Musk smiled and said, "Dean, let me explain to you."
"Do you know the robotic arm of the space station? According to the latest data we have obtained in four years, the longer the robotic arm is used, the more severe the internal bearing damage will be."
"We will conduct a careful laboratory comparison of related parts and accessories later, and conduct special experiments at the same time. As a result, we found that the internal structure of these bearings in the space environment will change with the number of uses."
"The structure will become very fragile. This was discovered by the Japanese first, and they have already begun research in this area. The bearings used in space are not so simple."
"It happens that there is no such situation on the small bearings of the lunar rover, which is very mysterious and very puzzling."
"I don't know the specific reason. In short, the use of a deformed design in space will greatly shorten the use time of large bearings, and to a certain extent, there will be direct collapse."
"This is also the reason that space launchers rarely use large bearings. The spacecraft we launch now have cancelled the design of large robotic arms."
"Unless this problem is solved, we will not restore this design"
"The deformed spacecraft needs a large cardan shaft, even if it only deforms once, according to the design, the cardan shaft will become brittle and collapse after a period of time."
"This news is still top secret, and outsiders don't even know about this matter" Musk explained, and Dean suddenly realized it.
After listening to the explanation, Dean nodded, and sighed for a long time, "If humans want to go to space, materials are the key."
"You are right. This is where I admire Xu Ping'an. The Tianqi Institute of Advanced Materials is his source of confidence. According to intelligence, he has a new generation of advanced space materials in his hands."
"This time the plan is also a test. If he finds that this problem is solved with a new generation of space materials, it will be good for us."
"No one is more profound in the accumulation of space technology than us. As long as the material problem is solved, space belongs to us. I am 100% sure of this," Musk said very well.
Others also nodded, convinced of this that the United States is far ahead of any country in the world in terms of space technology.
As time passed slowly, Xu Ping An accompanied Isabella and her children for a period of time before returning to China. After a two-day break, they started to work. The first thing was to deal with Sun Wenbin's report.
The dispatched inspectors have already submitted the report. After reading the report, Sun Wenbin was really surprised. He did not expect that marine pollution in the United States had reached this level.
According to a series of data, the pollution source has been linked to the garbage continent, and now the garbage continent is drifting towards the United States every day.
In other words, if the pollution source of the garbage mainland is not solved, the offshore pollution will not be solved. This is a big project, and there is no huge investment in it.
Xu Pingan thought for a while after reading Sun Wenbin's report, picked up the phone and called Sun Wenbin, and the phone was connected quickly.
"Boss" Sun Wenbin said directly.
"I saw the report. You inform the Americans and ask them to send someone who can call the shots over to talk to me about this."
"Tell them clearly that I will take over this matter from now on" Xu Ping'an said directly.
Sun Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief. It is very risky to let himself talk about this matter. Now it is best for Xu Pingan to take the past, "I understand, I will notify them immediately."
Xu Ping An nodded, and after communicating with Sun Wenbin for a while, he hung up the phone. Without suitable conditions, Xu Ping An would not accept this business, and the risk is really not small.
After Sun Wenbin hung up the phone, he immediately found the personnel dispatched by the United States and conveyed Xu Ping'an's meaning. The surroundings were also confused, and he directly took out the phone to report to his superiors.
After receiving a notice two days later, he returned to the country, and another person was dispatched to discuss this matter with Xu Ping An.
On this day, Chen Qingshan came to Xu Ping'an's office. First of all, congratulated Xu Ping'an on his son, and then joked about Xu Ping'an. Then he took a sip of tea and started talking about business.
"Ping'an, my country's coastal water pollution is also serious. Does your Institute of Oceanography also work offshore for a while? The cost is easy to say, and it is done according to the international price" Chen Qingshan said directly, and Xu Pingan was shocked.
"Mayor, why didn't you talk about this earlier? You said earlier that I won't talk to the Americans anymore. Just refuse to transfer people back. Now the U.S. plans to send heavyweights to talk to me about coastal ecological restoration. thing"
"What do you ask me to do, there are so many people" Xu Ping said with an uncomfortable expression.
Chen Qingshan was also shocked. By coincidence, this is not a big deal. Xu Ping'an didn't need to lie. What should I do? How can I recover the relevant departments?
"Can you directly reject the US contract," Chen Qingshan said directly.
"The contract has not been signed yet, but now it has entered the stage of high-level contact and negotiation. I suddenly refused. There must be a disturbance without a reasonable reason," Xu Ping'an said helplessly.
Chen Qingshan nodded. He was very clear about the urinary nature of the United States. Refusing for no reason would definitely not give up. When that time comes, there will be another open fight, which will not benefit both parties.
The two of them stopped talking. After a cup of tea, Xu Ping'an said, "Well, wait three days, and two days later, representatives of the other party will come over to discuss this matter. I analyze the possibility of reaching a deal is not high."
"Because the cost is too big, Americans definitely don't want to spend so much," Xu Ping'an said slowly.
Chen Qingshan froze for a moment, and asked with questions, "Is the offshore marine ecology expensive?"
"It's different over there. The pollution is very serious, because the pollution over there is connected to the garbage continent. If the garbage continent is not solved, the offshore pollution cannot be cured."
"And if you want to solve the garbage mainland, this requires a lot of money. Americans don't necessarily pay for this money." Xu Ping'an explained somewhat.
"Okay, I'll wait a few days here" Chen Qingshan knew.
The garbage continent is so big, it is really not something that can be done with small funds to solve it, there is no need to worry.
The two chatted for a while before Chen Qingshan left. After Xu Ping'an sent Chen Qingshan away, he returned home. They didn't know how to drop it, and couldn't see that the child was missing something.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The commissioners dispatched by relevant American departments had arrived in J City, and Xu Ping'an dispatched vehicles to take Bryant to the office.
Bryant is the second person in charge of the relevant departments. He holds great power and holds the title of Doctor of Oceanography. He knows technology and is the best candidate to come and discuss with Xu Ping An.
While drinking tea, the two began to discuss. Before Xu Pingan listed detailed data, Bryant could not refute it. He knew very well that in order to change the marine ecology, the garbage continent must be resolved.
"Xu, this cost is too big, right?" Bryant's price quoted by Xu Ping'an was very big, $15 billion to solve the garbage mainland problem.
"Everyone is a sensible person, and you are very aware of the hazards of the garbage mainland. I am really not expensive, and I need to invest a lot." Xu Ping An unceremoniously refused the counter-offer.
"It is impossible for China to accept this price. No country will pay for the garbage continent. This is not caused by our own country," Bryant said directly.
"It's up to you. If you can find someone to share the money, it won't be difficult to solve the garbage continent," Xu Ping'an looked at Bryant and said with deep meaning.
Bryant's eyes lit up and said, "You mean...".
"I didn't say anything, I didn't mean anything," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
Bryant smiled and shook his head. When he came, many people had explained to him. Xu Ping'an was very cunning, and he had to be careful and careful. Now it seems that those people really made no mistake.
Xu Pingan’s lion opened his mouth with such an idea. The wicked United States took it. Apocalypse Ocean Research gained reputation and profit. This calculation is really smart.
The two chatted for a while before Bryant left. They will return home tomorrow. There must be news within a week. After returning to the hotel, Bryant quickly wrote a report and sent it away.
Knowing the domestic speed, sending it out one day ahead of schedule would be an extra day, but this time Bryant underestimated the importance of the big guys on the garbage continent.
The next day, before Bryant got on the plane, the report had already reached the table of many big bosses. When Bryant got on the plane, the big bosses began to meet and study.
There is a suggestion in the report that is in line with the opinions of the bigwigs. This is not a matter for the United States. Other countries must also pay for the garbage mainland.
In just one day, a plan came out, that is, this matter cannot be paid by the United States. Everyone is responsible for the formation of the garbage continent and must be shared.
The media first started to act and began to guide public opinion, and things began to slowly ferment.
A few days later, Chen Qingshan looked at the report with constipation. The Chinese Dynasty was no exception. It was also on the list of Americans, and all trade lines to and from the United States were included.
The rubbish continent is caused by sea ships throwing rubbish for many years. The countries to which these ships belong cannot run, and every country must work together to solve this problem.
At the same time, the United Nations must also allocate some funds to manage this garbage continent. The Secretary-General of the United Nations replied simply that you will pay the arrears and then arrange the funds, otherwise, there will be no financial support.
This reply hurts the Americans. You can't refute what they said is justified. A new round of international confrontation begins. This time the Americans are determined to solve this problem.
Xu Ping'an was not in a hurry, and watched the show slowly. This was a matter for a big man. He was a small businessman and never participated.
Chen Qingshan had visited Xu Ping'an, and the two discussed it. Before a decision had been made, Xu Ping'an dispatched a team of people to start data collection offshore and presented a detailed report.
