Just as the press conference of the "Nine Sky Stars" planetary exploration project was held, the capital market had already begun to take the lead.
Jiuzhou Blue Arrow quickly surged by more than 8 percentage points in the last half hour, and stocks in related concept sectors were also moving. For example, stocks such as Beidou Star, one of the monster stocks at the beginning of the year, were stimulated by this news and also appeared in late trading. Different degrees of lifting.
As the press conference ended, this news became a hot topic today and caused widespread heated discussion.
Domestic astronomy enthusiasts or aerospace enthusiasts were also very excited when they saw this news. Last year, the "Yinghuo 1" dream was hit hard when it broke into low-Earth orbit, and it also attracted many well-known celebrities to express their anger.
Everyone thought that the failure of "Yinghuo 1" meant that there would be no plans for deep space exploration in the next five years or even longer. As a result, just half a year later, they were able to regroup so quickly. This time, they not only did it all themselves, but also It’s such a big undertaking that two deep space exploration projects were launched at once.
However, while the establishment of the "Nine Sky Stars" planetary exploration project has triggered heated discussions, there are also a large number of public celebrities who have come out with strange opinions. Not only do they use "Yinghuo 1" as an example, they even viciously hope for its failure. .
Naturally, a battle of war on the Internet is inevitable.
It is worth mentioning that at the press conference, the "Star Nine Sky" engineering team did not disclose too many details to the outside world. They only disclosed that the detector is expected to be launched in 2016.
Plans like the ambitious Mars exploration project to bring back Martian soil are still kept secret, and no details have been disclosed to the public.
Enthusiasts who pay attention to the field of space exploration have found that the domestic launch missions in 2015 and 2016 will be very intensive. In 2015, it is confirmed that the "Sky Mirror" will be launched, and in 2016, the Saturn probe and the Mars probe will be launched. This year there were intensive launches into space.
The news spread abroad and caused a sensation in the international aerospace and astronomy circles.
In recent years, the major Eastern countries have been playing bigger and bigger games in the space field. Since the end of the Meisu space hegemony, the investment in the field of space exploration by Europe and the United States has been visibly declining.
The scale of investment from the big Eastern countries has soared exponentially, which has actually attracted the attention of some overseas talents.
Both European Space Agency and NASA are paying close attention to the "Nine Days to Stars" planetary exploration project. Currently, Saturn has the only probe orbiting Saturn, "Cassini". It was launched in the last century and entered Saturn in 2004. .
Now that the big Eastern country is going to launch a detector in 2016, the equipment and instruments will definitely be more superior than that of Cassini. If nothing else, the imaging technology will definitely be more advanced than it was twenty years ago.
If it successfully enters the orbit of Saturn, it will surely take higher-definition imaging pictures and more accurate data.
At this moment, when NASA saw the news, it took the opportunity to backhand and exaggerate a wave of Eastern powers competing in the space field. If they don't work harder, they will be overtaken.
But the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to reach out to the congressmen for money.
…
Recently, in the field of aerospace or astronomy, after the "Sky Mirror" project and the "Sky Survey Space Telescope" project were approved, the Natural Science Foundation once again received approval to launch the "Nine Days to Stars" planetary exploration project, and the Saturn Exploration Plan and the Mars Exploration Plan have received more than 50 billion financial support.
People who are engaged in other scientific research fields are really envious. The fields of aerospace and astronomy have become very popular in recent years, and the number of people applying for majors has also increased significantly. This is obvious. This series of engineering projects require senior talents, and related employment Jobs have also surged due to the launch of many engineering projects.
The key is that the remuneration is very good. The remuneration for the jobs required for these basic scientific research engineering projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation has been significantly increased. This is also to attract more outstanding talents and the new generation to enter the basic field when they choose a major.
Although the older generation of researchers has a harder time, they have a high social status and are respected by the world.
Times have changed, and in the current era where everything is about money, it is undeniable that many of the new generation of young students cannot afford to buy a house or get married even if they are passionate about scientific research because of their poor family backgrounds. Make sacrifices for life and choose other majors with "money paths".
In scientific research, except for the top talents at the head who do not have to worry about economic problems, the salary of ordinary researchers at the grassroots level is really low compared with other popular industries.
After all, there are only a few geniuses at the head, and the operation of a large-scale scientific research project requires many engineers. When the salary is not enough to make a living, it means a lack of hematopoietic ability.
This leads to the fact that when freshmen choose a major, unless extremely talented people dare to enter this field, those with average talents know that they will not reach the top level. Even buying a house and getting married will be a problem in the future. Moreover, the social status of scientific research is not as good as before, and the willingness to choose It's normal if it's not high.
Obviously, this will affect the hematopoietic ability of the overall scientific research talent system.
The Natural Science Foundation cannot change this environmental soil, but it has a say in the scientific research projects it supports. After all, it has financial power.
At present, except for top talents, the average basic monthly salary of ordinary researchers is about 3,500 yuan to 5,000 yuan. For those basic scientific research engineering projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation, the salary level of ordinary researchers directly increases on the basis of the average level of the industry. Five times, that is, the basic monthly salary level is 17,500 yuan to 25,000 yuan.
A monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan is the minimum salary level. Even if it increases five times, it is still not an exaggeration compared with the financial industry and IT industry.
The salary is several times higher than the level in the industry, which makes the basic scientific research projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation become the unit that many talents in the industry most want to join. Although this salary level cannot be compared with the IT industry and the financial industry, it is still considered a high salary.

Meditation in the villa.
"Academician Wang of the Academy of Sciences once again proposed to the Natural Science Foundation to build a large particle collider project. The funding involved in this project proposal is too huge, and I have no decision." In the study on the second floor, Yu Qiu was reporting this to Fang Hong. matter.
If the budget of a single scientific research project is less than 1 billion, Yu Qiu will discuss and make decisions with the Natural Science Foundation Council. If the budget exceeds 1 billion, she will report back to Fang Hong and let him make the decision.
Projects like the particle collider look like bottomless pits at first glance.
Recently, the field of aerospace or astronomy has received large-scale funding from natural scientists one after another, which has also made many people in other fields restless. For example, the field of high-energy physics also needs large-scale funding support.
Fang Hong asked: "What is the project budget?"
Yu Qiu replied: "According to Academician Wang's estimate, it will cost about 200 billion."
Hearing this, Fang Hong said simply: "Reject."
This decision was not against the particle collider project, but because he knew that based on the current basic environment of high-energy physics in China, this was a god-level pit, and it was impossible to jump into it knowing that it was a god-level pit.
Fang Hong looked at Yu Qiu and added: "It's not that the Natural Science Foundation can't get the money. He wants to build a collider. Answer my three questions first. First, the collider can use its own without introducing foreigners." Can people operate independently? Secondly, can an investment of 200 billion in assets guarantee a certain success in research and development? Thirdly, can a budget of 200 billion really be capped?"
Fang Hong’s main reason for rejecting the project was that three aspects had not been resolved.
The first aspect is that there is a serious loss of basic talents in domestic physics. The development of particle collider will inevitably bring in a large number of foreigners to operate it. Domestic scientific researchers currently do not have the technical ability to master the particle collider at all, and it is difficult to produce results. If it is not your own, it will only serve as a wedding dress for foreigners in vain.
Secondly, the money from the Natural Science Foundation is not brought by strong winds. 200 billion is indeed affordable. After all, it is not just a year. However, 200 billion is an astronomical figure. Even Fang Hong has to weigh it. He does not hesitate to spend money to support the space field because he has enough talent to support it, it can be played successfully, and the future expectations are also visible.
The third aspect is that the research and development of particle collider is a bottomless pit. Fang Hong firmly believes that the current budget of 200 billion is enough. If the budget of 200 billion is really launched, it will definitely not be available. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get out of the tiger. In the words of investors, it will be deeply locked up. .
This is not the key. The key is that there is no guarantee of success. For example, the construction of the collider will be 100% dependent on Western countries. By then, hundreds of billions will be poured into it. If the West stumbles and chokes you at the critical moment, then it won’t be possible. Finished in place?
At this moment, Xingyu Technology has begun to get stuck, and it is a proper act of going up and giving away people's heads.
Fang Hong has the advantage of foresight. He knows that more than ten years later, Europe's particle collider will be considering closing down. The reason is that it is too expensive and Europeans cannot afford it.
Not only does this thing cost a lot to build, but it also costs a lot to maintain and operate. It consumes an astonishing amount of power. A single collision experiment would cause a power outage in half of the city.
But at this moment, Fang Hongwang said to Yu Qiu: "If he can solve the three problems I mentioned, this project can be launched this year. If it can't be solved, then there is no need to discuss it. Let's just use the existing trumpet collision." We should use the opportunity to cultivate talents and develop our internal skills before talking about it."
To launch a project at this juncture that relies heavily on foreigners and has a super-large budget of hundreds of billions, isn’t that a complete act of giving away free money? Isn’t it good to have 200 billion to break through the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain?
