing game, and he was naturally the well-deserved protagonist.
