Chapter 1579 The most important thing is team strength

Cang Hao was quite surprised: "So amazing?"

"It's so amazing." The Meh nodded vigorously: "Everyone knows that launching rockets and flying planes are not the same thing. Due to the different working principles, aircraft can be reused, and there will be many problems with rockets. Back then, the people of M wanted to save space launch costs, so they set up space shuttles because space shuttles can be reused, of course they can save costs. As a result, this plan cannot be said to be a failure, but it is obviously not a success. The single cost of space shuttle launch reached 1.5 billion US dollars, which has already exploded other space plans. At about the same era of the space shuttle, Country M set up a Voyager plan, launching two probes from the earth to the edge of the solar system for exploration, and then flying into the central region of the Milky Way. Such an ambitious plan only cost 350 million US dollars. Why is the space shuttle so expensive? First of all, the system is very complicated to deal with the launch and recycling of space shuttles.

You can also think of a spacecraft that needs to be recycled, with a much more control system than an ordinary spacecraft. There is an unbreakable law in the aerospace field, that is, the simplest and most efficient one. The space shuttle is too complicated, so the efficiency is low. Secondly, after each space shuttle is used, it requires a lot of maintenance. The coating and thermal insulation tiles on the surface of the space shuttle are extremely expensive and must be replaced after each recycling.

The maintenance of the engine is even more expensive, no more cost-effective than replacing a new one... Because of this, the cost-effectiveness of the space shuttle is not high, so Country M later gave up. The former Soviet Union actually also built the space shuttle and the Blizzard, and had successfully conducted unmanned launch and recycling experiments, but because it was really unsustainable in terms of financial resources, it also gave up in the end. Of course, the technology of the space shuttle is quite advanced and is not something that other countries can overcome it yet."

"So how much does Falcon Nine mean?"

"Falcon Nine is not as cost-effective as advertised, but it is really cheap. It is said that SpaceX's cost of developing the Falcon Rocket is only 300 million US dollars, which is already a great exponential power. Moreover, this kind of rocket is a very good test platform, such as the complex control of ultra-high-speed aircraft, which can verify many new technologies. The recovery level of Falcon Nine has reached ten meters. You should know that when the rocket returns to the atmosphere, its speed can reach Mach 5, which is five times the speed of sound. A aircraft with such a high speed will gradually reduce its speed and then land smoothly, with the error not exceeding ten meters. This control technology is quite awesome. Now Musk is still in the exploration stage. After the technology matures in the future, it may be even more amazing, and it can really save 99% of the cost, such as

If there is really a cheap rocket, maybe you want to make a plane when you go to space. You can go if you buy a ticket." The Mo Master has done a lot of preparation and has a good understanding of this field before calling Cang Hao: "The current problem of Falcon Nine is actually similar to that of the space shuttle, that is, the replacement of surface coatings and heat-proof tiles, as well as the replacement of engines. September League has redesigned a rocket engine, which is like what I just said, saves complex and expensive maintenance, and refilling fuel can ignite and take off again. Of course, after using it a few times, it still needs to be repaired and maintained. You should know that even ordinary family cars need to be maintained after driving for a long distance. Unfortunately, September League should have no money, so this design can only be stuck on the drawings..."

Mo Shi has been using SpaceX as an example to tell things. This company has now become famous. Everyone knows the Falcon Rockets, and I don’t know how many people want to invest in this company.

But as long as you have a little understanding of this field, you can know that the company was in operation for a while, and Musk was almost in desperate situation. It should be said that Musk's pregnancy period was still very good. He always received help at the last moment, successfully operating the company, and achieved today's success.

Musk is a very background. The military and the General Aeronautics and Space Administration of China have given a lot of support, but even so Musk has encountered such great difficulties, which shows the difficulty of developing the aerospace industry.

The conditions of the September Alliance are far less than those of Musk. Insufficient funds are actually just one side. On the other hand, Japan is not a space power itself, and the development of launch vehicles is very slow. It has not been achieved until recent years. Musk can use war to support the war, and the profits obtained through early launches will support the next step of research. It is very likely that the September Alliance is preparing to follow this model and make Japan a space power, but the clinker is overturned by Cang Hao.

"If the September Alliance technology is implemented, we can implement it without any reason because we can be at the forefront of the world." Cang Hao certainly knows what this technology means: "We must start implementing it right away!"

"That's what I think." The Mo Master said hurriedly: "But we can't do this thing ourselves. We must cooperate with others. Kakoriya is the best choice. Kakoriya is currently developing aerospace industry and is building a space launch site. It has enough talent and technical reserves, so we are preparing to go to Kakoriya. Of course, you need to coordinate this for me. Where can I order Kakoriya? How can they cooperate with them? You need to come forward."

"no problem."

"Also, if we really want to put this plan into practice, it will be like flowing water before this..." Shaking his head, Mo Shi continued: "The technology of the September League is just a drawing. Such a complex thing cannot be made according to the drawing, and then it can be taken out for use. It is necessary to manufacture various components and conduct continuous testing, especially the engine, and it requires repeated static ignition tests. You must know that the September League has not conducted too many tests, so some data and installation in the technical data are likely to have problems. When we find any problems, we need to make timely adjustments. All problems can be corrected before we can finally shape them, integrate all subsystems, and create our own recyclable rockets."

Cang Hao nodded: "You are solely responsible for these."

"The cost of this project may exceed all our projects so far, whether it is orbital plasma cannons or Bose-Einstein condensed matter robots, has not been burning money for this project."

“Will it burn more money than matrix systems?”

"It's hard to say..." Mo Shi shook his head: "The cost of the matrix system is really not as good as that of this kind of recyclable rocket. The problem is that the matrix system is constantly being built and expanded, and this investment is uninterrupted for a long time. As long as the recyclable rocket is researched, there will be no major investment in the future. Moreover, through commercial launch, we can still make a lot of profits."

"Isn't that all?" Cang Hao said naturally: "Since I can maintain the matrix system, it's not a problem to raise a few rockets."

"You really have the determination?"

"Of course." Cang Hao said without hesitation: "As long as I can obtain the best technology in the world, I can invest all my money. If it is not enough, I would rather sell the money than make it."

"Well said." Mo Shi was quite excited: "If you want to obtain the world's top technology, you must have the determination and courage to launch two bombs and one satellite in China, otherwise you will always be able to follow others."

"You can arrange to set off right away." After pausing, Cang Hao reminded: "By the way, let Ouyang Yu take away a few people from Mo'an Town and be your bodyguard. You are the precious wealth of the Blood Lion mercenaries. If you encounter any accidents along the way, this loss is incalculable for the Blood Lion mercenaries."

"It makes you worry." The Mo Master smiled relaxedly: "What I care most about is not the safety issue, but the Kakoriya side. As long as Kakoriya cooperates with us, this plan will be half successful."

"Absolutely no problem." Cang Hao promised: "What does Kakoriya have to do with us? You don't know or not. There is nothing we can't do in Kakoriya's land."

After Cang Hao put down the phone number of Shishi Mo, he immediately called Amelia and arranged for the two parties to connect and cooperate with development.

Amelia has received a very good higher education and has been involved in all areas of knowledge. She naturally understands the value of developing this kind of rocket.

We mentioned a long time ago that Kakoriya has started to build a satellite launch site. For Kakoriya, the politics of this satellite launch site is actually

The significance of governance is far greater than that of economic significance.

Kakoriya has undertaken an international satellite launch contract. In fact, its commercial advantages are not particularly great. What is particularly important is that Kakoriya itself is a high-latitude region, and the launch cost of high-latitude regions is higher than that of low-latitude regions.

The lower the latitude, the faster the Earth rotates, and the faster it drives the rocket. Moreover, the flight distance launched from low latitude is shorter, which can save a lot of fuel. This is why China already has the Xichang and Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and another satellite launch center will be built in Wenchang, Hainan.

Amelia promoted the construction of a rocket launch site mainly to make a gesture and was willing to cooperate with the Blood Lion Mercenary for a long time, so she said that the political significance is the greatest. It is precisely because the commercial value has not been highlighted that there are many opposition voices within Kakoriya. The cooperation with the Blood Lion Mercenary has not made Kakoriya profit too much so far, let alone the investment in building a rocket launch site is too large.

But if this technology can be implemented, then the situation will be completely different. Kakoriya will have the cheapest space launch in the world and can undertake a large number of commercial launch contracts from the international community. However, I don’t know how much income it can generate for Kakoriya every year.
