From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia was amused by Johnny Payne's statement...

That is to say, there is abundant water here, and the micro-nuclear core power generation provided by Boss Qiao is used...

If it is replaced by coal power generation or wind power and hydro power generation, the cost of power generation will be a big problem if the base is placed in this place.

Power transmission loss is a problem for countries around the world, but no matter how large the loss is, it is not as exaggerated as 75%.

Looking at Johnny Payne's embarrassed expression, Qiao Jia said unhappily: "Man, I don't care about your waste of electricity, but I want to ask you, do you think we have a chance to build a 10-meter building on the moon? About acres of nuclear power plants?

I can also see the benefits of wireless transmission, but do you think the data you just gave me is really suitable? "

Johnny Payne stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and then said helplessly: "Boss, you didn't come up with the idea of ​​​​the moon project for a long time, and we don't have enough time.

In fact, two months ago, the development direction of Telos robots has been harsh environments such as space stations and deep seas.

Even this microwave power transmission equipment was manufactured by us so as not to waste the power from nuclear power plants. "

As he spoke, Johnny Payne invited Qiao Jia to the pool below the waterfall and said: "Boss, there is an underwater cave below.

Our server equipment is currently underwater and is still expanding. Those robots are the main force in construction.

However, during the underwater construction, we discovered an underwater cave covering an area of ​​approximately thousands of hectares.

Then we thought, no matter how bad the lunar environment is, as long as we can complete the base construction practice in the underwater cave, it will prove that we have the ability to build a base on the moon.

Construction in water allows our people to adapt to the microgravity environment and at the same time provides experimental data for our AI intelligent system.

As long as robots can meet the needs of lunar construction, we can seek solutions from other technology companies for the remaining specific problems.

The moon landing is a very large system project. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, demand for the moon landing project disappeared in the United States, so many companies that participated in it have disappeared.

Currently, NASA has no plans to land on the moon again. If we, a private company, want to try to land on the moon, we must rely on the global industrial chain.

Fortunately, we are not considering using astronauts to land, and the current exploration vehicle landing is already a relatively mature technology for some powerful countries...

Boss, I think you can talk to China about customizing the rocket and landing module according to our current needs. It is not a big problem for your current financial resources.

However, building a lunar base is a very large project, and the technology involved is very complex.

At present, China is the only country in the world that has enough lunar soil for research. If possible, we would like to outsource scientific research projects to Chinese research institutes.

We must understand the specific composition of the lunar soil to judge whether we can seek building materials from the lunar soil.

If this point cannot be broken through, then before there is a revolutionary breakthrough in rocket technology, the moon base is just a fantasy, because the cost of sending things from the earth to the moon is too terrible. "

Qiao Jia looked at Johnny Payne who was getting more and more excited as he talked. He shook his head slightly and said, "What you are talking about is an ideal state. Even if China's scientific research institutions tell you that lunar soil can become the main component of concrete." Ingredients, tell me, what are you going to use to mix it?

Step one, man, step one is important!

You have to prove to me that these robots are reliable enough and have a complete lunar charging solution that can withstand scrutiny before I can try to find external funding and technology.

Musk's SpaceX has raised huge amounts of money by relying on recyclable rockets that can only fly 700 kilometers.

You have to give me a 'reason' that can convince others to cooperate with me!

I don’t have the fucking time for you to start from scratch with rocket technology like SpaceX, but as long as you prove that our robots are an indispensable part of building a moon base, we will have enough leverage to attract others to join the game.

I did have a lot of money, more than I could ever use, but my numbers simply couldn't meet such a huge need.

I spent a lot of money, and next year the Chinese Space Administration will help us launch six high-orbit large communication satellites.

I hope to be able to drive down the price of heavy-lift rockets through quantity, and send our first lunar landing spacecraft that does not need to return to the moon within three years.

Man, this is what I can do, but if I want to have more development and find more financing, I need more chips...

A reliable robot, and a model of a moon landing spacecraft that can stand up to scrutiny...

You don’t have to worry about the return of the damn spacecraft, just find a way to stuff everything you think is useful into it, and unfold it after you get to the moon...

We don’t need to obtain any great scientific research results. As long as we prove the feasibility of a lunar base, I will have a way to attract big households to join. "

After hearing this, Johnny Payne spread his hands with excitement and helplessness and said: "Boss, I am a robotics scientist. In fact, there are not many people working on aerospace projects in the Hexagon Building...

What you said may seem easy, but it is actually very difficult.

If someone provides us with the design drawings of the lunar landing spacecraft, it is possible for us to calculate and design the load according to the internal structure of the spacecraft.

But if we start from scratch, this kind of project is almost impossible to complete without the help of professionals.

Boss, you are a little too impatient. The aerospace field is a huge system project. What we should consider is to cooperate with other people from the beginning.

The first step you mentioned, in my opinion, should not be implemented on the moon..."

Johnny Payne pointed to the water pool next to him and said: "Here, underwater, as long as we can use robots to build an underwater base, it will be enough to prove our technical capabilities.

If you want to seek dominance, I think you can build a space center in Somalia or Gabon. Both places have convenient seaports that can be used to transport supplies.

If you are particularly impatient, you can actually buy a recyclable rocket from SpaceX.

At present, their rocket launch height cannot achieve the effect of breaking through the earth's orbit, but as long as you can prove your determination and prove the possible benefits after landing on the moon, these are all problems that can be solved.

I have checked a lot of information recently, and the existence of water ice has been found at both poles of the moon, which means that there may be "water" on the moon.

As long as there is water, our micro nuclear power plant has a chance to land on the moon and operate.

As long as there is water and enough electricity, we can obtain oxygen and hydrogen as fuel through electrolysis, and we can even obtain other resources on the moon to replenish materials in situ...

There is a huge amount of aluminum, silicon, and iron out there. As long as we can find a suitable method, everything you say is theoretically possible.

It’s just that Hexagon’s current technical capabilities cannot do it…”

After Johnny Payne finished speaking, Qiao Jia fell into deep thought...

Boss Qiao has a plug-in, but he basically knows nothing about aviation technology...

He waved his hand to signal Johnny Payne not to speak, then he walked to the edge of the pool, squatted there and took the cool pool water to wash his face to calm his heated mind. Finally, he simply took off his shoes and sat by the water. Putting my feet into the puddle...

Several children are the targets of the Hexagon's engineers because too many of their projects have been put on hold due to funding issues.

But as long as they can win the favor of a few children and mention that Young Master Igor is interested in this project when reporting, they can easily apply for additional funds from the landlady.

Nice doesn't care about raising children at all, but when it comes to "spending money for children", she is definitely at the ceiling level.

This is a typical emotion that you don’t have enough money to collect!

According to Nice's theory, you can't just "raise" things. If you don't have the ability, you can't do anything about it. But if you have the ability, you should spend money on "raising".

The most important thing about "raising children" is actually letting them "play" and then find their interests through "playing".

In a way, Nice is the best mother in the world.

Because she has never regarded the child as an accessory to herself, but has placed herself in the position of a stepping stone and regarded the child as a very important passer-by in her life...

Igor doesn't feel anything is wrong now, because he has no shortage of people who love him.

When he faced the temptation of a group of 'Frankensteins', it was difficult not to fall into their 'trap'.

The fat Chinese engineer who once had an acquaintance with Boss Qiao and developed the 'Sagittarius Robot' has come up with his latest masterpiece 'Scorpio'...

The mighty scorpion-shaped robot has demonstrated extraordinary abilities with the support of microwave charging. It can climb mountains and wades easily, and walking with a load is even easier. The most interesting thing is that the tail of the scorpion is a so-called laser transmitter. In a few seconds A bell can burn a black spot on a tree...

Showing this thing to Qiao Jia, it was a big toy that looked useless, but Igor had an unusual preference for this kind of fierce and fierce-looking thing.

He rode the 'Scorpio' around twice, and at the urging of his fat brother with a simple and honest smile, he pressed his fingerprint on a project fund application form. Then, at the urging of his fat brother, he rode a car as big as a car chassis. Scorpion ran to his father's side, grabbed his biological father's hand, and pressed a fingerprint worth hundreds of thousands.

By the time Boss Qiao recovered from his thoughts, it was already too late...

But watching my son ride the more stable Scorpion and call two big dogs to hammer those engineering robots into trouble...

Facing the fat man's honest smile, Qiao Jia shook his head and laughed, and said: "I'm not a handicraft factory here, so what's the point of making these toys?

Next time, don’t do this kind of thing that runs on the ground. If you have the ability to get something that flies in the sky or swims in the water, I will personally approve the money for you..."

As Qiao Jia looked at the fat man's eyes shining, he suddenly felt something was not good, so he added: "The new robot must have some practical effect..."

The fat man felt aggrieved and wanted to explain that his 'Scorpio' was still very powerful.

However, seeing that Boss Qiao seemed unwilling to pay attention to him, he sniffed and turned to look at the scumbag Igor, feeling that his future career would still fall on this young master.

The eldest son of P·B doesn’t care about money, he only wants to have fun, and he is easier to fool!

Qiao Jia knew the fat man's thoughts very clearly, but he didn't care. His stupid son's fingerprints couldn't approve more than 7 figures of funds...

And anyway, we are burning money on robot projects. It doesn’t matter whether we are doing it right or not, because the technology accumulation generated by burning money will always generate some value in the future.

Among the Master Chief's team provided by 'Mountain Eagle', robots in animal form are more useful than humanoid robots, which is clear evidence.

Who can say that the fat man's method of burning is definitely wrong?

Seeing that everyone had found entertainment items, Qiao Jia smiled and shook his head, then took out his phone and called Baiya who was in charge of the overall situation in Yemen...

"Baiya, contact the people in Somalia. I want to get a piece of land near Kismayo in southern Somalia..."

"Boss, what is the purpose of the land?"

Qiao Jia hesitated for a while and finally said: "I want to build a space center. Whether it can succeed in the end depends on whether I can get sponsorship, but it is always right to get the land first..."

"Space Center?"

Qiaojia listened to Baiya's somewhat inflected exclamation, and he said calmly: "On the Afica equator, only Somalia and Gabon are suitable for developing space centers.

Launching rockets on the equator can save a lot of fuel costs. Even if we can’t do it ourselves in the end, it doesn’t matter. If we build the infrastructure well, we can rent it to others for use..."
