Liu Yichen sat down in the middle of the first row, which was marked with a nameplate saying 'President of Kowloon University Liu Yichen'.

This time Liu Yichen attended the lunar landing project seminar as the president of Kowloon University, not in any other capacity.

Gradually, as the meeting time got closer and closer, people kept arriving.

"Principal, come so early!" Professors, researchers, and engineers from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Kowloon University came here and greeted Liu Yichen one after another.

"Good morning, Mr. Liu!" The general manager and chief engineer of Kowloon Star Exploration Co., Ltd. saw Liu Yichen and quickly greeted Liu Yichen.

"Director Liu, I haven't been to the group for a long time. I should visit the group this time when I come to the capital." Seeing Liu Yichen, the chairman and chief engineer of Dahan Technology Group, with joy on his face and resentment in his eyes, invited Liu Yichen to Dahan

Technology Group goes for a walk.

Ever since Dahan Technology Group went public, Liu Yichen has completely become a hands-off shopkeeper. Throughout the year, he only comes to Dahan Technology Group for shareholders' meetings, and even misses them sometimes. This is undoubtedly a problem for the people of Dahan Technology Group.

, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints in my heart.

"Good morning, Director Liu!" The general manager of Huaxia Chip Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was also quite surprised and stepped forward to say hello.

Liu Yichen greeted them one by one, and soon he saw Sun Yafang entering the venue. The two exchanged a few words. Sun Yafang came to represent the Kowloon era.

Then came the soul of Warwick, Mr. Ren, Tencent’s Ma Huateng, Alibaba’s Ma Yun, and Baidu’s Li Yanhong. It can be said that many private entrepreneurs and business bosses were invited this time.

.

It is conceivable that SA is serious about it this time.

The moon landing project, as the name suggests, is a manned moon landing project, and the moon is a full 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. For the current earth, 380,000 kilometers is still a long distance. To complete this feat, it is still extremely difficult.

difficulty.

Even if China has made major achievements in the aerospace field in recent years, the level of aerospace technology is much higher than 20 years ago. China's economic strength and comprehensive national strength are also far higher than 20 years ago. In theory, it is possible for manned landing on the moon to be possible.

However, if we want to complete the manned moon landing, we also need to mobilize the whole country and mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized.

Of course, this also reveals a signal, that is, more openings will be opened to allow private companies to enter the aerospace field and cultivate more companies in the aerospace field.

Suddenly, a figure sat down next to Liu Yichen. Liu Yichen took a moment to look at this man in formal attire, about fifty or sixty years old, and soon the man's name and identity appeared in his mind.

Ye Zhenhua, director of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the second most powerful figure, had just visited Kowloon University for an inspection not long ago, and the two had met once.

"Director Ye." Liu Yichen stood up, smiled, held Director Ye's hand, shook it, and said politely: "You are also here to participate in this meeting."

"Not only representatives from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education and other ministries and commissions will be here, this seminar is of a very high level, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it and want to get a feel for it," Director Ye said with a smile.

The two sat down and chatted about the current situation of the domestic aerospace industry, which also gave Liu Yichen a relatively good understanding of the current situation of the domestic aerospace industry.

It can be said that with the efforts and development in the past two or three decades, China's aerospace field has greatly improved its shortcomings, its strength has been greatly enhanced, and some technologies have even reached the world's leading level.

Now the Beidou global navigation system has been completed and put into operation, providing services all over the world. The lunar exploration project has also completed its scheduled goals and achieved a complete success. The space station is expected to be completed in another two years. By then, China

It will have its own independent space station. From then on, the space station will have two space stations, namely the International Space Station and the China Space Station.

Against this background, SA needs to formulate a space development plan for the new era, and the lunar exploration project has come into view.

But this involves the most critical issue - budget!

Overall, the budget situation is very pessimistic.

At present, China's aerospace budget is only about 2 billion US dollars per year, and this is the Long March, Beidou, Chang'e, Shenzhou, Tianzhou, Tiangong, etc. combined.

The total cost of the Apollo program by the United States reached 22.5 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 0.57% of the U.S. GDP at that time! It is not easy to calculate how much the 22.5 billion U.S. dollars is worth now, but at that time, building an aircraft carrier combat

The group is still more than enough!

This shows how much money there is in aerospace!

What's more, there is still industrial heritage and engine technology accumulation... These are problems that may not be solved with money.

"We are not inferior to Western countries in terms of small rockets, but in terms of the carrying capacity of large rockets, there is a big gap between us and the United States and Russia."

"The Long March 5 has a carrying capacity of only 25 tons in low-Earth orbit, only 18 tons in synchronous orbit, and only about 8 tons in the Earth-moon transfer orbit. And our Shenzhou 11 manned spacecraft has a take-off mass of almost 8 tons.

This number. Considering that the lunar landing spacecraft must be redesigned according to the magnetic field environment of the moon, and must carry a lunar landing module weighing at least 3 tons and a living module of more than 5 tons, the final weight of the entire lunar landing spacecraft may exceed the 20 tons figure.

"

"With our current rocket technology, it is almost impossible to complete a manned moon landing."

Liu Yichen nodded slightly. At present, China is indeed facing objective difficulties in manned landing on the moon.

One problem that is on the table is insufficient rocket carrying capacity.

To solve the problem of rocket carrying capacity, it is necessary to develop a super-heavy rocket to improve the rocket's carrying capacity. However, developing a super-heavy rocket, whether it is training a scientific research team or launching a test, is extremely expensive in itself.

The final analysis is that the budget for the aerospace field is not enough.

If we really need to complete a manned moon landing, then the annual space budget will have to increase tenfold or even twentyfold!

Aerospace is extremely expensive, and the output is difficult to see. Many of them take time to be verified. Increasing so much aerospace funding will inevitably lead to opposition.

After all, there are still tens of millions of poor people in China, and the development of the central and western regions is not optimistic. All aspects need to be developed and improved, and these require money.

When Liu Yichen chatted with Director Ye, he already knew that this lunar landing project seminar would not only give a signal to private enterprises, expand the opening for private enterprises to enter the aerospace field, and encourage private enterprises to pour into aerospace to make up for their shortcomings, but also

To solve part of the aerospace funding. On the other hand, it actually means to test public opinion and slowly gain support from public opinion.

Liu Yichen couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. China has a large amount of fiscal revenue every year and a very low debt ratio. It can be said that there are many countries that he envies. However, he is still troubled by funding. If he wants to increase budget funding, he has to be cautious and dare not make bold requests directly.

.

In this regard, SA is simply a good boy, a good boy. How can it be like NASA, which complains about poverty every day and scares the Congressmen at every turn to make them pay obediently.

About half an hour later, the meeting officially started.

Standing in front of the podium, the spokesperson of the ministry read out the main content of the meeting.

Representatives of private enterprises listened attentively and kept writing in their notes that they actually did not care about the increase in aerospace funds, because the increase in aerospace funds had little to do with them, and the benefits mainly lied with state-owned enterprises.

For now, although private enterprises have mastered certain launch technologies of their own, for equipment such as high-thrust rockets used in the moon landing project, even if the relevant policies have been liberalized, ordinary private enterprises do not have that

If you have the capital and courage to play, it is unlikely that you will go through a thankless effort to build that technical reserve.

But soon, representatives of private enterprises heard the policy they wanted to hear, that is, in order to promote the development of the aerospace industry and the moon landing project, companies that invest in the domestic aerospace industry will enjoy tax preferential treatment in other domestic businesses.

To put it simply, if a company spends 30 million to launch a satellite, as long as Party B who undertakes the launch mission is a company in China and the launch mission is completed in China, it can get 30 million yuan in other business operations of the parent company.

Millions of tax breaks.

There is no doubt that this is very attractive to private enterprises. After all, sometimes when they pay taxes, they will feel pain and their hearts will bleed.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

For example, for the four major Internet technology companies BATD, they have their own business needs for launching satellites, and now the country has almost completely exempted their launch costs in the form of tax exemptions. Although this is not a direct subsidy from the state, it is related to

Direct subsidies make no difference.

At this point, it is simply great news for Chinese private enterprises.

As for the third policy, no private enterprises pay attention to it. It is just a verbal promise with legal effect.

That is to say, for a period of ten years, enterprises, research units or individuals that establish permanent or semi-permanent scientific research stations on the moon will enjoy franchise rights of 70 years or more for the resources that have occupied the lunar surface. At the same time, in scientific research, tourism

, enjoy tax exemptions on space resource mining and other aerospace-related projects.

For these private enterprises, there is no doubt that they only think about spaceflight in the earth's orbit. As for the moon, it is too far away. Even if they spend money at all costs, they probably would not have the ability to send people twenty years ago.

To go to the moon, let alone establish a permanent or semi-permanent scientific research station, scientific research, tourism, and space resource exploitation on the moon are too long for them. They only want short-term benefits.

Liu Yichen was moved in his heart. He was different from other private entrepreneurs. Most of the other private entrepreneurs were in their fifties or sixties, or even seventy years old. They would not think about such far-off things, because by that time they were almost already

Close your eyes. If a person dies, then the flood will come.

But Liu Yichen is young. He has always had great ambitions in the aerospace field, such as going to the moon to mine helium 3 as a controllable nuclear fusion fuel, such as going to the moon to mine iron ore, copper mines, gold mines, rare earths and other resources, and even going to the moon to mine helium 3 as a controllable nuclear fusion fuel.

Farming on the moon, with tens of millions of acres of rice and fruits, is also quite beautiful.

Moreover, Kowloon Star Exploration Co., Ltd. is cooperating with SA to plan aerial photography of the moon and launch remote sensing satellites, meteorological satellites, surveying satellites and navigation satellites to the moon. Kowloon Star Exploration Co., Ltd. itself wants to participate in the development of the moon, which is very important for Kowloon Star Exploration Co., Ltd.

This is great news for Discovery Ltd.

Next, there was a real seminar on the moon landing project. Representatives spoke one by one. Aliens made bold claims that commercial manned spaceflight would be realized in the next five years. You only need to buy a ticket to travel into space. In the next 10 years,

Achieve manned landing on the moon and send people on earth to travel to the moon.

Anyway, this kind of bold statement belongs to the future, and there is no need to pay taxes when bragging. Musk also made a bold statement at the beginning that he would colonize Mars, but until now, he has not seen even a shadow of it.

During lunch, Liu Yichen and the others were in a separate box.

"Director Ye, Director Zhang, if the aerospace budget is doubled, it will be equivalent to almost 4 billion U.S. dollars a year. It will be a bit difficult to achieve manned moon landing with this amount of money." Liu Yichen was a little confused: "The aerospace market is so good now.

Big, you should have made a profit, and the profit is not small, why is it only 4 billion US dollars?"

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Things have to be done step by step. This money comes from national financial allocations, and other income is not included. Now the two sides are quarreling and the heat is rising. It is also a good idea to drag them to the space track to compete.

Not bad."

"Principal Liu, in terms of science, technology and academic level, you are at this level." Director Ye smiled and said, "But at this level of thinking, you are still lacking."

Liu Yichen looked thoughtful, and gradually Liu Yichen understood. In fact, this lunar landing project seminar has another meaning, which is to let the other side of the Pacific enter the space track, so as not to always focus on the earth.

, in this way, you can also consume the opponent's strength, so that the opponent's strength is not too strong and there is no place to vent it, always like a red-eyed bull.

But the question is will the other party enter this track?

Liu Yichen thought about it and got a definite answer - yes!

Because this is a conspiracy!

Who told you to keep promoting that you were the first man to land on the moon, that your aerospace technology is unparalleled, and that you can explore the entire solar system and the entire universe?

Who told you? Even after half a century, there has never been a stop to discuss and argue about whether NASA has manned a manned moon landing. The doubts have never disappeared. It is very simple to make these doubts disappear, that is, NASA will launch a manned moon landing again.

Man lands on the moon.

Who told you that NASA is suffering from cuts in funding, and its life is getting worse day by day? I think NASA is willing to use this as a threat to ask for more funding from the Congressmen. The funding of 20 billion US dollars a year is not enough, so why not?
