Super technology leader

Chapter 14 9 degrees north latitude

The docking team discussed with the rear command and found that this has been done!

Well, the tone is decided, and the atmosphere will be much more relaxed.

As soon as the rocket experts heard the news, they stopped looking at the engine and immediately sat down to eat hot pot.

For six people, one person just ate a few bites and finished a pot of meat and vegetables. Not only did they not eat enough, but they caught the hungry bugs and became hungry.

If it's not for fear that they won't agree, they don't have to touch the engine in a hurry. If they don't agree, they should also look at and touch them a few more times, so that domestic aerospace science and technology will avoid a few detours.

Now that the discussion is over, then ~ don't worry.

It's not easy to go back to the Academy of Engineering to study detailed information here.

However, the cooperation intention was set, and the details still need to be discussed. Tang Chao also knew his disadvantages, so he didn't talk about too professional details at all.

He only put forward his own requirements and only talked about the grand strategy, and let the docking team and all the experts behind to worry about the rest.

"We want to develop commercial aerospace, the platform is definitely very important, so we plan to build the company in Jiangkou City, which is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and an international metropolis, which is in line with our strategic definition."

"Of course, we don't want the places in the city center that are just a bit more expensive. It doesn't matter if it is a little remote, but there must be no shortage of supporting facilities around."

“It’s best to be by the sea, and build a wharf to facilitate the maritime transportation of large equipment. There is also an airstrip for our spacecraft to take off from above. By the way, in this case, I have to apply for several routes towards the East China Sea. For..."

The team members felt something wrong when they listened. What did they hear just now?

The spacecraft takes off from the runway?

The rocket expert who was familiar with Professor Zhang immediately gave Professor Zhang a look. Professor Zhang understood in seconds, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of greens into his bowl, and then asked casually while dipping the ingredients: "So, Does your organization have aerospace aircraft technology?"

"When... Of course impossible."

Tang Chao, who was talking positively, almost licked his lips, realized that something was wrong, and quickly closed it, and then launched the advanced version of the "Speak and Say Half" skill "Blind Jiba Talk".

"Air and space aircraft technology is of course the focus of our research. After all, it is one of the hottest aerospace in the future, but we don’t have the kind of technology that can fly freely in and outside the atmosphere. It is just a direct connection. The technology of SSTO's winged aircraft is promising."

"This kind of technology that pushes a lot of dead weight to the sky is not cost-effective for transporting goods. Fortunately, we didn't want to use this technology to transport goods. Our goal is to carry people."

"Although there are several companies working on manned space projects, they still think about technology and cost. They only want to send passengers to space and do not consider the problem from the perspective of passengers."

"Why do you think about it from the perspective of passengers, from the perspective of ordinary passengers, is it that a spacecraft that throws a rocket at a time, then a rocket at another, and a spacecraft that throws something away after a while looks reassuring?"

"Or the kind of intact spacecraft that takes off from the ground and enters orbit like a plane that has been taken many times is reassuring?"

After hearing what Tang Chao said about this, several aerospace chiefs thought to themselves, "You don't need to think about it from the perspective of ordinary passengers. From the perspective of rocket experts, it is also a complete spacecraft safety."

Because every time the rocket is separated, there is a chance of failure. There have been many accidents due to separation failures in the history of aerospace.

Moreover, the re-entry of the "tinned can" and the re-entry of the winged aircraft are two concepts. The reentry of the latter is much smoother and very friendly to passengers.

But knowing it is still a technical problem.

As long as the technology arrives, anything will do.

Just like the original space shuttle, it was a very good idea, but the idea was too good. The technical level at the time was not up to the standard, and in the end it was not as simple and crude as the rocket.

Moreover, the group members present felt that Tang Chao was very slippery, without a word of truth in his mouth, don't think they didn't hear the pause just now.

"The technological strength of his organization is too high."

Of course, in fact, they didn't know whether Tang Chao was telling the truth or lies, but since Tang Chao can come up with the full set of Long March 9 techniques, they need to analyze and analyze any words he said!

No way, too important.

And Tang Chao looked at the contemplative appearance of the big guys and felt very interesting, because he had thought of sitting with some big guys and chatting and laughing many times.

Nothing else, just the simple dreams of some little people, Xiao Mengxin's yearning for being a leader.

For example, when he wanted to be an astronaut in elementary school, he fantasized about going into space with hero astronauts to perform missions.

For example, when he was learning to paint, he also imagined the scene of exchanging painting skills with those famous international painters.

For another example, when he saw a foreign private aerospace company whizzing a rocket, he couldn't wait to launch a large rocket by himself.

And now, it has been realized.

Not only was his aerospace company on the agenda, he really sat here chatting and laughing with a number of bigwigs, and bluffed them for a while.

This situation is still very interesting. It satisfies his...low taste.

After talking about the comprehensive company headquarters, he talked about the launch site.

According to his ideas, or the internationally recognized truth, the location of the space launch site is as close to the equator as possible, and the closest place to the equator in Tianxia is Zhanghai at the southern end of the territory, so he wants to build the launch site in Zhanghai... …Southern end.

It just so happened that Tianxia filled many islands in the sea, and he took a fancy to one of them-Sweet Potato Island.

Its predecessor was Sweet Potato Reef, which was oblong in shape, like a sweet potato, so it got its name.

There are many reasons for choosing it. For example, it is large enough to build complete large-scale facilities, and there are already enough living communities on it, including residential areas, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, airports, vegetable gardens, etc.

Its location is also very important, within 10 degrees north latitude, very close to the equator.

Moreover, there are many ships passing by on the busy main international shipping route.

Naturally, Tianxia has positioned it as a material distribution center, which can provide services such as ship docking, cargo transshipment, material supply and maritime rescue.

This convenient transportation is too important for commercial space launches.

These things are under construction, and fortunately they haven't been built yet, otherwise there would be no place for Tang Chao.

After such a large artificial island is built, it will definitely need to attract investment, so let him be the first one.

However, the order received by the docking team is that the more money is saved, the better, so Xiao Zhao asked whether the services of the Binhai Launch Site could be used instead.

The reason is that the Binhai Launch Site is currently the southernmost launch site of Tianxia, ​​and its latitude is also very low. It is one of the few low-latitude launch sites in the world.

Moreover, the supporting facilities are very complete, and the staff is experienced, ready to launch the spacecraft.

They promised that the launch missions of the Tang Chao team are all free, and that any link will be handled by the most experienced technicians.

Basically, Tang Chao's team said "I want to launch a spacecraft" and the spacecraft and payload have been prepared. The country will be responsible for transporting them out of the factory and then to space.

For the average company, this condition is simply tempting and can no longer be tempting.

Not only did it save money and save money, it also didn't have to deal with troubles, let alone wait for the launch site to be built, but Tang Chao wanted to start a non-common company, so he didn't accept it.

In fact, he can understand the meaning of the above.

There are currently four aerospace launch centers in China. It is said that a purely commercial launch site will be built. However, there are not so many launch missions in the country. As a result, the launch base is idle for most of the time, so they do not want to spend money to build a space. Launch center.

It's just that Tang Chao really needs such a private launch center, so he resorted to a killer move-He Zong Lian Heng.

"Although the Binhai launch site is good, it is located at 19 degrees north latitude, and with other supporting facilities, it is basically one of the best launch centers in the world, but I still insist on building a launch site on Sweet Potato Island. We also promised, This space launch center can undertake national launch missions."

"And you can just ask all the big astronauts, do they want a space launch center at 9 degrees north latitude?"

Xiao Zhao heard that he looked at the aerospace bosses next to him, but the bosses didn't say anything, just smiled.

That meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Hehehehe~"
