Chapter 387: We don't change, but we keep changing
The space center of Arc Aerospace Exploration Company has been under construction at a high speed, and it has not been idle for a moment when Huajian Eighth Bureau received this order.
This can be said to be a big business order, and it can also be said to be a difficult political task.
They belong to a state-owned construction group, and they usually receive a lot of construction tasks, as well as confidential construction tasks, and they understand the meaning behind the establishment of the Arc Space Exploration Company.
Before there was no such a large-scale aerospace company in China, that is, some college students started a small fight, even if the valuation exceeded 100 million, it still could not change the basic nature.
The situation on the arc side is different, and it is not a simple matter for China to agree to the establishment of such a large private space company.
Let's not talk about whether Arc Light can do a good job of this aerospace company, just if China can agree, this is already a big step.
It seems that in the coming space age, the country alone is indeed a little powerless, and if you want to continue to move forward, then you must continue to try and change.
"Unchanged" or "unchanged to change" is not suitable for this era of rapid development, and it is already a bold attempt to let private capital join in.
It's just that I didn't expect this arc group to be the first to eat crabs.
So when Huajian Eighth Bureau received this order, it began to build wholeheartedly, after all, when it tried, it was all about success, and Huajian Eighth Bureau didn't want to let this attempt fail because of its own reasons.
Due to the absence of complex rocket launch platforms, rocket transfer platforms, rocket assembly buildings and other major buildings of the existing space base, coupled with 24-hour non-stop construction, it can be said that the construction is very fast.
Because the Arc Group is now too famous, the construction progress of its space center is concerned by the world, and it can be said that the news is constant every day.
Such a big construction project can't be stopped if you want to.
And the outside world is also analyzing everything that can be analyzed from the construction site that changes every day.
The first is that the construction speed of the "infrastructure madness" is too fast for Nima, and in just a few months, a space center is almost completed.
Looking at the progress, it is now October 2018, and it is estimated that it will be completed by November.
Then from the architectural composition of the Arc Space Center, it can be known that the Arc Group has really completely abandoned launch vehicles, and may be the same as they announced, specializing in aerospace aircraft or orbital shuttles or spaceships and other vehicles.
Avoiding the launch vehicles that Huaguo is now vigorously developing, it should be to avoid the duplication of capital costs.
In the eyes of the outside world, this must be the result of the influence of Huaguo, and now Huaguo's launch vehicles are developing rapidly, and there is no need for private capital to conduct secondary research.
And in the long run, launch vehicles are bound to be phased out.
Space planes or spaceships are different, they will be the workhorses for a long time to come.
According to the speculation of the outside world, it should be China to produce part of the aerospace aircraft technology, and then the Arc Group will pay for it, and the two sides will take what they need to develop together, and they should take the road of military-civilian integration.
Huaguo's development in the aerospace field is not fast, but after all, it started late and lacked experience.
And in the eyes of the outside world, Huaguo's investment in the aerospace field is too small.
Although Huaguo can always do the most with the least amount of money, there must be a delay in this time, after all, the allusion of "a good woman is difficult to cook without rice" is not unique to Huaguo, even if other countries do not have this sentence, there must be similar stories.
If you don't have the money, it's all in vain, you can only think about a lot of things, and some research progress will definitely be affected.
If the money is in place, or if there is enough money, then the progress of China's aerospace industry will definitely be able to go up several steps.
Now it seems that Huaguo is going to take this road.
If the state focuses on launch vehicles, resources may also be tilted, so the research and development progress of various new launch vehicles can certainly be accelerated, and it should be no problem to cope with the initial construction and exploration of the space age.
Then the aerospace aircraft project being studied may be transferred to Arc Space here, using the financial resources and talents of the Arc Group, combined with their own technology and talents to research aerospace aircraft or spacecraft.
Judging from the astonishing budget and investment disclosed by Arc Group, this possibility is very large.
However, some people also have other opinions, that is, this kind of aerospace industry obviously does not want to return to its original cost in the short term, and the early investment of arc light is so large, it is obviously the rhythm of bankruptcy.
In particular, the aerospace aircraft projects of various space powers are being studied, but it is basically impossible to see when it will be officially used, which is simply a bottomless pit.
The Arc Group is simply sick to invest in this kind of industry, and it will take out so much money at once, waiting for bankruptcy.
Some people also say that the Arc Group must have been kidnapped by the state and forced to give out the money, otherwise the Arc Group is sick and has developed well, how could it be possible to invest in such an unfamiliar industry so suddenly.
Although the aerospace industry of various countries is developing rapidly, they are rushing towards the moon and Mars, and various plans are thrown out one after another.
The United States plans to "return to the moon" and "colonize Mars" in the short term.
It's all going well, it seems that the era of space is coming, but that's where it goes.
The changes in a few decades will still not be very large, it will still be a national game, and private space groups will still live on state orders and subsidies.
In any case, the Arc Group has never been on the news, and all aspects are noisy, and they work harder than the Arc Group itself, which has to save how much advertising costs.
In fact...... Well, if you're happy.
Guess as much as you want.
In the midst of the disturbances from the outside world, the space center is getting closer and closer to the day of completion.
And Gao Ze's friends they found also came.
Even Fang Dingbo, who had planted trees in the Taklamakan Desert, rushed back to greet his friends.
Of course, the main one is an international friend.
The friends they invited came one after another, and it was impossible to come together, and there was nothing for them today, and there were no friends of theirs, but they were all together.
Just waiting to see this scene.
Everyone has a heart for gossip, not to mention a group of shameless good friends.
This Bo brother looks so calm and honest usually, but he didn't expect to have a good friend of the United States, or a female friend.
They have seen photos of this Catherine before, not to mention how stunning they are, but they are also quite in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
Although Fang Dingbo didn't admit that it was his girlfriend or anything, they could see that this was the future sister-in-law.
Wait, something strange has come in, let's call it Sister-in-law.
It must be Sister-in-law Fang.
The airport is a public place, and they can be regarded as public figures, especially Dong Chen, who knows more about him.
So this time they all dressed up a little, especially Dong Chen, who brought a hat to cover his iconic bald head, and immediately reduced his return rate a lot.
Another pair of sunglasses, and you're all set to live.
They immediately met Catherine at the exit of the airport, almost as in the photos.
Well, she looks like a sincere girl.
Seeing Catherine come out, Fang Dingbo hurried to pick up the luggage in her hand, but Catherine directly gave him a warm hug.
Seeing this scene, Dong Chen and the others wanted to raise their eyebrows at Dingbo, but they all wore black sunglasses, so they could only give up.
They said neatly to Catherine, "Hello sister-in-law! ”
It's like a bunch of people on the road.
Fang Dingbo was stunned, but Catherine didn't feel anything, obviously Fang Dingbo told her a lot of information.
She said generously, "Hello, nice to meet you." ”
