Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Funded?

Are you working so fast?

The look of surprise flashed through the eyes of the ark and quickly continued to ask.

“How much? ”

“500 million! ”

Five hundred million?

The boat's expression was slightly disappointing, but soon returned to normal.

Money, though modest, is also a matter of temporarily alleviating the shortfall.

After all, the country is now going to market in the space sector, and it is impossible to spend too much money subsidizing one of his enterprises. In order to survive in this industry, it is necessary to rely on the multi-sectoral initiatives led by the CST, NASA and others to carry people on the moon.

If we win the bid and get some research projects like Moonsoil from NASA or the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there's basically no need to worry about the funding.

Similar to the idea of an ark boat, after listening to the secretary's report, and after a moment of frowning, he said, "500 million yuan… the first stage of the project is probably enough, and the rest of the funding can be reconsidered. ”

“Well," the ark nodded, "I'll think of something about the money, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Speaking of which, the Ark smiled and patted the technical director's shoulder, joking.

“Ten thousand steps back, if the funds are really not enough, I am the villa on Zijin Mountain to take the bank mortgage and guarantee our space shuttle to fly into space! ”

When I heard the words of the ark, the weather was slightly stunned, and the whole person was moved and unable to speak.

Selling houses to build airplanes…

What kind of emotion is this in today's wandering society?

He asked himself, even if he were himself, he would never have the strength to do so.

If you build a plane with a big man like that, why are you worried about the possibility of going into space?

Thinking of this, Wei Guang respectfully straightened his waistplate and made a solemn promise.

“I will not fail your expectations! ”

I didn't expect his reaction to be so exaggerated, and the ark was embarrassed for a while.

Ten thousand steps back, really to the point of mortgage, he can't mortgage the house.

His house, where's the East Asian power stock or the patent value of a lithium-sulfur battery?

Take the latter two as collateral, obviously lend more...

The ark coughed softly and turned the subject off to continue.

“Anyway, just do what you have to do, and don't worry about anything else. At the end of the year's bidding conference, we must try to win as much as possible. If we win the bid on the big projects from the CST and NASA, there will be virtually no problem with the subsequent funding! ”

Hokkaido nodded.

“I get it. ”

……

Virginia.

CIA headquarters.

Sitting at his desk, the director of the CIA is eyebrowing the documents on the desk and carefully reading the information sent from the European region about the ITER project.

At this point, the door suddenly heard a knock.

He stopped the pen in his hand, closed the file and looked down at the silent channel at the door.

“Come in. ”

Office door pushed open.

Only a white agent, about 40 years old, was seen walking in from the outside with a document bag in his hand.

“Mr. Director, our agents deployed in China are returning the latest information, and the National Institute of Naval Equipment is developing a more reliable power unit. ”

“Reliable power unit?” The director's eyebrows picked slightly, "more specifically? ”

The agent took a deep breath and said in an uncertain tone.

“… is said to be a small controllable fusion device. ”

“Small controllable fusion?” The pupil suddenly contracted to a point, and the director bounced out of the office chair, holding the table with his hands and continuing to ask, “Is the message reliable? What about the detailed report? ”

“The accuracy of the message is still being verified… of course, the report is ready. ”

The agent, who was not a simple agent, stepped forward, placed a paper report on his desk, took two steps back, and stood behind his hands.

Picking up the report on the table, the director sat back on the chair and looked at it in line.

“Estimated power can reach 500-1000MW... using an unknown technical route, possibly different from a traditional magnetic constraint route," put down the report in hand and the director looks at the agent, "is that all there is to it? ”

The agent nodded: “That's all for now. ”

There was silence in the office.

About five minutes later, the director suddenly said.

“Could it be that Professor Lu? ”

The agent frowned slightly.

“This possibility exists… but it is unlikely. According to our agents in China, after the completion of the STAR-2 Mirror Project, Professor Lu resigned from his position and, although later engaged in research on acoustic fusion, the final project did not yield tangible results… even the project team was withdrawn last month. ”

Sound fusion is a way of thinking about cold fusion, and research related to cold fusion was proven to be a “scam” in the 1980s by several agencies, including the National Academy of Sciences of the United States and the Department of Energy.

It turns out that even Professor Lu, who is "often undefeated” in the academic field, was not able to take down the fortress.

While the CIA Regional Intelligence Office of China has not analysed the potential failure of China to disguise the success of the experiment, given that the Ark has been busy studying the Yang Mills equation for some time now, it is not possible to dedicate time to the study of acoustic fusion.

In all likelihood, the so-called acoustic fusion was just a smoke bomb released by the Chinese authorities, covering up that top-secret study at the Naval Equipment Institute.

Obviously, and with that in mind, the rethinking director did not speak, but simply knocked his index finger constantly on the table.

About five minutes later, his eyebrows loosened and he slowly leaned against the chair.

“Professor Lu is very unlikely to be involved… but I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with him. ”

The agent moved slightly in his heart.

“What do you mean? ”

Staring at the report on the desk, the director lowered his voice and said.

“Now we are not sure whether this is a decoy deliberately released by the Chinese or whether they have really achieved some results. ”

“In any event, obtaining more information is key to resolving the problem. ”

“Increase the intelligence staffing in the Jinling area, especially the Space Shuttle Assembly Center! I need to know exactly what the Ark is doing in there. And the Naval Equipment Institute in Shangjing, if they're really doing research on controllable fusion miniaturization, we can always find some signs. Report any new clues, big or small, to me immediately! ”

The agent stood upright.

“Yes, sir. ”
