"If you produce so mass-produced, has the cost of each satellite been reduced?"

Song Xinyang asked.

"Yes, now the manufacturing cost of the Starlink 1 satellite has dropped to less than 5 million US dollars, the cost of the Starlink 2 relay satellite is still very expensive, it still needs 30 million US dollars, we need 60 relay satellites like this, and it will cost more than 3 billion US dollars to build this Starlink network alone. ”

Yang Jie smiled bitterly: "If the cost of rocket launch can't be reduced, these more than 300 satellites will consume at least another four or five billion US dollars, and it will take at least tens of billions of funds to build this Starlink network, and I will be under some pressure to come up with so much money at once." ”

Song Xinyang glanced at Yang Jie: "You kid has never liked to raise funds from investors, such a big project is no problem, right?"

"It's not a big problem. ”

Yang Jie smiled: "If too much capital comes in, some of the goals set by the company will be disturbed a lot, and I am not short of this money." ”

Song Xinyang had a smile on his face: "Now Huaxing Group Company is indeed not bad for money. ”

Last year, the entire revenue of Huaxing Group was close to 500 billion US dollars, and many of its subsidiaries were ranked among the world's top 500, and there was also a commercial bank under it to absorb a large number of various funds to support the development of Huaxing Group.

This kind of situation is also unique in Huaxia, and the central government may not be able to dispose of such a huge amount of capital dispatch as freely as Yang Jie - Huaxing Group is too profitable.

And because Huaxing Group has a lot of core technologies in its hands, it is difficult for other companies to replace, not to mention anything else, now country A must purchase lithography machines from Huaxing Group, if not purchased, the process technology of Intel and other wafer factories will come to a standstill.

It is such a very critical equipment that is more powerful than those nuclear weapons placed on the launch pad, forcing country A and rabbit country to sign a contract for mutual certification of airworthiness certificates.

However, Yang Jie can't stop at all, and now the aerospace technology industry has been tossed, and the central government is not without controversy about this, but the retired Comrade Yang Ziguang and Comrade Xue Yuedong are in favor of letting Yang Jie introduce a large amount of funds into these high-tech industries.

With a large amount of human, financial and material investment, these high-tech industries can be built, even if Yang Jie messes up, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, but there is no loss in the overall interests of the country.

This is also the reason why the central government handed over the project of the new strategic bomber to Yang Jie's company to complete.

Now the state can't come up with so much money to carry out this project, and the First Airlines Group and the Second Airlines Group Company together can't come up with so much money.

Yang Jie has been involved in the aerospace field over the years, and he has smashed tens of billions of dollars into it, without blinking his eyes, and he has made a good appearance, and now China Fokker has become the largest civil airliner manufacturer in China, and now the domestic large passenger aircraft fuselage structure industry and engine industry have matured, and it is already possible to build a 200-seat large passenger aircraft.

Yang Jie has invested in the aviation industry over the years to recoup the cost and start to make a profit, although he is still crazy in the aerospace field, but Song Xinyang also believes that Yang Jie's company can also recover costs and achieve profitability.

"Chief Song, there are still billions of people in this world who do not enjoy high-speed broadband services, our Starlink network is aimed at this huge market, and the other is to provide high-speed communication network services for global passenger aircraft, ships, automobiles, trains, these means of transportation, and now we provide wireless wLAN service business for airlines is very popular. ”

"Well, I've also experienced it on the special plane, and you guys are very good at this!"

Song Xinyang said with a smile.

Then Song Xinyang also came to the assembly line of the Gaojing-1 satellite, which is a 0.5-meter-level high-resolution commercial remote sensing satellite specially customized by Shenghua Remote Sensing Technology Company in Yanjing City, which is also derived from the satellite platform technology of Starlink-1.

The company is actually a subsidiary of the Space Corporation, which specializes in commercial remote sensing satellite constellation systems.

The constellation system plan consists of 16 optical satellites with a resolution of 0.1 meters, 4 high-end optical satellites, 4 microwave satellites, and several microsatellites such as video and hyperspectral.

Huaxing Group's technical strength in optical and radar communications is the world's top, and the Aerospace Group Corporation itself is a shareholder of the China Satellite Communications Corporation, so it naturally handed over this order to the China Communications Satellite Corporation.

The current Sanyangxue Company has spent four or five years developing and producing optical equipment companies all the way to the world because of the forced lens group of the lithography machine, and the image sensor technology of Loongson Semiconductor Company is also world-class, and the development and manufacturing of high-precision resolution optical satellites is naturally a matter of course.

Based on the Starlink-1 satellite platform, China Satellite Communications Corporation quickly developed the Gaojing-1 optical satellite, which has now begun to be delivered to Shenghua Remote Sensing Technology Co., Ltd., and will be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center next month.

The first stage of this constellation system is to launch four small optical satellites with a resolution of 0.1 meters, with a daily collection capacity of 3 million square kilometers.

In addition, Song Xinyang also inspected the research and development team of the Fengyun-4 meteorological satellite.

This R&D team started pre-research in 99, and the goal at that time was to surpass the technical level of the meteorological satellite GOES-8 of country A launched in 1994, GOES-8 has 5 channels, that is, it can take 5 pictures at a time, and the Fengyun-4 team is determined to make a satellite with 10 channels, which can take 10 pictures at a time, surpassing country A.

This team began to join the China Satellite Communications Company the year before last, and it was the year before that the Aerospace Corporation learned that country A was developing a new generation of meteorological satellites, which could take photos of 16 channels at a time, and once again threw off a large part of the satellite technology developed by Fengyun-4.

At that time, there was also a controversy within the aerospace group company over this matter, and some insisted on launching satellites on the basis of existing research results, although the performance was backward, it could be used at that time.

Some people also believe that we should abandon the existing research results and start anew to develop products with the same technical level as the new generation of meteorological satellites of country A, and we must stand on the same starting line as the people of country A.

At this stage, the domestic aerospace industry is more of a high-level consideration of political significance, and there are few commercial considerations, so far the aerospace group company is considering how to catch up with country A in technology, and the country's support in this regard has not been broken.

The aerospace group company finally found Yang Jie and asked him if he wanted to take over the R&D team and project, and Yang Jie also took over the R&D team.
