50 billion, what can you do in China? It is possible to build an aircraft carrier, a bare ship.

The Standing Committee approved 50 billion yuan for the Dawning Plan, which was not affected by the arrogance of Aramco in exchanging a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for a Saturn V in the last century, and felt that it was worth taking out the money for an aircraft carrier and landing on the moon ahead of schedule.

As a result, the 909 project will take away another 50 billion, and the three courts also reported that the entire project plan will be at least 100 billion.

At the very least, that means there will be an overrun.

The biggest reason why it is so expensive is that it is on the H2.

When Xinyuan received the military's inquiry for H2, they did not quote immediately, because they did not know the cost of the H2 nuclear power version, and it took some effort to give an estimated price.

Lin Ju initially planned to build two H2M conventional versions and two H2 nuclear power versions, and the manufacturing cost of H2M was 3 billion yuan, H2 was 4.5 billion yuan, and the latter's R&D cost was 11 billion yuan per aircraft.

The price of H2 is almost ten times that of H1!

If you want to sell H2, Xinyuan gave a friendly price: 13 billion.

After communicating with the military, I know that their demand is almost five, so the seven H2s are evenly divided into R&D costs, and the unit price is about 6.4 billion yuan, and the profit of doubling the quotation can only be said to be average.

In other words, not counting the others, it will cost at least 65 billion yuan to purchase 5 H2s......

In the later stage, including spare parts, future upgrades, etc., the 909 project will invest about 300 billion yuan in ten years.

Don't look at it as if the government is investing hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars in automobiles and real estate in other fields, but arms procurement is different.

The investment of 300 billion yuan in the automobile field has driven a trillion-dollar market, solved millions of jobs in the upstream and downstream of an industrial chain, provided income for millions of families and tens of millions of people, and created more value around the growth of car ownership.

The armament of 300 billion yuan, unless we find a way to use 300 billion yuan to "make friends" from other small partners, otherwise the 300 billion yuan will be spent in real time, and it will not be beneficial to the economy.

So the superiors of the space race dare to continue, the arms race...... At the very least, be cautious.

However, after the rapid implementation of the Dawning Plan, the country's economy seems to be growing faster than expected last year, so for the 909 project, it was finally approved.

……

July 21, 6 a.m. Beijing time.

Lin Ju put on the spacesuit in the cabin, reluctantly glanced at the space station, and then drilled through the passage and entered the Progress.

Fifteen days have passed, and it's time to return to the surface.

During this time, Lin Ju carried out three consecutive out-of-cabin activities, and even carried out a maintenance of the solar panels of the space station, which was too addictive to astronauts.

At least two astronauts accompanied him on each out-of-cabin activity, and the longest of the three extravehicular activities was 70 minutes, without incident.

Lin Ju liked the feeling of getting out of the capsule, especially when he left the space station and floated alone in space.

When he pushed himself away and leaned back against the only man-made object around him without touching the space station module for the first time, he was nervous at first, but slowly relaxed after getting used to it.

The limbs can be spread freely in the freest and most relaxed posture without any restraints, as if they have disappeared, and they are not even felt without deliberate movements.

There is nothing to borrow from except the rope, as long as it is not tightened, it will theoretically be trapped in orbit forever, and it will become a low-orbit satellite orbiting the earth, which may slow down and degrade due to atmospheric drag after thousands of years, until it enters the atmosphere and is burned to ashes.

It's a feeling that is both frightening, but also has an extreme attraction that makes you want to stop.

If the time is right, when he is in the universe like this, there is a light that is not strong enough to make people lose their grasp of the distance, and the whole person seems to be tightly wrapped in the universe, like a mother's womb wrapping a baby, although it is compact but does not feel claustrophobic.

At this time, when you look down and look down, the earth is right at your feet, and it is difficult to tolerate the thrilling volume of the large volume that is difficult to contain with your vision, and staring at it all the time will make your legs weak, as if you have been falling down.

This is an experience that will never be experienced on Earth under any circumstances, and it is no wonder that human beings have an eternal yearning for space, if you can experience this feeling in person, you will understand: with huge manpower and material resources, spending billions of dollars, years of hard work, harsh selection and training, and the pressure of public opinion, all of them are worth it.

At least for Lin Ju, he has never felt that he has such a strong belief in space.

Deep in the boundless space, under his feet is the blue planet, surrounded by an endless sea of stars, through the realization of the Milky Way that stretches for tens of thousands of light years, the human society on the earth is rapidly moving away from him, and the whole person's heart seems to have entered a high latitude.

The starry sky, no matter which timeline, should be the most extreme and noble pursuit of human beings.

Whatever the purpose of the system was, and whatever it did to perform miraculous events, it should not affect his belief in exploring the universe.

"Lin Ju, Lin Ju?"

Li Wei finally woke up the boss who was distracted by the window, and then floated over to help him fasten his seat belt, and said with a smile:

"Space is something to be missed, we still have ten minutes to get out of the station, and we have more than an hour to slow down before returning to the atmosphere, and we can see for a long time.

And you will have a lot of opportunities to come up in the future, at least once a year no problem. ”

Li Wei's words revealed a slight sadness, he is over 50 years old, this time God is an explanation, not only to fulfill his dream, but also to complete the above task.

I have ridden a spaceship, driven a space shuttle, entered a space station, and left a capsule, and I have no regrets in life.

He is no longer suitable for scientific research tasks, and the opportunity to go to heaven is still precious, and the opportunity should still be left to young people, to team members who have not yet gone to heaven, and to experts who can play a more valuable role.

He had never told anyone about these thoughts, but the people around him knew it, and Lin Ju also knew it, and while admiring it, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness.

Astronauts who have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to train should not retreat into the background after completing a few missions.

"Captain Li, the first batch of candidates for the Dawning Project to land on the moon should come out, right?"

Li Wei was stunned, he didn't know why Lin Ju suddenly asked this, but he still nodded:

"A total of 6 people in the official crew and the backup crew have been selected, but I can't say who it is, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be no change."

Lin Ju: "I'm not trying to ask who it is, I'm trying to say that if you're not in there, I'd like to invite you to be the commander of the first crew of the Xinyuan manned lunar mission."

The people of Xinyuan Company are relatively young, and they need experienced and calm and experienced people on the moon to press the formation, I think you are very suitable. ”
