Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Qin Yuanqing didn't know about Schultz, and even if he knew, Qin Yuanqing didn't care.

After all, it’s going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Everyone has their own ambitions and nothing can be forced upon them!

He was coming to Beihang University at this time. This time he returned not just to go home to reunite with his wife and children for the New Year, but because he had a meeting on aerospace engineering to attend on the third day of the first lunar month.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Qin Yuanqing arrived at Beihang University early in the morning. He saw a red banner hanging at the gate of Beihang University - welcoming the moon landing project seminar.

Yes, the meeting Qin Yuanqing is going to attend is exactly about the moon landing project seminar!

Although it has been decided internally before that a manned moon landing will be held on January 22, 2025, a small year, the outside world still knows nothing about it. This moon landing project seminar meeting is on the bright side. , to warm up public opinion and carry out relevant public opinion propaganda.

As for this meeting, both the organizer and the participants were well-established, and the location chosen for the meeting was also located at Beihang University, a specialized aerospace engineering university. The size of the meeting was worthy of Beihang's efforts. Not only did they put up a red banner at the school gate, but security was also provided from the school's auditorium to the school gate.

It's a pity that it's winter vacation now. Students have already gone home for the New Year. Now, schools don't start school until the 20th lunar month. Some universities even go as far as it. The winter vacation lasts for a whole month, and it doesn't start until the 20th lunar month. Start a new semester.

Speaking of which, Qin Yuanqing is also a visiting professor at Beihang University and has given four lectures at Beihang University, so he is no stranger to Beihang University.

After arriving at the auditorium, Qin Yuanqing showed his conference card, passed the security check at the door, and walked into the venue.

Judging from the logos in the venue, not only the two major central enterprises, Aerospace Science and Technology Group and Aerospace Science and Industry Group, Qin Yuanqing even saw several private companies in the list of participating companies, among which Alibaba stood out, being right next to Warwick .

Encouraged by the success of China's space activities, as well as the two successful start-up tests of the 'Golden Crow Device', which opened the door to controllable nuclear fusion, and the stimulation of the 'Double Ring Space Station' major project, the global aerospace market began to heat up. Overseas private aerospace companies have aggressively entered the aerospace industry, relying on their creative ideas to harvest investors' money to tide over the difficulties of their own companies.

Especially Musk, known as a technology madman, has thrown out space fantasies one after another, such as the Starlink project, such as the colonist biopod, etc., which has made his companies very popular. The stock price has come out of the quagmire early and has exceeded its peak, making his With a personal wealth of more than $150 billion, he has a large audience wherever he goes.

Naturally, as China further opens the door for private enterprises to enter the aerospace field, it has also greatly stimulated Chinese private enterprises.

Although aerospace-related technologies are basically monopolized by the two major state-owned enterprises, Aerospace Science and Technology Group and Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, in fact, since 2015, the aerospace technology reserves of private enterprises have also grown rapidly, and they have launched their own aerospace plans.

As of now, there are 223 registered companies in the commercial aerospace field in China, including 194 private aerospace companies, accounting for 87%. Last year, the total annual investment and financing in China's commercial aerospace field reached 357.1 yuan, mainly in the fields of satellite applications and launches.

It can be said that any ambitious entrepreneur can realize that the arrival of the aerospace era is unstoppable. If you want to be invincible, you have to lay out your plans in the aerospace field. Otherwise, your company may face competition in the future. The opponent's dimensionality reduction attack.

China, on the other hand, has an advantage that cannot be matched by overseas countries. That is, China's investment in the "Double Ring Space Station" exceeds three trillion yuan. This is real money, not fake at all. This is like a tornado. Standing at the center of the storm, Even a pig can take off.

All ambitious entrepreneurs want to participate in the aerospace industry chain, and China has a complete aerospace industry chain. Upstream satellite manufacturing, launch, downstream satellite operation, application and other links, the upstream and downstream together form a complete chain.

In the exploration of aerospace technology, the role of private enterprises is gradually becoming more important.

We have to admit that private enterprises do perform better than state-owned enterprises in terms of exploring new technologies and new fields, as well as their ability and motivation to innovate.

As long as private enterprises can make money or see the prospect of making money, private enterprises will move forward fiercely like a hungry wolf with red eyes.

"Academician Qin!" As soon as Qin Yuanqing came in, he heard someone calling him. He followed the voice and saw the alien. The alien who happened to be 60 years old this year was not as sharp as before, nor was he as sharp as before. Talkative, on the contrary, he seems quite reserved. If it weren't for his peculiar facial features and charming small eyes that exude wisdom from time to time, no one would believe that this is the alien who once dominated the era and was revered as "Young Man" by countless young people. tutor.

After retiring from Alibaba, he experienced a storm, which was so fierce that it almost submerged him and turned him into a dregs of the times. But in the end, he survived and completed the gorgeous transformation of his identity in just two years.

When people see him, they are no longer Ali’s alien, but a spokesperson for rural teachers, a philanthropist who pays attention to rural education, an entrepreneur who helps rural publicity, product packaging and sales, and a technology tycoon who actively explores space.

As the founder of MY Space Explorer, China's first company to master rocket recycling technology, Alien has been very active in aerospace activities in recent years.

"Mr. Ma!" Qin Yuanqing smiled, did not refuse the alien's hand, and shook hands with the alien. Qin Yuanqing admired this era star who could stand for nearly thirty years without falling. Maybe some of his words It doesn't sound nice, but it makes sense.

He was able to put down the e-commerce empire he created and choose to start a business for the second time, and he succeeded. This ability is admirable.

Between 2019 and 2022, the world is turbulent, and China is also undercurrent. I don’t know how many rich people have fallen, and I don’t know how many public figures have sadly disappeared without a trace. How many can continue to be active on the stage of the times? There are only a handful of them!

While the two were chatting, representatives one by one also entered the venue, such as Yu Chengdong from Warwick and Xiao Ma from Tencent. In addition to these business tycoons, there were also scholars, engineers in the aerospace field, and leaders of various related departments. .

"Academician Qin, long time no see!" An old man walked towards Qin Yuanqing with a smile. This old man was a director of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The two were also old friends and had interacted with each other many times.

"Director Ye, long time no see!" Qin Yuanqing smiled and shook hands with Director Ye, and then the two of them walked towards the first row, chatting as they walked. Of course, they did not chat about any confidential topics.

As Qin Yuanqing promoted the "Double Ring Space Station" project, China Aerospace's financial dilemma changed. In the past, China was not optimistic about the aerospace field. The annual aerospace budget was only about 2 billion US dollars, and this was the Long March, Beidou, Chang'e, Shenzhou, Tianzhou, Tiangong, etc. combined.

However, the total cost of the Apollo program in the United States reached 22.5 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 0.57% of the U.S. GDP at that time! It’s hard to calculate how much the US$22.5 billion is worth now, but at the time it was more than enough to build an aircraft carrier battle group.

This shows how expensive aerospace is!

What's more, there are still industrial heritage and engine technology accumulation... These are problems that may not be solved by spending money.

After Qin Yuanqing promoted the "Double Ring Space Station" project, everything changed drastically. More than 3 trillion yuan in special funds and more than 100 billion yuan in scientific research funding made China's aerospace funds suddenly abundant. Although this The more than 3 trillion yuan in special funds did not arrive all at once, and the more than 100 billion yuan in early scientific research funding did not arrive at once. However, it still puts China's aerospace budget directly among the top in the world, although it is still not as good as NASA's nearly two dollars per year. Tens of billions of dollars in funding, but it has already brought about earth-shaking changes to China Aerospace.

Coupled with the breakthroughs in some new technologies driven by Qin Yuanqing, China's aerospace industry has made huge progress.

It is precisely these advances that have driven the enthusiasm of private enterprises for aerospace, causing a steady flow of funds to flow into the aerospace field, and further promoting the development of China Aerospace.

"Academician Qin, are everything ready for this manned moon landing? Are there enough rockets?" Director Ye lowered his voice.

"The Long March 5 carrier rocket has been upgraded, which is enough for manned landing on the moon. You will know after a launch next month!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

The original Long March 5 launch vehicle was a one-time large-scale cryogenic liquid bundled launch vehicle developed by China in 2006 in order to meet the needs of further aerospace development and bridge the gap between China and foreign countries. It is also a new generation launch vehicle of China with a core stage diameter of 5 meters. The rocket series, Chang'e 5, Chang'e 6, and Chang'e 7 were all launched through the Long March 5.

But there is no doubt that if Chang'e 5 is used to launch the manned moon landing, only 1 or 2 people can be sent to the moon, and there is no chance of bringing anything back to the earth. Therefore, improving the Long March 5 launch vehicle has become a top priority.

After a series of efforts, China's first super-heavy launch vehicle was born, named Long March 15. This super-heavy launch vehicle has a thrust of 3,500 tons, a lunar orbit carrying capacity of 50 tons, and a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 130 tons.

It can be said that this super-heavy launch vehicle is specially used for manned moon landing projects!

According to the plan, three "Long March 15" carrier rockets will be launched this year. One is to launch a large quantum communication satellite for earth-moon information transmission, which will shorten the earth-moon information delay to 0.5 seconds. One is to arrive at the moon first with the life module and lunar rover. The third "Long March 15" carrier rocket will launch a core module in lunar orbit and establish a small space station in lunar orbit.
