I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Chapter 45 The mall is open

Qiongzhou, Space Launch Administration.

Opposite Guo Shen is the deputy director of the Administration Bureau and the person in charge of the launch site construction of the First Construction Bureau.

"Mr. Guo, I suggest that Xinyuan's launch site be built here. It can share the transfer channel with the country and reduce the cost by at least 20%."

Deputy Director Huang circled a piece of land on the map and briefly drew the transfer route of the rocket from the port. Guo Shen kept nodding.

Deputy Director Huang's purpose is not only to help Guo Shen reduce costs and construction time, but the most important thing is to reduce the difficulty of management, otherwise coordination will be troublesome.

"Wouldn't sharing the channel affect the transmission efficiency?"

"Don't worry about this. There is no problem with the transportation capacity arrangement. Rockets are not canned. How can one arrive every few days? The delay will not exceed 24 hours, and the launch window will not be missed."

"Okay." Guo Shen agreed, and then looked at the person in charge of the first bureau.

The manager of Bureau 1 is actually very happy now. Originally, with the completion of the launch site, most of the workers and machinery were loading and ready to be evacuated. Unexpectedly, another, no, two big orders changed hands.

Xinyuan requires the construction of a launch tower that can accommodate 10-meter-diameter rockets, four recovery stations, and a dual-runway landing site.

Aber's Mukara launch site has reduced one launch tower and some facilities.

The two orders together were enough for them to eat for a long time.

"The Xinyuan Space Launch Site will have no problem complying with your 10-month construction period requirement. Most of the machinery has not been removed yet, and operations can begin within half a month.

The cost of the entire launch site is expected to be 5 billion yuan. The Mukala launch site has not yet been inspected on site. Although there are fewer facilities, the cost is only higher but not lower. The total cost is about 6 billion yuan. "

11 billion yuan, converted to 1.5 billion US dollars, this price is no problem in Guo Shen's view. If it is NACA's style, this number will at least double.

"Yes, but I hope to build a transmission tower, a recycling station, and a runway within 6 months, and meet the usage requirements."

"This...should be no problem."

Manager Qin agreed, and the three parties immediately signed an agreement.

Yes, the three parties, because the launch site is integrated into the world measurement and control system built by China, and the measurement and control stations are all managed by the Launch Administration.

However, in addition to the Qiongzhou Launch Site, the Bingzhou Satellite Launch Center also ushered in cooperation with Xinyuan after reaching an agreement with the space agency.

The first Xinyuan-1C carrier rocket was transported by road and has arrived at the Bingzhou Satellite Launch Center, where it has completed final assembly and testing.

Bingzhou Satellite Launch Center is the main satellite launch base for domestic target SSO sun-synchronous orbit.

The Xinyuan-1C equipped with the cluster satellite is launched here and can enjoy better launch conditions and measurement and control range. It is also a test that is included in the national measurement and control system.

"3, 2, 1, fire."

Fiery orange flames erupted from the bottom of the diversion trough. Xinyuan-1C broke free from the comfort of gravity and rushed into space at extremely high acceleration.

Several business leaders who participated in the group fight looked up at the small white dot in the sky and felt very nervous.

After all, the most indispensable thing about aerospace is accidents.

Fortunately, just a few minutes later, several satellites successfully reached the sun-synchronous orbit and sent signals to the ground that they were working normally.

People outside breathed a sigh of relief, while the director of the control center was chatting with people in Xinyuan:

"Your Xinyuan-1C could just be renamed Long March-6. The rocket body and engine are exactly the same. The Eighth Institute is not as fast as you, and the first shot will not be until next year.

Oh, there is still a difference, you still have to recycle it. "

The first stage rocket of Xinyuan-1C is also made recyclable. Anyway, the first stage of this family is universal.

But it is not the one of Xinyuan-1B. That first-stage rocket has completed its fourth recovery. Now Xinyuan has very good recovery experience and is already preparing for recovery at sea.

The first stage of Xinyuan-1C is now close to the ground and landed perfectly at the Xinyuan landing site without any surprises.

When the Eighth Hospital learned the news, they were so angry that they worked overtime for three consecutive weekends.

Because the space agency has made an internal notification, it will open some national launch missions to private spaceflight.

Nowadays, isn’t Xinyuan the only private aerospace company? What? Two more have been registered recently, not counting that one.

There are two businesses in the Eighth Institute, one is missiles and the other is rockets. Missiles are the main business, and rockets are specifically aimed at commercial development. If Xinyuan jumps in to disrupt the situation, their competitive pressure will increase unprecedentedly.

The development of the Long March 6R has just begun. Although the rocket body does not need major modifications, the supporting legs and precise control are still a headache.

After much deliberation, He Ruang simply called the Sixth Hospital, saying that he was making rapid progress and was waiting for the engine. The successful transfer relieved a wave of pressure.

…

"Kacha, kacha..."

Witnessed by the flashing lights, Lin Ju signed a land purchase agreement with the municipal government.

5,000 acres of land, 3,000 acres of which are launch vehicle and spacecraft production areas, and the rest is a small launch site.

Xinyuan Town is too small. That launch base will no longer be needed. There is no need to transport small rockets around. Just fly from here.

There is also a runway directly accessible from the final assembly hangar for future space shuttle transfers, and the construction cost is not high.

The total investment is estimated to be 4 billion yuan, but there is no money to buy the land. The price is half sale and half free. The bank has repaid the entire loan and only needs to pay back the interest for the first five years.

Because the location of the rocket manufacturing plant is very remote, and the land price is not high at all, the city and the province hope to cultivate a large-scale aerospace enterprise to drive economic growth in various places through the industrial chain, and they will give it away as soon as they can.

Such a high-tech enterprise is like a treasure to the provinces located in the central and western regions. The policy has been given green light all the way to fully meet the requirements of the enterprise.

Of course, the province also has requirements. For example, it hopes that the launch center will be named the Panda Launch Center, and then promote tourism...

Lin Ju had no objection, just changing his name.

However, just when the ownership change of these 5,000 acres of land was officially completed and entered into the name of Xinyuan Aerospace Power Company, the system in my mind that had been silent for a long time suddenly popped up a prompt:

[It has been detected that a registered sub-base meets the B-level base area requirements. Do you want to change the order of the main and sub-bases?

If yes is selected, the system bound units will be changed. 】

Lin Ju was shocked and decided without much thought that the location of the original tractor factory was too small and it was just right to move it here.

[The main base has been updated and the system will be evaluated again...

Evaluation completed: The host has successfully become a world-class aerospace manufacturer through its own efforts. It has initially gained great influence and will open some items in the mall. I hope the host will continue to work hard.

Note: The unlocking range of the mall is proportional to the progress and influence of space exploration, and props can be purchased with funds]

Lin Ju:!

The mall is finally open! He can finally cheat on his own!

Open the system panel, and a series of items have appeared in the mall.
