How could Wu Hao and the others not pay attention to such a major event as Jianmu-7's vertical transfer? The morning hadn't even started yet, so Zhang Jun and the others ran to Wu Hao's office to wait.
Through the private network, they can directly access the command and control system of the entire Nanhai Space Launch Site. Therefore, they can clearly see the entire transfer process in the office.
Looking at the Jianmu-7 rocket on the screen during vertical transfer, Zhang Jun couldn't help but admired: "It's so beautiful. Compared with the previous Jianmu-1, Jianmu-2, and the improved and upgraded Jianmu-5 from the 2, they are all so beautiful."
Not as beautiful as this Jianmu No. 7."
You are a typical person who likes the new and dislikes the old, just like many military fans. At first, you were obsessed with 052D, then you started to be obsessed with 055, and then 002. It didn’t take long before you changed your mind and followed 075 again. But you haven’t liked 075 for a long time.
At that time, your lover was attracted by 003. Wu Hao smiled at this guy and started joking.
Haha, this shows that our launch vehicle family is as prosperous as our navy. Let’s make dumplings. Zhang Jun waved his hands and said excitedly.
Zou Xiaodong, who was next to him, nodded and said: "I have a point, this Jianmu-7 is indeed much more beautiful than the previous rockets. On the one hand, it is due to its very reasonable body structure, and on the other hand, it is the simplicity of our new design.
The painting is really beautiful.”
This is true. Everyone nodded in approval. Compared with the previous rockets, the body proportions of this Jianmu-7 are indeed more beautiful, and the painting has also been newly designed, which is indeed good.
Whether it looks good or not is secondary, the important thing is performance. Yang Fan said with a smile: "The low-Earth orbit of this Jianmu-7 can reach about 18 tons, and the Earth-moon transfer orbit can also reach about seven tons. That's it."
The performance parameters of this rocket can be said to have crushed many opponents and ranked at the forefront of the world's launch vehicle family.
Apart from performance, there is also its low launch cost. I heard from Zhou Xiangming and others that they are confident that the launch cost per kilogram of this rocket to low-Earth orbit can be reduced to less than US$5,000."
Five thousand US dollars, will you lose money at this price? Zou Xiaodong frowned slightly.
Yang Fan shook his head: "This is just the launch cost. The specific launch price must be higher than this."
Wu Hao, who knew the inside story, smiled and explained: "Actually, if everything goes well, the launch cost can be further compressed and controlled to about 3,000 US dollars. Of course, this premise is its safe launch times and recovery and reuse.
The number of times reaches a certain scale. If the number does not increase, the amortized cost will definitely be very high."
Hearing Wu Hao say this, Zhang Jun also put away his smile and said seriously: "The current domestic commercial rocket launch missions have actually become saturated. In addition to us, there are several private launch vehicle companies, and they are actually also
Compete with us for orders. In addition to private launch vehicle companies, aerospace companies are also strengthening their competition for and control of task orders.
So in addition to some of our own launch missions, I think we should focus more on the international. Among our rocket launch missions last year, there were three or four international launch missions, and the benefits we achieved are also very objective.
of.
Therefore, I suggest that we should invest more resources into the development of overseas commercial rocket and satellite markets."
Regarding Zhang Jun's suggestion, Yang Fan shook his head and said: "Rocket and satellite projects are no more strictly controlled by relevant departments than other commercial projects. Let alone overseas, our domestic launch missions are not subject to strict approval. And this technology is also
It has always been a technical aspect controlled by the state.
Moreover, there are many issues involved, and we cannot just cooperate with customers based on our own preferences. When it comes to selecting partners, we must also be consistent with the country's footsteps.
In addition, not all countries need satellites and spacecraft. For them, instead of pursuing illusory things, it is better to get something affordable.
Therefore, I am not optimistic about overseas expansion plans. I think that on the one hand, we should continue to strengthen our own strength and rely on the advantages of high reliability, safety, and low cost to compete for orders. On the other hand, the launch vehicle project has never been
The focus of our profit. In other words, we don’t expect this project to be profitable at all. Instead of just looking at the three melons and two dates in front of us, it is better to look further. There are countless treasures in the vast universe."
No matter how many treasures there are, they are not mine, and I can't even get them. Zhang Jun replied, then looked at a few people and sighed: "You guys, you shouldn't say that you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The company's revenue is good, but
There are really too many places to spend money. If you count these projects in detail, they are not gold-eating beasts. Moreover, these gold-eating beasts cannot create profits in a short period of time. Even so, you have to continue to raise them.
So now I don’t mind having more money, the more the better. Then when you ask me for scientific research funding in the future, I won’t be so picky. I really want to be generous, but my strength doesn’t allow it.”
As for Yang Fan, it was obvious that he didn't take Zhang Jun's complaints seriously. He smiled and said directly: "We are all our brothers. There is no need for you to pretend to be pitiful in front of us. The company's revenue situation is not ours."
I don’t know where to put so much money, it’s not allowed to be spent.
Compared to money, we are working on a great project. This project is far more important than money, and it is far more valuable than money. If we do it well, we will definitely leave our names in history in the future."
Leave a name in history?
Zhang Jun curled his lips: "I don't care about it. Besides, it was hundreds of years later. Now I just love money. The more the better."
Ha ha ha ha……
Seeing Zhang Jun's philistine greed for money, Wu Hao and the others laughed heartily.
Wu Hao did not let them continue arguing and joking, but asked with a smile: "Is there anyone willing to go with me for this South China Sea launch?"
Hearing what he said, several other people looked over. Zhang Jun even said to him: "I'm going. I haven't been to the South China Sea for a long time. This time we are treating it as a trip."
I want to go too. Yang Fan and Zou Xiaodong said in unison.
Yes. Wu Hao shook his head: "Yes, let's go together. This is a rare opportunity."
Can you bring your family members? Yang Fan asked at this time.
Wu Hao and the others looked at Yang Fan after hearing this, but Yang Fan immediately shrank his neck after feeling their gazes: "I, I just want to ask, is this opportunity rare?"
You, after all, are the CTO of such a big company, how come you are treated so submissively by a woman that you even have no idea of resistance? Zhang Jun looked at Yang Fan and joked helplessly.
Haha. Yang Fan smiled and said, "I can't help it. Who told me to love her? I've fallen into her hands in this life."
Okay, bring along all the family members you want to bring. Anyway, it’s a matter of adding a few more people. Wu Hao waved his hand and said.
