On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the work of the new year officially begins.
The entire Ningcheng County was immersed in the sound of firecrackers and fireworks.
Benefiting from the policies of Xinghai Technology, a large number of companies have settled in Ningcheng County, injecting strong impetus into this land. High-tech enterprises represented by Xinghai Technology and a large number of aircraft manufacturing supporting industries have made the entire Ningcheng County
The development directly got on the rocket and took off on the spot.
A few years ago, an ordinary county with only a few hundred thousand people originally had a population of several hundred thousand. In just a few years, the resident population of the entire Ningcheng County has exceeded the 10 million mark. The number of employees of Xinghai Technology alone is more than that of Ningcheng.
More than 500,000 people work here.
The population is growing extremely rapidly, causing land and housing prices in Ningcheng County to rise like a rocket.
Real estate is in a cold winter all over the country, but the real estate development here is extremely rapid and hot. The price has exceeded 30,000 per square meter, but it is still very popular.
There is no way, the employees of Xinghai Technology alone are the most powerful buyers, and they can buy a large amount in one sweep.
Fortunately, with the large-scale popularization of aircraft, the growth of the permanent population in Ningcheng County has finally gradually slowed down, and has even begun to decrease, and housing prices have also begun to fall.
If you have an aircraft, you will have a lot of choices about where to live and where you feel comfortable.
In addition to the rapidly expanding permanent population, Ningcheng County's economy is also advancing by leaps and bounds. It has already secured its position as the most economically powerful county, and is now discussing whether to upgrade it to Ningcheng City.
The GDP of a county exceeds 25 trillion yuan, accounting for more than one-tenth of the total. If such a county is not upgraded to a city, it will always be a bit unreasonable. After all, even the Demon City is bigger than the city.
Don't get on it.
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is also the busiest day in the entire Ningcheng County.
Early on, the aircraft in the sky were like locusts, wave after wave, batch after batch, the sky was full of aircraft, flying towards here from all directions.
Everywhere in the industrial zone, firecrackers and fireworks resounded in the sky to celebrate the start of the new year. I hope this year will be another good year.
Here at Xinghai Technology, Liu Yuan is handing out red envelopes to everyone here at the Xinghai Technology Research Institute. It is a tradition to receive red envelopes on the eighth day of the lunar month, and it is also an opportunity for employees and their bosses to get to know each other.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of employees is increasing. Liu Yuan cannot give out red envelopes to all employees, but he still needs to give one to the researchers' employees.
“Boss, get rich in the New Year!”
“Get rich in the new year, get rich in the new year!”
"Happy New Year, boss!"
"Happy New Year!"
"Can the boss take a photo with you?"
"of course!"
Liu Yuan had a smile on his face, and there were still many people asking for photos with Liu Yuan, especially female employees, who almost always wanted to take photos with Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan is constantly handing out red envelopes. The secretaries and assistants in Liu Yuan's office next to him are sweating profusely. There are a bunch of tickets next to them. They need to keep stuffing each piece of Grandpa Hong into the red envelope.
.
The red envelope is not big, it is just for good luck.
The whole time he went up was spent handing out red envelopes. By the end, Liu Yuan was very tired, but looking at the long queue and the expectations of the employees, he finally insisted on giving them out to the last employee who came.
"So tired, so tired!"
Liu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. Fortunately, it was a day worthy of joy, and the new year's struggle had begun.
In the afternoon, Liu Yuan held the first meeting of the new year in a large conference room of Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute, and all the company's top management were present.
Lu Yong, Tang Xiaohui, Yi Han, Weng Yiyang, Xie Xin, He Qiang, Wu Dan, Tang Peng, Wang Chen, Sun Zilong, Xu Yunpeng, Zhou Tong, Li Chun, Jiang Wannian, Song Cang, Wan Hanrui, etc.
All present.
The scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, and the management is becoming more and more standardized. There are dozens of levels of employees. Of course, they are divided into two categories: ordinary management employees and scientific and technological engineering employees. The levels and benefits of the latter are generally common.
Higher and better than the former.
"The new year has begun!"
Liu Yuan glanced around. The team was getting bigger and bigger, and the responsibilities and burdens on him were getting bigger and bigger. Thinking about the more than 2 million employees behind his company and the families of tens of millions of people behind him, this was a huge task.
Responsibility.
"We will continue to move forward towards our dreams. Does everyone still remember what our dream is for Xinghai Technology?"
"Of course I remember, the sea of stars!"
Everyone replied in unison.
If other companies were talking about the sea of stars, they would definitely be laughed to death, but Xinghai Technology is different. It uses its actual actions to tell everyone step by step that Xinghai Technology is really moving towards the sea of stars.
As we move forward, one piece of black technology is coming out one after another.
The employees of Xinghai Technology, especially the high-level management, all believe that one day they can go to the sea of stars. Making money is just a side effect of Xinghai Technology. The purpose of making money is to go to the sea of stars.
"Um!"
Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
I have been flying the banner of Stars and Sea from the beginning, and I have been working hard. I have always been different from ordinary companies. I rarely mention performance. The company's performance is what Lu Yong should be concerned about, and Liu Yuan is concerned about it.
It's a matter of technological development.
"We will start to do three things this year. The first is to start research on controllable nuclear fusion, and strive to master controllable nuclear fusion technology in the next three years to provide powerful power and energy for interstellar spacecraft."
Liu Yuan didn't waste any time and directly started to arrange the two major things to be done this year.
When it comes to controllable nuclear fusion technology, it is not surprising to senior executives from many research institutes, because the institute has been studying warp engine technology for a long time, and the theoretical research has now reached a certain stage.
This involves an extremely critical thing - energy issues.
The energy consumed by the warp engine is very large. The only things scientists can think of are nuclear fusion and antimatter. Antimatter is obviously impossible, because antimatter is still in the theoretical stage at present, and only nuclear fusion technology is the most promising.
Although there are many problems that need to be solved in controllable nuclear fusion, and the most difficult problem is the problem of high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees, scientists have proposed many solutions as early as decades ago.
For example, scientists have proposed two theoretical methods to solve this problem, laser confinement and magnetic confinement. In addition, some scientists have also proposed the idea of cold nuclear fusion.
The so-called cold nuclear fusion, as the name suggests, means that nuclear fusion occurs at room temperature or at lower temperatures. This idea also has its scientific basis.
Generally speaking, controllable nuclear fusion technology is a relatively promising technology that can be researched at present.
The launch of research on controllable nuclear fusion technology is also expected by everyone. Liu Yuan also mentioned this last year at the New Year's meeting.
"The second thing is to carry out research and manufacturing of interstellar spacecraft, develop the space industry in space, and manufacture medium and large interstellar spacecraft."
When Liu Yuan talked about the second thing, it was not unexpected.
The current spacecraft is still too small. Even if it is a space carrier, it is actually very small. It can only carry a few thousand people to the top of the sky.
In this interstellar universe, ships of this level are generally called small spaceships.
Of course, it can only be called a few people or a dozen people. This kind of thing with dozens of people is a micro spaceship or a private spaceship.
To carry out interstellar space navigation, at the very least, a medium-sized spacecraft must be prepared.
The definitions of medium-sized spaceships vary. Some are based on mass, some are based on length, and some are based on the number of people or cargo that can be carried at one time. There are various standards, but in general, generally speaking, medium-sized spaceships
The length will be more than 1,000 meters, which is 1 kilometer, and the width and height will be at least several hundred meters. It can carry more than 100,000 people for interstellar migration at a time.
Only such a spacecraft can be called a medium-sized spacecraft.
Of course, in addition to being large, there are also other technological requirements. For example, generally medium-sized spacecraft will have gravity generating devices to ensure the health of the people on board during long-term interstellar spaceflights.
In addition, if the development of energy technology is sufficient, it will be required to install energy shields to provide safety protection. Of course, ordinary level 3 cosmic civilizations cannot master energy shield technology. Only civilizations above level 4 can master such powerful technology.
.
Energy attack technology is considered a low-maintenance technology in the universe. Even a level 1 home star civilization can master laser weapons, which is considered the simplest energy technology.
But ability shield technology is a high-end technology. Whether or not you master this technology often determines the fate of a problem.
In the future, to develop on outer planets, it is natural to bring more people there. Medium-sized spaceships must be built to carry more than 100,000 people there at one time. After all, communication between interstellar universes is not an easy thing. Even if it is
Even with a warp engine, the amount of energy consumed during travel is also huge.
Medium and large spacecraft must be researched and manufactured, and this is also the basis for establishing a foothold in the interstellar universe in the future.
The interstellar universe is a cruel dark forest. The truth is only within the range of a cannon. With powerful technology, wars between civilizations often become extremely cruel. If you do not have strong strength, once you are exposed, you may be someone else's meal.
.
Powerful space battleships are the most powerful guardians and attackers of a civilization, and they are also something that must be studied and developed.
The bigger the space battleship is, the stronger its deterrence will be!
PS: What do you think the universe will be like? A dark forest? Is it harmonious and friendly, or is it isolated from each other?
