Chapter 926: Interstellar Glory
The people of Time Holdings are still discussing, and Zhou Shi is busy with other things, such as going to his charitable trust to inspect the rocket launch project company, originally he preferred deep-sea diving, but unfortunately that company is not in Yanjing, just like the quantum computer project is also not in Yanjing. This is not only because the talent is not in Yanjing, but also because of the concept of diversification.
Domestic rocket launches are all state-owned enterprises, and it will take time for a wealthy man like Zhou Shi to join without the assistance of relevant departments. Fortunately, with assistance, he has recruited more than a dozen elite backbones from several universities and aerospace departments, laying a good talent foundation for the new company. In addition to his own company, Interstellar Glory, he has also invested in several rocket launch companies with deep professional backgrounds.
This year, the state has elevated the "civil-military integration development" to the national strategic level, and at the same time, the government has begun to solicit opinions on commercial space legislation. Zhou Shi's investment has been guaranteed, and at the same time, domestic private rocket launches have attracted more and more capital participation.
In the choice of technical direction, its own company chose liquid rockets, and the invested enterprises naturally chose solid-fuel rockets.
The solid rocket motor is simple to maintain, highly reliable, easy to operate, and time-sensitive (can be launched in a few days), but the load is small. Liquid rockets have a long heating time (the launch cycle takes about two months), a slow reaction speed, and relatively high conditions for transportation and storage, but the carrying capacity is much higher than that of solid rockets.
After Time Company announced the global satellite Internet plan and prepared to launch 3000~5000 satellites into space, Zhou Shi's rocket company had a great market demand. Of course, this plan of Time has not yet been approved, and the spectrum resources that it wants have not been obtained, but it is only a matter of time. At that time, after the light became a social enterprise, the huge prestige had a high probability of being approved even in the United States. Not to mention that in Huaxia, time can get a lot of preferential treatment.
Liquid rockets for mass launch plans, solid satellites for high-timeliness small satellites This is determined by the current technology and the status quo of satellite launch costs, but the technology is constantly evolving, and the market needs are diverse, and it is difficult to say who is better and who will harvest the future. The best choice is not to choose, there is no need for the wealthy Zhou Shi to make a choice, and he has made investments in both directions.
"In the long run, having our own launch base obviously gives us more control over the launch program and gives us an advantage in the market competition. ”
"The cost of building an onshore base is high, the cost of operation is high, the cost of technical department is high, and the geographical location of our country is too far from the equator......"
"Although the operating cost of the sea launch base is relatively low, the launch cost is relatively low, and there is no need to worry about collateral damage to the wreckage, but the stability and controllability of the launch platform and the erosion protection of the salty and humid environment at sea are difficult to solve. ”
He came to the Interstellar Glory Rocket Launch Company, and everyone argued endlessly about whether to build a launch base and what to build.
"The Sea Launch Base can be platform maneuverable, flexible deployment, and if necessary, can sail to the equator, which is the closest place to geosynchronous orbit, which maximizes the use of the energy of the Earth's rotation as the propulsion force of the rocket, and the carrying capacity can be increased by about 30%, and fuel is saved. Someone explained to Zhou Shi
"Very well, does this mean that we can build Sea Launch bases around the world?" Zhou Shi
"Yes, yes. ”
"Can you launch a spaceship?" Zhou Shi, the Internet satellite project is just a small test, and the spaceship is his favorite.
"Shenzhou 10 is about 8 tons, which is difficult at present, but the take-off weight of the American Ares 1-X rocket can exceed 800 tons, which shows that there is no problem in technology, and it is only ......a matter of time before it is mastered."
"What about the cost?" Zhou Shi
“……”
The launch cost of the rocket is the key to the competition, of course, Zhou Shi doesn't really care about the competition between rocket companies, and he doesn't care who can achieve the final victory, he just wants to promote the development of this industry and promote human exploration of space.
As a top rich man, if he doesn't want to become the head of a country, then exploring the space universe and pursuing immortality should be his two biggest desires. Therefore, he has always insisted on investing in biotechnology and space exploration, but he really does not understand biomedicine and can only rely on professionals. And space exploration, because of Musk's relationship, he still knows better.
Rocket launches, spaceships, and perhaps flying saucers, plus nuclear fusion, etc., should be able to break out of the Earth. Zhou Shi may not have a chance to see the success of nuclear fusion, but there must be a dream, what if it comes true? As for exploring the secrets of the earth itself, it is also very necessary, if a secret realm is explored, maybe Atlantis can be recreated.
Zhou Shi's stake in Amazon will not be cashed out quickly, so his charitable trust does not have as much money as he imagined, so he is relatively conservative now.
If space exploration still has some clues, then controlled nuclear fusion has not yet begun, if this thing is fruitful, there will be no global energy crisis, but unfortunately the dream is beautiful, and there is still a long way to go to realize this dream. Maybe there are no conditions for nuclear fusion at all.
Yanjing is the headquarters of Zhou Shi Charitable Trust, where he can also learn about the progress of the Ant Forest, the super solar and wind integrated power plant plan, and see the reality on the satellite map, Zhou Shi deeply felt his own energy. In this era, the role of money has really reached the extreme, it can move mountains and seas, change the world, and can do almost anything.
Officials can improve the living conditions of people in a region, but a good entrepreneur can change the way people live all over the world, such as Apple's iPhone and mobile Internet, which can profoundly change the entire society. Ali and Tengxun's mobile payment has penetrated all over the country and almost every corner. And this, basically, is something that rights can't do.
Zuckerberg may have seen the difference between power and wealth, which is why he wanted to enter politics. Influencing the world in different ways and realizing self-worth. Zuckerberg may have done a lot more than he did.
Putting away his thoughts, Zhou Shi continued to understand his strength in various fields, no matter how powerful the US imperialist is, if the power of the social organization itself can continue to grow, and then divide the power of the US imperialist government, maybe in a few decades, the Lighthouse Congress will be defeated undefeated. So will the government, the elite, and the social organization become the three basic structures of the future world? Is he on the right path?
