Chapter 1171: Lazy Gods Don't Make Money
In the early morning of October 5th, Lu Zhenguo came to Lazy God Island again, walking quickly along the deep path, moving his body.
In the past few days, he has become more and more fond of this small island. The small island is not big, but it is scattered and hidden. One step at a time, although it still lacks a little simplicity brought by time, it has reached the extreme of artificial landscaping. .
What is even more shocking is that such an artificial island is actually built on the top of a huge building. His feet are not ordinary rocks as they appear on the surface, but the rocks in this world. , one of the greatest buildings.
The ground and the ground are completely different, but they are equally great, making people walk on them with a surge of emotion.
In the past few days, the dignitaries from various countries who came to Lazy God Island also took a boat to visit Lazy God Island. When we came to a glass curtain wall that looked like the pupil of a giant gazing at the sky, the shock could not be conveyed by any pictures or videos.
Shock, and the silence after the shock.
Not to mention, in the recent period, almost every hour, the launch of the "Bridge of Stars" can be seen. Under the condition that no one is sitting on the ground, and the materials launched are not expensive and fragile, the "Bridge of Stars" can Accelerate as much as you want, and when you exit the exit, the speed has reached the first cosmic speed. Coupled with the simple boost of the auxiliary rocket to overcome the air resistance, the "Earth-Moon Train" type spaceships seem to be free of money. shot into space.
Only by watching the launch of the "Bridge of Stars" up close and in person can we truly understand the importance of the "Earth Trebuchet".
Instead of carrying a large amount of fuel, the heavy multi-stage rocket only needs a few small auxiliary rockets to boost it. Every time it launches, it can carry hundreds of tons of material, and this also means that every hour, space There is one more "International Space Station".
And the real "earth trebuchet" can launch more matter, can increase the speed to a higher level, and even directly reach the second and third cosmic speeds!
Think about it, the "rocks" thrown by the "earth trebuchet" can land directly on the moon or even on Mars without propulsion!
This is the power of technology!
In contrast, the carrying capacity of the space elevator is not enough, and each track, between the stations, can only accommodate one elevator for the up and down. No wonder the lazy god regards the space elevator as a means of transportation for humans .
But even so, they are still hungry for a space elevator.
"Bridge of stars" is the bridge of stars in China.
The earth trebuchet is the earth trebuchet for people all over the world.
In other words, it is the earth trebuchet of the lazy god system.
Only the space elevator, they can still get a piece of the pie, if they don't work hard, they will only be thrown farther and farther in the future.
In this world, what is truly precious is not resources, but scarcity.
They were all waiting silently, waiting for Nan Ming to appear.
But, where have these bigwigs from the lazy gods gone?
Lu Zhenguo swung his arms like an old man and an old lady exercising in the park, breathing in the fresh air with big gulps, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be wiped away.
I don't know why, but this garden gives people a different feeling. It seems that the whole garden is bathed in a strange energy field, which makes people feel comfortable.
It's like... those massage tables at the Lanshen Hotel.
Could it be that this kid is so generous that he has tampered with the entire garden?
Sure enough, I will come here often in the future.
As Lu Zhenguo thought about it, he walked through a corridor and saw a couple of boys and girls eating breakfast in the pavilion in front of him. The steaming wontons could smell the fragrance from a distance.
Woo, it's been a long time since I ate wontons, and smelling them really makes my index finger wide open.
"Hey, second brother, do you want to eat something together?"
"Don't bother you two, I'll eat by myself." Lu Zhenguo is almost unimpeded in Lazy God Island. The Lazy God Department knows his relationship with Nan Ming, and even the underground office area is also open to him, but he doesn't like it. Most of the time, he abides by his own principles and does not easily cross the line.
At most... just go to the cafeteria on Lazy God Island, or a few beautiful underwater restaurants.
Rubbing his stomach, Lu Zhenguo turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, and then slowly turned his head: "Xiao...Ming?"
When will this brat come back!
"Why are you on Lazy God Island!" Lu Zhenguo widened his eyes.
"I've been on Lazy God Island." Nan Ming looked blank, "And I eat here every morning, and I said hello to you yesterday, you didn't hear it!"
Fuck! Lu Zhenguo suddenly wanted to swear.
The so-called retreat, the so-called vacation...
"Retreat also needs to eat, it's a combination of work and rest." Nan Ming said.
Combining work and rest, you are a big head, Lu Zhenguo can't wait to jump up and do a roundabout kick, kicking this brat into the air.
If he was ten years younger.
"Over there in the reception room..."
"I see you are very happy, I thought you didn't want me to show up." Nan Ming widened his innocent eyes, looking like I was a good boy.
Well...For the first time, the foreign affairs department found that he was so influential, almost replacing the status and appeal of the United States. They are all asking for him, so naturally lowering his figure is very helpful for his political appeal... It seems that he is not unhappy.
But it's not good to keep procrastinating like this. Since this brat has appeared, he has to be held back.
Sitting down in the pavilion unceremoniously, Zhang Feilin pursed his lips, and said to Dabai next to him, "Go and prepare another bowl of wontons."
Lu Zhenguo thanked Zhang Feilin, and ate slowly.
On weekdays, he is busy with work, so it is rare to have the opportunity to enjoy a good breakfast, and it is the breakfast of this guy Nan Ming. Lu Zhenguo tasted it in one bite. Although this wonton is still a rare wonton, the meat inside is definitely not ordinary meat , the entrance is smooth and tender, and the taste is extraordinary.
After Lu Zhenguo ate for a while, Lu Zhenguo found that Nan Ming was still sitting there, wondering, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you going to retreat?"
"We've burned up all the scientific research funding..." Nan Ming had a dumbfounding smile on his face, "Aren't I just worrying about funding?"
Are you kidding me, Lazy God is worrying about money?
Lu Zhenguo felt that this was the funniest thing in the world.
In the next second, Lu Zhenguo's expression changed. What exactly are Nanming and the others researching, and can they burn all the funds of the Lazy God Department?
...
The small reception room was packed as always. The staff of the foreign affairs department and a few volunteers from the lazy department went back and forth, and it was very lively.
At some point, the reception room suddenly fell silent, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the door, and then they were taken aback for a moment, and then cheered.
Nan Ming moved a stool and stood on it amidst the crowd watching.
At this moment, there was no media present, so Nan Ming rarely stood at the foreground.
"Sorry, I was delving into some technical issues recently, and I accidentally forgot the time, making you wait for a long time."
"it's okay no problem."
"Not long ago."
"Mr. Nan, you are busy..."
A group of head of state officials hurriedly responded, for fear that they would not be active in what they deserved.
"I don't know what technical issues you are studying, Mr. Nan, can you disclose it?"
"Uh..." Nan Ming was stunned on stage.
"Is it because the technology is too sensitive?" The person who asked this question just now was a little nervous.
Politicians in the West change rapidly, make wrong decisions, and affect development. Even the president may be kicked out. Obviously, it is such a fatal mistake to annoy the lazy gods and lose the opportunity to build a space elevator.
"No, I was thinking about how to explain clearly to you..." Nan Ming said distressedly.
Everyone was sweating.
Among these politicians, there are many geniuses with high education and high IQ, but they all feel that their IQ is deeply despised at the moment.
Seeing Nan Ming contemplating so seriously on the stage, everyone felt that they had suffered a ton of damage, and hurriedly said: "Don't be busy, don't need to explain, really don't need to explain..."
"Well, it's a difficult question anyway..." Nan Ming finally concluded.
"But in the hands of Mr. Nan, all problems will be solved." A tall white man said cautiously.
"Actually it's not..." Nan Ming said distressed again, "Everyone knows that the Lazy God Department is a company that doesn't make money, so... too many things were built in the past two days, and the experiments in the past two days are too crazy , have burned up all the scientific research funding..."
"Oh, so I actually know what everyone thinks, but now the lazy gods can no longer afford to build more space elevators, because the cost of space elevators is too high, at least tens of billions of dollars..."
Lazy gods won't make money?
The politicians here are eager to take out their waists, livers and kidneys and throw them on the ground, and then step on them to show their disdain.
I bother!
But problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
"What if we pay?"
Ten billion dollars is a big number for any company, but it is a small problem for any country that is qualified to compete for a space elevator.
It can be said that Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer.
"Why is this so embarrassing? Oh yes, we only accept RMB recently."
Nan Ming waved his hand: "That's it, I'll go back and get busy."
As he said that, he jumped up and down happily like a deer.
Everyone looked at him, as if they could feel the joy in his heart pouring out like water, and he sang as he walked: "La la la la la la, we can finally do the experiment, la la la la la la la, this time It will definitely be done next time..."
What a genuine person! Everyone wiped their tears.
Walking to the door, Mr. Nan suddenly turned around again: "By the way, in the plan of the Lazy God Department, only 10 more space elevators will be built in the near future. Let's discuss it carefully!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, are you planning to let us bid for the auction?
"Mr. Nan, how much experimental funds do you still need? Can you tell me how many?" Some countries with economic downturns and governments that are about to go bankrupt are crying. If they really want to compete, this is really a bottomless pit.
There were two father and son squatting at the door. At this moment, the father was dumbfounded and said, "Mr. Nan is really a person who can't make money."
"Why do I feel that this process is not as serious as our class meeting?" The son couldn't help complaining, and then he became excited again: "I will definitely become a person like Mr. Nan who can't make money in the future!"
The father took a look at his son, and was powerless to complain.
Whether it can make money to this extent is also a kind of technology!
Lu Zhenguo listened to the complaints of the father and son, and then looked at Nan Ming's happy back, and couldn't help but increase the amount with his hands.
Can you be more reserved, you brat?
The matter of asking for money... how can it be so straightforward?
But now is not the time to worry about this, Lu Zhenguo pulled up the father and son who were squatting aside: "Quickly contact the person in charge of your office..."
In what Nan Ming said just now, the most important thing is actually the sentence "Only accept RMB"!
Each space elevator is 10 billion US dollars, which is close to the basic cost of 70 billion yuan. In fact, most of these countries will not bid too aggressively. They are more likely to reach an understanding through off-stage transactions and political transactions. The final bid will not be too high.
Even so, ten space elevators, a total of 700 billion yuan poured into the country...
As long as you operate it well, I am afraid that the pockets of the people all over the country will be bulging!
On this day, the foreign exchange market was in turmoil, and the stock prices of domestic companies listed overseas soared. The only Lanshen Yafei listed in the Lanshen Department, the stock price was so high that it was outrageous...
(Many companies in the United States and Japan estimate that the cost of space elevators is around 10 billion U.S. dollars. This chapter uses this as a reference...)
