I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"oh?"

Lin Ju was a little confused, one for manned training and one for transport, wouldn't it be enough?

"Look, you said you need it urgently, so there will definitely be a lot of weightless training, right?"

Lin Ju nodded, time was running out, and of course he had to fly a few more times.

Wang Zhi immediately had a real expression on his face:

"That's right. Figure 154 is an old aircraft after all. To tell you the truth, the maintenance process for each flight is longer and more careful than that of a new aircraft. High-intensity flying like today's civil aviation is risky, especially if it is still flying. To do a continuous parabolic flight.

Therefore, I suggest you rotate two aircraft, which greatly improves safety and reduces the lifespan of the aircraft. And the price is not expensive. We need to replace a lot of spare parts to refurbish an aircraft, which is almost 1.8 million. After that, every time we fly, the pilot ground staff salary plus maintenance fuel add up to a total of 10...200,000.

This price is definitely cheaper than the airlines, and we don’t need to go through any approval procedures. 96533 can fly wherever you want. Even if you apply for a route, it’s very convenient just to say hello and we will give it to you for free. "

Lin Ju calculated in his mind that three aircraft cost 5.4 million to maintain, and one flight cost 200,000. Five million can fly 25 times, which is more than enough to complete training and space shuttle special events.

This is consistent with his goal of investing a budget of 10 million, and even feels a bit cheap.

Several civil aviation companies contacted were either unwilling or were very open-minded. The old 737 cost 350,000 yuan per flight and were not willing to undergo in-depth renovation. The routes and flight times were not easy to arrange. It was simply not sincere.

Moreover, it is necessary for safety reasons. Although there are many people who have used passenger aircraft for forty or fifty years if they are properly maintained, but Figure 154...

However, in order to show his true nature as a capitalist, Lin Ju still had to bargain.

"Captain Wang, the cost of these three planes exceeds our budget. I'm afraid the price of 1.8 million for one plane is unacceptable. This can buy more than half of the plane.

Let’s do this, three at a time for 5 million, do you think that’s okay? "

Wang Zhi began to feel nervous when he heard Lin Ju's counter-offer, especially after knowing that his offer was inflated. However, when he heard Lin Ju's final offer, he immediately tightened his face and held Lin Ju's hand with an expression of gritted teeth. hand:

"Mr. Lin, your price does put us in a difficult position, but who said our military and civilians are in a fishy situation.

I won’t make any money by refurbishment of the aircraft. From now on, I can have some savings to provide extra meals for my comrades every time I fly. "

Lin Ju looked at the ruins at the airport, and then thought of the remoteness of Ulan Hasan Mountain deep in the prairie. He completely believed that Captain Wang, who had an almost ferocious face, was ruthless and only wanted to earn some hard-earned money. Besides, he was exempted from applying for airspace. What about the cost.

"Thank you, thank you Captain Wang, a private company like ours is lucky to have you!"

"You're welcome, this is all for our lofty ideal of manned spaceflight.

Who is that, Xiao Zhang! Go to the herdsman's house and buy some sheep. In the evening we will treat Mr. Lin to taste the delicious beef and mutton of the prairie! Remember to buy a young lamb, don’t bring back an old sheep! "

"yes!"

Due to the enthusiasm of the comrades at Ulan Hashan Repair Shop, Lin Ju had no choice but to stay and eat a sumptuous meal of roasted whole lamb, sour kumiss, and experience prairie-style dancing and bonfires.

When Lin Ju was so sleepy late at night that he fell asleep in his room at the base. Wang Zhi, who had been depressed all day, returned to the barracks, clenched his fists and raised his head in laughter, which scared the officers who came to inquire about the situation and shrank their necks.

After laughing wildly for a long time, Wang Zhicai looked at the captains and lieutenants who were looking for him with a bright smile, no longer the bitter image he had during the day.

"Team...captain?"

"Oh, it's you guys, come on, come on, get another plate of peanuts, I'm telling you we've made a fortune!"

Several lieutenants were very excited when they heard this, and quickly brought food and drinks to listen to Wang Zhi explain the details of the transaction.

"I'm telling you, Xinyuan Company wants three planes. How much do you think they are willing to pay for maintenance?"

Seeing several people shaking their heads, Wang Zhi stretched out five fingers.

"Five million, a whole five million! Vice Captain Zhang, tell me how much we can earn!"

"hiss!"

The vice-captain who was called took a deep breath and counted on his fingers:

"The Tu 154 is always a bit old, but repairing the electrical pipelines will cost you at most 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The engine...inventory does not count. Repairing one unit counts as 100,000 yuan. If there are missing parts, it is free to coordinate with friendly forces. Labor...we How much money is this worth? Just replacing one aircraft and upgrading the avionics only costs 500,000, and three aircraft cost 1.5 million.

Five million, five...five million, ah. "

"Vice Captain, Vice Captain, what's wrong with you!"

"Quickly pinch people!"

It took a long time for Vice Captain Zhang to recover. He stroked his heart to calm down and asked:

"What about flying? How much does it cost?"

"Two hundred thousand! Our cost is at most 70,000, and we make 130,000 in one go!"

"ah!"

Vice Captain Zhang lay down again.

…

Lin Ju was leaving the next day, and Wang Zhifei also expressed regret, because a Tu-154 had been repaired. If he had waited a little longer for a test flight, he could take Lin Ju back to experience a special aircraft.

Although the latter was very tempting, when I thought of the several major accidents in Figure 154... forget it, my life was at stake, so I politely declined.

He had to go back to the factory and watch the test launch of Xinyuan-1B.

Xinyuan-1B is a two-stage liquid oxygen and kerosene rocket. The diameter of the first and second stages is 3.5 meters and the height is 39 meters. The abbreviation code is X1B.

It uses the K120V reusable engine: K120 itself has great reusability potential, but the ignition system was slightly modified. It was put on the rocket after a week of ground testing.

The most important thing is the four black brackets attached to the rocket body on Xinyuan-1B, which will fall down to serve as supporting legs when the rocket is recovered.

The core of Xinyuan-1 is the recovery control system from the system and the RX01 data bus that surpasses the current human 1553B.

Compared with 1553B, it has larger bandwidth, stronger anti-interference ability, doubled multi-channel simultaneous processing capability, and overall improved reliability.

The first launch of Xinyuan-1B was very radical. It required experiments on a new 3.5-meter rocket body, a K120V reusable engine, a grille rudder to control precise landing points, and high-strength supporting legs, etc. at once. The degree of radicalness Comparable to the Soviet Union launching the N1 rocket.

But the system engineers have sufficient confidence, because according to their experience and the system's reliable technical data, the launch success rate of Xinyuan-1B is 98.9%, and the recovery success rate is 97%, which is completely worth a gamble.

Besides, wouldn’t it save money to test together?

The last point successfully convinced Lin Ju, so he approved the launch of Xinyuan-1B.

The launch should not be a big problem. The recovery place is in the wilderness. Even if it explodes with only a few tons of fuel, there will be no pollution from liquid oxygen and kerosene, and the local government can approve it.

Three days before the launch, the rocket was undergoing final testing in the assembly workshop in preparation for transfer. Xinyuan Aerospace also announced the launch to the public at the same time.

The actual rocket was displayed, which immediately caused waves in the aerospace industry. Even Lao Ma retweeted and liked this on Little Blue Bird:

I blew up so many rockets, and finally someone came to take the scorn with me!
