Chapter 70: The Will

According to international practice, LEO (low earth orbit capacity) of less than 30 tons is usually called medium and small rockets, 30 to 50 tons are heavy rockets, and more than 100 tons are called super heavy or giant rockets.

The success of Xinyuan-2 marks that Huaguo Aerospace has entered the heavy-duty era and has the ability to build a large-scale space station and carry out large-scale unmanned exploration of deep space missions.

This is the fourth political entity outside of Aramco, Lucia, and the European Union, and the first private space company in the world to do so (Lao Ma's Falcon Heavy has not yet been launched).

At the same time, in terms of recyclability, fuel and rocket size, Xinyuan-2 also led the way and set multiple records.

The Lucia Space Agency and NACA are beating their chests, wondering why the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of Xinyuan-2 were let go by them, and they showed such great achievements as soon as they returned to China? This must be a system problem!

Next week's "TIMES" has revealed that Lin Ju will be used as the cover, and an application for appointment has been submitted.

On the Internet, Lin Ju made his debut as "Director Lin" against the general trend of domestic manufacturers being scolded.

This naturally stems from the identity of the former tractor factory owner of Lin Ju, the original director of Lin Ju is still the name of the old employee to express his proximity, and now everyone calls it that.

Prince Hamand also congratulated Lin Ju, saying that a hand-made custom luxury sports car that he had never driven before had been loaded onto the plane from Arbor and would land on the ground in Xinyuan two days later.

However, it was only then that Crown Prince Hamand discovered a serious problem: Lin Ju did not have his own estate!

For a long time, Lin Ju has lived in the company, and the C-level base of the system includes dormitories, with single and double people.

Of course, another purpose here is to convene a meeting of engineers, which is convenient and reassuring.

But in Hamander's opinion, Lin Ju is really too frugal, and must have invested all his money in scientific research, if Lin Ju hadn't tried his best to shirk it, he would definitely have to buy a building in the local villa area and give it away.

Lin Ju naturally felt that it was unnecessary, he was alone, and he did not have the habit of calling servants, and the company dormitory was already an excellent residence.

Loyal staff keep him safe, no one dares to come in and harass him, and he can see the spacecraft leaving the factory anytime and anywhere, what could be more wonderful than this?

As for the crown prince's sports car that was shipped without prior notice, Lin Ju had no choice but to accept it and treat it as a collection of handicrafts.

Don't think that a sports car with tens of millions of dollars of hand-customized knives is a perfect artifact, in fact, it is extremely delicate, the engine may have to be overhauled in a thousand hours, the structure is fragile and troublesome to repair, and it has to be maintained all day before it is driven for an hour, it is really a rich man's toy.

Speaking of cars, Lin Ju took out a stack of design sketches.

Chen Jun found out a lot of plans with excellent conceptual design and mass production potential from within Nanfang Motor, and sent them to Lin Ju for him to choose.

The reason for such a request is that Lin Ju thought of the common routine of new brands in later generations: crowdfunding to build cars.

That is to say, the car factory has not yet, first draw a plan, and then build a prototype car, let the user pay a deposit in advance to make an appointment, and the manufacturer has the ability to start mass production and finally deliver after receiving the money.

The whole process can be as short as one year, as long as two years, and even far away, the founder runs away.

But there are still many people who pay money like this, and Lin Ju can't figure out why, but it doesn't prevent him from doing it.

He wanted to choose a plan that was creative enough and beautiful enough, and Chen Jun promised that it would take a few days to build a car shell that could not be driven, and then use space to preheat the car in a ruthless way.

Then take advantage of your fame to crowdfund and build a car, not because you lack that money, but mainly because you start to grab users now.

It not only gives Xin'an time for R&D progress, but also can enter the automobile market with a lofty attitude.

Isn't that wonderful?

As for how to choose, it is very simple, just try to get closer to the development direction of future generations, Lin Ju quickly picked out a two-door and two-row coupe design, which looks very streamlined, and the conceptual design is relatively complete.

Southern Motor also hopes to put up the 2T luxury SUV prototype that they originally gave up and rekindled hope, which corresponds to the two unmanned launch missions of the two H1s.

Lin Ju also agreed, as if the simulated counterweight had no impact on the launch mission, and the promotion of the sub-brand Xin'an did not charge money, and it was replaced by Xinyuan's increased shareholdings, but the new car of Southern Automobile was charged separately, and the price was expensive: a fixed price of 88 million.

This is really a hemorrhage, although the profit of Southern Automobile has risen by more than 20% this year, but there are more places to spend a lot of money, which is enough to show their attention.

The first stage of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-1 rocket is now put into the No. 2 assembly building at the Qiongzhou launch site, and engineers from Xinyuan are evaluating it.

The minimum period is 18 days, which is already very fast for a heavy rocket.

On the seventh day after the launch, the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket completed in-plant testing and was transported to Xinyuan Airport for transfer.

The Xinyuan-2 Yao-1 and Yao-2 rockets will remain one launched and one ready to use, and will be used alternately to verify and prepare for manned flights.

And three days ago, at the Ulan Hasan airfield, Progress was lifted and remounted on the back of the Tu-154.

She has already flown to Xinyuan for a week-long inspection before being sent to the Qiongzhou launch site for her first unmanned space flight on June 15.

As for the H1 No. 2 Tuanjie, the electrical equipment is still being installed and debugged at the end of the factory and is on standby as a backup machine.

……

In Beijing, the space agency held a high-level meeting for a week.

The question around China is what kind of adjustment should be made to China's future aerospace project.

Xinyuan Aerospace has strong technology and must not be excluded from the plan, but how to participate and how much to participate is a question, and if it is reliable, is it reliable?

When it comes to major events like aerospace, no one dares to make decisions lightly, so in the end, I wrote two reports and handed them to my superiors.

One is a dense eight-strand essay for the outside to see, and the other is a brief proposal of less than 2,000 words.

The superiors are resolute, and they also believe in the judgment of the old aerospace, and directly give their opinions: Is it necessary to use private aerospace? Yes, but depending on the level of technology and trustworthiness; Is the space program adjusted? Adjustment, there is a way to speed up why not adjust, but it is not allowed to rush, and it is still necessary to strictly approve; In addition, the space agency can catch up with the advanced aerospace sequence according to the level of its own technology in the world, combined with outstanding domestic private enterprises.

Translation, which means: Xinyuan Aerospace has good power and can accelerate the space program; As for what you can participate in and what you can't, you are the ones who are responsible; Also, work hard to improve your skills, don't continue to lag behind, lack of money to report.

The space agency is already overjoyed by this result, this is a holy decree, telling them to increase the funding of the holy decree!

Do you need money to adjust your space program? Do you want money to catch up with the world's advanced? The superiors knew, but they still allowed it, which means that this year's unplanned budget can also be approved!

In 2015, China has begun to enter an era of rapid economic and technological growth, and capital is no longer the biggest limiting factor.
