Chapter 195 New Toy
People are different. The same score line in the college entrance examination, because different majors will have a very different future.
In the past ten years, space mechanics has undoubtedly been a major that excels others. Even if space mechanics has fallen into decline and news of salary reductions and layoffs have emerged one after another, its remuneration is not comparable to that of other majors.
Now majors that are expected to challenge space machines have emerged. As long as majors are related to semiconductors, graduates can get a good job.
Hot money in the entire market is pouring into the semiconductor field.
According to the classification of graduation institution and degree level, the salary of even an ordinary second-degree college student working as a worker in a chip factory starts at 150,000 yuan.
This is undoubtedly an industry bonus, and high-end manufacturing engineers such as semiconductors have stronger stability and development prospects than space machines.
Computer technology updates are iterated on a year-by-year basis. Maybe the technology stack you master will be out of date by next year, and the positions in the entire market that require the use of this technology stack suddenly shrink, resulting in either layoffs or significant salary cuts.
Semiconductors are undoubtedly not like this. The proficiency and experience of engineers are directly related to the yield rate and advanced technology. The more experienced engineers are, the less likely they are to be laid off.
So to a certain extent, semiconductors have surpassed computers and become the most popular employment destination.
As far as the capital market is concerned, although topological semi-metal chips are currently a high-investment field, companies with cash flows of less than 100 million are unlikely to make a splash in this field.
However, there are still too many companies involved in the upstream and downstream, and there are too many targets for investment, from equipment to raw materials to chip manufacturing and chip design. These are all going to undergo a complete reshuffle.
Investment is never a matter of 100% success rate, especially equity investment. If you invest in a hundred companies, you only need to invest in one to win.
Even if the success rate is only 1%, you can still benefit a lot.
What’s more, the substitution brought about by current technological breakthroughs is fundamentally different from the substitution guided by the will of the country.
The state's will requires companies to use domestic chips, domestic operating systems and domestic databases to replace imports. This is due to security considerations, but the corporate will is not strong and it cannot bring benefits to the company.
Even so, Big A has hyped this concept for more than one round.
The substitution brought about by technological breakthroughs is a spontaneous behavior of enterprises based on their own business considerations and in order to pursue higher benefits.
Like mobile phone manufacturers, they do not use topological semi-metal chips, which means they cannot compete with Huawei in the domestic mobile phone market.
They need to maintain their market share. At the same time, with the support of new technologies, they can officially launch an impact on Samsung in the global market and grab Samsung's cake to eat.
In addition, the Qualcomm tax paid for self-developed chips will be significantly reduced. For mobile phone manufacturers, there is still money to be made.
“We are very shocked by China’s technological breakthroughs. France’s enthusiasm and pursuit of China has reached a new climax.”
Le Gall, director of the French Space Agency, said After receiving the Huawei Extraordinary Master given to him by Guangjia Aerospace, he couldn't put it down and couldn't stop groping in his hands.
Huawei's Extraordinary Master has a small amount of distribution in France. The quantity of 10,000 units per month is simply not enough to grab. In the European seafood market, Extraordinary Master has been hyped to a price of 5,000 euros. This is still established. In case it cannot use Google components.
“We hope to achieve more cooperation with France. There are many areas where we can complement each other.” Lin Jia said.
Pioneer 2 has been launched more than five times without any accidents. They plan to launch Pioneer 2 in September to complete the European Space Agency's transportation order.
And the latest human hibernation equipment will be sent to the International Space Station.
For this reason, Le Gall came to China, hoping to observe the launch of Trailblazer 2 on-site and to discuss further cooperation with Light Armor Aerospace.
After acquiring the Pioneer rocket technology, although it is a generation behind the recyclable rocket technology, France also has its own recyclable rocket.
Coupled with the cooperation with China, Xiaoma's polls are much better.
For major countries, aerospace is an effective means to boost confidence. Boosting confidence means indirectly boosting polls.
So even with Joseph's lessons learned, Brother Ma urged Le Gall to come to China to discuss cooperation.
"Yes, Ms. Lin, there are indeed many areas where we can cooperate.
Including the next generation of pioneer rocket technology, on the space station, on the space engine, etc. Wait.”
This time Le Gall also came with Markey, the chairman of Safran Group.
It was Safran that previously traded Vulcan engine technology with Guangjia Aerospace.
Lin Jia quickly captured the other party's true purpose. Combined with the news that the International Space Station was about to retire, France most likely wanted to jointly develop the space station with them.
I hope to have a place on the space station where the Light Armor Space Launch will be launched in the future.
So Lin Jia did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Sir, do you want to conduct joint research and development with us on the space station?
Or are you the most urgent in this matter?< br>
The current International Space Station was supposed to be decommissioned this year, but it was postponed to 2030 because Amerikan was not ready.
In the future, Da Mao will no longer participate in the International Space Station project. Europe alone cannot compete with Amerikan on this project, not to mention that both Neon and Maple Leaf Country will side with Amerikan.
So France is also willing to no longer participate in the International Space Station project, or will no longer focus its main energy on the International Space Station project?
After all, in the foreseeable future, the EU’s voice on the International Space Station will only become weaker and weaker. ”
Past work experience and professional studies have brought Lin Jia’s professionalism in the commercial aerospace field to a whole new level. Even when communicating with senior practitioners, she can quickly capture key information.< br>
Originally, because of Lin Jia's youth and beauty, Le Gall only regarded him as a vase attached to Chen Yuanguang. He only needed the other party to convey France's demands to Chen Yuanguang intact.
In Western narratives, Chen Yuanguang, who lives in seclusion, has been placed under house arrest, and this statement becomes more authentic as it cannot be expressed on domestic social media.
Of course, only a handful of people believe this statement. Most people still believe that Chen Yuanguang lives in seclusion because of security concerns. His status is too important at the moment.
Lin Jia's keen insight made Legar dare not underestimate the other party. He nodded and said: "Not bad."
Ms. Lin, your insight is no better than Mr. Wright's in scientific research. Poor talent
Yes, our most urgent need is the space station.
France needs to remain competitive in aerospace, we cannot live without a space station.
From a personal perspective, I am not very interested in continuing to cooperate with Amerikan.
I would rather cooperate with China, with Chinese officials or with you.
Because both American and Europe have the same problem, that is, our capital utilization rate is too low.
We passed a three-year budget totaling 170 euros in 2022. As a result, more than half of the three years have passed, and the most outstanding achievement in the entire European aerospace field is still the purchased pioneer rocket technology.
It is also a rocket with a large yield. The Vega rocket spent a budget of more than one billion euros and then failed. You only need to spend 100 million euros. "
In April, the European Space Agency's one-shot, two-satellite plan failed. It was not as exaggerated as the 2.4 billion euros promoted by the media, but the loss was not small.
" International Space Station The construction cost alone is US$150 billion, and the annual operating costs will not be less than US$3 billion.
Although China's space station cannot be compared with the International Space Station in terms of scale, even if it develops to the scale of the International Space Station, I believe it will not cost 15 billion US dollars. ”
There are differences in capital utilization rates.
Especially in the application of mature technologies.
In the past, China’s aerospace industry was not able to match Amerikan in the research and development of advanced technologies. This was due to historical reasons. However, once the technology matured and the technology was implemented and transformed, China’s capital utilization efficiency was much higher. In Amerikan.
This is the fundamental reason why in recent years, China has been able to keep up quickly in fields such as space stations, lunar exploration, and Mars landings at lower costs.
Chen Yuanguang has made up for the shortcomings in advanced technology research and development. On the most eye-catching recyclable rocket, a brief transcendence was achieved.
“You know that in 2018, China signed an agreement with the then United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, saying that it would open the space station to the international community.
Because at that time In 2018, it was estimated that the International Space Station would be retired according to the original plan in 2024. At that time, Amerikan was still the previous president. Their president had not changed and was withdrawing from various organizations around the world. >
So at that time we were worried, what if Amerikan was unwilling to continue the International Space Station project and take the lead in building the International Space Station when the time came?
At that time, we required our astronauts to learn Chinese, because if they could only rely on the Huaguo Space Station in the future, they would have to know Chinese. The operation interface of the Huaguo Space Station is all in Chinese.
As a result, this year, I have pushed it back four years, but I guess I won’t be able to push it back after four years. I will have to retire in 2030 no matter what. "
Legar smiled and told interesting stories from the past.
Lin Jia said: "Isn't this kind of cooperation in China appropriate? "
Le Gall said: "Yes, it doesn't quite meet the needs of France.
France hopes to have its own space station, even if only half or less belongs to us.
It’s from France, not the EU.
In this way, other EU countries must apply to France to use the space station. I think you should understand what we mean.
It is good to apply to China to use the space station, but other countries can also apply. Cooperation with Amerikan is in the name of the EU, with low fund utilization, uncontrollable costs, and extremely limited EU power. ”
Lin Jia understood that France wants to save face. For France, although the economy is difficult and a little short of money, it can still spend this little money.
Chips mainly affect the chip industry F4, and the impact on Europe is very limited.
“But isn’t the French Space Agency affiliated with the European Space Agency?” Lin Jia just said and suddenly realized:
“So this round of cooperation is also cooperated with us by Safran Group. Feng Group will transfer the power of the space station to the French Space Agency?
Is that why Mr. Markey will come along?"
Legar nodded: "Yes, we are here. This is how Lun hopes to cooperate.”
Lin Jia said: "I have no objection, but the specific cooperation depends on France's sincerity."
"I think France is very sincere." Le Gall said.
France is particularly concerned about having its own space station. During the more than 20 years of operation of the International Space Station, France had only two long-term crew members and only four short-term visiting astronauts.
America's data in this regard are 54 and 265 respectively, and Damao's data are also as many as 43 and 89.
France does not even rank in the top five in terms of the number of its own astronauts.
There is no doubt that they are extremely dissatisfied with the status quo.
“The way we hope to cooperate is to have France’s own orbital section on the space station.”
“Is it the same as the current cooperation between Damao and you on the International Space Station?” Lin Jia asked.
The current International Space Station is divided into two parts. One part belongs to countries such as America, the European Union, Neon, and Maple Leaf Country, and the other part belongs to Da Mao.
It is precisely because Da Mao monopolizes an entire track section, so even after the war breaks out in 2022, they will not be able to drive Da Mao away.
At the same time, because of this, Da Mao has complete autonomy in space transportation. It does not need to listen to NASA. The astronauts they send to space are second only to Amerikan.
Now with the emergence of light armor aerospace, the EU no longer only has SpaceX as an option.
“Yes, we hope to have our own track section, unlike what we have now.
In order to achieve this goal, France is willing to pay the corresponding price.” Le Gall said.
France makes a lot of money from China every year. In 8 years alone, Safran Group signed a one-time order with China Airlines worth almost US$7 billion.
It’s cool to occupy high-end manufacturing industry.
The next day, holding a telescope on the beach in Yantai and seeing the majestic body of the Pioneer 2 on the sea launch ship, Le Gall felt envious and sad.
Because it is also equipped with a Vulcan engine and uses the same multi-engine bundling technology, their Vega rocket exploded into a gorgeous firework.
The Light Armor Aerospace only failed once and succeeded again and again.
According to news from French engineers working at Guangjia Aerospace, Guangjia Aerospace has also modified the Vulcan engine.
After the modification, the stability of the multi-engine bundle is so strong.
Le Gall felt that the gap between them and China in aerospace technology was a bit too big.
France and the entire EU have been resting on their laurels, while China has left them far behind.
Just like the Galileo project, China initially wanted to invest 200 million euros to participate in the Galileo project, but was later kicked out by the EU and started its own Beidou project.
When Beidou has been launched globally, Galileo is still just a baby and can only provide partial services.
You must know that Galileo started much earlier than Beidou.
Now this situation has reappeared in rocket research and development, and China's private commercial space agencies have been able to leave Europe behind.
Especially when thinking about the large number of black people in the capital Paris, as the proportion of these people in the population further increases in the future, does the future of French aerospace depend on these guys?
Le Gall feels that an aging Europe cannot see a future.
If Lin Jia knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely complain: The future may be more pessimistic than you think. You have also forgotten lvlv. The population growth rate of this group of people is no worse than that of black people.
"It's really spectacular. Is the Trailblazer 2 technology for sale?" Rolf asked.
The sea breeze blew on Lin Jia's face and blew her bangs to one side. Lin Jia looked at the endless sea and said calmly: "I don't know.
This needs to be approved by China. Agreed, if they agree, I have to ask Wright. If he agrees, I think it won’t be a big problem.
But I think Wright will be willing to sell, but what he wants in the transaction is not money. Technology.”
Lin Jia still doesn’t understand Chen Yuanguang well enough.
The Vulcan engine was needed before because it was necessary to find a suitable source of power for the Trailblazer 2 instead of appearing out of thin air.
That is not necessary now.
So money is more important, and wool like France is neither white nor white.
“Okay, I will let the Elysee Palace negotiate with Yanjing.
The Elysee Palace should have an unprecedented desire for Trailblazer 2.
Let's take a good look at this rocket launch. I think the boys up there will like the new toys we sent up. ”
The human hibernation equipment is a long-awaited toy for the astronauts on the space station.
Since the cooperation agreement between Guangjia Aerospace and France was signed last year, the International Space Station’s The astronauts began to look forward to it.
But they waited for more than a year before it was finally sent to the International Space Station.
