As the largest private air transport company in China, Chen Shui, the current head of Hainan Airlines, undoubtedly has the most say. Seeing the huge thing in front of me, I asked a series of professional questions. The people next to you listened carefully.
Even Zhang Jingyuan had never heard of many professional questions, but the engineers from the master company answered them fluently, and their various professional words continued to stimulate all the rich people present.
But I don’t understand anything else, but everyone can understand one thing: the cost of the aircraft—well, the selling price is 750 billion yuan! Just nine S001 engines with a thrust of 150 tons are worth more than 600 billion yuan; this price is calculated based on the cost price - God knows how the master company calculated the cost price.
In fact, no one knows that as the technology of Gaoshou Company matures, the cost of a k01 engine is about 1 billion yuan, S01 is 1.1 billion yuan, and the cost of s001 is only 1.5 billion yuan. However, for business, if others don’t have it, you can charge a lot of money, right?
But no matter what, the space shuttle with a total value of 750 billion yuan, although the people present were amazed, they had to admit that it was really worth the price!
Just because the Rise space shuttle in front of us can do it: it can travel to and from low-Earth orbit every two hours, carrying 600 tons of supplies. After the construction is successful, only the labor costs, depreciation costs, maintenance fees, energy consumption costs, etc. are calculated. The material transportation cost per kilogram is 100 yuan!
In this era, everyone knows that the international aerospace cost price is US$1,000 per gram. Even with the contributions of expert companies to the world and the great progress in technology, the cost is still at 1,000 US dollars per gram. Fluctuating around $500 per gram. Calculated, the transportation cost per kilogram is as high as $500,000! This is no wonder why various countries are so nervous after Gaoshou Company launched its space express business.
But now, the transportation cost of Gaoshou Company has been reduced to 100 yuan per kilogram, which is still the limit of Chinese currency, making everyone's eyes red.
In space construction, what is the biggest obstacle now? transportation! Logistics and transportation! This is the biggest, if not the only, problem! And as long as this problem is solved, the construction of the space base will basically be without difficulty! Technologies such as sealing, oxygen supply, rotating gravity, energy, etc. are now mature, and generally a comprehensive private enterprise can solve these problems.
Now, 20,000 people are discussing continuously around here, and the noisy voices are gushing, like generals rushing - very noisy! But no one cared. Looking ahead, with the help of a robotic arm, the Rise space shuttle is being rapidly formed. Everyone is full of excitement and confidence!
"Everyone," Zhang Jingyuan's loud and mighty voice interrupted everyone's discussion, "it's getting a little late today, and everyone is tired from the journey. Please make do with it in the cafeteria of the master company later and have an early rest.
Tomorrow, I will ask all the special chefs in the cafeteria to prepare a feast for everyone to reward everyone. We have a day off tomorrow and we will continue to discuss cooperation the day after tomorrow. ”
"Okay, thank you for your concern, Boss Zhang!" The noisy environment is really unbelievable. There are actually big bosses and rich bosses with billions of dollars here.
However, Zhang Jingyuan said that letting everyone rest tonight and tomorrow is not a simple rest, but gives everyone time to think and discuss. Find out how to prepare to work with a master firm.
It's just that Zhang Jingyuan and other senior executives of the master company have left, but no one inside has left. Of course, photography is prohibited on site, but everyone consciously abides by it. But around the aircraft and the huge equipment, all the bosses were like curious babies, asking about this and that.
Finally, a boss couldn't bear it anymore, and it was none other than Yu Yuanhang, the real estate tycoon in the capital.
"Well, hello Mr. Dongfang, I have a question, but I am a layman. Please forgive me if I ask something that I shouldn't ask, or if I sound like a layman."
"It's okay, please ask." Dongfang Ying smiled kindly. Not surprisingly, at least half of the people here will be colleagues in the future. Of course, as one of the most respected chief engineers in a master company, and a person who has reached the sixth level of Qi training, there is no need to worry that these people can reach their leadership level just because of investment. In the final analysis, their investment is only to share a small profit, not power. When it comes to power management, master companies almost always stick to their word.
"I remember you said that this aircraft carries a total of 400 million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy, and the power of each engine is 1.8 million kilowatt-hours, and the nine engines are 16.2 million kilowatt-hours. Each takeoff and landing takes two hours, and consumes 32.4 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
According to the current electricity cost of two yuan per kilowatt hour, the electricity cost per flight alone is 64.8 million yuan. Calculated based on a load capacity of 600 tons, the cost per ton is 108,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the electricity cost price of 108 yuan per kilogram for freight. And if other costs are added, the transportation price per kilogram far exceeds the 100 yuan that Boss Zhang said! ”
"Boss Yu is really attentive. I can answer this question for you. First of all, we have signed a strategic cooperation plan with the country, and the nuclear power plant is sold to the master company at 0.5 yuan per kilowatt hour. This is one point.
Another point is that not all engines must be working for the aircraft to take off. Three of them are actually spares. When taking off in the atmosphere, we can rely on the buoyancy of the air; when we reach high altitudes, the gravity is also reduced, and basically six engines can meet the load.
It also only takes about 20 minutes for the plane to fly out of the atmosphere, and consumes almost no power during the rest of the time. When the plane returns to the ground, it uses a lazy landing method (turn off the engine, free fall, and completely rely on the aerodynamics of the plane). Design flight), so in total, the cost of electricity alone is about seven or eight yuan per kilogram. ”
"Oh...I have learned a lesson!"
Afterwards, everyone asked questions one after another, and the engineers tried their best to answer those that could be answered; if it involved confidentiality, they just smiled and said nothing; but everyone is also a sensible person, and they will be satisfied if they can get what they want.
Basically, engineers will answer most of the questions. This even includes life-saving designs for future space bases. Of course, the space base is still on paper, and the so-called life-saving design is just an idea.
However, such an explanation also brings great benefits. Just like what Zhang Jingyuan said, seeing is believing, and the huge aircraft in front of us provided everyone with great confidence. After solving the problem of low-cost transportation, the feasibility of the master company to establish a space base has no problem at all!
"I'm going to sell all the capital on the ground. Although it will cause some losses in a short period of time, we can still gather about 130 billion yuan in funds! And it's cash!" Yu Yuanhang didn't know whether he was talking to himself or someone else. But it looks like he's doing some serious thinking.
I can spend 50 billion yuan!
I can spend 2 billion yuan...
……
In the distance, Zhang Jingyuan looked at the crazy scene with a smile on his lips. What you want is this effect! In a short period of time, those with less than 10 billion yuan have begun to find people to form a group and jointly contribute funds. Those who can afford 10 billion yuan will directly find a master company to sign an agreement. However, the master company tells everyone to think carefully about this. It will not officially start until tomorrow anyway, so everyone should consider it comprehensively.
