Chapter 990 Rigorous Logic, Theory and Imagination

Increase the plan's funds from 100 million US dollars to 2 billion US dollars in one go, and increase the capital budget by 20 times. The most important thing is that this plan is completely a waste of money plan with no profit.

Even Cai Ruichen needs to think carefully about taking out two billion dollars to carry out such a plan.

Because there is a great possibility that all the efforts of the whole plan will result in the failure of the plan. After all, space travel is full of various dangers, various rays, and meteorite belts that may need to pass through. Even if there are satellites that can reach Alpha Star, it is entirely possible that there is no gain at all.

For a large investment exploration plan that is several light years away, for many investors, not everyone can make up their minds immediately.

Upon hearing Cai Ruichen's words, not only Zuckerberg died a little bit, but even Milner, the main promoter, was a little surprised.

However, since Cai Ruichen wants to join such a plan, he naturally cannot waste everyone's time, and then said: "We will form the main research team together, and the production costs of all satellites will also be borne by the Future Technology Group, and follow-up Everything beyond the cost will also be borne by the Science and Technology Development Foundation of the Future Technology Group. The launch work will also be undertaken by the Future Aerospace Corporation. As for the construction of the very large optical antenna array..."

Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen paused and continued: "My plan is to build 900 optical antenna arrays, and the location will be in Australia. Compared with any place in the world, Australia is the most suitable. I believe the Australian government will support us. For the construction cost, the Future Technology Group can undertake the entire construction work, as for the materials, the entire planning department needs to provide them, but it is estimated that the cost of materials alone may exceed 200 million to 300 million U.S. dollars."

Hearing that Cai Ruichen took a large amount of expenses on himself, the three people at the scene all admired Cai Ruichen's mind.

After all, a billion dollars is not a small sum. This money. Enough to buy several technology companies with unlimited potential.

And Cai Ruichen was able to make such a decision without blinking his eyes, and it was a temporary decision, which made Zuckerberg and Milner extremely admired.

Now Cai Ruichen has assumed most of the funds. And they invited Cai Ruichen to join this plan, even if it really cost an extra 100 to 200 million dollars. Compared with being able to advance half the time, that is completely acceptable, even welcome.

soon. The four of them began to discuss some technical details...

In fact, this plan is for ordinary people. They are all too far away, even irrelevant,

The reason why Cai Ruichen is willing to join. Just because he, like many people, either deeply believes or doubts the existence of extraterrestrial life.

View the process of human beings' own understanding of the universe. From the geocentric theory, to the heliocentric theory, to the big bang, and the exploration results of the moon, Mars and Pluto. Many things that were once unimaginable or thought impossible have all become reality.

The development of science requires rigorous logic and theory, but human imagination is even more indispensable.

Regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life, for Cai Ruichen, the more he understands the base and the more knowledge he has, the more he is convinced of the existence of this possibility.

It's like rolling a dice. It is simply impossible for a dice to roll out a six every time.

If there is only one star, the sun, in the entire universe, the existence of life forms in other places is almost zero.

But let alone the universe, the billions of stars in the entire Milky Way are like billions of dice rolled at the same time. No matter what the result is, there will definitely be the number six.

What's more, Cai Ruichen can shuttle between the two worlds, and the base is a bridge connecting the two worlds. As the saying goes, existence is reasonable, so he firmly believes that human beings are absolutely not alone in the universe.

Moreover, the base has repeatedly emphasized that there will be powerful enemies in the future, enemies that are difficult to deal with, and on the earth, Cai Ruichen really can't think of anything that can threaten the future powerful Red Police Corps.

And every time Cai Ruichen thinks of this, he can't help but focus his eyes on the boundless universe. Perhaps only those alien beings with stronger technology can make the base so fearful.

Of course, this is just Cai Ruichen's guess, without the slightest basis, and the base has neither admitted nor denied it, just saying that now is not the time to talk about it.

For this reason, Cai Ruichen has always been concerned about the exploration of the universe. The space station is also a part of the plan. At the same time, there are many space ejection equipment under construction.

In the eyes of the outside world, this just shows that the Future Technology Group has been preparing for the future space exploration work. In fact, Cai Ruichen wants to find out if he can find some signs of life in the neighboring stars near the solar system .

Not only to satisfy curiosity, but also to prepare for a rainy day in his heart.

If it is really discovered that there is a developed technological civilization, it is not only a human problem, Cai Ruichen cares more about such a civilization.

"This plan can be finalized in this way first, but I think we should find a time to announce this latest plan. After all, with the addition of Dr. Cai and Future Technology Group, it can also bring more attention to this plan. degree." Zuckerberg proposed after a large number of issues were discussed.

"You can figure it out. If you need me to attend, just let me know in advance." Cai Ruichen nodded and said.

"Naturally, it is necessary. This is our first cooperation. If the whole plan is successful, no matter what is discovered, it will be a great success for mankind." Milner said excitedly.

"Mr. Milner is very confident, but I am also very interested in another plan of Mr. Milner."

Cai Ruichen smiled slightly at Milner, and then continued: "I have learned that before this plan, there are two other plans, and the addition of the three plans is actually a very great plan for the exploration of life in the universe. For I am also very interested in the other two projects under this huge plan."

Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Milner's face immediately revealed a look of surprise. One of the purposes of his cooperation with Hawking to invite Cai Ruichen this time is to get as much help as possible from the Future Technology Group for the entire huge plan. (to be continued.):
