The stars have changed, and in a blink of an eye, we have arrived in 2031.
At this time, Li Yuan had not appeared in public for a long time, and even his account on U2 had not been updated for a long time. It seemed that he had been out of the public eye for a long time.
Compared with Musk, another world-class rich man who is frequently on the hot search list, Li Yuan seems to have lost the vigor of his early years.
A large number of rich people have also emerged in the country, creating scenes of wealth creation myths. On the contrary, Li Yuan, who has always been the richest man in the country and the richest man in the world, has been able to hold this position for a long time, and his wealth is still far ahead.
It gives people a kind of aesthetic fatigue, just mentioning it once or twice occasionally.
Of course, the high-tech companies under Li Yuan are still very impressive, frequently impressing people and launching some high-tech products.
Most recently, Qinglong Motors' latest Split Sports Car has become popular all over the world with its cool appearance and driverless assistance system.
In addition, the newly developed sodium battery has been put into the market and is widely used in the field of automobile batteries due to its low price and sufficient raw materials. In the field of ships, experimental models of small and medium-sized ships have also appeared.
Due to the huge price advantage, the price of electric vehicles has dropped by about a quarter again, and traditional fuel vehicles have been losing ground.
In addition, lithium batteries with high energy storage efficiency are also used in the aviation field.
The latest unicorn company under Li Yuan is Xianhe Aircraft Manufacturing Company. They have developed a 12-seat passenger and cargo small aircraft and are undergoing test flights...
In fact, in daily life, Li Yuan's core enterprises are still in full bloom...
…
The latest hot news is a large-scale scientific experiment to explore the universe.
The global media seemed to have been given a shot of blood. They all flew to the launch base in Hainan Province to witness this grand event with their own eyes...
In a corridor of the launch base, a middle-aged man with gentle eyes looked at a young woman eating.
"Yuyu, don't worry, your grandma has cooked a lot for you. I see you are so greedy."
There is no other way. After giving birth to a lot of boys, I only have one daughter. If I don’t treasure her, who else can I treasure?
Yuyu ate and shook his head: "Dad, just keep the others! I have someone here who will destroy them."
"Huh?" Li Yuan felt a pain in his heart and felt bad.
Yuyu rolled her eyes: "What's the matter? Grandma has agreed. Do you dare to disagree?"
"When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
"Hey! I don't believe it. My mother never told you."
"I know nothing about this old lady, she just has a soft ear."
"Hehe, then you agreed? When the launch is over, we will treat you to dinner. Hehe."
"Eh? Why did I agree?"
"I just agreed." Yuyu hugged Li Yuan's arm and shook her head coquettishly, "You must have a better attitude and don't scare people? Hehehehe!"
"..."
Damn it! Li Yuan felt very bad. Which cocky pig had gnawed away the little cabbage? His hands felt very itchy? Should he gather all those stupid sons and give that boy a meeting gift?
But having said that, none of those silly boys live up to their expectations. They eat, drink, have fun, and manage certain industries of their own. How many of them are still hanging around in the flowers? How can they be as shameless as their father?
Only this girl in front of me has been clever and clever since she was a child, and her academic performance is also very good. Now she has become a doctoral technician of the space agency.
It’s really frustrating!
Only this little cotton-padded jacket has inherited his scientific research genes. I didn’t expect that he would fly away now!
…
"Mr. Li, the press conference will start in ten minutes. You need to prepare." A staff member from the base came to inform.
Li Yuan left Yuyu reluctantly and entered the press conference with the staff.
As soon as he appeared, Li Yuan attracted everyone's attention. The discussion became louder and louder, and then there was a "boom" and the whole place was shocked.
Because someone finally recalled that this was the richest man in the world who had heard his name for a long time but had never seen him in person. He had created countless technological myths. Unexpectedly, on an occasion like today, he was finally willing to appear.
"Mr. Li, are you here too today?"
"Mr. Li, can you answer a few questions for us?"
"Young Master Yuan, we all miss you very much, don't we?"
"..."
The whole audience roared with laughter. Although Li Yuan was well-maintained and looked like a successful man in his prime, his real age was already in his fifties or sixties. How could he not be related to "Yuan Shao"?
This should be an old reporter who still has ancient memories of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan smiled and said hello: "Everyone, it hasn't started yet. I will have enough time to answer your questions later. Haha."
Li Yuan is quite proud. Unexpectedly, there is still a legend about me as "Brother Yuan" in the world.
Not long after, the press conference was held on time:
"...Welcome friends from all over the world. Today is the launch day of the Kuafu-4 spacecraft, which will raise a data box to one ten thousandth of the speed of light..."
"...Hello friends and comrades. In the exploration of the universe, this is a milestone experimental project. It will challenge the ultra-high speed that humans have never reached, and conduct a series of related experiments... We believe that in the future
Humanity will definitely embark on a journey to conquer the universe and design more advanced spaceships. But everything must start from the basics, including the challenge of speed..."
"...That's true. We are not one rocket, but a group of rockets. We use a relay method to continuously improve the experimental box, which is the data box named Meteor 1. I have brought Meteor 1 here.
The model of the No. 1 is just this big, and we use rockets to continuously accelerate it..."
"..."
This is the Kuafu Space Program. One of the major scientific research projects sponsored by Li Yuan. It is also one of the most ambitious plans in human history. You can even be bolder and directly remove the "one".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the beginning of theoretical research, to the first three experimental launches, and by the time of the fourth formal experiment, nearly 40 years have passed, and the scientific research funds spent
It has already exceeded one trillion. And almost all of these donations came from Li Yuan.
During this long-term research, we also faced countless problems. The number of special scientific research projects alone reached 1,347. We also mobilized almost all domestic scientific research institutions, and also united with many foreign scientists. All
The total number of scientific researchers has also reached more than 32,000.
It should be said that this has become a general mobilization of all mankind.
At this time, there was a white-haired old man on the stage. He was introducing the entire launch plan with great interest. Seventeen rockets with super thrust would be launched from domestic and foreign space launch sites successively. And they would be continuously docked and boosted.
Give the main rocket greater acceleration.
And through the planets along the way and the gravitational bow of the sun, the acceleration is further increased until the speed reaches one ten thousandth of the speed of light...
And there are so many super large rockets just to launch a metal square box with a weight of 3.2 kilograms, a length, width and height of no more than 15 centimeters, and containing the simplest instruments, into the universe...
As for the probability of success? Only God knows. The launch destination? God knows.
Anyway, let’s just launch it and let this Kuafu be romantic for a while.
The completion time of the entire plan is estimated to be more than 2349 Earth days, which is about seven and a half years.
…
Finally, after others finished their introductions, it was the reporter's turn to ask questions.
The first few questions must have been assigned to the official media and several major international news agencies. The questions asked were quite satisfactory, and the answers were also quite satisfactory. But once it was time for free questioning, all the reporters became enthusiastic.
"Excuse me, is this gentleman standing next to me Mr. Li Yuan, the richest man in the world? What is his relationship with the Kuafu Project? Why is he at today's launch site?"
Li Yuan did not answer, but introduced the project leader of the Kuafu Project: "Hello, this lady. Judging from your age, you probably don't know that Mr. Li Yuan was the first to propose the Kuafu Project and took the initiative to fund it.
Theoretical research, including later donating a lot of scientific research funds. In addition, he and his scientific research team also solved many technical problems for the Kuafu Project. Therefore, in this project, Mr. Li Yuan is one of the people who contributed the most
.”
When he later made several large donations, Li Yuan no longer needed such a big reputation. Therefore, through negotiation, Li Yuan's title of "personal sponsor" was no longer used in future external publicity.
Mainly to keep a low profile!
Sure enough, after so many years, very few people can remember that incident. The reporters present were immediately interested:
"Mr. Li, I didn't expect that you are still doing research on the aerospace industry? And you have given a lot of sponsorship. May I ask, for what purpose did you become interested in this project?"
"There is no purpose." Li Yuan answered without the slightest pause. He smiled, "I was very interested at the time and wanted to challenge the speed of light. Even if it cannot reach the speed of light, it would be pretty good if it can be as close as possible to this speed. So I
So I chose 1% of the speed of light. And today’s one-ten thousandth of the speed of light is nothing more than a small step in the entire Kuafu plan.”
"Ah?" The whole audience exclaimed. Those reporters didn't expect that there was such a background.
"Is it possible to achieve one percent of the speed of light?"
"Haha. I'm not an expert in this field. At that time, it was entrusted to the theoretical research project team of Beijing University. Unfortunately, those teachers have passed away. But through theoretical calculations, we humans should be able to achieve it. Especially through them
According to theoretical calculations, our super large rocket uses an engine with the latest principles. It also solves other problems such as fuel."
"Mr. Li, are you doing this just for your own interests?"
"What? Don't you believe it? If anyone knows my experience, they should know that everything I do comes from hobbies. I have never considered financial returns."
"Is it just a way to make money?"
Li Yuan laughed: "You're right, you just make money on the way. I won't repeat what I said before. What I want to say is that the driving force for human progress is to constantly challenge yourself. There is also a lot of interest in it.
One of the factors.”
"Mr. Li, do you think this Kuafu plan will succeed?"
"It will definitely succeed. It's either the Kuafu plan or some other plan. Because all mankind is constantly climbing the peak of science. So it's not about success or failure, but whether the problem can be discovered and solved."
"So what do you mean...? Is it possible to fail?"
Li Yuan laughed: "You misinterpreted what I meant. We have made a lot of preparations in advance and spent countless efforts. Of course we hope to succeed. Otherwise, what I say here will become evidence of crime. That is the public enemy of all mankind.
ah?"
The whole audience burst into laughter. Another reporter asked: "Mr. Li, I heard that you used to be called 'Yuan Shao', and there was also 'Brother Yuan' at the front. Brother Yuan was famous for his talk back then. By the way,
Would you like to say a few words during today's opportunity?"
Amidst the laughter, Li Yuan nodded: "At this important moment, let's not say any dirty talk, right? Otherwise, it will appear undignified."
The whole audience burst into laughter.
Li Yuan continued: "Just say a few words! Our pursuit of science is unstoppable. The journey to explore the universe is endless. If you are interested in these, why not do it yourself? Get started! Let's take action
!”
"..."
The audience burst into thunderous applause...
…
Through the high-magnification telescope, Li Yuan and a group of guests stood on the viewing platform, waiting for the rocket to launch.
The countdown has begun: "Ten, nine, eight...four, three, two, one, ignite!"
Although the latest models of engines no longer have the ignition process, some things still retain the original tradition.
In just a few dozen seconds, the rocket disappeared in the sky, and the launch attitude of the rocket could only be seen on the large surveillance screen.
The launch was successful, and there were applause and cheers from all around.
Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, many people hugged each other excitedly and congratulated each other:
"Mr. Li, do you think it will succeed in the end?" Someone came forward excitedly and asked.
After all, the whole process takes seven and a half years. Who knows which link has been omitted? Now it is just the successful launch of the first rocket.
Li Yuan smiled and pointed to the red folding chair behind him: "With such a magical item, success is guaranteed!"
Someone on the side joked: "I saw striped plastic sheet just now."
Everyone laughed, they all knew the joke, the cute dragon was so corny.
And it hasn’t changed in ten thousand years, and it’s still using red folding chairs and striped plastic sheets? It’s hard to buy them in stores now, right?
Looking at the sky, Li Yuan's heart is surging. This time he was reborn, he has changed the world a lot, and he will definitely change more in his lifetime. What he uses is the power of technology, just like that rocket, so ambitious
exuberant!
In the breeze, Li Yuan raised his head. He smiled...
