I failed 8 times in a row, and I was ready to continue to fail for the 9th time, but I didn't expect the 9th time to be so perfect, and I completed the launch, steering, and recovery in one go, and successfully recovered the launched rocket to the predetermined location.

Recyclable rockets are so important for human exploration that only Spacex Technologies in the United States has mastered the technology on Earth.

As we all know, the cost of a rocket, fuel only accounts for a small part, the rocket's navigation control system, fuel storage tank, engine, and the rocket itself materials are the absolute majority, if a rocket can be recycled and reused, it can greatly reduce the launch cost.

SpaceX CEO Allen? Musk has said that making reusable rockets is the future of human spaceflight. For example, the Falcon 9 rocket, which was used in the first successful launch of the recovery rocket, cost $50 million at the time, of which fuel was only $200,000.

Calculated in 2022, it almost means that the cost of a rocket is about 100 million US dollars, of which the cost of fuel is only about 500,000 US dollars.

Qingquan Technology's "Fatty" series of rockets, even if the multi-stage design is reduced and the integrated design is integrated, but because of the new materials used, anti-gravity engines, quantum communication instruments, etc., its cost is more than 200 million yuan, which is only the fact that Qingquan Technology does not calculate those super-era technologies.

Like the anti-gravity engine and the quantum communication instrument, the three pieces of new materials can be sold for a large price at any time, and this valuation is very difficult, so you can only simply calculate its manufacturing cost.

Qingquan Technology is now wealthy, but it has failed 8 times in a row, each time it is a loss of hundreds of millions, and how many times this experiment will be carried out, no one has the bottom in their hearts, scientific research is like this, the bottomless pit of investment, but the results are always difficult to see.

This is the reason why private enterprises, central enterprises, and state-owned enterprises are reluctant to invest heavily in scientific research, because the input-output ratio is really difficult to predict, and you don't know whether a large amount of capital investment can produce corresponding value and returns.

And from the perspective of business management, such investment is also very unwise, it is better to take that large amount of money to invest in real estate, finance, short-term profits, so why work hard to do scientific research?

It is completely possible to wait until others get the technology out, and then we can reverse it according to the product and add something new, and the whole thing is another innovation, with less investment and big gain.

This is also the current situation of the whole country or most countries, and they are reluctant to invest in scientific research, everyone is waiting for others to develop new science and technology, and then swarm up to reverse the technology of others.

The reverse thrust technique is much simpler, just like it is very difficult to write and publish a book, but it is much easier when you read a book, and you can constantly pick out a lot of faults from other people's books.

Of course, for the country, many strategic technologies will not appear in the world at all, and you will not be able to reverse the corresponding technology, so you need to do research step by step and honestly, and continue to invest huge amounts of money, resources, manpower, etc. to develop.

For example, nuclear weapons such a big killer, no one will sell you even if you spend more money, the Saudis are very rich, but even in the 70s of the last century, when the country was the poorest, when the country needed foreign exchange the most, the Saudis offered tens of billions of dollars to buy nuclear weapons, and the country did not waver in the slightest.

In the end, the Saudis spent billions of dollars to buy dozens of conventional strategic missiles, which has already made the Saudis happy, although the warheads of this missile are conventional weapons, but these missiles can hit very far, they are all medium-range missiles, and they are all medium-range missiles, and they are thousands of kilometers away, and the scared Israelis dare not do anything to Saudi Arabia.

(This story is what really happened, and those missiles are still Saudi artifacts)

Of course, this kind of investment can only be afforded by the state at this level, and only the country will be willing to invest such a huge amount of money, and the consistent principle of the world's major powers in terms of national security is to ignore the cost.

High investment also means that once the results are high returns, in the 70s of the last century, the dollar of that era is really valuable, unlike now, a missile can be sold for 100 million US dollars, and its manufacturing cost at that time was only a few million yuan, even so Saudi tyrants are like picking up a great bargain, this kind of town artifact, money can't buy ah, the Saudis are also begging grandpa to tell grandma to buy dozens of pieces from China in difficulty, walking dog ~ shi luck!

Now the people of Qingquan Technology have not only made a rocket, but also a recyclable rocket, which is of great significance, which is not only the significance of reducing costs.

It is of great significance to the whole country, and the increasingly fierce competition in space can greatly reduce costs, and the advantages of this competition will slowly appear.

Others launch a space satellite, spacecraft or something is at least hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is just a simple calculation of the cost of the rocket, if you add the investment of labor, spacecraft, satellites, etc., every launch is a huge investment.

And globally, the success rate of this launch is not as high as imagined, and there are often afterimages of people and dead objects that are destroyed due to launch failures.

Now you have a recyclable rocket, every time you send something too fast, at least in terms of investment in the rocket, each time it just consumes some fuel, and the cost is greatly reduced, and the competitive advantage is very obvious.

The success of the salvage rocket is a milestone scientific achievement!

This is an extremely important result, especially for a country like China!

At present, the international community is engaged in international cooperation in the development and utilization of space, and the United States and Russia often cooperate to help each other launch and launch things into space, jointly develop and use the International Space Station, and exchange important achievements with each other.

And even those countries that are not technologically developed, such as kimchi countries, Japan, some countries in Europe, etc., as long as they pay a fee, they can be taken to space by the United States and Russia, and several European powers even simply form a team to play in space.

All the powerful countries seem to be playing very high together, except that they did not bring China, just like the technological blockade, they all seem to have reached a space blockade agreement, China is excluded in this regard, we don't play with you!

The importance of space exploration, space technology, and space scientific research is self-evident, and the future of mankind should not be limited to the small planet, but the future of mankind should be a sea of stars, where there are countless resources waiting for human beings to develop!

From the beginning of the last century to the present, with the unremitting efforts of generations of astronauts in the country, even if we rely on ourselves and no one cooperates, our space technology can rank among the top three in the world.

However, it is difficult to make a forest alone, relying on its own strength, although such brilliant achievements have been made, but the corresponding investment also makes the country feel heavy, and many times the country has to save money from all aspects to meet the needs of the aerospace industry, especially in the special era of the last century.

No way, no one wants to cooperate with you, everything can only rely on yourself, although it is very difficult at the beginning, everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get through this difficult period, all the technologies developed in the future are independent, all the results are slowly eaten by yourself, and all the technologies are mastered by yourself, without being limited by others.

Qingquan Technology's recyclable rocket, for the time being, it is considered a success, for a country that has always insisted on independence and relied on its own strength to develop the space industry, the significance is too great!

This means that in the future, the country can greatly reduce its investment in space exploration, and can invest valuable resources in more important places to develop more and deeper technologies.

However, at this time, the people of Qingquan Technology obviously did not know the importance of this technology, and they were still cheering and hugging to celebrate the successful return of their fat man.

Liu Qingquan looked at the cheering crowd with a smile, not to mention that everyone is young, even those elderly scientific researchers will cheer and be happy like children if they encounter such a major achievement.

What's more, the people of Qingquan Technology are all young people in their early twenties who have just left school, how can they not cheer and celebrate when they encounter such a major achievement.

This way of celebrating, maybe everyone likes it, but Liu Qingquan is strongly opposed, because Liu Qingquan, who was still smiling just now, was suddenly hugged by his subordinates, his limbs were lifted, and he was carried to the cement open space outside, and he was constantly thrown up and down.

You must know that these people have all cultivated the Universe Yuan Force Method, although they are all specially developed methods for scientific researchers, but the development effect on the body is also very obvious, and they all have great strength.

Liu Qingquan's hundred catties were five or six meters high when he was lightly thrown by everyone, and then he was excited and forced, and the whole person was thrown to a height of more than ten meters, and Liu Qingquan, who was frightened, hurriedly shouted to stop.

Although he has also cultivated the method of comprehensive Yuan Li, even if he falls from more than ten meters, he will be unscathed, but because of people's fear of heights this year, Liu Qingquan is still a little uncomfortable, and quickly stopped everyone from continuing to throw "hydrangeas" in the way of celebration.

Liu Qingquan, who had just fallen, didn't have time to come back to his senses, and before the secretary Deng Yujie found him, handed over the phone and whispered: "Defense Minister Fang Aiguo's call!" ”
