"The RX01 data bus can simultaneously sense the sensors throughout the rocket and process all external factors in parallel, which is the key to our success, and the C-class rocket recovery technology alone cannot do this."

After a short celebration, a special team has gone to the landing site to recover Xinyuan-1B, and they will tow the rocket back to the factory to carefully examine its condition.

The purpose of recycling is to reload and punch out, and it is useless to just get an empty shell back.

At the same time, Lin Ju held a summary meeting with the engineers who were mainly involved in recycling, including not only system engineers but also many senior researchers.

Guo Shen was the leader of the team that took the lead in getting the control system, so he first said the important factors of rocket recovery.

The others agreed with this and applauded.

"Mr. Guo, is the RX01 specification really created by us Xinyuan?"

A later senior engineer in the software couldn't help but ask, because the data indicators of the RX01 are so amazing, and they are very dazzling in this recycling, it doesn't seem like a small company can develop it at all.

At present, the world's most widely used 1553B data bus specification, created by Aramco in the 60s of the last century, is still an advanced representative, and China has learned and used it in its own aerospace field.

Guo Shen: "Of course we created it ourselves, but it can be traced back to a scrap project at the Aramco Space Agency in the 90s, when they wanted to create a new specification for a spacecraft to land on Mars.

Anderov provided a lot of launch data from the last century of the Alliance, as well as some of ESA's experience, and finally we worked together to design the RX01, which I can now say is the most advanced bus protocol in the world. ”

There must always be a source for the source of technology, and it just so happens that system engineers come from Lucia, Aramco, and Europe, and it is easy to shake the pot.

From the control system to the engine to the recycling process, it took an hour to make a brief summary and confirm that while there was still much to improve, the main process was correct and there were no major errors.

As for the sudden crosswind when landing, the solution is simple and rude, set up as many observation posts as possible, and try to make the landing site as empty and free of terrain fluctuations.

The ideal location is offshore, which can not only avoid the impact of the rocket explosion due to failure, but also use water vapor to transfer heat, but the difficulty of recovery at sea will increase by another level.

By the end of the meeting, the preliminary assessment report of the inspection team was also delivered.

Through the flaw detection of the engine and the rocket body, the inspection team basically determined that there were no defects and damages, and only needed to repaint and refill the fuel, and it could be restored to the launch state within a week.

Lin Ju didn't look at the details, and went directly to the end, which was stamped with a red seal "qualified".

This means that the average cost of two launches will be reduced by 30 percent, 45 percent if it is reused five times, and only 50 percent if it is 10 more launches.

That is to say, after the Xinyuan-1 family achieves first-level recovery, as long as it is guaranteed to be successfully recovered 4 times, the cost of each rocket can be pressed at 10 million, the low-earth orbit capacity of the recyclable version of the rocket is about 1.3 tons, and the average LEO launch cost is about 7,700 yuan per kilogram, which is just $1,000 at the dollar exchange rate at this time.

The main SSO track capacity has shrunk to 680 kilograms, and the cost of one kilogram is only 14,000 yuan, equivalent to 2,000 US dollars.

This is still the Xinyuan No. 1 rocket is small, the cost of the first stage accounts for only 60%, the larger the rocket, the heavier the first stage The higher the cost proportion, the higher the recovery benefit, if the design of the Xinyuan No. 3 is also recycled, the average launch cost of 5 times will be reduced by 70%.

After settling the account on the paper, Lin Ju swallowed his saliva fiercely.

If all the rockets launched next can be recovered, then the cost will not be slashed again?

Of course, there are also people who want to go with their own bosses.

After walking out of the conference room, Hu Bai, the vice president and temporary assistant who followed Lin Ju, said seemingly unintentionally:

"Next month's new level C seems to be 3.5 meters in diameter, if we use this recycled level to install it, we can save at least 9 million, and the profit of this order is less than 8 million."

Lin Ju shuddered, and then seriously criticized his unhealthy thoughts.

"Tell the customer that it is a new rocket, how can it be changed, and besides, this is only recycled once, what if there is a problem next time?"

Although he is indeed very excited, this kind of thing is immoral, and it is not good to give people a second-hand rocket for the first commercial order.

"Then, let me ask Chief Engineer Androv if he can also change the first grade of Xinyuan No. 1C to be recyclable? It's not a loss. ”

"This ...... You go and ask Anderov? ”

"Yes!"

……

The recovery of the Xinyuan-1B rocket has made history, but how big is the impact? So big that the private space world is about to turn the world upside down!

More venture capitalists have come to Lin Ju, and this time the attitude is extremely firm, and it is even more popular than last time.

Because reusable rockets represent one thing: private spaceflight, which can really make money!

Although aerospace is high-tech, there has never been a saying that it can be completely profitable, and it is indirectly created by derivative technology, and it is impossible to directly obtain high returns.

But if the reusable rocket is successful, a large number of customers will be tapped as the launch unit price is halved, which will greatly expand the aerospace market, and can really achieve sustainable profitability.

Regardless of how Lin Ju responds to investors, the impact has spread to Aramco anyway.

Lao Ma's empty fork continues to be favored in the stock market, and the stock price has a rising trend, after all, the Falcon 9 and Xinyuan No. 1B have the same route, and it won't be long before it will succeed?

Several of the rest of Aramco's private aerospace rushed to PPT overnight, saying that they also have rocket recovery development plans, although they look different, but the original route is still vertical recovery.

In the past, when you said you were going to recycle rockets, they would scold you and think you were going to set off fireworks.

Now, as long as you take the PPT to show the investors, you can just give millions of dollars to come in and test the water, just like the rise of the Internet era, as long as there is creativity, there will be a large amount of investment.

Lin Ju's recycling directly made the private aerospace market, which was still in its infancy, gradually become lively.

The private aerospace companies in China, which will be established in a few years, are now preparing materials to register trademarks, and are also preparing to change PPT to find investors.

And at the country's space agency, the originally calm and continuous environment is also tumbling like a piece of iron that is about to burn red.

Because the space agency at this time is also in a critical period:

The development of large rockets represented by the Long March 5 is about to come to an end, and the three brothers of the Long March 6, Long March 7 and Long March 8 based on the YF100 are also on the verge of basin, and the next few years will greatly expand the spectrum of the aerospace family.

Because of these new rockets, lunar exploration and Mars exploration projects have been launched, a new generation of manned spacecraft has entered testing, and a new generation of large space stations is also being planned.

Further on, there is the super-heavy rocket Long March 9 and the new generation of manned rockets with the code name 921, based on which manned exploration of the Moon and Mars are carried out.

In the field of cheap and reproducible access to space, the heavy task is pinned on the "Tengyun" project, which has not yet been fully established, but has been basically determined.
