Chapter 751 [Kyuzhou Blue Arrow takes on a heavyweight mission]
When a reporter asked the spokesperson at the press conference about the final future launch cost of "Blue Arrow 5" after the rocket was recovered, the spokesperson answered this question and gave a commercial launch cost of 50 million yuan.
The launch cost of traditional domestic rockets is already much cheaper than internationally, and the final commercial launch cost of "Blue Arrow 5" has dropped to 50 million yuan, which means that compared with the launch cost of domestic traditional rockets of the same stage, it has dropped by nearly 90%.
about.
Another algorithm is more intuitive and eye-catching based on the launch cost per kilogram. Internationally, it exceeds 10,000 US dollars to 15,000 US dollars per kilogram. Calculated at 15,000 US dollars per kilogram, excluding exchange rate changes, it is equivalent to more than 90,000 yuan in RMB.
When Kyushu Blue Arrow uses recycled rockets for commercial launches, the cost per kilogram will plummet to an incredible 4,200 yuan.
Compared with the international launch cost of US$15,000 per kilogram, the reduction rate has reached an astonishing over 95%. Even compared with the international launch cost of US$10,000 per kilogram, the reduction rate has still reached about 92%.
When the spokesperson disclosed these data, everyone outside was shocked.
This is undoubtedly a quite astonishing decrease. In the aerospace field, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is reduced to cabbage price.
…
The next day, on May 22, the A-share market opened. Although the market index shot higher and fell back that day, concept stocks related to the aerospace field surged, with many stocks hitting their daily limits, and Jiuzhou Blue Arrow got out of the second consecutive market.
In addition, the photovoltaic new energy sector continues to strengthen.
This is all due to the news of the successful recovery of "Blue Arrow 5". As Kyushu Blue Arrow has completed an unprecedented rocket recovery achievement in the world's aerospace history, although it is only the first success, it is of great significance.
First of all, it is proved that rocket recycling is feasible. There is no problem with this route, so it is only a matter of time before the era of rocket recycling comes.
Before the breakthrough of controllable nuclear fusion technology, there is no better solution that can replace rocket recovery technology to reduce the cost of human exploration in space.
Jiuzhou Blue Arrow consolidates the rocket recovery technology and then finalizes the "Blue Arrow 5". After that, it can undertake commercial launch missions. The cost has dropped by more than 90%. As long as it stabilizes, the success rate will be comparable to those of nationally developed rockets.
On the same level, no rocket in the world can compete with it in terms of competitiveness in terms of commercial launches.
With the sudden drop in costs, human space activities will become more frequent than ever before. Although it will become cheaper, it will open up a larger launch demand market. In fact, the industrial scale of the entire aerospace field will expand unprecedentedly.
Therefore, concept stocks in related sectors began to soar, and the capital market was the first to react.
The significance of this successful recycling is that this thing is no longer a story, but allows everyone to see the real results, and the expectations are getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer a vague hype.
Due to the establishment of the "Daily Project" plan, the photovoltaic new energy sector experienced a sharp rise at that time, but then began to decline. Although it seemed very hot at that time, in fact, many people were attracted by the influx of capital.
I don’t believe it, most people just plan to make a fortune and leave.
Once the heat is over, things start to return to rationality.
But things are obviously different now. The sudden drop in launch costs has mutually confirmed the previous "economic feasibility" demonstration reports of space photovoltaic power stations and solved a key technical difficulty, that is, launch costs.
The sudden drop in launch costs means that the cost of the solar panels sent up has dropped sharply. This is the most obvious and intuitive link in the entire "daily project" to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The economic feasibility has been demonstrated, the technical feasibility has been demonstrated long ago, and this can be done.
Now all countries have to reconsider the issue of space photovoltaic power stations. For example, the people of Yingguo, who were struggling with whether to follow it before, now want to follow it more and more.
In the next few days, the stock price of Jiuzhou Blue Arrow also rose sharply and continued for as long as a week. Several major market makers have worked very hard to control the market, but the company's market value has still been pushed up to 3,000 by many investors.
Above the 100 million yuan mark.
A large number of retail investors have bought this stock, and some investment institutions are also actively building positions. If it hadn't been for the collective 18-day limit-limiting incident in the Galaxy concept stocks last spring, the stock prices of companies such as Jiuzhou Blue Arrow and Quantitative Capital would have been much lower.
It was pushed up by the capital market.
It is still relatively conservative now. On the other hand, there is really no incremental funds. Most people have no choice but to have no money to buy.
This is quite good and is in line with Fang Hong's wishes.
Galaxy concept stocks were not suitable to start in the first half of the year, and their stock prices were obviously suppressed.
…
A week later, at the end of May, Fang Hong came to the Jiuzhou Blue Arrow headquarters.
Because of a new major event, Kyushu Blue Arrow received a new task. This time, the successful recovery of "Blue Arrow 5" created an unprecedented historic achievement and caused a sensation around the world.
To put it bluntly, I have a long face.
The superiors also paid attention to this matter and were very happy about it. Not only did they give a two-and-a-half-minute focus report on Xinwen Network on the evening of the successful recycling, but they also received a congratulatory call from the superiors the next day.
After a few days, a decision was made.
Let Jiuzhou Blue Arrow be responsible for this important task of building a space station, and let Jiuzhou Blue Arrow take the lead in handling this matter.
The above is happy on the one hand, but this decision goes beyond that. The key point is that Jiuzhou Blue Arrow also has two major shareholders, namely the two major Guo Jia team aerospace groups.
In addition, the space station project has been entrusted to you, Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, to take the lead in this matter. So, will you be responsible for the funding?
This is a good thing. Fang Hong doesn't care about the money. The most important thing is money.
As long as we can take over this job and let Kyushu Blue Arrow do it, and let go of the initiative and give it full autonomy, that's enough.
…
At this moment, more than a dozen people gathered in a conference room at the Jiuzhou Blue Arrow headquarters.
Fang Hong has been here for ten minutes. The six leading technicians of Jiuzhou Blue Arrow Company are all present, namely Zheng Xin, Yan Jiandan, Chen Weiwei, Luo Liang, Xiang Lanzhi, and Yin Ting. These six people are actually Fang Hong's target for them.
The research and development capabilities have been strengthened at an "epic level".
Now that they have become leading technical experts in the aerospace industry, Guo Jia's two major aerospace groups now "regret" letting them go. They have also tried to poach them back several times, and have given hints overtly and covertly.
But they were all declined by the parties involved, because they just wanted to stay in Jiuzhou Blue Arrow.
This made the two major aerospace groups secretly patting themselves on the back and saying that it was rash to let them come over. Fortunately, they hold shares in Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, and the two major aerospace groups each hold 20% of the company's shares.
This situation is now acceptable.
At this moment, Chen Zongwei, who was attending the meeting, looked around the crowd and said: "Lao Zheng and I have been demonstrating and building the model of the 'Orbital Reef Space Station' and have been improving it for two years, aiming to provide orbital transfer for the implementation of the 'Sunday Project' project in the future.
The role of the hub, this time the country has given me the task of the space station, Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, Lao Zheng and I still push to build the orbital reef space station."
