"If someone wants to work in Qilin Group, I believe a replacement for you will appear soon.

Kirin Group is a commercial company, not a state management research institute, and it is not the kind of unit that can fish, so please work hard.

Because Kirin Group is not a charity and will not support idle people, I hope everyone can work together and work well.

This is not the emperor's harem, and no one is allowed to engage in palace drama.

Everyone who is engaged in aerospace should know how much money will be lost if a launch fails.

If anyone dares to cause harm to my place, I will definitely send him to squat there for the rest of his life."

Cao Mang's words immediately cheered up everyone present.

Emma.

Working part time?

The kind that goes to jail.

"Did you hear everything clearly?" Cao Mang asked loudly.

"Listen clearly." Everyone replied loudly without any hesitation.

This boss is really terrible.

A complete tyrant.

"Next, I will arrange two projects for you.

The first is the recyclable rocket project.

I believe everyone here knows that fuel only accounts for 1% of the cost of a rocket, and 99% of the total value will be thrown away after being used once.

If the rocket can be recycled and launched repeatedly, even if it requires a lot of maintenance after recycling, it can reduce a lot of costs.

You will have five years to complete this project.

In the next three years, the company will provide you with R&D funds of 300 million each year.

I hope you can use every penny wisely, and I hope you will not do too much ineffective research.

Don't spend a whole year's research and development expenses in half a year.

My money is not brought by strong winds.

If you cannot deliver a good result, I can only choose to expel everyone here collectively.

Rather than letting you spend money indiscriminately, it is better to donate the money." Cao Mang was extremely serious when he said the last few words.

Three hundred million R&D funds a year, is this a lot or a little?

Musk’s early investment in SpaceX was only US$160 million.

This money took six years to spend, from 2002 to 2008, with an average cost of 300 million per year.

These costs also include labor costs. You must know that labor abroad is very expensive.

Cao Mang's money was only for research and did not include labor costs.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard about the 300 million research fee.

I still wanted to discuss it.

But thinking of Cao Mang's fierce look, he chose to remain silent.

"Do you have the confidence to complete this task?" Cao Mang asked.

have?

No.

No one dared to answer Cao Mang.

At this time Zhang Yuqian raised his hand.

"Comrade, tell me." Cao Mang looked at Zhang Yuqian and said.

"Mr. Cao, this development time is too short, it will take at least five years, because rocket recovery technology is very difficult.

It takes a lot of time just to calculate various data, and it also takes a lot of time to check these data.

if you can.

Ask Mr. Cao to divide the three-year expenses into five years and distribute them.

As for salary.

Mr. Cao can also divide our three-year salary into five years and pay it out.

If we can complete this task within five years, I believe Cao Mang will not treat us badly, right?" Zhang Yuqian replied loudly.

Especially his last sentence was very loud, because this sentence was not meant for Cao Mang.

This sentence was addressed to the researchers present.

Why do you say that?

Because everyone in China knows that Qilin will not treat any employee badly.

"The slowness in calculating data is because the equipment you originally used is not good enough. If I provide you with a supercomputer that can calculate nine quadrillion calculations per second.

If you need to develop related model software, I can also arrange for you to develop a team of thousands of people.

In any case, this project must be completed within three years, otherwise I can only choose to abandon this research and development project.

If everyone has no confidence, this project will end here, and your severance package will not be less than one penny." Cao Mang asked.

Musk's SpaceX successfully launched its first recyclable rocket in September 2008.

Cao Mang set his target for 2009, which was already several months behind him.

Although Kirin developed rockets three years later than them.

But Cao Mang believed that when the Chinese people rolled up, they could do in three years what the Lighthouse Kingdom could do in six years.

The premise is that you have to force them to curl up.

Say it again.

Cao Mang also gave them good creative conditions.

There are two points of difficulty in retrieving rockets.

The first point is the rocket body material, and the second point is the calculation of launch data.

Rocket body material Cao Mang will secretly push them at the right time.

In terms of data calculation, Cao Mang also provided them with the most powerful supercomputer currently available.

You must know that the IBM Blue Gene, the most powerful supercomputer this year, can only calculate 280 trillion times per second.

Cao Mang directly provided them with a nine-petaflop supercomputer, which was three times faster than the IBM supercomputer.

This means they can save two-thirds of their computing time.

If they need to develop software.

Cao Mang will also send them a software team of 1,000 people for development, which even the China Space Administration may not be able to provide.

If they don't have confidence like this, they can really get out.

"Are you confident to complete this task?" Cao Mang asked loudly again.

"Yes." Zhang Yuqian was the first to reply loudly.

Seeing Zhang Yuqian's answers, people started to answer them one after another.

Cao Mang was a little disappointed with this.

None of the dozen team leaders present could compare to Zhang Yuqian.

"Are you confident that you can finish it?" Cao Mang asked loudly again.

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

They all knew that if they didn't answer this time, they would really get out.

"Very good, the second project I want to tell you next is the Starlink Project." Cao Mang nodded with satisfaction.

Then he introduced the entire Starlink project to everyone. At this time, everyone knew why recyclable rockets were developed.

Kirin actually wants to launch more than 20,000 satellites to orbit the earth?

Once Kirin Group’s Starlink plan is successful.

Then Kirin will become the world's largest private satellite communications company.

Kirin Group will monopolize the global satellite communications market.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva after hearing this plan.

This plan is really crazy, and the boss's ambition is too great.

It turns out that there is really only a thin line between genius and madness.

They don't know if others are crazy.

But they knew that Cao Mang was definitely a super genius.

Otherwise, how could a person who doesn't understand aerospace come up with such a crazy plan.

"Once the rocket recovery and Starlink plans are successful, I believe everyone will be remembered by history in the future.

Everything you do will most likely be recorded in the textbooks.

The premise is that you can complete these two projects within five years."
