Chapter 456 Strategic Goals and Strategic Deception
Academician Pan Deming did not officially participate in this grand event in the aerospace field.
He specially ran over from Peking University across the street just to say hello and chat with Xu Chuan. He made an appointment for a long chat and then left the venue.
After the old academician left, Xu Chuan also found his seat and sat down.
There is no doubt that his position is in the front row.
Taking the seat was Qin Anguo, a leader in science and technology, and on his right was Chen Xinhai, dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University.
The School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University is actually quite famous if you trace its history. It was established before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
During that period of hard work, the Department of Aviation, formerly known as the Department of Aviation, cultivated a large number of outstanding talents and made important contributions to the establishment of the aviation discipline and the development of aviation technology in China.
Then, in the late 1950s, in order to develop high-tech national defense projects represented by the Two-Star Project, more than half of the talents came from the Aerospace Department of Shuimu University.
However, the aviation department, which was strong at the time, was later split up to form Beihang University, which became one of the important origins of Beihang University.
As for its current strength, although it is not weak, it is not among the top among domestic aerospace schools or institutions.
There are many more powerful ones, such as Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, National University of Defense Technology, etc.
Being able to host this grand exchange meeting in the aerospace field today as the organizer is undoubtedly an inspiring voice of revival for the School of Aerospace and Aeronautics of Shuimu University.
After sitting in their seats and resting for a while, Qin Anguo, the leader of science and technology, and Chen Xinhai, dean of Shuimu University, walked over side by side.
When they saw Xu Chuan who was resting in his seat, the two people chatting were stunned for a moment, then quickened their pace and walked over quickly.
"Academician Xu, long time no see." With a warm smile on his face, Qin Anguo stretched out his hand to say hello to Xu Chuan.
"It's been a while since we've seen each other." Xu Chuan smiled and stood up and shook hands with Mr. Qin.
When he first returned to China, it was this gentleman who contacted him personally. It was not until the nuclear waste-related projects were completed that other people were rearranged.
Qin Anguo smiled and introduced to Xu Chuan: "This is Comrade Chen Xinhai, the dean of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Shuimu University."
"This is Academician Xu Chuanxu."
Dean Chen had a smile on his face, held his hands and shook them enthusiastically: "I have heard about Academician Xu for a long time, and today I finally have the opportunity to meet him. He is as young as the rumors say."
Xu Chuan smiled and greeted him, and the three of them sat down again.
Qin Anguo looked at Xu Chuan with a smile and continued: "As for the general person in charge of the manned space and lunar exploration project, does Academician Xu really have no intention? To be honest, there should be no more suitable candidate than you in the country.
.”
Hearing this, Xu Chuan coughed slightly and said: "The field of manned spaceflight is not within the scope of my research. Let me be the general person in charge, which is a bit of a layman's guidance."
"And I have quite a few projects on hand here. If I were to coordinate and direct such a big project, I would definitely be overwhelmed."
Qin Anguo smiled and said: "Academician Xu really doesn't have time, let's forget it, but how about having a false position as chief technical advisor on the project?"
"After all, if we want to successfully drag the United States and Western countries into the field of aerospace competition, we still need a top scholar to stand up."
"I believe there is no one more suitable than you."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Of course, don't worry, we will never use your name to publish news or papers unless you want to."
Having said this, Xu Chuan couldn't refuse. He nodded and said: "It doesn't matter to me to have a temporary position. After all, Xinghai Research Institute itself is a cooperative organization for this project."
This kind of thing is too common for top scholars.
Just like a Nobel Prize winner, he often serves as various honorary consultants, and may even be a partner of a certain laboratory.
But in fact, this Nobel Prize winner may have done nothing and just took a job, and then his related research has been continuously favored by others.
This is actually a way to use the reputation of well-known scholars to expand the influence of projects or research, but after all, it is still different from well-known scholars themselves taking the initiative to express their opinions and papers.
Xu Chuan didn't care that much about this kind of thing.
Even if he does not hold a temporary position, the United States will investigate that the Xinghai Research Institute he leads is the main research and development team for manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects.
Next to him, Qin Anguo smiled and said, "That will cause a lot of trouble for Academician Xu."
While talking, the exchange meeting also started.
Standing on the podium, the spokesperson of the Science and Technology Institute read out the main content of this exchange meeting.
The exchange meeting in the morning was mainly about the announcement of some policies.
Such as increasing the budget for aerospace projects, encouraging the entry of private enterprises through tax-free scientific research subsidies, etc.
Generally speaking, these are commonplace topics, but compared to the past, the intensity this time has increased a lot.
These things seem to be of little interest to Xu Chuan. He is not short of funds and is not considered a private enterprise. As for tax-free scientific research subsidies, they do not mean much to him.
However, for some private enterprises, this subsidy is quite sincere.
Especially if you invest one dollar in the aerospace field, you can deduct two dollars of tax, which is quite attractive.
After all, if you engage in aerospace, the investment capital will basically start at tens of millions or billions.
If you invest 100 million, you can offset the tax of 200 million, which is quite tempting for some large manufacturers.
For example, Goose Factory launched the "WeEarth Super Earth" plan in 2019.
The goal is to establish a peer-to-peer observation network including 300 satellites in the next few years and provide "out-of-the-box" remote sensing services to government agencies, scientific research institutions and technology enterprises through "dedicated satellite" services.
And to send 300 satellites into the sky, the money spent is not a small amount.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even for SpaceX, the cheapest company currently providing rocket space, the launch cost per kilogram of the main launch vehicle-Falcon 9 reusable rocket exceeds 2,000
Mijin.
Two thousand meters of gold is still the cost price. If sold to other manufacturers, it will probably be at least several times higher.
A satellite that implements functions such as peer-to-peer observation networks, remote sensing services, and positioning services weighs at least several hundred kilograms.
Calculated based on the relatively low launch cost of 300 kilograms for a 5000-meter gold particle, the launch cost alone is as high as 500 million.
500 million, if the policies announced at this exchange meeting are followed, the tax can be deducted to 1 billion.
For companies with satellite launch needs, this is equivalent to the state directly covering their launch costs while also subsidizing an additional RMB 500 million in scientific research expenses.
Of course, this extremely favorable tax credit policy is not without conditions.
To meet the tax deduction standards, you need to invest in the domestic aerospace industry. It is impossible for you to take one billion, go to the American company SpaceX to launch a rocket, and then come back with the invoice to deduct taxes. This is impossible.
To put it simply, this policy hopes to promote the development of domestic private aerospace enterprises, whether you invest in rocket launches yourself or find other domestic aerospace companies to launch rockets.
But it's not possible to find someone from abroad.
The morning exchange meeting basically consisted of these contents.
In the afternoon, well-known scholars in the domestic aerospace field and several academicians of the Academy of Sciences gave their respective reports on the development and planning of aerospace.
Such as "The Development of Manned Space Engineering and Aerospace Technology", "Progress and Prospects of Development and Utilization of Lunar Resources", "Development Concept of Space Resource Development System", etc.
At first, Xu Chuan thought it was a normal exchange, until the propaganda office at the Science and Technology Center began to report on the plan, and he heard something unusually familiar in the words.
"...According to the plan, we will build a super-large mass catapult in 2030. This mass catapult will use a controllable nuclear fusion reactor to provide energy and be used in the aerospace field. It can directly launch objects that need to be launched into space in the future.
Spacecraft, satellites, materials and other items are accelerated to the first cosmic speed and can be sent into outer space without power, which greatly saves rocket launch costs..."
“In addition, it is expected that in 2040, science and technology will lead the ‘South Tianmen Project’ operation, using mass catapults to build a space carrier in outer space for navigation in the local galaxy.”
"The fleet will use controllable nuclear fusion reactors as its power source to transport materials and mineral deposits to and from the moon, Mars and other planets..."
"..."
"We welcome other countries to participate in the development of interstellar resources and jointly create a better future for mankind. We also welcome companies in the major aerospace fields to invest in China..."
As the person in charge on the stage spoke, the crowd in the auditorium became obviously commotion.
Super large mass catapult?
Nantianmen plan?
Fusion-powered space carrier?
Interstellar resource mining?
The series of nouns made everyone present swallow their saliva and be amazed.
Did they travel through time? Directly come to the interstellar age?
Is this kind of thing really possible now?
Is this cake a little too big?
But at the meeting, it was Academician Xu who served as the chief technical advisor for the manned space and lunar exploration project.
Everyone knows the miracles that Academician Xu has created.
The controllable nuclear fusion, which was said to last for fifty years, was solved by him in less than three years.
From this point of view, in the next ten years, it may be possible to achieve this kind of mass catapult.
Thinking of this, everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress the shock in their hearts.
The big guys in the business and industrial circles have recorded these things one after another. It seems that it is necessary to go back and study them carefully.
If it can really be done, this is the future.
