Chapter 407: Thoughts of CAAC
The full name of the old Yang that Zhang Kejian said is Yang Changfeng. This person may be unfamiliar to everyone. After all, scientists are very low-key and work hard day and night to stay in the laboratory to focus on research.
Although ordinary people don’t know much about him, he is a great figure in the aerospace field and is currently one of the leading figures in China Aerospace. Ordinary people don’t know him but they are absolutely impossible not to know the Beidou navigation system.
Now everyone has a mobile phone, and it is equipped with a Beidou navigation system. Including Huasheng mobile phones, it also uses the Beidou navigation system. Mr. Yang Changfeng is the chief designer of the Beidou navigation system and is a great-level scientist.
"Big thing, Director Zhang, Huasheng Group, has just announced its entry into the aerospace field and announced that it has invested 700 billion yuan." Yang Changfeng said excitedly, even quite excited.
"Here..." Zhang Kejian signaled him to look at his computer. Yang Changfeng was stunned when he saw it. It was news about Huasheng Technology's entry into the aerospace field. He suddenly realized, "It turns out that Director Zhang, you know it too."
"How can I not know that such a big thing happened..." Zhang Director said with a laugh. At this time, the computer on his desk was playing the promotional video of Huasheng Technology. Seeing this, Zhang Director couldn't help but feel very moved: "The work of Huasheng Group... You see this advertising film. It is said that it was a film made by a master-level international director, and a world-class symphony orchestra composed and turned to the soundtrack. I also spent a lot of money on this advertising film, but it turned into an epic art film... You can't spend it so much money even if you have money. I can't see it... I have no temper, really no temper."
Yang Changfeng shook his head and laughed for a while, and said with emotion: "700 billion... It's great to have money. The total funding allocation of our country in one year is about one-tenth of that of others. Although we are engaged in scientific research, it is really annoying to compare people."
The country allocates less than 80 billion yuan every year, and it has to be allocated to various projects. Satellites alone have multiple modules, as well as launch vehicles, cargo compartments, etc. If they are divided, they actually don’t have much money. The aerospace field is a major scientific research field that costs money.
"Director Zhang, I'm here today just to say something." Yang Changfeng said again, and Zhang Kejian nodded and signaled to him.
After a while, Yang Changfeng said seriously: "Have your superiors considered higher cooperation with Huasheng Group in the aerospace field?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kejian looked at the other party curiously and said, "That's how do you think?"
Yang Changfeng nodded decisively and said, "Huasheng Group is a real mainland technology company. Although it is a private technology giant, it is very special. The scientific research projects it participates in are all cutting-edge fields. National Defense and Military Research Projects, including the aviation field, are involved, and it is not a shortage to our aerospace field."
Director Zhang pondered: "What kind of cooperation method?"
Yang Changfeng obviously made preparations and said: "This is very clear. Aviation Administration has solid technology and talents. What we lack is funding, hundreds of billions a year. After finally sharing a little money, everyone is annoyed, because the aerospace field is too expensive, just a cake, so big, and it will be gone if it is divided. Huasheng Group is rich and the God of Wealth, but they lack technology and talents, and they are not really in real time. Isn't the cooperation between Aviation Administration and Huasheng Group a perfect match for each other's advantages?"
Zhang Kejian was really moved. If he could obtain strong financial support from Huasheng Technology and the two sides united strongly, the Republic's aerospace industry would inevitably be a gratifying situation of full bloom, and he would definitely catch up with the United States and become the first echelon among the world's aerospace powers faster. It would not be a fantasy even if he caught up with the United States in the near future.
There is no doubt that there are two countries with the first echelon in the current aerospace field, namely the United States and Russia.
China is in the second tier, but it is also the "leader" of the second tier. EuroSpace and other countries are also in the second tier sequence, but they are obviously not as good as Chinese.
It is certainly undeniable that China's aerospace industry has achieved remarkable achievements in recent years, but the gap with the United States and Russia in this field must be clearly recognized, because China is taking the path that the United States and Russia have taken in the last century, and this gap is very significant.
Let’s talk about the carrying capacity of the rocket. The Russians were able to build a launch vehicle with a thrust of more than 3,000 tons in the former Soviet era, and the American launch vehicle Saturn 5, which landed on the moon, was also of this order.
Even today, China's latest Long March series launch vehicle has a maximum take-off thrust of only more than 1,000 tons, which shows the gap.
Even though the United States and Russia have been almost on the ground for half a century in the space field, it still makes it difficult for others to see. After all, the two sides left too many "legacy" in the space hegemony in the Cold War era.
Although China can beat the ESA and notebooks now, it has also been beaten by the United States and Russia. The Americans will not say that it is the most mature country in aerospace commercialization. Typically, it is Elon Musk and his SpaceX company. Although Russia has no money to develop new technologies, it can still be far behind China by relying on the capital of the former Soviet Union. The big hair is the "second generation". Rabbit not only started late but also started from scratch, which is incomparable.
China has developed so fast in recent years and achieved remarkable achievements based on its latecomer advantage. Every time the news reports say that in the aerospace field, China has become the third country to complete in a key technology field after the United States and Russia.
It is indeed worth pride, but there is absolutely no reason to be proud.
Because the United States and Russia have completed these technologies as early as the last century.
Only Yang Changfeng and Zhang Kejian know that they can beat Europeans and notebooks, but they have to chase each other desperately in the face of the two front runners. They are chasing rather than surpassing. Now it is far from the time to surpass, and you are moving forward even if you chase others, but you are moving forward, although the other party is not moving forward quickly.
Now, the big funder of Huasheng Technology has spent 700 billion yuan as soon as he entered the market. Can scholars like Yang Changfeng not be excited? Of course, they are definitely not interested in the money itself, but rather that the money invested in the aerospace industry will bring explosive development to the country in this field.
Zhang Kejian thought for a moment and murmured: "This matter must be taken seriously and discussed in depth. Lao Yang, we will discuss it carefully tomorrow afternoon and discuss it. By the way, we will call Lao Zhou and Lao Zhu."
The Lao Zhou and Lao Zhu mentioned by Director Zhang are also leading figures in the national aerospace field. The Lao Zhou mentioned by him is Zhou Jiangping, which is the general design of the National Space Project. Lao Zhu's full name is Zhu Zongpeng, which is the general design of "Tiangong 2" and the first space station of the country.
A true master-level scientist.
It is worth mentioning that there is currently only one artificial space station operating in orbit, which is the first space station in the true sense of the Chinese, and it was also designed by Zhu Zongpeng, chief designer.
The International Space Station has long been retired, and the current space station in orbit is expected to last for 10 years. It has been seven or eight years and two or three years left. At that time, there may be no artificial space station in outer space.
Although the Americans also said they wanted to build a space station, they were shouting before the International Space Station retired. They still shouted. There was still a lot of expectations in the past, but now there was no one else to go around because the Americans themselves don’t want to pay money, but want to cheat others’ money. Who can do this?
Besides, there is no money now, and the Chinese have space stations here. Compared with other countries in the world, they can pay for one by themselves, so it is better to use it to "buy a ticket" from the Chinese. This is more cost-effective.
