Chapter 1568: 1576

Grace is still a little unimaginable: "even so, a space city, even if calculated according to 10000 tons, is 25 times that of the international space station. To send so many materials into space, I think it must not only be a simple rocket transportation problem, but also need a complete space R & D system, and it must not avoid global cooperation?"

"Indeed," Simon did not deny this time, say: "However, you must also know that the larger the scale, the lower the relative cost. Just like satellite research and development, it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a high-end satellite will cost billions of dollars before and after it is successfully put into space. In fact, the main reason is that mass production is impossible or unnecessary. Of course, there are inevitable gray areas. As for me, I really want to explore space and pursue the limits of science and technology. Therefore, I will cut off all kinds of unnecessary gray links as much as possible, and I will try my best to avoid the bloated and inefficient space exploration team of Westeros system like the space departments of NASA and other countries. In short, although I am rich, my goal is to do the most with the least resources. "

Grace listened carefully to Simon and looked at the little man with a little more admiration. She temporarily stopped her action, turned and leaned against the kitchen counter and asked, "so, what kind of space city are you going to build?"

"I just drew some drawings, but in the computer, if you are interested, I'll show you before going to bed at night," Simon said, turning on the fire, putting oil into the pan, preparing to fry the steak, and seeing the woman staring at herself like a curious baby, Can only continue: "Generally speaking, the first generation space city mainly has two aspects. One is that it has a gravity silo. You may have seen some science fiction movies that create artificial gravity through rotation. You know, if human beings want to stay in space for a long time, gravity is definitely a very important thing. The second is that they can travel in space. The first space city should at least be able to complete the journey between earth and moon Flights between. So it's OK to say that this is a space carrier. "

The grass sample drawn by Simon is the super space station model in Redley Scott's Mars rescue. As for the specific design scheme, it is the problem of the professional technical team.

When grace saw the man start frying steak, she turned around and got busy again. She continued: "I still think it's unimaginable that even if the space carrier is only 10000 tons, which is equivalent to one tenth of the large federal aircraft carrier, it's actually very huge."

"From the space scale, it's just a grain of dust," Simon said. "Therefore, the first generation of space city is just an experiment involving various technologies. My goal for the second generation is to reach at least 100000 tons and complete the voyage between earth and Mars."

Grace followed the man's voice: "will the third generation rush out of the solar system?"

"Of course not, it's still too far away. My goal for the third generation is to further improve various technical details and realize a complete closed loop in which human beings can survive in space for a long time without supplies."

Grace suddenly thought of one thing: "in this case, does it mean that once some extreme events occur on the earth, such as the Third World War, we and even our children, there may be another way out in addition to Tasmania you arranged?"

Simon nodded: "of course, this is another basket for eggs."

Even if he has a clear goal for the future, Simon's attitude as a complete pessimist has not changed.

Still, some things, which are engraved on the level of human genes, cannot be changed. After all, plunder is easier than production, and destruction is easier than construction. Therefore, building a space city is also a possible choice for your family in the future, in some cases.

As for more people on the planet, Simon can only say regret.

Grace got confirmation from the man and said, "but we can't live in space city forever, can we?"

"Even the most extreme war can't last forever," Simon said. "There are some situations. We just move to space temporarily. When the ground situation is stable, we can come back."

That's right.

Grace nodded again, fantasized, smiled and shook her head: "I still think it sounds very sci-fi and far away."

"Just do it step by step." Simon said: "human beings can land on the moon in the 1960s. It's not a problem to go further."

Grace well, then said, "well, or the first generation, how much do you plan to invest?"

Simon didn't answer directly, Instead, he said: "First of all, that's why I want to pursue the reuse of rockets. The current space city scheme is still in the embryonic stage. However, according to the final planning volume of 10000 tons, based on the quotation of other mainstream heavy-duty rockets, about 20 tons and 100 million US dollars, just sending 10000 tons of materials into space will cost 50 billion US dollars, not to mention that it will certainly avoid all kinds of problems Failure loss, etc. Besides the potential of reusable rockets, the 30 ton load of Falcon 9 may eventually be reduced to hundreds of thousands of fuel consumption, even if it is reduced to $5 million each time and 10000 tons of materials are sent into space... "

Grace had worked it out quickly and couldn't help but say, "about $1.5 billion?"

"It's hard to imagine, isn't it?" Simon smiled: "the latest Ford class aircraft carrier in the federal plan has a budget of tens of billions of dollars."

"You're changing the concept and taking the freight to the cost." seeing the man's interest, grace poured cold water: "according to the quotation of $100 million and 20 tons of heavy-duty rocket, the international space station only needs $2 billion. Where does it need hundreds of billions?"

Simon shrugged slightly and turned over the steak that had overflowed from the pan, say: "The problem is that I can reduce the transportation cost of the 10000 ton space city to the same level as the 400 ton space station. Then, the final cost and budget of the complete space city will certainly be in a range far lower than that imagined by ordinary people. Perhaps, I can make a budget assumption of $300 billion, which should be very abundant, and then apportion it to the next 20 years. This money is for me Easy. "

Grace stirred the soup pot again and again, turned her head and glanced at the man: "to build a space city for $300 billion, this... Or, you don't often say that if you want a long-term sustainability, you must have enough output to form a complete business model at the same time of investment. Then, what about this matter, and then?"

Simon said: "In fact, there is a premise. In an era of lack of faith and confrontation, if you want to promote some people to do something, you can only lure them. This is a business model that can generate profits. However, I am not others. I do not lack long-term vision. It happens that I still have enough economic strength, so I can do it for a long time in the eyes of others To pursue profits. Of course, I also insist that this thing needs a complete business model, but not yet. I can only look forward to the future. We continue to explore it when we do it. Perhaps you know, diapers, the current global industrial scale has reached tens of billions of dollars. They were originally invented for the needs of aerospace. In fact, there are many others. "

Grace filled some soup with a spoon, blew it to her mouth, tasted it carefully, and then said, "in this case, you spend so much money, but you don't produce it directly. Even if it's your own money, you will certainly receive a lot of criticism in the process of promoting the plan in the future."

"Yes," Simon shrugged. "For example, so many people on earth are still struggling in poverty. Why don't I donate this money to help them?"

Grace smiled, "why?"

"Because I'm an alien, I just want to go home."

"Oh."

"Do you want to go back with me?"

"Yes."

While chatting and preparing dinner, we sat beside the curtain wall of the cloud restaurant on the high floor of Westeros building with the last sunset, until the 'starry sky' under our feet was more brilliant than the sky.

After dinner, she didn't rush to the party hosted by melisandra. Grace said she wanted to see Simon's draft about the space city. Of course, she was satisfied. Then she saw the big bed in the bedroom and the party. Of course, it doesn't matter.

The next day still rest, until the new week, time is February 28.

Monday.

Monday of the new week is waking up in Jerry Hall's Greenwich floor.

Jerry hall wanted to have a child. Although Simon planned to restrain it, he agreed after a little consideration.

Because this is a smart woman.

Simon likes smart women because children will be smart in the future and will be taught to be smarter by smart women.

In the restaurant in the morning, Hall's eldest daughter Elizabeth was absent. She followed James, one year younger than Elizabeth, to London, the second stop of fashion week, and went to his father Mick Jagger, so only the youngest Gloria had dinner with the two adults.

The eight year old girl doesn't need much attention. Simon and hall still talk about some business.

After consideration of the upcoming production of "the proud son of the Overpass", hall finally decided to retreat behind the scenes and only be a producer. After all, even at the moment, in case of pregnancy, there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up.

After a selection, Claudia Schiffer, the "snow lady" was finally finalized as the host.

In fact, hall initially considered Cindy Crawford. Cindy had also been a host before. She has some experience and is a Native American girl. She is famous enough and is easier to be recognized by the American audience.

Unfortunately, it was not settled in the end.

It's not that Cindy's offer is too high. After all, when the other party reaches the retirement age, he must consider the future for himself, but the initiative required is too large. In addition, the other party's coffee position is indeed enough. Hall is worried that one can't be controlled, which will bring uncontrollable variables to the follow-up production. After all, this must be intended to make a series, and Cindy's first requirement is to sign one season, It certainly won't work.

Relatively speaking, Claudia Schiffer, who is also striving for transformation at the age of 30, readily signed a three-season agreement at one time.

Simon still thinks Heidi Krum is more suitable, but he doesn't think much about it because he has cut the children's things. This time, snow lady, for better or worse, can actually accept it. In that sentence, the current development of Westeros system has enough fault-tolerant space.

Speaking of it, I think of mother snowflake's end * * ody.

Last time, last time. Maybe we can do it again.

At the dinner table, Jerry Hall said this. He wiped his mouth for his little girl next to him and mentioned another thing: "Simon, I see that melisandra is trying to buy Hermes recently?"

Simon nodded.

The news should have spread.

As the king of luggage, Hermes brand, whether once or this time, is the Pearl of the industry that many fashion groups hope to win. For melisandra, if she can win Hermes, she will immediately add an "aircraft carrier" brand with a sales volume of US $1 billion.

In the original time and space, Hermes was almost eaten by LVMH, which also triggered the French government's investigation into the malicious acquisition of LVMH. However, because of LVMH's special status in France, it only fined three drinks and paid a fine of millions of dollars. However, Hermes was not won because the brand founder family used the poison pill plan to block the further annexation of LVMH.

This time, because of the rise of melisandra, the development of LVMH is far from what it used to be. At present, it is unable to give birth to the idea of Hermes. Melisandra was strong enough, and Sophia took decisive action.

The reaction of the Hermes family was the same as before.

After all, Hermes operates normally, has rich profits, and its brand style is still at the top of the industry pyramid. It certainly doesn't want to live under others.

However, the company is not impeccable.

Hermes is a listed company. At present, it owns 37% of the shares in the circulation market. Although Hermes family holds the remaining 63% of the shares, it is scattered in the hands of more than 50 Hermes family members. This means that as long as someone can win part of Hermes's circulating shares, more than 10%, it can easily become the largest shareholder of Hermes.

That's what melisandra does.

Similarly, some non-compliance means have been used. Mainly, the French stock market also has the rule that the shareholding of more than 5% needs to be reported. However, in recent days, melisandra's shareholding has been exposed for the first time, but it has been as high as 21%, including some members of the Hermes family who are absorbed from the open market and want to cash out.

Then, now.

The news revealed that both the Hermes family and the French government showed strong concern. In addition to the four ongoing spring fashion weeks, this has also become the first hot spot in the global fashion circle recently.
