Chapter 274: The Big Plan Begins
Just when the world is still slamming the South Korean government. Li Yue has already begun to lay out for his new strategy.
Accompanied by Li Jia and Liu Jian, Li Yue came to the China Space Agency.
"I don't know what Mr. Li needs our service when he comes to the aerospace department!" The director received an official letter from Momo Collective yesterday, hoping to come and visit the country's aerospace industry. Although it is called a tour, it is clear that there is business to be done.
"I just want to buy a few rockets to play with, isn't it going to be the New Year again in more than half a year! It feels like I'm here to buy fireworks!
When the director heard Li Yue's informal words, he didn't speak, just smiled and said nothing. He, Li Yue, can say whatever he wants, and his identity can't talk nonsense.
"I know that Mr. Li's company is a high-tech industry, but I don't know what needs us this time..." Originally, he wanted to take Li Yue to the exhibition hall to visit first, and first see the country's latest rocket models and the achievements of his ancestors. But after Li Yue sat there, he didn't move. In desperation, he had to ask Li Yue again about his intentions.
"I know that the country has launched the construction of the Beidou navigation network, and it has also launched two satellites. My company is also very interested in this area, and I would like to invest in the navigation field as well. I would like to invest in the country's Beidou system, but as far as I know, the country's plan is to start navigation in Asia in 2012. But I can't wait that long, I hope to be able to fund Beidou navigation, but I hope to be fully global by 2007. And for our company's navigation signals, we want military-grade, and we want to enjoy the same treatment as the military!" Li Yue said endlessly! A private enterprise actually wants a military signal.
The U.S. military's GPS error is 100 meters for civilian signals, 50 meters for signals to allies, and only within 1 meter for their own military. That's enough to signal their weapons systems to be unique in the world!
"Military signals?" isn't this kid brain-burned!' the director muttered to himself. And what does he think Beidou navigation is, this is not fireworks, you can buy as much as you want.
"Li is always like this, the planning of this project is planned by the superior leaders according to the decision of the central government. The specific progress has also been demonstrated by experts, and you should know that we are still in the stage of exploration and growth. Now our plan is to complete the global network in 2020, and it is only 2002. If you want to get a global positioning signal in 2007, this is obviously unscientific and extremely unrealistic. The director patiently explained. Although Li Yue is not very old, he has a huge amount of energy. This kind of person director doesn't want to offend, and the space department does need funds for development, but what he asks for is a bit unrealistic.
"I suggest that the Director better report my intentions for today, you have no authority to make a decision on this matter. And I also have a backup plan, my company can buy the launch business, just according to your market price, I will design and produce the satellite myself, and then you can help me launch to the designated location. Isn't this a difficult task for you? Isn't China's aerospace industry always looking for customers internationally? I want to make sure that by 2007, 35 satellites will be launched to complete the global network. On average, it's only 5 satellites a year!"35 satellites can make people around the world, and 4 satellites can be observed in each location. This kind of quantity and location services can fully meet the positioning needs!
The cost of launching a 1 kilogram into orbit is $12,000 to $15,000. In the entire commercial satellite industry chain, according to the internationally accepted algorithm, the average launch of each satellite, the satellite manufacturing cost is about 120 million US dollars, the rocket cost is about 25% of the satellite cost, about 30 million US dollars, the launch cost is also 25% of the satellite, which is 30 million US dollars, and the insurance premium is about 20% of the first three, 36 million US dollars, totaling about 216 million US dollars.
This amount of money is not a matter for Li Yue. He can also design his own rocket system, but if he can support his country's space industry, why not!
In fact, navigation satellites are not something that can be bought with money, and the Americans will not sell their own satellites, and if they develop their own satellites, they need not only money, but also a large number of technical personnel. However, according to my understanding, Mr. Li does not seem to have such a professional talent. I still suggest that Mr. Li invest money in the Beidou navigation network, as for the signal level, the civilian signal is enough to meet your company's daily use." The director once again persuaded Li Yue and said.
"Thank you Director for your kindness, but due to the development of the company's business, I must use ultra-high precision GPS before 2007! I look forward to cooperating with China's aerospace industry! Thank you!" Li Yue stood up.
Not long after Li Yue left, the director reported Li Yue's thoughts.
Soon the top management held a secret meeting to study this 'big business'.
"High-precision signals, this is a state resource, this thing cannot be touched by anyone except the state power department. This should not be on the agenda of our meeting!"
"Didn't Li Yue say that he could design and build it himself? He paid for us to launch, just like the other customers, and I think it's a good idea. Do we still have any need to talk about it?" "Is there any difference between accepting other customers' launch missions and Li Yue's launch missions? As long as he can pay before the launch!"
"What does a private company want such a high-precision satellite positioning signal? In my opinion, we should be cautious!" said one person worriedly.
"We have no problem launching military satellites for other countries, but what's wrong with launching satellites for our own enterprises? As long as we don't provide him with signals, it's enough for him to develop his own satellites. "There were dissenting opinions.
"You don't think so, he wants to lay out 35 satellites by 2007. Will his project be in conflict with the state's project!"
"According to your concerns, the United States has long had GPS, so our Beidou is not a conflict. We've launched military satellites for other countries, so what are you worried about? If we don't take this business, whether Li Yue will fall to the United States is not a small number. We need this money for our aerospace industry. ”
The on-site meetings became more and more intense, and most of the opinions of everyone were not in agreement. Some people even proposed that they could launch for Li Yue, but they had to have half of the satellite management authority.
