Vol 2 Chapter 1136: ‘Only’ six billion dollars in construction costs!

You must know that as the president of the company, the one-time use of funds that she can decide alone is only 1 billion US dollars. She is cautious in using this amount of funds, not to mention the anti-matter special collision that Liu Helong said. The aircraft construction plan may require tens of billions of dollars in funds.
Therefore, even if the company does not have the disadvantages of the large-scale enterprise diseases and the complicated and long-term funding approval process, the scientific research funding investment for such large projects still has to be able to convince everyone.
Seeing that everyone in the conference room was paying attention to himself, Liu Helong was not stage fright at all. Since he dared to speak out about this plan, he must have made relevant preparations long ago.
"I can understand the boss and the CEO’s concerns, but I took this opportunity to come up with this plan today, not just thinking it out, but after a rigorous demonstration by our laboratory expert team, and everyone will also consider all aspects. This plan was decided after considering all the problems!
First of all, let’s talk about the boss’s questions about our plan. Regarding antimatter research, our Hadron Collider Laboratory has never stopped. Now our laboratory’s antimatter research has surpassed all laboratories in the world. The level of research.
Of course, this is not really worth bragging about, because even so, the research on antimatter in our laboratory is still at a very, very preliminary stage. This cannot be denied!
So the last time the boss, you went to ask us to design the future Super Hadron Collider and Antimatter Collider, everyone in our laboratory was also very surprised.
It’s not that we don’t want to work hard, but we are still limited by experimental conditions. Even if we use the maximum energy level of our hadron collider for particle collisions, the number of antimatter particles we can collect each time is only Only a few thousand!
Everyone is the same as a baby for such a bit of antimatter particles, because the number of antimatter particles that may be used for a random antimatter experiment requires our hadron collider to work at full capacity several times. Obviously, there is no way to proceed in this state. More experimental.
After all, our Hadron Collider is also responsible for scientific research on dark matter, dark energy, supersymmetric particles, new unknown particle exploration, etc. It is impossible to always use it to make antimatter for our research.
Regarding the importance and future prospects of antimatter research, I don’t want to say that everyone knows it. After all, research in this area is not discussed at company meetings once or twice.
Therefore, after completing the design project requested by the boss, our laboratory will think of redesigning a collider dedicated to antimatter collection and research, which can be used to conduct a larger scale and longer duration of antimatter research. Work, because only in this state of research can we make more discoveries and explore more future applications of antimatter! "
Lei Tiantang understood his answer. He himself wanted to increase research in this area, let alone Liu Helong and other scientists who specialize in this area.
So he didn't feel surprised that Liu Helong and the others wanted to build such a special antimatter collider for himself after completing the design project he requested.
Seeing that his boss had passed this barrier, Liu Helong turned his gaze to Jiang Yuting and said: "Let's talk about the CEO's worries about construction funds!
Although the circumference and size of the antimatter special collider we designed is more than half of what we use now, the cost is really not as much as the one we use now!
There is not much experience we can learn from when constructing the hadron collider we are currently using. Although we have cooperated with the state on this project, because the design of the state is too far from our requirements, so The whole project can almost be said to have started from scratch.
In this case, we have invested a lot of money in the research and development of related technologies, and because we have no experience in the construction process, it is inevitable that funds will be wasted in this process, plus Some other reasons have caused the construction cost to remain high.
However, our company's situation is different now. After so long of study and research in our laboratory, our understanding of the collider is no longer the same hobbled state as before.
Coupled with the advancement of our artificial intelligence technology, the role of origin in the design process has been further highlighted, so we have not encountered the previous difficulties in design.
The relevant technologies used on this antimatter special collider are also mature technologies that the company has mastered. The lack of research and development funds has reduced the construction cost of the entire design by nearly one third.
In addition, whether it is the super shield machine with a diameter of 25 meters manufactured by our company’s holding company, or the construction equipment and equipment such as intelligent engineering machinery and equipment designed and manufactured by our company in recent years, they can reduce our construction costs again. Decrease a lot.
So after our calculations, even if we build a collider with a size larger than what we are currently using, our total construction cost will not exceed 5 billion US dollars. Even if we add other related supporting facilities, this cost The total amount will not exceed 6 billion US dollars. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The investment of less than RMB 40 billion is more than half cheaper than the hadron collider we are currently using, so I think the issue of construction funding is still acceptable. After all, this is also an experimental project related to the company's future! "
As soon as Liu Helong's construction funds came out, everyone including Lei Tiantang and other company executives became speechless. If the construction funds of nearly 40 billion yuan were not too much, then how much money would be considered too much!
Jiang Yuting shook her head and said: "Although I admit that what you said is very reasonable, and the construction cost is indeed much lower than that of the collider we are using now, but even the figure of 6 billion US dollars is still very large, OK? !
In the next two years, the company will complete the construction of at least 50 spacecraft, as well as the construction of two earth-orbiting spaceports, as well as the expansion of the lunar and Mars bases.
During this period, there are also manned exploration projects for the entire solar system. Which of these projects does not require a lot of money? Do you think it is appropriate to carry out such a large-scale experimental equipment construction plan at this time? "
