The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

Chapter 472

Half an hour later, Master Ouyang left Hu Lai's office.

This time, Hu Lai did not immediately make a decision on "drawing an electronic map of the moon" and "mobile charging stations".

For Mr. Ouyang, he proposed a series of future "lunar development plans" at the scientific and technological level, with the goal of developing the moon.

But for Hu Lai, what he needs to consider is not only whether it can be realized at the technical level, but also at the commercial level.

In particular, "drawing electronic maps of the moon" and "mobile charging vehicles" are easy to talk about, but to build "small energy storage power stations" on the moon requires serious consideration.

As we all know, since the Phoenix Group developed the "all-solid-state lithium battery", because of its good charge and discharge performance and high energy density, and can be used normally in an environment of minus 140 degrees to 110 degrees, it has been applied soon after it was launched. aerospace field.

Not only in the field of aerospace, all-solid lithium batteries are also used in other fields, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, wearable devices and even new energy vehicles.

But, as Van Dijk Klopp once said, the only downside to a good thing is that it is expensive.

That's right.

Although "all-solid-state lithium batteries" have absolute advantages over the mainstream ternary lithium batteries and semi-solid lithium batteries on the market, but because of the difficulty in processing and the high cost of lithium consumption, mobile phones, new energy Only the top configuration of the car will use the "all-solid lithium battery"!
However, if the "small energy storage power station" mentioned by Mr. Ouyang uses "all-solid lithium battery" as the energy storage battery, the cost will undoubtedly be very high.

The cost is negligible. On the other hand, because the "all-solid-state lithium battery" has high density and heavy weight, if it is transported from the earth to the moon, the transportation cost alone will reach several billion yuan!
This is only the initial investment, just the cost of a power station.

And the most important thing is, once the Phoenix Group really decides to make a "heavy asset investment" in the moon, there will be no turning back. Is it really worth investing now?

The office was very quiet. Director Zhang didn't leave with Master Ouyang. Seeing Hu Lai's pensive expression at this moment, he also guessed what Hu Lai was worried about.

However, this matter is of great significance and can only be decided by Hu Lai himself.

After a long while, the expression on Hu Lai's face finally showed a slight change. Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his spirits.
as predicted.

Hu Lai picked up his teacup and took a sip, then said slowly:

"Old Zhang, I'm going to agree to Master Ouyang's plan to carry out further and deeper 'lunar development'."

Director Zhang was not too surprised, nodded and said:

"I also agree with Chief Ouyang's plan. Both the 'electronic map of the moon' and the 'mobile charging station' are the most basic infrastructure for future activities on the moon."

"In the future, we can not only use it, but also sell corresponding services to other NASAs. In the long run, neither of these two investments should lose money."

"As for the funding issue, our current budget for 'Manned Moon Landing' is quite sufficient, and the initial investment to support this project is not a problem."

After the words fell, Hu Lai suddenly showed a smile on his face, shook his head and said:

"We can't count on the budget for the 'Manned to the Moon' program!"

"Old Zhang, although we still have US$1200 billion, projects such as 'Manned Moon Landing' and 'Space Base' still need money, so we have to find ways to raise more funds."

"I think this time our lunar 'solid water' is a good opportunity. After the 'lunar solid water' is successfully collected, in addition to the solid water distributed to the big dogs and the 'solid water' we keep for research, other Yes, sell them all!"

Speaking of this, Hu Lai paused, and said with an aggravated tone:
"Even if NASA wants it, as long as they are willing to pay, we will sell it!"

"Boss, NASA also sells?!" Director Zhang opened his eyes wide.

"Correct!"

Hu Lai's eyes revealed a hint of cunning.

"Scientists all over the world are now excited about the extremely scarce and precious 'lunar solid water' resources, but unknown to everyone except us, we are ready to start large-scale 'lunar solid water' collection!"

"As more and more 'lunar solid water' is discovered in the future, the precious 'solid water' will become commonplace! Now is the best opportunity for us to cut leeks, and we have to seize it Already!"

"So... the large-scale detection of 'solid water' or even 'mobile charging stations' on the moon should not be announced to the public for the time being, and we should kill them hard and cut leeks hard!"

Factory Manager Zhang looked happy and said yes again and again!

……

After confirming the expansion of investment in the moon, Hu Lai relaxed.

In the next few days, he set his sights on the matter that the space agencies and major scientific research institutes around the world are desperately hoping to cooperate with the Phoenix Group, hoping to obtain "lunar solid water".

Hu Lai was not polite, and directly forwarded the cooperation applications of Qatar, the Netherlands and other national space agencies to Director Wang who had withdrawn from the "Moon Joint Development Alliance" led by the Yan Kingdom some time ago.

What a joke.

You have withdrawn from our official "Moon Co-development Alliance", what face do you have to discuss cooperation with us now?

As for those who were forced to terminate cooperation with the Phoenix Group, Hu Lai originally wanted to force them to cooperate with the Phoenix Group again, but after deciding to increase investment in the moon, Hu Lai decided to let go of the restrictions.

Two weeks later, after some guidance from Professor Wu, a very high-quality announcement was officially released by Phoenix Group.

"Official Announcement: To the world's space agencies, major scientific research institutes, and individual scientists."

"Not long ago, after we announced the discovery of 'solid water' at the south pole of the moon, our Phoenix Group has been receiving applications from scientific researchers from all over the world, hoping to obtain 'lunar solid water' and the lunar soil around 'solid water' Wait for the research materials."

"As we all know, before this, several national space agencies reached a cooperation agreement with us, but in the end they terminated the cooperation with us because of the pressure from North America, which greatly harmed our interests."

"We originally didn't want to share our lunar achievements with the world, but we have always been committed to the development and progress of human science and technology, and we don't want to politicize aerospace research, so..."

"In the future, as long as countries that have joined our 'Lunar Joint Development Alliance' can purchase from us 'lunar solid water', lunar common lunar soil, lunar soil where the lunar solid water is located, and other different lunar soil samples."

As soon as the official announcement came out, those space agencies and scientific research institutions who had been struggling with how to obtain "lunar solid water" were excited.

No one expected that half a month later, the Phoenix Group's attitude would turn around 180 degrees, and in the end it still left a "way to live" for everyone.

Good guy!
What is an entrepreneur with ideals, this is called an entrepreneur with ideals!

Phoenix Group is such a good guy!
"Praise the Phoenix Group, God! Pure, the Phoenix Group is indeed too pure, they are really a clean stream in the world of lustful scientific research!"

"Oh, My God, I haven't been so moved for a long time. Their statement that they don't want to politicize space science and research really speaks to my heart. The Phoenix Group has indeed done better and more generously than NASA."

"I agree with you. The last time the Phoenix Group provided free 'space telescopes' to all scientific research institutes around the world to observe Jupiter collisions, they have already shown their 'generosity' and 'atmosphere'. This time they are willing to provide us with 'lunar solid water' It's even more rare!"

"That's right, we have to remember that this time our space agency breached the contract first. This is when the whole world is targeting them. They are still willing to provide us with lunar resources. I believe they are for human technology. development and progress!"

All major scientific research institutions praised the Phoenix Group, and many well-known professors publicly expressed their respect for the Phoenix Group on the Internet.

But two days later, when the Phoenix Group announced the prices of various lunar resources, many people fell silent.

"Ordinary lunar soil is priced at US$300 million per gram."

"Ordinary moon rocks on the moon sell for $500 million per gram."

"The lunar soil where the lunar solid water is located is 700 million dollars per gram."

"Moon solid water, 1000 million dollars per gram."

"..."

"The above prices are ordinary prices, and the National Space Administration and scientific research institutions that have maintained a good cooperative relationship with us can enjoy a [-]% discount. Please contact us for details."

After reading the price, everyone was dumbfounded!
Good guy, this price is not ordinary black!

And those scientists who praised the Phoenix Group a few days ago were completely dumbfounded. What does it mean to maintain a good cooperative relationship?

Except for the big dogs in the world, one of them has terminated their cooperation with the Phoenix Group. What kind of good cooperative relationship is it? !

Who else in the world can enjoy the [-]% discount of the Phoenix Group? !

But everyone also knew in their hearts that it would be good if the Phoenix Group was willing to provide lunar materials, so what else?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help their teeth itching... All of this was caused by that damn NASA!
hateful!

……

the other side.

Hu Lai no longer paid much attention to outside comments.

The reason why he wants to set such prices and discounts is to use this method to tell everyone in the world that maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Phoenix Group is a role model, and the benefits are great. Blame me for being embarrassed.

The next thing will be handled by dedicated staff. Even though the price of the Phoenix Group is very black, there are still many scientific research institutions paying for the reservation, especially those from North America...

Hu Lai, on the other hand, put all his thoughts on large-scale detection of "solid water" and "drawing an electronic map of the moon".

Soon, the first problem appeared, the cost of the detector was too high!

In the past, whether it was "Chang'e-[-]" or "Chang'e-[-]", they landed on the moon as scientific research mission vehicles, carrying a lot of equipment and the cost was extremely expensive!

Now, the large-scale detection of "solid water" and "drawing electronic maps of the moon" that the Phoenix Group is planning to carry out require a large number of lunar probes. Obviously, following the traditional "probe" thinking in the past will cost absurdly high.

and so.

The first step is to find a way to reduce the cost of the "detector"!

At the project team discussion meeting, Hu Lai was sitting on the sidelines and listening.

"To put it simply, our 'Lunar Exploration Rover' is designed for a very clear purpose, which is to detect 'solid water' on the south pole of the moon. The data."

"So...the 'Lunar Exploration Rover' does not have to carry a large number of advanced scientific instruments like traditional lunar probes, but instead only needs to carry a small amount of equipment that satisfies the functions."

"After simplifying the equipment, both the weight of the 'lunar rover' and the manufacturing cost will be greatly reduced."

The one who spoke was Wang Hai, a member of the "Lunar Exploration Rover" project team.

Hu Lai knew this person, and he had the impression that this person was a senior engineering engineer who had a high say in quality control and cost control.

"In addition, in the past, our 'lunar probes' were all customized models. Now that we are going to mass-produce them, I also suggest that the overall structure and production process can be optimized and improved. There is a gap in cost control between customization and mass production. It's very big!"

"Also, now that the instruments and equipment are reduced, the load-bearing requirements of the entire body are also reduced. In terms of materials, I think lighter body materials can be used, which can not only greatly reduce the weight of the 'lunar rover', but also improve the weight of the 'lunar rover'. The speed and battery life!"

These words are to the point, very professional.

Hu Lai couldn't help but nodded, but just when he wanted to continue listening, the discussion group had different opinions.

"I don't think there is a problem with the material problem that Master Wang said just now. We can indeed try some materials that are slightly weaker but lower in weight."

"However, we have verified the overall structure and production process of the 'Lunar Rover' many times on the 'Chang'e Series', and there will be great risks if we change it rashly."

"Especially the overall structure involves the transmission system, which is the most important capability of the lunar rover, so I think even if the production cost is more expensive, we don't have enough time right now, so it's best not to make changes."

After the voice fell, many members of the project team nodded one after another. Obviously, everyone also had such worries in their hearts.

Wang Hai doesn't care about being refuted, obviously similar discussions often happen in the group.

He smiled slightly, and continued:

"I can understand everyone's concerns, but in fact, after the functions of the 'Lunar Exploration Rover' are simplified, we can no longer design and define it with traditional thinking."

"Didn't you realize that the 'Lunar Exploration Vehicle', which only has 'map collection' and 'search missions', doesn't have the same functions as our 'map collection vehicle' on Earth?""

"As for the transmission system of the lunar rover just mentioned, why don't we actually try the 'new energy off-road vehicle' with a very high commercial maturity? The mature commercialization plan of our Phoenix Automobile Department is not necessarily better than our designed 'lunar Car' poor!"

When the voice fell, everyone present was quite surprised.

Commercial off-road vehicles converted into "lunar exploration vehicles"?
Good guy!
However, Phoenix Group has always been very strong in new energy vehicles, coupled with the strength of electronic equipment and software, it is really possible to come up with a suitable solution!

If it is really feasible, the cost will undoubtedly be greatly reduced if it is manufactured with the mature plan of Phoenix Motors!
Hu Lai's eyes lit up, this is a good way!
Off-Road Rover!
