On March 5, Universe Mining updated its Weibo and Twitter accounts simultaneously, attracting everyone who saw the news.
Global Recruitment: Lunar Mining Staff
"Oh my god, it's still a month away from April Fools' Day, and a private company is actually going to the moon."
"It's said that by 2025, applicants will receive four years of training, and this is in cooperation with the government. This doesn't seem like a joke."
"That's a big move. Remember, Universe Mining is Mr. Xia's new company. Isn't he afraid of being burned out and going bankrupt?"
For a time, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the popularity of Xia Yu and Universe Mining once again topped the list. Some people thought he was just trying to attract attention, some thought he could really create miracles, and some people were fighting for the sofa and bench.
Being at the center of the storm, Xia Yu said everything is under control.
Is it difficult to land on the moon?
It is very difficult. Back then, NASA burned tens of billions of dollars during its six moon landings. Taking inflation into account, that is equivalent to hundreds of billions of dollars today, or trillions of RMB.
But with the development of technology today, the price should be much cheaper, not to mention that Xia Yu also controls future technology, which is why he dares to make such harsh remarks.
"Old Xia, I heard you're going to land on the moon. Is that true?"
Ji Yang called and was also shocked by today's big news. Xia Yu would launch a satellite from time to time to grab the headlines, but this time was different from the past. It seemed like he was playing a little big.
"That's true, but it won't happen for a while, until 2025."
Xia Yu said truthfully.
It was easy for him to send people to the moon, but after all, they were not going there for sightseeing. Staying there for a long time and carrying out mining operations required thorough preparation.
"This is too crazy! I vomit when I sit in a fighter jet, and you want to send a man to the moon."
Ji Yang's tone was still incredible.
"It's not me who's crazy, it's the world. It's been more than 50 years since humans first landed on the moon, and we haven't returned to the moon, let alone explored the universe further."
"They only see the small piece of land under their feet and only hope for the small happiness in life. Even if they once had ideals and ambitions, they have been worn away by reality. So some things must be done by someone."
Xia Yu's tone was not condescending, he was just stating some simple facts.
"You're awesome, you're awesome!"
Ji Yang couldn't think of a better adjective for the moment and could only express his admiration.
Even if he was as rich as Xia Yu, he would not be willing to spend as much as he did.
"It's just okay. I'll take you to Mars later."
"Okay, it's just a matter of a word. I'll definitely find you when the time comes."
After the conversation ended and the phone was disconnected, Ji Yang couldn't calm down for a long time.
Going to Mars is easy to say, but will he really have the courage to go there when the time comes?
It's a bit difficult to use a spacecraft that is launched and dropped with a parachute. You have to go on the Prometheus.
Of course, the 2025 moon landing plan is a collaboration with SpaceX, which will send Space Mining's space employees into lunar orbit.
The next lunar landing will be undertaken by Space Mining. Xia Yu will use this as a starting point and use the landing shuttle he originally rode as a blueprint to focus on tackling landing difficulties and also reserve technology for future Mars landings.
Relevant scientific research talents and space employees are recruited simultaneously, and technical support is sought from official authorities.
He has no shortage of funds, the key is the lack of talent!
Without talented people to help with the research, it would be useless even if Xia Yu knew the correct development direction. Therefore, he set the starting budget for the new project at 30 billion, which greatly increased the treatment of scientific researchers.
Because they are not limited to the domestic market, these recruitment positions attract attention from all over the world. Some people dream of going to the moon, while others are aiming for high salaries.
In short, as long as you pass the selection, no matter what your purpose is, you are all working together for the future of mankind.
Just as Xia Yu thought, the company's email was instantly flooded with resumes, and it was impossible to check them all manually, so the boss gave the order to "contract it out" directly.
Walter received all the emails at the Hive Base and used the computing power of the supercomputer on the spacecraft to directly screen out 95% of the unqualified applicants. The remaining 5% were classified according to level and then submitted to manual interviews.
The entire recruitment process will last for one year. We are eager to recruit talented people but would rather have no one than hire the unqualified ones. Xia Yu will be personally responsible for the final stage of the interview to ensure that no spies or agents sneak in.
Everything is going according to plan, but there is one more thing to do.
"Has everyone left?"
Xia Yu came to the monitoring room.
"No, Mr. Xia, they are all waiting for you to go out. I suggest you stick to the original plan."
Feng Manxue pointed at the screen and said.
On the surveillance footage, more than a dozen reporters were squatting outside the gate. They all wanted to interview and get first-hand information, but unfortunately Xia Yu rarely cooperated. Now he was squatting at home like a otaku and hadn't gone out for many days.
Sure enough, a helicopter had to be used.
Bell 430 came from afar and carried Xia Yu to the East China Sea amid the desperate eyes of many reporters.
He originally wanted to drive to the yacht club, change into his Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 and drive from the Huangpu River to the Donghai Sea, but now it is more convenient to fly directly.
In less than half an hour, the sea water connected to the sky appeared before their eyes. The pilot drove to the target sea area and saw an engineering ship already anchored there.
After approaching and throwing down a bundle of cables, Xia Yu directly rappelled onto the ship. A robot dog also jumped out of the cabin. After the hardware upgrade, Dahuang's maneuverability was further improved.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
