The second edition of the International Air and Space Show, in November, was grandly opened in the South!

After the completion of the difficult and beautiful air show of the 4-plane diamond-shaped upward flowering and 6-plane wedge-shaped dive bucket of the air show team.

This time the aerospace expo has officially begun.

The Rocket Research Institute, as an important unit in the aerospace field, also participated in this expo.

The main exhibits are the Hongyan rocket and the Changsanyi rocket, which are currently the main forces of the Rocket Research Institute.

In fact, after the Hongyan rocket completed the recovery and development of the first-stage rocket, Changsanyi has lagged behind the Hongyan rocket in all aspects.

Whether in terms of carrying capacity or economic performance, the Changsanyi rocket is inferior to the Hongyan rocket.

However, because the Rocket Research Institute has not yet completed the research and development of small and medium-thrust rockets.

Therefore, in some cases where the load is not too large, it is more cost-effective to use the long three-B rocket than to use the first-hand Hongyan rocket.

If you use a second-hand Hongyan rocket, then Chang Sanyi has no advantage at all!

However, at this time, everyone's acceptance of second-hand rockets is not so high, so Changsanyi still has a certain market.

This time the aerospace expo was attended by a large number of foreign delegations, as well as many large enterprises in the aerospace field with a good international reputation.

It is not so easy for many domestic aircraft and rockets to be sold at the fair.

Of course, there are also some local tyrants, who don't care so much about money, and will selectively spend money to buy some more advanced weapons.

For example, the group of guys who are currently standing in front of Zhang Xingyang, wearing robes and white turbans.

These guys who control the OPEC organization and can trigger a local war with a slight movement of their bodies can no longer be described as rich.

After all, at the door of their house, they can spew out countless oil by digging casually!

"Boss, how do you sell this?" One of the handsome bearded men who took the lead asked with some curiosity as he looked at a wild goose rocket on the platform.

This Hongyan rocket is the only real rocket in the entire exposition, and the others are just models.

Because this rocket is so high, he is also one of the countless rockets that is not in the exhibition hall.

After all, it is difficult for the pavilion to allow this rocket, which is 70 meters tall to stand upright, and transport it upright.

Unless the expo authorities can accept Zhang Xingyang's proposal.

First cut a large hole in the top of the pavilion, and then let the Hongyan Rocket use its first stage rocket to push the entire rocket and fly in through the hole.

Although Zhang Xingyang repeatedly assured that he could ensure that the rocket would not deviate from the landing point, the competent authorities were still frightened after hearing this plan.

Overnight, a shed was built for the Rocket Research Institute to be outside, and they were asked to put the rocket outside.

"Eighty-five million first-hand rockets and forty-million second-hand rockets!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the bearded handsome guy who looked like a strong Arab style, and replied very briefly.

"Eighty-five million dollars?"

"That's a bargain!"

The bearded man looked at the performance parameter brand next to the rocket and said happily.

This price is actually quite cheap compared to the prices offered for other commercial space launches in the world today.

You must know that the LEO orbital carrying capacity of the Hongyan rocket has reached 26 tons.

That translates to less than $350 per kilogram of LEO payload!

Compared with other space rockets in the world, the price of tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram can be said to be only one percent of theirs!

So the exclamation of the bearded man is quite normal.

"But this doesn't include the cost of the launch service."

Seeing that the other party was so interested in Hongyan Rocket, Zhang Xingyang also had to explain the matter here clearly, so as not to misunderstand.

"If we adopt our packaged launch plan, the price of the first-hand rocket is 110 million US dollars."

"Can you explain a little bit about what is a package launch scheme?"

The bearded man on the opposite side was obviously very interested in the Hongyan rocket.

It is rare to meet a foreign customer who seems to be rich and interested in rockets, so Zhang Xingyang simply told the other party about it:

"The package launch plan means that as long as the satellites that need to be launched are in our hands, you don't have to worry about everything in the future, from transportation, loading, inspection, launch, to the satellite into orbit, we have done it for you."

"You just have to wait for the satellite to come into orbit."

"If there is any problem before the satellite is put into orbit, we have a special insurance fund to compensate for the loss of the satellite!"

Since the previous "226" rocket accident, a series of subsequent events have made China feel that it is necessary to have our own commercial space insurance fund.

Therefore, at present, domestic commercial space launch missions are guaranteed by domestic funds.

"Can't you undertake the development of satellites together?"

The bearded man was obviously not satisfied with this result.

Because this is so troublesome, they even need to make their own satellites.

"If you need to develop a satellite, I can help you contact our professional satellite development unit!"

Since the other party does not want to do it himself, then China can completely undertake the development of satellites.

"If you have any special needs, we can help you with that too."

"No, can I sign a contract now?"

The bearded man on the opposite side is obviously not bad at all, but after a little understanding, he is ready to place an order.

Such a large contract, of course, is impossible to be completely determined in a few words on the spot.

Still, the two sides signed a simple memorandum of understanding to record some of the parts that have now been determined.

The bearded handsome guy, obviously a very enthusiastic person, after signing the memorandum, almost leaned close to Zhang Xingyang.

Very cautiously and sneakily, he asked, "Dear Zhang! ”

"We're friends now!"

Although I don't know if the other party is so careful and wants to say something, but for the sake of the other party's handsome (very rich), he still nodded:

"Of course, my friend!"

"I've heard that if you pay a small amount of money, you can sell missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers, right?"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the bearded man with an expectant face, a little helpless.

As one of the countries that have participated in the Treaty on the Limitation of Ballistic Missile Proliferation, ballistic missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometres cannot be exported.

"This is not good, my friend!"

Zhang Xingyang said a little embarrassed, but his next sentence made the beard ignite a glimmer of hope.

"But we have a similar good thing, I wonder if you're interested?"
