Chapter 987 is all castrated version

The main reason for Liu Shiqing to build the space base is to lay a solid foundation for the development of the space industry of Galaxy Industry, and at the same time, it also provides a foothold for him to drive a spaceship to travel in space in the future, so as to provide a foothold for replenishment and secondary take-off.

However, the universe is vast, not to mention anything else, if you want to be suitable for normal flights between the earth and the moon under the existing technical conditions, it is definitely not enough to set up a space base alone. The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384,000 kilometers, and the main service object of the space base will undoubtedly be the Earth, and in order to reduce the difficulty of the process of building the space base, it is determined that the space base cannot be too far from the Earth.

All the space stations built by mankind in history, whether it is the Salyut series of space stations built in the Soviet era, the Mir space station that continued to the Russian period, or the International Space Station built by international cooperation, or the Sky 1 space station independently built by China, they all have a common feature, that is, they all use low-earth orbit. Salyut 1 to Salyut 6 all fly in orbits at an average distance of about 250 kilometers from the ground, and Salyut 7 and Salyut 8, as well as the Mir space station, the International Space Station, the Sky 1 space station, and so on, all operate in orbits of about 350 kilometers.

The smaller the diameter of the orbit, the more propellant the space station or other space equipment needs to consume, the heavier the burden on the space equipment, and the higher the cost of the space equipment. Of course, in the most ideal state, it is to push space equipment such as space stations or artificial satellites into geostationary orbit, but the average diameter of this orbit is as high as more than 35,000 kilometers, which is too far away from the earth. And the technical difficulty is several times higher than that of transportation to low-earth orbit.

Even if Galaxy Industry has this financial resources, whether to build a space base in geostationary orbit, Liu Shiqing also has to weigh it carefully, after all, he is not engaged in space base to engage in scientific research and show off technical strength, but more to make money and accumulate the capital of Galaxy Industry.

If the space base is put into geostationary orbit, then the difficulty of replenishing the space base, daily maintenance or something, will become very difficult, in the current technical conditions and financial background, this idea is still a little unwise.

What Liu Shiqing can do is to settle for the next best thing, and temporarily build the first space base of Galaxy Industry into low-earth orbit, as for the average directness of the orbit, Liu Shiqing has also thought about it, about 350 kilometers.

At this orbital altitude, the spaceplane manufactured by Galaxy Industry is fully capable of supporting the space base, replenishing the space base in real time, transporting astronauts, scientific researchers and tourists, etc.

Of course, if you want to make a profit from the space base, it is certainly not possible to rely on scientific research alone, and building factories on the space base to produce some high-end products that cannot be produced on the earth, in addition, engaging in space tourism, appropriately developing space real estate, and so on, are all effective channels for expanding the profitability of the space base.

"Vice Chairman Ji, ladies and gentlemen, in the planning of our Galaxy Industry, after the construction of this largest space base in the history of mankind is completed, it will accommodate about 10,000 people to live and work on it at the same time. 10,000 people may not sound like much, but it is a great breakthrough, after all, the number of people on the International Space Station and the Sky 1 space station is about a few people, and 10,000 people is four orders of magnitude more. Of these 10,000 people, we hope to free up about half of the quota for space tourists to raise funds to keep the space base running. The remaining 5,000 or so places will be for scientific researchers, skilled workers and necessary management personnel. ”

Liu Shiqing introduced the basic situation of the space base, and answered the questions of Ji Yonglin and others from time to time.

"If the first space base can be successfully operated, then we hope to be able to build more space bases on the basis of this space base, and our ultimate goal is to build a space base in geostationary orbit above the equator, where I have chosen, right over the Maldives. We have communicated with the Maldivian government and do not have any problems in this regard. ”

Ji Yonglin said: "Comrade Xiao Liu, what you said is so lively, it sounds good at first glance, but there are some things I still want to ask a few more words?" What is the approximate total investment in the space base? How much does it cost to maintain it? How much output value can it achieve? Is this space base a cornucopia of money, or a gold-swallowing monster? Your Galaxy Industry or your Comrade Xiao Liu is ambitious, at the same time, you are spreading out such a big stall, and you are engaged in underwater cities in the East China Sea, and you are engaged in desert transformation in the border provinces, and now there is another space base, can Galaxy Industry afford it? ”

Liu Shiqing smiled faintly, "As long as you tighten your belt and find a few more partners, you can always make up the money." As for the amount of investment in the space base? Maintenance funds or something? I can only give a rough number of these, the total investment should be more than one trillion Chinese coins, and the daily maintenance expenses will be between 30 billion and 50 billion Chinese coins per year, of course, these are estimated figures, and the specific amount needed depends on the actual operation status. ”

The annual maintenance cost is 30 billion to 50 billion, which is far lower than Ji Yonglin's expectations, and they estimate according to the operating cost of the Sky 1 space station, if the space base really wants to reach the scale of 10,000 people, then the daily maintenance cost must at least double or even triple the number Liu Shiqing said.

However, they are only estimates, and they dare not say that their estimates must be correct, after all, what kind of technology Liu Shiqing will use to build a space base, only Liu Shiqing himself knows, just like the Galaxy spaceplane, before it is built, they will never know what the Galaxy spaceplane looks like, and how much difference its daily operation and maintenance costs are compared with ordinary fighters. These are not predictions that can be accurately estimated.

Ji Yonglin, Chang Wanshui and the others exchanged glances with each other, and then Ji Yonglin spoke: "Comrade Xiao Liu, you invited us here just to show us your space base plan, right?" Say, what are you bending your bowels again? Just light it up. ”

Liu Shiqing smiled, "Vice Chairman Ji, I don't know if you still remember that on New Year's Day, at Ulan Bu and the launch site, I once mentioned in front of you that I wanted to buy the Sky No. 1 space station. It's been a few months, I don't know if the Central Military Commission has researched the results? ”

Ji Yonglin smiled, "I know that Comrade Xiao Liu, your thief heart is not dead, and everything you are worried about will not be pulled into your arms, and you will not give up." ”

Chang Wanshui said: "Mr. Liu, on the issue of the Sky No. 1 space station, the Central Military Commission organized the General Armament Department, the China National Space Administration, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other departments to hold many meetings. I know that at present, a relatively unified result has not been achieved, but if the principle of the minority obeying the majority is followed, more than 50 percent of the people still agree to transfer the operation of the Sky No. 1 space station to Galaxy Industry. But there is a certain majority, and this majority is also a weak majority, only more than 50 percent, not even 51 percent. If it is necessary to say that the differences on this issue are evenly matched, it is not impossible. Therefore, it is inconvenient for the troops to rashly promise you anything. ”

General Chen Debiao, chief of the General Staff of the General Staff, said: "Comrade Xiao Liu, if you really want to build a space base, you don't necessarily have to buy the Sky No. 1 space station, you can also rent or borrow it. As long as the property rights are not transferred, the big guys have no opinions, and the vast majority of comrades are still in favor of leasing the Sky No. 1 space station to Galaxy Industry. ”

"I see." Liu Shiqing nodded.

Ji Yonglin patted Liu Shiqing on the shoulder, "Comrade Xiao Liu, all roads lead to Rome, and if this road doesn't work, just change the road." The tree is dead, the person is alive, can the living person still suffocate urine? ”

Ji Yonglin and they visited the second real yàn room for more than an hour, and then left, when the second real yàn room was built, it cost a lot of money, but if you talk about the total area, it is actually not large, at least it is impossible to compare with the area of the research institute under the control of the military. Ji Yonglin: The fact that they were able to stay in the second real yàn room for such a long time is mainly because there are many things that attract them in the second real yàn room. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these people who are in charge of everything to spend so long in the second real room.

After this contact, Liu Shiqing knew that the possibility of wanting to buy the Sky No. 1 space station was almost equal to zero, and the possibility of a successful operation was very small, Liu Shiqing simply stopped thinking about it, and the military agreed to lease the Sky No. 1 space station to Galaxy Industry, which was enough for Liu Shiqing to complete a lot of work, anyway, the main purpose of the reason why he wanted to buy the Sky No. 1 space station was to use the Sky No. 1 space station as a springboard to use in the construction of the space base, and after the space base was completed, Make some necessary modifications to the Sky One space station as an auxiliary space station to the space base. But now it seems that the plan is about to be revised.

At the end of May 2018, a joint business delegation composed of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and other Arab countries visited WÈN together. The business delegation was of a very high standard, with several of them members of the royal family of various countries, and some of them serving as senior government officials in their own cabinets.

The business delegation first went to the headquarters of Galaxy Industry and reached a package purchase agreement with Galaxy Industry. The Arab world is now a very important trading partner of Galaxy Industrial, which has helped many Arab countries build desalination treatment plants, providing them with a variety of weapons and equipment and daily necessities. In return, the Arab world pays Galaxy a large sum of money and sells millions of barrels of oil to Galaxy every year. Yinhe Industrial then sold the oil to domestic oil companies, and it could also make some money from it.

Yinhe Industrial's things are expensive, but they are absolutely easy to use, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality. Because of the advent of the oil age, the Arab world is so rich that everyone is rich, and the last thing they are afraid of is that things are expensive, as long as the quality is good, no matter how expensive things are, some people are willing to buy them. What's more, the Arab world is far away from China, and there is no substantive conflict of interest with China, so when Galaxy Industry launched trade with the Arab world, the openness was quite high, not to mention the various weapons and equipment sold to the Arab world, in terms of performance, either sold to the Chinese military in general, or slightly inferior to the weapons sold to the Chinese military, but far more than sold to other countries.

The Arab world's weapons and equipment, especially heavy weapons and equipment, are mainly dependent on imports, and the United States is one of the main sources of arms imports in the Arab world. However, the relationship between the United States and Israel is well known to the world, and the United States has always adopted a policy of supporting Israel in order to control the oil resources in the Middle East, and the top politicians in the United States have always adopted a policy of supporting Israel in order to win over the support of Jewish corporations. One of the most important manifestations is that all the weapons and equipment sold to Israel are basically the same as those equipped by the US military itself, almost identical, and the weapons and equipment of the same specifications, whether sold to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and other countries, without exception, are castrated versions, dismantling the most threatening weapon systems and control systems on them, replacing some of the last systems, or simply dismantling them, and there is no replacement system.

For so many years, the Arab world has imported a large amount of weapons and equipment from the United States and Europe every year, but the money is not at all comfortable, but even if it is uncomfortable, the weapons and equipment that should be bought still have to be sold, and if they are not sold, the gap between them and Israel's military strength will be even greater.

This situation, when Galaxy Industry began to set foot in the field of weapons and equipment, a fundamental reversal occurred, Galaxy Industry adopted an impartial attitude towards the Arab world and Israel, no matter what it is, Israel can buy it, the Arab world can also buy it, and whoever gives money will sell it to whomever it wants. For this reason, the Israeli government has communicated with Galaxy Industry many times, hoping that Galaxy Industry can do the same as the US arms dealers, and the Israeli government even sent special personnel to the headquarters of Galaxy Industry to lobby Shahari? The top management of Galaxy Industrial, including Majjderra, can only never change the approach of Galaxy Industrial.

Shahari? Majadra wanted to do something for his motherland, but he didn't have that much energy to change Liu Shiqing's approach. After all, Galaxy Industry is a Chinese enterprise, which has nothing to do with the Jewish consortium, and the total scale of business with the Israeli government and Jews is not large, on the contrary, the business scale with the Arab world is quite large. In this context, it is very good that Galaxy Industry can adopt an attitude of treating Israel and the Arab world equally. If it is really urgent, let Galaxy Industry thoroughly implement the principle of "if you have milk, you are a mother", then Israel is afraid that it will be ready to spend money and make trouble.

It is said that everyone is treated equally, but in practice, it is not treated equally.

First of all, Israel itself has a very strong capability in national defense science and technology, and the various weapons and equipment they produce themselves are very competitive in the international market; in those years, the Chinese military also sought to import airborne early warning planes from Israel, and even paid a deposit, but because the Americans were obstructed, Israel was forced to break the treaty and pay Huaxia a sum of liquidated damages. From this incident, it can also be seen how high the level of Israel's strong defense science and technology capability is. From this point of view, Israel does not need to import a lot of weapons and equipment, and it can completely produce it itself.

Second, Israel is a staunch ally of the United States, and the two sides can be said to be inseparable from Meng, and Meng is not separated from each other. Israel has a need to import weapons in some areas, and the first choice is to import from the United States. Israel is also usually able to import the best weapons from the United States at extremely good prices. Now, it is almost impossible for Israel to abandon the United States and import weapons and equipment from Galaxy Industry instead.

No matter how many Jewish conglomerates there are in the United States, and no matter how many Jews support every American president, it is impossible to get Americans to unconditionally support Israel without letting them see the oil and get benefits. For this reason, Israel is unlikely to hand over orders for arms imports, or orders for expensive and lucrative heavy weapons and equipment, to companies other than US arms dealers.

The Arab world has relatively fewer concerns in this regard, and they also have a very strong need for the United States, but they are not willing to be completely dependent on the United States, especially the United States' Middle East policy, which makes the Arab world feel a little chilly. In order to seek military superiority, since they cannot get what they want from the United States or Europe, they will naturally choose the Chinese military industrial enterprises, including Galaxy Industrial.

After the weapons and equipment of Galaxy Industry were installed in the troops of various countries, after the test of practice, the Arab world felt that the weapons and equipment manufactured by Galaxy Industry were very good, no worse than those made by the Americans, and no worse than those sold by the Americans to Israel. It is not difficult to understand why the Arab World will send such a large delegation to negotiate business with Galaxy Industry this time.
