Chapter 0655 Unwanted Influence

Xu Tian and Zhang Renxuan, two academicians, really came to negotiate with Gu Yu about the aerospace aircraft, but Gu Yu's offer for selling the aerospace aircraft was too high, a full 1 trillion Chinese yuan, and it had to be the scientific research funds allocated by the state to the Space Research Institute for decades, and it was impossible for the Space Research Institute to spend all the scientific research funds for decades on this matter.

In addition to going to the moon, Zhang Renxuan also mentioned a new way of cooperation, which is to cooperate with Gu Yu to build the Huaxia space station.

At present, there is only one International Space Station in space, which is a place that refuses to be open to Huaxia, although Huaxia has also launched space stations before, but they are all experimental in nature, and no one has ever entered it. At present, Huaxia is preparing to launch a self-built space station that can be used by people to enter and exit, which is relatively mature in technology, but this maturity is relative, if it is compared with Gu Yu's aerospace plane, it is a comparison between college students and kindergarten children.

Zhang Renxuan hopes that Gu Yu can provide an aerospace plane as a carrier to help Huaxia launch the space station. With the help of aerospace aircraft, the space station can be built faster than expected, and it can be built larger and grander than originally designed, and perhaps in the future things will run longer than designed.

In addition to the space station project, Zhang Renxuan also mentioned another way to work together, which is to see if Gu Yu is interested in collecting and disposing of space junk. Since the former Soviet Union sent the first artificial satellite into space, mankind has been developing and using space for decades, and over the years, thousands of artificial satellites, rockets, space shuttles and other spacecraft have gone into space, either running out of life, or technical failure, or accidental explosion, and other reasons, and have been stranded in space.

People on the earth have basically no way to take these space junk, launch a special spacecraft to deal with these space junk, one is too technically difficult, and the other is that the cost is not cost-effective, may be several times higher than the cost of launching an artificial satellite, if you use the way to launch missiles or lasers from the ground to deal with it, it is also facing the problem of high cost, even if you don't consider the cost of this way, from a technical point of view, whether it is a missile or a laser, it is not guaranteed that the space junk can be completely and completely destroyed, and it is very likely that a missile hits a scrapped artificial satelliteAlthough the artificial satellite has been destroyed, the artificial satellite may split into dozens or even more pieces of wreckage and continue to float in space, and it can't continue to launch dozens of missiles to destroy them, right?

The existence of these space junk does not have the slightest benefit, on the contrary, it is not good, their existence seriously threatens the safety of normal working artificial satellites, space stations, etc., and squeezes out limited space resources, which is not conducive to the subsequent launch of artificial celestial bodies.

Other countries, Zhang Renxuan is not very clear, but if Gu Yu is willing to do this, he can apply to the above and allocate some funds to Gu Yu, which can be regarded as a reward for hiring Gu Yu to do this. Of course, these funds can't be too much, but there should be tens of millions a year, if it's not enough, Gu Yu may need to fill it himself.

If Gu Yu doesn't want to fill it, then Gu Yu has another way to find a financial solution, that is, to face the international market, to undertake the launch of commercial artificial satellites, the performance of the aerospace aircraft is enough to ensure the safe and accurate orbit of these artificial satellites, better than the rockets of any space agency in the world.

Gu Yu's eyes lit up with Zhang Renxuan's proposal for cooperation on space junk, and he realized that this was a good opportunity to show up around the world and increase his reputation, and in a broad sense, the cleanup of space junk also belongs to the category of environmental protection. Instead of asking the state for funding, it is better to do it as a public welfare project from the beginning, so as to better win the favor of space enthusiasts all over the world and win their praise.

Launching artificial satellites and helping to build space stations, these things can also be done, although the former has the meaning of grabbing business with the Space Research Institute, but even if it is robbing, it is also grabbing business with the whole world, and it is not the Huaxia Space Research Institute that occupies the forefront in this regard, but the countries and regions such as the United States, Europe, and Maozi, and even Japan is no worse than China in this regard. If Gu Yu comes to do this, these countries and regions will be the most affected, and the impact on Huaxia will not be too great.

As for helping to build the space station, Gu Yu is even more obliged, not to mention that it will help him expand his influence in Huaxia, so that he can get the prestige of the Chinese people more frequently, which alone will be of great benefit to enhance the overall image and national strength of Huaxia. In this matter, Gu Yu can give a cost price, in addition, he also said that he wants to ask the relevant departments to help him use the existing technology to build a space hotel for him, so that those tourists who want to go to space can stay in the space hotel permanently or for a short time in the future.

Zhang Renxuan and Xu Tian both showed strong interest in the proposal of the space hotel, this proposal was not Gu Yu's injury, the title of pioneer had already been snatched away by Mao Ziguo, and the offer of two or three hundred million US dollars per person was also a very good business for the Space Research Institute. For example, a few years ago, the three countries of Afghanistan launched an artificial satellite weighing 360 kilograms for the Roman state, and the fee was only 11 million US dollars, and the commercial satellite launch service in China may be slightly more expensive than that of the three countries, but it is also limited. In comparison, a person weighs only a few tens of kilograms, but the fee is much more expensive than Sputnik, which is obviously a very cost-effective business. Of course, with the maturity of technology in this regard, the fee will definitely decline, but if the fee falls, the number will increase, and it will be very profitable in the long run.

Zhang Renxuan wants to cooperate with Gu Yu in this regard, and the Space Research Institute can even build a space station, and it is naturally not difficult to build a few space hotels. In this regard, Gu Yu really has nothing to compare with the Space Research Institute, he can't get a space plane to stay in a low orbit, it would be too wasteful. And if you want to transform the manufacturing technology of the aerospace aircraft into the manufacturing technology of the space hotel, there are still a lot of thresholds to cross, which cannot be solved by Gu Yu after thinking about it.

Gu Yu has no objection to cooperation in this regard, for him, it is an additional channel to make money, and he can also gain a lot of prestige through this matter, and there is no need to monopolize this business.

These are all trivial matters, and the main purpose of Xu Tian and Zhang Renxuan is to discuss the purchase of services from Gu Yu. Although they have calculated that it is the most economical thing to buy services from Gu Yu, after discussing with the Space Research Institute, they do not intend to give up the existing technical system, that is to say, the rocket or something, the transformation still needs to be built, and the launch still needs to be launched. The field of frontal competition in the United States, if it is abandoned, it is a great risk, not to mention the others, in case something happens to Gu Yu's system in the future, they will face the point where there are no rockets available, and when the time comes, they will have to pick it up again, and the cost will be astronomical, not to mention, Gu Yu's is Gu Yu's after all, not the state, from a commercial point of view, they have a system, and it is just used to negotiate with Gu Yu.

Xu Tian and Zhang Renxuan reached a consensus that they would purchase Gu Yu's related services for the construction of the space station and the lunar exploration project, and that all the launch tasks of these two tasks should be reasonably distributed with Gu Yu's services, and that out of every ten launches, at least one of them should be led by the Space Research Institute itself.

Don't look at this tenth, there is still considerable pressure on the current technical reserves of the Institute of Space Research. You must know that according to the plan of the Space Research Institute, in the space station and the lunar exploration project, there may only be one or two launch missions a year, or even two or three years, but if Gu Yu's aerospace plane is introduced into these two projects, it may be able to launch once or twice a month. If the Space Research Institute were to undertake one-tenth of these tasks, the emission frequency would be at least the same as before, and perhaps even far exceeded. It is still difficult for IITO to maintain such a high level.

Xu Tian and Zhang Renxuan made it very clear to Gu Yu at the beginning, so as not to cause any unpleasant cooperation between the two sides in the future. Gu Yu didn't comment on the choice of the Space Research Institute, it was not the territory he managed, there was no need to talk too much, he just needed to do his part.

As for the basis of cooperation, that is, the cost of Gu Yu's services, it basically follows the price quoted by Gu Yu. This price has also been repeatedly reviewed by the Space Research Institute, and it is much cheaper than them doing this, even if it is a country that cannot do such cost control, it is not appropriate to reduce the price again.

However, when signing the contract, Zhang Renxuan specifically mentioned one thing, that is, Gu Yu wants to use the aerospace plane for commercial development and send tourists to the moon, for this, they have no objection, but they require that the commercial launch and the scientific research launch provided for them should be separated, and the landing point on the moon cannot be the same, they do not want their scientific research to be unnecessarily interfered with by the outside world. In addition, they also have to do the daily training of the space research institute's lunar landers, and they do not come to Guyu's Guchao space for special training. Of course, before flying to the moon, there must be a physical examination, and Gu Yu can make suggestions in this regard, and if the moon landers they selected are really unqualified, Gu Yu can ask for a replacement.

Gu Yu could only nod what he could say. From Zhang Renxuan's request, he could feel that the Space Research Institute still guarded against him, and did not intend to cooperate with him in depth in this regard, that is to say, he did not plan to open up the technical reserves in this area to Gu Yu. Their cooperation is limited to his services for the Space Research Institute, as for how the Space Research Institute will conduct scientific experiments, how to develop the moon in the future, etc., they do not plan to discuss with Gu Yu, and they have no intention of inviting Gu Yu to join them.

In this regard, Gu Yu was not surprised, the Space Research Institute is a state, and many studies are state secrets, so it is indeed inappropriate for him to join as an outsider. What's more, even if he was invited to join, he was not interested. The main purpose of his trip to the moon was for helium-three, and he had no interest in how to peacefully develop and use the moon, or even build a military base on the moon. As long as it doesn't interfere with his helium-3 mining activities on the moon, other people or organizations can do whatever they want.

The two sides soon signed an agreement on cooperation. The term of this agreement is only a short period of three years, which is also Zhang Renxuan's request, and Gu Yu has no opinion on this. As long as his technology is always ahead, the term of the contract really has nothing to emphasize, and the contract period is short, it is good for him, in the future he needs to increase the price because of some external factors, during the contract period, it is not good to put it forward, but once the contract period is over, there is nothing to restrain him. And if you still have to sign the contract at that time, you have to ask him if he agrees.

In addition to this cooperation agreement, Gu Yu also signed several other contracts with Zhang Renxuan, such as the cooperation in the construction of a space hotel, and the fact that the Space Research Institute entrusted Gu Yu to clean up the space junk in China's territorial airspace.

Of course, this airspace refers to the airspace over China, and in order not to irritate other countries, those artificial satellites that have owners and are still in operation are not included in the cleanup. In addition, all other celestial bodies that cannot find their owners and have been scrapped are classified as space junk and will be handed over to Gu Yu to clean up.

In addition to sending Xu Tian and Zhang Renxuan away, Gu Yu made two statements on the official websites of Gu Chao Technology and Gu Chao Space, one is to announce that he has entered the field of commercial satellite launches, and is willing to provide satellite launch services for people in need all over the world to ensure good quality and low price, and the other statement is about the cleanup of space junk, he has achieved Huaxia PoliticsWith the authorization of the government, the clean-up of space junk over China will be carried out, and if there is a need in that country in the future, he can also provide corresponding services. He will take the initiative to carry out the corresponding work in the airspace of those who are unowned, and he will bear the costs of this, and he hopes that the relevant countries can provide the necessary information so that those owned and still operating celestial bodies will not be unnecessarily affected.
