Chapter 835 Super Big Contract, Buy Plane and Sell Airplane
"It's actually a very easy problem to solve."
"I think Pan Jun should be more worried than we are about what will happen to Daystar Technology."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Fang Sisi immediately understood.
Many of the things that Daystar Technology studies are closely related to the military industry.
Whether it's drones or helicopters, or rockets and satellites, or even so-called fire bombs and the like, they can be military products or civilian products.
Especially recently, a new generation of real stealth drones on the side of Daystar Technology will soon enter the official test flight.
This thing is a proper military drone, otherwise why would the stealth performance be so powerful?
The stealth performance of the twin-tailed scorpion drone is completely insignificant in front of this drone.
"That's a good idea."
"Pan Jun will definitely be able to find the relevant departments and ask some professional personnel to help Daystar Technology deal with this aspect of the content."
"But the last time I heard him say that the reconnaissance satellites of the United States would take some pictures around Daystar Technology from time to time."
"It's something we're proud of."
Fang Sisi no longer feels that it is a troublesome thing to be targeted by the United States, to a certain extent, it is a glorious thing.
There are so many enterprises in the whole of China, and there are not many companies that are worthy of people's attention in the United States.
What's more, Daystar Technology is still a private enterprise.
That's even more remarkable.
"Now our relationship is actually okay as a whole, and it belongs to the tail of the honeymoon period."
"In a few years' time, I guess the situation will be completely different."
"When the time comes, we will face all kinds of sanctions and all kinds of strange things that companies such as Daystar Technology will face."
"It's also necessary to start thinking about something in advance now."
"So as not to come up with some core information when someone has taken it away."
As soon as Cao Yang said this, Fang Sisi's face became solemn.
Cao Yang has expressed similar views more than once, and has a pessimistic attitude towards the living environment of various enterprises in the Nanshan system in the international market.
I think that the United States will have some tricks that are beyond everyone's imagination.
To be honest, Fang Sisi has always been skeptical about this.
But she couldn't stand Cao Yang's words too many times, even if she wanted to believe it or not, it was a little difficult.
In addition to various industrial software, we now really need to purchase very few raw materials and equipment from abroad. “
"Even if the situation becomes more special, we can be flexible."
"Huaxia is the most populous country in the world, and our market is also the largest."
"The development of the Chinese market alone can make most of our companies live very well."
Regarding Fang Sisi's point of view, Cao Yang did not refute it.
Anyway, it is definitely good for yourself to make more preparations and let the strength of the Nanshan system and the entire Huaxia go up.
……
Follow the relevant departments together, there must be more constraints.
But it can also save a lot of time.
For example, you don't need to think about the daily itinerary, everyone has arranged it.
You just follow it step by step.
Cao Yang set off with Zhao Siyu, Ji Hua, Zeng Tingting and others this time.
Qian Junfeng on the aerospace science and technology side is also in the list of travelers on this trip, and there are many heads of other companies.
"Mr. Cao, you officially signed a super large order for 100 rocket launches this time, which can be regarded as a complete record."
Although Daystar Technology has signed a letter of intent with the European Space Agency before, it is definitely different from this formal contract.
According to the content of the contract, 30% of the amount must be paid three days after the official signing.
That's a lot of money.
The money is starting to go out, and the chances of the European Space Agency regretting it are very low.
"This is thanks to the help of the relevant departments, but I heard that NASA and SpaceX have been trying to stir up this matter."
"Even on the French and German sides, there is no agreement."
At this time, it is necessary to give credit to the relevant departments, and in fact, people have indeed made efforts.
Otherwise, maybe something will come out.
"Then you have to fight for it, even if there are some people in the member states of the European Space Agency, they can't find a better solution."
"That's why the relevant departments can only be effective at this time."
Qian Junfeng saw it very clearly, and knew that in the final analysis, this matter was due to the high level of Daystar Technology.
Otherwise, it makes no sense to say anything.
"Do you have any new projects to discuss with people when you go to Europe this time?"
Cao Yang really doesn't know what the cooperation project on the aerospace science and technology side is, after all, the things over there involve secrecy at every turn.
He didn't bother to inquire.
"Speaking of which, I may have something to do with you in the future."
Qian Junfeng pondered the words and talked to Cao Yang about aerospace science and technology.
"It's mainly some cooperation on the space station, the project is not as big as yours, after all, there are many things that have not yet been decided."
"On the contrary, there are more actions on the part of various airlines, and this time they have to buy a large number of passenger planes from Airbus."
As soon as Qian Junfeng talked about the space station, Cao Yang was really a little interested.
Daystar 9 may not be particularly suitable for docking with the space station, but Daystar 9 MAX, and even the future Starship, can serve the development of the space station.
With the strength of Daystar Technology, there will be no problem in using starships to build a base directly on the moon when the time comes.
After all, starships are made for rockets.
"We at Daystar Technology also have plans to build a space station in the next few years as a preparation for the future march to the moon."
"If you are interested in aerospace science and technology, you can have a good exchange."
Although Daystar Technology's rocket technology is very good, when it comes to the space station, the situation is much more complicated.
A lot of personnel training-related work must be more experienced in aerospace science and technology.
In this regard, everyone can definitely have a good exchange.
Aerospace Science and Technology also hopes to participate in some projects of Daystar Technology.
So as not to be so embarrassed on some occasions.
Therefore, Cao Yang took the initiative to cooperate with aerospace science and technology this time.
In fact, there is indeed a certain amount of room for cooperation in the future.
"You're going to build your own space station?"
Cao Yang's words surprised Qian Junfeng.
A private enterprise actually wants to build its own space station?
The construction of a space station is a complex process involving many technologies and resources, and its difficulty is definitely not comparable to the development of a rocket.
"Yes, there is a plan!"
Cao Yang said again with certainty.
"The construction of the space station involves many disciplines such as aerospace engineering, materials science, physics, biology, etc."
"The development and use of advanced materials and processes to withstand the intense radiation, extremely low temperatures, and microgravity environments of space are needed."
"In addition, the space station needs to design and develop efficient life support systems such as air circulation, water circulation, and food supply, as well as high-precision orbit control systems and cabin environmental control systems to ensure the safety and health of astronauts."
"So the technical challenge is very big."
Qian Junfeng was a little worried that Cao Yang's brain was hot, and he said that he was going to enter the space station without figuring out anything.
When the time comes, if this is heard by the relevant departments, everyone will take it seriously.
Maybe it will be difficult to ride a tiger in the future.
"In terms of technology, we still have a certain degree of confidence in Qixing Technology, and of course, we also want to cooperate with aerospace science and technology in terms of personnel training."
Cao Yang's cooperation with the olive branch this time is really sincere.
After all, the time for aerospace science and technology to study the space station is definitely earlier than Daystar, I don't know how much.
"Mr. Cao, the construction of the space station is very costly, and there is already a gold-swallowing beast like the Starlink project on the side of Daystar Technology, is it too risky to continue to invest in the space station?"
"You know, the construction of the space station from design, construction to operation and maintenance, the whole process requires a lot of capital investment."
"In the case of the International Space Station, for example, the project has cost more than $150 billion so far."
"These funds are used to purchase materials, develop and test new technologies, carry out space mission lifts, and provide the living support needed by astronauts."
Although Qian Junfeng knew that the enterprises in the Nanshan system were very profitable, especially on the side of Honor Technology and Nanshan Automobile Group, it could be said that they were making money every day.
But no matter how much money you make every day, it is not easy to build a space station.
It's a bottomless pit.
The key is to simply build a space station, which is not of great practical significance to a private enterprise.
At least that's what Qian Junfeng thinks.
"Mr. Qian, I understand what you said, but despite many challenges, the construction of the space station is of great significance for Daystar Technology to explore the universe and promote scientific and technological innovation."
"And I think that with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous investment of funds, I believe that the construction of the space station will gradually reduce in the future, creating better conditions for human beings to live and work in space for a long time."
When Cao Yang talked about the arrangement of the Starship project internally, he mainly mentioned the settlement on the moon and Mars.
Daystar Technology is really working towards these goals.
Cao Yang himself is not sure if he will directly spend the last period of his life outside the earth in the future.
"Mr. Cao, are you serious?"
Feeling Cao Yang's attitude, Qian Junfeng confirmed it again.
"Yes, we plan to build an Earth orbit space station in the next three years, and then a lunar orbit space station in the next five years."
"In the future, we will further move towards Mars and make Daystar Technology the greatest high-tech enterprise in the world."
Cao Yang's words were loud, and it really brought a big impact to Qian Junfeng.
Earth orbit space station, lunar orbit space station, march to Mars......
Any one of these projects is something that many countries have been working hard for many years and can't do.
As a result, a private enterprise in China now has such a grand goal.
He suddenly had a little more hope for the future.
"When I return to China this time, I will personally lead a team to communicate with you about the construction of the space station."
"The best space station is the International Space Station, which is jointly built, operated and used by 16 countries, and is the largest, longest and most designed space international cooperation project in human history."
"It is 108 meters long, weighs more than 400 tons, and can accommodate six astronauts in full state, mainly for scientific exploration and research."
"If Daystar Technology wants to build a space station with its own strength, many things really need to be planned."
"Otherwise, when the project is partially carried out, it will be in a dilemma."
Qian Junfeng really stood in Cao Yang's position at this time to help think about the problem.
In October 2010, Huaxia officially launched the manned space station project, and plans to build a large-scale, long-term manned national space laboratory around 2020.
The aerospace science and technology side has already begun to do the design and development work for the core module of the future space station.
If you can cooperate with Daystar Technology, it may have an unexpected effect.
Even if everyone does not cooperate in this project, and cooperates to build their own space stations, it can still play a role where one plus one is greater than two.
"Thank you Mr. Qian for reminding me that I will personally be responsible for the projects of the Daystar Technology Space Station, and strive to implement these projects as soon as possible."
For Daystar Technology, the rocket to launch the space station actually already exists.
The Daystar 9 MAX has been able to meet the launch needs of the Earth orbit space station, and even the lunar orbit space station can be launched with the Daystar 9 MAX.
Of course, if Starship is made in the future, then it will be more convenient to launch the relevant equipment and materials for the launch of the lunar orbital space station.
Especially if you want to build a base on the moon in the future, you will need a super heavy rocket like Starship.
Otherwise, there are too few things that can be carried at a time, and the cost is too high.
Along the way, Cao Yang chatted with Qian Junfeng, ate, and rested, but soon arrived in France.
Daystar Technology will sign a formal contract with the European Space Agency to be held in France.
Although the European Space Agency (ESA) is a space exploration and development organization involving several European countries, there is no single dominant country.
However, France has played an important role as a technical contributor in the European Space Agency, and its space technology and strength enjoy a high reputation in Europe and even the world.
In addition, the European Space Agency's launch center is the Guyana Launch Center in French Guiana, which also demonstrates the importance of France in European space activities.
So this time the signing ceremony was in France, which is also very normal.
Of course, it is not that as soon as the plane lands, it is directly signed up, but there are a series of activities with the relevant departments.
By the afternoon of the next day, Daystar Technology's super contract with the European Space Agency was officially signed.
Werner, the head of the European Space Agency, and Zhao Siyu, the general manager of Daystar Technology, signed their names as representatives of the two parties.
Cao Yang and the leaders of relevant departments witnessed this important historical moment.
With the signing of this super contract, the domestic airlines next to it also signed a purchase order with Airbus for more than 100 Airbus aircraft.
This purchase amount is much larger than that of Daystar Technology.
At present, the world's passenger planes are mainly produced by Airbus and Boeing, and the others can only play soy sauce.
Although Huaxia has also worked hard for many years, the large aircraft project has never really landed.
Before the large aircraft is officially put into use, it can only purchase passenger aircraft from Airbus and Boeing.
However, whether to purchase Airbus aircraft or buy from Boeing is very particular.
There are more doorways involved in this, and people from relevant departments are the most aware of this.
As for the price of the aircraft, this time is not the point.
"Mr. Cao, your Daystar Technology is doing a very good job in UAVs, and I heard that you are also developing small business jets."
"The technical strength of the entire Nanshan Group is very strong, have you considered producing large passenger aircraft?"
Zhao Tianling of AVIC also visited with relevant departments this time.
Seeing that various airlines are looking for Airbus to buy so many planes, the mood is very complicated.
In 2008, China restarted the research and development of the large aircraft C919 project.
However, in fact, the C919 is only a short- and medium-range jet airliner, designed for short- to medium-range routes.
Even so, there were many difficulties that were experienced, and the first flight had not yet been made.
Even if the first flight is successful, it will take a lot of time to officially enter mass production.
The most troublesome thing is that even if your aircraft enters the state of mass production, it may not be able to get the airworthiness certificate of various countries.
Whether you can fly around the world at will at that time is also a big question.
It can be said that although Huaxia buys the most passenger planes from all over the world every year, its technical strength in this area is relatively poor.
Otherwise, how could Zhao Tianling ask Cao Yang if he was interested in entering the large aircraft project.
So far, as long as it is what the Nanshan system wants to do, it has been successful.
Engines, gearboxes, high-precision CNC machine tools, high-end carbon fiber, recyclable rockets......
A difficult project can't be difficult to overcome.
That's why Zhao Tianling has this idea.
"Our group is now more interested in aero-engine projects than in the production of large aircraft."
"We will only enter the large aircraft program if we have the ability to produce aero engines ourselves."
"This could take years."
Cao Yang is really a little interested in big planes.
Of course, it's certainly not a big aircraft of the C919 class.
Although this kind of aircraft is very meaningful to Huaxia, there is already a magic capital commercial flight in research, and there is no need for Daystar Technology to do more.
But it makes sense to do a larger plane, the kind of big plane that can be used as a large transport plane.
Even if there are domestic institutions researching, it does not affect Daystar to continue to work hard.
After all, Huaxia's strength in this area is still a long way from being the world's leader.
"Are you interested in aero engines?"
Zhao Tianling was really interested at this time.
Compared with the aerospace industry, the performance of China's aviation industry is not so satisfactory.
Among them, in the aviation industry, aero engines are the weakest link.
Whether it is the engine used in a large helicopter, the engine used in a large aircraft, or the engine used in a fighter jet, it can be said that it is not so good.
No wonder Zhao Tianling was so excited when he heard that Cao Yang was interested in aero engines.
The strength of Nanshan engine, Zhao Tianling is very clear.
Although the other party mainly produces gasoline engines and diesel engines, it is completely different from aero engines.
However, people can also produce engines for use in drones, and they have begun to cross the border into the aviation industry.
If Nanshan Engine really comes up with a large high-performance aero engine, it will be worth looking forward to.
Now Huaxia buys planes everywhere, and in the future it will be able to sell planes everywhere.
The feeling is definitely quite different.
"Yes, our group already has a dedicated aero engine team, but before it was mainly working on engines used in business jets and engines used in drones."
"For large aero engines, it was only officially established last year, and there will be some results at least until next year."
Cao Yang's modest words were not modest at all in Zhao Tianling's opinion, and even a little unreliable.
I only started the project last year, and I want to produce results next year!
How is this possible?
Even if it's just a prototype next year, it's a great achievement!
After all, Huaxia has been engaged in large aero engines for many years, and it has not completely caught up with the world level until now.
With his understanding of Cao Yang, since the other party wants to enter the aero engine industry, he will definitely not produce those low-end products that can be mass-produced in China, but directly aim at high-end products.
The R&D and production of aero engines is a complex and long-term process that involves technological innovations and breakthroughs in many fields.
Therefore, the world's advanced aero engine is not achieved overnight, but requires continuous investment and efforts in technology, capital and talent from all countries and companies.
GE Aero Engines designs and manufactures the GE90, Rolls-Royce Trent XWB, and Pratt & Whitney PW4000.
Now Cao Yang has spent 3 years trying to make a big move.
This is not very reliable no matter how you look at it.
However, the status of Nanshan enterprises in China is very special, and the largest number of national science and technology awards every year are Nanshan systems.
This has been going on for years.
In addition, as long as it is what the Nanshan system wants to do, it has been done now.
So Zhao Tianling really didn't dare to question too much, but had a little more expectation!
He also hopes that the next time he participates in this kind of event, he will sell airplanes, not buy airplanes.
