My Age of Investment - Chapter 1538 new aerospace force

   Chapter 1538 New Space Forces

   Jiuquan, one of the four Hexi counties in the Han Dynasty, an important node of the Silk Road, named after "there is a spring under the city, and its water is like wine".

  In modern China, this small town that has experienced more than 2,000 years of hardships and once represented the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the Han nation has prospered again. This time, the prosperity is no longer due to the development of the land silk road, but to conquer the vast starry sky.

  Xia Jingxing did not take a private plane, but chose to take a train to Jiuquan.

He was deeply impressed by the white snow of Qilian Mountain and the magnificent scenery of Hexi Corridor along the way. Although the theme song of "Dream of Hexi Corridor" has not been released yet, it still made him feel a desolate, distant, majestic and simple. A sense of history.

  Although he did not dare to compare with the champion who has shone through the ages, he still held a strong sense of pride in winning glory for the nation during this trip, hoping to leave his name on this land in a few years.

After nearly two years of dormancy, the "Wanhu No. 1" carrier rocket, which was built by a total of 2,000 researchers from Fuxing Aerospace, has now arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center by rail. It will be on the last day of this year. It was the first launch mission of Fuxing Space on December 31.

   Xia Jing got off the train and was taken to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, also known as Dongfeng Aerospace City, by a convoy sent by Fuxing Aerospace.

  The car came all the way, and I saw the yellow sand beside the road, and there were desolate Gobi everywhere.

   But when you actually arrive at your destination, you will see a vibrant oasis.

  The location of the oasis is the core area of ​​the satellite launch base. Looking around, it looks like a dazzling pearl in the desert, with green trees, lush vegetation, and a clear and translucent artificial lake.

After being reviewed by the guards at the gate, the convoy passed through the heavily guarded gate of the base, and after driving forward for a while, it stopped steadily in front of a small building with four or five stories high, with a striking red banner hanging on the door. - Meticulous, every second is not bad.

As soon as Xia Jingxing got out of the car, he saw more than a dozen Fuxing Aerospace employees who were standing at the door to greet him. Among them were old scientists and professors who had been poached from Russia and Ukraine for a lot of money, as well as from Aerospace Science and Technology Group and Aerospace Science and Engineering. Young and middle-aged engineers hired by the Group and various aerospace colleges.

In general, Fuxing Aerospace is currently a multi-national mixed force, covering the three generations of old, middle and young generations. The main responsibility for technical control is the old experts from Russia and Ukraine. Each of them has rich experience. , has completed one after another remarkable aerospace research and development, manufacturing, and launch missions;

  The young Chinese engineers are relatively inexperienced for the time being, because those with experience are not allowed to be poached by Fuxing Aerospace, so these young people can only be temporarily responsible for the execution link and carefully accept the work guidance from old Russian and Ukrainian experts.

   In the group of technical experts, there were also several base leaders in neat military uniforms, including the base's first and second leaders, all of them were present.

   Such a high level of welcome made Xia Jingxing both surprised and pleasantly surprised, so he hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with the hosts one by one.

The leader of the    base was named Shang Hong, who looked like he was in his fifties, and his epaulette was a gold star.

   Having received orders from his superiors, he had no air at all, and shook hands with Xia Jingxing very enthusiastically, and even joked.

   "Mr. Xia, in the fifty-two years since our base was established, you are the first private company to come to us to discuss cooperation. Don't say anything, leave the launch to us, and promise to serve you well."

   "Thank you, Director Shang! You guys have helped us a lot!"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Shang Hong with a smile on his face. This time, the Wanhu-1 launch vehicle's parts transportation, final assembly, testing, launch, experiment, monitoring and other services were all outsourced to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

   For the Jiuquan Launch Center, it is the first time in history to provide such a full-process service for a private aerospace company.

   The Jiuquan Launch Center in the previous life did not complete the policy unlocking until 2016, and began to provide launch base rental services for private aerospace companies.

  Renaissance Aerospace originally wanted to build a rocket launch base by itself, because if rocket launch missions are to be carried out frequently in the future, it is the most economical choice to have a launch base of its own.

   But it didn't give approval!

   There are currently only four rocket launch bases in China, and there are also concerns about the newly established rocket launch base, which is also a launch base controlled by a private enterprise.

   For example, what if the base is not well managed and the launch fails, causing heavy casualties?

   Therefore, only a small gap has been opened in terms of policy, allowing Renaissance Aerospace to build rockets and launch rockets, but the launch must be placed under the eyes of regulators.

   Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is the partner of Fuxing Aerospace, and it is also the direct supervisory agency of Fuxing Aerospace.

   Such an arrangement made Xia Jingxing feel like he had nowhere to go!

If the above allows him to build a rocket launch base, he can set up a scientific research and supporting service team of tens of thousands of people, invest tens of billions of dollars a year, perform hundreds of launch missions, and launch hundreds of thousands of rockets a year. satellite.

   What Starlink, satellite Internet, it is not impossible to compete.

   But there is no way, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step.

  Renaissance Aerospace has not even succeeded in its first rocket launch, and the construction of a rocket launch base is indeed lacking some convincing.

   Therefore, Xia Jingxing and Fuxing Aerospace's team plan to achieve some achievements first, such as successfully launching a rocket first, ensuring the continuous successful launch of the rocket, and gaining some fame in the world...

   In this way, the above concerns are relieved little by little, and finally the purpose of building a self-built rocket launch base is achieved.

   If the rocket launch base is to be stationed in the future, it is not impossible to discuss. Fuxing Aerospace can also pay a defense fee every year.

   After shaking hands with Shang Hong and several other base leaders, Xia Jingxing turned his attention to Yaroslav Ivanovich from Ukraine, CTO of Fuxing Aerospace.

   "Mr. Ivanovich, are you ready for a new journey?"

  Ivanovich has gray hair and a full beard. He looks a little slovenly and very old, but in fact this old man is only in his early sixties.

Ivanovich, who has witnessed the most prosperous period of the Red Empire, once studied at St. Petersburg State University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. After graduating from the university, he entered the famous Southern Design Institute. He used to be the most outstanding young technical expert in the unit, what kind of labor hero medal , The Red Banner Medal is soft.

   He originally thought that he would become a leading figure in the imperial aerospace industry like countless predecessors, but when he was in his thirties, the sky fell...

  According to the separation agreement between the brothers Da Mao Er Mao San Mao Ji, he was left in the Southern Design Bureau.

   Then he watched helplessly as a group of worms and prodigal sons wiped out the rich inheritance from the empire.

  As a technician, he has nothing to do with the decline of the country. He can only do his best to maintain his one-acre and three-point land, and rely on a little order from Da Mao to maintain the final decent of the Southern Design Bureau.

   In the past two years, the energy market has fluctuated very much, and Da Mao’s life has also become hard, so the Southern Design Bureau has inevitably declined further.

   Ben has reached the retirement age and he no longer wants to worry about these bad things. Who knows that China's Fuxing Industrial Group has aimed its **** at their home and gave his eldest and younger sons, who are learning software, a high-paying job.

   Then he was persuaded by his two sons, and brought his family to China.

   To tell the truth, he likes the scientific research environment in China very much, which makes him a little uncomfortable who is used to living a poor life.

   The ambitious strategic plan of reviving the aerospace industry made him see the shadow of the former empire.

   Test rockets, one arrow with multiple stars, manned spaceflight, moon landing, Mars exploration, alien bases…

   The unfulfilled dream of my youth, when I am old, I have the opportunity to show my ambition.

   How this does not make Ivanovic ecstatic!

   He decided that he must use the platform of Fuxing Space to leave his own name in the history of world spaceflight.

At present, under his hands, a thousand Russian-Ukrainian experts and a thousand Chinese rookies have been divided into several departments and groups by him, and they are engaged in research and development while engaging in learning and training. The learning and working atmosphere is very hot, and the efficiency is also very good. Don't be slow, Wanhu-1's launch this year is the best proof.

  Ivanovich smiled at Xia Jingxing and said, "I like this kind of journey, it makes me feel like I'm back in my youth, and I'm full of energy.

  Three days later, we will witness the take-off of a new aerospace force together!

   Oh, yes, Maotai must be chosen for the celebration wine! That wine is delicious! "
