Chapter 550 Sudden interest rate hike

In the office of the Aerospace Academy, Xu You is conducting research on the construction technology of the lunar scientific research base.

Although the location of the first lunar scientific research base has been decided, there are still many technical work to be solved.

After all, there is a big gap between the environment on the moon and the earth, and many technologies cannot be copied directly from the past.

At this time, Lin Shi was also staying by Xu You's side, thinking about the same thing.

Seeing Lin Shi thinking seriously, Xu You couldn't help asking:

"Lin Shi, what do you think about the construction of the lunar scientific research base?"

Lin Shi thought about it and replied:

"The specific details have not been considered yet, but the basic principles have been determined."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Xu You also became interested in Lin Shi’s ideas and wanted to see if she had thought about it with her.

"The first principle is safety and reliability. The lunar base we build must think of all possible safety issues to ensure that astronauts can safely complete various tasks at the lunar scientific research base."

Xu You couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Lin Shi was indeed very similar to herself in this regard.

No matter which aspect of research is done, safety issues will be considered first.

If even security issues cannot be guaranteed, then no matter how powerful the technology is, it will become meaningless.

"The second principle is economic rationality. Moon exploration is a breakthrough project after all, and the main focus is still in the future. It cannot be said that it is closely related to everyone's current life. In this regard, we must do our best.

Possible cost savings and avoid excessive waste. Including the processing, reuse of various equipment, etc., all need to be considered."

Xu You smiled softly when he heard this, and agreed with Lin Shi's idea.

It can be seen that Lin Shi is planning this project from all angles, just like herself.

Many people will not consider such details at all.

"The third principle is to use materials locally. If all the materials are transported from the earth by a launch vehicle, the amount of materials that need to be transported will be too large, not only for the rocket's carrying capacity, it will be extremely large.

The test, and this is not a long-term solution. I think a lot of materials can be mined directly on the moon."

The angle that Lin Shi considered directly touched Xu You's heart.

It can be said that this is the answer Xu You most wants to hear.

Before this, Xu You was also thinking about how to maximize the use of the moon's resources to complete the establishment of a lunar scientific research base.

After all, so many parts that need to be built cannot be transported from the earth by launch vehicles.

"Okay, very good. Lin Shi, your idea is basically the same as mine. Next, we will conduct research on detailed techniques in these directions."

Lin Shi was also very happy to receive praise from Xu You.

"It's still your influence on your experience. I have learned a little bit, and I still need to continue working hard after that!"

At noon, Xu You, Lin Shi, Lu Zhiyao, Xu Zhou, Hu Shucheng and others gathered together for lunch.

At this time, Hu Shucheng talked about the latest news.

"Do you guys know that just this morning, Sam's Sam Fed announced that the benchmark interest rate had been raised by 80 basis points. This rate hike is Sam's biggest rate hike in nearly two decades."

When everyone heard this news, they felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.

"Sam's inflation is actually quite serious now. This method can cope with the risks brought by inflation to a certain extent." Xu Zhou said.

Xu Zhou was also very concerned about the practical part like Hu Shucheng, which made the two people quickly discuss the topic.

"But, will not continue to print money, increase inflation? This way, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, can easily cause a vicious cycle." Lin Shi said.

Hearing Lin Shi’s questions, Hu Shucheng couldn’t help laughing.

"Teacher Lin, you still don't know Sam well enough. Normally, printing money casually will indeed increase inflation and will not fundamentally solve the problem. But you have to know that Mi Yuan now has a hegemony in the world.

of."

After hearing what Hu Shucheng explained, Lin Shi immediately reacted.

"Old Hu, what you mean is that even if Sam prints money, the price is not borne by Sam, but by the whole world sharing the cost?"

"That's right, that's what it means. There's no way, who made this an era of Mi Yuan hegemony? The whole world recognizes Mi Yuan, and their every move needs to be shared by the whole world."

Unless you don’t buy Mi Yuan’s account at all, no country can be immune to any impact.

At this time, Xu You said calmly: "This is a crisis and an opportunity for the whole world. If we can take this opportunity to gradually enhance the status of Chinese currency in the world, we can sooner or later replace Mi Yuan.

of."

"Teacher, what should I do specifically?"

Lin Shi knew very little about this and asked curiously.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, the reason why Mi Yuan has such a strong position in the world is because Sam's strength is too strong. This strength is reflected in technology, military, economics, etc.."

No matter in any aspect, Sam can be the world's number one, so Mi Yuan will naturally have such a strong position.

"As long as we are close to and surpass Sam in these aspects, it will not be difficult to establish the status of Chinese currency in the world."

Xu You can't do much military and economically.

However, in terms of technology, Xu You is already confident that he will surpass Sam.

"I understand, so the teacher has always hoped that we can become the world's new academic center. We also have this consideration, right?"

Lin Shi quickly figured out all this, which made Xu You very satisfied.

"Yes, I did have such an idea at that time. In addition to completing my personal research work, I also hope that through my strength, our country will become stronger."

Lu Zhiyao didn't speak much at the dinner table because she was the only one here who was not a major in science and engineering. She was afraid that she had said something wrong, so she still thought it would be better to listen to it more.

At this time, Lu Zhiyao suddenly envied Lin Shi a little.

Lin Shi and Xu You are also studying the same field, and can always understand Xu You's meaning faster and help Xu You on many issues.

Even though Lu Zhiyao came to the Aerospace Academy with Xu You, he could not help Xu You too much in terms of professional issues.

Lu Zhiyao's feeling did not last long and he soon felt relieved.
