Chapter 783

According to Lu Yanchi's estimate, if we really build a space and ocean-going system from scratch, the amount of money spent will start at least one trillion U.S. dollars, and the time spent will be at least one hundred years.

Of course, times have changed now. The advent of the extraordinary era has brought about a brand new technology tree; and now he has ready-made information from the Sky City as a reference; the scientific research elites around him who are conducting collaborative research have all opened up the spiritual system. Super powers, solving originally unsolvable problems is as simple as eating and drinking.

With such good conditions, Lu Yanchi was able to confidently reduce the cost to tens of billions of dollars.

From one trillion U.S. dollars to ten billion U.S. dollars, Lu Yanchi felt that he was already very awesome and very frugal!

However, it seems... this number seems... still a little exaggerated...

"Okay, okay," looking at the two friends who were obviously dumbfounded, Lu Yanchi reluctantly began to compromise, "If even you think it's a bit exaggerated, then maybe there's something wrong with me. Well, I'm not It is said that the budget must reach such an exaggerated level, but in fact there is still room for reduction.”

"Huh?" Nie Zhibo raised his eyebrows in interest.

"I mean, if we want to complete the integration of interstellar aviation and space technology in a short time, it will cost so much money." Lu Yanchi said with obvious reluctance, "But if our requirements are lower, for example If we only require space technology to be able to complete transmission within the solar system, and do not require transmission in units of light years, then the budget cost will suddenly drop."

“Or,” he continued, “if we extend the research time requirement further, for example, if the plan originally planned to be completed at the end of October is allowed to be postponed to the end of the year or even the middle of next year, then the budget can also be reduced by a large amount. .”

"However, long-range interstellar navigation capabilities are necessary, and it is indeed required to master them as early as possible." Shang Yinhe frowned and said, "Only an earth civilization with long-range interstellar navigation capabilities can have enough space as strategic depth. Only then can we find the slightest hope of victory in the possible future cosmic war."

"Yes," Nie Zhibo's expression calmed down, "If our footprints are forced to be limited to the solar system, then we will have no hope of victory. Trading money for technology and time is indeed is worth it."

"Have you mentioned this statement to the above?" Shang Yinhe asked.

"Not yet, well... I also think this budget figure is too exaggerated," Lu Yanchi said coyly, "At least until sufficient results have been achieved, I don't dare to shamelessly suggest it to the superiors."

(Nie Zhibo & Shang Yinhe: You also know that this budget figure is exaggerated!)

"Now that the first experiment of real-person space teleportation has been successful, I have some confidence," Lu Yanchi smiled sheepishly, "I would like to ask for your opinions first, and then consider making a formal proposal to the superiors. .”

"This budget figure cannot be financed by our country alone. No matter how promising the project is, it will be difficult." Nie Zhibo frowned. As a boss of the Ministry of Intelligence, he has enough information about China's economy. , "The Third World War caused a huge blow to the entire earth's economy, and our country is no exception. Maybe before the white fog changes, our country can still have enough energy to spend so much money to build a Such a big project. But now... one word, difficult."

"Not to mention," Shang Yinhe added, "this project of yours requires more than just money. Our country simply cannot afford a large number of high-precision projects in the short term. This is not a matter of money, it is a matter of talent. and instrument issues.”

"...I did seem to have thought a bit too simply before," Lu Yanchi scratched his head. He was a little dumbfounded, "What should I do?"

It is indeed a bit difficult for a person who is immersed in the laboratory and has always relied on the full support of the state to prepare for experiments to consider these things.

"What else can we do? Gather the power of the whole world!" Having said this, Nie Zhibo relaxed, and even had a thoughtful smile on his face, "Now I understand why Jiuqu wanted to We have been given the task of 'establishing a global joint organization'."

"'This organization after its establishment must at least be able to play a role in coordinating global resources and dealing with extraterrestrial civilizations on behalf of the entire earth.'" Nie Zhibo couldn't help but sigh as he chewed on the words of his third mission. , "Now that I think about it, this mission is really meaningful..."

Shang Yinhe, who was next to him, glanced at him and decided not to say anything about it.

He has long been used to this kind of thing. Anyway, no matter what Jiuqu does, it will inexplicably turn out to be ironclad evidence that "Jiuqu's actions must have deep meaning."

Some of them may be guided by the game world and do contain profound meanings; but others...

Hahahahaha, "The eyes of the fish that jumped out of the pot emitted a weird light. What does this weird light mean?" These are all basic operations for reading comprehension. Damn it, no 6, thank you.
