Chapter 523 Low-cost production

Yang Feng's bullet train was parked in Tawau, a coastal city in the eastern coastal city of the Ming Empire.

This is just an inconspicuous small town. There was nothing else except picturesque scenery and pure and transparent sea water, but now it has become a symbol of scientific and technological strength, because the space launch center of Xingchen Company is being built here, and there is also Xingchen Company's rocket manufacturing base. The project is currently progressing smoothly, and the first rocket has entered the final assembly stage.

Even the first satellite is about to leave the factory.

However, it is just an experimental small satellite, weighing more than 400 kilograms in total. It mainly carries a communication device and a high-definition camera that can send image data to the ground. Of course, due to technical limitations, it is mainly to obtain the earth's images through the catapulted film after completing the mission. However, this satellite does not belong to any country, and this is Star Company's own.

The first rocket that Xingchen Company is assembling is actually an early model of Delta, a third-stage rocket. The first stage is a kerosene-plus liquid oxygen engine, the second stage is lyammonia, and the third stage is solid fuel. The rocket's low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is only 500 kilograms. Of course, this is already very good. The first satellite launched by the Soviet Union the year before last weighed only 80 kilograms, and the first satellite launched by the United States last year weighed only 80 kilograms. Compared with them, Xingchen Company's starting point is quite high.

Once this launch is successful, then Star Company will have a bunch of satellites waiting to be launched next.

All the countries participating in this plan have basically prepared one. Western European countries such as the Ming Dynasty and Britain and France have made it themselves, while other countries that do not have the ability to make their own are looking for contractors and others have made it for them. So in the next few years, the rockets at this launch center will be launched one after another into the sky. Until the first wave of satellites of the twenty-six shareholders are launched, there are few shareholders here, and there are more like Gaul to prepare four at once. Even if one is launched a month, it will take three years to launch the first wave of satellites.

Therefore, the United States and the Soviet Union can be at most a high-end satellite aspect, and this thing will soon become a mess. Kennedy couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought that the United States would appear with Siam in a few years on the list of satellite-owned countries.

"I really want to see the grand scene of the launch vehicle ejecting flames into the sky one day earlier."

Yang Feng stood beside him, looking at the construction site center, the launch pad that had already taken shape, couldn't help but feel at ease. According to the plan, the first launch will be carried out in early next year. In addition to the launch site here that has not been completed, the measurement and control stations built in South Africa, Western Australia, Argentina, Britain and other places have not been completed. After all, it has only been a year since Xingchen Company officially started operation, and this speed is already fast enough.

After he said this, Kennedy became even more depressed.

This guy is too shameless. He failed to steal the first satellite launch, but was stolen by the Soviet Union and the United States, and he actually vented his depression in this insidious way. In addition, the United States and the Soviet Union will have at least twenty-eight countries with their own satellites in the next three years. The obviously tall nobles suddenly become brick-moving workers. In the future, the Soviets will no longer be embarrassed to brag about their first satellite launch every day. Of course, the American media are also embarrassed to be the second satellite launcher. They are all tied with Siam and Malaya!

It's so shameless!

"His Excellency, as far as I know, the Soviets seem to have begun preparing for their first manned space flight."

Kennedy looked at Yang Feng with a satisfied look on his face, obviously trying to give him a blow.

"It's no big deal. Let them be rampant first. When our moon landing plan is realized, everything about them will be just children's toys!"

Yang Feng said heroically.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, are we really doing the lunar exploration project?"

Two hours later, Hu Hao asked Yang Feng carefully on the special train heading to Shuntian.

He just received a reply from Ye Qisun, President of the Academy of Sciences. The latter does not support the launch of such a project at this time. Several aerospace experts from the Academy of Sciences have just conducted a preliminary demonstration that if the round-trip manned spacecraft is sent to the moon and then allowed to fly back, the required rocket may be as heavy as a cruiser. Not to mention whether such a rocket can be developed, even if it can be developed, countless experiments will be required, continuously launching various detection spacecraft and conducting various system tests, then the funds invested in the entire project are likely to exceed the Borneo High-speed Railway.

And there is no guarantee that it will succeed.

Instead of doing all its national strength to carry out such a project that shows its strength, it is better to take out the money and repair the high-speed rail. Although the high-speed rail around Borneo has been completed, a high-speed rail that runs across the island between Shuntian and Zhaosheng is also needed. In addition, a high-speed rail is also needed between Banda Aceh and Medan. In short, the suggestion given by the Academy of Sciences is that it is better to repair the high-speed rail than to carry out the Chang'e plan.

"Of course, we have to do it. The high-speed rail needs to be repaired, but Chang'e's plan also needs to be done. However, this plan does not require Congress to allocate funds. The budget for Congress is just a good example. I will pay for this plan myself."

Yang Feng said casually.

"Head of the People's Republic of China, that's tens of billions of dragons!"

Hu Hao said in horror that although tens of billions of dragons are just a printing press that consumes more paper and ink, such a huge amount of money will cause serious harm to the financial order for the printing press.

"Well, I can't use that much, probably three to five million is enough."

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, it will cost 300 million to 500 million. First of all, this rocket must be built. Without this rocket, it would not be possible to act, but other things are not needed at all. It doesn't matter whether this rocket can send the spacecraft to the moon, but it must fly, and it must be large enough to look like it can actually send the spacecraft to the moon.

Of course it just seems that it will not be really used to launch lunar exploration spacecraft.

Yang Feng wouldn't really do any lunar exploration project even if he was kicked by the donkey. He has been there many times himself, and there is neither an alien base nor a three-eyed monster. As for whether it is hollow, it is not clear with the detection ability of the Voyager, but at least from the surface, it is an eternal desolation. This planet is not worth his spending tens of billions to land within at least thirty or fifty years.

Even if he wanted Helium 3, he just asked the Voyager to pull tens of thousands of tons, then found a pit on his own territory and then dug it as a mine. So lunar exploration is just a bubble for him.

He is creating a scam.

But it is a real scam. Rockets will launch and spacecraft will launch, but just like his empty shell version of the Goddess of Dawn, it is just a meaningless empty shell. Then he went to the moon to let his beautiful robots act as astronauts. Their bodies can be modified and their appearance can be changed. In short, they just record a picture as an astronaut, and then take it out to stimulate the Americans to land on the moon.

Originally, in history, they really landed on the moon, but this time they must make it really landed on the moon.

And not only do they really need to land on the moon, but they also need to gain a lot of rewards, and then they keep climbing down. As for how to make them gain a lot of rewards...

Well, this head of state hasn't thought about it yet.

But it is definitely necessary to make them a major discovery that can affect human history. Then the Americans will continue to do it again and again. If the Soviets were well-informed, they might know that they would join the crazy lunar exploration career and occasionally add to their troubles when necessary. Anyway, it is nothing more than just starting his evil brain pit. The rest of him will sit comfortably and just pretend to be monkeys, so that the national strength of Mizu and Su will continue to be consumed on this white elephant.

As for how his Chang'e plan script should be designed, it's very simple. It's a set of Saturn V-level rocket engines, and there are some key parts, which are directly manufactured by the Voyager, and then the remaining simple parts are produced by the Ming Dynasty factory, and finally such a super rocket is made. The spacecraft can be responsible for several missile manufacturers. The Ming Dynasty's manned spacecraft must be done, including space stations, and so on, so the spacecraft technology must be mastered, and this must be done in practice.

But it’s better to save money first. Voyager and these companies can do it together. Anyway, it’s just fooling people. In this way, it also needs a set of technicians who use rockets, build some special facilities, and do several necessary tests, such as manned spacecraft. After all, it’s still too exaggerated to succeed in one success. Anyway, the first half can be done normally, but a few times can be done to the leapfrog development and direct landing on the moon.

So it can be done with 300 million or 500 million.

The cost of the rocket is very small, that is, the cost of supporting facilities and the cost of several launches. In short, it is still necessary to spend money, but it is better for the Americans to do such things as spending tens of billions!

Hu Hao is not a fool. He always had a share in the time when Chief Yang blows bubbles and cheats people. When he heard Yang Feng say this, he immediately realized that Chief Yang was going to cheat people again. He said with his eyes shining: " Chief, are you talking about being fooled? But this thing cannot be faked? Not to mention whether the rocket can send the spaceship to the moon, insiders can see at a glance that even if we can perform the previous plays, we will still land on the moon in the end. This cannot be faked, and it must be successful. If it fails, it will become a joke, and the people are not satisfied."

"Is this kind of thing difficult? Isn't it just to find an astronaut to step onto the moon? I guess a director of a film company will solve it."

Yang Feng said.

"Director, director?!"

Hu Hao's eyes almost popped out.
Chapter completed!
