Deep Space Fleet

Zhang Yuan thought for two seconds, then took the microphone from the host. He suddenly felt that there were actually not so many conspiracy theories.

The blond girl was lovely, and she probably really thought so, asking the question.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yuan said unhurriedly, "Ma'am, there is a concept that you may be mistaken."

"Every year, the poverty alleviation funds allocated by the government and various charitable organizations are about tens of billions. They are real money, property donated by people from all over the world. These kind-hearted people sacrifice their own interests to help others. It is indeed great."

"But the 167 trillion created by the aerospace industry every year is the gross product value, not real money, and it does not belong to the Deep Space Foundation, but is created by 43 million space workers and 2.2 billion laborers on the surface Collective wealth involves 273 large and small industries..."

"If there is no GDP of 167 trillion, I think there will be more than two billion poor people on the earth. Everyone will live in a worse life..."

"Therefore, the amount of donations for poverty alleviation and the gross domestic product should not be confused."

"As for the question you asked, I can answer it like this: the aerospace industry is equivalent to making a big cake; and donating to the poor is just a redistribution of the cake. I am more inclined to the concept of 'making a big cake', so Donate the money to the Deep Space Foundation..."

The people in the audience are listening carefully.

Zhang Yuan spoke neither fast nor slow, with clear logic, as if all the drafts had already been typed.

Wang Lili and Xu Yunjing had already discussed in low voices: "I didn't expect him to be so talkative. He's usually quite shy."

"It might be fake!"

"Haha, this is Zhang Yuan's true face!"

Zhang Yuan continued: "...Why did I choose this way?"

"Ms. Angelica, I don't know if you have ever boarded a space elevator or seen the entire solar system with your own eyes. If you have really seen the vastness of space, you will understand that the cake of aerospace is really amazing. It is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times bigger than you imagined!"

"As long as this cake is made well, it can feed hundreds of billions, or even trillions of people!"

"The poverty alleviation you mentioned is nothing more than a small problem."

"but……"

"It is frighteningly difficult to eat this piece of cake. Tens of billions is just a drop in the bucket, and a hundred billions is just a drop in the bucket. The space elevator behind us, the first of mankind, has used trillions of funds, enough 20 years of construction time!"

"...No private capital has such determination and strength to spend decades to build a 36,000-kilometer space elevator that does not seem to have any output. Only non-profit organizations like the Deep Space Foundation... "

"If, a hundred years ago, there was no investment in this space elevator and the generous donations of those idealists, I think we might still be confined to a small earth and live in general poverty. Even with a controllable nuclear Fusion, but still poor."

"That's why I donated the prize money my father won to the foundation. Although it's just a drop in the bucket, it's still my wish..."

"We need more like-minded people to make a bigger piece of cake together so that more people can enjoy the benefits."

"As for the problem of poverty alleviation you mentioned, it is not unimportant. I agree with your philosophy and appreciate your fraternity. But there is an old saying in our country of Xia: It is better to teach people to fish than to give them money. Simply give them money and give them money. Their food will only raise a group of lazy people, and there will be no essential progress."

"...I think that only through education can their lives be changed. As for this aspect, the Deep Space Foundation has a charitable department for online education. It wants to popularize education through remote networks. I won't say much here Yes. If you are interested, you can go and find out.”

"Thanks!"

A more enthusiastic applause rang out.

Zhang Yuan's answer was very tactful and sophisticated, impeccable from any angle.

The blond reporter could only open his mouth and was speechless.

Although she herself was not convinced, the audience was, and that was enough.

"Professor Wang, Zhang Qiming's son is pretty good, and he can talk." Liu Yi, the vice chairman of the foundation, said happily, "It's as if we arranged it specially."

"The son of a scientist like him has donated 10 million yuan, and those local bosses will definitely bleed!"

Wang Zhong smiled "hehe" and didn't speak, but it was hard to hide the pride in his heart.

Praising his disciples and grandchildren is much more enjoyable than praising him himself.

The Deep Space Foundation is a behemoth, not only has strong political influence and scientific and technological strength, but also has a large number of shares in the aerospace industry and space elevators. For those capitalists, cooperating with the foundation is a very win-win thing.

Of course, if you want a win-win situation, you have to let the Foundation take a fancy to it first...

Anyway, donate a little money first.

After all the awards were awarded, the winners took a group photo on stage, followed by various cultural performances and donation activities.

Zhang Yuan stepped off the stage and sat quietly in his seat.

Professor Wang patted him lightly and gave him an encouraging look.

"Professor Wang, did I say something wrong?"

"That's pretty good!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Professor Wang Zhong looked at the capitalists who came to the stage to donate, and he secretly sighed in his heart: "If Mr. Qi Yuanshan can see this scene, he will be very pleased."

All the prosperity of the world is for profit, even if these capitalists are only for profit and not for "ideal", it is a very good virtuous circle.

Adding icing on the cake is easy, but sending charcoal in the snow is as difficult as reaching the sky. Those difficult days were already a story a hundred years ago, and Wang Zhong was not even born.

Qi Yuanshan, known as "Einstein in materials science", is a real giant of materials science.

The three most outstanding achievements in his life, one is "high magnetic saturation superconducting materials", the second is "mass production method of carbon nanotubes"; and the third, of course, is some sociological content of the New Civilization School.

Why is controllable nuclear fusion difficult? There are many reasons, such as neutron radiation, triple product, and a very important point - the magnetic field confinement is not strong enough.

The magnetic field confinement must be strong enough to confine the raging plasma and make the circulator fusion reaction stable and last longer.

But in order to have a large enough magnetic field, it is not just to increase the current.

There is a "magnetic saturation" phenomenon in materials science. When the applied current and coil density reach a certain size, the magnetic field will not increase further.

Anyway, no matter how you do it, the magnetic field is only so small, and the rest is up to you.

The magnetic field confinement has reached the limit, but it is still not strong enough to restrain the plasma, which has become an almost unsolvable problem.

And Professor Qi Yuanshan's breakthrough "high magnetic saturation superconducting material" simply and rudely increased the original magnetic field strength by a full 10 times!

10 times!

As a result, the violent plasma was obediently restrained, and many problems were no longer a problem. The "controllable nuclear fusion technology" was long overdue and finally appeared in the world.

In that era when there was no oil and energy was scarce, Professor Qi's reputation naturally flourished, and he was called the "father of nuclear fusion".

The second major achievement is the mature carbon nanotube production technology, which makes carbon nanotubes very cheap. The tensile strength of this material is more than 100 times that of steel, and the density is only 0.03 grams per cubic centimeter, making it an excellent building material.

Such a scientific giant, whose influence extends to modern times, is an admirer of many scientists.

However, at that time, Professor Qi's "Construction Plan for a Space Elevator" was rejected by the government.

Because the investment was too big, it was too big for Xia Guo, who had just recovered from the energy crisis, to accept it...

...

As for what happened later, so that the government's attitude changed dramatically, Wang Zhong didn't know either.

He only knew that the construction of the space elevator was on schedule, and it was almost completed when he was born.

Xia Guo gambled on the national fortune for 20 years, and finally gambled on a bright future!

This period of the past, until now, is often talked about by historians.

A country's development, step by step, step by step.

So is a civilization.

Without that brave step, the earth may not have a space elevator until now, and there will be no beautiful present.
