The civilian mecha company had been quarreling for a while, and Yang Qinyun purchased 3% of the shares for a total price of 3.7 billion Singapore dollars. The 3.7 billion new currency is the new currency of the Republic. Its purchasing power is on par with that of Venus, and the economy is also just recovering, so the purchasing power of the currency is full. Its purchasing power is more than 10 times that of the former Chinese currency.
In addition to Yang Qinyun, the Republic also received a total of 10% of the shares, and the rest was obtained by bidding from the Empire. After all, it has local advantages, and the local area is more conducive to fund-raising and management, making the Republic still weaker. But Yang Qinyun is satisfied, 3% is the majority of the Republic's share! It is also enough to support the rise of the family.
Subsequently, the public launched a vigorous mecha propaganda. Different from the mechas in cartoons, real mechas, especially those produced by this civilian mecha company, are very similar in appearance to ordinary working machines! However, it is directly controlled by the human brain.
For example, cranes in the past all required complex control or computer control; but now they use the concept of mecha. Anyone who needs to sit in the machine, connect to the central computer, and stay in touch for an hour is a top worker! It's as simple as taking control of your own body!
This is the advantage of mechas. To be precise, this is the concept between machines and humans in the new era! The definition of mecha: expanding human capabilities, not replacing humans! And the empire has begun to embark on this new path of technological advancement!
According to the empire's estimates, it will take 20 years. All cars running on the ground need to adopt the mecha concept. Of course, there is a very important task before this: the cost of the central computer! Now such a central computer that can connect to the human brain would cost at least several million; if a high-end, no-delay central computer like the military were used, the cost would be as high as tens of millions of imperial coins! It is said that the empire is researching a central computer that can directly allow one person to operate the spacecraft. It is said that the estimated cost is as high as 100 million yuan!
With the establishment of the civilian mecha company, the empire began to quickly get rid of the influence of traditional industry - you know, although mankind has developed for more than two hundred years, it has never got rid of the influence of the first and second industrial revolutions and the third industry. The impact of the revolution. Mainly. No one has found a new development idea.
But with the popularity of the mecha concept. A new and broader development path has quietly emerged! (Originally, I wrote a lot of bidding scenes, but found that they were inconsistent with the theme and were watery, so I deleted them. Woohoo...)
at the same time. When the people were in an uproar because of mechas. The empire is also discussing one thing: high-energy physics! To be precise, it is the particle collider series of experimental instruments and so on! This decision was initially proposed but ultimately shelved.
The reason why it was proposed again is because the empire's high-energy physics research has reached a bottleneck! Seeing that quantity theory, optical research, separation research, new material research, field energy research, etc. have entered a bottleneck. After everyone discussed it, they had to jointly submit a letter: Your Majesty, the particle collider needs to be built!
Any research requires an experimental instrument; however, high-energy physics requires a more powerful instrument: a particle collider. Moreover, these "greedy" scientists actually want the empire to set aside a continent to build a high-energy physics experimental base; they even proposed to build a strong collider, a light and electric collider, and a weak collider. , Collider, Mass Collider, Antimatter Generator, Quantity Crack and Bubble Research Laboratory, Folded Space and Relativity Theory and Warp Theory Research Laboratory, Time and Light Speed Research Laboratory...
Zhang Liang felt dizzy after looking at this report. There are more than thirty applications, large and small; but the most important thing is: all applications have their own reasons - anyway, it is related to the empire's long-term plan. If you don't do it, you will be a sinner of the empire, even if you are the emperor. , I will also draw a circle and curse you!
The last one is the estimated consumption: after all construction is completed, it is estimated that it will take 20 years and 500 billion imperial coins! Well, the empire's technology, manpower and other costs are not included.
After Zhang Liang read it, he looked at Chen Feng with wide eyes. Since the successful launch of the Star Space Detector, the Empire has so far radiated more than 100 space detectors, all of which are within the detection range of the Empire within a radius of 20 light years. Because of this, Chen Feng has reached the pinnacle of his life. Of course, being in charge of the Imperial Academy of Space Sciences inevitably comes into contact with high-energy physics - in fact, whether it is materials, cosmic signal transmission, space detection, new energy, travel, etc., to be precise, high-energy physics is modern cosmic science. cornerstone. Therefore, Chen Feng had to take the risk.
By the way, facing Zhang Liang directly, Chen Feng was under considerable pressure. Although Zhang Liang usually doesn't have any arguments, when the space probe was launched, he jumped out and prepared to take the blame - but just like this, Chen Feng was afraid to face it! It's so respectable that people can't resist! This is another kind of authority! It’s not the so-called majestic grace of the emperor, nor is it the bullshit emperor’s supremacy; it’s a situation similar to that of a woman facing her elders! In fact, Zhang Liang is indeed much older.
But Zhang Liang also has his own judgment. The empire's current technology is enough to build all high-energy physics laboratories; but the empire's current finances are not sufficient and the manpower is relatively insufficient! While society is highly developed, the empire has also allocated a large amount of funds into space and infrastructure construction! But now space exploration has begun again, and the cost is even greater. To build these top physics laboratories is no easier than building a starry sky cannon. And if you add later maintenance, a large number of scientific research personnel, etc., Zhang Liang is scratching his head.
However, what makes people scratch their heads even more is that these are all must-haves for the empire. Maybe finances are tight, but as an emperor of the universe era, Zhang Liang understands the value of these things better. If the Empire is a high-rise building, then these high-energy physics laboratories and so on are the foundation - these things cannot be seen by others; ordinary people just know the technology of the Empire and can already build spaceships! But little do they know. What supports this technological empire is the seemingly absurd and unruly high-energy physics!
The current problem is that as the original high-energy physics knowledge is exhausted, in order to meet the rapid development of the empire and the upcoming interstellar expansion, high-energy physics research has to keep up.
However, looking at the applications one by one, Zhang Liang felt dizzy. The budget is too big, the projects involved are too big, and the scope of influence is too wide! The new empire cannot afford it! To be honest, these top laboratories tie the Empire and the Republic together even now. It’s all a bit difficult! There are several related laboratories on Earth. But I'm sorry - it's way behind the times! Their layout is too small!
"You go back first, I'll think about it." Zhang Liang rubbed his head vigorously. It's not easy to be an emperor. No wonder he had the expression on his brother's face when he accepted this position.
"Okay." Chen Feng said nothing nonsense. Obviously Zhang Liang did not refuse. He is only responsible for supervising the construction of the Star Cannon and he is very aware of the current financial situation of the empire. Keep doing it. It’s really overdraft! When leaving, Chen Feng looked at the large number of books around him, all of which had been read; obviously. The emperor is not a stage, this really requires real talent and learning.
But of course Zhang Liang is not without options - national debt is a very good solution! However, under the constant value currency system, the profits from government bonds are not very high, so it is not as good as investment. It is even possible that if you buy 100 yuan of government bonds now, you will still get 100 yuan in ten years! Because this is a constant value monetary system!
But there is a second way: raising funds! The targets for fundraising are expert companies and various aristocratic groups! These classes are still very wealthy! But when it comes to raising funds, I have to look to my father. For those princes of the uncle generation, only my father could talk to them; going there by myself would feel like being an emperor and overpowering others.
But Zhang Jingyuan came forward and talked about very strange things... Well, we brothers have been together for so many years. Although we live a good life, you don't have much room for development. I think that in this space exploration, if everyone builds an empire for fun, we will still be good and equal brothers in the future; otherwise, if this continues, we will only become more and more estranged.
Li Changxing and others looked at each other and noticed the excitement in each other's eyes. Yes, they have looked prosperous over the years, but since the establishment of the empire, these princes have kept a low profile - there is no way not to keep a low profile. The sworn brothers back then ended up saying very little. Zhang Jingyuan did not treat them badly. In fact, both their cultivation and their current status were almost all given to them by Zhang Jingyuan. Therefore, these people also knew that they did not cause any trouble. But such a secluded life is really uncomfortable.
And now, Zhang Jingyuan actually said: Let’s build a few empires together and have fun! It just so happens that the empire is about to enter an era of interstellar expansion, and there is really a chance for every brother to build an empire - the most important thing is that with the sworn status, everyone does not have to be afraid of betrayal and other weird things! Also, after practicing cultivation, everyone's lifespan has been very long, so they don't need to worry too much about the time lost by interstellar travel. Nowadays, the lowest ones all have a life span of 500 years. In this regard, Zhang Jingyuan is really a good brother.
In comparison, those businessmen, adventure teams, etc., although they are very honest here in the empire; but out of the empire's jurisdiction, those bastards don't know what they can do! Don’t forget, today’s space exploration, mining, etc. are all people who make money with their heads up. Can you expect these people to be Pianpianjun! So supporting these brothers in their nation-building is a great way to do that.
Then Zhang Jingyuan's next sentence left these people speechless: So what, since you are all ready to build an empire, do you want to invest? Not to mention anything else, the spaceships, manpower, technology, etc. you want must come from the empire in the first place! Just send all the assets over to Ma Ma Hu Hu!
"Nah, I knew there was nothing good going on!" Li Changxing was speechless. Of course, that's just doing it. Now that Zhang Jingyuan has promised everyone's future, there is no need to pursue too much money - even if Zhang Jingyuan doesn't point it out, everyone knows that it will not be of much use in the new empire. The most important thing is, as Zhang Jingyuan said, if they want to leave the solar system, the initial supplies must be obtained from the empire! And the current empire is not very wealthy. Investing their useless assets in the research and development of the empire is a win-win situation.
When the news spread, Zhang Liang was merciless in accepting money! There is an endless stream of nobles! As long as you promise them, everyone will be able to get the support of Star Nation in the future! In fact, most of the nobles here are senior executives of master companies; and enfeoffing these people will also be beneficial to the future expansion and unification of the empire! At worst, after reunification, they or their descendants can be enfeoffed to farther places. The universe is so big...
With the generosity of these people, Zhang Liangshou's wealth finally became much richer. After all, the empire had just been established, and there were too many places in the empire that needed investment. On the contrary, the nobles made little action, and the money in their hands was almost all dead money. Zhang Liang seemed to understand the reason why the Republic used to keep printing money. Helpless: Everyone has hidden their money and it cannot be circulated! This seriously hinders the economic development of the empire!
However, although the constant value currency system was simple at the beginning, it will be brilliant in the future; at this stage, Zhang Liang can only grit his teeth and persevere.
A few days later, Gao Chengyang rushed back. Zhang Jingyuan's eldest disciple and only disciple said this: It's useless for me to ask for money; anyway, I decided to be the patron saint of the empire. Of course, if you need money in the future, just don’t tell me that I don’t have money. In just a few days, Zhang Liang actually held a huge sum of 200 billion imperial coins in his hand! Coupled with the wealth gained from selling mechas some time ago, many plans can be launched. While high-energy physics research is being carried out on a limited basis, spacecraft plans are also on the agenda! (To be continued...)
