Feng Yu didn't think about buying satellites in Huaxia, but Huaxia's communication satellites have only reached the third generation of Dongfanghong, that is, the level of the international advanced in the early nineties. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And compared with the advanced satellites in the world at this time, how big is the gap?

Simply from an economic point of view, the service life of the third generation satellite of Dongfanghong is eight years, while the service life of the internationally advanced satellite is 15 years.

One is that an investment can be used for 15 years, and the other is that an investment can only be used for eight years, although the price difference is nearly doubled, but the cost of a satellite is not only the cost of the satellite, but also the cost of launch?

If someone else launches once, you have to launch twice, and now the price of launching satellites is also very high, why does Huaxia get involved in this field and launch satellites for some foreign countries? Because at this time, the minimum profit of launching satellites is more than 20 percent, and some can even be as high as more than 50 percent!

In addition to the United States, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, island countries, India and other countries are competing for this market, and the most leading of them is still the United States.

The second is Russia and Ukraine, because after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Ukraine have inherited a lot of former Soviet intercontinental missiles, which can be used as rockets to launch satellites with a slight modification.

Originally, these intercontinental missiles were strategic weapons that had been reduced in accordance with the US-Soviet agreement, and they could only be stored in the warehouse.

Not to say that it is zero cost, but it also makes their cost drop rapidly, which is the same in this rice country.

With the rise of China, India and other countries, coupled with the technological progress of some European countries, this market is not enough. After thinking about it, it is not cost-effective to move Russia, which is now poor and not afraid of war, and it is indeed relatively strong, so it found a way to start sanctioning countries in Europe and Asia.

The first to bear the brunt is Huaxia, which has the fastest rising speed.

At that time, Huaxia had just experienced a wave of layoffs and was in the throes of pain, and seeing that this throes were about to pass, and Huaxia's economy was about to develop rapidly, Mi Guo thought of a move.

First, a missile was crooked and blew up an embassy in China. Then he concocted a report saying that the rocket used by Huaxia to launch the satellite was an intercontinental missile. At that time, Huaxia used a multi-satellite Yixing rocket, in order to save costs, and in terms of economy, there was still a big gap between Huaxia and the United States.

This Yixing rocket is an intercontinental missile with multiple warheads. All of China's commercial satellite launches are aimed at covering up the development of military space and intercontinental missiles.

As a result, the United States did not allow Huaxia to launch the United States satellite, so that Huaxia could not receive an order to launch the satellite. Later, I saw that there were still other orders, so I intensified it, and any satellite with satellite components of the United States was not allowed to be launched by Huaxia, because they suspected that Huaxia had stolen the satellite technology of the United States!

The United States listed a series of trumped-up charges against Huaxia, not only saying that Huaxia stole their satellite and other technology, but also said that Huaxia stole their nuclear weapons technology, intercontinental missile technology, submarine technology, and so on.

Not to mention that if these technologies are really so easy to steal, then the security protection of the United States is too bad, even if it is placed in some weak countries, it is not so easy to steal, and it has stolen so much.

It is said that they completely negate China's scientific research and technology, and deny the contributions made by Chinese scientists. Of course, at that time, there were indeed many people who worked in the research institute in the United States and kept returning to China. But is it wrong for others to return to their homeland?

According to the people of the United States, every scientific and technological progress made by any other country in the world is stolen from the United States. If this technology is better than that of the United States, it is also achieved by stealing other technologies of the United States!

Of course, the representatives of the United States who later insisted on these remarks were speechless when they were refuted by Huaxia. But in any case, the United States has also imposed certain sanctions on China economically, especially seriously hindering the development of China's aerospace technology.

To put it bluntly, it is to see that China's military strength has grown too fast in those years, and its aerospace technology has grown rapidly, and it has felt threatened.

Another one is that they are afraid that China will unite with Russia, so the transcendent status of the United States will inevitably be challenged.

And this result prompted Huaxia to think of another way, that is, to cooperate with Europe. The influence of the United States on Europe is getting weaker and weaker, especially the United States wants to sanction Europe at every turn. Think about the island country that leaned towards the United States at the beginning, how miserable the island countries were when the United States had economic problems, which reminded many European countries.

So now Huaxia has purchased some satellites produced by the European company Cigna, including the first and second generations, and is ready to upgrade its own technology.

At the very least, the lifespan of the satellite should reach fifteen years.

There are more than a dozen transponders on a communications satellite, and the annual rent of a transponder is close to $100 million. A satellite, including the launch cost, is only a few hundred million dollars, and if a satellite can be used normally for 15 years, the profit will be at least ten times, or even higher!

If this aspect can be monopolized by the United States, then what a huge profit.

Fortunately, in Feng Yu's memory, Huaxia's satellite technology in the future will continue to catch up with the international advanced level, and in some aspects, it will even surpass.

Although the profits are still not as good as those of several large companies in Europe and the United States, they have been able to be self-sufficient, and even sell them to make money.

Even at this time, Huaxia's Changer bundle and other rockets can borrow a lot of orders from Asia, because they are the cheapest. Europe and the United States will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to launch a satellite, while China will only need $70 million. The difference of $30 million is not a small amount.

And now, Huaxia's satellite technology is still a lot worse, and even Russia is not good at commercial satellites. What Russia is best at is selling engines for launch vehicles, and even to the United States.

The profits in this area are obviously not as high as the profits of the entire satellite industry, and it can even be said that they are at the bottom. It was when Huaxia saw this that he planned to start anew, and he must not follow the old path of Russia and become a worker of a large European and American company.

Huaxia will also compete with Europe and the United States in the future, don't you want to monopolize this market? Huaxia provides packaging services, and the entire satellite system, including launch, operation, construction of ground stations, personnel training, etc., is fully inclusive, which is very attractive to many Asian and African countries.

This is a sell-out, but it is not a rental service like those companies in Europe and the United States. Being able to have autonomy is certainly more cost-effective than renting.

……

Two days later, both Ralph and Kirilenko fed back the news to Feng Yu, in which Kirilenko said that Russia's commercial satellites are not stronger than Huaxia's, and the price will not be cheap. And Ralph told Feng Yu that the companies he contacted were only willing to lease Feng Yu's satellites, but were not willing to sell them.

Feng Yu thought about it and decided to find a favor from his boss.
