The recruitment work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the research institute building of Xia's Biological in Min Heng gradually became lively. Hundreds of employees gathered here to work for Xia Yu.
No, we are working for all mankind. As long as we think this way, won’t we have a sense of mission?
Project One is fully studying the information provided by Xia Yu, and Project Two is still being formed. He would rather have no researchers than have unqualified ones.
Research and development, animal testing, and clinical trials. Clinical trials are divided into three phases. The development of a new drug takes at least 12 years.
Xia Yu didn't want to go through the trouble of researching a specific drug for a specific type of cancer. He planned to solve the problem of cancer at the genetic level, which might be a longer process.
Sure enough, it is not so easy to lead human development. At least Xia Yu cannot do it alone. He needs help from more people.
Recently, good news came that the lunar integrated cabin mineral laboratory jointly developed by Universe Mining Company and China University of Mining and Technology has made a breakthrough.
The Universe Mining Company was founded earlier than Xia's Biology. The company currently focuses on scientific research and is still some distance away from real universe mining.
The project has been kept confidential and the outside world knows nothing about it. After all, Xia Yu wants to produce some results before announcing them to the public.
Now the results are here, and the project leader has assured him that the laboratory will be completed before the end of the year.
It looks like this year's Chinese New Year will be lively.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think after hanging up the phone, and then he dialed another number.
"Hey Elon, long time no see, how have you been?"
"Sherlock, if I'm not mistaken, it's two in the morning!"
Musk sounded a little tired on the phone.
"Sorry to disturb your rest."
Xia Yu was a little excited and forgot that there was a Pacific Ocean between China and Magnesium, so he did not convert the time difference.
"Not really, I'm still in the office!"
Musk got up and left his desk. The lights at SpaceX headquarters were on. Not long ago, Starship SN7.1 exploded during a pressure test. They were rushing to work on SN8, and SN9 was also being carried out simultaneously.
The team worked overtime, and he, as the boss, also worked with them. Compared to them, Xia Yu was like a salted fish.
"Elon, you are really hardworking. I can't work until 2 a.m.."
In the non-Buff state, Xia Yu added another sentence in his mind.
"I always feel that my mentality is very young, but my body is getting older day by day, so I have to hurry up."
Musk was born in June 1971 and is over 50 years old. Time is running out for him, so he has to seize every minute.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Is my rocket ready?"
Xia Yu asked on the phone. In order to send the laboratory to the moon, he specially ordered a heavy Falcon carrier rocket.
When signing the contract, Musk assured him that the product was brand new from stock, so it shouldn't explode, right?
The prices are transparent. A recoverable Falcon Heavy launch costs $90 million. If the maximum payload is carried, it cannot be recovered and the launch price will rise to $150 million.
What Xia Yu was going to launch was a lunar laboratory, not a lunar rover. In addition to various necessary scientific research instruments, he also brought a set of automated drilling equipment, and the lightweight mass was over 10 tons.
It cost nearly 1 billion RMB to buy the rocket, which is quite expensive, but fortunately it can be discounted.
It stands to reason that business is business, but for the first private lunar laboratory, Musk only charged a friendly price and called many times to inquire about the progress.
"Uh-huh, is your lab finished?"
"Progress is going smoothly. It's expected to be completed by the end of December and shipped to Magnesium after commissioning. How about launching it on Lunar New Year's Day?"
The year ends with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to the wine. The New Year would not feel like the New Year without firecrackers, so this time he would set off a big one, the kind that the whole world can see.
"Sure, you have the final say. Your New Year should be in February, right?"
Musk has some understanding of China, and he is very excited to be able to launch the first private laboratory to the moon.
Although the contract had been signed before, there were still few projects that were stuck in the laboratory stage. Now that it has been smoothly advanced to this step, things are basically settled, but there must be no trouble on his side.
After hanging up the phone with Xia Yu, Musk dialed another number and asked the relevant person in charge to confirm that the Heavy Falcon that would undertake this launch mission could be officially put into service before February.
"Senior, what are you so happy about?"
Jiang Baiying came to Xia Yu's office to report on her work. As soon as she knocked on the door, she saw his happy face.
"Guess what?"
Xia Yu asked back, he also wanted to share this happiness with Xiao Jiang.
"I guess your value has increased again, Senior."
Jiang Baiying thought for a while and said, it is already late September, and in October it will be the time when the annual Hurun Pig Killing List will be announced.
In the first half of this year, Xia's Catering was successfully listed. In the second half of the year, Xia's Biology recruited talents and started two projects at the same time. The senior's net worth will definitely increase significantly.
"I wouldn't have thought of this if you hadn't told me. Money is just a bunch of numbers when I'm at that level. There's really nothing to be happy about."
Xia Yu waved his hands and pretended to be with Xiao Jiang. He was not interested in money. He just wanted to be the father of all mankind.
Hey, something seems wrong. Even if it's not Xiao Jiang, I have to call him...
Forget it, forget it. The senior student never called her that, so how could he bear to let Xiao Jiang call her that!
