Chapter 345 Aerospace Investment Plan

Jiao Bai didn't care too much about the growth of his wealth, no matter how high the market value was, it was a restricted stock, and it couldn't be cashed out in a short time, but how to spend the billions of funds raised by the listing should be planned well, Jiao Bai called Clark and Hua Xinyuan to hold an impromptu meeting together to determine the next development direction of Xingchen Electronics.

Hua Xinyuan spoke first, saying, "The first thing we have to do is to expand the production capacity of virtual glasses and star drones, now these two commodities are in short supply, coupled with the gradual opening of the international market, the production capacity expansion of three times may not be able to meet the needs of the market." ”

Jiao Bai nodded and said, "Expanding production capacity is a must, and now there are hundreds of millions of funds, I plan to invest half of it on this, and the other half will be invested in the research and development of graphene general-purpose chips." The rapid development of silicon-based chips for so many years has approached the bottleneck, and the next few decades will definitely be the world of graphene chips. In addition, the Xingchen Research Institute is still doing the research and development of quantum computers, and its carrier is still graphene, and when the research and development is successful, it is likely to use similar production equipment to the current graphene chips. ”

Clark groaned for a moment and said, "Everything else is good to say about expanding production capacity, the plant can be built immediately, and workers can continue to be recruited, which are easy to solve, and the current capacity bottleneck is still on the graphene etching machine." At present, Xingchen Electronics only has two graphene etching machines, and the brainwave translation chips produced can fill the current production capacity, and if the production capacity continues to increase, there will be no chips available. ”

Jiao Bai touched his chin and said helplessly, "Graphene etching machine, I can think of a way, but don't expect too much, I can get one or two more at most." If you don't want to be stuck, you still have to be self-reliant, and I hope that these hundreds of millions will be smashed, and the people of the Xingchen Research Institute can imitate the graphene etching machine as soon as possible. ”

Hua Xinyuan opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask. In fact, what he wanted to ask was where the current graphene etching machine was produced, and if he could order a few more to come back. As early as a year ago, the graphene etching machine imitation project has been approved, and now nearly half a year has passed, and the funds that have been smashed into it are not one billion but also 800 million. As a result, the processing accuracy of the imitation graphene etching machine is two orders of magnitude worse than the two machines used now, and the yield of graphene chips is even more miserable. In Hua Xinyuan's view, if it is purely relying on the strength of the Xingchen Research Institute, it will not be possible to complete this project in two or three years, and the amount of money that needs to be invested is even more astronomical, and it is better to directly purchase the finished product.

Jiao Bai naturally saw Hua Xinyuan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and he could roughly guess his doubts, but the matter of shuttling through the end of the world was his biggest secret, and it was impossible to share it, so he had to divert the topic and ask Clark, "I asked you to apply to the relevant departments for the establishment of an aerospace company, how is it going?"

Clark: "The production license for aviation vehicles has been applied, and in terms of aerospace, only the production license for spare parts has been applied, and the overall production license for spacecraft has been stuck, saying that it is a proof that we can master rocket manufacturing technology." ”

This result was a bit unexpected by Jiao Bai, and with the country's degree of prudence, it was really not easy to approve one. However, if you think about it carefully, there is also a certain amount of truth, in China, only the national team produces aircraft, and most of them are concentrated in military models, and there is no one who can fight in terms of civil aircraft. The large aircraft C919 has been developed for ten years and is still flying test, and the finalized mass production is far away, and the regional airliner AJ21 has easily reached the mass production stage, and the production speed is like a turtle.

Now there is a private company to build a large aircraft, the country is too late to be happy, perhaps let the Xingchen Group into the field of civil aircraft production, can play a catfish effect, the vitality of several large state-owned aircraft manufacturing companies to activate it.

In the aerospace sector, this is a different situation, where several large state-owned aerospace companies are extremely profound, and several private aerospace companies have been approved in a row in the past few years, and the competition is sufficient. In addition, the entry threshold of the aerospace industry is very high, and it is impossible to play without technical strength, and the fault tolerance of launching spacecraft is very low.

"It's okay, it's better than I expected, since the aircraft manufacturing has been approved, you can register an aircraft manufacturing company as soon as you go back, and then communicate with the Wanghai Municipal Government to get a piece of land in the suburbs and build a factory and a test flight site. As for aerospace, let's let it go first, and in a few days, I will go to Mauria, Africa, to see if I can get a piece of land over there and build our space city. ”

Clark nodded in agreement, "Okay, boss, I'll do it when I get back." ”

This is the first time that Hua Xinyuan has heard that Xingchen Group still has a plan to develop the aerospace industry, and his heart is shocked. Whether it is the manufacture of large aircraft, or the manufacture of space launch vehicles, manned and cargo spacecraft, it is a technology-intensive project, which not only requires mastering many of the world's top new materials, new equipment, and machining technology, but also requires a large number of senior engineers. As an enterprise that has been established for less than a year, does Xingchen Group really have deep technical reserves and talent reserves?

"Mr. Jiao, can I ask, why do we want to go abroad to develop aerospace projects, didn't President Clark just say that we can pass the approval if we master the technology of manufacturing launch vehicles?"

Hearing this question, Jiao Bai and Clark glanced at each other, and they both laughed, Hua Xinyuan was inexplicably laughed by them, and he didn't know where he said something wrong. In the end, Jiao Bai explained the key to him: "Let's build the space city in Mauria, Africa, one is that the geographical dimension is low, just near the equator, and the space activities are the most convenient and the cost is the lowest; Another reason is that the spacecraft we are going to build is an aerospace plane, not a traditional launch vehicle.

If you want to engage in aerospace aircraft in China, it will be very troublesome to just apply for a project, and if you want to go to space after the manufacturing is completed, there will be a problem, whether the aerospace aircraft is under the jurisdiction of aviation, or under the jurisdiction of aerospace, whether the aerospace aircraft wants to be officially operated commercially, whether to get an airworthiness certificate, if you want to figure it out, you don't know how long it will take, and in the end, it is likely that we will do a good job of a few mothers-in-law, why bother. ”,,,
