Chapter 455 Strategic Goals and Strategic Deception

Old Academician Pan Deming did not formally participate in this grand event in the field of aerospace.

He ran over from Peking University opposite just to say hello to Xu Chuan and chat. After making an appointment to chat for a long time, he left the venue.

After the old academician left, Xu Chuan also found his seat and sat down.

There is no doubt that his seat is in the first row.

And he was led by Qin Anguo, the head of the Department of Science and Technology, and on the right was Chen Xinhai, the dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University.

If you trace the history of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University, it is actually quite famous. It was established before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

During that difficult and struggling period, it was originally named the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and it cultivated a large number of outstanding talents and made important contributions to the establishment of China's aviation disciplines and the development of aviation technology.

Then in the late 1950s, in order to develop high-tech national defense projects represented by two stars, more than half of the talents came from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University.

It's just that the powerful Department of Aeronautics was later split and formed the Beihang College, which became one of the important origins of Beihang.

As for the current strength, although it is not weak, it is not the top among domestic aerospace schools or institutions.

There are many stronger ones, such as Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, National University of Defense Technology, etc.

And today, being able to host this grand exchange meeting in the field of aerospace as the organizer is undoubtedly an inspiring voice for the revival of the School of Aerospace of Shuimu University.

After sitting in their seats and resting for a while, Qin Anguo, the dean of the School of Science and Technology, and Chen Xinhai, the dean of Shuimu University, walked over side by side.

When they saw Xu Chuan, who was sitting in his seat and resting, the two people who were chatting were slightly stunned, and then they quickened their pace and walked over quickly.

"Academician Xu, long time no see." Qin Anguo had a warm smile on his face and stretched out his hand to greet Xu Chuan.

"It's been a while since I last saw you." Xu Chuan smiled and stood up and shook hands with Mr. Qin.

When he just returned to China, it was this gentleman who contacted him personally. It was not until the nuclear waste-related projects were completed that other people were re-arranged to come.

Qin Anguo smiled and introduced Xu Chuan: "This is Comrade Chen Xinhai, the dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University."

"This is Academician Xu Chuan."

Dean Chen had a smile on his face and clasped his hands and shook them enthusiastically: "I have heard of Academician Xu's name for a long time. Today I finally have the opportunity to meet him. He is as young and powerful as the rumors say."

Xu Chuan smiled and greeted him, and the three of them sat down again.

Qin Anguo looked at Xu Chuan with a smile and continued: "Regarding the general manager of the manned space flight and lunar exploration project, Academician Xu really has no intention? To be honest, there should be no more suitable candidate than you in China."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan coughed lightly and said: "The field of manned space flight is not within my research scope. Let me be the general manager, which is a bit like an outsider guiding an insider."

"And I have a lot of projects on hand. If I coordinate and direct such a large project, I will definitely be too busy."

Qin Anguo smiled and said: "If Academician Xu really doesn't have time, forget it, but it would be better to hang a virtual chief technical consultant on the project. How about a position? "

"After all, if we want to successfully drag the United States and Western countries into the field of aerospace competition, we still need a top scholar to stand on the platform."

"I believe no one is more suitable than you."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Of course, don't worry, we will never use your name to publish news and papers. Unless you are willing."

Since it was said, Xu Chuan couldn't refuse, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter to me to hold a nominal position. After all, Xinghai Research Institute itself is a cooperative institution of this project."

This kind of thing is too common for top scholars.

Just like a Nobel Prize winner, who often serves as various honorary consultants, or even a partner of a laboratory.

But in fact, this Nobel Prize winner may not have done anything, just a position, and then the related research is constantly optimistic.

This is actually a way to expand the influence of projects or research by relying on the reputation of well-known scholars, but it is still different from well-known scholars taking the initiative to stand up and express their opinions and papers.

For this kind of thing, Xu Chuan doesn't care so much.

Even if he didn't hold the post, the United States would find out that the Xinghai Research Institute he led was the main R&D team for manned space flight and lunar exploration.

Beside him, Qin Anguo smiled and said, "That would be a lot of trouble for Academician Xu."

As he spoke, the exchange meeting began.

Standing on the podium, the spokesperson of the Science and Technology Department read out the main content of the exchange meeting.

The morning exchange meeting was mainly about some policy announcements.

Such as increasing the budget for aerospace projects, encouraging the entry of private enterprises through tax-free scientific research subsidies, etc.

In general, they are all old-fashioned topics, but compared with the past, the intensity has increased a lot this time.

These things seemed a little uninteresting to Xu Chuan. He didn't lack funds, and he couldn't be considered a private enterprise. As for tax-free scientific research subsidies, they didn't mean much to him.

For some private enterprises, this subsidy is quite sincere.

Especially in the field of aerospace, investing one dollar can offset two dollars of tax, which is quite attractive.

After all, if you engage in aerospace, the investment is basically tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

If you invest 100 million, you can offset 200 million in taxes, which is quite tempting for some big companies.

For example, Tencent launched the "WeEarth Super Earth" plan in 2019.

The goal is to establish a peer-to-peer observation network of 300 satellites in the next few years, and provide "out-of-the-box" remote sensing services to government agencies, scientific research institutions and technology companies through "dedicated satellite" services.

And to send 300 satellites into space, the cost is not a small amount of money.

Even SpaceX, which currently provides the cheapest rocket spaceflight, has a launch cost of more than 2,000 kilograms of its main carrier rocket, the Falcon 9 reused rocket.

2,000 kilograms of gold is still the cost price, and it may be sold to other manufacturers at least several times more.

And a satellite that realizes peer observation network, remote sensing services, positioning services and other functions, at least several hundred kilograms.

According to the relatively low launch cost of 300 kilograms and 5,000 kilograms of gold per kilogram, the launch cost alone is as high as 500 million yuan.

Five hundred million, if according to the policy announced at this exchange meeting, can offset a full 1 billion in taxes.

For enterprises with satellite launch needs, this is equivalent to the state directly bearing their launch costs while also subsidizing an additional 500 million in research expenses.

Of course, this extremely favorable tax deduction policy is not without conditions.

To meet the tax deduction standards, you need to invest in the aerospace industry in China. It is impossible for you to take 1 billion and go to the US SpaceX company to launch a rocket, and then take the invoice back to deduct taxes. This is impossible.

Simply put, this policy is to promote the development of domestic private aerospace enterprises, whether you invest in rocket launches yourself or find other domestic aerospace companies to launch rockets.

But looking for foreign ones is not allowed.

The morning exchange meeting basically covered these contents.

In the afternoon, well-known scholars in the domestic aerospace field and several academicians of the Academy of Sciences made their own reports on the development and planning of the aerospace direction.

Such as "The Development of Manned Spaceflight Engineering and Space Technology", "Progress and Prospects of Lunar Resource Development and Utilization", "Imagination of the Development of Space Resource Development System", etc.

At first, Xu Chuan thought it was a normal exchange, until the Propaganda Hall of the Science and Technology Department began to report the plan, he heard something very familiar in the conversation.

". According to the plan, we will build a super-large mass catapult in 2030, which will use a controlled nuclear fusion reactor to provide energy for the aerospace field. In the future, spacecraft, satellites, materials and other items that need to be launched can be directly accelerated to the first cosmic speed, and can be sent into outer space without power, greatly saving the cost of rocket launches."

"In addition, it is expected that in 2040, the Science and Technology Department will lead the "Nantianmen Plan" action and use the mass catapult to build an aerospace mothership in outer space for navigation in this galaxy."

"The fleet will use a controlled nuclear fusion reactor as a power source to transport materials and minerals to and from the moon, Mars and other planets."

"."

"We welcome other countries to participate in the development of interstellar resources and create a better future for mankind together. We also welcome companies in major aerospace fields to invest in China."

As the person in charge on the stage spoke, the crowd in the auditorium became obviously agitated.

Super-mass catapult?

Nantianmen Project?

Aerospace mothership powered by nuclear fusion?

Interstellar resource mining?

A series of terms made everyone present swallow their saliva and be amazed.

Have they traveled through time? Came directly to the interstellar era?

Can such a thing really be done now?

Is this pie a bit too big?

However, at the meeting, the chief technical consultant for manned space flight and lunar exploration was Academician Xu.

Everyone knows the miracles created by Academician Xu.

Controlled nuclear fusion, which was called forever fifty years, was solved by him in less than three years.

If we look at this, in the next ten years, this kind of mass catapult may really be possible.

Thinking of this, everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppressed the shock in their hearts.

And the bigwigs in the business and industrial circles have recorded these things one after another. It seems necessary to go back and study them seriously.

If it can really be done, this is the future.
