Chapter 1104 Profiteering High-end Club
If recycling is not taken into account, Space X's Falcon 9 launch vehicle, the standard offer is $62 million. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And the manufacturing cost is only $16 million, and the fuel cost is even lower, $200,000!
The manufacturing cost of Mortal Technology Star One is 10 million US dollars, and the fuel cost is 150,000 US dollars!
If the same price is 62 million US dollars, the profit is completely unimaginable!
Space X's Falcon giant launch vehicle, with a standard offer of $90 million, costs around $25 million!
The cost of JEE is only $15 million, and if the same price is $90 million, the profit will definitely exceed that of Space X!
What's more, even with the same offer, the maximum load of the launch vehicles of the Mortal Star series is about half higher than that of the Falcon series, which is more competitive!
It can be said that compared with SpaceX's Falcon series, the Star series of launch vehicles of Mortal Star have complete advantages, both in terms of cost and load.
The only problem is that Elon Musk's Falcon series launch vehicles have been built.
And Wang Fan's Star series launch vehicles are still on the PPT, no, now I haven't even done the PPT!
Of course, if you consider rocket recovery, then it will be a completely different result!
If the first stage of the rocket is recovered and reused, the cost of the rocket can be reduced by another 70%.
If both the first and second stages can be recycled and reused, 98% of the cost can be saved!
Once so, the launch vehicle will become the price of cabbage!
Launch once, just 2% of the cost!
For example, Starry Sky 1, the rocket cost 10 million, and the fuel cost is only 200,000 US dollars at a time.
If the two-stage rocket is completely recovered and launched 100 times, the cost of each rocket will be 100,000 yuan, and the fuel cost will be 200,000 yuan, and the total cost will be 300,000 US dollars!
Of course, the necessary maintenance costs, plus other expenses, can also control the total cost in the millions of dollars.
Compared to the current cost of tens of millions at every turn, it is simply too cheap!
But the offer can be 60 million, because this is the lowest price in the industry at present!
There is no need for Wang Fan to knock down the price by 10 million for this!
What's more, recycling 100 times is just the ideal state, and there will inevitably be accidents, so the price must retain enough profit margins!
In this way, a commercial launch is a profit of more than 50 million US dollars!
In fact, such a high profit is completely taken for granted.
To use a simple analogy, a launch vehicle is to drive a car.
Now it's rocket launch one, blow up one. That is, drive once, blow up one, and buy a new car again.
Once it's fully recycled, it's a drive, just refuel, keep driving!
The cost of buying a car is completely incomparable with the cost of simply refueling.
Launch vehicles here, too
It can be said that the profits of the launch vehicle are completely profitable, but the technical difficulty is too great!
After all, there are only a few high-end clubs such as launch vehicles in the world, and only Space X can be recycled, and it is only the first stage of rocket recycling!
Although Wang Fan is not mass-produced, he has perfect technical information.
He is confident enough to let the mortal starry sky and achieve corner overtaking!
At that time, the mortal starry sky can completely break the pattern of global starry sky exploration.
For example, the European Union launched navigation satellites and established the Galileo navigation system.
A launch with its own rocket can cost $100 million, and $60 million with Space X.
If it is through the mortal starry sky, the price is only 40 million US dollars.
It's much cheaper than the cost of their own launch, do you say they will continue to burn money and launch by themselves, or will they save a sum of money and hand it over directly to the mortal starry sky?
The answer can be known by thinking about it with your nose!
It can be said that the launch vehicle is a high-end club with huge profits!
To figure out this, Wang Fan directly convened a relevant meeting.
First communicated with Dugu Shuai about the layout of mortal navigation.
Regarding the plan proposed by Wang Fan, Dugushuai didn't believe it at first at all, but when he saw Wang Fan's specific plan, he was directly dumbfounded.
A person was locked in the office and studied for three days, except for going to the toilet and eating, and he didn't even go out of the door.
Three days later, Dugu Shuai found Wang Fan early in the morning and said bluntly:
"Wang Dong, Wang Dong, you are really a genius, the mortal navigation system you designed, from satellite deployment to ground reception layout, there is no problem at all!"
Wang Fan nodded: "You can use three days to study clearly, you are also a talent." ”
Dugu Shuai had a black line: "Chairman, don't bury me!" Once such a mortal navigation system is deployed, GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, built and unbuilt, can be stopped. Compared to your mortal navigation, they're the stuff of the last world. For example, your mortal navigation is a mortal mobile phone, and their GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidou are all feature phones, no, it's Big Brother! ”
Wang Fan was dumbfounded, looked at Dugu Shuai again, and said meaningfully: "Aren't you quite good at slapping horses?" How could you fall out with the Beidou authorities and still can't find a job? ”
"Ahem." Dugu Shuai smiled awkwardly:
"That, chairman, I'm not a sycophant, I'm really convinced of you. Those of them, a bunch of scum, except for the old ones who let me obey, in other aspects, phew! But you, I'm really convinced. Your navigation system, if you have to talk about the realm, it is the final realm of Dugu's defeat, and there are no tricks to win! ”
"I'll make it!" Wang Fan shook his head: "You kid is a sycophant, I don't know what to say!" ”
"Haha." Dugu Shuai smiled:
"The only question now is whether the kind of satellite you are talking about can really be mass-produced? There is also the issue of launches, which I am skeptical. After all, according to you, but the cost of satellite design is tens of billions of dollars! And the cost of launch, the cost of ground deployment ......"
The launch vehicle costs $60 million at a time, which is considered cheap.
Satellites, on the other hand, are expensive depending on the level.
For example, the big bird spy satellites of the United States cost hundreds of millions each, and a recently launched classified spy satellite is said to cost as much as $1 billion!
Similarly, for mortal navigation, 24 satellites alone cost tens of billions!
Wang Fan nodded: "Yes, you get what you pay for, our satellites with precision, quality, and longevity are destined to be costly, and there is no way to do it." But in terms of launch costs, you don't have to worry! ”
"Okay, I'll start organizing people and carrying out related work. There is no way to do it in the sky for the time being, but other architectures such as the ground and software have begun to be deployed. "Dugu Shuai has participated in the research and development of Beidou and is very familiar with these.
