Chapter 931: Parents Need to Work More

Not long after the cooperation between AVIC and Xiongzi Technology was promoted with great fanfare, it received a cold reception. Mr. Yu personally visited Mr. Nan once, and then handed over the full authority of this cooperation to Mr. Wu.

AVIC and Xiongzi Technology jointly established a company called "Space Technology", with Mr. Wu as the general manager.

There is a vague meaning of distribution in it.

For Mr. Wu, a middle-level satellite company with a bright future, he really didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Theoretically speaking, Wu was always the vice president of AVIC's satellite company, but this time he became the boss, and his rank was raised by half a level.

However, the satellite company is an important part of AVIC, and "Space Technology" is just a company that has just been born with no important people and no money.

The future is ambiguous.

Moreover, Mr. Wu also saw the conflict between Chen Haocong and Nan Ming with his own eyes, and knew that Xiongzi Technology might not be able to get technical support for a while, and he would have to work on rockets with Chen Haocong for an unknown period of time. design……

Mr. Wu is an expert in satellites, but not good at rocket design. Fortunately, Mr. Yu hired a few rocket engineers to join Space Technology, which can be regarded as their most basic team.

Now, Mr. Wu felt that the five-year plan he put out at the beginning was useful again. Next, they had to find a suitable location as an office space, and then slowly find members and build a team.

With Mr. Wu's contacts in the aerospace industry, he can still recruit some people.

Although he needs to show his face to fool...

When Mr. Wu was busy looking for a place and building a team, Chen Haocong found him.

This was the afternoon of the second day after Chen Haocong and Nan Ming had a conflict. Chen Haocong came to Mr. Wu in a hurry with a large group of documents in his arms, and said, "Angkor, let's start designing now!"

"What?" Mr. Wu felt that Chen Haocong hadn't learned his lesson, but he heard it with his own ears. Nan Ming said that Chen Haocong could not enter the database of Lanshen Technology to retrieve the current technology of Lanshen Technology, but let him design it himself.

And at this time, what can one or two people do?

"Office space?" Chen Haocong waved his hand, "It's fine to talk about that kind of thing later, as long as we have a place now, the positioning of our space technology is a design company and technical support company, and things like facades are unnecessary. , let's start designing! Let's start!"

Looking at Chen Haocong's eager eyes, Mr. Wu could feel his burning passion.

Now he must be eager to design a rocket and prove himself.

But Mr. Wu would like to tell Chen Haocong that designing a rocket requires long-term technical accumulation and verification. If there is no mature solution available, it may take years, decades, and decades of continuous verification and accumulation. , it is possible to design a usable rocket.

And if you want this kind of rocket performance to break through the existing technology, you need long-term accumulation.

Before the real design, do the preliminary work first, instead of sharpening the knife and chopping the firewood by mistake.

But Chen Haocong insisted on this, and Mr. Wu had no choice but to put down all the preliminary work, and entrusted it to an engineer he trusted, and invested in the design with Chen Haocong.

Their office is in the most luxurious hotel in Zhao County.

Mr. Wu is ready to serve Chen Haocong like an uncle.

In his opinion, even after being taught a lesson by Nanming, Chen Haocong, who is proud of his spring breeze and a young man, has limited restraint, and there will definitely be many difficulties to deal with.

Who would have thought that Chen Haocong was definitely not the kind of playboy he thought.

In the first two days, Chen Haocong was almost all studying. Besides Mr. Wu, Chen Haocong and a few people who had been assigned, there was another person from "Space Technology" who volunteered to join——Liu Tianyun.

The small team of less than ten people was initially only teaching Chen Haocong some common sense issues in aerospace design.

And to deal with Chen Haocong's endless brain holes.

But gradually, Mr. Wu had to pay attention to Chen Haocong's brain hole.

Chen Haocong's first reliable brain hole came from the launch location.

"We can use balloons to hoist the rocket into the sky, and then launch it, which can reduce a lot of air resistance, and launch directly in level flight..." Chen Haocong said.

"Well, you can have this, but where can you find a balloon that can lift dozens of tons of weight?" Mr. Wu is not optimistic about this. Launching rockets in level flight from an airplane has been verified for a long time, and it is feasible, but there is no suitable airplane for launching in China.

"Yes." Chen Haocong looked at Mr. Wu with an idiot expression on his face.

Then Mr. Wu slapped his head, high-capacity balloons, Lanshen Technology has already had mature technology!

The whole playground is floating in the air!

Nanming just said that Chen Haocong would not be allowed to enter the database of the lazy gods, but who said that the mature products that are ready-made can't be used?

"The most important thing about a rocket is the rocket engine, right? The engine is also the most expensive part of a rocket." Chen Haocong no longer knows nothing about rockets, he said, "If we save costs, we can recycle and reuse rockets. Make a fuss."

The cost of fuel for a rocket launch is only more than 100,000 US dollars. If the rocket can be reused, the cost will drop immediately.

"Well, SpaceX's Falcon rocket is this way of thinking. We, AVIC, are also studying the issue of rocket recycling and reuse, but there is little progress at present, because after the rocket is launched once, the engine wears out severely, and once it is repaired, basically The cost is about the same as remanufacturing one..." Mr. Wu is not optimistic about Chen Haocong's idea either.

Why is the US space shuttle retired? Because the cost of reusable space vehicles is too high! It's ridiculously high! The technology that should be used to save costs has become a gold-swallowing monster that costs more because of substandard manufacturing processes and materials.

If the reusable rocket technology is really mature, the cost of satellite launch will be reduced by 99%!

Ma Yilong of Spacex has been advocating this technology all day long, but it is impossible to be so cheap when it is actually used. Now the rockets of Spacex cannot meet the conditions of repeated use at all.

"That's someone else." Chen Haocong said, "The life of a rocket engine is usually measured in seconds."

The rocket launch usually takes a few hundred seconds, and the first-stage rocket usually loses its function in more than 120 seconds, falls off automatically, and is recovered when it lands, or it is scrapped when it lands.

"I know a rocket engine that has been running smoothly for hundreds of hours." Chen Haocong said.

At that time, Mr. Wu wanted to touch Chen Haocong's head to see if he had a fever.

"The tail thruster of the Silence is a huge rocket engine!" Chen Haocong said.

At that time, Mr. Wu had an idea, what the hell!

To be honest, as an astronaut, Mr. Wu does not know how many times he has envied spaceX.

Why SpaceX can become the world's most high-profile aerospace company?

Because they rely on the huge market of the United States, most of the important components of SpaceX's Falcon rocket can be bought in the American market, and then they rely on the huge industrial base of the United States to integrate amazing low-cost rockets .

It's like Apple doesn't actually have any core technology of its own, but it can integrate the iPhone, the most versatile mobile phone in the world with no shortcomings.

If AVIC also had such a backer, how much better would their life be?

But now, he suddenly discovered that Lanshen Technology is just a technology self-selection supermarket, and the existing technology is enough to integrate countless products.

The rest is design.

Design, or design.

...

Just when Chen Haocong and others were racking their brains to integrate existing technologies and plan to design the best rocket, a plane landed at the airport in Washington, D.C., Columbus, USA.

Qin Yafei, the boss of Lazy God Yafei, and Wei Caiming and Wang Wanqiang, the two bosses of Qingchuang, got off the plane together.

Looking at the bustling crowd below, the three of them glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and said, "Come on, we must win the construction project of the earth trebuchet!"

"For the tuition fees of the children next year!" Wang Wanqiang said, "I have to work!"

Tens of billions of dollars of super large projects!
