Chapter 74 Feedback Results
Foreign trade, investment and consumption are the three pillars of China's economy. Consumption is weak. Investment, to put it bluntly, is infrastructure, and the marginal effect is becoming increasingly serious. The power of this carriage is insufficient, and only foreign trade can provide sustained impetus for China's economic development.
So this is an area where we cannot give in. It is the core interest among the core interests. After the virus epidemic is over, China needs to continue to open up to the world. People who are friendly with Musk think that they can use the light armor technology as a display of sincerity.
Hence this conversation.
Still in the conference room of the building where the market supervision department of XH District is located, Chen Yuanguang could feel that the smell in the air had changed slightly from the last time he came, and the surrounding security level had also risen to a higher level.
He guessed that Old Wu and his gang had been stationed here recently.
His state of mind was also completely different from last time. Before, he had more of a student mentality, answering whatever the other party asked, but now he hopes to achieve his own goals through answering.
"You should know that all the core R&D personnel of Light Armor Technology were poached last time. They took away the experimental data and some design plans. The article published by Mayo Clinic in The Lancet is most likely based on our experimental data.
It’s not that they used all our data, but the content pointed them in the direction. They knew which direction to research in and were able to develop this technology.
American scientific research institutions apparently also possess this reverse engineering capability.
The technology has been leaked, it's just a matter of how far behind they are.
I estimate it to be about two years ahead.
I think it is necessary to increase external investors. If we don't seize the global human hibernation market, American companies will. This is a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
We need to introduce external investors and conduct clinical trials in Europe, North America, Africa and more places.
The market is one aspect, but we also need more experimental data and actual data after medical devices are put on the market to provide data support for subsequent research on human hibernation.
We cannot rely solely on the yellow race. The mysteries that may exist between races will allow us to push this technology forward.
So my view is that we should bring in external investors, not necessarily Musk, but he is just one of the options.”
Chen Yuanguang's attitude was very clear, and it was this clear attitude that made Old Wu feel that the young man was full of confidence and was not afraid of challenges at all:
"Aren't you afraid of conducting clinical trials abroad? The Americans will get our equipment and master the technology faster and replicate the product."
Chen Yuanguang narrowed his eyes, "Since last time, our technology has been encrypted.
I don't know if you are clear about the principle of human hibernation technology. It uses ultrasound to stimulate fixed nerve areas. Our equipment uses many kinds of ultrasound combined together to stimulate multiple nerve areas to achieve the effect.
This prevents them from discovering the frequency bands and neural areas that actually work, and at best they can replicate them one-to-one.
We can take further measures later, for example, our people will help them install it. After it is fixed in position, any movement will cause the equipment to fail.
Of course it is impossible to keep it secret forever, but there is no big problem in keeping it secret for a period of time.
Compared with avoiding technology leaks, I think it is more important for us to improve our technology. Nikon's leading position in the field of photolithography has only lasted for less than 20 years. If human hibernation technology remains in China, it will be deciphered sooner or later, and then we will fall behind. "
Old Wu nodded in agreement. "I will report your opinions to you truthfully. Dr. Chen, just wait for the news."
Chen Yuanguang felt that there was one more thing he had to respond to: "Mr. Wu, I also talked with Musk about cooperation in the aerospace field this time.
I hope to try asteroid mining." Old Wu was stunned, because in his opinion, aerospace is not something that private enterprises can handle, and it requires the concentration of national strength to do it.
As for Musk's SpaceX abroad, he certainly knows about it, and he attributes the success of SpaceX to different national conditions.
He felt inwardly that young people nowadays are truly amazing and dare to think and act.
"Okay, I'll report it to my higher-ups," said Old Wu.
Chen Yuanguang continued: “Maybe what I just said was a bit broad.
The way I hope to cooperate is to ship Musk’s reusable rocket to China for launch.”
Old Wu quickly became more sensitive: "There are several issues here. Is Musk willing? Can this product be exported to America? Will it be subject to the restrictions of the Wassenaar Arrangement?"
In fact, what Old Wu was thinking about was not this problem, but the powerful force of the domestic aerospace system.
Asteroid mining involves huge investments. The rocket launches alone account for market share. This market share will not be taken by China Aerospace Industry Corporation, but will be taken by Musk's SpaceX.
The domestic aerospace system will definitely find a way to keep it out.
If Chen Yuanguang can do this, then can other companies with launch needs also do this? Should China still develop its own aerospace industry?
In terms of launch costs, reusable rockets are much lower.
Old Wu naturally felt that this matter would definitely not be approved.
Chen Yuanguang replied: "I will talk to Musk. Reusable rockets are not subject to export controls and can be exported."
Musk has been working on reusable rockets for many years, and everyone is very clear about the principle. In recent years, domestic state-owned enterprises have been developing in this direction, and private aerospace companies are also developing in this direction.
"I will report this to the higher-ups, Dr. Chen. Please wait for the results. There should be news in the next few days."
A week later, before Musk left China, news came from Lao Wu:
"Dr. Chen, Guangjia Technology's introduction of external investors has been approved, no problem.
You can introduce foreign investors according to your own needs. Almost by the end of this year, within half a year, we will remove the technology from the export ban list.
Also, I have good news for you in advance. You can apply for clinical trials in Indonesia first, and they will approve it soon.
Then there is the cooperation with Musk in the field of aerospace. We can cooperate, but currently we need to protect our own aerospace industry. Musk’s reusable rockets are not allowed to be transported to the country for launch.
You can pay more attention to domestic aerospace companies, many of which are making reusable rockets. "
Chen Yuanguang was helpless: "The success rate of those reusable rockets is relatively low, and the payload capacity does not meet my requirements."
