Chapter 139, Space Exploration Corporation

When Li Fu returned to his hometown in Meijiang County, it was already November of 19, and 11 was about to pass in a blink of an eye. It can be said that he has been busy for a whole year at the National Space Administration.

In the past few months, I have been carefully deliberating and demonstrating the details of the manned moon landing. After the manned moon landing was successfully completed in October, I still stayed here in the space center for more than a month. There are space planes going back and forth between the earth and the moon for a week, and top scientists such as Li Fu and Liu Shiying can relax only after they are quite familiar with all aspects and the lunar base has become small and large.

Longling Town, a town around Sanjiang Town, Longling Town's terrain is relatively flat, and Fuyun Space Exploration Company is located in Longling Town.

Fuyun Space Exploration Co., Ltd. covers a very large area, and more than half of the land in Longling Town has been included in it. After 19 years and nearly a year, more than a dozen large construction companies and nearly 1 construction workers have been rushing to work day and night. , At this time, the space exploration company is already quite magnificent.

A very large airport, covering an area of ​​5 square kilometers, this is the place planned by the company for going to and from space in the future, and experimenting with the aerospace aircraft produced by the company. At the same time, it also has a ground command center and a control center. And equipment, etc. are completely based on Jiuquan Aerospace Satellite.

A huge training and living area for astronauts. This area was established by Fuyun Group to train its own astronauts. There are various equipment and instruments for training astronauts, as well as the living area for astronauts and their families.

The company is very clear that this astronaut is a treasure for any country, and it is absolutely impossible for our company to poach corners, so we must train it ourselves, otherwise, we will only have advanced equipment in the future and no personnel. Driving is also not allowed, and the company's plan is to set up a special astronaut training school in the future, and open enrollment for training.

There is also a huge industrial park. The industrial park is naturally owned by Fuyun Group's own aerospace vehicle production company. It is close to the airport, and the aerospace planes and spacecraft produced in the future can also be tested and taken off nearby.

In the huge park, at this time, Fang Zheng, Chen Bin, and Yu Liang were driving the car while accompanying Li Fu to inspect the area. In the entire 19 years, Li Fu was almost not on the company's side, and everything was done. Fangzheng and others are in charge, as is Longling's space center.

The total investment in the Longling Town Space Center exceeds 3000 billion US dollars, which can be said to be the largest investment of the Fuyun Group besides the research institute in Yuantou Town. It can almost be said that more than half of this year's virtual machine sales profits have been invested.

"The construction is not bad, how are the preparations in other aspects?"

It took more than 2 hours for the car to walk around the space center. Li Fu nodded in satisfaction. Although the investment is huge, it has to be invested. Li Fu wants to be in space in the future. In order to make a difference, a space center of its own is absolutely indispensable.

"In terms of personnel recruitment, we have already started. Since the second half of this year, we have recruited tens of thousands of fresh graduates from major colleges and universities across the country, and are currently training them. Many of them are quite good. In addition, we have also Recruit more than 200 people from the retired pilots of the Air Force, and prepare to train them into astronauts.”

"It's just that there are still some problems in the aerospace aircraft researched by our company, which we haven't solved yet."

Chen Bin, a young man who has only graduated for two years, is now the head of the Fuyun Group's Space Exploration Company, and he reports the situation of the Space Exploration Company to Li Fu in detail.

He, Yu Liang, Yang Yiping, and Cao Haitao have all participated in the research of the "Shenjian" aerospace aircraft, and have also made major and outstanding contributions, and won the title of academician of Huaxia, but the four of them really led a team to conduct independent research When it comes to spaceflight, it encounters many problems.

After almost a whole year, they still hadn't been able to take out the Fuyun Group's own aerospace plane. At this time, they seemed a little ashamed and didn't dare to look directly at Li Fu.

"The aerospace aircraft is a very large system work. Let alone our small company, many countries may not be able to develop their own aircraft, let alone the aerospace aircraft."

"Although we need funds and funds, and we have thoroughly understood the core plasma technology, we still have a little understanding of many other aspects. It is normal that we have not come out yet. Now I am back. Get up and discuss, there are always more ways than problems.”

Li Fu seemed to have been prepared for this long ago, and he didn't mean to blame him at all. He participated in the research of the national aerospace plane, but Li Fu knew very well how huge the aerospace plane was.

This is definitely something that can only be researched by gathering the strength of a country, involving power, physics, mathematics, electronics, materials, and chemistry.Machinery and other huge projects that are almost all the natural science content of human beings. Although our company is now strong and powerful, it is really not so easy to manufacture such a huge project of aerospace aircraft.

"If you were there, Brother Fu, we would definitely be able to come up with our own aerospace plane this year. In fact, it is not difficult to research our own aerospace plane. The difficulty is how to mass-produce it and reduce the cost."

When Yu Liang heard that Li Fu was going to join the project team, his eyes immediately lit up. He knew how powerful Li Fu was, and there were almost no problems that Li Fu couldn't solve. Many of the major problems encountered were almost all solved under the leadership of Li Fu.

Without Li Fu, Huaxia would never even think about owning its own aerospace plane, let alone realize the current manned landing on the moon and establish a permanent base on the moon.

"Yu Liang is right. In fact, if we just follow the calabash, we can manufacture an aerospace plane now, but the cost will not be much cheaper than the national-made aerospace plane. At least it will cost more than 30 billion yuan. Chinese coins are used to make an aerospace plane, and this is because we can obtain black gold materials at cost prices."

"We are still too good at material processing and processing accuracy. We consume a lot of materials, and the scrap rate is too high. This cost has not been reduced. Even if the black gold material is produced by ourselves, it can be obtained at cost price. We The cost is still very high.”

Chen Bin also nodded. Good materials are one aspect, and processing is also very important. The accuracy of processing is a very important thing. Not to mention Fuyun Group, the entire Huaxia is here. It is also a shortcoming.

Although Fuyun Group uses imported advanced processing equipment, although these processing equipment are purchased at a huge cost, they can only be regarded as second-rate, first-class advanced equipment, and no country will sell them to the outside world. Yes, besides, for many things, even if you are given equipment, you may not be able to achieve the same processing accuracy.

"There are more than 30 billion yuan. This black gold material is produced by our own material company. The scrap rate is too high."

When Li Fu heard this, he immediately frowned. Li Fu was very aware of the cost price of black gold materials. Although it was sold to the country in terms of grams, the manufacturing cost was actually very low, because the materials used were rare. There are very few metals, and they are all common things. The price sold to the country is hundreds of times the cost price.

The cost of black gold materials is low, but Chen Bin even said that if he manufactures the aerospace plane by himself, the cost will be more than 30 billion. It can be seen that in terms of material processing, the scrap rate of Fuyun Group is really terrible. Straight up the cost straight up.

"The scrap rate is very high. Sometimes we may not be able to obtain a qualified product after processing dozens of parts. Now this part is also a headache for us. Batches of materials are sent over, but our processing has always been unqualified. , We also spend a lot of money to find talents in this area, but there is still not much improvement.”

Yu Liang also nodded helplessly. Only when he really participated in the whole process will he know the difficulty of manufacturing an aircraft. Almost every detail has many problems.

"Especially in the processing of the blades, the surface processing involved in the blades is very complicated. The blades we processed by ourselves abruptly lowered the thrust of our plasma engine by several grades. Obviously, there are many of them. The problem is that there may be a little flaw on one blade, and when the overall assembly is completed, countless flaws will accumulate, and the power of our plasma engine will be greatly reduced."

Chen Bin sighed while shaking his head, saying that plasma engines can be manufactured, but the processing accuracy is too far behind, and the thrust of plasma engines is greatly reduced.

"Don't be afraid of problems, just be afraid that there will be no problems. We started from the beginning at that time. If we fail in any aspect, we will conquer that aspect. This time we are not just manufacturing aerospace aircraft, we will make all aspects related to aerospace I have fully understood the technology related to the sky plane, and it is just the beginning now, so it’s okay to encounter problems. If we are still at a loss because the processing accuracy of the materials is not up to standard, it will be really terrible.”

While listening, Li Fu continued to meditate in his mind, and after a long time, he spoke slowly, obviously making up his mind.
