I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"Boss, buy it. Obviously, from the silicon carbide chip production line to the SC09 system, it is a complete set of technologies. Only when they work together can they have the greatest effect."

"Yes, ternary computing should be very advantageous for artificial intelligence learning. It is very needed for complex deep space manned spacecraft in the future."

"Stop, stop, stop," Lin Ju interrupted a group of engineers who had started to persuade him, and angrily shouted:

"We have just spent 4 billion, including 11 billion for the construction of the launch site. Half of this year's more than 30 billion is gone! SC09 and X32035 will cost another 2 billion. If we continue to spend like this, the money will not be enough, and how can we have that much money? Multiple projects? Existing technology is completely sufficient.”

Lin Ju really couldn't stand it anymore. He had just received tens of billions of dollars, and half of it was gone without even blinking. Who could withstand this?

Moreover, I can’t make a living out of buying so much technology, and I don’t have a plan to use it!

Although there is still a lot of remaining funds, if the B-level base is operational, just maintaining personnel and machinery will be an astronomical sum; especially the chip production line, which typically consumes huge amounts of electricity and water, cannot be stopped during operation.

Moreover, according to the system's urinary properties, the next mission is probably either to land on the moon or Mars. If you don't have funds, you can't say it.

Several system engineers turned their heads and looked at each other. After some eye contact, everyone pushed Androv out.

The bearded Tatar coughed: "Boss, as a large enterprise, we must have a sense of social responsibility; money can be made again, but technological progress is urgent for all mankind. Besides, these technologies are not without productivity."

Lin Ju glanced at him and then turned around: "There are a lot of rich people who are willing to spend money to go to space, and it's impossible to get them together. You don't need such complicated technology to make money from them."

"No, it's not space tourism." Androv shook his head: "Software technology is also profitable, and the institute has strong scientific research capabilities. Although the technologies we can purchase are all in the aerospace field, many places are connected.

For example, artificial intelligence based on ternary chips will be more mature and have stronger learning capabilities than binary. It is very useful whether it is used for data processing or intelligent driving of vehicles, and can coexist with binary computer systems; there are many more of these technologies, but It takes a while to convert.

We don’t need to go out and make products ourselves. As long as we grasp the core technology, we can capture the highest profits with the lowest risks and the lowest management costs. "

"this……"

Seeing that Lin Ju's will had relaxed a little, Androv continued to strike while the iron was hot:

"For example, China's backward chip system is actually not the biggest trouble in manufacturing. The main problem is that the binary architecture patents are owned by others, and the future has been divided up long ago, while the ternary system is still a blue ocean.

As long as we enter the market with a mature ternary system, it is impossible to sweep binary computers into the garbage heap of history, or even embrace quantum computers earlier. "

Talking about the possibility of overtaking the chip in a corner suddenly hit Lin Ju's heart. After all, this area is an eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese people.

China's manufacturing capabilities have been improving. Sooner or later, high-process technology will make a breakthrough, but the design aspect is indeed very troublesome.

The largest civilian market is basically divided between the two ancient architectures of ARM and X86. The rest are either closed systems or have a smaller audience. In order to enter the market, you must compromise with these two systems.

However, the lowest design capabilities are subject to patent restrictions and without authorization. In today's peaceful times, unless you want to withdraw from international trade, you cannot produce.

But the ternary system is different. The current development trajectory of human beings is the transition from binary to quantum computers, but a universal quantum computer in the strict sense will not be built until the monkey year, horse and month.

If it's true as Androv said...

"You really hurt me."

Lin Ju sighed, found his notebook and painstakingly listed hundreds of props in the system mall, and simply let a few system engineers decide which ones to buy.

When he finished writing, the engineers swarmed over and immediately crowded together to browse all kinds of precious technical information.

"Would you like an 800-ton hydrogen-oxygen engine?"

"What's the use of that thing? It's still an old thing with a gas generator cycle. It's useless except for thrust."

"It's good to have the turbopump technology. Can our technology withstand the embrittlement of metal caused by liquid hydrogen?"

"Look what I found, the M3 lunar mobile base vehicle! And a walking robot? This one only costs 500 million, I must buy it!"

"A 300-ton liquid oxygen methane engine? It's just a staged combustion cycle. This is very valuable."

"I think it's not as good as this. The S700 single-stage solid rocket motor has a thrust of 700 tons in one stage and a thrust of 2,800 tons in four stages!"

"Why should such a big thing be used? Liquid rocket engines are the way to go!"

"Combined power engine! It's a good thing that can start at Mach 3. Why don't you buy it quickly?"

"..."

Lin Ju almost fell asleep when he heard the last part, so he simply left and let the engineers choose another day to talk. Anyway, he was determined to save budget.

A group of engineers quarreled back and forth, spent three days selecting technology, and then delayed it until a week later to summarize the institute's next year's development plan and submit it together.

The technologies purchased include: SC09 intelligent control system, X32035 ternary chip technology, 380-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engine with the same technology as K120, 500-ton liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine with oxygen-rich combustion cycle, and 200-ton liquid oxygen methane engine. Engine, 90KN combined power engine, nuclear thermal rocket engine, 11-meter giant recyclable rocket body, a measurement and control satellite drawing, a large satellite platform, etc.

The research mission of the institute has also changed significantly with the enrichment of technology:

Xinyuan-2 and Xinyuan-3 will be redesigned based on new engines and rocket bodies. Due to the greatly improved scientific research strength, the progress of the first flight will not be delayed;

The H1 space shuttle will remain unchanged for the time being, and the H2 will be launched. The H2 will be improved based on newly acquired technologies, increasing the launch weight to 100 tons. At the same time, it will strengthen the appearance and try to eliminate the heat insulation tiles to reduce the unit launch cost;

Based on the X32035 chip and SC09 system, absorb ternary computer technology, study commercialization possibilities, and conduct pre-research on artificial intelligence;

Through system technology, we have developed various types of advanced rocket engines, including liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen kerosene, liquid oxygen methane, and high-thrust reusable solid rocket engines, with thrust ranging from 8 tons to 1,000 tons;

Develop a highly modular and universal liquid rocket family with diameters ranging from 3.5 meters, 6 meters, and 11 meters to flexibly configure launch missions;

Research on small fast mobile solid rockets with a take-off weight of less than 100 tons;

Carry out preliminary research on the plan for a giant rocket with a carrying capacity of 100 to 300 tons in low-Earth orbit;

Carry out demonstration research on the integrated aerospace aircraft program;

Carry out space port program demonstration research;

Carry out a nuclear thermal rocket engine improvement project to prepare for deep space travel;

…

The above funds to purchase technology from the system require about 3 billion. The remaining expenses for research plans, personnel expansion, technical training (purchasing skill cards) and other aspects are expected to be about 9 billion in three years, with an investment of about 4 billion in the first year.

It is expected that Xinyuan's permanent staff will increase to more than 2,000 in one year's time, and it will become the first-tier space company in the world.
