Chapter 249: The hope for the future lies in Galaxy Technology
“嗯,很好,看样子到了2000年之后,我们很快就能用到我们自己国家的定位导航系统!!!” Zhao Ye smiled and nodded, quite satisfied.
"Yes!" Chu Peng said with a smile.
"How much does it cost to launch a satellite?" Zhao Ye asked.
"The Beidou navigation system consists of a hybrid navigation constellation consisting of 5 GEO satellites, 3 IGSO satellites, 27 MEO satellites, and three orbital satellites. The cost of different satellites is different, ranging from 250 million yuan to 700 million yuan, plus the cost of rocket launch, on average, the cost of launching a satellite is about 500 million yuan! Chu Peng introduced.
"It's still a bit expensive...... By the way, how is the research and development of rocket launch recovery technology? The cost of rocket launch is very high, and if it can be recycled and reused, it can save a lot of rocket launch costs! Zhao Ye asked.
楚鹏摇摇头,道:“目前,火箭发射回收技术还不够成熟,我们也不敢做实验,一旦搞砸了,损失数亿人民币。 ”
Zhao Ye frowned and said: "As the saying goes, 'failure is the mother of success', after everything is ready, boldly go to the rocket test, don't blow up a few times, how to collect data, summarize experience and lessons!" ”
In the previous life, SpaceX's rockets often exploded, and when they exploded, the technology improved.
Chu Peng smiled bitterly and nodded, although what Zhao Ye said was very reasonable, but the preparations that should be made and the places that should be careful must be done in place, and it must be ensured that the rocket test will not go wrong, otherwise, the loss will be great.
"By the way, Mr. Chu, how is Motorola's Iridium plan going?" Zhao Ye asked, what he remembered was that because the rocket launch cost of Galaxy Technology Company was relatively low, Motorola Company chose Galaxy Technology Company to cooperate.
The Iridium program is a global mobile satellite communications system consisting of 66 satellites, which took 12 years and cost more than $5 billion to build.
The Iridium program has invested far more than the Beidou navigation system.
"From the information we have gathered, Motorola plans to start test launches in 1996 and plan to put it into operation in 1998!" Chu Peng replied.
"No, the Iridium program will launch 66 satellites, which means that Motorola will launch more than 20 satellites a year on average......" Zhao Ye knew about the Iridium program in his previous life, but he didn't notice that Motorola only started test launches in 1996.
Zhao Ye thought that the Beidou navigation system invested by Galaxy Technology Company was already a big step, but compared with Motorola's Iridium program, it was a small thing.
Zhao Ye couldn't help but wonder if the launch plan of the Beidou navigation system was too conservative.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Ye still felt that it was going step by step.
……
After lunch at noon, Chu Peng took Zhao Ye to inspect the work of various departments of Galaxy Technology Company.
Zhao Ye deliberately went to the aero engine and passenger aircraft R&D department to understand the development progress.
However, it is a pity that although the research and development progress is very fast, it will take some time to build a large passenger aircraft, but it is also fast, and Galaxy Technology has spent more than five years in order to develop a large passenger aircraft codenamed "Kunpeng".
The Soviet Union's aerospace technology even surpassed that of the United States in many aspects, and the Galaxy Technology Company inherited the Soviet Union's aerospace technology, digested and innovated, in order to develop a large passenger aircraft that could surpass Boeing and Airbus.
In fact, if Galaxy Technology Co., Ltd. were to directly produce large civil airliners, it would have been able to do it from the beginning.
Zhao Ye had already secretly bought the drawings of many large civil airliners in the Soviet Union, including the Yak-40 civil airliner, the Yak-42 civil airliner, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 civil airliner, the Tu-124 civil airliner, the Tu-204 civil airliner, the Il-96-300 civil airliner and so on.
Of course, if Galaxy Technology does this, Russia may have to find trouble with Galaxy Technology.
Therefore, Zhao Ye still insisted on absorbing and digesting these technologies and drawings, and then innovated on his own to develop more advanced civil airliners.
Moreover, these large airliners are now somewhat outdated, and they are not as competitive as Boeing and Airbus.
……
银河科技公司每年的研发投入不下于125亿美元! In 1994, NASA's NASA funding was $14.55 billion, and even NASA's investment was not much more than that of Galaxy Technology, you know, the United States' various expenditures are higher than China's, and the actual use value of $14.55 billion is not as good as China's $12.5 billion.
After years of research, Yinhe Technology Co., Ltd. has given birth to a lot of cutting-edge basic technologies, involving mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, medicine, electronic technology, optoelectronic technology, automatic control, jet propulsion, computer, vacuum technology, cryogenic technology, semiconductor technology, manufacturing technology and many other fields, which has greatly promoted the progress of domestic science and technology.
Today, the number of researchers in Galaxy Technology has exceeded 71,000, which is the world's largest number of high-end talents!
NASA has just over 20,000 employees in the United States. Of course, there are many companies in the United States that serve NASA, including Boeing, Raytheon and other companies.
Galaxy Technology is a combination of them, so the scale is naturally relatively large. Moreover, Galaxy Technology, as a private company, is also profitable.
Galaxy Technology can make a lot of money by selling satellites and rockets. In addition, many aerospace technologies can be converted to civilian use, including wireless communication systems, power systems, control systems, remote control systems, chips, software, etc., up to now, more than 750 technologies have been transferred to civilian use, creating great value.
After a day of inspection, Zhao Ye can be regarded as having a deeper understanding of Galaxy Technology Company.
Zhao Ye believes that China's hopes must be pinned on Galaxy Technology!!
Look up at the starry sky, go out of the earth, and fight for space supremacy for the descendants of Yan and Huang, Galaxy Technology Company, who else can I be!
……
"Dong Zhao, is the development of Galaxy Technology Company still satisfactory?!" Chu Peng walked to the table in front of Zhao Ye and sat down with the food prepared in the cafeteria, and then asked with a smile.
Zhao Ye nodded and smiled: "Well, it's very good, but we have to keep up the good work!" ”
Chu Peng nodded, and then suggested: "Dong Zhao, Galaxy Technology's R&D investment is too large, and it is not a good thing to always rely on blood transfusion from Wujiang Group. In my opinion, Galaxy Technology should be self-reliant and turn the research results into economic benefits! One step at a time, you don't have to seek perfection! ”
"Well, what you say makes sense, please keep talking!" Zhao Ye took a bite of food, nodded at Chu Peng, and motioned to continue.
Chu Peng said: "There are many types of aero engines, and Galaxy Technology Company is researching them. The engine mechanics of modern airliners and helicopters are almost the same, helicopters are turboshaft engines, and airliners are turbofan engines.
Galaxy Technology has developed a relatively advanced aviation turboshaft engine, which can be widely used in medium and large helicopters. ”
"In other words, Galaxy Technology can use its own aviation turboshaft engine to develop helicopters!"
"Helicopters belong to both military and civilian use, and many of them have private helicopters, even private jets!"
"I think that in the next ten years, the market size of the helicopter industry will continue to grow rapidly."
"If you can undertake orders from the military, you will be able to make a lot of money!"
After Chu Peng finished speaking, Zhao Ye's eyes couldn't help but light up.
The development of helicopters may be an opportunity to enter the military industry.
In addition, I took a helicopter to work, which seemed to be more forced.
Zhao Ye immediately expressed his support for this plan.
"Okay, then let Galaxy Technology develop a helicopter!!"
"Okay, Dong Zhao. By the way, Zhao Dong, I think that we can also enter the small passenger aircraft, and we have actually completed the accumulation of technology in this area, and we can create a twin-engine turboprop short-range regional airliner. China's land is vast, the population is large, the economic scale is huge, the domestic small passenger aircraft market, or the regional passenger aircraft market, its potential is actually very huge! ”
小型客机的技术含量自然是比大型客机的技术含量低一些。
Galaxy Technology Company has been rushing to large passenger aircraft, but the research and development time is long, it is difficult to produce results, but it is a small passenger aircraft, but the technology accumulation is enough.
Galaxy Technology Company has been losing money year after year, and Chu Peng, as the CEO of Galaxy Technology Company, has been thinking of ways to reverse profits and losses.
Zhao Ye may not be able to see the helicopter market, which has a small output value, but Chu Peng feels that no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
And the potential of regional airliners is no less than that of large airliners.
If Galaxy Technology can gain a foothold in the regional airliner market, it can greatly reduce the company's financial deficit.
When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel his negligence, only paying attention to large passenger aircraft, but ignoring the value of regional airliners.
However, Zhao Ye knew that his mistakes could be corrected, and immediately said: "Mr. Chu, your suggestion is very good, just do what you say, and develop the regional airliner as soon as possible!" ”
"Okay, Dong Zhao!"
"By the way, Mr. Chu, if you have any good suggestions, you can mention them to me in time, and I will definitely support you!" Zhao Ye felt that he was not a god, and he would also have a hundred secrets.
Managing a company and making decisions depends on a lot of research and brainstorming.
"Okay, I got it." Chu Peng smiled and nodded.
Zhao Ye took a sip of food and asked casually: "Mr. Chu, do you estimate that it will take for helicopters and regional airliners to be successfully developed?" ”
Chu Peng thought for a moment and replied, "The fastest is four months, and the slowest is about a year." ”
"Good! Time is still quite fast! Zhao Ye praised.
Chu Peng smiled bitterly, can you not be happy, Galaxy Technology Company has been developing passenger aircraft since 1990, and it has been 1995 now. Galaxy Technology inherited the aerospace technology of the Soviet Union, which is not comparable to ordinary companies. At present, there is no company or institution in China that can produce civil aircraft.
Galaxy Technology Company is unique in China.
However, Galaxy Technology Company has burned more than $2 billion in the passenger plane project alone, and he is embarrassed to sit in the CEO position without any results.
In Wujiang Group, I am afraid that only Galaxy Technology Company is the most loser, and every time he participates in the group's annual meeting, Chu Peng feels embarrassed. Seeing that all the brother companies have started to make money, Chu Peng is not in a hurry!
Even Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd. secretly rose, and it was originally said that it was good to be an errand boy together, after all, both companies have a serious deficit because of their large R&D investment and serious deficits, and they are difficult to say because of the tail of the crane within the entire group. However, Tiangong Technology Company is now awesome, not only low-end CNC machine tools sell well all over the world, but also in the past year, the famous horse series motorcycles, war horse series motorcycles and "Hongguang S1" vans have been sold on sale, making a lot of money, which can make Chu Peng envious to death.
Fortunately, Chu Peng also knew in his heart that only by enduring loneliness could he keep prosperity.
In the future, major breakthroughs in aerospace technology will come, and the glory of Galaxy Technology will come.
……
It's been a busy few days.
Zhao Ye rarely stole half a day of leisure, so he accompanied Li Aojun to go shopping, watch movies.
Holding hands, snorting, going to bed, all done.
The content is not good-looking, so I won't describe it.
The families on both sides are urging the marriage to be tight, and Zhao Ye plans to get married before the end of this year.
Li Aojun, tall and graceful, heroic but charming, a pair of long legs against the sky, plump, white and elastic, the most makes Zhao Ye linger, endless aftertaste.
Probably "Leg Playing Year" is talking about this kind of leg, it's really ecstatic!
On February 24, 1995, it rained heavily.
Shanghai Mahler Villa, on the balcony on the second floor, Zhao Ye leaned back on the reclining chair, listening to the rain and watching the scenery, full of leisure.
Under the heavy rain, the sky seemed to be washed away with lead, and it was blue.
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
Jingle bell~
Li Aojun picked up his mobile phone from the bedside at this time, then walked to Zhao Ye and took a blanket over.
"Tang Letong called, it should be about the second round of financing of Wujiang Portal." Li Aojun handed the phone to Zhao Ye, and then draped the blanket over his body, "The weather is a little cold, put on the blanket, don't catch a cold." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Ye bowed slightly, indicating that he understood. Then I took the phone and pressed the connect button. Some time ago, Tang Letong reported to him that the money in the first round of financing of the Wujiang portal was almost exhausted, and the website would soon face a shortage of funds.
"Hey, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Letong responded: "It's me, Dong Zhao, I want to discuss with you about the second round of financing of the Borderless Portal now, you see that it is convenient for you now." ”
"I'm convenient now, you can say it."
"That's right, Zhao Dong, the four major shareholders of Wujiang Portal are seriously dissatisfied with us burning up nine billion US dollars so quickly, so in the second round of financing, their four major investment companies are not very active......"
When Zhao Ye heard this, he frowned slightly, you are not active, how can I cheat your money, if you don't cheat your money, you will not go to great lengths to promote the listing of the Borderless Portal on the NASDAQ in the United States.
Moreover, the Borderless portal has always wanted to enter the US market, but until now, it has not been successful. Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley and Barclays are all not powerful!
Is the United States so afraid of my Borderless Group?
At this time, Zhao Ye thought for a while and said: "Let the Wujiang portal immediately open the Wujiang network disk business, and launch the enterprise version of the network disk and the personal version of the network disk!" ”
"Okay, Dong Zhao!" Tang Letong nodded and said, now he can only hope that Wujiang Netdisk can impress the investment company and continue to invest in Wujiang Portal.
In fact, the effect of the business was indeed unexpected.
In particular, the enterprise version of the network disk business is definitely a powerful medicine in the current era when the Internet bubble is beginning to rise!!
