Technology: breaking the hegemony that monopolizes the world

Gu Qing didn’t know how much “harm” his arrangement had caused to the official Indu Aerospace.

“Jiuzhou Xinghai Company said that their project work pressure was high and they could not always predict the spacecraft load space for us. Starting from this month, the cost of bringing back the resources will increase by 5 million Xia Yuan every month. If we agree to the previous resource delivery, it means an increase of 5% of mineral resources every month.

They did not adopt the free bring back plan we provided.”

When the official staff of Indu Aerospace reported this information to the senior management, none of the senior management of Indu Aerospace was not surprised.

Of course, they understood the subtext of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, which was urging them to make a choice quickly, either give up or pay up quickly.

But...

"Damn it! What does Jiuzhou Xinghai think of us, Indu Aerospace? Not only is it unwilling to bring back our 'Chandrayaan-3', but it also wants us to pay so much?"

"I suggest restricting Jiuzhou Xinghai's cooperation projects in our local market, so that this company knows that it is their honor to serve us! Daxia's rice company has to contribute assets to us, not to mention a branch of Jiuzhou Technology!"

"This is a provocation to us! If we agree to Jiuzhou Xinghai's request, there will definitely be more things that will lower our bottom line in the future that we need to face, absolutely not We can open this loophole! And our budget cannot support such a high cost. "

"We still have 'Chandrayaan-4' and 'Chandrayaan-5'. With this money, we can launch more lunar probes! We can even land on the moon before NASA lands on the moon again!"

"You want us to pay? Jiuzhou Xinghai Company is currently the world's top space exploration company on Blue Star. Why should we, the laggards, pay?"

After a long discussion, considering the lack of money, the official senior management of Indu Aerospace chose to give up bringing back "Chandrayaan-3" at the final vote.

Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's project docking manager Liu Hai was not surprised after learning about this situation.

As early as the initial discovery of the wreckage of "Chandrayaan-3", Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's robot had sent the scanning and analysis data to Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's Blue Star server, and a group of engineers conducted inspections and reviews.

The final result disappointed many people. Indo Aerospace did not master the so-called independent lunar probe manufacturing technology. Many parts of Chandrayaan-3 were improved products of commercial products manufactured by Daxia Enterprises...

This kind of thing, let alone millions of Xia Yuan, leaving aside the cost of rockets and other equipment, the manufacturing cost of just the core structural parts of the probe may be only one million Xia Yuan.

Even if Jiuzhou Xinghai Company asked Jiuzhou Factory to manufacture the product, the cost would be less than 700,000 Xia Yuan.

In addition to Indo Aerospace officials, Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, in accordance with Gu Qing's instructions, successively sent the news of lunar probes discovered by the company in other countries and regions to the corresponding units, so that these aerospace agencies also faced the choice that only Indo Aerospace could do.

Of course, in the payment specifications, there is also a "differentiation" as always.

Space agencies that have good cooperative relations with Jiuzhou Technology or Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, or neutral space agencies that have never had non-positive interactions with Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, not only do not have to delay the cost, but the cost of bringing back the wreckage of their equipment is only one million Xia Yuan.

And those space agencies that have had many negative contacts with Jiuzhou Technology or Jiuzhou Xinghai Company enjoy the same treatment as the official Indo Aerospace, and have to pay extra.

All space agencies that received letters from Jiuzhou Xinghai Company quickly made a decision.

After all, although the lunar probe lost contact on the moon, the storage device inside the lunar probe is likely to retain extremely important data, so many space agencies are willing to pay.

One million Xia Yuan is a huge sum of money for an individual.

But for space agencies in major countries and regions, it is actually not much money.

And some of the space agencies that were set high prices chose to hold their noses and think about paying money to get back the lunar probe; while others were angry and refused Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's spacecraft bringing back service.

As a result, a clear-cut camp was quickly divided in the global aerospace field of Blue Star, which was almost a replica of the scale of Jiuzhou Technology's operations in the global market.

Just when all the aerospace agencies on Blue Star thought that the matter had come to an end, Jiuzhou Xinghai Company officially announced the launch of the lunar base construction plan on an ordinary day without any special holidays.

And within Jiuzhou Technology, the Titanium Star Department, the Biomedicine Department, and other departments jointly announced the official launch of the "Pioneer Project".

All the rules proposed by Gu Qing at the beginning were not reduced, and some rules even added restrictions.

For example, all Jiuzhou registered engineers who want to sign up for the Pioneer Project must not only obtain written consent and video consent from all living direct relatives, as well as encouragement and support from two good friends, but now also need to seek permission from more than half of the colleagues in the project team, and must be in good health and have not undergone bionic mechanical prosthesis surgery before they can be allowed to apply for work.

After all, not everyone can shoulder the banner. After some core members of the project team leave, even if the major project teams within Jiuzhou Technology are elites, there is still a gap between elites and geniuses.

The rules proposed by Gu Qing are to select top scientists with physiques comparable to those of special forces and powerful minds. On this basis, the optimized rules will ensure that the members of the "Forerunner Project" have extremely excellent organizational skills and affinity.

After the previous meeting, the executives of Jiuzhou Technology were strictly guarding against letting the news leak out, and at the same time they were conducting subtle lobbying work for the core engineers of their own department's projects.

This includes but is not limited to buying houses, cars, and introducing partners to these core elite engineers. Some managers even arranged travel and free university admissions for the parents of project team members.

The main focus is on being as close as a family, and the idea is to allow this group of elite engineers to stand firm and not submit applications when the "Pioneer Project" is made public.

However, even though these managers paid so much attention to it, after the announcement of the "Pioneer Project", there was no formal employee of Jiuzhou Technology who was not excited.

In the employee community of Jiuzhou Technology, countless posts asking about the "Pioneer Project" were refreshed in just a few minutes, almost occupying the entire chat exchange page.

Of course, these posts are posted by ordinary employees and engineers who have not yet released core projects. For those senior engineers who were already working on the core project, after they learned the news, they were like eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.

Some people directly approached the management and inquired about the specific situation of this project. After all, multiple core departments announced it together. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the matter is of great importance and is definitely not a small matter.

But what they faced was: "What can I say? What I know is the same as what you know. Even if you comply with these rules and are really willing to compete for this project, our department will not pass." Please stop me. After all, we are all family.

From now on, when you work and live at the lunar base, we will also take care of your home affairs. "

In the face of the company's big projects, the management never thought of standing up and opposing them clearly.

Because everyone knows clearly that if they stand up to oppose the "Pioneer Project", they are opposing the position they sit in...

Some engineers and scientists are looking for intelligent program AIs such as [獬豸], [Tiangong], and [Sinan]. Because their identities and permissions are high enough, they also clearly know that within Jiuzhou Technology, high-level Permission identities can often be asked in the intelligent program AI to obtain information that ordinary managers cannot know.

This consultation really allowed them to understand some project details.

For example, the "Pioneer Project" not only requires project participants to live and work on the lunar base, but also requires project participants to undergo a "physical examination" on the moon. It also requires participants to agree to live on the lunar base within the specified time. Physical exercise within the time... These may be important or simple situations.

As for the importance attached to the "Pioneer Project", these intelligent program AIs have not hidden it.

[The "Pioneer Project" refers to a scientific research project that selects scientists, engineers and other high-quality people who are qualified to select astronauts, and uses certain standards and procedures to enable them to live and work stably on the lunar base.

This project was proposed by the company founder Gu Qing and passed @! #￥...Waiting for think tank experts and project field leaders to discuss together...]

Although it is not stated how many resources will be invested in the project, when all the elite engineers of Jiuzhou Technology see the proposer and research team of this project, no one will ignore its authoritative nature and influence.

As for what if the project fails halfway?

That's even more impossible.

Soon these engineers and scientists within Jiuzhou Technology began a vigorous canvassing campaign.

After all, if more than half of the colleagues in the project are to vote in favor, then naturally they have to compete with other people in the group who want to apply.

"Old Liu, you are not young anymore. There are seniors and juniors in your family. For this 'Pioneer Project', our team will let me apply. I have been single for almost 30 years, and my parents have retirement income. , and there are no children to raise down here..."

"Xiao Zhao, what do you mean by this? Who of us doesn't know that if we go to the moon base, we will definitely be exposed to space radiation? You don't have children yet, and it is when your body is at its healthiest. Your top priority is to quickly find a person with good physical and mental health. Excellent healthy women get married and reproduce, so that my elder brother and sister-in-law can have grandchildren as soon as possible!”

"Old Liutou, I also participated in the Future Warrior project. Although I did not pass the cross-country training assessment, my scores in other projects are not low. If you want to compare with me, how can I stay on the moon base for a few more days with my body?" sky!"

"Humph, it's not like the company hasn't prepared human body optimization fluid. Maybe after I come back from the moon, my health will be better than that of you young people."

It is true that the lunar base and the "Forerunner Project" are both major projects in the field of aerospace science that are not low in risk.

But that also depends on who is implementing the project!

With their own CEO taking the lead, no one thought that these two projects would fail!

And now everyone understands a situation, that is, the company's development in other industries is no longer able to overturn the table as soon as it enters and become the only technology supplier.

Daxia officials will not sit idly by, and other companies in the industry cannot watch this happen. Now the company is in a very sensitive position, and if it wants to get relief, it must look upward and develop into the universe.

In addition, there is another extremely important reason, that is, many engineers and scientists know that the current world is not safe, and they will not be surprised if a hot war breaks out one day.

If the construction of the lunar base can be accelerated so that their relatives can live in the lunar city, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for it.

When everyone's interests are pointed in the same direction, the power that bursts out can turn the world upside down or recreate the world.

Ten hours after the announcement was released, the number of applicants for the "Pioneer Project" within Jiuzhou Technology exceeded 100,000!

This is not a mere 100,000 people, but a fierce person who has passed the Jiuzhou registered engineer examination, is in good health, and has convinced half of the members of the project team, as well as his relatives and friends.

When Gu Qing learned about this exaggerated figure, he couldn't help but be surprised and sighed: "One hundred thousand people, when the Monkey King faced only one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals..."

Of course, in addition to feeling emotional, he also immediately told [Xuanwu] to carefully select the best among the best, and strive to select enough "participants" among these 100,000 people.

The initial Forerunner project does not require long-term detention at the lunar base. In the plan designed by Gu Qing, the time for the Forerunners to live on the lunar base is gradually increased from "two months" to "one year", "two years", and "three years" Until five or ten years.

In addition to the income from their own jobs every month, there is also a project subsidy from the "Pioneer Project", which will definitely prevent participants from depriving themselves of the rewards they deserve for their time and energy.

While Gu Qing was making relevant work arrangements, the news that the lunar base project was officially launched also made the outside world start to get excited.

First of all, the senior management of Daxia Aerospace Group immediately contacted Jiuzhou Xinghai Company and Jiuzhou Technology Company through exclusive communication channels to learn about the inside information of the project.

Even at the beginning of the communication, many officials from Daxia officials tried to understand the real situation through their own channels.
