The future business originally established by the aerospace industry company was drawn up by Wang Hao himself, and he did not just say the content of 'flickering'.

He wouldn't do that.

Those were the original ideas.

Their first goal was to build a large spacecraft, and thus established the light-pressure engine project, which was designed to provide self-sufficient energy support for large spacecraft.

Now that the light-pressure engine has completed its first take-off and landing tests, it is time to demonstrate the creation of a large spacecraft.

Only by building a large spaceship can we hope that the 'future business' that we have established in the first place can be realized, otherwise we will have to continue to invest in it.

They are not space agencies, but a legitimate company that has been set up with its own financing.

Regular companies invest heavily in order to be profitable.

It can't be said that the large spacecraft they built out of their own pockets can only be used for exploration in the aerospace field or military deterrence in space, right?

The former is the work of the space agency; The latter is a matter for the military.

Whether it is the space agency or the military, if they want to support the manufacture of the same large spacecraft, they must have technology for technology and talent for talent.

At present, the research is funded by several large companies out of their own pockets, and the ultimate goal is to make a profit.

If it is only purely invested in R&D, it is not a formal company, but a state-supported R&D institution.

Of course, he can take out 10 billion yuan to support the development of national science and technology, but in fact, the research of light-pressure engines and spacecraft does not need him to fund at all.

In short, Wang Hao hopes that the spacecraft industry company can achieve normal profits.

Now the first step has been taken, the light pressure engine has completed the take-off and landing test, just like the outside world said, after being able to take off and land normally, the next step is to fly at high altitude, and then you can go into space.

There are no technical difficulties that cannot be overcome in the follow-up.

In this case, it is natural to start the spacecraft design project at the same time.

With the support of energy and power technology, there is no absolute difficulty in the design and manufacture of spacecraft, in fact, the spacecraft can be regarded as a super-large space station excluding the light-pressure engine, but the space station can rely on the light-pressure engine to achieve its own self-sufficiency, and support extremely energy-intensive high-speed flight in space, as well as autonomous take-off and landing on the planet.

Most of the technology in the design of spacecraft can be solved in cooperation with the space agency.

High-speed flights involving space, take-off and landing problems on other planets, etc., can be solved with new materials.

In short, there are no insurmountable obstacles to spacecraft design.

After Wang Hao and Zang Chunlai discussed it, they had already made a decision in their hearts.

He explained the follow-up work, including some personnel work, and then sent an application to the space agency, hoping to lead the team to visit the space agency.

The purpose of this time is to talk about the space agency and talk about spacecraft-related technical cooperation.

……

Wang Hao's application was sent directly to Chen Jiahe, the space agency's de facto second-in-command.

After Chen Jiahe saw the application, he immediately went to Mr. Zhu's office, "Academician Wang said that he was coming, and he came with the team of the spacecraft company. ”

"What is he doing here?" Teacher Zhu asked in surprise.

"I said I was here to visit." Chen Jiahe said, "But I think there must be other purposes." If you don't have anything to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace, Academician Wang may need some kind of technology. ”

Mr. Zhu thought about it carefully and guessed, "It may be related to the light-pressure engine." The engine will definitely go into space in the future, and to go into space, to ensure that the engine will not be damaged, we need our technology. ”

Chen Jiahe nodded in agreement.

Teacher Zhu continued, "In this way, let's set a time with Academician Wang first, and when it comes to that day, I will also come over early." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

When he heard the news of Wang Hao's arrival, Mr. Zhu was also in a bad mood, he could always think of the light-pressure engine, and after watching the take-off and landing test, the shocking scene had been lingering in his heart.

This made him extremely disappointed with the work of the space agency.

Recently, the space agency has also made a lot of breakthroughs in the work of new spacecraft, but he is not happy at all.

This is mainly because the gap is too large.

Think about it......

Others have already scored 200 points, but as a result, they have only improved from 50 points to 51 points, and the gap with the other party is so big that there is no hope of catching up at all.

When compared, I couldn't be happier.

In any case, Wang Hao's visit to the space bureau is a big event, and it must be dealt with very seriously.

Chen Jiahe went to arrange the reception work.

……

Wang Haolai was very fast.

Half a month later, he took the team to the space agency, with a total of more than a dozen people, including Paul Phil-Jones, Zang Chunlai, Zhou Qigui, Pang Xue, Wang Zhongmin, Ding Junlei and others.

Each of them is a key member of Spaceship Industries, as well as the project department.

The situation is different now than it was two weeks ago, and everyone on the team is directly affiliated with Spaceship Industries, in other words, they have officially joined the company and are no longer the same people as the original company or organization.

For example, Wang Zhongmin, the military scientific research department directly released him.

Wang Zhongmin went through the retirement procedures, and finally quickly joined the spacecraft company, he was still a little sad, after all, he has been in the military's scientific research institutions all his life, but when he thinks that it is all for scientific research, it is nothing.

Wang Zhongmin is the backbone of the project research and development, and he takes my basic salary of 1.8 million flower coins.

The R&D department of the project team, as well as more than a dozen top experts, have received salaries of more than one million, among which Cao Dongming, the head of the materials group, has the highest salary, with an annual salary of 2.2 million coins.

Cao Dongming also left the Institute of Aeronautical Materials and officially joined the Spacecraft Industry Company.

For top scientific staff, the lure of high salaries is nothing, and in reality, their salaries are not necessarily much improved.

For example, Cao Dongming, his salary in the Institute of Aeronautical Materials is also more than 400,000, the Aviation Group directly under the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, there are large year-end bonuses every year, as well as various invisible benefits, Cao Dongming is an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and there are many projects on hand, which can also provide a lot of benefits to individuals.

The annual salary of 2.2 million is not directly attractive to him personally.

The most tempting thing is to be able to participate in the most advanced aerospace technology research and development projects, and they all want to contribute their own power to the construction of large spacecraft.

The entrance to the space agency headquarters building.

Teacher Zhu and Chen Jiahe stood at the front of the crowd, and after waiting for a long time, they finally waited for Wang Hao.

Wang Hao and his entourage came by military vehicle, and after a few cars stopped, he walked out directly, and then shook hands with Teacher Zhu, Chen Jiahe and others.

Mr. Zhu's position is very high, and he already belongs to the figure close to the decision-making level, and he sits at the front with Wang Hao.

Chen Jiahe was half a position behind.

Wang Hao felt a little awkward when he walked, he simply deliberately walked a little slower and talked to Chen Jiahe about the problem of aerospace technology.

Chen Jiahe also took the initiative to talk to Wang Hao about aerospace technology, but he turned the topic to the light-pressure engine, admired the performance of the light-pressure engine, and after praising it for many sentences, he talked about the follow-up test of the light-pressure engine.

This is what I want to know about the purpose of Wang Hao's team coming to the space agency.

Wang Hao didn't like to play dumb riddles with others, so he simply said directly, "We came this time in the hope of cooperating with the Space Agency." ”

"Working together?"

Teacher Zhu suddenly turned his head when he heard this, and asked, "How to cooperate?" Let's be specific. ”

Wang Hao said, "As you all know, our light-pressure engine has completed the preliminary test, and there are no insurmountable technical problems in the future, and it is only a matter of time before it goes into space." ”

"So we're going to start designing big spaceships, or helicarriers."

He added, "Paul loved the name." ”

"But we don't have space experience, and the space agency built the space station and completed the Chang'e program to achieve the moon landing, and you have perfect technology and experience."

"So we need to work with you on the design of the spacecraft."

Chen Jiahe pondered carefully and asked, "Mr. Wang, although it is not good to say this, I think it is necessary to ask." ”

"You just said that we need our technology and experience, and we can really provide technology, we can provide a lot of talent support, but the problem is, we don't have any benefits?"

Wang Hao nodded and said, "The matter of cooperation, of course, is beneficial to both parties, the space bureau is one of the shareholders of the spacecraft company, and the equity proportion should be five points, right?" ”

Teacher Zhu nodded, "It's five points, can you still increase the equity?" ”

"I don't have that right."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "I mean that the space agency has a direct relationship with the spacecraft company, and what we can take out is the ownership of the spacecraft." ”

"Ship ownership?"

Teacher Zhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Tell me more about it." ”

Wang Hao said, "Actually, it's nothing. The spacecraft we build is directly owned by the company. However, it is also possible to allocate a portion of the ownership rights to other institutions. ”

"For example, the space agency."

"You also need the ownership of the spaceship, and with a certain percentage of ownership, you can send personnel to participate in the operation of the spaceship."

"There are many benefits of this kind of equity, for example, in the future, a certain percentage of the profits realized by the space carrier will also belong to the space agency......"

Wang Hao briefly explained.

Mr. Zhu is obviously not interested in any follow-up profits, what he cares about is fame.

If there is a certain ownership of the space carrier, it can be declared to the outside world that the space carrier was built with the support of the space agency.

The name is too important.

Mr. Zhu is about to retire, and what he hopes most is to be famous.

Wang Hao's ownership issue made Mr. Zhu very excited, and the country does support the spacecraft company, and the space bureau will definitely cooperate in terms of technology, and the formal cooperation between the two sides will be beneficial and harmless.

Of course, how much support the space agency will give, and the specific division of ownership of the space carrier will be discussed in detail.

These are the responsibilities of the negotiators.

Wang Hao doesn't care about this, what he attaches the most importance to is the decision-making power of the aerospace carrier, including R&D, manufacturing, operation and other decisions.

Without affecting the decision-making power, it does not matter if the space agency is assigned some ownership, after all, their research does need the technical support of the space agency.

In addition, the aerospace carrier cannot be fully owned by the company, because it does have a large military deterrent use, and it is impossible to operate completely independently.

For example, the light-pressure engine project, from design to manufacturing, has a lot of researchers and engineers involved.

These personnel are all from large institutions and the military, and without the support of large institutions and the military, it is simply impossible for the light-pressure engine project to enter the manufacturing stage.

The spacecraft company only invests in one party, and other institutions provide talents, technology, and materials, many of which are confidential in nature.

They also deserve some ownership.

This is especially true of the space agency, the main core of subsequent design and development is the space agency, and it is natural that they have a certain degree of ownership.

……

Ameriken.

It has been two months since the equipment of the strong annihilation force field was transported to the experimental base in Geneva, Switzerland, and American has also obtained a lot of information.

After the information was compiled, the contents were handed over to the Lake Groom Project Team.

The work of the project team is to build the equipment based on the information obtained, and then to study the new internal principles and learn more through experiments.

This work made Cooper very frustrated, but he couldn't say anything at all, because the technology did go further than they had developed.

The attitude of the officials of the Ministry of Energy towards the project team is different, they used to speak in a good voice, but now they have become tasks.

"You're going to use this data to do research and make the equipment as quickly as possible."

"It must be done quickly, and other studies will be carried out in the future."

The attitude of the officials was very tough, and the meaning was obvious.

Cooper understood.

If they can't get the job done in a short period of time, he, the project team leader, will be fired.

Although Cooper felt depressed, the rest of the project team was looking forward to it, after all, it was a regional strong annihilation force field technology, and a series of experimental studies could be carried out after the device was manufactured.

Of course, the main work of the project team is to manufacture the equipment and study its inner workings.

There must be a lot of theoretical experts in this process.

When there is a change in the direction of research, there will also be a big change in personnel.

Cooper felt like he couldn't stay much longer, "Maybe next week, I'll be out of here." ”

"Next month, perhaps?"

He shook his head sullenly.

Krot James didn't care, "I knew there would be this day. Of course, it doesn't matter, I won't be fired anyway. ”

Cooper let out a long sigh, "I hope the work goes well, too." Krot, do you think you can basically catch up with the flower grower with this? ”

"I mean really catching up, for example, we're also working on annihilation particle technology and we're developing light-pressure engines. Do you feel hopeful? ”

"Generally, yes."

James nodded, "Look at the flower planter, it has developed to the point where it is now, and it has surpassed us in many fields. ”

"In the last century, they didn't have much technology, a lot of areas were started from scratch, and they have been imitating and improving......"

"Later, many fields caught up with the international level, and even surpassed it."

Cooper listened and nodded, "So there's hope for us?" ”

"There is no hope at all!" James said with certainty.

Cooper didn't expect the conclusion to turn so quickly, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

"In the past few decades, the reason why flower growers have been able to catch up in many fields is because there has been no breakthrough in these fields for a long time, or there is an upper limit to technological development. ”

"For example, in the high-end chip industry, no matter how much the technology is improved, the accuracy cannot be lower than one nanometer."

"For example, materials, a lot of materials research has stagnated, the application has been very sufficient, it has become easy to study alternative materials, and it has become difficult to develop."

"To sum up, there is a limit to technological development, and it is naturally possible to catch up."

Cooper asked, "And then?" ”

"Open the media website, watch the latest reports, and you'll understand." ”

Cooper opened the media website with doubts, and saw the first of the most important reports -

Spaceship Industries announced that they have launched a research project on the design of the space carrier!

"Helicarriers? Devise? Cooper's mouth opened in surprise.

"So I said, there's no hope at all." In the catch-up of technology, what I am afraid of is not the high-end technology of the opponent, but the high technology of the opponent, and the outrageous speed of progress. ”

"They're progressing much faster than we're catching up."

"It's like a tortoise and a hare race, the hare not only runs out first, but also runs and runs without sleeping and resting halfway...... Turtle, how to catch up? ”

"Admit defeat, it's good!"
