Three days later, Li Zetian came to the headquarters of SpaceX.
Under the leadership of the company's CEO, Li Zetian met with the company's senior figures, and then visited the entire company to learn more about the company's current situation.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, all the company's top management came to the conference room to listen to Li Zetian's guidance.
Li Zetian swept his eyes, his eyes were bright, he pondered for a moment, and said, "I visited the company today, um, it seems that the space exploration company has begun to get on the right track. Moreover, the employees of the company are also very enthusiastic about their work, which is very good. Before coming, I have read the information of SpaceX in detail."
Li Zetian paused and said solemnly: "Space Exploration Corporation is a company, not NASA, and can get government funding. If it is a company, it has to make money! Although the company cannot make money in the short term, I need to inject capital into the company for a long time. , but this is not a long-term solution! I also learned about the current market industry. Although the profits of military aircraft manufacturing are considerable, as a private company, government orders are not so easy to obtain. However, we can be in civil aircraft. The market is competing, and the civilian aircraft market is more profitable than the military aircraft market!!”
Li Zetian said, and suddenly thought of Boeing. Most of Boeing's profits come from the civil aircraft market, which is much richer than Lockheed Martin of the same level!
"So, the company will focus on the research and development of civil aircraft in the future!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to being able to travel around the world on my own plane!"
When everyone heard the words, they all smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Li, SpaceX will definitely develop the best aircraft to beat the Boeing 747!"
"Yes, beat Boeing, beat Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas..."
Li Zetian smiled and nodded: "Boeing 747 is the passenger plane with the largest passenger capacity in the world, then we will develop a 'big Mac' aircraft to surpass it!!!"
At this moment, Li Zetian no longer counts on the European Airbus A380, but decides to develop it himself. It will be interesting if he can crush Boeing and European Airbus.
Everyone present knew that Li Zetian had a lot of money and he spared no expense in research and development.
Enough money!
Expensive materials, equipment and other materials are enough!
Enough talent!
Those people from the former Soviet Union have been extremely shocked since they joined SpaceX. Many people said that if the Soviet Union could provide them with such good conditions, the aerospace technology would not know how many years it would be more advanced than it is now...
Many people believe that with the support of huge financial resources, the future of SpaceX is full of bright, and it will be a matter of time before companies such as Boeing, Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus are surpassed.
Scientists all have a crazy obsession and pursuit of technology. At this moment, Li Zetian said that he would develop an "air giant", everyone was full of confidence, and at the same time, they were very excited!
Li Zetian said with a smile: "Hehe, seeing that everyone is so confident, I am relieved. In addition, it is worth mentioning the development plan of the rocket! As everyone knows, after the rocket takes off, it is useless, because it If the rockets developed by SpaceX can return to land for the second and third launches, it will not only be environmentally friendly, but also greatly reduce the cost of rocket launches.”
As soon as Li Zetian finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Apparently, they didn't think of rocket recovery. The inertia of people's thinking is that rockets are all one-shot launches. If you want to launch satellites multiple times, you can use a manned, reusable spacecraft that travels between space and the ground, the space shuttle.
However, from a previous life, Li Zetian knew that the cost of spaceflight was not cheap, and he generally used rockets to launch satellites, which was more cost-effective. One of the most famous is the spaceX company.
The initial budget of the United States for the space shuttle program was 43 billion US dollars, and the cost of each launch was expected to be 54 million US dollars. However, due to the complexity of the space shuttle system (more than 2.5 million parts in the fuselage), technology and system maintenance required a lot of manpower and material resources. The plan went well beyond budget. As of 2011, the space shuttle program has spent a total of 196 billion US dollars, of which the cost of each space shuttle is about 12 billion US dollars. In this way, the average cost of a single launch is actually about 450 million US dollars (nearly ten million over budget). times).
Li Zetian did not dare to jump in this huge pit.
Before the technology is there, developing rockets is still a lot more cost-effective.
Li Zetian is only in his thirties, but he is actually still very young, and there is still a lot of time in the future. He can't help but imagine the life after humans leave the earth, such as planetary mining, space tourism, etc. Yes, it would be boring if you never left Earth.
When human beings look up to birds, they yearn to be able to fly themselves; when human beings look up to the stars, they naturally yearn to be able to travel in the stars.
Li Zetian thinks that wealth can be a rival to a country. With his full support, the aerospace industry of mankind will inevitably develop rapidly. NASA only spends tens of billions of dollars a year. SpaceX could crush it to slag.
In Li Zetian's heart, it is: "I am going to dig balls on the moon and settle down on Mars. The sea of stars is my goal!"
Of course, dreams are difficult to achieve, and the level of technology is not achieved by touch. However, Li Zetian has money, develops education, gathers talents, and provides high-tech R&D equipment, which will definitely speed up the development of science and technology and bring about rapid changes.
Over the years, Li Zetian has deeply understood the importance of money, especially the words of the Morgan family, "It is not the law that promotes history, but money, just money!!!"
Under the influence of money, Moore's Law was broken.
The overall level of global science and technology seems to be more advanced than the previous life for four or five years. Some fields, such as biotechnology, which Li Zetian invested heavily in, have definitely reached the level after 2000. In fact, these were made under the condition of limited funds of Li Zetian. Change. Now, with his wealth, he can change the world to a greater extent! ! ! Moreover, the Internet era has emerged, and the dissemination of information is conducive to the development of science and technology. At the same time, Li Zetian will also seek greater benefits and influence from it, and then use it to promote the rapid development of science and technology!
All in all, Li Zetian already has the ability to shake the earth's technology!
In the conference room of the Space Exploration Company, Li Zetian talked eloquently, scolded Fang Qiu, pointed the country, and shared some advanced insights from his previous life and his vision.
"Everyone, I don't care how much it costs, I only care about the rapid development of science and technology, let's work together for the great aerospace cause of mankind!!!" Li Zetian said loudly and passionately.
