Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 372 Planting Muhe on Mars

Zhong Cheng finally asked Zhao Wei and Huang Wen about the current situation of Hongxing University of Technology.

Zhao Wei said excitedly that he has newly established a large number of scientific research project teams in the university, and he plans to let college students apply what they have learned, and they can sign up to join the scientific research team from the fourth year onwards.

He wants to build the world's largest scientific research reserve team.

Zhong Cheng has no objection to this, and the money invested in the university is only a drop in the bucket compared to other projects of Red Star Company.

As long as Zhao Wei is passionate about education, he will be at ease.

Huang Wen reported the normal teaching situation of Red Star University, and also introduced the development progress of the online game "Dream World" currently in the research area of ​​Red Star University.

Lei Yongzhong and Wang Anlin personally worked in the development team and cooperated with the development work led by Liu Zhenquan. The progress is very smooth. It is expected that the internal test will be carried out in the first half of next year, and it will be launched in the second half of the year.

Zhong Cheng felt a little guilty, compared to his two old friends, he cared too little about this online game.

……

After the meeting, Zhong Cheng returned to his office and found Yang Shuzhen sitting behind his desk.

He walked over, pulled up a chair and sat down at the desk.

"Shuzhen, why don't you go to the conference room for a meeting when you're here?"

Yang Shuzhen curled her lips, "Forget it, your company's meeting is smelly and long, so I won't ask for it!"

Zhong Cheng touched the bridge of his nose, "I asked you to go to the meeting to ask you to give me some ideas!"

Yang Shuzhen sneered: "What idea is there? It's just that I'm short of money. You won't ask my opinion on other things!"

"Cough!" Zhong Cheng coughed in embarrassment, "Actually, it's not that I'm short of money, but I'm worried that it will affect the company's progress in entering space."

Yang Shuzhen asked casually, "How much is the difference?"

"10,000+ billion, um, five or six trillion is fine!"

"What?!" Yang Shuzhen was taken aback, "Is the financial situation of Red Star Company so bad now?"

"That's not true. The investment in the space ladder is too large. Then at least three spaceships will be built, Kunlun City and Tiangong City will be built, and the development of Mars will also be carried out. A space ladder will also be built on Mars..."

Yang Shuzhen quickly said: "Stop it, I know, your appetite is too big!"

Zhong Cheng said helplessly: "I can't help it, I wasted ten years before, and I want to make it back!"

Yang Shuzhen sat up straight, put her hands on the desk, and said seriously: "The current capital market is so big, everyone wants to share more, and they are all doing their own unique tricks. You can't expect too much!"

"If you just want to squeeze money from Red Star, AirAsia, and Shanhai Fund, you will definitely lose your vitality. Such a business strategy is the next best thing to do!"

"Then what should we do?" Zhong Cheng smiled wryly, the solutions he came up with were these tricks.

Yang Shuzhen thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"Zhong Cheng, have you forgotten what your Red Star Company does?"

Zhong Cheng replied strangely: "Engage in heavy industry!"

"What heavy industry? Now Red Star Company is an agricultural company. You are the largest and only wood grain producer in the world, with an annual output value of tens of trillions."

Although Yang Shuzhen's words are not pleasant, they are indeed true.

Red Star Land Reclamation Company produces nearly 1 million tons of wood grain a year, and one ton of wood grain is calculated at an average wholesale price of 30 yuan, which has an output value of 30 trillion yuan. This is also the largest source of income and profit for Red Star Company.

However, at the time when the new and old planting areas are changing, half of the income from the new wood grain planting areas will be given to the local federal officials to support the growing population of the earth.

The future profits of wood grain plantation will be greatly reduced, which is also an important reason for the tight funds of Red Star Company.

Yang Shuzhen is aware of this situation, Zhong Cheng doesn't know what is the use of her mentioning this.

Yang Shuzhen smiled and said: "The wood grains on the earth can't make up their minds, but think about it, if you develop Mars, can't you grow wood grains on Mars?"

Zhong Cheng replied: "Well, planting wood grains is an important means for us to transform Mars. Mars has an atmosphere with a carbon dioxide gas content as high as 90.00%. As long as we provide enough water sources, the harsh environment on Mars is actually more suitable. Muhe grows."

"And there is no ocean on Mars, it's all land. The planting area is theoretically equivalent to the total land area of ​​the earth, reaching about 1.5 million square kilometers, which is more than 450 times the size of the Taklimakan Desert."

"If we turn half of the area on Mars into a woodland forest, it will be no problem to support 500 billion humans."

When talking about the development of Mars, Zhong Chengcheng became excited and talked eloquently.

But when he was excited, he remembered the reason why Yang Shuzhen brought up this topic, and he frowned.

"However, it will take at least three years to develop Mars, and at least five years to harvest the first batch of wood grains. By that time, Red Star Company will not be short of money!"

Yang Shuzhen sighed: "You, you only get money when you sell products. You can put these Martian wood grains in the futures market to cash out first!"

Zhong Cheng slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "Yes, agricultural products themselves are the main commodities in the bulk futures trading market. I can indeed sell the Martian Muhe in advance for money."

But then he thought of another problem.

He said worriedly: "However, the risk of planting wood grains on Mars is very high. Mars has no magnetic field, so its surface is completely exposed to the sun's deadly radiation, and it cannot maintain a thick atmosphere. Therefore, before planting wood grains on Mars, To carry out the project of reconstructing the Martian magnetic field, we are not very sure, there are too many unknown factors."

Yang Shuzhen smiled, "I don't care about these technical factors, the futures market itself is established to resist these uncontrollable factors, investors must take risks if they want to make money, otherwise they will go long, short, hedging, and betting against each other. "

"You don't need to worry about these things, leave this matter to me, I will help you deal with it, and I promise you will not be short of money!"

Zhong Cheng smiled, he felt relieved with Yang Shuzhen's words.

"By the way, I'm going to Kunlun City tomorrow, how do you arrange it?"

Yang Shuzhen replied: "I'm going to take Xiaoyue back to Haicheng, and Wenxin and Aili are also going shopping."

"Oh, well, say hello to Lu Yao for me!"

"No, if you want to greet him, ask yourself, he should be going to Kunlun City soon!"

At this time, the voice of the secretary on duty came from the intercom in the office: "Zhong Dong, Assistant Shi, Minister Li and Minister Chen from the Security Department are here!"

Zhong Cheng glanced at Yang Shuzhen, Yang Shuzhen stood up and said, "Then you are busy, I will leave!"

Zhong Cheng smiled and said, "I have nothing to keep secret from you, just listen to it!"

Yang Shuzhen didn't shirk, she walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Shi Hanxing, Li Shaojie, and Chen Yilong came in, Zhong Cheng pointed to the living room, the three walked over, said hello to Yang Shuzhen, and sat down.

Zhong Cheng sat beside Yang Shuzhen, and asked the three of them, "How is the Guminhui doing recently?"

The three of them exchanged glances and were polite, and finally Shi Hanxing came to report.

Recently, the development of the Ancient Minhui has been tepid, and there is nothing special about it.

On the contrary, the investigation of the Mutual Aid Association organized by Zhong Zhongcheng has made a major breakthrough!
