Zhao Ling looked at her husband with a smile, and she knew that as long as Qin Tao came here, the meeting would become completely different from before.

In the past, the aerospace system held meetings every year, but the leaders spoke on it, talking about the work achievements of the aerospace system this year, and then the outstanding representatives of various institutes made speeches, and finally gave some encouragement, and the meeting ended.

What about this time? Qin Tao came over and proposed the concept of competition. He also proposed the argument of breaking the system into two parts, sending people to the blue sky and sending people to the west, which changed the atmosphere of the meeting in an instant.

Originally, the competition and splitting would definitely make many people unwilling and make many people worried. But now, everyone is laughing in addition to laughing, especially Qin Tao also improvised a song, which is so interesting.

"One is a satellite, the other is a hygiene...one is happy that you have to pay money, and one is happy that you have to be laid off."

Qin Tao finally finished the limerick. The scene was silent for a second or two, and then there was a burst of warm applause.

"I'm laughing." Qin Tao said with a smile.

On the rostrum, Mr. Wu sighed very much, "Mr. Qin introduced it in detail. Our aerospace system does have to compete. This method of division is the best. An important task for us next year is to disassemble our aerospace system according to this classification method and start competition."

"That's right, we should separate those who send people to the blue sky from those who send people to the west." Mr. Wang also said, "From then on, we will concentrate on manned space flight and send people to the blue sky. You will concentrate on building missiles and send enemies to the west!"

"Mr. Qin, your Starship Company will not compete with our two companies at the same time, right?" Mr. Wu continued.

"Of course it's impossible. We have no competition with our space system. Our goal is to send people to Mars."

You are just circling around the earth, and we are directly circling in the solar system. These are two different goals.

"Yes, our mission is different from Starship Company." Mr. Wang said, "Mr. Qin, are you going to carry out the manned spacecraft project in the future?"

"Yes, our rocket has greater thrust, so our manned spacecraft will be even bigger." Qin Tao introduced, "Our spacecraft will have only two cabin sections, the return capsule and the propulsion capsule. Our return capsule will accommodate six or seven astronauts living and working at the same time."

The Shenzhou spacecraft currently under development in the manned spacecraft uses the design ideas of the Soyuz spacecraft of the old Russians, which are divided into three sections, with the propulsion cabin at the end, the return cabin in the middle, and the orbital cabin in the front. The biggest advantage of this three-cabin section is that the size of the return cabin is greatly reduced, which can reduce the technical difficulty during return.

However, this design leads to too much redundancy, which leads to the return capsule that can only accommodate three astronauts. If you want to perform deep space exploration missions, it is unqualified.

Therefore, the new generation of manned spacecraft has two-stage structures.

"Listen to what Mr. Qin said, I feel like we can be unemployed. We can directly use the Mingzhou Group's plan to achieve manned space flight." Mr. Wang said with a smile.

This is certainly a kind of modesty.

"Of course not." Qin Tao said, "our technology is more difficult, so we may not be able to have the ability to carry manned space within 20 years. Our national team's project is a down-to-earth and stable road, and it may be able to send astronauts to space in a few years."

Before the manned space flight project was carried out, project demonstrations had been conducted for several years, and finally a safe plan was chosen.

Qin Tao also has a clear understanding of this.

"Also, our Starship Company only engages in rockets, and the astronauts they need need to borrow from our space agency."

Speaking of astronauts, Qin Tao was also very moved. In fact, according to the standards of the Russians, every astronaut trained in China is qualified and can fully perform space missions, but there is no way. The country's aerospace engineering requires few people. Therefore, some astronauts who accompany the runners have obviously had enough ability, but they have not entered the sky at once.

If Starship Company can succeed, it can borrow astronauts from the national aerospace engineering to give more astronauts the opportunity to go to heaven.

"Mr. Qin, your rocket has greater thrust. According to our three-step manned space flight strategy, we will definitely build a space station in the future. At that time, we will also need your rocket to help launch the cabin section." Mr. Wang continued.

"That's certain, facts have proved that relying on others is unreliable." Qin Tao said, "No country can help us develop aerospace technology, we can only rely on ourselves."

In 1993, the atmosphere in the world was harmonious. The United States, Russia, 11 European Space Agency member states, Japan, Canada and Brazil, a total of 16 countries joined forces to establish a special international space station.

At that time, China was also very happy and actively wanted to participate in the construction of this project, but it was ruthlessly rejected!

No country wants to see China's strength or take China to play aerospace. Therefore, the astronauts in the East can only suppress this anger and practice internal skills hard, so we can do it ourselves!

In later generations, the International Space Station faced the risk of retirement due to various filth, and countries did not have the funds and strength to build a new International Space Station again. The East has taken one step at a time and continued to move forward, building its own space station.

Westerners are so sad that they loudly protest that you actually use Chinese on space stations, which is not in line with international practice!

Why do we use our own space stations in line with the international practices you mentioned? Russian is also used on the Mir space station, so why don’t you protest?

Of course, some people have already realized the reality and have begun to study Chinese hard, hoping to go to the Eastern space station.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! At this time, Qin Tao's words immediately aroused strong emotions in everyone's hearts.

"That's right, Mr. Qin is right. It's not reliable to rely on others. Our aerospace engineering can only firmly follow our own path." Mr. Wang was deeply moved by this, because when he was building the International Space Station, he had gone to negotiate with him, but was squeezed out. Thinking of the experience during this period, Mr. Wang clenched his fists.

"It's not just a manned space project, but also a navigation system." Qin Tao said, "At present, it's time to arrange our Beidou navigation system. Our navy is still waiting!"

Qin Tao has always been a shipbuilder, and his position is still on the Navy.

The Navy needs navigation systems, and the demand is most urgent.

Navy warships cannot just wander on their own coastlines, but also need to go out to visit and sail on the ocean, which requires navigation and positioning. Although they have thousands of years of navigation experience and devices such as sextant, modern navigation systems are also necessary, and the Navy needs professional navigation methods.

The warship needs to install its own Beidou navigation terminal, so as to avoid being associated with GP signals by the Americans at critical moments. Navy's long-range aircraft, such as Flying Leopard fighter bombers, also need to be equipped with satellite navigation terminals.

Not to mention advanced precision guidance weapons, it also requires advanced satellite navigation systems.

Countless demands are calling!

Hearing Qin Tao's request, Mr. Sun, who was in charge of the Beidou navigation system, nodded, "Yes, we also know that the army is waiting, so we are also hurrying to do research. Two thousand years ago, we must send the Beidou navigation satellite to the sky."

At that time, as soon as the Beidou navigation system was started, Qin Tao excitedly ran to see the R&D team, and found that they were actually doing R&D in the warehouse because the boiler in the office building was broken and there was no money to repair it.

At that time, Qin Tao waved his hand and helped to repair the boiler. He also provided a batch of computers to support the R&D team.

Therefore, he is also considered an old acquaintance with Mr. Sun. Now, Mr. Sun felt a little embarrassed when he listened to Qin Tao's urging, just like a student who scored 98 points was embarrassed to meet his parents because he didn't get one hundred.

"However, Mr. Qin, we still have many problems." Mr. Sun looked at Qin Tao and continued, "For example, we are not good at the commercial operation of our Beidou navigation system. We can provide it to the army, but if it is provided to the public, it may be difficult to compete with GP."

If it cannot be operated commercially, then it cannot make money. If it cannot make money, their Beidou navigation system is a high-investment project, which makes them a little embarrassed.

"Commercial operation, no charges are charged." Qin Tao said.

In 1994, the Americans' GP system had already begun to be free to the world. It sounded like Americans were generous, but in fact it was to make users of various countries rely on GP and facilitate their control. If a country's army is used to using GP, but when it comes to the battlefield, the Americans directly turn off the civilian signal of GP, then the country's army will be completely blind.

By 2003, the ten-year free period promised by the Americans had arrived. They originally planned to charge fees, but the European Galileo had already started, and the Big Mao had also maintained operation. There was Beidou in the East. In order to compete with these systems, Americans decided to continue to be free.

If Beidou charges fees, it will definitely be scolded.

But, without charges, how can you make money?

"Old Sun, I once proposed that when the Beidou system comes out, our Mingzhou Group hopes to authorize the chip production task of ground receivers. At present, we are actively working hard to improve the chip production process. By two thousand years, it is likely that we have already had a 018 micron production process, which will be even lower. At that time, we can use this process to produce special receiver chips."

018 micron? Everyone looked at Qin Tao in surprise. Your Mingzhou Group is too powerful, right?

"Of course, we can entrust SMIC to manufacture all the receiver chips." Mr. Sun said.

"In this way, the chips we produce can be sold at a higher price. The higher part will be used as the main income for our Beidou satellite system."

Can you still play like this?

Old Sun looked at Qin Tao in surprise, his lips moved, trying to ask questions, but he felt a little embarrassed. Since Mr. Qin said yes, that's sure, right?

"One chip can be charged 50 yuan. In this way, even if there are only 10 million commercial users, they can charge 500 million chip patent fees." Knowing what Mr. Sun was struggling with, Qin Tao gave a simple analysis for Mr. Sun.

The patent fee for paying 50 yuan for a chip is not much. You should know that it costs several thousand yuan to buy a GP navigation receiver in this era! The Beidou terminal is cheaper, even if it is only sold for 2,000 yuan, and fifty yuan is spent to the Beidou project, it will definitely not be revealed.

Until later generations, with the continuous advancement of microelectronics technology, the cost of navigation modules used in mobile phones such as GP and Beidou was reduced to several dozen yuan. (There is also a saying that it is a few yuan, but I don’t know much about it.)

The price of launching a navigation satellite is about 500 million, which means that the patent fee charged on the chip is enough for a satellite!

The Beidou Generation Navigation System uses the principle of binary star positioning, and only two satellites are enough.

Now, just doing half of the cost can be recovered by just doing tricks on the chip. How could Mr. Sun not be moved?

Qin Tao continued, "Next, we can also set up a special Beidou navigation company, register the Beidou navigation trademark, develop a special Beidou navigation digital map, and calculate it according to the user's navigation map update every three months. It will charge 100 yuan at a time, and we can give a commission of 100 yuan. In this way, it will be 400 million yuan a year."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Next is the annual calculation, and you can get hundreds of millions every year!

Mr. Sun opened his eyes widened, "Mr. Qin, your plan is so good! We will fully entrust this Beidou navigation company to you Mingzhou Group!"

If you are a professional user, you don’t need a digital map. Their satellite navigation terminals display only the coordinates of latitude and longitude, and then the user can know their exact location by comparing the map.

However, ordinary business users cannot do it.

Business users are not that professional and do not look at latitude and longitude coordinate values, but only look at pictures. The navigation system is hardware and must be accompanied by software such as digital maps.

In later generations, free navigation maps such as Gaode and Baidu were so popular that people forget that the boss of in-car navigation was Kailide. The latter occupied in-car navigation terminals for many years, and each upgrade cost dozens or even hundreds of times. Due to the constant changes in urban roads, it has to be upgraded once in a few months.

Kailide almost made money by lying down, so they didn't care about user experience or something, and were eventually defeated by the free navigation system.

Now, Qin Tao has proposed a relevant plan. Instead of letting others make money, it is better to make money by yourself. At least after making money by yourself, some of them will be returned to the Beidou project, so that the Beidou system can be profitable. When they have money, they can continue to develop the next generation of navigation systems to achieve circular progress and development.

"It is indeed beneficial to invite Mr. Qin here." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "Mr. Qin, can our manned space engineering also make profits?"

In fact, it is difficult to compete in the aerospace field, because aerospace is inherently high investment and low returns. Domestic aerospace engineering is just to undertake some international satellite launch missions. Although it can make money, it is definitely not as good as investment.

"Of course." Qin Tao said, "You only go up to two astronauts at a time, and sell the third seat. This will ensure that you can make money. There are still many billionaires in this world who are looking forward to flying into the sky."

Everyone was a little silenced. Mr. Qin was too whimsical? What a serious project for manned space flight, it was going to be a space tourism?

Qin Tao smiled. It was indeed a joke. At the beginning, manned spacecraft was difficult and dangerous, and it was probably difficult to sell ship tickets. After all, it was different from the mature Soyuz spacecraft.

"When our spacecraft matures, half of our starship seats can be sold." Qin Tao said, "so that we can make a fortune every time we launch it. In addition, our rockets are reusable, Starship Company will definitely make profits for our group."

“Reusable?”

"Yes, the development directions of rockets and spacecraft must be reusable, so as to save a lot of money." Qin Tao said, "If we want to land on Mars, we have to develop reusable aerospace equipment."

"What's the difference between that and a space shuttle?" someone present asked.

In general, rockets are all disposable and space shuttles can be reused. Now, if Qin Tao wants to say that both rockets and spacecraft can be reused, isn’t that a space shuttle? You should know that the space shuttle is far from the number of reused times.

"Of course there is a difference. Space shuttles need runway landing, and spacecraft landing with parachutes. If they fly to other planets, our rockets can land directly vertically on top and then take off again."

The Rockets landed vertically!

Everyone felt that Qin Tao was talking about the science fiction world.
