Chapter 738: Regularization

After John and other important officials left the Pentagon, Robert and several technical experts stayed.

The "Mars civilization heritage theory" is of course an uncertain conjecture. David actually just wanted to use it as an example. There is no definite evidence like the M signal.

But what the M Office can be sure of is that the aerospace technology of Xinyuan, or the Chinese, is abnormal.

Maybe the Chinese really have geniuses, maybe they do have extraordinary luck, but after the 1950s, everyone who is familiar with cybernetics and has experience in the development of management technology will find the problem:

Whether it is fast or slow, the development of technology is a line, which can be a gentle straight line or a suddenly rising parabola, but it must be continuous and will not be blank for a period of time.

Even if it is a confidential plan, as long as you follow the thread bit by bit, you can always sort out the ins and outs. Even if there are some doubts, it is harmless, and the conclusion can be locked in a certain range.

But XAP is not normal. Its technical style has not been inherited. Its development status does not conform to objective laws and runs counter to the original appearance of technology.

So whether it is an alien civilization, or Martians, Venusians, or a civilization that existed on Earth before humans, the M Office can be sure that the source of technology is not on Earth.

The old industrial country Daiying, the rising star Hans, the remarkable country of hair, and the alliance with superb system integration capabilities, except for Amei, only these countries may have the predecessors of advanced technology, but they have all been ruled out one by one.

Even if the remaining answer is impossible, it can only be the truth.

Combined with the Chinese people's understanding of the landing site on Mars, David proposed the hypothesis of "Lost Civilization on Mars", at least it must be related to Mars.

Robert: "Our two newly launched satellites will arrive at the same time as them in about a month. At that time, we will adjust the orbit and closely monitor the suspicious areas in Antarctica."

"Mars is not the first priority at present."

Claire shook her head and narrowed her eyes and said:

"We have no ability to interfere with Mars for the time being. I believe that the Chinese can't do much. Our attention should still be on the Earth and the Moon."

"You mean..."

Robert instantly realized that the situation of alien civilizations has been confusing and there is no breakthrough, but now through the Enterprise, the problem of the Chinese can be basically determined.

Claire: "Where do these unknown technologies come from? They have never been to Mars, so they can only be around the Earth, and from this perspective, United Mining has other purposes on the Moon.

The mine they discovered does have rich rare earth resources, but this was only confirmed after the recent nuclear explosion. Before that, they were willing to spend a huge price and bet on countless investments, which may also become one of the doubts."

After changing their thinking, the M Office raised a series of questions about Xinyuan's barbaric development in the past, and they could not answer them at all.

If it weren't for their previous impressions, they would have even begun to doubt whether alien civilizations had begun to interfere with the Earth.

After clarifying Claire's opinion and David and other analytical experts did not express any objections, Robert was completely relieved.

With the addition of a handful of top elites and strong dialogue capabilities at the top level, the M Office has been able to have a substantial impact on the Federation.

According to their decision, NACA will seize the opportunity to open up trade with the Chinese and try to deepen cooperation to find out information, especially on the moon, and it would be best to cooperate deeply with United Mining to the point of binding relationship.

For this goal, the president has begun to use the "transition period" low taxes and "legal smuggling" to induce congressmen to pass one concession after another.

However, apart from the military, Amy's high-tech enterprises are not actually very resistant.

For example, Pfizer, which transferred the patent, only gave a few years of authorization, and the authorized drugs can only be reimbursed in designated hospitals on the mainland, and the authorization fee is not cheap!

In the past, imports sold to the mainland would be charged tariffs, and because the high-priced market is limited, expanding the market is of course beneficial and harmless, and of course the most important thing is to break through the blockade of the Food and Drug Administration.

From automobiles, medicines, to consumer electronics, before domestic products developed, there were also very strict protection policies in China. For example, until now, foreign brands entering the mainland must form joint ventures, and they are not allowed to set up factories independently. They even limit the number of joint venture partners and charge more than 100% tariffs on imported cars.

This policy will not be broken until after 2020 when new domestic forces rise in the original world line. Foreign brands are allowed to set up factories independently, and the tax rate on imported cars has also dropped a lot.

The same is true for medicine, just like the honeymoon period in the 1980s. Amei's big companies are not congressmen and generals. As long as it is profitable, what can't be sold?

Now giving them a little patent or their scarce precision processing resources is just a stepping stone, which is not worth mentioning in general.

The reason why Daiying launched the duck film war is that "as long as the hem of every Chinese person is one inch longer, it is enough for Daiying's textile factories to work non-stop until they explode."

A market with a population of 1.4 billion and highly industrialized, no company can refuse.

NACA is actually similar. Before Musk left Xinyuan, Lin Ju also painted a huge pie for a spaceport and promised that as long as trade between the two countries is open, SpecaX will not be ruled out as a contractor.

Since SpecaX can do it, of course other companies can too, and NACA also has hope. Think about a tens of thousands of tons of space port. Even if it takes 10% of the share, it can feed a strong aerospace company. NACA is of course willing to participate.

At least we can learn from the construction experience and lessons of the Chinese people, which is an intangible and precious wealth.

When he thought of this, Robert felt the temperature of the air rise a little.

"Okay, has the corporate delegation to China been confirmed? NACA needs to know the content of the plan, and we will also organize a team."

Claire: "There will be many times. According to the practice of international negotiations, we will first organize rounds of business representatives to look for cooperation, and then official forces will intervene. It takes about three months from formal contact to implementation.

I suggest NACA choose to go there in mid-to-late October, or they may come over, just in the name of exchanging Mars exploration data, to see how our colleagues are doing. "

…

"Xiao Lin, you are being conservative!"

As soon as Lin Ju walked into the building of the Aviation Development Commission, he heard Zhong Cheng's teasing voice. He couldn't help but turn around and said curiously:

"Conservative? What conservative?"

"For the space port plan, we mobilized the companies and asked them to put forward their own suggestions for modifications. Good guy, each one was more fanciful than the other, but we were too conservative."

Zhong Cheng also just got the document from the agency, which was an improvement plan submitted by a certain company.

He pulled out the imaginary diagram and brief parameter introduction inside. Lin Ju immediately took it and started reading it. After a few dozen seconds, he showed a surprised expression:

"An all-steel structure spaceport? Oh, Taiyang's ambition is too obvious."

Zhong Cheng: "Using the steel frame as the main body directly, based on the third plan, the main body of the entire space steel is a spoke-shaped giant tube composed of high-strength steel, with all cabin sections and equipment hung on it, and the overall strength can be It can reach very high and will not fall apart even if the gravity is multiple times."

"The mass is too terrifying! Based on our maximum kilometer-level size assumption, the steel frame alone would require hundreds of thousands of tons, no, hundreds of thousands of tons are not enough!

With the limited production capacity of the Moon Project, it would probably take ten years to get enough steel. "

Lin Ju directly ignored this exaggerated proposal, and then looked at other accompanying plans. This time it was much more normal, mainly for a smaller scope.

For example, living modules, energy power supply systems, cooling systems, etc. Since the modular ideas and standard buses have been established from the beginning, it will not be difficult for people to start.

The adaptation speed of non-space companies is actually not slow, and the standards of certain earth environments are not necessarily lower than those of space. This result makes Lin Ju very satisfied.

Zhong Cheng: "To be serious... the participation of so many companies has made us much clearer about the difficulty of building a space port. At present, most space ports agree with the second option. The industrial zone and scientific research zone have zero gravity, and the residential area has 0.5 G or more gravity.

The overall mass without load is about 45,000 tons, and the maximum operating mass is no more than 70,000 tons. "

Lin Ju: "0.5G gravity, what's the radius?"

Zhong Cheng: “Around 200 meters, the speed drops from 2 rpm of the Forward to 1.5 rpm, which is much friendlier to ordinary people.

The structure of the living area should be similar to that of the Advance. The quality should be controlled below 20,000 tons. It should be able to accommodate at least 600 people at the same time. It should be separated from the industrial/scientific research area and the spaceport should operate in a combined manner. "

This actually separates production and life, which poses minimal risks to personnel. It can be easily transferred in case of an accident and can also serve as a verification function.

0.5G gravity is quite sufficient. As long as the time is no more than one or two years, healthy natural people do not need to exercise and will not become fragile due to bone calcium loss.

Based on the calculation that the living group works in the weightless zone for 8 hours, as long as the remaining time returns to the living zone, there is no need to worry about the health problems caused by gravity.

The mass of 25,000 tons of industrial modules is not that much on earth, but considering some of the special advantages of space and the fact that these equipment must be carefully selected and highly automated, there may be surprises.

"Has it been named yet?"

The spaceport plan is a completely official project, so the naming will naturally not be as arbitrary as Xinyuan's. Even Lin Ju cannot be sure.

Zhong Cheng: "Come on, the current plan is to give a few names to choose from, and you have to vote."

"Is there a 'Heaven'?"

"...This really doesn't exist."

Lin Ju was immediately disappointed. Tianting was so good. He heard that it was in the same line as Tiangong, or Nantianmen was also very good.

"Don't worry about these details. We have a heavy task now, and you have to shoulder the burden."

Zhong Cheng patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him earnestly:

"It will take a lot of time to prepare for the new organization. Now everything is under the control of the Aerospace Development Commission. You, the deputy chief, have to play your role. The Space Force and other private aerospace affairs will be left to you in the future."

Lin Ju took a step back and suddenly realized that being called here was different this time.

Zhong Cheng continues:

"I've vacated the space next to your office. The people who used to handle this are now your secretaries. You guys also have a lot of talents in Xinyuan, so they can all be transferred here."

"Ju Zhong, this isn't appropriate."

"Isn't it suitable? How long has it been since then? It's still not suitable. Everyone said that your President Ye and President Xie are very capable. Their technical and management abilities are too much for a president. If they weren't also busy, I would have thought Borrow it and use it.”

After last month, the higher-ups immediately paid more attention to Xinyuan, and Ye Changsi and Xie Lefu gradually became prominent as they got to know each other better.

Just kidding, one was a tough guy who once led the Alliance Space, and the other was also well-versed in worldly affairs, and the priority of coordination ability even exceeded technical ability.

Xinyuan has not had any internal troubles until now, and has been operating efficiently, and they have definitely made an indelible contribution.

Lin Ju didn't expect that he would be targeted. Does this count as a regular job?

It doesn't seem to be, but it's not much different. Besides, Xinyuan used to play a similar role, and now it's just formalized.

…

"What, it's open?"

Long Jiacheng almost spit out a mouthful of tea, choking himself and coughing continuously. It took him a long time to recover, and he looked at the person in disbelief.

This is a distant relative of his, who has been engaged in import and export trade for many years. He is also a well-known agent with quite a lot of channels and information.

"Uncle Hai, is the rumor true?"

Although Long Hai was also surprised before, he now responded calmly:

"What rumor? What CBS and ABC mainstream media reported is not a rumor. Amei is serious and the country is serious.

I also have the latest news. The Amei Senate has passed the request of the National Medical to purchase more than ten kinds of anti-cancer drug patents. Pfizer is already negotiating with them on specific plans and quotations.

Also, the Amei business community has organized the first batch of visiting groups to enter the country to look for business opportunities. We will do something similar soon."

Speaking of this, Long Hai sighed for a moment, and then continued to talk about what he knew:

"In the future, the mainland will also be filled with imported goods. It is said that most of the bilateral tariffs will be reduced to the same level as the export tariffs. We, the agents, are outdated!"

The import and export business that Long Hai does is not complicated. Under the existing tariff barriers and some sanctions, many commodities cannot be directly listed for export. Agents like him need to create shell companies and turn them into "Annan goods", "Luzon goods" and "Indian goods".

There are also some foreign brands that need domestic OEMs, and generally like to keep secrets. He can also operate.

We also engage in import business, such as importing cars, milk powder, meat, etc., which are all profitable.

In addition, we also sell cars or electronic products to third world countries where there are no dealers, and the development momentum is also good now.

If the two largest economies in the world reduce tariffs and start free trade, the profit margins of agents like them will be greatly reduced, and it will be much more inconvenient for manufacturers to communicate with each other?
