Chapter 953 Ulan Bu and the base

As an important part of the galaxy space, Ulan Bu and the launch site have been preparing for construction long before the establishment of the galaxy space. It covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, which is not a large area, and compared with the area of about 2,800 square kilometers of the state-owned Dongfeng Space City (Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center), which is quite well-known in the world, the area of 1,000 acres is pitiful.

However, the difference in area does not mean that the functions of Ulan Bu and the launch site are worse than those of Dongfeng Aviation City. All the technologies of Galaxy Space are the most advanced technologies in the world today, if there is a ready-made, you will buy, if there is no ready-made, it will be manufactured by Liu Shiqing.

In addition, the current structure of Galaxy Space is relatively simple, the whole company is full of calculations, only two space planes, one is about to be manufactured, and the other has just had a prototype, and it will take more than half a year to be manufactured. In terms of the number of employees, the total number of employees in Galaxy Space does not exceed 500, which is not at all an order of magnitude compared with the scale of tens of thousands of people in Dongfeng Space City, a difference of nearly 100 times.

At the beginning of the establishment of Galaxy Space, Liu Shiqing had a very clear plan, one is to develop the space industry, and the other is to accumulate experience for the realization of his space dream. In contrast, the task to be undertaken by Dongfeng Space City is much more complicated.

The overall layout of Ulan Bu and the launch site is still relatively simple, mainly consisting of a space plane hangar, a space runway, a command and control tower, an office building, an assembly workshop, a staff dormitory building, a library, an astronaut training center, a garden, etc., and the largest area is the runway, and the European Airbus A380 will not have any problems landing on it.

Liu Shiqing took Chang Wanshui, Hong Dalei and others to the assembly workshop, the main manufacturing and assembly work of the space plane was completed in the Yinhe Industrial Park in Wuling City, and then transported by the Flying Eagle heavy transport helicopter owned by Yinhe Industry to Ulan Bu and the launch site, where the final assembly work was completed.

The assembly of the spaceplane has entered the final sprint stage, and when I walked into the assembly workshop, I saw the spaceplane parked in the center of the workshop at a glance, and a huge scaffold was built around the spaceplane, and there were many people standing on it, some were welding and grinding operations, and some were holding professional equipment to do a physical examination of the spaceplane.

The entire spaceplane has been assembled, the fuselage, wings and other parts have been assembled together, and if it weren't for the large number of workers around the fuselage, some people would believe that it was a finished spaceplane.

Liu Shiqing swept his eyes and saw Shu Yifeng, the chief engineer of Galaxy Space, "Academician Shu, come here." ”

Shu Yifeng was explaining something to the technicians, and suddenly heard Liu Shiqing's shout, he was somewhat taken aback, he hurriedly whispered a few words to the technicians, and then crossed the crowd and strode towards Liu Shiqing, "Mr. Liu, why are you here?" Before you come, how can you say hello, so that Mr. Shao can organize people to welcome you. ”

Liu Shiqing waved his hand, "These red tapes are avoided, I don't love these." By the way, Academician Shu, this is General Chang Wanshui, Minister of the General Armament Department of the People's Liberation Army, and Lieutenant General Hong Dalei, Vice Minister of the People's Liberation Army. Two generals, this is our chief engineer of Galaxy Space, Academician Shu Yifeng. ”

Chang Wanshui and Hong Dalei laughed in unison, "Mr. Liu, we are old friends with Academician Shu." Academician Shu, when the Central Military Commission issued an order to transfer you from the Academy of Space Technology to Galaxy Space, I heard that you were not very happy. To tell you the truth, our General Armament Department is not very willing. But looking back now, the Military Commission transferred you to the galaxy at the beginning, and you still made the right move. ”

Shu Yifeng was a little surprised, "Two generals, I can't look back on the past." If I had known that Galaxy Space could build such an advanced spaceplane, let alone that the Central Military Commission had ordered me to be transferred, even if the Central Military Commission did not issue an order, I would have taken the initiative to apply for a report and ask for a transfer. In the past year or so in Galactic Space, I have really received a lot of education and received a lot of fields that I have not been exposed to before, and I have benefited a lot. ”

Hong Dalei said with a smile: "Academician Shu, don't say much about your feelings, this time Minister Chang came with me, the main purpose is to see the spaceplane made in Milky Way. You're the chief engineer in charge of building the spaceplane, tell me about when you'll be able to finish building the spaceplane? When will I be able to test fly? When will it be able to send it on its first mission? ”

At the mention of the spaceplane, Shu Yifeng's eyebrows fluttered, "Mr. Liu, the two generals, judging from the number of jù collected so far, in half a month, the assembly of the Milky Way spaceplane can be completed." From the manufacture of the engine to the selection of each nut and rivet of the Milky Way spaceplane, it has undergone a very strict assessment, and when each process is completed, there will also be a special audit committee to assess it. At present, I can responsibly say that every process is of the perfect grade, not even the excellent grade. According to this level, after the assembly of the Galaxy spaceplane is completed, after a major full-body inspection, it can be tested for flight. It will take about a month to have a physical examination and a test flight, and if there are no accidents, wait until mid-to-late February to officially carry out the mission. ”

Chang Wanshui counted on his fingers, "Mid to late February, isn't that time the time for the New Year?" ”

Shu Yifeng nodded, "That's right, it's the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dog in the lunar calendar." Launching a space plane at this time can be said to be the greatest New Year gift to the people of the whole country, and I believe that our people will definitely talk about this matter at that time, and the New Year will be more enjoyable than in previous years. ”

Hong Dalei said: "Before the Spring Festival, it is not impossible to give gifts to the people of the whole country, but science cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, safety must be the first, the people are waiting for the news of victory and triumph, not any accident report, let alone a tragedy." ”

Shu Yifeng nodded and said: "Of course, from the preparation of the space plane manufacturing team to the present, what I have been emphasizing is the concept of safety first, and no one dares to be negligent in this regard." ”

Chang Wanshui and Hong Dalei glanced at each other, "Mr. Liu, Academician Shu, we want to take a closer look at the Milky Way spaceplane." If possible, we would also like to look at the general assembly drawings of the Milky Way spaceplane, and it would be nice to have a discussion with the technical backbone of the Milky Way spaceplane. ”

Liu Shiqing didn't think about it, and said very happily: "No problem." Academician Shu, you immediately start preparing for this matter, and no matter what requests are put forward by Minister Chang and Vice Minister Hong, you will try your best to meet them. ”

The space plane can be said to be the biggest secret of Galaxy Industry, but it is also the highest among all the technologies that Liu Shiqing has mastered. First of all, the space plane is bigger, it involves national security, in this regard, it is unrealistic to keep the military secret, to put it small, the space plane is just a means of transportation, one of the main purposes of manufacturing it is to transport materials and personnel on the ground into space, and the series of the Galaxy spaceplane is not the best series of spaceplanes mastered by Liu Shiqing. It has a very obvious flaw, that is, it can only fly relatively close to space, and there is no problem in flying to the moon, but it is somewhat difficult to break out of the earth-moon circle.

Liu Shiqing does not feel that there is anything unacceptable about such a technology to be shared with the country and the military, after all, he still needs the support of the military. What's more, sharing the technology of Galaxy Space with the state is a prerequisite for the Central Political Bureau, the State Council and the Central Military Commission to approve the establishment of Galaxy Space, a private space enterprise.

Shu Yifeng himself is a technical officer, Chang Wanshui and Hong Dalei can be said to be two of the top generals in the military, and they hold one of the most important lifelines of the three armies. Even if Liu Shiqing didn't instruct, under the premise of Chang Wanshui and Hong Dalei's request, it would be difficult for Shu Yifeng to make a decision to refuse, and now that Liu Shiqing clearly told Shu Yifeng what to do, he would have no psychological obstacles.

Chang Wanshui and Hong Dalei followed Shu Yifeng away, Liu Shiqing, Guo Qianrong, Yang Nuoting They circled around the Milky Way spaceplane, and they didn't feel anything special, in the Milky Way Industrial Park, they didn't know how many times they had seen it, but at that time, it was a spaceplane that had not yet been assembled, and now it is almost assembled.

"Rong Rong, Sister Yang, let's go and see if Dean Lu is done with his work?" Saying that, Liu Shiqing took the lead out of the assembly workshop and found Lu Yongxiang, the old man was still personally staring at the movement of the clairvoyant space telescope, every time the staff moved the clairvoyant space telescope, the old man had to be anxious for a long time, for fear that someone would accidentally break the clairvoyant space telescope.

"Dean Lu, don't worry so much, the clairvoyant space telescope is not so delicate, and it is not so easy to break." Liu Shiqing said with a smile.

Lu Yongxiang didn't look back, "You don't know the price of firewood and rice, our country finally has such a space telescope, if it is destroyed in the hands of some people who don't understand its value and significance, when the time comes, I will have no place to cry." Come on, Mr. Liu, I don't have time to accompany you now, if you have anything to do, just go and get busy. ”

Liu Shiqing really has some things to do, he hasn't been to Ulan Bu and the desert for more than two years, how is the transformation here, whether the various subsidiaries of Galaxy Industry are developing smoothly here, he just knows what it looks like through the report submitted below, but what it actually looks like, he really doesn't know what it looks like.

I happened to come here this time, so let's take it with me to inspect it. Anyway, the clairvoyant space telescope has been built, and the Milky Way spaceplane is about to be completed, and he really doesn't have anything special to do for a while. In addition, he doesn't have any studies to complete now. At this time, it can be said that Liu Shiqing has been the most idle moment since the establishment of Galaxy Industry.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to combine inspections with tours. Liu Shiqing thought so.

There are not many subsidiaries of Galaxy Industry in Ulan Bu and the base, there are only six in total, namely Galaxy Space, Galaxy Agriculture, Galaxy Water, Galaxy Energy, Galaxy Carbon Industry, and Galaxy Heavy Industry. Other subsidiaries either have no business here, or the business volume is very small, and they are simply attached to a certain subsidiary, and they are too lazy to set up any branches or grandchildren here.

The main purpose of the three subsidiaries of Yinhe Agriculture, Yinhe Water and Yinhe Energy in Ulan Bu and the base is to implement the desalination project to the west, to put it bluntly, to use the desalination of Bohai water as irrigation water in Ulan Bu and the desert. Among them, Yinhe Water is responsible for the task of desalination and water transportation, Yinhe Energy is responsible for providing energy solutions for the entire project and the base, and Yinhe Agriculture is responsible for the use of the desalinated Bohai Sea, that is, farming in Ulan Bu and the desert.

The work of the three subsidiaries in Ulan Bu and the desert is closely related, and as the main beneficiary of the first phase of the desalination westward transmission project, the success or failure of the entire desalination westward conveyance project is related to the success or failure of the entire desalination westward transmission project. Therefore, none of the three subsidiaries, especially Yinhe Water and Yinhe Agriculture, dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Yinhe Industry contracted more than 10,000 acres of desert in Ulan Bu and the desert in the early stage, and then contracted some more after transporting the desalinated Bohai Sea, adding up to more than 23,000 acres in total. These lands are basically connected, only Ulan Bu and the launch site in the galaxy space are alone, which is also to better do a good job in the security of Ulan Bu and the launch site, and at the same time reduce the possible disturbance of the people caused by the space planes in Ulan Bu and the launch site. After all, when the spaceplane flies, it is still very loud.

The subsidiaries of Yinhe Heavy Industry in Ulan Bu and the desert are important business locations of Yinhe Heavy Industries, and all orders received by Yinhe Heavy Industries from the Chinese military and foreign militaries are produced in Ulan Bu and the base. After that, the various products are delivered to the person who placed the order in various ways. In the military industry, Yinhe Heavy Industry is mainly engaged in tanks, artillery, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, military vehicles and other businesses.

Since Yinhe Heavy Industry has shown good military design and production capacity, Yinhe Heavy Industry is one of the designated procurement units of the General Armament Department, and there are orders of one or two billion yuan handed over to Yinhe Heavy Industry every month. In May last year, the success of Galaxy Industry at the European International Land and Air Defense Exhibition attracted a large amount of orders for Galaxy Heavy Industries.

In contrast, the amount of orders issued by the Chinese military is not large or small, and the profits are relatively low, while foreign orders are very profitable, although the number of purchases by each country is limited, but the orders of all countries are accumulated together, which is very amazing, several times that of domestic orders.

The main purpose of Yinhe Carbon in Ulan Bu and the base is to absorb carbon dioxide in the air, condense it into dry ice, put it into a special sealed box, accumulate a certain amount, and transport it to Wuling City by air transportation, where it will be processed at the headquarters of Yinhe Carbon in Yinhe Industrial Park, and processed into diamond diamonds.

With so many subsidiaries, Liu Shiqing consulted Guo Qianrong's opinion, and finally decided to start with Galaxy Agriculture. In the final analysis, Yinhe agriculture is the foundation of Yinhe Industry in Ulan Bu and the desert, and if agriculture is not done well, it is equivalent to saying that the seawater desalination project is not successful, but a failure.

Yang Nuoting made a phone call, and soon, the Galaxy Space Ulan Bu and the launch site sent a white minibus over, and several bulletproof vehicles guarded the minibus. Liu Shiqing and the others got on the bus, and after that, the convoy slowly drove out of the Galaxy Space Ulan Bu and the launch site, heading towards the Galaxy Agriculture, which was dozens of miles away.

The area where Ulan Bu and the launch site and Galaxy Agriculture are located are paved with wide, high-labeled asphalt roads, but there are not too many vehicles on the roads. And around Ulan Bu and the launch site, there are no other enterprises, and there are no villages and towns. However, the environment around Ulan Bu and the launch site is still good, there are sparkling water waves in the road protection ditch on both sides of the road, and outside the road protection ditch, there are large woods and grasslands. There is still a gap between the woods, the grass and the Ulan Bu and the launch site, and there is nothing planted here, this is to ensure the safety of Ulan Bu and the launch site, one is to avoid the fire and affect the Ulan Bu and the launch site, and on the other hand, to prevent people from approaching Ulan Bu and the launch site under the cover of the woods and grass and causing damage.

These forests and meadows were built by the local government, which is also an effort they have made in terms of infrastructure construction in order to attract golden phoenixes like Yinhe Industrial.

After driving along the asphalt road for about 10 miles, pedestrians and vehicles began to appear on the road, houses and fields began to appear on the land on both sides of the road, and in some cases, factories, restaurants, shops, and other buildings could be seen. None of these buildings were built on a large scale, and were built here by locals or foreign gold diggers after the completion of the first phase of the desalination project to the west.

These buildings are basically built around the desalination project to the west, after all, they can't do anything without water. In addition to meeting the needs of Yinhe Industry and its partners, the remaining part of the fresh water conveyed by the seawater desalination project to the west is divided into three parts, two of which are responsible for meeting the industrial and agricultural water needs of surrounding households and enterprises, and a small part is released for the purpose of ecological protection.

It is precisely because of this released water that many wild animals in the desert have a fixed drinking point, and with water, there are also a lot of flowers and trees, which provide a source of food for wild animals.

However, the fresh water transported by the seawater desalination project to the west is limited after all, and it is extremely precious, and the water released every month is very limited, and it is impossible to form a complete water system in Ulan Bu and the desert. If we want to change the appearance of Ulan Bu and the desert, and completely turn the desert into fertile land and a place suitable for human habitation, we must also increase the import of fresh water.

The convoy traveled for less than half an hour before arriving at Galaxy Agriculture. The place where Yinhe Agriculture is located is named Ulan Buhe Town by the local government, which concentrates most of the industries of Yinhe Industry in Ulan Bu and the base, and is also a gathering place for those partners, and gold diggers from both local and foreign places also gather in this place.

The permanent population of the whole town has exceeded 10,000, and there are more than 10,000 but less than 20,000 floating people, either looking for opportunities here, or looking for a way, ready to settle here.

Galaxy Agriculture has moved its headquarters from Wuling City to Ulan Bu and the base, and the most important technical strength of Galaxy Agriculture is also here, which is also to show the determination of Galaxy Industry to develop in Ulan Bu and the desert, and it is also the employees of Galaxy Agriculture to show their strength and prove their ability to brother companies.

Galaxy Agriculture has been established for several years, the results are limited, for a variety of reasons, the most important thing is that there are too few students who are willing to be farmers now, so that they have not been able to recruit high-quality students, but students from Africa, the Middle East, and some Asian countries admire the reputation of Galaxy Agricultural School and apply for the examination. It is no exaggeration to say that among all the universities and colleges related to agriculture in China, Yinhe Agricultural School has the largest number of foreign students.

The research institute under Galaxy Agriculture has also made some achievements and cultivated some improved varieties of crops such as flowers, plants and vegetables, but these achievements are not enough to make Galaxy Agriculture show its big face in the Galaxy Industrial System.

The development of Galaxy Industry, since its establishment, can only be said to be unsatisfactory, say good, not much good, say bad, and have nothing to do with bad. However, it is also this kind of situation that is not small, which has a very direct consequence, the employees of Galaxy Agriculture are generally not well-paid, compared with the employees of other brother subsidiaries, less and pitiful, and the bonuses and benefits issued according to the company's performance are even worse, and there is no way to compare with other brother subsidiaries.

This situation makes Galaxy Agriculture up and down, are holding their breath, even if it is not for the interests of the company, purely for the sake of personal economic interests, Galaxy Agriculture can not always be so salty and indifferent. After the implementation of the seawater desalination westward transportation project, especially the completion of the first phase of the seawater desalination westward transportation project, the desalination of the Bohai Sea water has been continuously transported to Ulan Bu and the desert.

Galaxy Agriculture's efforts, Liu Shiqing when he entered the compound of Galaxy Agriculture, he felt that on the wall, you can see encouraging slogans everywhere, on both sides of the road, there are also a lot of billboards, what farming master selection list, what technical improvement master contribution list, etc., you can see traces of competition everywhere.

Before Liu Shiqing came, he didn't say hello to the people of Galaxy Agriculture, and it was impossible for Galaxy Agriculture to prepare now, not to mention, the notices on several billboards had obviously been some days, and even if Galaxy Agriculture could prepare in advance, it was impossible to prepare so well.
