In terms of space technology, the former Soviet Union is one of the pioneers and leaders, as a superpower, the former Soviet Union achieved manned space flight for the first time, in addition to the moon landing, basically the United States did it, the former Soviet Union has done it, and whether the United States people landed on the moon is still two words.

Inheriting the vast legacy of the former Soviet Union, Russia is one of the best in the world in many aspects of technology, such as space technology. It is a pity that due to the drag of the domestic economy, Russia's space investment cannot keep up, the space talent is lost, the space project is discontinued, and the space facilities are aging, and it is about to be eliminated by the times.

In this respect, Russia and China are in stark contrast. When the former Soviet Union was brilliant in aerospace, Huaxia was just a primary school student, and the former Soviet Union realized manned space flight in 1961, and Huaxia did not do it until 2003, which shows the gap between the two sides.

These are all in the past, though. At a time when Russia's development was stagnant, the pace of the Chinese people was getting faster and faster. Now, 16 years have passed, China's aerospace industry is thriving, and fruitful results have been achieved in various fields, lunar exploration and lunar landing projects have been launched, and robots have been sent to Mars. It can be said that even without the sudden rise of Penglai Island, it is already a matter of time for China to surpass Russia.

Of course, although the glory of Russian aerospace is no longer there, the foundation is still very good, and Tsar Pin is paying more and more attention to this field, and in the face of unsatisfactory economic development, he still increased investment, which shows his ambitions.

Last year, Russia undertook 10.5 billion yuan in research funding from the International Space Agency and 28 billion yuan to build a base on the moon. But. Because of Russia's finances, the lunar base is not paid in cash, but with other resources.

"Mr. Lu, it seems that the people of the United States really have no plans to join the International Space Agency." Ptsar commented about SpaceX's space shuttle.

Lu Yang shrugged: "The people of the United States are used to being the boss, and the appetite is not something we can satisfy." Moreover, they also have proud capital, I have learned that although SpaceX's space shuttle is not worth mentioning compared with Space One, compared with previous space shuttles, it is not only low in cost, advanced in performance, and the cost of flight is also greatly reduced. It can be said that this is a good space vehicle. ”

The Pu Tsar nodded imperceptibly, he was still very envious of the technology of the Mi people. Of course, in his opinion, Russian scientists are not inferior to those of the United States, but they do not have research funds.

"Mr. Lu, don't you think that the people of the United States are developing space technology independently without joining the International Space Agency, don't you think this is a threat to the International Space Agency? Now it seems that they are still far from space aircraft, but who can guarantee that their technology will not develop by leaps and bounds? Or will they somehow acquire aerospace technology? The words of the Tsar were full of hostility towards the people of the United States.

Lu Yang is not surprised by this, the people of the United States do not look down on the Russians, and the Russians naturally do not want the people of the United States to be better. The two countries do not have a deep hatred, but the contradictions are indispensable, and perhaps mixed with the hatred of the Russians for the Americans.

"With the strength of the United States, if we want to affect their space program now, I'm afraid we can't do it." Lu Yang said noncommittally, "As for the aerospace aircraft technology, Mr. President, this is not something that the people of the United States can touch in a short period of time. As for how they got this technology through other means, it's not possible, and I'm still very confident in that. ”

"I don't doubt that." The Russian KGB is one of the most famous intelligence agencies in the world, and it has also sent many agents to Penglai Island to obtain technology, but those agents will be lost as soon as they enter Penglai Island. The Tsar also knew that the intelligence agencies of other countries and the KGB were treated the same. For this reason, Penglai Island is known as the black hole of intelligence agencies.

"However, whether or not the people of the United States can develop an aerospace aircraft, it is a threat to the International Space Agency, isn't it?" The Pu Tsar looked at Lu Yang and said, there was no meaning in his words.

Lu Yang raised his eyebrows: "In terms of our attitude towards the United States, we have a lot of common topics. ”

After saying that, both of them laughed.

"I wonder what Mr. President suggests?" Lu Yang asked.

Tsar Pu's eyes narrowed: "The space industry is the trend of commercialization and the future development, and I think the International Space Agency and its member states should play an exemplary role in this regard." At present, commercial space activities are mainly driven by Penglai Aerospace and SpaceX, perhaps we need more companies and capital to participate, and Russia is a good choice in this regard. ”

The words of the Tsar Pu seem to have nothing to do with the United States, but in fact, its central meaning is to contain the United States. Allowing more companies to participate in the competition will certainly have little impact on Penglai Aerospace Company, but it will be different for SpaceX. Although he said it very vaguely, Lu Yang still grasped this point at the first time.

"Promoting the commercialization of aerospace ......" Lu Yang weighed in his heart whether this would be beneficial to Penglai Island.

"Tsar Pu wants to rely on the International Space Agency and Penglai Island to suppress the aerospace enterprises of the United States, and the reason why the people of the United States are investing so many resources in the aerospace field now is because it is profitable. Among other things, the profits of space travel are well known. As long as SpaceX's space shuttle can win the trust of users, there will be no shortage of orders from NASA and the United States in the future, and this part of the money will be used for technology development, forming a virtuous circle......

Conversely, what if SpaceX fails? In other words, the International Space Agency will add some opponents to the Mi people and compete with the Mi people for the market in this area, which is a big blow to them. Listening to the meaning of the Tsar, he hoped that the Russian aerospace enterprises could get the aerospace technology of Penglai Island, and then compete with the United States, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Lu Yang quickly sorted out the intention of the Tsar, and admitted in his heart that it was a good idea.

"Russia also wants to expand its share of commercial space activities? However, this is not good news for me. Lu Yang touched his chin and said.

Seeing that Lu Yang did not refuse, the Tsar was secretly happy in his heart. It has not been a day or two since he sought cooperation with Lu Yang in the aerospace industry, and Lu Yang ignored him at all before. Now it seems that Lu Yang's attitude has softened.

"There are high-end and low-end in any market, and as far as I know, Penglai Island's products are all high-end. Even if Russia increases its investment in commercial aerospace, there is a clear difference in the market positioning of our two sides, and it will not compete with Penglai Island. I dare to say that the people of the United States also fought this idea. Moreover, Penglai Island only has one aerospace plane after all, which is far from meeting the market demand for space travel. The Ptsar urged hard.

Lu Yang was somewhat convinced, and from an economic point of view, Lu Yang's use of Space One was not reasonable. According to the current plan, Space One makes 12 space trips and 2 trips to the moon every year, and the latter is twice as profitable. If Space-1 were to reduce space travel and increase travel to the moon, the benefits would be greatly increased.

"This is a good idea, but Mr. President, with all due respect, the investment in the space industry is very high, and the people of the United States have spent more than $10 billion on the new space shuttle, and your country's economic situation may not be able to support this investment, right?"

When the Tsar heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and then he said calmly: "That's true, Russia is not an economic power like rice and China, and its income is limited. However, considering that the investment of the International Space Agency has been greatly reduced this year, 10 billion US dollars, we can still get it. ”

Lu Yang was taken aback, he looked at the expression of the Tsar Pu seriously, and made sure that the other party was not joking.

"The president is really heroic!" Lu Yang sincerely praised that as far as Russia is concerned, $10 billion is definitely not a small amount, and in the whole of last year, Russia's investment in the aerospace field was only $5 billion.

"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. President intends to take?" Lu Yang asked.

"We hope that the Russian Space Corporation will cooperate with Penglai Aerospace Company to jointly develop a small and economical space shuttle for future spacecraft launches and manned space travel......

Lu Yang bowed slightly, the Russian side had obviously studied it, and deliberately avoided the competition with Space One. It is actually very cost-effective to launch a spacecraft with Space-1, because its volume is there, and the flight cost is too high. If you simply launch satellites, unless you launch dozens or hundreds of them together, it will be a waste. In this regard, the small and economical space shuttle has an advantage.

"We can co-finance the creation of a new space company. I think that by combining the technological advantages of Penglai Aerospace Company with Russia's manpower and resource advantages, the new aerospace company will definitely be able to defeat SpaceX! ”

"What about the investments and shares of both parties?"

Pthar said a lot more solemnly: "According to our calculations, the total investment of this company is 20 billion US dollars, and we are willing to bear 70%, Penglai Aerospace Company to bear 30% of the investment, and to invest in technology." In terms of company shares, we account for 51%. ”

"The investment of 20 billion US dollars is indeed a large amount, and as far as I know, the market value of the Russian Aerospace State Group is not so high." Lu Yang sighed, "However, is it a bit too low for Penglai Aerospace Company's technology stock price of $3.8 billion?" ”

The Pu Tsar shook his head: "Mr. Lu, I don't mean to despise the value of your company's technology. What we need is not your company's latest technology, which is much simpler than aerospace aircraft technology! (To be continued.) )
