Chapter 117 Big Order
After handing over to Huaguo Technology Import and Export Corporation, they spread the word that recyclable rocket technology can be traded through their more than 30 offices around the world. Out.
Of course, Da Mao was not the only one who came to our door. Countries that were somewhat ambitious about space, such as Neon, Asan, and Maple Leaf Kingdom, also came to our door.
It’s just that other countries have import and export corporations to help him get back, only Damao, because Chen Yuanguang is very interested in their rocket engine technology.
You must know that Damao’s Energy rocket is a super large rocket that can overwhelm Amerikan’s Saturn V in the Cold War era.
Chen Yuanguang was curious about how they did it back then.
After chatting with Da Mao, it turned out that as expected, the technical information of the Energy Rocket was still there, but it was incomplete. Da Mao himself could not rely on this technical information to reproduce the Energy Rocket.
American was able to land on the moon in the last century, but it will be difficult to launch a lunar probe in this century.
I still see that China is eager to return to the moon after launching a lunar probe.
America is a defect in the manufacturing industry. There are fewer and fewer blue-collar workers, and naturally there are fewer and fewer senior technicians based on blue-collar workers.
They can no longer pick up the technology of the past by rubbing it by hand.
As for Da Mao, it was during the turbulent years that it almost lost all its technology. There were reasons of its own and Amerikan’s. *** did a lot of trouble in Da Mao around 1991.
With various shock treatments and poaching Da Mao experts, it is no longer easy for Da Mao to have some technical information on the Energy Number.
Chen Yuanguang lost interest when he heard that the other party only had some technical information.
After chatting for a while, they left. Guangjia Aerospace made a list internally to see what aerospace technologies the countries that came to talk about had and which ones they were interested in.
This list was handed over to the Technology Import and Export Company, and they were responsible for the negotiations. The extent of the negotiation would depend on their ability.
After chatting with Mao Zi and the Europeans one after another, Chen Yuanguang felt deeply that Amerikan was everywhere.
Cooperating with Europe Lao depends on what American does now, and cooperating with Damao depends on what American has done in history.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yuanguang. I am very happy to meet so many aerospace experts here and communicate with you." After chatting with the guests, it is about China's own internal affairs.
The successful launch of Guangjia Aerospace's bundled recyclable rocket, whether it is the successful delivery of five satellites into the predetermined orbit, or the precise delivery of recovered parts into the sea, has made China Airlines full of interest.
Everyone is very curious. The progress of Guangjia Aerospace led by Chen Yuanguang is as good as cheating. In just two years, it can complete the five-year journey of SpaceX.
You must know that SpaceX is backed by NASA and the American military, while China has not cooperated with Guangjia Aerospace except for poaching a few people.
In such an environment, Guangjia Aerospace has made unprecedented achievements.
This seminar was based on the principle of proximity. It was held in the conference hall of a five-star hotel in Yantai. Before it started, Chinese officials had checked three times to see if there were any sensitive equipment.
Afraid of being hacked and overhearing sensitive information.
There are a lot of jokes in Europe because the Air Force directly uses unencrypted WebEX for meetings because the awareness of confidentiality is not strong enough.
Including a secret meeting of ministers of EU member states held through Zoom, and then reporters guessed the password and broke in directly.
The sea launch of Guangjia Aerospace’s recyclable rocket is considered a hot event globally, so you can never go wrong with caution.
“Let me briefly explain to you some of the technical points in Guangjia Aerospace’s rocket launch. If you are interested, welcome to discuss.”
Chen Yuanguang held such an internal press conference. The most important reason for this academic discussion meeting is to promote light armor aerospace to these experts.
Maybe one day if you are not happy working in the research institute, you will be hired to work in the Light Armor Aerospace.
Among the experts and scholars within the organization, there are more liberal arts experts. Most of them rely on the organization to survive, and on the other hand they are proud of criticizing the organization for interpreting scriptures in the West. Most experts in science and engineering have two brushes in their hands. .
Chen Yuanguang still wants to recruit some people to enrich the personnel structure of Guangjia Aerospace. The current structure, in which more than 95% of young people have master's degrees and Ph.D.s, is too simple.
The consequence of a single organizational structure is that everyone lacks experience. Many things need to be pitted before they know how to do them better.
Chen Yuanguang cannot manage everything in detail, even if he is a superman, he cannot do it.
What he values most is the experience of these experts, not only in aerospace projects, but also in leading people.
“I will talk about it in two parts. The first is the one-arrow multi-star technology. The one-arrow multi-star technology is a very old technology. In 1960, Americen achieved two stars with one arrow and two stars with one arrow. Years ago, SpaceX created a history of 143 satellites in one rocket.
So Guangjia Aerospace’s one rocket and five satellites this time is nothing.” Chen Yuanguang was wearing a loose T-shirt, looking more like a trip than a meeting, he stood. He laughed at himself on stage.
“Since I want to talk about it, naturally it is still different from other one-rocket multiple satellites, that is, we have achieved high-precision one-rocket multiple satellites and multi-orbit launches.
Previous one The launch of a multi-satellite rocket starts with the separation of the fairing and the separation of the carrier. This kind of release is mostly a single release, which puts the satellites almost in the same orbit.
The difficulty with such a launch method is simply to solve the possible collision problem when a large number of satellites are released when the satellites and rockets are separated.
The other is to send the satellites one by one to the orbit they should go to.
We sent five satellites to five different orbits this time.
And the last orbit selection is the orbit height determined by our staff at the Yantai launch base after launch. ”
The experts present were in an uproar. Everyone can understand that the latter is too difficult, which is equivalent to you being able to control the rocket after it is launched.
Considering that the rocket burns out of fuel after launch, its speed can no longer be controlled after entering orbit.
If this can be done, it means that this technology can be applied to missiles and can help missiles bypass anti-missile systems.
This is too important for China. Originally, a thousand intercontinental missiles could only hit one-third of American’s homeland across the sea, and the remaining two-thirds were lost to American. The missile interception system intercepted it.
Applying this technology to intercontinental missiles will at least double the launch success rate.
Before Chen Yuanguang could continue speaking, Director Wu stood up quickly: "That's it for today's meeting. Everyone must have a basic level of sensitivity. Nothing that happens here can be leaked after leaving."
"I think everyone has an idea of what can be said and what cannot be said."
"After returning to Yanjing, we will find another venue to hold this meeting again."
If this technology is If the technology is self-developed within the Huaguo Scientific Research Institute, it is subject to the highest level of confidentiality. Employees related to this technology within Guangjia Aerospace are being zhengshen one by one.
A somewhat technical inventory found that this kind of technology exists in China.
The experts were waiting in the conference room to return to Yanjing together. Bureau Wu received a call and was already urgently dispatching a passenger plane to take them back to Yanjing.
"Yuan Guang, if I had known this, you should have communicated with me in advance the content of today's lecture." Director Wu's face was almost wrinkled, and he had no scholarly temperament at all.
“This technology is too sensitive, and the degree of sensitivity cannot be discussed here.”
Chen Yuanguang disagreed: “I don’t think it is very sensitive, just adding electric thrusters to the rocket. A set of equipment has been built that can continue to operate in space.
It can still be used after the rocket enters space. It requires a lot of modifications to adapt to the speed of the intercontinental missile. It is difficult to change the power of electric thrusters.
The difficulty lies in precise remote control, which ultimately lies in the control system. ”
Chen Yuanguang saw that the other party's face was still not very good-looking, and continued: "After the rocket enters the vacuum environment, its speed, friction, and force are close to the ideal situation. How much force can the electric thruster change its orbit? It is easier to calculate the predetermined location.
This is also one of the prerequisite technologies for asteroid mining in the future. We will not wait for the asteroid to come, we have to go. Only when it reaches that position
But although the intercontinental rocket will go outside the atmosphere during the launch process and will be higher than the exosphere, it will eventually come back and return to the atmosphere.
You can’t calculate its orbit.”
After Chen Yuanguang said this, Director Wu did not listen to him. Instead, he said: "Yuanguang, go back and take a look at the technical information. I will find an expert to study it carefully.
In addition, if there is any technical problem If you don’t understand, we may have to ask the person in charge of technology.”
Chen Yuanguang nodded: “No problem, I’ll go to Yanjing with you guys.
In addition, if we control the rocket in the end. If the orbit insertion technology is sensitive, we can castrate this function when making transactions.”
Seeing Chen Yuanguang’s straightforward agreement, Bureau Wu’s face finally looked better.
After returning to Yanjing, I first held a meeting with a large number of experts. After the ministries and commissions became active, they summoned experts from Chang'an, Shudu, Shenhai and other places.
Research and judge the feasibility of applying this technology in the military field.
As compensation for Guangjia Aerospace, part of the subsequent aerospace supply order for China’s Tiangong Space Station was given to Guangjia Aerospace.
It also includes the latest human hibernation equipment.
“Guangjia Aerospace has signed a contract with the Aerospace Science and Technology Group. This year Guangjia Aerospace will transport materials to the Tiangong Space Station through the Trailblazer 2 rocket.
This cooperation is the first time that a private commercial airline in China has undertaken the material transportation task of the Chinese space station. Pioneer 2 will transport the Tianzhou-6 cargo spacecraft developed by the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group to the Tiangong Space Station.
In addition to daily supplies and scientific research equipment for astronauts, this transportation will also include the latest generation of human hibernation equipment from Guangjia Technology.
Mr. Chen Yuanguang, founder of Guangjia Aerospace, was in Beijing with the Space Administration, Aerospace Science and Technology Group signed a three-party contract. ”
The red background of the signing ceremony was printed with the logos of Guangjia Aerospace and Aerospace Technology Group. Chen Yuanguang and the chairman of Aerospace Technology Group sat side by side at the signing table.
And the previous Aerospace Port For the news, only professional reporters and national media reporters came to cover the news, because when it came to Chen Yuanguang, many regional media also came, such as Jiemian, Sina, NetEase, and Caixin.
As a result, a full 200 people sat in the venue that was originally reserved for 80 people.
Chen Yuanguang has been very busy during this period. He has been working almost non-stop. He has met with many experts one after another and talked about their design ideas, how to ensure stability, and how to design electric thrusters.
I came to attend the signing ceremony today. The signing itself is secondary. The main purpose is to cover up his purpose of coming to Yanjing and provide strategic cover for the Trail Blazer II Rockets.
Chen Yuanguang was sitting on the stage, thinking that in order to attend this press conference, he went to Yanjing to have a suit custom-made.
"Mr. Chen, is Guangjia Aerospace confident in successfully transporting cargo into the Tiangong space station?"
"Of course we are confident that we will conduct sufficient experiments before transporting the cargo. The Pioneer 2 launched from the Yantai Maritime Launch Base last week successfully completed the mission of one rocket and five satellites.
The last recovered sensor The data on it will help us make the next rocket more reliable and more accurate in orbit than the previous one.
Because SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is ahead, we have ideas to refer to. During the launch process, we not only have specific data requirements, but also have a complete set of iteration plans to consider the rocket's high reliability, carrying capacity redundancy and orbit accuracy.
I. I think the biggest feature of the Trailblazer series of rockets is our systematic engineering design logic, which fully considers redundancy and high iterability.”
“Mr. Chen, we all know that you were mainly engaged in biomedicine. , including innovations in human hibernation, actually belong to the direction of medical devices in the field of biomedicine. After establishing Light Armor Aerospace, it also achieved great success in the commercial aerospace field
The development and launch of recyclable rockets have been achieved in just two years. Do you have any secrets? ”
The question asked by this reporter is a hot issue of widespread concern to the outside world. Chinese public opinion likes to attribute the success of successful people to various subjective reasons, such as people can overcome nature, hard work, hard work, etc.
Chen Yuanguang would not say this argument, "Because we have a strong R&D team, and the average age of our R&D team is less than 27 years old.
The young and powerful R&D team has both wild ideas and down-to-earth implementation paths. It is with the joint efforts of such an excellent team that Light Armor Aerospace can achieve such results in a short period of time. . ”
For problems that are difficult to explain, push it to the team.
The questions asked by the official media are all easy to answer, and most of them give full freedom of expression. You can say whatever you want.
But media like Caixin are not polite, they are very purposeful:
"Mr. Chen, I just heard you mention SpaceX's Falcon 9, I would like to ask There have been rumors that the technology of the Trail Blazer series rockets was borrowed from the Falcon 9, which is why the research and development of light armor technology is so fast. "
This is like saying that the technology of domestic new energy vehicles is derived from it. Tesla is equally unreliable. For those who believe this rhetoric, they will not believe it no matter how you explain it. Tesla disclosed its technology and China's new energy vehicle industry exploded. It is strange that there is no connection between these.
If the technology disclosed by Tesla is really so powerful, then why don’t the new energy vehicle industries in other countries explode? The biggest problem with this kind of rhetoric is that in their worldview there are only China and foreign countries.
Chen Yuanguang naturally heard the sinister intentions in the Caixin female reporter's question. As long as he dared to say what he could learn from, tomorrow the media would be talking about stealing SpaceX technology.
“The technology is completely self-developed. We only borrowed basic ideas from Falcon 9 in terms of design ideas, such as multi-engine bundling and distributed recycling.
It’s like Ford They were the first to create cars that ran on four wheels. Later, cars from companies such as Mercedes-Benz and General Motors all had four wheels. You can't say that they copied the design of Mercedes-Benz, because cars running on four wheels are stable enough.
The idea is universal. ”
Chen Yuanguang knows that even if he explains it this way, there will still be self-media that misinterprets its meaning. After all, only misinterpretation will generate traffic, and self-media rely on traffic to make a living.
Attending a press conference is much more tiring than attending an expert seminar. It is too tiring to fight with the media.
"Mr. Li, would you like to ask whether handing over the transportation of the Tiangong series space stations to private aerospace companies means that China's commercial aerospace will usher in new development opportunities.
National level orders will If part of it is given to private enterprises, China's commercial aerospace will usher in a golden age, or is this order only for light-armor aerospace?" The Caixin reporter's question to the chairman of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group was even more pointed.
Mr. Li is also a veteran, and he did not hesitate at all after hearing this: "Completely from a cost perspective, Guangjia Aerospace's quotation per kilogram is the lowest in its class.
Even better than our own. The Long March series of rockets developed by the company are even lower in transportation. We hope to give more opportunities to domestic private commercial space agencies
It is definitely not aimed at a certain enterprise, but at all enterprises. If other enterprises can do this, we will still provide order support. "
Mr. Li continued: "Because my country's aerospace industry has shown an accelerated development trend in recent years, launch vehicles will maintain high-density launches for a long time.
High-frequency rocket launches will inevitably bring high launch costs. Only by reducing costs can we promote the sustainable development of the aerospace industry.
Not long ago, the Manned Space Engineering Office issued the "Announcement on Soliciting the Overall Plan for the Space Station's Low-Cost Cargo Transportation System", which clearly stated that in order to further reduce costs, we should explore the development of a commercial aerospace model and market-based procurement of low-cost Cargo transportation services.
Our cooperation with Guangjia Aerospace this time is a positive response to the spirit of the document.
We do not rule out cooperation with more commercial space agencies in the future. ”,
After the news was broadcast that night, executives from other commercial aerospace agencies felt like they were vomiting blood when they saw Mr. Li’s high-sounding answers. Who can lower the cost of Light Armor Aerospace?
And Guangjia Aerospace has already taken the lead. With the intensive launch of rockets, its cost will only get lower and lower. They have no room for survival at all.
They refused to be acquired by Guangjia Aerospace before. Oriental Space has transformed its main business into differentiated competition. It plans to specialize in low-altitude satellite launches and satellite design. It has basically abandoned the path of recyclable rockets, let alone other commercial space agencies.
