Chapter 215: Long March 10 Transshipment
A total of 97 problems in materials and technology were solved in only 96 hours by a luxurious lineup of research teams composed of all A-level, B+ and B-level research groups.
Of course, the price is a huge "consulting fee" of 10.2 billion yuan.
In fact, Lin Ju is not a loss, if these 43 experts do not terminate the external contract, even if the research direction has little to do with aerospace, it can bring a little increase in the speed of scientific research.
But when the bill of 10.2 billion yuan was sent, the superiors were still very surprised, but they immediately asked the expert group how much the problem had been solved.
As a result, the expert group came up with a list of technical and material difficulties, and each of the above items was checked.
The company responsible for supplying chemical raw materials verified the formula and process overnight, and was the first category to complete the technical verification, indicating that the telephone calls of the "overseas Chinese" were effective, and the chemical they synthesized was the only one that the island country Shin-Etsu Chemical could produce, and it has been in a state of high blockade.
When I asked the experts who were in charge of answering the phone, these experts who had already worked at the System Research Institute said that the people on the other end of the phone were very professional, their English was very standard, and some of them could hear a little accent, and then they didn't know anything.
Because it uses the Jingwei satellite network, Xinyuan does not provide specific positioning on the grounds of confidentiality and personal safety, and it is impossible to find out who it is.
Since the performance and answers of the 43 experts in the face of inquiries were quite consistent and flawless, in the end, it can only be judged that there may be a cutting-edge talent exchange organization similar to the "Freemasonry" in the world, they come from all walks of life, have strong technical strength, are secretive, and do things in a low-key manner, and there is a probability that the results of secret research will be put on the paper through a single contact with a certain person (especially a factory director), which is more patriotic, but at the same time pursues personal interests.
Considering Xinyuan's ridiculously powerful technology source and the legendary rich experience database, it shows that the members of this mysterious organization are all over the world, and they are terrifying.
It should even be inherited, so it is very restrictive, so that it can strictly keep secrets and not reveal a little news to the outside world.
The reason for supporting Lin Ju is probably because with the help of Xinyuan's independently operated satellite network, he can communicate freely and block malicious snooping with the ternary......
Unknowingly, a mysterious and powerful organization appears in the official depiction of the Investigation Bureau, which shocks the superiors and at the same time has to believe that it is there and wants to maintain a good relationship.
Therefore, for the bill of 10.2 billion yuan, it is also a special direct payment.
The payment method is that the four major banks jointly loan 15 billion yuan to Xinyuan Aerospace Power, without interest, and will be repaid in installments of 50 years after 20 years.
Don't doubt it, it's just a free gift, don't be too obvious in favoritism, maybe you will just find a reason to cancel it when you can.
And 15 billion yuan is not expensive, and it doesn't take five or six years to make a technological breakthrough by yourself, and the money spent is definitely more than this figure.
It's just that Lin Ju's identity is more important in the eyes of his superiors, he is young, he can maintain with the mysterious organization, and provide a lot of advanced technology that has not appeared in the world, the purpose is not clear for the time being, but it seems to be friendly at present.
At least maintain the relationship, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
……
July 30th.
At the Jingu rocket manufacturing base, seven road transfer trailers drove out of the base in a row, carrying large boxes painted in red and white to the port of Jingu.
The seven extra-long containers will be shipped to Qiongzhou by sea because its width has exceeded the railway transportation limit.
This rocket is the Long March 10, the core of the Dawning program, which will be used to carry out manned missions to the moon.
After 10 months of continuous struggle, the space agency used unimaginable resources and support in the past to build a giant rocket with a take-off weight of more than 3,600 tons and a thrust of 5,100 tons.
What is the rocket that the space agency is in service now? It is the Long March-3B and Chang-2F, and after continuous improvement, the low-earth orbit carrying capacity of these two types of rockets has approached 14 tons.
Then the Long March 10's low-Earth orbit capacity is 120 tons, more than eightfold that number.
On another world front, on November 3 this year, the Long March 5 rocket completed its first flight.
The Long March 10, which was approved six years later than the Long March 5, will make its maiden flight nearly three months ahead of the Long March 5.
The burning funds were not in vain, the crazy overtime of the Jingu rocket manufacturing base was not in vain, there were many test procedures, and the process that should have gone through was not in vain, but the Long March 10 was still delivered as scheduled, and it will make its first flight at the Qiongzhou Space Launch Center from August 12 to 15.
Perhaps because there are already two giants that do not talk about martial arts, Xinyuan No. 2A and Xinyuan No. 3, have taken the lead, and the transfer process of the Long March 10 is relatively high-profile and has not been hidden in the slightest.
At present, the world's first rocket is Xinyuan-3, the second is Xinyuan-2A, the third is the Long March 10, which has not yet made its first flight, and the fourth is the Heavy Falcon.
Even if the SLS rocket makes its first flight in December, the block 1 version can only be relegated to fourth place with a 70-ton LEO.
If you abandon Xinyuan, the open player, the space agency's Long March 10 will be the first to fight iron.
Even if the SLS has a block 2 modification that can reach a capacity of more than 130 tons, if the Long March 10 replaces the four YF77s in the second stage with the 220-ton YF90 high-pressure refueling hydrogen-oxygen engine envisaged in the future, and the specific impulse reaches 443 seconds, then the low-earth orbit capacity will be 150 tons instead of 120 tons.
In any case, the advantage of the liquid rocket engine is there, the overall load coefficient is indeed high, even with the conservative overall design of the space agency, it is still the first in the world except for Xinyuan.
When the CCTV news on August 1 broadcast the footage of celebrating the festival outside, it was followed by seven large containers that had been loaded on the ship, and the longest five containers were 50 meters long, and the reporter standing on the ship appeared extremely small in front of them.
On the outside of the box, in addition to the CASA logo, there is a simplified icon of the Shenzhou spacecraft and a line of small blue letters: Huaguo Manned Spaceflight.
The journalist announced in a proud tone:
"The target rocket of the first phase of the Dawning Plan, independently developed by China, has a low-earth orbit capacity of 120 tons, surpassing the giant rocket of the Saturn V rocket that landed on the moon in the last century, and the Long March 10 was officially shipped out of the Jingu rocket manufacturing base and loaded into a ship ready to be transported to Qiongzhou.
It took only 10 months from the establishment of the Long March 10 carrier rocket to the factory, and a total of more than 20,000 people participated in the manufacture of this rocket, breaking through hundreds of key technologies. ”
In the end, the reporter thought that it was a live broadcast, but he couldn't help but add an unplanned line:
"The Long March 10 launch vehicle is expected to make its maiden flight in mid-August, while Aramco's giant rocket to land on the moon may not make its maiden flight four months late."
