Chapter 439 Ambitious
ps: Okay, we are still alive... Thank you for your great concern and tears flowing! In addition, let me refute the rumors: We are really not the guy who ran downstairs wrapped in a sheet! No, no, no! Say important things three times! After all, during the earthquake, we were still calm and returned the article casually, although we didn't even have time to change the title of tm...
Finally, I hope our Sichuan is in good weather and has few disasters and difficulties, alas...
Next to the main text:
Traditionally, aerospace is mainly divided into unmanned aerospace and manned aerospace.
Needless to say, unmanned aerospace technology is necessary to truly open up the era of national aerospace for mankind.
However, human spaceflight, or manned spaceflight, has increased at least one level compared to unmanned spaceflight, and is mainly composed of eight major systems:
Including astronaut system, space application system, manned spacecraft system, launch vehicle system, field system, measurement and control communication system, six-field system and space laboratory.
It’s fine to use the space application system, which mainly includes space earth observation and space scientific research technology. If these two technologies are installed in the space laboratory, it will become a space laboratory set up in space. If it is replaced by a name, it will be a famous space station!
However, these two systems can be fully integrated into spacecraft in the future, especially the space station system. For the people, this thing is not of great significance.
As for the shooting field system and the 6-field system, it is equivalent to the airport where aircraft takeoff and land. However, with the development of future pulse energy motivation, like the space station, spacecraft can completely replace or reduce the reliance on this aspect, and achieve vertical takeoff and landing. It will not require the construction of huge shooting bases like rockets and recycling cabins, which consumes too much energy to observe and recover the cabins and choose suitable landings in unmanned areas. Therefore, the investment in these two systems will not be large in the future.
The aerospace measurement and control communication system is a dedicated system that tracks and measures the flight status of spacecraft and other spacecraft, controls their motion and working status, and realizes communication between heaven and earth. Although it is of great significance, the investment is not much.
Overall, the most expensive and most technically difficult are astronauts and manned spacecrafts to carry the three major systems of rockets!
As the name suggests, the main task of the astronaut system is to select astronauts, conduct a series of aerospace mission training for astronauts, and develop and improve a series of technologies such as aerospace medicine, aerospace environment control and life support, as well as related ship-borne products, etc.
At present, it seems that this part of the cost is quite good.
Yang Weili, an astronaut at China, once said: "The country has invested countless manpower and material resources to select an astronaut. If fighter pilots are piled up with equal amounts of gold, then astronauts are piled up with equal amounts of diamonds."
This is not a false statement.
If training fighter pilots requires the value of gold equal to the human body, then astronauts need the value of diamond equal to the human body.
So how much is the value of a diamond that is equal to a human being!
Currently, the price of a 1-carat diamond on the market ranges from 30,000 to 250,000 yuan, because depending on the level, the price difference is very large. Let’s take the lowest 30,000 yuan per carat, 1 carat of a diamond = o.2 grams, which means 5ooo carats = 1 kilogram.
According to a person's weight of 65 kilograms, the calculated value is 9.75 billion yuan!
It costs nearly 10 billion yuan to train an astronaut, which is really shocking!
Of course, such a high cost is not just spent on the astronauts themselves, but the relevant technology and ship-borne products around are the big ones.
However, these peripheral technologies are all "one-time investment". When the national aerospace era arrives, the training of astronauts will be diluted to more people just like the national aerospace era, and the unit price will naturally be greatly reduced.
Even if peripheral products are used as fixed assets, astronauts are just products on the factory assembly line, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the spacecraft system.
Therefore, what really restricts the manned space technology exhibition is mainly the manned spacecraft system and launch vehicle system!
Manned spacecraft is the main place for astronauts to live, work and even carry out various scientific research activities. The main mission of launch vehicles is to provide spacecraft with power to cross space.
These two systems are like building a house on Earth: a launch vehicle is the foundation and column beam of the house, which directly limits how big and how many floors can a manned spacecraft be built, which is equivalent to the upper limit of the entire spacecraft system!
Now, the launch vehicle is about to be replaced by pulse energy motives, and the upper limit of the spacecraft construction has been infinitely raised. The next step is to work hard to enrich the cross-section of this upper limit, maximize the use of every part of the spacecraft, and successfully open it for commercial purposes.
However, except for the national forces, no private company is doing this research. At most, private companies are only studying a few satellites themselves.
The reason for this is entirely because the spacecraft's upper limit is limited by previous launch vehicle technology. After all, to send a kilogram of things into space, at least 62 kilograms of rocket weight must be consumed. With the lack of breakthrough progress in rocket technology, the investment and output can completely break the bankruptcy of a world's top 5oo company. The urinary nature of private capital that is completely profitable is absolutely not stupid to invest in this aspect!
But once rocket technology is replaced by pulse energy motivation, the profit points of the spacecraft will come out!
Whether it is used for interstellar tourism, exploration of the universe, or for space development, or interstellar colonization, spacecraft are expected in the future of civil space!
But now, few people can see this clearly!
But Shu Chang saw it!
This is his opportunity, the opportunity to break out of the cocoon and be reborn in Zero 2 space!
Hearing Shu Chang's analysis in this regard, Mr. Chen's expression gradually became serious, and eventually changed from suspicion to excitement.
There is great potential for this matter!
As Shu Chang analyzed, there is no private company in this area now that it is a technical reserve. Even Musk, the benchmark for the private space industry, has not disclosed any research plan related to manned spacecraft!
There is no doubt that they can be the first to eat crabs!
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Mr. Chen also asked Shu Chang a few questions in his heart.
"Mr. Shu, I have to admit that the big cake you drew is quite attractive. However, there are a few key factors in it. Once it is not solved well, if we do not eat this first bite of crab, we will be killed by the crab!"
Shu Chang: "You said."
"That's right," Mr. Chen explained seriously. "First, you know that at present, if we want to send a kilogram of things into space, we have to consume at least 62 kilograms of rocket weight. If the things delivered at one time are too heavy, the consumption will even increase exponentially. And how will the new pulse energy motivation eventually progress? Will its thrust-to-weight ratio and carrying capacity meet our expectations? No one can guarantee this in a short time."
"The second point is that although the senior management has opened up restrictions on private capital's participation in aerospace technology, it mainly targets rocket technology and satellite technology, and its attitude towards manned spacecraft is not clear. If there is any change in the future, the country needs to restrict this, and the potential risks are quite serious."
"So, if Zero 2 Space now transformed into a manned spacecraft, would the entry time be a little earlier?"
His hands became tighter subconsciously, and Shu Chang had no idea. After pondering for a while, he tried hard to explain:
"Mr. Chen, you really said it was at the key point."
"For the first point, I don't think there is any need to worry. Although I plan to shift the center of gravity of zero 2 space to manned space, we will not completely give up rocket technology for a long time. After all, we have invested a lot in this, and everything is ready, but we are not willing to give up immediately. The key is that its profit points have also been revealed."
"You also know that our financing this time is precisely because the zero-2 space rocket technology has been recognized by the market and has received many orders from commercial satellites. These orders will be enough to make us worry-free in the next few years. The difficulties encountered by zero-2 space are just because we have no funds to expand the production scale of the rocket."
"In a few years, if the pulse energy motivation can be successful, we will just give up rocket technology; if the motivation does not meet our expectations, we can continue to develop the Os-X rocket and manned spacecraft technology, just treat it as a technical reserve..."
His right index finger tapped his knee regularly, and Mr. Chen nodded: "So, if you go hand in hand, will you restrain your energy? Then, will you not be able to do both ends?"
Shu Chang smiled: "It depends on your support for us. If you have reservations here, we will definitely make certain choices, but if there is sufficient funds... Zero 2 Space is the first to try it out, I think Mr. Chen should be able to see our advantages."
Mr. Chen also smiled.
In fact, the funds he has in hand are enough to bring Zero 2 space together. The only concern is whether he can tell the one behind him;
But with that person's enlightenedness and inspiration, if he was still timid in the face of such an opportunity, even if the matter was proven to be done right in a short period of time, he would probably not be seen by that person.
It was almost understood by Shu Chang.
"As for the second point," said Shu Chang's face also became serious. "I don't know if Mr. Chen, you are well-informed. Our Zero 2 Space has only been established for more than a year. In this regard, there are indeed shortcomings..."
They are all smart people, just click to stop.
After pondering for a while, Mr. Chen shook his head: "Speaking of this, the capital level will always be faster than the administrative level. I think even the senior management may not have reached an agreement on the private manned space flight, or they may have simply ignored it..."
"So, this is more difficult!" Shu Chang frowned.
If they invest too much in manned space at that time, but the senior management will eventually have other considerations, limiting private capital and monopolizing manned space technology, then Zero 2 space will be really dangerous.
Mr. Chen on the opposite side also frowned.
This point itself was proposed by him, and it was indeed quite tricky. However, he was really convinced by Shu Chang and wanted to invest in zero space in his heart, but if he was finally stuck at this step, he would really not be willing to accept it.
Thinking for a long time.
He suddenly realized that the purpose of coming to Beijing this time was not just to invest in zero space!
The corners of his mouth bent subconsciously:
"But there is no way..."
The northwest suburb of the capital city is near the exit of the Gaobei'an River in Badaling.
The famous China Capital Aerospace City is located here.
Speaking of which, Jingshi Aerospace City is one of the three largest aerospace centers in the world, the location of the China Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center, and also the location of the China Space Technology Research Institute and the Beijing Space Flight Control Center!
It is not only responsible for the command and dispatch, flight control, data processing, information exchange, astronaut selection, training, space suits, and aerospace instrument development of my country's manned space flight missions, but also the first in China and the third in the world to be a modern flight control center with transparent control capabilities, visual measurement and control support capabilities, high-precision real-time orbit setting capabilities, high data processing capabilities, automated plan generation capabilities and clear image transmission capabilities!
It can be said that this is the control center of the entire China aerospace engineering!
It is precisely because of this that when Fang Jifan founded Xinghai Aerospace Company, he chose to build the company's headquarters and laboratory opposite the Aerospace City. It is clear that the building is close to the water and can wield a hoe to dig the wall at any time;
So later, a semi-closed and half-open "city" like Aerospace City actually directly brought Fang Jifan and the major leaders of Xinghai Aerospace to the blacklist and included it in the number one list prohibited from visiting!
Even so, it cannot stop Xinghai Aerospace's hoe-waving method.
Under the dual temptation of high salary and Professor Liu Feng and Professor Liu University, researchers in the Aerospace City were ready to move, and people would leave from time to time. Not long ago, a heavyweight professor from the Space Technology Institute actually threw himself into Xinghai Aerospace's arms. He was so angry that the supervisor of the Aerospace City stomped his feet and sued the sued all the lawsuit to the top management, which made the opponent feel a little calmer.
However, this is not a long-term solution, because for almost a long time, those who engage in aerospace are not as good as those who sell tea eggs... This situation is not a joke, but a fact.
I have to say that this is the sorrow of Chinese scientific researchers, and it is also the reason why high-end talents in China always like to go abroad for quite some time;
Even though the treatment has improved a little over the years, compared with the treatment of private companies that have developed in recent years, it is one of the heavens and the other is the earth.
As for the treatment of the heavyweight professor, he only earns about 20,000 yuan a month in the research institute, but Xinghai Aerospace next door directly offered him an annual salary of one million!
Not to mention, there is also the fact that there is no upper limit for scientific research funds!
To be honest, even the supervisor of the Aerospace City is jealous of this kind of treatment...
At this time, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see many beautiful views in the aerospace city from the office of the general manager of Xinghai Aerospace Company.
Because it is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, as a whole, the huge space city is full of vitality and tranquility, the fragrance of flowers and the sound of birds singing.
There are red walls and green waters in the distance, and there are also characteristic buildings of the Aerospace City in the near future. The most obvious and eye-catching thing is the huge stainless steel sculpture symbolizing the Chinese lunar exploration project - "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" at the entrance of the China Space Technology Institute!
Every time Fang Jifan looked at the sculpture "Chang'e Flying to the Moon", he felt as if he had a lot of passion in his heart, so even if he had seen it countless times, he would never get tired of it.
It’s not because Chang’e is so beautifully carved, but because this sculpture symbolizes the profound scientific research heritage of the Aerospace City!
Every time I looked at her, Fang Jifan always had the idea of moving this thing to the gate of Xinghai Aerospace Company...
"Mr. Chen, what if we also build a 'Chang'e Flying to the Moon' in our Xinghai Space Company?"
At this moment, standing next to Fang Jifan and looking at the opposite Aerospace City with him was the President Chen who had been preparing to raise funds for Zero 2 Space before!
Facing this Jiangzhou fellow villager who was "ambitious" who planned to move the entire aerospace city to Xinghai Aerospace Company, Mr. Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Also a young hero, this guy's ambition is obviously bigger than the one in Zero 2 space!
I don’t know how stylish Professor Liu Feng and Professor Liu, who are also fellow villager in Jiangzhou, should be!
Thinking of this, a pity arose in his heart...
Chapter completed!
