Military Technology

Moon city?

Chen Guangping shook his head involuntarily, not because he didn't believe it, but because he didn't like this project at all.

There are many factors for the formation of a city, or it is located in a place with convenient transportation, such as Jiangcheng, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, the crossroads of North China, Pengcheng, a battleground for military strategists, and the city's commercial capital brought by trains, etc.

Either it is a resource-based city, such as a legendary city in southern Sichuan, Panzhihua, which is famous for its iron ore. Another example is Daqing, the capital of oil, Anshan, the city of steel, and Hegang, which is said to be the city with the lowest housing prices in China, where you can buy a house for tens of thousands of yuan.

The establishment of these cities is all because of a certain mineral resource, which attracts people from all directions to gather, and finally forms a city. The pillar industry of this city is minerals, so it was born because of mines, prospered because of mines, declined because of mines, and forgotten because of mines.

In addition to mineral resources, there are also cities with natural resources, such as Jiamusi, which is rich in forest resources, and Zhoushan, which is rich in fishery resources, and Zigong, an ancient city that rose because of salt, and so on.

There is another category, commercial cities. The embryonic form of these cities may be a trading market, or a farmers' market, and eventually form a commercial city. The most representative one is naturally the commercial sea. This once small county on the banks of the Huangpu River was forced to open up because of unequal treaties, and finally formed an international metropolis, a commercial center, and a financial center.

What's more, it is a comprehensive city. These cities are generally metropolises, and the ancient ones are like the capitals of some dynasties, such as Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Jinling and so on.

In addition, there is also a tourist city, which rises because of a certain tourist attraction, which is also a resource. The most famous of them should be Mount Huangshan, which is a city named directly after a mountain and a tourist attraction. Similar to Wuyi Mountain, Mount Emei and so on.

So looking at it this way, what is the basis of this lunar city, or how to position it. To put it bluntly, what does this city rely on to operate? This is the primary question before everyone.

Tourism, moon tourism? Counting one, but how many people can really have the money to pay to travel to the moon, and how can they support the operation of a city.

Relying on scientific research, it seems that ordinary scientific research stations are fine, there is no need to build a city.

Relying on minerals, mining on the moon, how to transport them back, this is the first problem to be solved. If you can't solve this problem, don't mention it.

Moon immigration, moon settlement, moon city? After Chen Guangping uttered these three words, he fell silent immediately.

Wu Hao naturally heard what Chen Guangping meant,

Obviously, he is very pessimistic about this project.

So he nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, this project is indeed very difficult, and even now it is a bit whimsical.

But a hundred years ago, who would have thought that our people could live in space for a long time, and even visit the moon. Now we humans are all starting to plan to land on Mars.

So this seemingly whimsical, daydreaming thing, everything is possible, maybe one day it will really come true.

In our opinion, this project is still very feasible, and in terms of commercial value, its prospects are also very broad.

First of all, the moon city project will get us a lot of financial sponsorship. This is an international commercial project, so it will help us obtain more project development funds and related support.

If it can be operated well, not only will it not owe money, but it will also make money, and it will be a big profit. "

For example, learn from Musk, once again preaching that he will land on Mars, and once again sell his own electric car? Chen Guangping joked with a smile.

Hehehe, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I'm not as thick-skinned as him, and I don't bother to do that kind of thing.

The commercial operation I am talking about is based on the project itself. Among other things, the naming and advertising effect, copyright and the like are already very expensive.

Then there are other business cooperations. Anyway, after this period, it is also a very impressive number.

Let me give you an example. At present, some consumer goods, beverages, or luxury goods are endorsed or titled. If you invite first-line popular idol stars, it will cost hundreds of millions of yuan a year.

If it is the endorsement of a certain event or event, this is at least tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion for larger events.

Even the advertising fees for some variety shows are several hundred million.

So compared to these popular idol stars, events, and variety shows. If our project is successful, its influence will not only be limited to the domestic market, but also international.

Let’s not say anything else, let’s just say that we designate a certain type of milk as the special milk for astronauts on our moon base, and bring one or two bottles to the moon for display. Guess how much such an advertisement can sell? "

According to your statement, it will cost several hundred million, right? Chen Guangping said with a smile.

Wu Hao laughed and said: "A few hundred million, you underestimate us too much. We spent so much effort to show them advertisements on the moon, and a few hundred million will send us away?"

Hehehe, if you want to say that you have a dark heart, no one can compare to you businessmen, you really dare to open your mouth like a lion. Chen Guangping cursed with a smile, and then asked: "I'm afraid these alone are not enough for your investment cost, and then what?"

"Then, as I told you before, sell tickets and engage in tourism. Build a few resort hotels in the moon city, and then attract the rich and even people from the earth to come and stay for a few days. This way, come and go, and then stay for a few days The sum of the cost is also very considerable. Moreover, the key to this thing is that the cost is relatively small, and it belongs to the green industry and long-term industry.”

Is that still not enough? Chen Guangping asked.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile: "In the end, it's mining.

There are abundant mineral resources on the moon, especially some precious mineral resources, such as helium three, which is abundant on the moon but very rare on the earth.

If we can mine this precious resource and then transport it back to the earth, it will definitely be a very profitable product.

Moreover, helium 3 is not like other solid mineral resources, but a kind of gas. After it is compressed, it is easy to store and transport.

So in the future, helium-3 will be one of our main target resources for mining on the moon.

In addition to helium-3, there are other rare resources, as well as some unique resources on the moon that we have not yet discovered.

We will smelt and purify these resources on site, digest some of them on site, and transport some of them back to the earth. "
