Chapter 186: The Gap
What is the weight of the International Space Station currently in operation?
400 tons!
And how many transports did the 400-ton space station take before it was finally assembled?
50 times!
Moreover, these 50 times were completed by joint transportation by more than a dozen countries such as the United States, Russia, the European Space Agency, and the Brazilian Space Agency.
Even so, in the process of assembling the space station, the United States has wanted to terminate the project more than once.
But now, Wang Xiao can transport 50 tons to the sky at a time, and if he changes to the 400-ton International Space Station, it only takes 8 times!
The cost savings that can be made are eye-catching.
Of course, the Great Elder also knew that it would definitely cost money to ask Wang Xiao to help with the transportation, but with Wang Xiao's consistent conscience price, even if there were funds, I am afraid it would not be too high!
Moreover, there is another diǎn that has to be mentioned, that is-if you ask Wang Xiao to make a move, there will be no mistakes!
Even with the aerospace strength of the United States, there have been accidents more than once when launching aerospace rockets, and even the tragic accident of the space shuttle Columbia in 03 that killed all seven astronauts, so that the US space industry was forced to stop for two and a half years.
But if you ask Wang Xiao to make a move, it won't be the case, with Wang Aiguo's scientific and technological strength, even if you launch a thousand times or ten thousand times, there will be no mistakes!
This is the gap in technology!
Just like the use of abacus calculations in ancient times and the use of computers in modern times, the difference between them is like a judgment of clouds and mud.
……
"Mr. Wang, I will discuss this matter in a meeting after I go back, and I will give you a positive answer within two days."
The Great Elder pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Absolutely,"
Wang Xiao smiled diǎndiǎn head, and then said: "Actually, if you want something, whether it is the soil on the moon or the atmosphere on Mars, I can help you bring it back." ”
The Great Elder shook his head when he heard this, but was speechless.
Wang Xiao naturally knew that Huaguo would never let himself do these things, after all, (6) dǐng (6) diǎn (6) small (6) said, .⌒.o↖s_ (); They can't fully believe in themselves, and Wang Xiao is not naïve Daohua will really let him do these things, just say it in passing.
However, he didn't know that although the Great Elder did not agree to let Wang Xiao do these things, he secretly remembered the fact that Wang Xiao could travel between Earth and Mars.
Compared with the exploration of the moon, the exploration of Mars is undoubtedly more important to human beings, because Mars is the closest terrestrial planet known to mankind, and if one day human beings on the earth really fall into an existential crisis for some reason, then Mars will be the most suitable planet for human relocation.
After some more gossip, the Great Elder and his party left Dao Technology.
However, even though the Great Elder and his party had left Dao Technology, the impact of this incident had just begun to ferment.
As the leader of a country, especially in China, an official-oriented country, what does it mean for the head of a country to personally visit a company?
Safety charms!
From the moment the Great Elder visited, it meant that there would be no official resistance in the future development of Zhengdao Technology.
Of course, with Wang Xiao's means, he is not afraid of those who have ghosts in their hearts, but after all, this kind of trouble can be less.
Two days later, Wang Xiao received another call from Zhang Junshan, in which Zhang Junshan said that the China Space Agency had decided to let Wang Xiao transport the next part of Tiangong-2 into space!
Previously, Huaguo had transported the first part of the Tiangong-2 space station to space in 16 years, but for the huge body of Tiangong-2, it was only an extremely small part, according to the plan, the volume of Tiangong-2 is even larger than the International Space Station that is currently running, and its weight has reached an astonishing 500 tons!
"Okay, when do I need to ship it?"
Wang Xiao naturally had no opinion on this, and asked directly.
"At the earliest, next month will be fine."
Zhang Junshan gave the answer directly.
Because Wang Xiao's ability to transport 50 tons at a time was too shocking, the space agency immediately changed the original plan to carry out the batch transportation plan, and decided to make some improvements to the Tiangong-2 component module in the future, so it would delay some time.
Moreover, what Wang Xiao didn't know was that under the order of the Great Elder, Hua Guo had already begun to study manned lunar landing spacecraft!
As long as Wang Xiao can really perfectly transport the Tiangong-2 space station into space, the manned lunar spacecraft will immediately enter the development schedule.
"By the way, Mr. Wang, I don't know how much it costs to transport once?"
After saying some more details, Zhang Junshan asked.
Originally, this question should be the first to be confirmed, after all, if Wang Xiao's asking price is too high, the details after that don't need to be discussed at all, but after many cooperations, Zhang Junshan already knew that Wang Xiao was simply a model of a conscientious businessman, so he subconsciously thought that Wang Xiao's offer would not be high, so he asked this question at the end.
And Wang Xiao's answer did not disappoint Zhang Junshan - a delivery of 5 million US dollars.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junshan couldn't help but sigh secretly, you must know that the cost of satellite launch in the world is about 20 million US dollars, and this is just an ordinary satellite launch cost, and the cost of launching a high-end rocket like a space station is probably doubling.
And what about Wang Xiao? The cheapness of 5 million is directly given, which not only increases the shipping weight by nearly ten times compared with other institutions, but also guarantees after-sales.
"If Wang Xiao really has his own launch base, I'm afraid that the world's rocket launch companies will go bankrupt."
Zhang Junshan smiled bitterly: "But this is also something that can't be helped...... You know, even the controlled fusion device we bought before, we don't have a clue so far. ”
Some time ago, one of the controllable nuclear fusion devices that Huaguo bought from Wang Xiao was used for scientific research, but so far, not to mention what inspiration has been obtained from it, even the scientists of Huaguo can't understand the composition of the components inside!
Even one scientist was disappointed to say that this method of equipment composition is completely beyond the existing understanding on Earth.
You must know that no matter what large-scale equipment, its composition must follow certain principles of physics and mechanics, heavy below, light above, etc., but this is not the case with the controllable nuclear fusion device, the structure and composition of it are simply a mess in the eyes of scientists, such as a sudden non-conductor in a piece of metal, etc., which makes people wonder if the person who designed the device drank alcohol.
So, despite the fact that the controlled fusion device has been studied for several months, the progress of scientists is still limited to the composition of this device!
Zhang Junshan doubted that if he talked about it, he would become the laughing stock of the whole world.
However, Zhang Junshan prefers to believe that it is not that the level of the Chinese scientific community is too poor, but that the high-tech content of the items given by Wang Xiao is too high, so high that you can't understand it when you disassemble the items! (To be continued.) )
