Chapter 73 Asteroid Mining
“Intuitively, I think it’s OK. The hibernation cycle of large mammals like bears is 3 to 8 months.
Humans’ hibernation potential is also huge. .
It’s just that we haven’t explored this area so far, and we need to do more research to fully realize its potential.
At the same time, if it hibernates for such a long time, it must be done. The nutrient solution, just like in science fiction, must be soaked in a nutrient chamber
So from this perspective, long-distance round trips may not necessarily reduce the load of the spacecraft through human hibernation technology. ”
Chen Yuanguang now knows the answer and won’t tell you directly.
When Musk was in Silicon Valley, he often heard people mention Chen Yuanguang. Executives at Sequoia and IDG gave Chen Yuanguang a very high rating. He has a high evaluation, thinking that he is a rare scientific research genius who may be able to change the world, and is aggrieved that China does not allow them to invest in light armor technology.
It was only after talking with Chen Yuanguang that Musk discovered. , the other party has his own ideas and is very frank.
If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely brag about him and try to sell your company to the sky and sell it at a good price.

Whether it is possible or not is another matter, at least let me blow it off first. Anyway, I can do it, but it is impossible to write it into the contract.
"Wright, it is true that the technology needs to gradually mature. Just like SpaceX, it took us more than ten years from the beginning to decide to do this until it finally matured.
This is a very long time. Only the brave can enjoy the rich fruits of the process.
The same principle applies to human hibernation. It takes time to achieve long-term hibernation. If you say it is okay now, I will have doubts.
Wright, I am very optimistic about you. Research and development requires time and money. I have no other way to support you. I don’t understand this field, and there are very few experts in this field.
I have learned about the research results of Mayo Hospital, and they are at least two years behind them compared to yours.
I want to invest in Guangjia Technology, with a valuation of US$10 billion, and US$2 billion accounting for 20% of the shares. How about that. ”
10 billion RMB to 10 billion US dollars, an increase of six times in one year.
Of course this is completely reasonable, because the application range of human hibernation technology is too wide, and the application in the aerospace field is Vision, applications in the medical field will soon be implemented.
On the one hand, Musk’s investment is on the other hand, and he is the first to take advantage of the situation. There is actually no risk now. Even a valuation of 10 billion US dollars is nothing more than making money. The difference between earning more and less.
Lin Jia, who had been silent and silent, felt a little unreal.
You must know that her company has been in business for more than 20 years. It has developed from a single company to today's group enterprise. Its total assets are only about 50 billion RMB, and the combined market value of its three listed companies is only RMB 4. Around 10 billion, it is already very good for a regional real estate company to have this market value in the era of real estate downturn.
Vanke, the leader in the real estate sector, has a market value of only 120 billion.
The market value of Guangjia Technology is already US$10 billion, which is about more than 70 billion RMB. This development speed is comparable to that of a rocket.
This market value is not something you shout out by yourself, but today, when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, the U.S. dollar returns, and capital is in a cold winter, the world's richest people recognize it and pay for it with real money.
Lin Jia thought to himself, "Is the 4% of my shares actually so valuable? After the state-owned investment shares, Lin Jia's shares were diluted in equal proportions. No wonder the old man said that investors should not focus on the gains and losses of one moment and one place, but on the long-term Vision. "
Chen Yuanguang also thinks it is unreal, but he is much better than Lin Jia. The future is gone, so the financial stimulation is nothing.
"Elon, human hibernation has entered clinical trials. We will have a monopoly business in the foreseeable future, and the price is low.
And China should not allow foreign investment. "Guangjia Technology." Musk said: "I will find a way, I will only invest and not interfere in the operation.
The price is negotiable. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "Okay, money is not important to me, I need more data for verification.
Currently, due to restrictions in China, 99% of the clinical trial subjects of human hibernation technology are Chinese. We need more races for verification.
And now it is a short-term hibernation technology. If we want to study long-term hibernation technology, we need more samples. I hope to carry out human hibernation clinical trials in Europe, Africa and North America and obtain marketing authorization.
If you can help me do this, then no problem, the price of 10 billion US dollars is acceptable, the investment ratio is reduced, and a maximum of 15% of the shares will be sold in this round. ”
Chen Yuanguang understands this matter this way. Since China will allow Musk to take shares, they will also allow clinical trials overseas.
Musk did not agree immediately: "North America is OK, Africa should be fine, I need to confirm in Europe."
Chen Yuanguang continued: "I have a light-armor aerospace technology company. , I think we have more opportunities for cooperation.”
For Musk, Tesla is his job, and SpaceX is his goal in life.
He acquired Tesla, he is the founder of SpaceX, and going to Mars has always been his dream. This is a completely different concept.
Hearing Chen Yuanguang mention cooperation in the aerospace field, Musk's eyes lit up: "Are you also interested in going to Mars?
Yes, human hibernation is an indispensable technology for ocean-going aviation. What are you interested in? It’s normal to be interested in aerospace.”
Chen Yuanguang said: “I think asteroid mining is closer to us than going to Mars.”
Musk said: “I know, Neon Falcon. The year before last, the collection of underground materials from an asteroid was achieved for the first time, which was a historic achievement.
But it does not have much economic benefit. The equipment required for mining metal asteroids is too heavy. , it is difficult for traditional spacecraft to carry such heavy mining equipment.
Either optimize mining equipment or optimize fuel, choose one of the two. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "What if I have a way to optimize aerospace fuel? "
"Dr. Chen, we meet again. The human hibernation technology is indeed what you said. The patients in our internal clinical trials performed very well. It can not only alleviate insomnia, but also treat some mental disorders. It is effective for similar diseases.
It can effectively treat the sequelae of war. The post-war stress response caused by war can be alleviated through hibernation. "Lao Wu's tone did not fluctuate, and his eyes were full of admiration.
Chen Yuanguang said: "It seems that I still underestimated its potential. ”
In the same place as last time, it was Old Wu who was talking to him alone, and the supervisor sitting next to him was replaced.
Chen Yuanguang vaguely felt that Lao Wu was more polite to him this time, and he thought that he should have shown greater value.
"Musk approached Shenhai and expressed his hope to invest in Guangjia Technology. Dr. Chen, we need you to give a rough assessment result.
What do you think of this matter?"< br>
