Li Mu had invested in SpaceX earlier, but that investment was only based on SpaceX to develop recyclable launch vehicles, and did not include anything related to Mars colonization.
If the entire Martian colonization is a huge commercial real estate project, then the recyclable rocket is at most a retail room of this commercial real estate project.
According to Elon Musk, if you want to colonize Mars, you must first study heavy-duty recoverable rockets, and then study heavy-duty spacecraft and study the various hardware needed to survive on Mars.
But that's not enough.
If you want to really send people and things to Mars, you have to get a space station.
This is really a black hole of capital, and no matter how much money you spend, you may not be able to hear it.
However, at this moment, Li Mu was suddenly moved.
He really wanted to try it out, to see if Lao Tzu could do something more awesome, such as sending people to Mars.
As a world-class billionaire, he also cares about how he will be remembered in the future.
In the world's rich circle, there are many predecessors who are remembered by the world.
These people are also remembered differently.
Some are remembered for changing the world;
Some are remembered as exploiting the world;
Some are remembered as naked donations;
Some are remembered for divorcing their wives;
And it has to be remembered for using real estate to drink up the blood of the younger generation.
Li Mu is willing to do more charity, to do something truly meaningful, teaching people to fish instead of giving them fish.
Besides charity, he also wants to change the world.
He has the world's largest communication software, the world's largest social network, and the world's largest smartphone ecosystem in the future, all of which will change the world to a great extent.
Now, inspired by Elon Musk, he has a new idea.
He wants to be remembered by the world through space exploration.
So he said to Elon Musk, "Elon, if I invest 10 billion dollars in you in the next ten years, can you lead the world and send people safely to Mars and bring them back safely?"
Hearing this, Elon Musk was immediately excited. He looked at Li Mu in disbelief and exclaimed, "Mr. Li, you are willing to invest in the Mars project"
Li Mu said, "Don't worry about whether I want it or not, I'll ask you, if I invest 10 billion US dollars in ten years, can you achieve human landing on Mars?"
Elon Musk thought about it and said, "The Apollo program in the 1960s cost a total of 100 billion US dollars, and the purchasing power of the 100 billion US dollars at that time is at least now."
Li Mu interrupted him, "Elon, stop bullshitting me, the Apollo plan is to build high-rise buildings from the ground, and everything has to start from scratch. Can the current aerospace industry be the same as that time? Don't forget that you are now Standing on the shoulders of giants."
Elon Musk nodded "Yes, it is indeed standing on the shoulders of giants, but don't we also hope that we can stand higher than giants? The only space body that humans have visited so far is the moon, which is only a few hundred thousand kilometers away from the earth. That's it, but when the Earth is closest to Mars, it is 50 to 60 million kilometers away, which is a dozen times worse, and it is also many times more complicated."
After saying that, Elon Musk said, "If you want to go to the moon, a Saturn V is enough, but if you want to go to Mars, and you can go to Mars at the maximum speed, you must have a space station. If you want to save fuel, the journey to Mars must be at least one way. It takes eight months, and there is a delay of more than three seconds between Houston and the spacecraft when landing on the moon, because it takes more than one second to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and it takes more than one second for the signal to come back. , if it is Mars, it may be a few minutes or even 20 minutes away. In this way, it is difficult to control the aircraft manually. Once it reaches Mars, the aircraft must rely on the program calculated in advance by the supercomputer to enter the orbit and land. automatic completion"
Li Mu said, "I don't understand what you said at all, but I have planned a development route for you to use capital to arm Mars landing.
"
After speaking, Li Mu continued, "I promised to invest 10 billion US dollars in the Mars plan first. Don't think it's too little. This is just my preliminary conservative estimate. If the capital realization channel of my own industry is smooth in the future, the 100 billion US dollars will not be there. Then, but, we are in business, and we must consider risks when doing business. What if one day Muye Technology fails? What if one day Taobao Technology fails? What if one day both of them fail? My company's market value It will be seriously shrunk, and my personal assets will also be severely shrunk. The so-called worth hundreds of billions of dollars is not real money, and the industry is changing rapidly. If my industry cools down, most of my worth will disappear."
"You should have heard of the big crash in Hong Kong's property prices. Before the crash, I had 5 million in cash, and then I bought a real estate developed by Mr. Li Jiacheng, worth 10 million, with a down payment of 5 million and a commercial loan. I brought a profit of 10 million, but the real estate was just bought, and the property market collapsed. What should I do about the house that was originally worth 10 million and was still rising, and now it is only worth 3 million. I spent my own 5 million, I owe 10 million to the bank, but the house is only worth 3 million. It’s the same if you say I want to jump off the building and switch to the Internet industry. So many big companies also collapse. I promise you 100 billion dollars today, you press this Planning to spend, I can't keep up with the rhythm in the next year, don't you want to jump off the building?"
Elon Musk nodded and said, "Mr. Li, what is the development route of your capital-armed Mars landing?"
Li Mu said, "It's very simple. First, I promise an investment of 10 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to an endorsement of this project, and then we will invest all the future profits of SpaceX. At the same time, SpaceX is also financing the dream of launching the Mars project around the world. How did you fool me with the human, space, and ideal set of things just now, when you take this set of things, go and scan the Forbes rich list for me, find one by one, and find me if you don’t move, I will help You are fooling."
"At the same time, your space passenger plan is also launched simultaneously. Let's flick together, I'll help you promote the space tourist plan, and then you will be in charge of flickering. When the time comes, whoever is interested, invite him to visit spacex, and I will provide Internet media. Full exposure, as long as he is willing to participate, we will expose him everywhere as an advanced, great, and very challenging space travel pioneer, and this name alone is enough for them to be stunned for a long time."
"Whoever is interested at that time will pay a part of the intention payment first, and we will sign a contract of intention with him. The first person to pay will be the first to go up, the second to pay the second, and so on. When I feel cowardly and don’t dare to go up, we will not refund the ticket.”
"After paying the intent fee, find an opportunity to continue to fool these space travelers and sell them some higher-level things, such as asking them if they want to name a launch vehicle, or a spacecraft, or if they want to hold an event. A unique space wedding."
"You can even ask them if they are interested in holding a space funeral after they die in the future, and buy themselves a space tomb in advance. At that time, we will put the ashes in a titanium alloy jar and send him into space, just like the Voyager, Flying towards the center of the Milky Way, think about it, after hundreds of millions of years, the earth will be extinct, and his ashes are still wandering in the universe. memory, great is not great or awesome is not awesome”
Elon Musk smiled and said, "Listening to you, I want to prepare a copy for myself. How about you, Mr. Li, do you want to travel to the stars together after death?"
Li Mu said with a smile, "You must be one step ahead of me. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you by then."
After speaking, Li Mu said again, "Personally, I prefer to freeze myself before I die, and see if the technology in the future can bring me back to life."
Elon Musk said "this one is difficult."
Li Mu said, "Although it is very difficult, there are also wealthy people who buy the freezing business in advance. For a few million dollars, they can freeze their bodies for hundreds of years. I heard that this business sells quite well. We are cheaper, as long as Hundreds of thousands of dollars can send his ashes to space. At that time, a flight will try to carry the ashes of thousands of people, and then send them to space travel in one breath to achieve a higher level of spirituality and liberation. "
Immediately afterwards, Li Mu asked again, "Your launch cost itself is constantly decreasing, and this transaction is not a bloody profit."
Elon Musk said, "If it can be sold at this price, it is really a lot of income, but I don't know how feasible it is."
Li Mu said, "I'm only responsible for planning the route for you. How feasible is it? You need to operate it yourself."
Having said that, Li Mu said again, "Actually, what I mean is that since we are going to do this, we must try our best to make money. You can start a lot more businesses like this, how can you get money? Come."
"If anyone is more daring and wants to directly give the body a space funeral, they will add money according to the weight list. In short, as long as it is a service that can be sold, you will sell it."
"In a word, use all the methods you can use to fool more investment."
Speaking of this, Li Mu said again, "Also, for a business like yours that is impossible to make money, you must not use financing to find people to invest money. ; If you like to be curious, let him feel curious; if you like to join in the fun, you will make a big fun and let him join in the fun, do you know how you impress me?"
Elon Musk shook his head and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Li, what moved you?"
Li Mu said, "Actually, I just took a look at my assets and found that I might not be able to spend it at all, no matter how I spend it. Instead of spending it and putting it in the bank as a number, I might as well take a part out and become a A spaceship to go around Mars."
