Chapter 1275
"OK, if Musk doesn't help me with this favor, then I won't play with him in the future, but he should have no reason to refuse, Bezos' Blue Origin has been creating increasing competitive pressure on the spacex launch business in recent years."
"He won't take this big order with at least $1 billion in profit, Blue Origin can't wait, except I wonder if ESA will be furious and cursing if they get the news." Li Linfei said this very unkindly, which drew laughter from the room.
"Orbital resources are first come, first served, that's the rule set by the West, no one is to blame, haha."
If ESA knew about this, they would not only be angry, they would be furious.
The satellite orbital resources planned more than ten years ago are now all taken up by the Beidou system, and the European debt crisis has erupted, Europe has the technology, but it really doesn't have the money for these super expensive "big toys".
If it weren't for the Europeans' attempts to screw people over, China wouldn't have made up its mind to build Beidou itself.
First they look down on it, then they are determined to do it themselves, and finally they are successful in the face.
And the hapless ESA had to accept this and had to fall back on a new orbital resource for the Galileo system, but it was certainly not as good as the previous one.
This time the Europeans thought they could take their own time, the Chinese had already got their own positioning system working and the remaining one, San and Little Ben, didn't worry him.
The European people feel that they can take their time and get it right.
Li Linfei is unkindly worried that ESA will know will not be mentally exploded, ready to break the can, this labor Galileo system simply kill it.
Galileo system in accordance with ESA's expectations to build the completion of the 13.5 billion euros, that is, 100 billion soft sister.
Now the Europeans want to pay an extra 100 billion in three years for the positioning system, even if he had to sell the EU headquarters building is impossible to come up with this money.
Europeans are still in the yellow vests, they don't have the money! That's how realistic and heartbreaking it is.
That's why having money is such an important thing.
"Mr. Li, I don't know if you've noticed the concept of using microwaves to transmit electricity that Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and JAXA have been studying for years, which just confirms the strategy that Japan has been deep into solar power generation in space because of energy shortages."
After saying to here the Ye Jun look to Li Lin Fei with a tone of proof added to ask: "small Benji's space solar power has the possibility of realization?"
Li Linfei: "You mean their 'SSPS plan'?"
Ye Jun: "Yes."
The so-called "SSPS" is a space solar power generation system, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries plans to use this technology from 2030 to 2040 to transmit electricity from power generators in space to the ground via microwaves.
In this regard, Li Linfei did not hesitate to shake his head in the negative: "Xiao Benzi is more ambitious than the sky, not to mention that the fundamental problem of their wireless power transmission technology has never been broken through, making a PPT to tell a story is so unreliable."
"According to this plan of theirs, reaching the level of power generation of a commonly used megawatt installed capacity would require the use of huge solar panels three thousand metres in diameter for power generation in space."
"Frankly that's more difficult than sending ten space stations up there, and Little Ben can't even send one up there, it sounds unreliable."
"There's only one country in the world that can do this kind of mega project, really, and that's us, now that we're wirelessly transmitting electricity and it's terahertz waves not microwaves."
But we won't do it, an investment of this scale is hundreds of billions of dollars to bottom out at first glance, the power generation is less than 5% of the Three Gorges, how can we repair it if it gets hit? It's typically a thankless task, and although moving into space is inevitable, it's also a visionary plan."
Li Linfei also added in his heart: if you have the heart to engage in this, you might as well pound out controlled fusion or high energy density energy storage batteries first.
Ye Jun invited Ye Hua to discuss on behalf of the State Grid this time, mainly to briefly introduce the future communication and coordination mechanism established by the State Grid in the near future, although now it is only a pilot lead in the Huidong Special Zone first.
But for the future projection no matter coastline company or state grid has been very clear, advance vision planning is inevitable, which in turn is bound to be a huge super project.
The importance of this project can be seen in the fact that Ye Jun, as Vice President of the State Grid, is personally in charge of this project and does not care about anything else.
After all, the country's intentions and grand strategies are unimaginably large, and the attempt to link electricity to RMB is not only equivalent in nature to linking oil to USD, but electricity is to a large extent more radical than oil.
Ye Jun's task is to make every effort to do a good job on this strategic project and to promote in-depth cooperation between the State Grid and the Future Technology Group in multiple fields, the key being to deepen the efficient operation of the coordination mechanism, followed by increased cooperation in areas such as marketing, major projects and clean energy transmission across regions.
......
Near the construction site, a tall woman with a foreign face was taking panoramic photos of the radio tower construction site with a smartphone, heck it was the phone that was scratched for the brand.
She was dressed quite formally and was carrying a work badge. A journalist! She was from the UK to be precise, and her work badge showed that she worked for the BBC British Broadcasting Corporation.
Just an hour earlier, she had attended the coverage of an exchange conference held in the High Tech Zone.
"Hmm?" She manually expanded as she snapped a high-resolution photo, and it had to be said that the Paddle for mobile phones take really powerful pictures, and are one of the very popular smartphone brands in Europe.
The photo showed a group of about ten people on the edge of the construction site and she recognised an extremely young face in it all the same, who else but Li Linfei?
Seeing this legendary giant of the global technology and business world, she decisively put her phone away, took out the recorder she was carrying to make sure it was okay and then quickly rushed off.
......
"Mr. Ye stay, this is it." On the other hand, Li Linfei and Ye Jun and others parted ways after a few words of courtesy, taking off his helmet and handing it to a bodyguard by his side he headed for the car that had been waiting for a long time in advance.
Chapter 1276
A security guard took small, quick steps ahead to open the car door for him, but just as Li Linfei was walking towards him, this guard's eyes cast behind him and saw a young, beautiful foreign woman approaching, quickly noticed by the bodyguards accompanying her, two of whom immediately reached out to intercept her.
"Mr Li, excuse me, Hi~~ Mr Li I'm Helen Jones, a reporter for the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), may I interview you?"
Li Linfei was confused by this reporter who popped up and looked at her.
When Helen Jones saw him looking towards her, she spoke fluent Chinese, "May I? Just one interview with you, just one!"
"Let him come over." The two bodyguards who had stopped her nodded down silently and withdrew their hands, and Helen Jones instantly walked towards Ye Hua and went.
"I was wondering ...... why seven or eight out of ten Westerners I've met speak thievish Chinese and the rest are learning it."
Hearing Li Linfei say so, Helen Jones lightly ruffled her side hair and smiled elegantly, "Thank you for your compliment, in the 21st century China will become a super power, the infamous international financial predator Soros' seventh letter to his daughter: this is the century of China, go learn Chinese language, Chinese characters, Chinese culture."
Soros' exact words were: Chinese will be the next world language and the best advice I can give to anyone anywhere in the world is probably to get your children and grandchildren to learn Chinese. In their generation, Chinese and English will be the two most important languages in the world.
Wherever there are people, there are Chinese, and wherever there are Chinese, there is money to be made.
This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it also shows the pervasive camping spirit of the Chinese, and indeed there are indeed Chinese people everywhere on the planet now.
"You're British?" Li Linfei asked curiously. Soros was one of the three biggest financial giants in the world and was known as the "myth of Wall Street".
But from what Helen Jones said, she was not a big fan of the predator, and working for the BBC basically confirmed that she was British.
After all, Soros also sniped the pound back in the day, much to the displeasure of the British.
"Yes."
"That may be a long way off, OK, Ms Helen your question is?"
At that Helen Jones looked away at the radio tower construction site not far away, looked back at Li Linfei again and asked, "I'm sure that China would not allow a foreign country to come to their own country to build such a radio station that their national economy is extremely dependent on?"
Li Linfei smiled and asked rhetorically, "If the City of London is to be upgraded in the future and you Brits don't want foreigners to help, then I ask, do you have the funds? Do you have the technology? Do you have the talent?"
Helen Jones: "......"
Standing in the position of the British today, Li Linfei definitely launched a trifecta of rhetorical questions that hit the British soul with unparalleled sharpness, and Helen Jones, as a Brit, was speechless to these three rhetorical questions.
Once upon a time, when the British Empire was sunsetless.
Once upon a time, the Chinese nation was weak.
These three questions were previously asked only by the British to the Chinese, so it is clear what kind of changes have taken place in the world.
As an Englishman looking back on the last century, and even the last century, and then looking at the present day, I think it must be very complicated.
The British now, in comparison to the Chinese today, have no money, no technology and no talent.
The entire country of China last year, the total amount of investment in research and development is more than 500 billion U.S. dollars, ranking the world's second and more than the entire European Union, the first or the United States of America nearly 600 billion U.S. dollars, China behind the third row is 200 billion U.S. dollars of the small book.
The United Kingdom ranks eighth in the world, with just over US$40 billion, and its overall investment in R&D is less than a tenth of China's, while San is over US$50 billion.
This shows that the once sunless British Empire has no food left to spare, and still has to squeeze in a bit of money to fix the Queen's garden or something.
When he saw that Helen Jones had nothing to say and her expression was getting complicated, Li Linfei asked again: "OK, you British now have no money, no technology and no talent. Then do you want to develop? Development = future, so are the British going to decide to give up on the future?"
Helen Jones opened her mouth slightly, but wanted to speak, because there were still no words.
After a moment she finally reacted to the fact that she was the journalist, she was the one asking the questions and was being asked by him instead.
Immediately she found her words: "No, I mean what would the Chinese do if they had no money and no skills?"
"Is that even a question? Isn't that how we Chinese came to be? Did we have money in the last century? Had the technology?"
Li Linfei asked himself, "How did we do it? Simply put, four words - attracting investment."
With that, Li Linfei looked up at the sky and once again dropped his gaze on her. "If there's anything else you want to ask I'd be happy to answer, and I'm quite keen on the British style, could you recount it for me? If there's nothing else I'll leave you to it."
Li Linfei looked at him for half a day and saw that he hadn't said anything yet, so he didn't bother to talk to him, got in his car and left.
And when Helen Jones saw that Li Linfei had gone, she smiled helplessly and also went away.
......
Next, according to the planned line of development, the future technology group global business has all resumed development, PHC2.0 has been listed overseas, which does not need Li Linfei's extra attention.
The next step is the monthly drama experience, just don't know which drama this time.
This time Li Linfei was at the Institute for the drama experience.
This time, the experience was unexpected, but it was the Love Apartment, and I didn't know how many it was.
Just after crossing over, the system came to the task.
"The host has crossed over the plot for the second part of Love Apartment, the system has issued the following tasks."
Mission 1: The host needs to reach a friendship level of 90 or higher with all seven people in the plot, these seven people are: Hu Yifei, Tang Youyou, Qin Yumo, Zeng Xiaoxian, Zhang Wei, Guangu Shen and Lu Ziqiao, the host can check the friendship level with these seven people at any time in the mission panel." (The system comes with its own progress task bar.)
Mission completed: 5,000 mission points.
Mission failure: Mission points returned to zero.
Mission 2: Find a girlfriend, fall in love, fall in love."
Mission complete: five thousand mission points.
Mission Failure: You stay here, you can't even complete such a simple task.
