Sometimes, a sales call doesn't have to make you pay for it, but it may be to send you money.

That night, Lin Ju and the factory office both received many phone calls, with different origins, but the central meaning was roughly the same.

The basic process can be summarized as follows:

"Hello? Xinyuan Tractor Factory (I am Lin Ju). ”

"Owner, swim fitness...... No, investment, angel rounds, listings to understand? ”

There are both domestic and foreign, and they are basically professional investment companies.

These investment companies have a lot of money in their hands, and when they see a project, they will step in, and they don't care about money at all.

After all, in this kind of investment, many times the object of financing is for the investor's money.

But they will throw money at any promising project, and aerospace has a long return cycle at a glance, and financiers have ways to seek benefits for themselves.

However, all those who called at night were classified by Lin Ju as undisciplined objects, and they were all blacklisted, and then their cards were changed immediately.

The reason for leaking the mobile phone number was that he didn't know which big smart person actually put the factory director's phone on the official website, which caused Lin Ju to be bombarded with phone calls.

And for the financing of Lin Ju is not considered at all, at least Xinyuan Tractor Factory does not consider, after all, this is the base of system certification, and there is no risk at all.

Of course, it is not a complete refusal to cooperate, and the exchange of shares in modern business is a very common behavior, and it is a big deal to set up a few more vests.

He now thinks about the next task of the system: to send a man into low-Earth orbit for at least an hour in a year.

This is basically a reproduction and sending people to the sky, and the designation of the Xinyuan-1 rocket is not enough, and a new rocket must be developed.

At the same time, there is a bigger problem: the manned capsule and other life-sustaining facilities.

The latter is the focus, and these things are the real technical difficulties, and even the space powers dare not take risks easily.

Huaguo's manned launch vehicle CZ-2F, since 03 years to send the first astronaut into space, directly frozen the technical state of the rocket.

That is to say, no matter how the technology progresses after that, the CZ-2F will always use the mature technology at that time, and not even a single screw can be changed, just to not increase any risks.

The same goes for Lucia's Soyuz series of rockets, just use the old technology, and there are new and better technologies that are not upgraded.

Even Aramco did not develop its own manned rocket anymore and switched to Lucia's Soyuz rocket, all for safety reasons.

In order to send a person into low-earth orbit and back, at least several technologies must be broken:

The first is the return capsule, which has to withstand the high temperature ablation of thousands of degrees on the ground to ensure the safety of astronauts.

Orbital module: generally used for cargo or loading scientific instruments and astronaut activity space, can be omitted.

Propulsion Module: Used to generate electricity and to propel manned spacecraft for maneuvering, and is required for orbit changes.

Escape Tower: The rocket is placed on top of the manned spacecraft when it is launched, and the astronaut is taken out of the rocket to escape when the rocket fails, and its biggest task is to make it unused for every launch, but it must be equipped.

Where is this set enough time for the next year? Even with the addition of task rewards, it is almost impossible, and there are too many technologies involved and too complex.

No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible task, and Lin Ju is worried again.

However, the next day, a few pieces of good news still lifted his spirits.

First of all, Xinyuan No. 1 was on CCTV, and was encouraged by the government, and became famous, and now it is the real brother of private aerospace (although it is currently this one).

I heard that the state is seriously considering setting up a private space steering support fund project like subsidizing new energy and solar energy, and it may receive a large amount of financial support at that time.

The second is that the Sixth Academy sent a formal commercial request, hoping to purchase three K120 engines and a full set of manufacturing technology, as well as a production license.

There is also news that Lin Ju thinks is not good news: several investment companies have come to the door, hoping to subscribe for shares.

These good news are basically in the direction of funding can provide a lot of support, but the technology is useless.

Lin Ju was not interested in investment, and felt that it was better to study how to achieve the second task of the system.

When he came to the office, Lin Ju first used three system engineer cards.

The office phone rang immediately, and the doorman said that three people came from outside the factory to come in, and Lin Ju immediately asked him to let him go.

A few minutes later, three Asian faces were standing in his office.

Two engineers of Chinese descent are both working at ESA after studying abroad, and one is an engineer at the Lucia Space Agency, who is a Tatar and has already obtained Chinese nationality.

They focused on materials, electrical controls, and overall design, respectively, and the system arrangement was very comprehensive.

The names of the three are Chen Xuan, Ke Yun and Anderov.

When the three of them accepted Lin Ju's contract respectively, the system immediately prompted:

[There are already 4 system engineers of the same level, and the skills of one of the engineers can be upgraded to form a scientific research unit: Rocket Research Institute.]

Rocket Research Institute: Rocket and engine research and development can be carried out, increasing investment or technology can improve the progress, and non-system personnel can be recruited as apprentices, and apprentices can grow into system engineers after maturity. 】

Lin Ju didn't expect the system to give him a new surprise, and immediately called Guo Shen and used the only C-level skill card on him.

This is due to system limitations, and the upgrade card that is lower than the system certification level cannot be used for personnel with a lower level than itself, otherwise it will be invalid.

After Guo Shen was upgraded, he did not become a B-level engineer, but became a C+ level.

Lin Ju immediately asked the four of them to set up a research and development department, and a new section immediately appeared in the system, and the research and development department was certified as a research institute.

[Research Institute: R&D Department of Xinyuan Tractor Factory

Current R&D Tasks: None

R&D Progress: None

Completed Tasks: None

Already has C+ Engineer*1, C-Rank Engineer*3, Apprentice*0

After Lin Ju finished talking about the R&D department, Guo Shen immediately put forward a long-awaited suggestion

"Boss, in order to improve efficiency, I propose that the tractor factory immediately change its name and reorganize into a company, and at the same time immediately start recruiting talents.

We have too few people and we have to expand to meet the standards of a small space company. ”

Lin Ju nodded in agreement, the tractor factory is indeed short of manpower, and it really needs to change its name.

"Xinyuan Aerospace Power, how about the name?"

“Aerospace power？ The abbreviation XAP is a good name. ”

Guo Shen has no opinion on the name, as long as it is not so eye-catching as the tractor factory, he agrees.

The meaning of this name lies in Lin Ju's main idea: power is the cornerstone of aerospace.

Without high-thrust engines, large spacecraft are utopian, and the requirements for power in aerospace can be much more important than in other industries.

After the name change was decided, Lin Ju immediately issued a new task to the R&D department:

"In the next stage, Xinyuan Astronautics' mission is to send a person into space and return safely. The scheme is free, and I hope that the R&D department can give a design as soon as possible.

If I can, I'd ask for it to be done within a year. ”

Guo Shen and the other four engineers had no objection after listening, and the former also assured Lin Ju:

"Although the time of one year is shorter, if you refer to the plans of various countries, there is no problem in designing a small manned spacecraft, don't worry, boss."

Lin Juxin said that you misunderstood, and coughed lightly: "Cough, I mean to send people to heaven within a year." ”

“……”

The four engineers stared at Lin Ju with the eyes of a fool, and it took a long time for Guo Shen to speak leisurely:

"At this time, I can really only send people to heaven, I hope the boss will transform it well after you go in, and memorize the safety regulations more."
