I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"Treating cancer cells? Are you going to apply for a second project when you run out of funds?"

Serev sent back the report from the biological laboratory angrily. All expenses in the base are controlled by computers, and the artificial intelligence "Shan Hai" provides thoughtful and real-time summaries. The management is extremely clear and can accurately control the work of each department. Real dynamics.

Seeing that the deception was useless, Xie Miao was not discouraged:

"We are also planning to order a batch of new experimental equipment and consumables. The money must be approved, right?"

"How many?"

"I'll submit the report when I get back. It's about 200 million. Give us four more robots to start with. We don't have enough assistants."

"Your biological laboratory is really expensive. You just threw away billions without even seeing a splash."

Although he had a strong desire to complain, Serev still did not refuse. The 304 injection project is of a high level, and the base will give priority to it if it can satisfy it.

After sending Semyon away, Serev started to work again. There were a lot of things going on at the base these days.

Pioneer and Glory have to perform space station assembly tasks again, and Storm is waiting to launch on August 1. There are many personnel and equipment coming in and out. Although there is AI management, it still needs to be reviewed manually.

In particular, the two An-1250s have to take off and land frequently. This kind of super transport aircraft is not welcomed by air traffic control every time it applies for a route. It is too difficult to report to the Civil Aviation Administration of China every day. Not long ago, it almost scratched the plane because its wingspan was too long. When he saw the tail fin of a passing 767, he was called a "dispatch destroyer" by the tower.

A message suddenly popped up on his phone. Serev picked it up, looked at it and raised his eyebrows:

"United Mining Company?"

…

Beijing.

United Space Mining Development Co., Ltd., jointly invested by the National Space Administration, Xinyuan, 10 private aerospace companies and the remaining 6 domestic and foreign investment companies, with registered assets of up to 10 billion yuan, was officially established, referred to as United Mining.

The equity structure of United Mining is 35% each for Xinyuan and the Space Administration, 20% for private aerospace companies involved in the development of lunar mineral resources, 5% for domestic investment companies, and the remaining 5% for Arbor Royal Investment.

Although it had just been incorporated, its luxurious shareholders packed out the General Assembly Hall and the State Guesthouse for the celebration.

In addition to the leading representatives of various shareholders, many top leaders also came to speak.

Lin Ju sat in the middle of the first row, feeling that a celebration ceremony for the establishment of a company and a shareholder meeting had the aura of an important national meeting.

Of course, just looking at the lineup, it seems to be pretty much the same. Huaguo Gold Group also held 3% of the shares and sent a director. The foreign investor was Prince Sweetan, who led the team. The decoration of the venue was also top-notch.

Obviously, the above-mentioned officials attach great importance to the establishment of United Mining.

Xinyuan used practical actions that were close to stud to convince everyone that space mining has great potential. Coupled with the successive victories of the space agency and the space industry, United Mining was established with great fanfare.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Xinyuan and other private aerospace companies mainly invest in technology and real assets (such as spacecraft and space shuttles), while other shareholders invest large sums of money. The board of directors is allocated to each shareholder according to the proportion of shares, and the chairman of the board takes turns. One issue per year.

However, based on the shareholding ratio and actual control, United Mining is basically under the absolute control of the Aviation Development Committee, and it is just using it to better implement its plans.

"...I officially announce that the construction plan of the 'Guishu' ore mining and smelting base has been officially launched!"

Wu Yi, the first chairman and director of the Lunar Exploration Program Office of the National Space Administration, finished his speech and was immediately covered in warm applause.

Then came the various supporting figures present, and Lin Ju was the first to step forward without hesitation.

This was the first time that he stood in the middle C position facing everyone. The experience was really wonderful, and he felt good immediately.

After skipping a brief speech, he shouted into the microphone with a firm voice:

“Before no later than December, United Mining will organize no less than three lunar landing missions and send a total of 28 expedition team members from 11 industries to the moon.

At the same time, we will establish an outpost that can accommodate 5 people for long-term stays and 10 people for short-term stays. We will complete the construction of a 300-kilometer lunar highway in 2018 and build an annual crude steel output of no less than 10,000 tons by 2020. comprehensive smelting base.

Within two years, United Mining will send the first batch of refined lunar metal back to Earth! "

His voice revealed his determination, and everyone present applauded desperately.

Although it sounds exaggerated, people know that this is not bragging. Xinyuan can achieve this with its own strength, and it is this that strengthens their confidence.

Now, even if some people lack confidence, they still have doubts about the profitability of mining, and no one will question whether it can be done.

After Lin Ju passed, the remaining shareholders who came to power became much more confident and believed even more in the prospects of United Mining.

"Blue Sword Aerospace will provide..."

"TISCO Group's new vacuum converter..."

"..."

…

People who were looking forward to leaving the party moved to the State Guesthouse and held a grand banquet here.

Everyone toasted and talked about their future business plans in a very high-profile manner, especially the various private aerospace companies who actively showed up. They were all the more powerful ones who directly participated in the "Yushu" plan and tried their best to show themselves.

Lin Ju found Academician She in the corner who was eating food quietly, and found a seat next to him.

"Come, try this boiled cabbage."

"After eating it, it feels like there is too much chicken essence in the cabbage soup."

"Hahaha." Academician She laughed a few times, and then said seriously:

"This time the country completely believes in your development of rare space metals. You should brag about it online more."

Lin Ju: "What are you bragging about? I really want to do it!

But if you are going to start suppressing the stock price in the market and cutting off foreigners' leeks, United Mining will definitely make money. "

Academician She: “It’s not like I didn’t take you with me. When the time comes, the market will first think that space age rare earths are worthless, and then if some news spreads, they will think that these are concept stocks, a bubble, and unreliable. But who knows that you can really make it happen? Woolen cloth?

As long as United Mining does not disclose costs, no, even if it tells the world that it is losing money, it will be a big deal. These are strategic resources. The stock price will rise and fall, which is much easier than making hard-earned money. "

Lin Ju: "You just cheated me out of 2 billion... let the people from the central government do the trading, just don't let me lose everything, just recover some losses."

I'm still a little worried. It's not like ten years ago. People are becoming more and more cautious. "

Academician She shook his head: "No, space is the future environment, and it is constantly being sought after by the market.

And if you think about it, any company involved in space will definitely express its optimism about space mining. This is the only way forward in the future. Who will pop this bubble?

I think colleagues all over the world will soon add fuel to the fire and help us promote it. "
