Chapter 680 Five Billion

Funding down?

Do things so efficiently?

The surprised expression flashed from Lu Zhou's eyes, and he quickly continued to ask.

"How much is approved?"

"Five billion!"

Is it only 500 million?

Lu Zhou's expression was slightly disappointed, but he soon returned to normal.

Although there is not much money, it can be regarded as a temporary relief of the shortage of funds.

After all, the country is now going to be market-oriented in the aerospace field, and it is impossible to spend too much money to subsidize his company. If you want to survive in this industry, you still have to rely on the manned moon landing program led by the Science and Technology Commission, the Space Administration and other departments.

If you can win the bid in the plan, and then get some scientific research projects such as collecting lunar soil from the space agency or the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you basically don't have to worry about funding.

The idea is similar to Lu Zhou's. After listening to the secretary's report, Hou Guang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "500 million yuan... the preliminary project is probably enough, and the subsequent funds can be considered later. Method."

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, "I'll figure out how to deal with the funding, so you don't have to worry about it."

Having said that, Lu Zhou smiled and patted the technical director on the shoulder, and joked.

"Ten thousand steps back, if the funds are really not enough in the future, I will take the villa on the Zijin Mountain to the bank as a mortgage, and I will also guarantee that our space shuttle can fly to space!"

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Hou Guang was slightly stunned, and was so moved that he couldn't speak.

Selling a house to build an airplane...

In today's materialistic society, what kind of feelings is this?

He asked himself, even if he was himself, he definitely didn't have such courage.

If you follow such a boss to build an airplane, why worry about it being impossible for the airplane to go into space!

Thinking of this, Hou Guang straightened his back in awe, and promised solemnly.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

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

Taking ten thousand steps back, it is impossible for him to mortgage the house when it really comes to the point where he needs to mortgage the loan.

How can his house be worth as much as the shares of East Asia Electric Power or the patents of lithium-sulfur batteries?

If you take the latter two as collateral, you can obviously get more loans...

Lu Zhou coughed lightly, diverted the topic and continued.

"In short, just do what you need to do well on your side, and don't worry about other things. We must try our best to fight for the year-end bidding conference. After winning the bid, there will basically be no problems with subsequent funding!"

Hou Guang nodded vigorously.

"I see."

...

Virginia.

CIA headquarters.

Sitting at his desk, the director of the CIA was staring at the documents on the desk with his brow furrowed, carefully reading the information about the ITER project sent from Europe.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

He stopped the pen in his hand, closed the document casually, looked towards the door and said in a deep voice.

"Please come in."

The office door opened.

I saw a white detective in his early forties walking in from outside with a file bag in his hand.

"Mr. Director, our agents deployed in Huaguo sent back the latest information, and the Huaguo Naval Equipment Research Institute is developing a more reliable power plant."

"Reliable power plant?" The director raised his eyebrows slightly, "How about more specific?"

The detective took a deep breath and spoke in an uncertain tone.

"It is said...it may be a small controllable fusion device."

"Small-scale controllable fusion?" The pupils shrank to a point in an instant, and the director jumped up from the office chair, propped his hands on the table and continued to ask, "Is the news reliable? Do you have a detailed report?"

"The accuracy of the news is still being verified...Of course, we have prepared the report..."

As he said that, the detective with a different identity took a step forward, put a paper report on the desk, took two steps back, and stood still with his hands behind his back.

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

"It is estimated that the power can reach 500-1000MW... The technical route is unknown, and it may be different from the traditional magnetic confinement route." Putting down the report in his hand, the director looked at the agent, "Is this the only clue?"

The agent nodded: "That's all for now."

There was silence in the office.

After about five minutes, the director suddenly spoke.

"Could it be that Professor Lu?"

The detective froze for a moment, then frowned.

"There is such a possibility... but it is unlikely. According to our agents in Huaguo, after the completion of the STAR-2 stellarator project, Professor Lu resigned from the relevant position, although he later engaged in the research of acoustic fusion , but in the end the project did not achieve significant results... Even the project team was withdrawn last month."

Acoustic fusion can be regarded as a way of thinking of cold fusion, and research related to cold fusion has been jointly proved by many institutions such as the National Academy of Sciences and the Department of Energy to be a "scam" in the 1980s.

Facts have proved that even Professor Lu, who is "constantly victorious" in the academic field, failed to capture this fortress in the end.

Although the Huaguo Regional Intelligence Office of the CIA has analyzed that Huaguo may use failure to cover up the success of the experiment, considering that Lu Zhou has been busy with the research of the Yang-Mills equation some time ago, it is impossible to spare time to take into account the problems of acoustic fusion. Research.

It is very likely that the so-called acoustic fusion is just a smoke bomb released by the Chinese authorities to cover up the top-secret research in the Naval Equipment Research Institute.

Apparently this was also taken into consideration, the pensive chief did not speak, but kept tapping his index finger on the table.

About five minutes later, he relaxed his eyebrows, and slowly leaned back on the chair.

"The possibility of Professor Lu's participation is indeed very low...but I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with him."

The detective's heart moved slightly.

"what do you mean?"

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

"Now we are still not sure whether this is a bait deliberately released by the Hua people, or they have really achieved certain results."

"In any case, getting more intelligence is the key to solving the problem."

"Increase the intelligence staffing in the Jinling area, especially the space shuttle assembly center! I need to know what Lu Zhou is doing there. And the Naval Equipment Research Institute in Shangjing, if they are really working on controllable In the study of fusion miniaturization, we can always find some signs. If you find new clues, no matter how big or small, report to me immediately!"

The detective stood at attention.

"Yes, sir."

Going home during Chinese New Year... I caught a cold as soon as I got home, and it was the same way last time on Eleventh. I felt like I was cursed by my hometown QAQ

The whole person is dizzy, I only coded out one chapter yesterday, I'm sorry QAQ
