Chapter 451 One More World-Class University
Everyone present took note of the time Lu Yang said, for them, the only thing to worry about when traveling to space was safety, and if Space One could prove its safety, these people would definitely not miss such an opportunity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What, the cost issue? For the invited guests of this test flight, is the cost an issue?
"Lu Yang, the country wants to thank you!" The president personally toasted Lu Yang.
"President, you're talking too seriously." Lu Yang hurriedly said, "I just did what a Chinese person should do." ”
"If everyone in Huaxia could be like you, I'm afraid we would have dominated the galaxy long ago." The Prime Minister joked.
"Dominating the galaxy is a bit of a hang, but there is hope for the solar system." Lu Yang touched his wine glass with the prime minister.
The first test flight of Space-1 will take place in five days, during which it will first orbit the Earth and launch 36 satellites in the corresponding orbit, which is also one of the first missions of Space-1. A day later, Space-1 will detach from Earth's orbit and head towards the Moon, but on its first Earth-Moon flight, Space-1 will be slightly slower and will approach the Moon in about 10 hours. On the Moon, Space-1 will also deploy 36 neutrino satellites to achieve full coverage of the Moon.
Lu Yang's goal is to develop the moon's resources, and before he can do so, he must get as much information about the moon as possible, and neutrino satellites are his first attempt.
Because it was the first flight, Lu Yang did not plan to land on the moon, nor did he prepare to launch robots to the moon, but only launched satellites. When Space-1 completes this mission, it will return to Earth on the third day, and it will return a little faster.
On the fourth day, Space-1 will continue to conduct various tests, and under the operation of Pangu, Wang Cheng and others will conduct spacewalks. In addition, Space One will also try to clean up some of the space junk, which is definitely a difficult job.
The fifth day is the last day of the first flight, and after making sure that there are no problems, Space One will go directly into the atmosphere and land at the Penglai Space Center at around 11 a.m.
This is the plan for the first flight of Space One, which Lu Yang has not yet announced to the public, and it was not until after the first flight ceremony that he told the president and prime minister about them.
"If you want to fly to the moon, you have to launch a satellite outside the moon, Lu Yang, you are really bold." The president was already numb by Lu Yang's shock.
"Isn't the first flight only five days, enough to get to the moon?" The prime minister couldn't help but ask when he thought that it took more than ten days for Chang'e-1 to enter the lunar orbit.
"Equipped with an ion engine, Space-1 can also accelerate in space, reaching the moon in four hours at full speed." Lu Yang said.
"Ion engine, four hours ......" Prime Minister once again refreshed his perception of aerospace aircraft.
"Lu Yang, the aerospace aircraft is too important to Huaxia, I hope you can provide technical support to China!" After chatting about the test flight plan, the president said to Lu Yang very seriously.
Lu Yang said: "I understand this, but I hope to adopt a cooperative model of mecha research and establish a space center on Penglai Island, both as a research institution and as a university." ”
The president and prime minister of "this ......" obviously didn't want to agree, and the reason why they gave in to Lu Yang in the research of mecha was because the mecha technology was too high-end, and there was no clue in China, so they had to rely on Lu Yang completely.
However, in terms of aerospace technology, the president and prime minister are still very confident, and with the speed of China's progress, it is no problem to surpass the United States, at least not worse than Russia, and rank second in the world. According to their assumptions, as long as Lu Yang is willing to provide technical support, it will not be long before China will be able to build its own aerospace aircraft, so as to completely surpass the United States and become a space superpower.
"President, Prime Minister, the space plane is not as simple as you think." Lu Yang saw their thoughts and had to say, "Even if I give you all the technology, don't think about manufacturing it in China within thirty years." It's like giving a domestic Airbus A320, can we imitate a large aircraft? And the technology of the aerospace aircraft is more than the Airbus A320, I don't know how much! ”
"The domestic aerospace foundation is not bad, but the aerospace aircraft is a revolution in the aerospace industry, with all due respect, the domestic technology accumulation may not be used, and it may also hinder the progress of technology. The manufacture of aerospace aircraft is very sophisticated, and it must rely on intelligent robots, which is not only costly, but also inefficient. And in terms of intelligent robots, Penglai Island is definitely ahead of the times! ”
Lu Yang slowly spread out his reasons, wanting to disrupt their plans.
"Lu Yang, how much does Space One cost?" The Prime Minister asked with a deep sigh.
Lu Yang said: "Strictly speaking, it cost me 130 billion yuan to build Space One. ”
"130 billion?" The president and the prime minister took a breath and couldn't help but wonder if it was necessary for China to spend 130 billion yuan to build an aerospace plane at this stage.
As a space power, China invested more than 200 billion yuan in the aerospace industry last year, of which the five major commercial projects invested more than 100 billion yuan, and in terms of the income of the Chinese government, 130 billion yuan is not impossible to get.
The point is that it is not cost-effective for Huaxia to manufacture aerospace aircraft at this time. First of all, Huaxia does not have this technology, and can only rely on Penglai Island if it wants to manufacture, and secondly, the aerospace aircraft is a bit of a knife for Huaxia, and its ability far exceeds Huaxia's needs. Finally, in the eyes of the president and the prime minister, the 130 billion made aerospace aircraft will definitely lose money.
If Huaxia really needs it, it can rent Luyang's Space One.
Lu Yang saw the change in their faces, and smiled secretly in his heart, what he said about 130 billion was a bit exaggerated, but in fact, the manufacturing workshop and intelligent robots were counted. If Lu Yang builds a second aerospace aircraft, the cost will not exceed 70 billion.
"The central government will study this issue again, but in principle, the prime minister and I agree." The president said.
Lu Yang is very happy, if he can get domestic support, the construction of the space center on Penglai Island will be much smoother, and at the same time, he can already expect another world-class university on Penglai Island.
The next day, the world was still immersed in the successful test flight of Space One, and the TV news was full of the figure of Space One traveling in the universe, and at this time, Wang Cheng and his team were flying Space One towards the moon. (To be continued.) )
