Da Mao rocket engine technology has always been the pursuit of the maximum thrust as the ultimate goal, for commercial use of relatively little consideration, but their technology is really unmatched, even Eagle Sauce can not be like Da Mao can not only design and produce a rocket with high thrust but also control the manufacturing cost. "Eight" "Eight" read "book, .2 ■ ⊥

Yang Jie's requirement for his rocket engine R&D department is to develop a rocket engine that can be reused, economic reliability is the first priority, and the requirement for thrust is not the only goal, after all, the company designs and manufactures rockets mainly for commercial use.

The research and development of 200-ton rocket engines is mainly to be able to carry more satellites to low earth orbit, with a load of 20 tons, and more than a dozen communication satellites can be carried into orbit at a launch, reducing the launch cost of satellites.

In order to accomplish this task, Huaxing Group must develop its own upper stage engine with a longer working time.

Since the 90s of the last century, China has mainly developed a variety of solid upper stages and YF-75 second-generation liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen rocket engines.

However, the number of times these upper stages are started in space is relatively small, and they cannot reach the ability of Yang Jie to count satellites or even more than a dozen satellites with one arrow, so the Sea Launch Company itself on the basis of the Blue Star 1 while developing the upper stage is also cooperating with Ermao's Southern Design Bureau, which sold the upper stage engine design to the Sea Launch Company, and also purchased more than 30 RD-809 engines with 5 repeated start capabilities and 9 tons of thrust, spending a total of more than 70 million US dollars.

On this basis, the Sea Launch R&D department built the upper stage and carried out tests and technical verification, and the results were very successful, and now Sea Launch uses this upper stage. ∈ 8 ∈ 8 ∈ read ∈ book, .2∞3.↓o

This time, President Vladimir also hopes to be able to sell the engines and other system equipment above the upper stage to Sea Launch.

For this Yang Jie politely refused, now that the Sea Launch Company's own upper-stage engine technology has matured, and the research and development of new engines is also very smooth, there is no need to cooperate with Da Mao to distract his efforts.

At this stage, Yang Jie is mainly developing the construction of high-speed communication satellite networks in low earth orbit, and is not like Da Mao to engage in space stations and deep space exploration, these are things to consider at the national level, he is considering how to make the launch cost lower in the existing technology, so that the construction cost of the communication network is lower, and the communication network can meet the access of more and more devices.

Of course, Yang Jie also mentioned that he hopes to establish a joint venture company with the Damao Space Agency to establish a ground receiving station in Damao to provide communication network access services for rural and remote areas in Damao, and said that he will not send the data in Damao back to the rabbit country, and is willing to accept the supervision of the Federal Security Service.

President Vladimir also expressed his support for this, and added at the end: "I hope that these terrestrial transceivers can be produced and sold in our country." ”

Yang Jie also nodded and agreed.

Because of the large land area of Damao, domestic communication operators are reluctant to go to remote rural areas to build communication networks, it can be said that a large part of the countryside is not covered by mobile phone signals, such as Starlink network such high-speed satellite broadband can meet the construction of communication networks in most parts of the country.

President Vladimir is also very aware of this, but he also does not want satellite network service providers like China Satellite Communications Corporation to monopolize the network access market in rural and remote areas, and also hopes that domestic companies can also benefit.

Huaxing Group is now building a small ground satellite transceiver base station to meet the communication needs of a 4,000 large farms, such a set of base stations Huaxing Group can be controlled at about 1 million.

Of course, the equipment for a single family is cheaper, and the Huaxing Group has kept the cost below $400, and the factory price is about $1,000.

However, in order to promote, Huanyu Satellite Communications basically sells and gives away the way for customers to sign a contract for a few years, and charges through package fees and other service content.

As of the end of July, the number of users of the Starlink network has grown to 40 million, basically generating more than 900 million US dollars in revenue for China Satellite Communications Corporation every month.

This also means that China Satellite Communications Corporation and Sea Launch Corporation have been profitable since last year, and there is no longer a need for Yang Jie to continue to throw money in this field.

Yang Jie has invested more than 20 billion US dollars in the design, production and manufacturing of rockets and satellites, the absorption of various hardware facilities and talent teams to the sea launch platform and launch base for this Starlink network for more than four years, and now it has finally come to fruition.

Although they said that they would continue to launch satellites in the future, the money earned by the two companies was enough to support their own development, and it was a sure thing that the revenue of the China Satellite Communications Corporation and Hong Kong's Huanyu Satellite Communications subsidiary exceeded 20 billion US dollars this year.

Many countries are eager for Huanyu Satellite Corporation to build a ground gateway in their own country to get a piece of the pie, and Da Mao is naturally no exception.

Huaxing Group Company has now opened up a new industry, and it is very profitable, even Eagle Sauce can't make the same network at this stage, and Da Mao at this stage does not have the economic strength to do it.

Although the current Huaxing Group Company is still in the midst of being fēng shā, the Huaxing Group Company is still alive and well, and has dug a gold mine, which is really enviable.

This is also the reason why President Vladimir was the first to visit Huaxing Group after his visit to China.

The next day, President Vladimir also visited Zhongyuan Automobile Group Co., Ltd., and specially visited the production line for the production of fuel cell cars and buses, and asked a lot of questions.

In the middle of this, he said to Yang Jie: "Can these fuel cell vehicles be produced in our country?"

Yang Jie said with a smile: "The number of hydrogen fuel filling stations in Russia is too small, and it is very difficult to promote fuel cell vehicles. ”

"However, we have internal plans to build a complete production line for gasoline vehicles in Russia, with a design capacity of 150,000 vehicles and an investment of 500 million US dollars, and we also want to purchase parts from local suppliers as much as possible," he paused. ”

Vladimir also laughed when he heard this, and then said to the officials next to him: "You must hurry up and deal with this matter." ”

"Yes, Mr. President!"

The official nodded solemnly. 11
