919, lunar mining project(1/2)
As for Xia Yang, of course the robot spider project can be completed ahead of schedule, and he is in a good mood to joke with Ed.
However, the three newcomers Liu Qingzheng performed like this when they first joined Leso. It is true that the original development of Robot Spider was made by three people with rich experience, but it is also inseparable from hard work.
This stimulated other people in the Robot Spider Project Department, but they could not be compared with the newcomers.
As a result, the initial progress of the robot spider project was accelerated again.
Originally, Aide expected that the project could be put into mass production in April next year.
But after Christmas, the robot spider was developed in early January.
It will officially enter testing in February, and mass production will begin in March at the most, one month ahead of schedule again.
However, Xia Yang did not have time to participate in the first-generation robot spider test, and instead went to the United States.
Because after such a long period of competition, the three of them finally won the Starlink civilian communications service agency rights.
At this point, the entire Starlink civilian communications service will be fully represented by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company controlled by four people.
As for the Starlink civil communications agency, not to mention how much money can be earned every year, the annual communications service fees alone are at least hundreds of billions of dollars, which is a super cash cow.
The foursome once again grabbed a big piece of fat from the mouths of Citigroup's major conglomerates.
However, it may be to appease several major financial groups such as Citigroup, or simply to share the pork.
The U.S. military handed over the moon landing plan to several major Citigroup consortiums.
Musk's rocket company is responsible for all space transportation services such as the United States' manned landing on the moon and subsequent establishment of a base on the moon.
"cheers……!"
At the swimming pool of the luxurious manor, James was the first to toast, followed by Xia Yang and Julius to celebrate the victory!
The beauties in swimsuits who were playing in the pool swam over and raised champagne, joining in the fun and flattering!
You must know that the four people on the shore are not only super rich, but also one of the controllers of the world.
James has a habit of having a party of four without a beauties in swimsuits to add to the fun.
Especially this time it is a celebration party for winning a big project, so beauties in swimsuits are a must-have.
"Xia Yang, you don't know how ugly the faces of Stephen and his gang were when the military announced the results. They all looked like they had eaten dog shit. I was laughing so hard, hahaha!"
The four of them drank the wine in one gulp, and after sitting down again, Theodore vividly told Xia Yang how ugly the faces of Stephen and his gang were when they took away the big cake of Star Chain.
As he said this, Theodore himself burst into laughter. He thought it was a relief to see Stephen and the others deflated.
The same goes for Julius and James, with happy faces!
You need to know how much time the three of them spent in order to win the Starlink civilian service agent. They struggled for nearly two years.
Just because Stephen and his gang are like mad dogs, they keep staring at it and keep raising the quotation. Otherwise, with the connections and influence of the three of them, they would have won the big cake of Starlink Civil Agent long ago.
Of course, it is normal for a large project like Starlink Communications Agency, involving hundreds of billions of dollars, to take one or two years.
"Thanks to you for your hard work this time, I finally snatched away the fat piece of Starlink agent!"
Xia Yang smiled and was polite.
Of course, he was just being polite, otherwise he would not have let the three of them buy shares in the Giant Rockets Company.
"It's not bad, especially if Stephen and his gang eat shit, it's all worth it!"
James waved his hand and smiled.
Naturally, Xia Yang would not take what he said seriously. It was just cooperation between the two parties. This was their own business. Otherwise, why would Xia Yang seek cooperation with them? There were many American consortiums, and they were not the only ones.
Julius and Theodore did the same, waving their hands to show they didn't care.
Then, the two talked about some embarrassing things about Stephen. They heard that the competition for Starlink agents failed. Stephen found a woman that night, but he only lasted two minutes, and he was still taking medicine.
Xia Yang also joked that they could try harder and let Stephen hold on for one minute, which made the three of them laugh so hard that they slapped the table and said it was a good idea!
Rich people sometimes like to gossip just like ordinary people.
Of course, the level of ridicule is basically the same as those of the wealthy conglomerates like them.
Especially enemies like Stephen are undoubtedly the best targets for gossip and the happiest to make fun of.
Watching the four people chatting lively on the shore.
The young beauties in the swimming pool did not dare to disturb them. They just showed off their beautiful and sexy figures in the swimming pool, hoping to attract the attention of the four people and take them upstairs later.
After chatting and gossiping for a while, after finishing a bottle of fine wine, the butler opened another glass. Then, the four of them put away their smiles and talked about business.
"Obtaining the Starlink agent is only the first step. Next, we must lobby the U.S. military to launch the second phase of Starlink as soon as possible!"
James suggested.
Xia Yang and the other three nodded.
Indeed.
The entire Starlink project requires launching more than 40,000 satellites into space.
So far, only the first batch of satellites has been launched, and the number is only over 14,000.
Therefore, the communication quality is not stable.
The four of Xia Yang spent time and effort to get the Starlink agent, and naturally they were planning to get the full version of Starlink.
This is not the current half-finished product.
Of course, the most profitable thing is when the entire Star Chain is completed.
At that time, there will be no need to use any auxiliary terminal at all, and you can communicate smoothly anywhere in the world with your mobile phone.
"It's up to you to lobby the military. I only guarantee that as long as the military starts the second phase of Starlink launch, I can grab money as quickly as possible!"
Xia Yang promised that with the launch speed of the Titan rocket, it would definitely be the same as the first time and grab most of the Starlink satellite launch orders.
"We are convinced of this!"
James and the other three all nodded with smiles. They had absolute confidence in Xia Yang in this regard.
Starting from the second phase of Starlink, you can definitely grab the most money.
This is also the reason why they like to cooperate with Xia Yang, everyone takes their own responsibilities and achieves perfection.
"It has been quite some time since the first phase of Starlink. Have you heard about when the U.S. Military Department plans to launch the second phase of Starlink?"
Xia Yang secretly inquired about the news.
In fact, what he is concerned about is not the second phase launch of Starlink.
The real concern is the United States' moon landing plan and establishing a base on the moon.
If the United States plans to launch the second phase of Starlink in a short period of time, then the moon landing plan may not be carried out so early.
On the contrary, if the United States does not plan to launch Starlink in the near future.
Then a situation is likely to occur.
The United States plans to postpone Starlink, complete the moon landing plan, and first establish a base on the moon.
After all, these two projects are mega-plans, each costing astronomical amounts of money.
As for why Xia Yang cares about the U.S. moon landing plan, the reason is simple.
He was also interested in helium 3 on the moon.
With the development of human science and technology to this day, there is actually only one most important resource, and that is energy.
With enough energy, more powerful weapons can be made.
With enough energy, humans can go to farther galaxies.
With enough energy, humans can still live in a closed environment. Oxygen, food, etc. can be produced as long as there is energy.
Enough energy can also produce many rare substances in batches.
Such as gold.
Precious metals such as gold can be obtained by bombarding less valuable metals such as mercury with energy-consuming high-energy particles.
In the 19th century, physicists successfully created gold using this method.
For Xia Yang, it requires a lot of energy.
Because Ed built the space battleship, rare materials such as rhenium, rhodium, and titanium were basically available, but the space battleship still required a large amount of energy to start.
Although the uranium mines in Ukolan have large reserves, they are subject to strict international supervision.
It is simply not enough to secretly dig some uranium ore using a black-tech excavator. You must also be vigilant day and night to prevent being discovered.
If we could build a base on the moon and mine helium 3, we wouldn't have to worry about energy for space battleships.
After all, there are at least several million tons of helium 3 on the moon. When the time comes, you can open it up without worrying about being discovered.
Like the North and South Pole, the moon does not belong to any country but is shared by all mankind.
As long as you have the ability to go up there, dig wherever you want.
However, Xia Yang has always been cautious. In order not to stand out, he plans to wait until the United States establishes a base on the moon before going up there.
