Chapter 318 What you said is right, but what you said is wrong
In one sentence, the logic of the two men was confused.
Yan Tao and Yang Qifeng were urged to come to the meeting by three arrows, and they were probably worried.
It is estimated that the young boss lady wants to hear a report about Thousand-Hand Guanyin.
Since Cao Zihua and Xie Chaowen have other appointments, Yan Tao is currently in charge of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, followed by Yang Qifeng. The entire responsibility lies with the reorganized Luojiashan Laboratory.
Before they came, they also prepared some high-sounding reports to report to the little boss lady.
What they didn't expect was that the young proprietress hit the ball straight up, and hit the ball directly in the face, leaving the two of them confused.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but they couldn't come up with the right words.
They said with deep heart that they don't know exactly when Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara will go to heaven.
So I could only settle for the next best thing and start talking to the little boss lady about the difficulties.
"At present, Lanque 3 is already undergoing dynamic ignition test..."
"Wait a minute." Wei Xiao suddenly interrupted Yang Qifeng's report. "Lanque No. 3?"
"Yes, Mr. Wei."
"Where did No. 2 go?"
"Lanque 2 was rejected due to technical route issues, and it is now abandoned."
"????"
Wei Xiao was quite busy during this period and did not have the energy to ask about Thousand-Hand Guanyin. He wanted to leave professional matters to professionals.
But he didn't pay attention to himself.
The rocket model directly crossed a generation.
Your hands are too fast!
"You mean, the money spent on Lanque 2 was wasted???"
Yan Tao stood up and bravely took responsibility as the leader: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry. As the leader of Luojia Mountain, I take full responsibility for No. 2's mistakes."
"No, the main reason is that my original idea was too radical and I didn't consider the overall situation. I take full responsibility." Yang Qifeng stood up to fight for it, as if he was a teacher and a filial piety.
"Don't grab it...we all have a share...I remember it all."
The look in Wei Xiaoyin's eyes made her think that no one could escape.
For her now, time is money.
As the progress of the project increases, the patience of Party A Xu Chuang and other investors is declining.
At the same time, capital market interest in commercial spaceflight is also declining.
Therefore, the value of Thousand-Hand Guanyin is depreciating day by day.
And because he placed all his bets on Thousand-Hand Guanyin, the group's business seemed to be drained.
Coupled with the backstab of financial capital, the capital chain is very pessimistic.
Time is money and money is money.
If the rocket doesn't get to the sky, the company may have to.
The No. 1 launch failed, the No. 2 project was overturned, the No. 3...
Wei Xiao didn't dare to think further, so he could only bite the bullet and ask: "What's the progress on the 3rd now?"
After Yan Tao and Yang Qifeng showed humility to each other, Yan Tao took the microphone.
"It is already undergoing dynamic testing. At present, the rocket has achieved a grasshopper jump of 1.3 kilometers."
"Is this good news?"
"Forget it, because of Mr. Chen's suggestion, we chose the stud mode in the design route of the rocket, which is the mode of recovering first and then entering orbit. The current altitude of 1.3 kilometers has set a domestic record."
Wei Xiao had learned about this situation before.
There are two technical routes in this field.
1. Recycle first and then put it into orbit.
2. Put it into orbit first and then recover it.
What Mr. Yan and his team call stud means that they have invested all their resources and funds into the most difficult part of recycling.
Get the hardest part out of the way first, then consider other features.
This is like doing math questions. Some people like to do the last big question first when they get the paper.
Usually those who do this are top academics.
But the risk of doing this is also very high.
Once you don't know the last big question, or you take a long time to do it, your scores will be extremely unstable, and you may even fail, and a top student will become a bad student in an instant.
Suo Wei Xiao complained about this: "Chen Chen asked you to stud?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen said that since we are going to do it, we must do it solidly. The foundation of rocket delivery lies in the delivery cost. If we do not complete the research on recyclable technology, rocket delivery will be a false proposition."
Yan Tao just quoted Chen Chen's words, but Wei Xiao said fiercely: "He knows something."
"??"
Yan Tao and Yang Qifeng were speechless.
If Mr. Chen knows something, then everyone else in the company knows nothing.
Wei Xiao then added: "Of course, I'm not talking about technology, I'm just talking about strategy. I think the Thousand-Hand Guanyin project must firmly choose the model of first entering orbit and then recycling. It is more reliable to do multiple-choice questions first, and how many people can be fooled right?" Just try to protect yourself first.”
She can understand Chen Chen's work and complete the project in a down-to-earth manner.
Adopting the stud model to study recycling first is the path taken by most domestic private aerospace companies.
Only after solving the problem of recycling can the project be sustainable and proceed steadily.
But she doesn't need to.
All she wants now is heaven.
Yan Tao raised some doubts of his own: "We think what Mr. Chen said makes sense. Choosing to recycle first is more reliable than choosing to go into orbit first. After all, if the recycling problem is not solved, express delivery has always been a false proposition."
"You're right, but I don't think what you're saying is right."
Wei Xiao's attitude was firm.
It is more reliable to recycle first.
But being reliable is of no use to me.
The purpose of establishing Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara is to achieve it within a short period of time, just once. Who cares whether the rocket will fly back in the end?
yes.
The cost of developing rockets is very high, and it would be a pity to throw them up and use them only once.
But with Brother Tongzi footing the bill, Wei Xiao doesn't need to think about that at all, she only wants one result.
But she couldn't express these words clearly, so she could only come up with a few reasons openly.
"Everyone, the current situation of the company is not very healthy. Our first priority is to survive."
"For the Thousand-Hand Guanyin project, I first need to see a clear motivation point, which is the road to heaven."
“Only in this way can we provide practical help to the company.”
"Of course, I know that Mr. Chen and all the chief engineers have their own reasons for choosing the Stud route, but we are still more realistic at the moment and must choose the route that goes into orbit first."
Yan Tao took a deep breath, looking very difficult.
They have also heard about the company's situation recently, and they really can't say it's good.
Maybe the small boss also has his own difficulties.
"I still reserve my opinion."
Wei Xiao raised his head: "Then you keep it, and I'll ask you if you choose the first-to-orbit mode. Can the cargo compartment go to space smoothly?"
"Okay."
“What’s the success rate?”
Yan Tao sighed softly and explained: "Then we should adopt the route of Lanque 2. This aspect is already very mature. To be honest, you can do it with your eyes closed."
"No! It's better to open your eyes. Are there any other difficulties?"
Yan Tao raised his head and thought for a while: "The only difficulty is that recently all the engineering talents of the group have been transferred to another project by Mr. Chen, so the manpower is a bit short."
"What kind of talent do you need? How many."
"Of course the more talents, the better. Recently, Director Cao and Director Xie are too busy to take care of this."
Wei Xiao made an OK gesture: "I'll help you shake people up, and you can just change the plan."
"Ah? Is this an order?" Yan Tao was caught off guard.
"Yes."
"Should I mention it to Mr. Chen?"
"I will notify Xiao Chen."
Wei Xiao pouted, thinking that without him, Lanque might die on the morning of the 2nd.
She could understand Chen Chen's kindness, but she couldn't accept it.
Express delivery is only delivered once, as long as it goes to heaven, who cares whether it is recycled or not?
Wei Xiao felt that he had to take action.
If Chen Chen does not personally take charge of the project, Chen Chen will definitely extend the project's construction period indefinitely, which may be longer than Shunfeng's life.
Ten minutes later, Yan Tao and Yang Qifeng left the meeting and went to the corridor to light a cigarette each.
To be honest, the two of them were a little dissatisfied with the little boss lady's attitude today.
Although Wei Xiao used to be arbitrary, she respected technology.
As long as the engineer chooses the route, Wei Xiao will unconditionally agree.
Take the project at hand as an example.
Although there were twists and turns in the early stage, the project team later reached a consensus and felt that the stud model of recycling first was the future.
"Teacher, are you sure you don't want to persuade me anymore?" Yang Qifeng looked out the window reluctantly.
"I don't want to persuade you anymore. Private enterprises have their advantages and limitations. Since you have chosen private enterprises, respect them."
There was also a hint of unwillingness in Yan Tao's words.
If you choose to enter orbit first, the technical difficulty will be much smaller.
Because the technology of using launch vehicles to deliver cargo into orbit has been very mature years ago.
Especially for Yan Tao and the others.
If recycling is not required, they can immediately purchase equipment from several institutes under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China and assemble a launch vehicle at will.
The cost is not low, the carrying capacity is not high, and there is almost no cost performance.
But it can get into orbit.
There are also some commercial aerospace companies in the industry that have chosen this route.
Their foothold is in financing.
So those companies choose to launch rockets into orbit first, and then use satellites in orbit to raise funds.
With commercial aerospace in full swing, the capital in this field is no less than that in the car manufacturing industry.
A rocket in orbit seems more reliable than a stud mode with nothing at all.
Therefore, Yan Tao can also understand the reason why Wei Xiao chose this path.
"We are even a little ahead of our peers. Our rocket can at least perform a grasshopper jump of more than 1 kilometer."
"That's what I say, but I always feel that it doesn't make much sense to send the express into orbit first."
Yan Tao shook his head: "I don't doubt this. When General Wei chose to go unmanned, everyone thought it was of little significance. Didn't they just come out anyway?"
He believed that Wei Xiao chose to fall into the trap because of the passive influence of time and money.
Instead of trying to actively raise funds like other companies.
The commercial aerospace industry being developed by that wave of people may not really mean much.
What Shunfeng does must be meaningful.
Just like the two-tailed scorpion back then, if everyone thought it was not enough trouble, they would definitely lose money.
But now.
Shunfeng already has a complete fleet of Twin-tailed Scorpion aircraft and two fixed unmanned routes, not to mention Twin-tailed Scorpion's contribution to the national defense field.
"Well, as long as Mr. Chen agrees, we will start changing the plan." Yang Qifeng felt worried that the only obstacle might be Chen Chen. “The only thing is that I don’t know how Mr. Wei can convince Mr. Chen.”
"Don't worry about the things that happen at the end of the bed as a couple."
