Chapter 30: The Cost of $300 Million – The Iron Man

Obviously, in Qiu Lao's opinion, even in the nineties, when the Dragon Kingdom was the poorest, he had never seen such a shabby rocket thruster appear.

Although Jiangcheng is a personal company, this time the Dragon Kingdom has poured such a large amount of resources, which can be said to represent the cards of the Dragon Kingdom, but how can the cards of the Dragon Kingdom be so shabby?

Therefore, Qiu Lao could only quietly pull Jiang Cheng aside and whisper in his ear.

But for Jiang Cheng, this is simply a great wrong.

Because what is important about the propulsion system of a recyclable rocket?

The first is cost, and the second is performance.

As for the unnecessary appearance, of course, try to reduce the cost.

Because to launch satellites on a large scale, it is necessary to consider how much it costs to launch a launch, and if you want to maintain the appearance of the thrusters, then the maintenance cost will be a lot of expenses, and it is difficult to replicate!

And the creation of his current thruster means that not only can it be replicated, but the most important thing is what?

It's a low cost!

He didn't see the thruster of country M, and he didn't know how much it cost to build, anyway, his was 200 million, that is, it only took 200 million to copy a thruster, and the maintenance cost was low, in this world, even if it was a stupid country, it was very clear which thruster to choose.

So Jiang Cheng concluded that this time, although his thruster may not be the best-looking, the performance and cost performance are definitely the highest!

Even if country M wants to hold on to it and not buy it, they will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

It's very simple, even if NASA has money, they still have to fight for the budget with the government of country M, and when the budget is only so much, of course, the more money-saving and cost-effective things are, the more attractive they are.

It's just that before Jiang Cheng could say anything, the phone on Qiu Lao's side rang again.

"Hahaha~"

As soon as the phone rang, there was a burst of laughter from a middle-aged woman.

"Qiu Dongliang, this is the reusable launch rocket thruster that your Dragon Kingdom has researched? It's really impressive. ”

The one who spoke, of course, was Qiu Dongliang's senior sister, Hu Ke.

At this moment, Hu Ke is simply the same as Amy Guan, and now he calls Qiu Lao by his name, and there is no lack of sarcasm in his words.

"Senior sister, it's too early for you to laugh."

Although Qiu Lao knew that he could only be stubborn at this time, the thruster system of the Dragon Kingdom really looked like it was impossible to see, and now only the performance had not been tested.

What people have spent so much money to build, the performance will definitely not be bad.

So Qiu Lao also knew that he could only be hard-mouthed at this time, although he was a little reluctant, but he could only do this.

What I didn't expect was Hu Ke's more unbridled laughter: "Haha, laughing early?" Don't you really think that a bunch of broken copper and iron can surpass the ultra-luxurious design in terms of performance? Do you think that the propulsion system of the rocket is a car and can be modified casually? ”

"And even when it comes to modifications, your Jiangcheng definitely doesn't have as much say as our Amy, because our daughter is a mechanical engineer, and your Jiangcheng is just a high school graduate, you just wait and see it, this time, it is where you really see the gap between the two countries, and the gap you have worked hard to make up for over the years is waiting to be disgraced today!"

Hu Ke's words are very heavy, it can be said that they almost immediately poked into Qiu Lao's heart, what is the driving force that supports him in his heart after so many years of hard work?

Of course, it is because I want the world to see the change and strength of the Dragon Kingdom in the aerospace field, and let the world know that the Dragon Kingdom is the country with the most potential for development.

And the Dragon Kingdom thruster that appeared this time was really embarrassing, even he felt that Jiang Cheng had some nonsense.

After all, the thruster of country M is the Iron Man version, and the dragon country can have a dragon version, so that it will not lose more or less in terms of form, but Jiang Cheng actually made a broken copper and iron that is not even decent.

Yes, to put it bluntly, it's just a bunch of broken copper and iron, plus a thruster for the core operating system.

Even a novice who doesn't understand mechanical engineering at all can see it, let alone him, and saving money is not so economical.

But he is still extremely optimistic about this child Jiang Cheng in his heart.

There is no other reason, just because he said last time that there is an essential gap between astronauts in space and the astronauts of country M, so Qiu Lao choked again at this time: "Senior sister, I respect the strength of NASA, but please remember one sentence, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, before any conclusion appears, I hope you can keep a calm heart, how crazy you laugh now, how miserable you will cry after a while." ”

"Hah...... Ha ......"

Hu Ke not only became cold because of Qiu Lao's words, but laughed even more presumptuously, because she was laughing at Qiu Dongliang's stupidity, laughing at him that he originally had a good future, but for the so-called feelings of family and country, he gave up the high-tech job in country M and gave up the real future.

Now the aviation field of the Dragon Country still can't be compared with the M country, and in the end, it is such a ridiculous thing, how can this make her not laugh?

Not only does she want to laugh, but she also laughs wildly, without restraint!

And in the Eastern Spaceport of the Dragon Country, the so-called United Nations scientists also came up at this time.

Although he is too lazy to study the performance of this thruster, he still has to go through the motions, after all, since the Dragon Kingdom has decided to be embarrassed, then in his opinion, it is better to let the Dragon Kingdom lose people to the end......

On the other hand, on the side of country M, under the attention of the whole world, Amy Guan also learned about the thrusters on the side of the dragon country from the mouths of the people around her, which made her even more proud, and then planned to win a complete battle and make a beautiful turnaround.

"Let's start working on the thrusters now, I can't wait to get started......"

Although Amy Guan didn't say it explicitly on the surface, the whole world was looking forward to this scene, and many countries in the United Nations also wanted to see how powerful the Iron Man thruster of country M was at this time.

"First of all, my Iron Man prototype thruster, which costs $300 million, and in terms of performance, can reach the first in the world, and now, I hope that the most professional scientists in the aerospace field can appreciate my work......"

Amy Guan's offer also shocked the world again!

One thruster, the cost is in the $300 million!

Not to mention the maintenance costs, if you want to sell it, then at least 600 million!

Why?

Because if NASA wants to sell and make money, it is definitely impossible to make itself lose money, and it is even more important to sit on the ground and raise the price, with their urine, it must be more than twice as profitable!

The price of launching a satellite is estimated to be about 500 million RMB, that is to say, more than ten satellites must be launched to pay off!

If other countries want to buy it, it is too difficult to recoup the cost.

Despite this, there are still many countries that are ready to move, after all, with recyclable thrusters, even if it is a little more expensive, it can save production costs in the long run.

As for the thrusters on the Jiangcheng side, the cost is very low at first glance, but who cares?

A high school student, a guy who talks on paper, makes it out, and I don't know if the rocket can be successfully launched.

Soon, experts began to test Amy Guan's recyclable propulsion system, the Iron Man.
