Chapter 472 Off-road Lunar Rover

Half an hour later, Chief Ouyang left Hu Lai's office.

This time, Hu Lai did not immediately decide on "drawing an electronic map of the moon" and "mobile charging stations".

For General Engineer Ouyang, he proposed a series of future "lunar development plans" from a scientific and technical perspective, with the purpose of developing the moon.

But for Hu Lai, what he needs to consider is not only whether things can be realized on a technical level, but also on a business level.

In particular, "drawing electronic maps of the moon" and "mobile charging vehicles" are easy to talk about, but building a "small energy storage power station" on the moon requires serious consideration.

As we all know, since the Phoenix Group developed the "all-solid-state lithium battery", it has been quickly applied in

Aerospace field.

Not only in the aerospace field, all-solid-state lithium batteries are also used in other fields, such as laptops, mobile phones, wearable devices and even new energy vehicles.

However, as Van Dijk Klopp said, the only disadvantage of good things is that they are expensive.

That's right.

He smiled slightly and continued:

…

However, this matter is of great significance and can only be decided by Hu Lai himself.

“Scientists around the world are now excited about the extremely scarce and precious ‘lunar solid water’ resources, but unknown to all of us except us, we are already preparing to start large-scale collection of ‘lunar solid water’!”

"We can't all count on the budget for the 'Manned Moon Landing' project!"

And those scientists who praised Phoenix Group a few days ago were completely dumbfounded. What does it mean to maintain a good cooperative relationship?

"After simplifying the equipment, both the weight and manufacturing cost of the 'lunar rover' will be greatly reduced."

"In the future, as more and more 'lunar solid water' is discovered, the now precious 'solid water' will become common! Now is our best opportunity to cut leeks, and we must seize it.

Got it!"

Hu Lai was not polite and directly forwarded to Director Wang the cooperation applications from the space agencies of Qatar, the Netherlands and other countries that had recently withdrawn from the "Moon Joint Development Alliance" officially led by Yan Guo.

After reading the price, everyone was stunned!

Good guy, this price is not ordinary!

"I also agree with Chief Engineer Ouyang's plan. Both the 'lunar electronic map' and the 'mobile charging station' are the most basic infrastructure for future activities on the moon."

"The above prices are ordinary selling prices. NASA and scientific research institutions that have maintained good cooperative relations with us can enjoy a 50% discount. Please contact us for details."

"Next, as long as the countries that join our 'lunar joint development alliance' can purchase 'lunar solid water', lunar ordinary lunar soil, lunar solid water lunar soil and other different lunar soil samples from us."

"Lao Zhang, I am ready to agree to Commander Ouyang's plan to further carry out 'lunar development' in greater depth."

…

What a joke.

Good guy!

What is an ideal entrepreneur? This is what an ideal entrepreneur is!

"But the overall structure and production process of the 'lunar rover' have been verified many times on the 'Chang'e series'. If we change it rashly, there will be great risks."

"I agree with you. The last time Phoenix Group provided free 'space telescopes' to all scientific research institutes around the world to observe the Jupiter collision, they have shown their 'generosity' and 'atmosphere'. This time they are willing to provide us with 'lunar solid water'

It’s even more rare!”

Speaking of this, Hu Lai paused and said in a serious tone:

"Even if NASA wants it, as long as they are willing to pay, we will sell it!"

"We originally did not want to share our lunar results with the world, but we have always been determined to develop and progress human science and technology, and do not want to politicize aerospace scientific research, so..."

Phoenix Group is such a good person!

"Praise the Phoenix Group, God! Pure, the Phoenix Group is indeed too pure. They are really a breath of fresh air in this decadent scientific research world!"

Two weeks later, after some guidance from Professor Wu, a very high-quality announcement was officially released by Phoenix Group.

"As we all know, many NASAs have reached cooperation agreements with us before, but in the end they terminated cooperation with us due to pressure from North America, which greatly harmed our interests."

Why the hell have you withdrawn from our officially-led "Moon Joint Development Alliance"? Why do you still have the nerve to talk about cooperation with us now?

"Solid water on the moon, $10 million per gram."

Hu Lai picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said slowly:

At the project team discussion, Hu Lai was sitting aside and listening.

The first step is to find ways to reduce the cost of the "detector"!

There are dedicated staff responsible for the next thing. Even though Phoenix Group's prices are very low, there are still many scientific research institutions paying for reservations, especially scientific research institutes from North America...

These words are to the point and very professional.

"In addition, in the past, our 'lunar probes' were all customized models. Now that we are preparing for mass production, I also suggest that the overall structure and production process can be optimized and improved. The cost control gap between customization and mass production

It’s very big!”

After a long while, the expression on Hu Lai's face finally changed. Director Zhang suddenly looked startled and became more energetic.

As expected.

"So... the large-scale exploration of the moon's 'solid water' and even the 'mobile charging station' will not be announced to the public for the time being. It is time for us to kill them and cut the leek!"

The speaker was Wang Hai, a member of the "Lunar Exploration Rover" project team.

"To put it simply, the design purpose of our 'lunar exploration rover' is very clear, which is to detect 'solid water' on the south pole of the moon. Another purpose is to collect the surface landforms of the moon while driving to provide sufficient information for the mapping department.

data.”

Wang Hai doesn't mind being refuted, obviously similar discussions often happen in the group.

After the words fell, Hu Lai suddenly showed a smile on his face, shook his head and said:

As soon as the official announcement came out, those space agencies and scientific research institutions that were originally struggling to obtain "lunar solid water" became excited.

Now, the large-scale detection of "solid water" and "electronic mapping of the moon" that the Phoenix Group is planning to carry out will require the use of a large number of lunar probes. Obviously, the cost will be ridiculously high if we follow the traditional "detector" approach in the past.

In the next few days, he focused on the fact that space agencies and major scientific research institutes around the world are eager to cooperate with the Phoenix Group in the hope of obtaining "lunar solid water".

"I can understand your concerns, but in fact, after the 'lunar exploration rover' simplifies its functions, we can no longer design and define it with traditional thinking."

Who else in the world can enjoy the 50% discount from Phoenix Group now?!

“Ordinary lunar soil sells for US$3 million per gram.”

"Old Zhang, although we still have 120 billion U.S. dollars, projects such as 'manned moon landing' and 'space base' still cost money, so we have to find ways to raise more funds."

However, everyone also knows that if the Phoenix Group is willing to provide lunar materials, what else can it do?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel itchy... All of this was caused by that damn NASA!

hateful!

Soon, the first problem appeared. The cost of the detector was too high!

Hu Lai no longer paid much attention to outside comments.

"..."

But two days later, when the Phoenix Group announced the prices of various lunar resources, many people fell silent.

Major scientific research institutions are full of praise for Phoenix Group, and many well-known professors have publicly expressed their respect for Phoenix Group on the Internet.

Except for the big dogs in the world, every one of them has terminated their cooperation with the Phoenix Group. What kind of good cooperative relationship is it?!

"The lunar soil where the solid water on the moon is located costs US$7 million per gram."

Director Zhang was not too surprised, nodded and said:

No one expected that half a month later, the Phoenix Group's attitude would turn 180 degrees, and finally leave everyone a "way to survive."

There was a hint of cunning in Hu Lai's eyes.

"Boss, NASA also sells it?!" Director Zhang opened his eyes wide.

so.

"Yes, we must remember that this time it was our space agency that breached the contract first. This is despite the fact that the whole world is targeting them, and they are still willing to provide us with lunar resources. I believe they are doing it for human technology.

development and progress,!”

After confirming the expansion of investment in the moon, Hu Lai relaxed completely.

"Ordinary lunar rock on the moon sells for US$5 million per gram."

"Also, now that there are fewer instruments and equipment, the load-bearing load of the entire car body will also be reduced. In terms of materials, I think lighter body materials can be used. Not only can the weight of the 'lunar rover' be greatly reduced, but the weight of the 'lunar rover' can also be improved.

The speed and battery life!”

After the words fell, many members of the project team nodded, obviously everyone also had such worries.

The reason why he sets such prices and discounts is to tell everyone in the world in this way that maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Phoenix Group is a role model for big dogs. There are great benefits. If you are willing to be NASA's dog leg, then don't
