For other private aerospace companies in China, the space bureau has not paid much attention to it because it already has a big guy like Xinyuan.

One new distance is enough, and if there are a few more, the country can't stand the toss.

However, in general, it is still a supportive attitude, and the existence of the Aviation Development Commission has gradually shown that the absorption of private capital is not necessarily all bad.

So the Aviation Development Commission pointed out a clear way, and then carried out research from scratch It seems to be a bit redundant construction, why don't you buy some things?

Xinyuan Company also responded positively, putting almost the entire line of engine products, recycling control systems, and even satellite platforms on the shelves.

You can only produce rocket bodies, engine Xinyuan provides all liquid rocket engines from 12 tons to a maximum of 500 tons, liquid oxygen liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen methane, liquid oxygen kerosene, everything you want, as long as you buy it, you can sell it.

The recycling control system can also be bought, and the arrow body below 5 meters can be customized and optimized for free after being bought.

The space agency is not idle, although now they are going all out to land on the moon, but it is quite easy to squeeze a little production capacity to private enterprises, the engine is basically YF100, and the "Yunkai" recovery system of the Eighth Academy currently supports 3.35 meters and is also sold.

If the engine can be bought, the control system can be bought, and most of the problems of that rocket will be solved.

These companies are naturally cheering, and they are not ashamed of being purchased by the space agency, and many of Aramco's aerospace companies also buy Lucia's engines.

However, in addition to wanting to buy engines, they also took the initiative to come to the door to sell their own plans to see if they could attract some bigwigs to invest or something.

Although Xinyuan's rocket lineage is not lacking, small and medium-sized rockets are still relatively monotonous and have relatively few undertakes.

There is still a market, Xinyuan has not yet reached the bottom of the country, and the aerospace market has also begun to prosper in the past two years, the demand for satellites is increasing, and there is no shortage of orders.

But Xinyuan's open-mindedness still surprised them, the largest is actually a 500-ton single-combustion chamber liquid oxygen liquid hydrogen engine, the nozzle diameter is only 2.7 meters, although it is not produced, but everyone does not doubt Xinyuan's ability.

Lin Ju looked at the PPT of several companies, how to say it, it was not bad, but it lacked a little novelty, and the direction was not clear.

It is not the best to swarm into the field of rockets, in fact, it is necessary to think that many companies like Aramco, each with exclusive technology in different fields, can go long-term.

Lin Ju thought about it and asked a question:

"The rocket will be said later, I will say one thing, Xinyuan's lunar plan includes the circumlunar space station and the lunar surface complex, and I will send you the specific functions to undertake, if you feel that you can do a good job in which part, you can submit a plan to me, and after Xinyuan review, it may accept the adoption of joint development."

All:!!!

They reacted immediately, Lin Ju wanted to pull them.

The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then one of them boldly said:

"Does that include the space station, the lunar rover, the habitation module?"

Lin Ju: "That's right, Xinyuan is now very big, the moon landing is a system project, and the future development of the moon is not something that a company can complete, if your plan is approved, Xinyuan will also come up with some technologies that may be used."

However, our requirements are very high, and the timeliness is very short, we must produce results in a short time, and it is not possible to draw a PPT like Ami and take investment.

But there is no need to worry too much, as long as the idea is good enough, there are still many undemonstrated technologies in Xinyuan that may be used. ”

……

"Director Lin's ambition is to turn them all into subordinate enterprises!"

Knowing the information obtained by 7 private aerospace companies in Xinyuan, the boss directly pointed out that Lin Ju was holding a "martial arts conference" and wanted to be the leader of the alliance.

If those private enterprises are obedient and obedient, although they can also obtain a lot of advanced scientific research capabilities, but the source of technology is caught by Xinyuan, they can only let it go.

However, it is interesting to sell key components of rockets, and the engine and recovery control system can be sold at will without restrictions, which means that the threshold for aerospace is greatly reduced.

In the past, Li Chuanfu said that a car is a sofa on the wheel, but now it can be said that a rocket is a cylinder on the engine.

It is still recyclable, which allows the company that buys to recover the investment, just like making a mobile phone, and can enter the market if you have money.

It is conceivable how many people will be ready to move once it is really implemented.

But Academician She has a different opinion:

"Rockets are only a small part, and the big head is the moon program he said, but is the moon really worth developing? Or rather, in the short term, is there any? ”

This sentence made the big guy fall into deep thought.

Does the moon have any value? Of course there is, but these values must be brought into play to be called value!

For example, we all know that there is a large amount of aluminum, iron, and the highest value rare metals on the surface of the moon, and the vacuum smelting is difficult and the purity is high, but now there is a large-scale transportation capacity?

It seems like...... Yes.

The big guy and Academician She thought of the A-100 nuclear heat engine at the same time.

The H2 space shuttle can carry 30 tons of cargo at a time, but it consumes less than 20 tons of fuel for a trip between low lunar and low Earth orbits.

What can be loaded with these 30 tons, if it is refined rhenium metal, which is mainly used for aero engine manufacturing, 17,000 yuan per kilogram, then it is worth about 510 million yuan.

How much does it cost to transport these 30 tons of rhenium metal from the lunar surface to low-earth orbit and throw it down? How much effort does it take?

The moon gravity is low, the rocket load factor can be as high as 60%, to hit a 30-ton load into the sky, the required rocket take-off weight is less than 50 tons, and the engine thrust is 30 tons.

It only takes three minutes for the engine to propel a 50-ton rocket to deliver a 30-ton payload to the lunar orbit, which would be quite cheap or even negligible if the moon could produce its own fuel and carry out recycling maintenance.

The world needs at least 50 tons of rhenium metal every year, and the consumption of resources will increase.

However, another one is powerful, such as iridium metal, the current international price is about 630 yuan a gram, that is, 630,000 yuan a kilogram, the current global output is about 7 tons / year, the reserves are about 5,000 tons, and the global demand is about 15 tons, which is a very expensive and important rare metal.

The most recent use is for rocket engine nozzles, as well as high-temperature alloys, the most corrosion-resistant, etc.

If you can transport 30 tons of this thing, it will be too valuable, the market price is 19 billion, and the early investment in the moon landing will be recovered in a few times.

However, this is an ideal situation, even if a transportation is completed within a year, it also means that the production of iridium metal has skyrocketed by 4 times, although the demand will definitely rise simultaneously, and the price will definitely fall a lot, but even if it falls to 200,000 kilograms, a ton is 200 million, and a transportation is 6 billion.

Mining, it has a future!

Of course, this is premised on the use of the ridiculously high specific impulse of nuclear engines for transportation, and the establishment of smelters and mines in space that can refine and produce 30 tons of rare metals in at least one year.

The power required for the smelting furnace alone is 1500KW, and the supply of personnel, mining equipment, etc., power stations, etc., must first have a 10MW power station, and the equipment required for the mine and smelter is at least 300 to 500 tons.

Projecting 500 tons of mass to the surface of the moon? Academician She shook his head, laughing at himself for the rhapsody he had just had.
