Chapter 451: Extraordinarily High Project Budget

His identity is naturally different from Uncle Zhao, the phone call to Captain Zhang's confidential phone, the other party quickly answered, the two talked on the phone for a while, Xu Ziling only learned that the "Liaoning" was conducting a mission exercise at this time, so he did not send anyone over.

"All right?" Captain Zhang's tone revealed surprise, "The task has been heavy for a while, and I haven't paid attention to your side, and I thought it was not completed." ”

"Well, it's all ready, just waiting for the handover."

After discussing it, Captain Zhang decided to wait for the end of the mission to immediately send someone over to participate in the training, and then drive a few planes over, Xu Ziling has no opinion on this, they sent it to the past, and it is better for the other party to come over, because listening to what Captain Zhang said, the "Thunder Dragon" left on the aircraft carrier before has completely become a training aircraft in the past six months, and there are now many pilots on the ship who can already fly the "Thunder Dragon" proficiently, and there is no need to worry that no one can fly it.

The next day, the people sent by the general assembly to assist the "Space Hawkeye" project came over, Xu Ziling was the general person in charge of the project, so he naturally wanted to greet them, and what was surprising was that the leader would actually be Professor Xie, who he met at the Northern Satellite Launch Base.

After getting along with Professor Xie for a few days, Xu Ziling still admires him in terms of knowledge, although his style is a little old-fashioned, but this does not hinder his work, he is still quite satisfied with the fact that he can send such a "familiar" person to come, at least he doesn't have to reacquaint himself.

As for the place to settle down, when he was in the capital, he called the military factory to inform him, after so many days of preparation, the place to live and work has been arranged, settle down, Professor Xie does not need to take a break, and immediately asked Xu Ziling to take him to see the place of work, when he saw that everything was ready, he simply refused the two-day rest and reception banquet arranged for them, and directly asked to start work.

"I think you better take a break, don't rush to work first."

Xu Ziling is not a qualified capitalist, looking at the team of experts, there are many older ones, he is afraid that they will make some mistakes like this, so he advises Professor Xie to rest for a day or two before starting work.

But this group of people engaged in research are too rational, and without waiting for Professor Xie to refuse, a few gray-haired old experts rushed ahead of him and spoke, saying that if they can be a minute faster, things can be equipped a minute earlier, and the greatest contribution to the country is to start working now.

Everyone has put forward such a big reason, what else can Xu Ziling say? So he took out his initial system, let them start to improve it, and after explaining it, he left the place where they worked, because he was afraid that he would be ashamed if he stood on his own again.

"I heard those people started working?" As soon as Xu Ziling arrived at the office building, Xu Haoran, who happened to see him, asked him in surprise.

He should be busy when he is busy at work, but he has never seen such a serious group of people, hearing this news, he really can't believe it, he happened to see Xu Ziling, and he asked curiously.

"yes!" Xu Ziling smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to say, "I don't know what Lu Dao said, this thing is not in a hurry for the past two days, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" I stood up for a moment and quickly left, and others said that I was like crazy when I was busy, and I saw that I was a scumbag compared to them. ”

Xu Haoran could understand the distress in his son's heart at this time, and he was also a little afraid of seeing such a person, so he smiled, and then asked him if he would go home for dinner tonight, so he walked away.

The work attitude of these people spread all over the military factory at once, and when they came to Yang Ruolan's office, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, who were chatting and farting here, saw Xu Ziling and asked Xu Haoran the same question.

"Then those of us who have nothing to do will be ashamed to see them take a detour."

Confirmed from Xu Ziling's mouth, Li Cheng made a joke.

"Ha Lu Ha ......"

If you want to talk about idleness, there are three in this office now, Yang Kaiming, Li Cheng, and Liu Xin!

There are no certain things for a few of them every day, Liu Xin is okay, there is a role of Yang Ruolan's assistant, and she can also help get documents and make phone calls every day, but Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng are purely here to play, and Xu Ziling doesn't need them to follow him all the time, as long as they don't go out, the two of them don't go to the shooting range to shoot, they can only go to the workshop to see the plane, or go around the airport.

Just about to run into those workaholics, it's really self-deprecating.

The people sent from above came, and the long-distance "Eagle Eye" also needed to be raised, otherwise it would not be able to keep up with the rhythm behind, for this, Xu Ziling didn't have much time to chat with them, and after a few happy words, he left the office building and returned to his own office in the laboratory.

"Lion, do you have any good plans?"

As soon as he sat down, he discussed with the lion about super "Eagle Eyes".

"There is a solution." Hearing Xu Ziling's voice, the lion immediately ran out, "It mainly depends on how you choose, I suggest that you use a 35,000-kilometer one, this thing, arranged over the equator, adopts a synchronous orbit, and two are enough for the entire earth, but the volume is a little larger." ”

"Thirty-five thousand kilometers? You're not mistaken, right? Xu Ziling was taken aback by the lion, he hadn't discussed these with the lion before, but according to his considerations, it must be no problem to get thousands of kilometers, so that if you arrange three or five satellites with variable orbits, the whole earth can still be observed, but I didn't expect the lion to be 30,000 kilometers away as soon as he opened his mouth, "Then how big is this thing?" Can you figure it out? ”

The lion never said something uncertain, but he felt that it was a bit beyond the current production conditions, the thing was good, but if it couldn't be made, what was the use of a fart? So I was a little uneasy, for fear that the lion would have some negligence, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Ahem." The lion coughed twice, a little embarrassed, "The production is no problem, but the cost is a bit expensive." ”

"How much?" Xu Ziling heard that he could get it out, but he didn't care about his tone, and immediately asked the specific cost, in his opinion, expensive is not a problem at all, after all, it is definitely worth it compared to the effect produced after completion.

"One billion." The lion said weakly, "And it's dollars!" ”

"What?" Hearing this number, Xu Ziling couldn't help but stand up and howl in his mind, "Crazy, one billion dollars, this is not counting the cost of the satellite body and launch, that is to say, just to get these two things into the sky, it will take at least 2.5 billion US dollars to build a foundation?" ”

Normally, a complete satellite costs about $100 million, just like a commercial satellite, adding the launch and insurance costs together, and a successful launch of a satellite will cost $200 million.

But to get this "Eagle Eye", it will cost more than five times the price, which is really a bit amazing, although this project is paid for from above, and he does not need to give it, but the country's money is also money.

"It doesn't have to be $2.5 billion." After Xu Ziling finished speaking, the lion added faintly, "The volume is a bit large, and the largest satellite and rocket are needed to launch it." ”

“……”

Hearing the lion say this again, Xu Ziling was about to vomit blood, now the largest satellite in China is about to reach nearly 100 tons, and if you want to send such a heavy guy to space, you can imagine how much thrust the rocket needs to be enough, so it is estimated that it will cost at least 500 million US dollars more than the original estimate.

With a budget of 2.5 billion US dollars, he didn't know how to open his mouth, and now he actually said that 2.5 billion couldn't be done, and he really thought that this money was blown by the wind.

But when I think about it, this plan is indeed the most suitable, although the budget is a bit large, but the effect is definitely huge, once it is realized, even if it is to drive the submarine to the beach, there is no problem,

Will the above say yes? Just emitting this thing will cost 3 billion, and then replacing the existing equipment with a new generation, which is a lot of expense, just calculate, the entire plan is completed, at least tens of billions.

"Let's not jump to conclusions." Xu Ziling thought about it, and felt that it was better to talk to the above, if the above did not agree, it would be a waste of time and energy for him to do it again, "I'll ask and then decide." ”

The project is in charge of the general assembly, of course, Xu Ziling can only call General Fan Yi again, fortunately, because of the conversation in the capital before, General Fan Yi gave him the permission to dial the past, otherwise it will be troublesome to call him all the time.

"There's another thing to report." With such a large budget, Xu Ziling himself was a little embarrassed, and he was a little slurred when he spoke.

"Say it!" Fan Yi was in the office, asked a few people who came to report to work to pause, and listened carefully to the phone.

"That's right, now I have a plan here, two satellites, which can cover the entire earth without any dead ends, but the cost of those two pieces of equipment is a bit high."

"Come on, this isn't what you usually look like."

"Preliminary calculations, two billion US dollars, this is still the cost of production. And it needs the largest satellites and launch rockets to cooperate. ”

"Does it work the way you say it does?"

"That's totally fine."

"That means that the entire plan needs about 50 billion!" Fan Yi seemed to be talking to himself on the phone, and then gave Xu Ziling an answer, "No problem, if the effect can be as you say, the state can still take out this money." ”

Xu Ziling still underestimates the determination above, compared to ordinary satellites, the cost is indeed five times higher is indeed unacceptable, but from the perspective of the entire plan, once the entire platform is successful, how big is the role he plays?

Not to mention the information sharing of the three services, it is to be able to monitor every corner of the earth at any time, which is also a very great function, at least there is no need to launch reconnaissance satellites in the future, from this one, the extra dollars, casually earn back, but Xu Ziling He only thought that the cost is more expensive than others, and he never considered that once this thing goes to the sky, he can completely replace reconnaissance satellites, and even scientific research satellites, meteorological satellites, and so on.
