PS: Okay, we're still alive...... Thank you readers for your great concern and tears! In addition, refute the rumors: we are really not the buddy who ran downstairs wrapped in a sheet! No, no, no! Say important things three times! After all, when the earthquake occurred, we were still very calm, and we also posted an article, although we didn't even have time to change the title of TM......

Finally, I hope that our Sichuan wind and rain will be smooth, and there will be fewer disasters and fewer difficulties, alas......

Continued from the text:

Traditionally, aerospace is mainly divided into unmanned and manned spaceflight.

Needless to say, unmanned spaceflight is really to open the era of human aerospace for all, what must be vigorously developed is manned space technology.

However, manned spaceflight, or manned spaceflight, is at least one level more difficult than unmanned spaceflight, and is mainly composed of eight systems:

Including astronaut systems, space application systems, manned spacecraft systems, launch vehicle systems, launch site systems, TT&C communication systems, landing site systems and space laboratories.

If these two technologies are installed in the space laboratory, it will become a space laboratory set up in space, and the name will be the famous space station!

It's just that these two systems can be integrated into spacecraft in the future, especially the space station system, which is not of great significance to the civilian sector.

As for the launch site system and the landing site system, it is equivalent to the airport where the aircraft takes off and lands, but these two pieces, with the development of pulse energy engines in the future, like the space station, the spacecraft can completely replace or reduce the reliance on this aspect, so as to achieve vertical take-off and landing, and it will not be like the rocket and the recovery module, which requires the construction of a huge launch base, spending too much energy to observe the recovery module, and selecting the right unmanned area to land, so the investment in these two systems will not be very large in the future.

The aerospace TT&C communication system is a special system for tracking and measuring the flight status of spacecraft and other spacecraft, controlling their movement and working status, and realizing space-ground communication.

Overall, manned spaceflight has the highest cost and the greatest technical difficulty, and it is the three major systems of astronauts, manned spacecraft and launch vehicles!

As the name suggests, the main task of the astronaut system is to select astronauts, conduct a series of space mission training for astronauts, and develop and improve a series of technologies related to aerospace medicine, aerospace environmental control and life support, as well as related shipborne products.

The cost of this piece, at present, is indeed quite good.

Yang Weili, China's first astronaut, once said: "In order to select an astronaut, the country has invested countless manpower and material resources. If fighter pilots are piled up with the same amount of gold, then astronauts are stacked with the same amount of diamonds. ”

This is not a lie.

If training fighter pilots requires the same amount of gold as their lives, then astronauts need the same amount of diamonds as their lives.

So how much is a diamond worth to be the size of a person?

At present, the price of 1 carat diamond on the market ranges from 30,000 ~ 250,000 yuan, because according to the different grades, the price gap is very large, we take the lowest 30,000 carats as an example, 1 carat of diamonds = 0.2 grams, that is to say, 5000 carats = 1 kg.

According to a person's weight of 65 kilograms, the calculated value is 9.75 billion yuan!

It takes nearly 10 billion yuan to train an astronaut, which is really staggering to think about!

Of course, such a high cost is not only spent on the astronauts themselves, but also on the surrounding related technology development and shipborne products.

It's just that these peripheral technologies are "one-time investment", and when the era of national aerospace arrives, the training of astronauts will be like the training of pilots in the era of national aviation, which can be diluted to more people, and the unit price of the cost will naturally be greatly reduced.

Even if peripheral products are regarded as fixed asset investment, astronauts are just products on the assembly line of the factory, and the cost of the spacecraft system is only a drop in the barrel.

Therefore, what really restricts the development of manned space technology is mainly manned spacecraft systems and launch vehicle systems!

The manned spacecraft is the main place for astronauts to live, work and even carry out various scientific research activities in space, while the main task of the carrier rocket is to provide the spacecraft with the power to cross space.

These two systems are like building a house on the earth: the launch vehicle is the foundation and pillar beam of the house, which directly limits how big and how many floors a manned spacecraft can build, which is equivalent to the upper limit of the entire spacecraft system!

Now that the launch vehicle is about to be replaced by pulsed energy engines, and the ceiling of spacecraft construction has been raised infinitely, the next step is to work hard to enrich the cross-section of this ceiling, maximize the use of every minute of space in the spacecraft, and smoothly develop it for commercial use.

However, at present, apart from the state forces, there is no non-governmental company engaged in research in this area, and the non-governmental company is only researching a few satellites on its own.

The reason why this is so is entirely because the upper limit of the spacecraft is limited by the previous launch vehicle technology, after all, to send a kilogram of things into space, at least 62 kilograms of rocket weight must be consumed, and in the absence of breakthrough progress in rocket technology, between input and output, it is completely possible for a Fortune 500 company to go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and the urine of private capital for the purpose of profit will definitely not be stupidly invested in this aspect!

But once the rocket technology is replaced by pulsed energy engines, the profit point of the spacecraft will come out!

Whether it is used for interstellar tourism, exploration of the universe, or for space development and interstellar colonization, spaceships are promising in the future of national spaceflight!

And now, few people can see this clearly!

But Shu Chang saw it!

This is his chance, the chance to break out of the cocoon and be reborn!

Hearing Shu Chang's analysis in this regard, Mr. Chen's expression gradually became serious, and finally changed from doubt to excitement.

There is a lot to be done in this matter!

As Shu Chang analyzed, there is no company in the entire civil sector that is making technical reserves in this area, and even Musk, the benchmark of the civil aerospace industry, has not disclosed any research plans related to manned spacecraft!

There is no doubt that they could totally be the first to eat crabs!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Mr. Chen also asked Shu Chang a few questions in his heart.

"Mr. Shu, I have to admit that the pie you drew is quite tempting. It's just that there are still a few key factors in this, once it is not solved well, we will not eat this first bite of crab, but will be caught by the crab!"

Shu Chang: "You say. ”

"That's right," Mr. Chen explained seriously, "First of all, you also know that at present, if we want to send one kilogram of things into space, we have to consume at least 62 kilograms of rocket weight, and if the one-time delivery is too heavy, the consumption will even increase exponentially." What will be the final progress of the new pulsed energy engine? Will its thrust-to-weight ratio and carrying capacity meet our expectations? No one can guarantee this in a short period of time. ”

"The second point is that although the high-level has opened up the restrictions on the participation of private capital in space technology, it is mainly aimed at rocket technology and satellite technology, and the attitude towards manned spacecraft is not clear. ”

"Therefore, if Zero II Space is transformed into the development of manned spacecraft now, will it be a little earlier to enter the space?"

His hands tightened subconsciously, and Shu Chang had no bottom in his heart, and after muttering for a while, he still tried to explain:

"Mr. Chen, you did say the key point. ”

"For the first point, I don't think there's any need to worry. Although I plan to shift the focus of Zero II Space to manned spaceflight, but for a long time, we will not completely give up rocket technology, after all, we have invested a lot in this, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, immediately give up is unwilling, the key is that its profit point has also appeared. ”

"As you know, our financing is precisely because the rocket technology of Zero II Space has been recognized by the market, and we have received a lot of orders for commercial satellites, and these orders, in the next few years, are enough for us to eat and worry, and the problem encountered by Zero II Space is just that there is no capital to expand the production scale of rockets. ”

"In a few years, if the pulsed energy engine can be successful, we will just give up the rocket technology, and if the engine does not meet our expectations, we can continue to develop the OS-X rocket and manned spacecraft technology, which will be regarded as a technical reserve......

The index finger of his right hand was regularly tapping on his knee, and Mr. Chen nodded: "So, if you go hand in hand, will it restrain your energy, and then you won't be able to do it at both ends?"

Shu Chang smiled: "It depends on how much you support us." If you have reservations, we're bound to make some trade-offs, but if you have enough money...... As the first person to eat crabs, I think Mr. Chen should be able to see our advantages. ”

Mr. Chen also smiled.

In fact, the funds in his hands are completely enough to make the Zero Two Space go hand in hand, and the only concern is whether he can talk to the one behind him;

But with that person's open-mindedness and excitement, if he was still afraid in the face of such an opportunity, even if this matter was proven to be right in a short time, he probably would not be looked down upon by that person.

It's almost been explained by Shu Chang.

"As for the second point," Speaking of this, Shu Chang's face also became serious, "I don't know if you are well-informed on your side, Mr. Chen, our Zero Second Space has only been established for more than a year, and there are indeed shortcomings in this regard......"

They are all smart people, and they stop at the point.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Chen shook his head: "Speaking of which, in this regard, the speed of capital will always be faster than the speed of administration, I think even the high-level may not have reached an agreement on the private manned spaceflight, or simply ignore ......"

"Well, that's going to be harder!" Shu Chang frowned.

If they invest too much in manned spaceflight at that time, and the top management ends up with other considerations, restricting private capital and monopolizing manned spaceflight technology, then Zero-II Space will be really dangerous.

Mr. Chen on the other side also frowned.

This point itself was raised by him, and it was indeed quite tricky, but he was really persuaded by Shu Chang, and he also wanted to invest in zero space in his heart, but if he was stuck at this step in the end, he was really unwilling.

Think about it for a long time.

He suddenly thought that the purpose of coming to the capital this time was not just to invest in zero space!

The corners of his mouth subconsciously curved:

"However, it is not impossible to ......"

The northwest suburbs of Beijing, near the exit of the Bei'an River of Badaling Expressway.

The famous Huaguo Jingshi Space City is located here.

Speaking of which. Jingshi Space City is one of the world's three major space centers, the location of the Huaguo Astronaut Scientific Research and Training Center, and the location of the Huaguo Space Technology Research Institute and the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center!

It not only undertakes the command and dispatch, flight control, data processing, information exchange, selection and training of astronauts, and the development of spacesuits and aerospace instruments for China's manned space flight missions, but also is the first in China and the third in the world to have transparent control capabilities, visual tracking and control support capabilities, high-precision real-time orbit determination capabilities, high-speed data processing capabilities, automatic plan generation capabilities and clear image transmission capabilities!

It can be said that this is the control center of the entire Huaguo aerospace project!

It is precisely because of this that when Fang Jifan established Xinghai Aerospace Company, he chose to build the company's headquarters and laboratory opposite the Aerospace City, making it clear that he could dig the wall at any time with a hoe;

So much so that later, Aerospace City, a semi-closed and semi-open 'city', directly pulled Fang Jifan and the main persons in charge of Xinghai Aerospace into the blacklist and included them in the number one list of forbidden visits!

Even so, it can't stop Xinghai Aerospace's hoe Dafa.

Under the double temptation of high salaries and professors Liu Feng and Liu Da, the researchers in the space city are ready to move, and from time to time someone hangs the seal and leaves, and even not long ago, a heavyweight professor of the Space Technology Research Institute actually threw himself into the arms of Xinghai Aerospace, so angry that the director of the space city stomped his feet and sued the high-level officials, which made the other side a little more settled.

However, this is not a long-term solution, because for almost a long time, those engaged in aerospace are not as good as selling tea eggs...... This situation is not a joke, but a fact.

I have to say that this is the sadness of Huaguo's scientific researchers, and it is also the reason why Huaguo's high-end talents always like to go abroad for a long time;

Even if the treatment has improved a little in recent years, compared with the treatment of private companies that have developed in recent years, it is one heaven and the other is the earth.

In terms of the treatment of that heavyweight professor, the monthly salary in the research institute is only about 20,000 yuan per month, but Xinghai Aerospace next door directly offers people an annual salary of one million!

Not to mention, there is also the fact that there is no upper limit on research funding!

To be honest, this kind of treatment, even the director of the space city, is red-eyed......

At this time, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, from the general manager's office of Xinghai Aerospace Company, it is obvious that you can overlook many beautiful scenery in the space city.

Because it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, on the whole, the space city of Nuoda is full of vitality and tranquility, with the quiet fragrance of flowers and the sound of birds.

In the distance, there are red walls and green water, and there are also characteristic buildings of the space city nearby, the most obvious and eye-catching is the huge stainless steel sculpture that symbolizes the lunar exploration project of Huaguo at the entrance of the Huaguo Space Technology Research Institute - "Chang'e to the Moon"!

Every time Fang Jifan looks at the sculpture of "Chang'e Running to the Moon", he seems to have a lot of pride in his heart, so that even if he has seen it countless times, he never gets tired of looking at it.

It's not because Chang'e is so beautiful, but because this sculpture symbolizes the profound scientific research heritage of the space city!

Every time he looked at her, Fang Jifan always had the idea of moving this thing to the gate of Xinghai Aerospace Company......

"Mr. Chen, you said that if we were in our Xinghai Aerospace Company, we would also get a 'Chang'e to the Moon', how about it?"

At this moment, standing next to Fang Jifan and looking at the space city opposite with him, it was the same Mr. Chen who was preparing to finance Zero Second Space in Zero Two Space!

Facing this "ambitious" Jiangzhou villager who plans to move the entire space city to Xinghai Aerospace Company, this Mr. Chen can't help but sigh.

is also a young man, this guy's ambition is obviously greater than the one in Zero Space!

I don't know what kind of demeanor Professor Liu Feng, who is also a fellow villager in Jiangzhou, should be!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart......

It's a pity that I missed Professor Liu!
