Chapter 834: Commercialization and scale

The group quickly arrived at the Shuttle Assembly Center. 35xs
The factory building located in the center of the entire assembly center is the birthplace of the Xiangrui, and it is also the cradle of a series of spacecraft produced by Xingkong Technology.
At this moment, in this huge workshop, a long metal hull is lying horizontally. The reason it is called a hull is that this huge volume is really like a nuclear submarine, not a spacecraft sailing in outer space.
Because the narrow hull could not bear its own gravity, the whole hull was divided into three sections, which were suspended by a solid mechanical skeleton.
From the moment he walked into the factory building, the Russian delegation was like Liu Ye entering the Grand View Garden.
Mr. Gruceev and the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Economic Development are okay. Those aerospace experts who followed the mission of the Ministry of Economic Development to France went to France to see the respect of the Yuqiao bridge. That thing is above.
In particular, Professor Kaufman, an expert of the Russian Aerospace Group Corporation and an academician of the Russian Academy of Engineering, who has been behind Grudev, was surprised that his chin could not wait to fall to the ground.
The Russian delegation stood by the behemoth for five minutes, and Grugev sighed in awe.
"It's incredible ... is this your spaceship?"
"Qiaoqiao," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "If you call it a spaceship, that's right. Sometimes I look at this stuff and I think it is more like a ship than a spacecraft."
At this time, Academician Kauffman, who was standing next to Grugev and had not spoken, could not help but finally speak.
"Such a large ship ... how are you going to get into space. 35xs"
As soon as this sentence was asked, many Chinese personnel standing next to them suddenly became tense.
The visit is a visit, but when it comes to the technical level, everyone must be holding tight.
Minister Yang is about to come forward and make a round of the field to take this topic in another direction, but seeing Lu Zhou's reassuring look at him, he just stopped talking.
Looking at the enthusiastic Kaufman academician, Lu Zhou smiled lightly and said, "We fired in three launches, first the command module, then the warehouse, and finally the engine, and then docked and assembled in outer space."
Although it was an understatement, the Russian experts were shocked after hearing it.
Spacecraft docking has always been a difficult point in space technology. The more components that need to be docked, the higher the risk of the entire launch process. At present, the more mature docking technology in the world has only split the spacecraft into two parts and launched it to Outer space rendezvous and docking.
However, Lu Zhou's words told him that Hua Guo has now been able to disassemble a spacecraft into three parts of the head and tail and launch them into outer space to get together, even Minister Grudev. At this moment, a shocked expression appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect that your launch technology has reached such a level ..." Looking at the No. 躺在 bridge lying on the stand, Grugev's face was filled with complex expressions. "I can ask, it uses Is it an electric propulsion system? "
Lu Zhou: "Electric propulsion systems are the future trend. The market in outer space does not need a lot of thrust to complete. The advantages of chemical rockets ... come to an end near the edge of the gravity well."
Grudev and the academician Kaufman stood next to each other, exchanging the shock in his eyes for a moment. Flash Dance Network 35xs
Minister Yang of the Ministry of Commerce gave a cough, smiled friendly, and stepped forward and said.
"This is the end of the Space Shuttle Assembly Center visit. There are many outstanding companies in our space industry park looking forward to cooperating with you."
"It's also true that it has been a long time to spend with Starry Sky Technology," Grugev said with a smile, and continued. "Then please invite Minister Yang to take us on a tour, and other outstanding companies in your country will be fine."
On the rest of the way, Grugev appeared to be a bit lacking in interest, and the experts from Russia who followed him also became critical.
Although there are many excellent aerospace companies in the aerospace industrial park, none of them can reach the level of starry sky technology. Some of them are huge. The scale of the park alone is several times larger than the factory of Xingkong Technology, but the technical aspect is lacking. No matter how advanced the production equipment or the products are. Some of them have some groundbreaking and even bright technology, but the company's physical weight is not large, and in the sky, it can only be achieved as a supplier of accessories, and it will not be a great climate.
But after discovering this, Grugev was relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, there is only one star technology.
If there is another aerospace company that has both research and development capabilities and strong production capacity, the strength of China's aerospace industry is too scary ...
For the rest of the trip, Lu Zhou did not accompany the Russian delegation, but at the diplomatic banquet held at the Purple Mountain Hotel in the evening, Lu Zhou, the chief designer of the Lunar Orbit Construction Commission, had to look back.
The banquet is in Chinese style.
Although sitting at the same table with Grudev and Minister Yang, Lu Zhou didn't talk very much during the meal.
He is not very good at this special formal banquet occasion. Unless someone takes the initiative to talk to himself, he will not take the initiative to speak. Instead, he will devote almost half of his attention to the delicious food on the table.
However, Minister Grugev, who was shocked by the technology of Starry Sky Technology in the morning, apparently did not intend to let him go so easily, and he always talked to him during the meeting.
"In fact, I have always been curious. The aerospace industry is not a strong area of ​​China, but it has developed so rapidly in recent years. Can you tell us how you did it?"
He didn't specifically avoid this problem. Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Find a direction and make it the best."
Grugev made a helpless expression and raised his wine glass.
"This sounds too abstract."
"It depends on how you understand it." I met a cup with Minister Grudev, Lu Zhou took a sip and continued, "The so-called direction is also how to find our way. This is a scientific researcher. It ’s a great honour that the experts we work with are very good scholars. With their help, I have solved many problems. "
Grugev asked with interest: "What's the best to do?"
"Sufficient funding, or to put it more concretely, this is national execution," Lu Zhou continued. "Or more generally, it is to focus on major tasks and allocate limited resources to the right place. At present, space The main problems faced by the industry are commercialization and scale-up. Www.EbookFREE.me ~ The former decides the way out, and the latter determines the cost. By concentrating our efforts on major issues, we have solved the problem of scale. The next step is commercialization. How to cooperate with other countries and how to guide private capital into this field will become our main task. "
"Scaling up first, are you commercializing it?" Grugev asked with a smile. "But does it violate the objective laws of the market economy?"
"This question will be benevolent, and wise will see wisdom," Lu Zhou smiled slightly, and asked, "The Queen of Spain funded Columbus's voyage, and finally found a new continent. I would like to ask Mr. Grudeev if this is in line with the market. Objective laws of the economy? "
Gruev replied: "This question is very interesting, maybe it doesn't fit ... but is there a connection?"
"Of course there is a connection. The ultimate goal of the aerospace industry is to get out of our homeland and open up our living space, and this is essentially the same thing as discovering the new continent," Lu Zhou raised his glass, again with Minister Grudeev gently. After hitting the next cup, he continued, "The market is a catalyst for social development, but not everything is developed in accordance with the laws of the market, at least mathematics has never been."
"Hahaha, your point is very interesting," sips the red wine in the glass, Minister Gruzeev smiled boldly, and watched Lu Zhou send a sincere invitation, "If I have the opportunity, I sincerely invite You can go to Russia as a guest, and Moscow scholars will certainly be willing to discuss this issue with you in depth. "
Lu Zhou said with a smile: "There will be opportunities. If things go well, I may go to St. Petersburg next year to attend the International Mathematics Congress."
Minister Grudeev solemnly promised: "If you do arrive, we will definitely hold a grand welcome ceremony for you and witness the friendship between the two scholars!"
