I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?
Chapter 72 Space Press Conference
"Tomorrow belongs to SpecaX!, Ma Yilong said that the success of Falcon 9 was 'expected', and said that SpecaX is developing a super-heavy spacecraft that can be used to land on Mars, and its performance will exceed that of Falcon 9 by an era..."
Although Lao Ma is the second aerospace company to complete rocket recovery in this timeline, and Falcon 9 is strictly speaking the fifth type of recyclable rocket, the Falcon 9 is 6 months ahead of schedule compared to before Lin Ju's time travel. Successful rocket recovery completed.
So many fireworks are really not in vain. With the stimulation of Xinyuan, Kongcha combined with the power of capital, successfully reused Falcon 9.
This is a stimulant for the world's aerospace industry and proves that rocket recycling is a feasible and achievable route. Although Xinyuan is developing rapidly, it is not impossible to catch up.
The capital that had long been encouraged by Xinyuan quickly poured a large amount of hot money into SpecaX. The new round of financing is expected to raise another US$25 million. Lao Ma's originally somewhat tight funds are quickly filling up, enough to support future heavy rocket plans.
Moreover, after the Falcon 9 is successfully recovered, the CBC-configuration "Falcon Heavy" can become a reality. The latter has an LEO transport capacity of nearly 70 tons and a recovered LEO transport capacity of 45 tons. It is completely heavy enough to compete with Xinyuan 2. Rocket.
Lao Ma was very satisfied with his ambition, and NACA followed suit with its vigorous promotion. For a while, Kongcha seemed to be running ahead of Xinyuan again.
As for the domestic reaction: Netizens are worried that Xinyuan Aerospace’s power background is too shallow and may be surpassed by the old horse; Lin Juhun doesn’t care; the space agency... He Zhuo is going crazy now.
Xinyuan has successfully recovered, Ma Yilong has also successfully recovered, and the Long March 6 reusable model of the Fifth Academy is almost behind Lao!
After the Long March 6 Yaoyi bombed in April, the Fifth Institute worked overtime to improve the control system and tried to improve the 1553B data bus to enhance the ability to handle complex situations.
Now the second Long March 6 has been finally assembled, and it is a full version that can hit satellites.
The eight satellites of the Yao-2 mission from various universities and units are ready and waiting to be launched.
But He Zhuang still doesn't have much confidence in the Yao-2 mission. It's no problem to put the satellite into orbit, but how about recycling it...
He really wanted to delay it a little longer, but if he continued to delay it, he might not be the third child, but the fourth, fifth, and sixth child. He couldn't delay it!
After a whole day of ideological struggle, He Ruang decided to launch the Long March 6 reusable Yao-2 rocket on June 25!
…
On June 9, in the No. 2 General Assembly Building of the Qiongzhou Space Launch Site, the Progress space shuttle was being hoisted vertically and installed on the second stage of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket.
The workers at the operation never stopped talking, because this time it was a space shuttle!
After all, Ami and the former alliance have spent a lot of effort to create something. It must be difficult for you to think that this thing is really advanced without me.
Now that China can also build it, I feel like "it's just like this" for some reason.
Progress does not require an external fairing and is mounted directly on the rocket, so the crew's field of vision will be quite good:
The front portholes see the sky, and the sides are about 87 meters high, which is equivalent to being on the top of a jumping machine in an amusement park. Just imagining it will make your legs numb.
However, Zhou Rui and Zhao Xiaowen, who have accumulated hundreds of hours of experience on the plane, can overcome it. Special pilot Deng Lei, who has thousands of flying hours, can ignore it.
In the final assembly building, Academician She counted the number of insulation tiles on the surface of the Progress and exclaimed:
"There are only a few hundred insulation tiles, and the area is so large, but they are reused. Xinyuan has done a great job in insulation materials. It seems that the Columbia accident will not happen to them."
In 2003, during the 29th mission of the Aramco space shuttle Columbia, the heat insulation tiles fell off, causing the local temperature to exceed 2800 degrees Celsius, the wings failed, and eventually rolled and crashed, killing seven astronauts.
An important basis for attacking the space shuttle since then is that too many insulation tiles are unreliable, but it is obvious that H1 has solved this problem.
Looking at the Progress, which had obvious signs of use due to its many intra-atmospheric missions, Academician She's thinking began to diverge.
He began to seriously consider the moon landing plan proposed by Xinyuan Company: directly launch a space shuttle with a full load of about 100 tons, carrying 2 to 5 astronauts, a built-in living service module, and a 25-ton lunar lander in the cargo compartment. , powered by a fuel-saving nuclear thermal rocket engine, it rushes to the lunar orbit, performs the mission, and then returns completely.
It sounded like bragging before, but now it seems to be extremely feasible.
The originally envisioned future aerospace development route was being shattered little by little. Academician She added the variables of Xinyuan Aerospace and thought about a new future.
In the No. 1 General Assembly Building, the first-stage rocket of the Xinyuan-2 Yaoyi has also been prepared and is waiting to hoist the new second-stage rocket.
Unity, the second unit of H1, will also be shipped at the end of the month for the third launch mission in July.
On June 10, five days before the Xinyuan-2 mission, Xinan Automobile announced that its first pure electric coupe "Xin'an XC4" will be officially released on June 15 and will begin accepting orders. Delivery after 8 months.
Xinyuan Aerospace Power and Southern Industrial Motors forwarded this news and jointly put it on the hot search list, which immediately attracted strong attention.
The reason for concern is not that Xinyuan is preparing to enter new energy vehicles, but the location of Xinyuan's press conference: 300km low-Earth orbit.
In the promotional picture, a car covered with black cloth is floating above the earth.
Combined with the launch time of the Xinyuan-2 Yao-2 rocket, it is easy to understand that the Xinyuan X4 will be launched into space!
Hold a car launch event in space!
Not only did it cause a huge sensation on the Internet, but many friends and businessmen were even more surprised.
In the past two years, Southern Auto's sales have indeed been rising steadily, but it has quietly climbed into the aerospace industry and even wants to send cars into space!
They can imagine how strong such a brand effect would be, directly changing the image of domestically produced cars.
But this is not over yet. Southern Motor also announced that it will launch a 2.0T luxury large-size SUV. The CS105 will also hold a press conference in space, but it will only take three months from ordering to delivery.
24 hours later, these two press conference previews made car dealers around the world dumbfounded.
Sometimes, what defeats you is not necessarily your peers, but the cross-border ones.
Obviously, this marketing with space gimmicks immediately shocked people in 2015. Legend has it that Xinan XC4, which was jointly developed with Xinyuan and applied advanced aerospace technology, had high expectations, and it became a hit once it was released. Comes with nobility.
Now no one would think that domestically produced cars should be cheap. Even the estimated price is no less than 300,000. From this moment on, the positioning of luxury models was recognized.
At the group headquarters of China Southern Motor, Chen Jun proudly analyzed the senior executives:
“Sending a car into space is refreshing the first time, and shocking the second time, but not after that.
Sooner or later, people will realize that these are two different things, so although we spent a lot of money, we completely took advantage of it in terms of improving brand positioning and raising the level. "
A group of senior executives applauded vigorously. Anyway, if you bet correctly, you will be right in everything, and you will be rewarded greatly.
Then, between transferring to the group headquarters and recommending Xin'an as CEO, Chen Jun decisively chose the latter.
Although the risk is higher, the starting point of the platform is better.
