Chapter 148, Uncle Sam Is Under Great Pressure
"Xiao Li, give me 100 of these Hercules space planes first!"
Tang Yunshan's eyes were shining at this time. Although he is an official, he may also have a technical background. Just looking at the size of the "Hercules" aerospace plane, you can tell that its carrying capacity is definitely that of the "Magic Arrow" made by the country. "Many times that of an aerospace plane.
The key is to know in advance that Li Fu has already said that it only costs 1 billion Chinese dollars. The country's own aerospace plane costs 3 billion Chinese dollars. Anyone can calculate the account. Clearly.
This is definitely not as simple as just saving 2 billion. If it is considered as transportation capacity, its value will be doubled dozens of times. That’s why he said he wants 100 planes, which is only 100 billion Chinese dollars. The country can It is easy to take it out, and the development speed of space will be even faster in the future.
"Boss, our company is temporarily planning to produce a batch of this Hercules for our own use. We really can't sell 100 of them to you at the moment."
Li Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head. His company also wanted to enter space. Now that it finally has its own aerospace plane, it is naturally impossible to sell it first. It must first meet its own development needs.
"Xiao Li, I remember what you said back then, that you would sell the aerospace plane to the country for 1 billion Chinese dollars. Are you going to break your promise now?"
"Besides, as many aerospace planes as your company can use, 10 of them would be enough for you. If you have good things, you can't hide them."
Naturally, Tang Yunshan would not let go easily. Such a powerful aerospace plane would be eager to acquire a large amount of equipment immediately.
"Leader, there is no problem in selling 1 billion to the country, but we have to wait until we increase our production capacity. We have just started production now. We may not be able to build one in a month. Our company can still use it ourselves. Not enough.”
Li Fu pretended to be helpless and smiled bitterly.
"Okay, okay, if you need any help, you can ask me. Increase this production capacity as soon as possible and build one a month. Your output value is only more than 10 billion a year. This is not what you Xiao Li style of."
Naturally, Tang Yunshan didn't know how fast he could build one in about 10 days just from the beginning. In the future, once he became proficient, it would be very easy to build one in a few days, so he nodded and agreed, letting Li Fu Let’s first satisfy our own needs here.
Li Fu wants to enter the space field. This is something that many people know, and this is also something that the country is currently strongly promoting, so there is no reason to talk about Li Fu in this area.
"Leader, can our aerospace plane be sold to others?"
Li Fu tried to ask.
"Externally? Of course not. This aerospace plane is China's unique technology and it must not be allowed to flow abroad."
Tang Yunshan said seriously immediately.
"What I mean by external means selling to other people within China. Isn't the country now promoting private capital and strength to develop the space industry? Without aerospace aircraft, they will not be able to develop the space industry."
"If it's abroad, I don't need to tell you, the leader, to know that we will never let any aerospace plane go abroad."
Naturally, Li Fu quickly explained that the aerospace plane was sold to the country for only 1 billion Chinese dollars, which means it would make 10 times the profit. But if it were sold to private capital, Li Fu would have to sell it for several billion. That's called making money.
"Well, I will report this matter to my superiors when I get back. For the time being, I can only use it for myself or sell it to the country."
After hearing what Li Fu said, Tang Yunshan nodded with satisfaction. As long as he didn't want to sell it abroad, the aerospace plane was absolutely not allowed to live abroad.
Just as Li Fu and others were celebrating the complete success of the test flight of the "Hercules" aerospace plane, Uncle Sam on the other side of the ocean already knew the detailed information.
A huge conference room in the Department of Defense of Uncle Sam's Polygon Building was filled with top scientists in the field of aerospace and aviation, heads of space agencies, heads of the military, Uncle Sam's Secretary of State, etc. who had been summoned.
The huge monitor played the official picture taken by Uncle Sam with a surveillance satellite. A huge aerospace plane soared into the sky from Meijiang County, Jiangnan Province, China, and soon came directly into space. Its huge body It was as if a lingering dark cloud hung over the hearts of everyone present.
"Gentlemen and ladies, space planes are not new. China has already had them. But what I want to tell you today is that this time the space plane was built by a private company in China."
"China's Lockheed Martin, Fuyun Group, a company founded by the world-renowned scientist Li Fu."
James's eyes were blood red at this time. Since China has continued to make progress in the space field, he has been under increasing pressure. The global space race has made Uncle Sam even more strenuous. China has established a permanent base on the moon, but Uncle Sam has yet to return to the moon.
"A private company in China has been able to build such a huge aerospace aircraft. We have lagged behind others in the space field. The Chinese have already started mining on the moon, and we are all on the earth now."
"In the space race, we are lagging behind too much. The most important reason is that we don't have our own space plane. You are all experts in the field of aerospace. Can you tell me when we can build our own space plane?"
No one answered James' words at the scene. Uncle Sam also concentrated a lot of energy on the research of space planes and plasma power. Among them, the core plasma power has never been able to break through. No materials that can support 5000 degrees high temperature can be found. The plasma engine developed will melt into molten iron within a few minutes.
Moreover, Uncle Sam has not yet studied magnetic field batteries. Even if a plasma engine is developed, if there is no magnetic field battery, the space plane cannot fly because there is not enough electricity.
"In October, we will carry out the plan to return to the moon, and we will also establish a permanent manned base on the moon. If we still rely on the current traditional rocket propulsion technology, our expenses will increase exponentially, and we will eventually be dragged down."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please, no matter what method we use, we must develop our own aerospace plane at all costs."
James seemed very helpless. He didn't know how many ace agents he had sent to China to steal related technologies, but almost all of them never returned. The last time Li Fu was kidnapped when he participated in the Nobel Prize, it was also planned by James, but it failed in the end.
As for using military means to threaten China, China is not an ordinary country. Uncle Sam has weapons and equipment, and now there is an aerospace plane, which is even more powerful. It is really not afraid of anyone.
As for economic sanctions, China is the world's second largest economy, and in 2019, due to the rapid development of the virtual economy, China's economy has also achieved rapid growth. It will surpass Uncle Sam in a few years. It is impossible to sanction China.
As for the resolutions against China in the United Nations, China is also one of the five permanent members and has a veto power. There is no way to pass any resolutions. What's more, even if it is passed, what can it do? The big gangsters have ignored the resolutions of the United Nations more than once or twice.
Uncle Sam is also very helpless in the face of China's impenetrable and impenetrable. After all, China is not a small country like Iraq, which can fight whenever it wants, and it is not North Korea that can impose economic sanctions whenever it wants. It can only helplessly concentrate its own strength and continue to compete fiercely with China in the field of space.
But China has aerospace planes, which are very fast, convenient and cheap to travel to and from space. The advantages are too obvious. This is like racing a car with a cyclist. Uncle Sam is under too much pressure, from top to bottom.
As for Uncle Sam's president, his domestic public support rate has been declining. With huge amounts of money invested in the space field, he has not only failed to surpass China, but the gap with China has become increasingly larger. As for Uncle Sam's middle-level managers, with the rapid decline of the electronics industry and the information industry, the powerful impact of virtual machines and the virtual world has increased every day. Many of Uncle Sam's related industries have fallen into bankruptcy, the number of unemployed people has continued to rise, and internal conflicts have begun to intensify. He can only continue to transfer his domestic pain by printing a large amount of money.
This has further contributed to the continuous decline of the status of the US dollar as a global currency. No one is a fool. The US dollar in hand is depreciating every day. Naturally, everyone will try to spend it or exchange it for more valuable Chinese currency, euros, yen, etc. It can be said that the status of the US dollar as a global currency is already shaky and may collapse at any time.
This time, Fuyun Group, a private enterprise, was able to research the aerospace plane, which further stimulated Uncle Sam, because it means that China is about to surpass itself in all aspects. China's proposal to regard the space industry as the core and pillar of the economy in the future is definitely not bragging.
Private individuals can manufacture aerospace planes. Soon, the entire Chinese space sector will usher in explosive development. The resources and space in space will be occupied by China first. Let alone the moon, it may belong to China at that time.
In the future, when Uncle Sam wants to develop the space industry, he will be restricted in every way and have to look at China's face, which is absolutely unacceptable.
