Chapter 894 Construction of Stargate and Electromagnetic Rail Elevator Station
Longfei decided to allocate 60% of the currently available funds to build three electromagnetic track elevators.
The Dion Empire has not built an electromagnetic orbital elevator in the Mars circle. The main reason is that their spaceships, whether for civilian or military purposes, can fly directly out of the atmosphere from the ground.
On the contrary, civilian spacecraft in the colonial and earth circles, and even military warships of some countries, do not have the ability to fly out of the atmosphere from a gravity environment.
At that time, when many national delegations came to attend Long Fei's enthronement ceremony, most of the national delegations landed on Mars on the Tianyi Empire's spaceship.
】
Only spacecraft from some major countries can land on Mars and then fly out of the atmosphere from the ground.
This also made Long Fei discover the problem. If the Tianyi Empire wanted to do trade with the entire world, it would have to have an electromagnetic orbital elevator station just like the Earth Circle.
Because civilian merchant ships from all over the world need to rely on electromagnetic rail elevators to enter and exit.
For the Tianyi Empire's trade and finance, the Tianyi Empire must build an electromagnetic orbital elevator station.
"The remaining 40% of available funds seem to be needed to build marine ports and high-speed rail equipment."
"Everything requires money. To restore the Mars circle to normal trade and economic levels within one or two years is undoubtedly nonsense. In addition to money, time, human and material resources are also important."
"The biggest problem in the Mars circle now is the serious lack of population. There are 320 million people. For some colonial countries, the population base is very large, but for a habitable planet, the population is small."
Long Fei then looked at the documents. The current per capita income of people in the Tianyi Empire is much lower than that of the previous dynasty, only about 1/3 of that of the previous dynasty.
"In terms of GDP, we need to find ways to increase per capita income. The higher the per capita income, the richer the people, the more taxes they will pay. The more tax revenue we get, the better the country will be able to build."
"This empire that I created, and the group of companies that I created, no matter which side, I can't leave a mess to my heirs."
After speaking, Long Fei twisted his neck and stretched his waist. He was really tired.
At this time Taoxiang walked into Long Fei's office, holding a bowl of ginseng soup cooked for her husband in both hands. Her husband has been very busy recently.
Tao Xiang also tries her best to help her husband share his worries at work. He often works late into the night and even sleeps in the office.
"I made the ginseng soup for you. Drink it to refresh yourself."
"Yeah." Long Fei blew, and then drank the ginseng soup his wife made for him.
Tao Xiang stretched out her hands to massage her husband's shoulders, and then said while massaging: "Tomorrow is December 15th, your son's first birthday. Please take the time to celebrate with your son."
"Okay." Long Fei knew that he had been working and fighting for long hours and had not been able to spare much time to spend with his wife and children.
His son Long Quan doesn't get close to him very much, and Long Fei also knows that if he continues, his relationship with his son will become very cold.
Long Feike remembered that his son, who was almost one year old now, called him mother, sister, aunt very affectionately, and called him father in a somewhat stiff voice.
Even Long Quan was a little reluctant to let him hold her.
Taoxiang saw a design on Long Fei's desk and asked, "Isn't this a star gate that only appears in science fiction movies?"
"It is indeed a star gate. I plan to build two. One is in the Mars circle and the other is in the Mercenary Sub-base No. 0. In this way, the time and cost of trade transportation can be shortened. Of course, this is theoretically said, but it also depends on the actual situation.
How is it working?”
Tao Xiang asked: "The problem is that even if you need to build two star gates, it will cost a lot of money. Can the funds allow it?"
"The Star Gate cannot be built in one or two years. We are currently using some available funds to build the front part first, and in the next few years, we will allocate funds for the required stages of construction."
"How many years will it take to build?"
"The Tianyi Empire currently has no problem with its material resources, but in terms of manpower, the most optimistic view is that it will take five years, not to mention that all the manpower is currently invested in other constructions. The manpower required to build the star gate is seriously insufficient.
Completing the construction of two star gates in 2018 has exceeded our expectations."
"However, those automated machines and Harrow-controlled equipment can replace a lot of manpower and shorten the construction time."
"I have taken into account everything you mentioned, but many details require manpower to adjust. These large projects cannot be completed in one year. To be honest, the construction plans I am doing now take five years to complete.
Ten-year engineering plan.”
"..." Tao Xiang did not continue to speak, because she did not know much about the construction of the country, and continued to massage her husband with her hands.
Long Fei continued: "Now the primary construction equipment, ground construction equipment is the top priority, even more important than building electromagnetic rail elevator stations, because these equipment are the most important equipment for the people, at least high-speed rail and ocean ports.
It is needed by local enterprises and the people, and at least it can enter domestic trade, domestic demand and flows."
"Husband, it seems that you are not only strong in research and development, but also great in business, and even in running a country."
"No, I'm pretty good at this kind of economic and business stuff. When the time comes when you want to use political means like that, I'm just a layman."
Long Fei looked at the star gate design and decided to allocate 5% of the available funds to the star gate as the funds needed for the construction of the star gate.
…
On December 15th, Long Quan’s birthday, ministers from various departments took their wives and children to wish the little prince Long Quan a happy birthday.
As a father, Long Fei will definitely attend his son's birthday party.
Long Quan's smart eyes looked at his father in front of him. With his own powerful new human ability, he did not need any verbal communication with his father. With spiritual communication, both father and son could understand each other.
Long Fei took Long Quan from his wife's hand and hugged Long Quan.
I see my son becoming more and more like me.
Longquan’s birthday cake was also a chocolate mousse cake made for him by his mother.
Long Fei looked at the chocolate mousse cake and remembered the chocolate mousse cake Tao Xiang made for him. It was also the year the two established their relationship.
Then everyone sang happy birthday to Long Quan, and then Long Quan blew out the candles with his small mouth. Unfortunately, Long Quan was still a baby and couldn't blow out the candle flame at all.
Finally, dad and mom blew candles for Longquan.
Every minister sent a birthday gift to Prince Longquan.
Those piles of birthday gifts did not attract much interest or attention from Long Quan. Instead, Long Quan looked left and right at the surrounding environment and everyone present.
Long Quan discovered that among the people present, none of the new humans had the same spiritual power as his father, and there were even many people whose mental power was not as good as that of his mother.
"I want my mother to hold me." Long Fei sensed the mental fluctuations of his son in his hands.
Taoxiang, who was standing next to Long Fei, also sensed her son's mental fluctuations. Taoxiang immediately took her son from her husband's hand.
Soon Long Quan fell asleep in his mother's arms, and Tao Xiang left the scene and carried her son to his bedroom.
