"Although some things cannot be disclosed too much, I can only say that we are really short of these special metals. If we can establish a production base on the moon, then I am afraid..."

"Nonsense, let alone those confidential projects that are short of materials. Which of our projects is not short of rare metals? I heard that a certain department on Titan used hundreds of millions worth of gold last year, and I don't know what they did."

"But how do we solve the energy problem? The material problem? There are so many satellite weapons in outer space that are staring at us. How do we send the Moon Chasing Starship out?"

The slogans were loud and clear, but no matter how powerful Gu Qing's appeal was, most people would start discussing it unconsciously, and found that the difficulties involved were probably not something that could be accomplished in a five-year plan.

And if it really reaches this level, trillions of Xia Yuan will feel unbearable.

As the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

Let alone projects like the Moon Chasing Starship, even if a satellite is launched, it is still not cheap.

The European Ariane 5 launch vehicle costs approximately US$165 million per launch, and the launch cost per kilogram is approximately US$10,313.

The average launch cost of the American Delta 4 medium rocket is $164 million.

The main launch vehicle of Russia, the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle, costs approximately US$50 million per launch, and the launch cost per kilogram is US$7,246.

At this time, what is the scientific and technological heritage of a great country?

Zhou Jianping, the chief designer of the Daxia Manned Space Project, said at this time: "The price of each launch of the Kuaizhou 11 launch vehicle under our Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation can be as low as about 30 million Xia Yuan, per kilogram

The launch cost is less than 60,000 Xia Yuan.

Small rockets in low orbit are cheaper, with a launch price of about 200,000 Xia Yuan per kilogram, the launch price per kilogram in the Earth transfer orbit can be as low as 60,000 Xia Yuan per kilogram, and the launch price in a sun-synchronous orbit is about 40,000 Xia Yuan per kilogram."

Expensive costs are the fundamental reason why many countries with low technological levels are unable to launch rockets.

The main reason why rocket launch costs are so high is that the fuel is too heavy. Most of the mass of a 500-ton rocket is fuel, and the remaining dozens of tons are components such as fairings and satellites.

Secondly, the cost is directly related to the recycling technology. If the rocket can be recycled, a lot of costs can be saved.

If the technology of recycling rockets is mastered, the cost of the first-stage rocket can be saved by 80%. If the second-stage rocket can be recycled, the cost can be controlled below 10%!

The reason why Starlink can be launched on such a large scale is because the rockets carried by Starlink satellites can be recycled and reused.

Gu Qing displayed a blueprint of some rocket and satellite technologies for the Kyushu 6G project on the big screen behind him.

Just like when the blueprint for carbon-based semiconductors was released.

He told everyone: "Perhaps there are people in the industry who were previously restricted by confidentiality regulations, so they have no idea about our Jiuzhou Technology's research and development in the aerospace field, so I asked the technical department to intercept part of the blueprint.

Regarding rocket technology, our scientists and engineers have designed many plans. What fuel and materials are needed for the rocket, how to assemble it, its carrying capacity, and the launch time have all been clearly arranged to ensure that the rocket can successfully complete the space flight, and it is planned and feasible.

Sexual tasks.

Then comes manufacturing.

If other companies were to do this project, they would first need to spend a lot of resources, not only massive funds, but also a sufficient team of engineers, advanced production process equipment, and excellent parts assembly requirements.

Even for the world's leading countries, it generally takes two years or more to manufacture a rocket, and they need to purchase many components from abroad, which not only increases manufacturing costs, but also imposes restrictions at critical moments.

For this core difficulty, we have a huge advantage.

Daxia Long March Rocket Company has cooperated with us to provide space launch services and provide a complete system solution from launch to satellite networking.

In addition, our company has been doing related research and development, electric rockets and nuclear rockets are among the research and development projects, and our company will soon have its own rocket manufacturing factory and launch site!"

At this moment, everyone in the conference room had different expressions.

Although most people here are engaged in scientific research, everyone still knows about things other than scientific research.

Rocket research and development is not an ordinary commercial project, and this kind of rocket that involves sending satellites to earth orbit is used for scientific research in peacetime. Once wartime comes, if the satellites are replaced with weapons, the rockets will immediately become weapons...

…

The higher-ups would actually grant this kind of permission to a company that has only been around for a few years?

Of course, this feeling of being trusted makes the engineers and scientists of Jiuzhou Technology full of thoughts and excitement.

Gu Qing pointed to the satellite launch plan on the blueprint and said seriously: "The orbit of the satellite around the earth is a closed curve.

According to the height above the ground, it can be divided into low orbit, medium orbit and high orbit. Our manned spacecraft and most of the earth observation satellites operate in low orbit.

Most of the Beidou navigation satellites operate in medium orbits, and a few operate in high orbits, which can take into account both navigation, positioning and communication functions.

In addition to these orbits, the satellites of our 6G communication plan also need geostationary orbits.

This kind of orbit is located above the earth's equator 35,786 kilometers above the ground, and the orbital inclination is 0.

When the satellite is operating in this orbit, because the angular speed of its orbit around the earth is the same as the angular speed of the earth's rotation, it seems to be stationary when viewed from the ground, so it is called a geostationary orbit.

Satellites operating in this kind of orbit are very suitable for continuous communications and earth observation, but there is only one in the world, so geostationary orbit resources are very tight."

After a short pause, Gu Qing continued: "There is no doubt that there are many people besides us who are occupying this scarce resource.

In the future, after our satellites enter this orbit, they are likely to face many challenges, and even face suicide attacks by some satellites.

It's a coincidence that our company's Titan satellite department has just developed a small self-defense robot. The intelligent AI it carries can make countermeasures and control the weapons carried by the satellite even when the signal is isolated.

In the experimental testing phase, almost 95% interception success probability can be achieved.

And in addition to satellites, we have obtained authorization to put robots into the space station, which means that we can not only defend ourselves, but even in some cases, maintain the safety of other equipment, such as helping now

The Tiangong Space Station in the sky is not subject to some severe interference."

Except for Zhou Jianping, the chief designer of the Daxia Manned Space Project, and some experts who had in-depth cooperation, there was no excitement at the scene.

Everyone else was excited.

What robot?

Mr. Gu almost understood and said that it was a combat weapon!

"That's how it should be! I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them!"

"Don't they say that private property is sacred and inviolable? Then this time our satellites and space stations are really not that easy to be invaded."

"Seeing that the semiconductor department has been doing so many big things in succession, our rocket project team has been hidden for various reasons. This time we have to let others see it. We are not just freeloaders!"

"With the development of chips to extremes and the new satellite communication projects, my classmates who are still studying the 5G research and development project in the United States may soon face unemployment."

No one doubts that the 6G communication project will fail.

From communication satellites to security assurance, this part of the blueprint has given everyone clear answers.

Naturally, there is no need to praise the action and organizational power of the people of Daxia.

After this "small meeting" ended, many projects began to be launched openly, announcements were made, and equipment inspections began.

April 25th.

As soon as Gu Qing and Zhou Yi got off the bus, they were personally greeted by senior executives of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group and the chief designer of the Long March rocket project.

"How can you two squeeze out time to greet us despite your busy schedule? Let's go to the launch base as soon as possible."

Zhou Yi glanced at his boss helplessly. This stupid speech was really...

Only my own boss can say that. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any good juice to eat.

The senior executives of Daxia Aerospace Technology Group were not embarrassed by such stupid young words. They had already investigated through various channels and made preparations before arriving.

I saw a certain senior executive reaching out his hand, holding Gu Qing's hand, and said with concern: "The weather in Hainan is hot, and we also came over quickly to show our friendship as landlords. And we did not neglect our work.

I also want to thank your company for your strong support. Those industrial software have greatly improved the progress of many of our projects. Many scientific researchers and engineers in our project department are often filled with emotion. And our entire group, as long as we can

For projects that use your company’s industrial software, all foreign products used before have been completely uninstalled.”

Gu Qing quickly freed his hand when his hand was held by someone else, especially the sweaty and slippery feeling.

However, considering that the Aerospace Science and Technology Group is now a close partner of his own company, he still said: "Industrial software comes from industry to industry, and better production and research and development are carried out through software.

Our software is actually just an auxiliary. The most important thing is the information and many suggestions provided by your company's engineers and other technical staff. After all, only lumberjacks know how to sharpen an ax to make it sharper.

But this time, I was also specially approved to go out, and I also brought a team of engineers. The time is tight and the task is heavy, so let’s not waste too much time and just take us to the launch base to see the situation."

When the senior executives of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group heard Gu Qing's words, they all smiled and nodded in unison, and some sighed inwardly.

There are real differences between people. He is considered to be the richest man in the Xia Dynasty, but he is still in such a hurry to do research and development. He is really a hard-working genius.

Xiahua News Agency reported:

At 10:05 on April 26, the flight test of the Long March 8 Yao-2 carrier rocket was successfully carried out at a space launch site in Hainan, Daxia. The rocket flew normally and the test was a complete success.

The reporter learned from relevant departments that the Long March 8 launched this time adopts a new configuration without a booster and has "28 satellites with one arrow", setting a record for the largest number of satellites launched at one time in Daxia.

The satellite it carries is a cutting-edge communication satellite developed and manufactured by Jiuzhou Technology, and most of the chips used in the satellite are carbon-based chips.

As the most authoritative media in Great Xia, the news published by Xiahua News Agency was groundbreaking and directly dominated the headlines of public opinion searches.

Among these hot searches, there is also an additional update on a private account.

Gu Qing, the founder of Jiuzhou Technology, and the chief designer of the Long March 8 launch vehicle of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group took a group photo at the command center at the launch site.

The accompanying picture reads: “Keep up the good work and strive to complete the new Long March as soon as possible!”

And this time, Gu Qing rarely interacted with netizens several times in the comment area.

Of course, these interactions avoid comments such as giving birth to monkeys...

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The number one favorite among netizens' comments was: "What does it mean that Kou can go, and I can go too?"
