I Have a Little Black Hole

You can't say something good! We can say that the rocket engine is a finished product now. It has been tested many times on the engine test bench, and many simulation experiments have been carried out using the company's artificial intelligence. !

And we are testing one shot and one shot. The purpose of the boss asking us to manufacture 4 engines at the same time is to find problems. If the front engine finds a problem, we can immediately modify the back engine, and then in the shortest time. One more test can be done.

Although there is a suspicion of wasting resources in this way, there is no way to estimate the time cost saved, otherwise how can the recovery test of the rocket engine be completed in a short time!

And if our 4 rocket engines have passed the recovery test 3 times, then they are not useless!

Know that our rocket engines are designed to last 20 times! This is far more than the 10 recoveries of the Falcon 9. The number of recoverable launches refers to the number of times that are not refurbished, but simply replace some parts that must be replaced.

Because our rocket engine is made of the best-performing materials developed by our company, and many parts are also forged with our company's 100,000-ton hydraulic die forging press, the comprehensive performance of the parts is very good. , If it is overhauled, it can be recycled and used at least 100 times!

So if there is no problem with the test of these rocket engines, they can be used in the next official launch as long as they are maintained later, so you don't have to worry that our side will delay the launch company's space telescope and satellite time! Xiong Antai retorted.

That's good, you also know how fierce the competition for satellite orbits is now, because of the height and frequency requirements, the total number of satellite orbit resources is limited.

On each orbit, only a certain number of satellites can be dropped evenly according to a certain interval angle without rear-ending. Currently, the most sought-after geostationary orbit has already exceeded its capacity, and technology has had to be developed to allow two or three satellites to be squeezed into the same position.

The first three satellites that our company needs to launch now are geosynchronous orbit satellites. When applying for orbital resources, the company also spent a lot of costs. If we delay for a long time, these orbits are not used within the specified time. , these orbital resources may be occupied by other countries!

Although other orbits are still far from full, no one is willing to be left behind under the stimulation of first come, first served. There are still many satellites orbiting the earth behind our company that need to be launched. These orbits orbiting the earth The satellite will form our own satellite network with 3 geosynchronous orbit satellites.

So the rocket launch time can't be delayed at all! Zhang Hanxiu sighed and explained.

Haha! Don't worry! Don't look at how much money our boss has piled up for this project to come up with such a good foundation! It's just the money used to buy various materials for us to study and research, as far as I know. More than 500 million US dollars, this figure is still a conservative estimate!

But as long as we compare it, we can know how much our company has invested. The boss has spent nearly 20 billion US dollars for our current rocket project, which is less than 2 years!

Last year, 17 companies in our country received investment in the field of private space launch, with a total amount of 2.16 billion yuan. Since the beginning of this summer, four private space launch companies have obtained financing of 100 million to 200 million yuan respectively. .

Only last year did private investors invest a 'record' US$3.9 billion in commercial space companies, which is a global figure, less than a quarter of even our company's!

In this comparison, our company is really a mudslide in the aerospace industry! Our company not only has a large scale of investment, but our company is also a company that has mastered the complete technology of rocket research and development.

Many of those domestic private space launch companies use the parts on the market to assemble them, and then say that this is a rocket developed by ourselves, and there are constant problems when launching, because the quality and adaptability of the parts are their own. There is no way to control it.

Although our current rocket has not been officially launched, I am very confident in our rocket, because almost all the parts are designed and manufactured by ourselves, and the quality control is even better. The company can't keep up! Xiong Antai said triumphantly about his own advantages.

Zhang Hanxiu was also very proud of what Xiong Andai said, and he smiled: Otherwise, why would our company attract us people to join us!

If you have money, you can really do whatever you want in scientific research. Look at it. After our company's rockets are successfully launched a few times, more people will sharpen their heads and want to run to our company. In today's society, you If you want to engage in scientific and technological research and development, it is really difficult to do without money.

Those other space launch companies you mentioned are doing technology research and development by attracting various investments, but what kind of good technology can be developed with just a little money, and any materials you buy will have to be buckled, even if you buy them back In order to save money, investors also intervene in various ways.

It's not as cool as we are now, as long as it's not intentional waste, we can use whatever materials we want, and the boss will get us back whatever equipment we want. This is not attractive to those who are engaged in R\u0026D. too big!

Haha, how else would I say that our company is a debris flow in the aerospace industry! Come on, there is nothing to see here, just as the yacht that the boss bought has already arrived here, let's take the yacht to see our sea Test the recycling platform!

It is the key to whether our rocket engine can be recovered accurately. You must know that for the technology of this offshore recovery platform, the boss has done a lot of technical exchanges with the country's aerospace department!

Many technologies on the recycling platform cannot be bought by our company, and it takes a long time to accumulate technologies. Technologies such as vibration balance system, shock absorption system, etc. require a lot of data to support! Xiong Andai said with a smile.

Okay! I'm here to see it this time. But our boss's yacht seems to cost nearly 100 million yuan, right? How can it be bought by the way? Zhang Hanxiu asked with a smile.
