Chapter 574 Civil
The emergence of electric field synthesis and the continuous achievements of Xie Qing's team have allowed the Suiren Group to see its great value.
In early March, Huang Xiuyuan approved an investment of 8 billion yuan to establish three electric field laboratories in Qinhuangdao, Shanmei, and Australia.
Obviously, Huang Xiuyuan also saw the great value in it.
The replacement chemical synthesis of electric fields alone has the potential to achieve large-scale low-cost production, and it can also violently synthesize some new compounds, which is very important to promote the development of new materials.
The wealthy Suiren system naturally did not stingy and directly spent 8 billion yuan, hoping to accelerate the development of electric field synthesis technology.
Now the development of Greater China has become very stable on the surface, and it is constantly increasing investment in education, as if it is filling in the foundation.
But in fact, a lot of scientific research projects have been launched secretly, and many of them have no relevant records even internal documents.
In 2014, the total funding of various projects in the aerospace field has reached 377.2 billion yuan; this year, this figure will further increase, and the annual funding is expected to exceed 400 billion yuan.
With the launch cost technology of Aerospace Science and Technology, the launch cost per kilogram of payload is now 237 Huayuan, and Eagle Aerospace is almost in this range.
With its low cost and high efficiency in China, such a huge investment can be at least comparable to 1.2 trillion meters.
The Mi Yuan here refers to the Mi Yuan before the collapse.
With the support of huge funds, the aerospace industry in Greater China has developed rapidly, currently with two space stations and a one-month base.
In addition, 27 related probes were launched to Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and the asteroid belt.
Faced with such a huge aerospace investment in Greater China, major forces around the world have also been pulled into the aerospace competition.
In early February this year, Lucia and the Western Union finally reached a preliminary agreement, planning to invest 43 billion yuan (about 127.5 billion Chinese yuan) in the aerospace field in the next five years.
Noah's Association has also put all its efforts into investing 800 billion meters (about 2.3 trillion Chinese yuan) in the aerospace field by 2020.
Among the other small forces, Tianzhu began to be unable to keep up and could only barely take out 800 million meters of dollars. As for the other small shrimps, they were even less money.
However, although Huang Xiuyuan paid close attention to the huge investments of Noah's Association and the Western Union, he was not too worried.
There are many internal problems with the Western Union and Noah Society, especially now that many projects are launched in a hurry, resulting in the aerospace system taking up so much hot money at once, and there are general chaos, overlapping and disputes between projects.
The inflation of Mi Yuan and Spanish Yuan further weakened their actual investment.
Huang Xiuyuan and the Strategic Think Tank have estimated the aerospace investment situation of these forces.
Even if Musk's space exploration company has lowered the launch cost to 6,500 meters per kilogram (the impact of inflation is equivalent to about 2,400 meters before the collapse), they still find it difficult to compete with Eagle Aerospace and Aerospace Science and Technology.
The gap in launch costs between the two sides has now widened by about 1:26.
This is a very huge gap.
It is equivalent to the launch of a satellite by Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and the cost is only 126 for NASA. In this case, NASA has to grit its teeth and follow up.
Huang Xiuyuan didn't know whether NASA would collapse, but the Xizhou Space Administration was getting faster. Even if it cooperated with Lucia, it barely lowered the cost and improved some efficiency, the Xizhou Alliance still faced huge economic pressure.
After spending 43 billion yuan in five years, it was the joint meeting of the Western Union. It was only after the joint cooperation between the three giants Gaul, Britain and Germany that they gritted their teeth and took out their old capital.
If the economy does not improve in the next few years, the consequence may be the direct economic collapse of the Western Union.
Huang Xiuyuan has learned about the serious economic problems of the Western Union through the Ministry of Security.
There is no idea of raising a tiger in China. Many cooperative projects are about keeping the other party from dying too quickly, rather than pulling them up.
Moreover, the areas that are supported are deliberately buried and specifically support several areas with good relationships, while other areas treat differently and even secretly suppress them.
The internal contradictions in the Western Union are now very sharp, and the differences between Western and Southeast Europe are becoming increasingly serious.
In the aerospace field, if other forces cannot achieve leapfrog development of technology in a short period of time, then they will increase their investment with current aerospace technology and not only cannot keep up, but may even drag themselves down.
But in the face of such open conspiracy, other forces really don’t have many solutions.
After Huang Xiuyuan inspected Mobei Aerospace City, he hurried back to the headquarters and had a small meeting with Jiang Hailin, Lu Xuedong, Lin Baijie and others.
Lu Xuedong, who had just returned from Australia, said with a smile: "How is the situation in Mobei?"
"It's okay. The weather is better in a few days. Choose a window to launch it." Huang Xiuyuan took a sip of tea and continued:
"This small meeting, I mainly do it for the aerospace project."
Jiang Hailin seemed to have guessed something: "Xuyuan, are you planning to promote the economicization of the aerospace industry?"
“Yes, our investment is too big and we have to make some adjustments instead of blindly spending money.”
Lin Baijie thought for a while: "It may be difficult to make the aerospace industry produce direct economic benefits."
Everyone did not refute Lin Baijie's words. Even if the launch cost is very low now, the aerospace industry is still an industry that is separated from real life.
For example, how many people can afford the so-called space tourism? 850,000 yuan can go back and forth to the Tiangong Space Station, but only 5 tickets were sold last year.
Other clothes, toys, space food, etc. are just small industries.
Huang Xiuyuan set a tone: "Now we can only start with technology feedback."
Turn on the projector and project various cutting-edge technologies in the current aerospace field onto a large screen.
Everyone discussed one by one, discussing the technologies that can be applied to commercialization, especially new materials. In fact, there are many technologies that can be commercialized.
For example, in order to achieve lightweight space suits, it is invested in various new materials. Some of these materials, with relatively low production costs, can be fully applied to people's daily clothing.
Three generations of space suits have been developed, and after being equipped with a survival system, the overall weight is 23.47 kg, which is the weight of the extra-cabin suit.
Compared with the old-fashioned off-cabin spacesuit, it is not only lighter, but also much cheaper. The cost of one set is about 120,000 yuan.
Currently, Eagle Aerospace has produced 50 sets of extra-cabin clothing, and Aerospace Science and Technology has also produced 80 sets.
Reducing weight and reducing production costs is only part of the advantages of the new off-cabin spacesuit. The real advantage is the lightweight and small size of various auxiliary equipment.
For example, the most important internal gas system in the outer cabin spacesuit uses oxygen sponge technology, carbon dioxide-oxygen and carbon cycle technology.
There are also micro thermoelectric temperature control systems and micro nuclear battery systems, which are integrated into this space suit.
The new oxygen sponge tank is only equivalent to an ordinary thermos, but it can store 5 kilograms of pure oxygen. This is a good technology for some industries that require carrying oxygen cylinders.
Moreover, oxygen sponge tanks have another characteristic, which is that they do not require high-pressure storage, low-temperature storage, and are not prone to out-of-control volatility.
