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

According to international practice, those with a LEO (Low Earth Orbit Capacity) of less than 30 tons are usually called medium and small rockets, those with a LEO capacity of 30 to 50 tons are called heavy rockets, and those with a LEO capacity of more than 100 tons are called super heavy or giant rockets.

The success of Xinyuan-2 marks that China Aerospace has entered a heavy-duty era and is capable of building large-scale space stations and carrying out large-scale unmanned deep space exploration missions.

This is the fourth political entity after Aramco, Lucia, and the European Union, and it is also the first private space company in the world to have this capability (Lao Ma’s Falcon Heavy has not yet been launched).

At the same time, Xinyuan-2 also leads the way and sets multiple records in terms of recyclability, fuel and rocket body size.

Lucia Space Agency and NACA are beating their chests and wondering why the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of Xinyuan 2 were let go and showed such great achievements as soon as they returned to China? This must be an institutional problem!

Next week's "TIMES" has been revealed to feature Lin Ju as the cover, and an appointment application has been submitted.

On the Internet, Lin Ju went against the general trend of domestic manufacturers being scolded and debuted as "Director Lin".

This naturally stems from Lin Ju's identity as a former tractor factory owner. Originally, Factory Manager Lin was still a term of endearment used by old employees, but now everyone calls him that.

Crown Prince Hamand also congratulated Lin Ju, saying that a hand-customized luxury sports car that he had never driven before had been loaded on the plane from Arbor and would land on the ground in Xinyuan in two days.

But here Crown Prince Hamand discovered a serious problem: Lin Ju didn’t even have his own manor!

Lin Ju has been living in the company for a long time. The system's C-level base includes dormitories, which are available for single and double people. As the BOSS, Lin Ju has direct access to a small building, which is extremely luxurious.

Of course, another purpose here is as a place to convene engineers for meetings, which is convenient and safe.

But in Hamand's view, Lin Ju was too frugal and must have invested all his money in scientific research. If Lin Ju hadn't tried his best to shirk him, he would have bought a building in a local villa area and given it away.

Lin Ju naturally felt that it was unnecessary. He was alone and had no habit of using servants. The company dormitory was already an excellent place to live.

Loyal staff protect his safety, and no one dares to come in to harass him. He can see the spacecraft leaving the factory anytime and anywhere. Is there any more wonderful place than this?

As for the crown prince's sports car, which was shipped without prior notice, Lin Ju had no choice but to accept it and treat it as a collectible handicraft.

Don’t think that a hand-customized sports car worth tens of millions of dollars is a perfect artifact. In fact, it is extremely delicate. The engine may need to be overhauled in a thousand hours, and the structure is fragile and troublesome to repair. It requires a whole day of maintenance if it is not driven for an hour. It really is. Toys for rich people.

Speaking of cars, Lin Ju took out a stack of design sketches.

Chen Jun found many solutions from Southern Automotive that had excellent conceptual designs and also had mass production potential, and sent them to Lin Ju for him to choose.

The reason for this request was that Lin Ju thought of a routine commonly used by new brands in later generations: crowdfunding to build cars.

That is to say, if the car manufacturer doesn't have one yet, they will first draw up a plan, then build a prototype car, and then ask users to pay a deposit in advance to make an appointment. Only after the manufacturer collects the money can they start mass production and finally deliver it.

The whole process can take as short as one year, or as long as two years, or even end in the end when the founder runs away.

But there were still many people paying money. Lin Ju couldn't figure out why, but it didn't stop him from doing it.

He has to choose a plan that is creative and beautiful enough. Chen Jun guarantees that it will take only a few days to build a car shell that cannot be opened, and then use space to warm up the Xinyuan car.

Then he took advantage of his fame to crowdfund and build a car, not because he was short of money, but because he wanted to start grabbing users now.

It not only gives Xinan time to make progress in research and development, but also allows it to enter the automobile market with a superior attitude.

Isn't that wonderful?

As for how to choose, it was very simple. Just try to move closer to the development direction of later generations. Lin Ju quickly picked out the design of a two-door, two-row coupe, which looked very streamlined and had a relatively complete concept design.

Southern Motor also hopes to build a 2T luxury SUV prototype that they had originally given up but rekindled hopes for, which would correspond to the two unmanned launch missions of two H1s.

Lin Ju also agreed, assuming that the simulated counterweight had no impact on the launch mission, and that the promotion of the sub-brand Xinan did not charge money, so Xinyuan increased its shareholding instead, but Southern Motor's new cars required additional payment. And it’s expensive: a flat price of 88 million.

This is really a hemorrhage. Although Southern Motor's profit has increased by more than 20% this year, the company's big business has more places to spend, which is enough to show their importance.

The first stage of the Xinyuan-2 Yaoyi rocket is now placed in the No. 2 final assembly building of the Qiongzhou launch site. Engineers from Xinyuan are evaluating it. If there are no quality defects due to recycling, there is actually no need to return it to the factory. The maintenance can be completed locally, and the new second stage can be replaced and launched.

The shortest cycle is 18 days, which is very fast for a heavy-lift rocket.

On the seventh day after launch, the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket completed the factory test and was transported to Xinyuan City Airport to prepare for transfer.

The two rockets of Xinyuan-2, Yao-1 and Yao-2, will be used alternately to verify and prepare for manned flights. One rocket will be launched and the other will be available at any time.

Three days ago, the Progress was hoisted at Ulan Hashan Airport and reinstalled on the back of the Tu-154.

She has flown to Xinyuan for a week of inspection before being sent to the Qiongzhou launch site for her first unmanned space flight on June 15.

As for Unity, the second H1 unit, the final electrical equipment is being installed and debugged at the factory and is on standby as a backup unit.

…

In Beijing, the space agency held high-level meetings for a week.

The surrounding question is how China's future aerospace engineering should be adjusted.

Xinyuan Aerospace has powerful technology and cannot be excluded from the plan, but how to participate and how much participation is a question, and is it reliable if it participates?

When it comes to such a major matter as aerospace, no one dares to make decisions easily, so I finally wrote two reports and submitted them to the highest level.

One is a dense eight-part essay for outsiders to see, and the other is a simple suggestion of less than 2,000 words.

The superiors acted resolutely and believed in the judgment of the old aerospace company, so they directly gave their opinion: Should it be used by private aerospace companies? Yes, but it depends on the technical level and credibility; should the space program be adjusted? Adjustment, why not adjust if there is a way to speed it up, but no rash advancement is allowed, strict approval is still required; in addition, the space agency can start to catch up with the advanced aerospace sequence based on the level of its own technology in the world, combined with outstanding domestic private enterprises.

Translated, it means: Xinyuan Aerospace is very powerful and can accelerate the space program; as for which ones can participate and which ones cannot be decided by you, you are the ones responsible; also, work hard to improve technology, don’t continue to lag behind, lack of Money to make a report.

The space agency is already overjoyed with this result. This is an imperial decree telling them that they can increase funding!

Does it cost money to adjust the space program? Does it cost money to catch up with the advanced world? The superiors knew about it but still allowed it, which means that this year’s unplanned budget can also be approved!

In 2015, China has begun to enter an era of rapid economic and technological growth, and funds are no longer the biggest limiting factor.

Some modeling is placed in the book review area...just take a look, the trainees have tried their best~
