Chapter 1393: Profitable Aerospace Project

"Some of our original plans can also use this opportunity to accelerate their development." Qin Guan said: "Our first plan is satellite navigation."
Last time, Qin Guan had discussed the issue of satellite navigation systems with the veterans of the aerospace industry. At that time, Qin Guan's proposal was only a preliminary idea. Now, it can start.
Aerospace is not entirely high-input, non-output, and there is a great market prospect in satellite navigation systems.
Looking at later generations, you will know that as a driver who is not familiar with the road, it is almost impossible to move without navigation. The terrible overpass, I am afraid that the old driver, without satellite navigation, it is difficult to find the route accurately.
However, it does not charge any fees. Baidu navigation and AutoNavi navigation on mobile phones are all free. How can it make a profit?
Of course, it is the profit of the entire industry. Qin Guan knew this very well in his mind.
The entire satellite navigation and positioning is a systematic industry!
Satellite navigation serves the military, but soon it will penetrate into all aspects of military, security, and economic fields. It will fundamentally change the working methods of traditional industries such as aviation, navigation, surveying and mapping, and mechanical control. An emerging industry-satellite navigation and positioning industry.
It should be regarded as a service industry, mainly providing location, speed, and time information for navigation and timing.
Apart from other things, just equipment is a huge market. If you want to locate, you can have specialized equipment, or it can be additional equipment such as mobile phones and tablets. In short, you must have the corresponding chip.
This chip is confidential. Outside downstream manufacturers can purchase the chip and know the connection of the peripheral circuit, and then apply it. However, the production of the chip must be kept confidential. Just selling the chip is a huge income.
This chip, of course, can only be produced by a few manufacturers. For Han Guo, it must be Hanxin Technology.
The traditional aerospace industry is the will of the country and a project that burns money. However, if it operates well, it can also embark on a healthy development track.
Now, Qin Guan mentioned this project to Major Yang. At the same time, Qin Guan knew that it was still unclear if he relied on Major Yang himself. In other words, he had to work hard to write a special aerospace industry report for Major Yang. Handed over to superiors, Qin Guan believes that seizing this opportunity and working hard to develop the country's aviation industry will still have great benefits.
Now, just at the beginning of Star Wars, it's also good for a wave of heat.
The first project is satellite navigation. This project is now ready to be officially launched.
Major Yang nodded.
"The second project is to promote to the international market and undertake satellite launch missions in the international market." Qin Guan said: "The Star Wars program will definitely stimulate some countries, and they also want to demonstrate their presence in space. But without the launch capability, we can help them lift off and participate in this space war together."
The country is reforming, and military aircraft are being sold abroad. In the aerospace sector, reforms must also be made to undertake external launch missions so that aerospace can also become a profitable industry.
Qin Guan also talked about this proposal in the past. Of course, for specific projects, I am afraid that Qin Guan will have to do it to fool some countries into launching satellites and earn their money. This will be a new project of the North Industries Corporation in the future.
Major Yang nodded.
"Third, at an appropriate time, launch our next-generation high-thrust rocket project and launch a manned space program."
When Qin Guan said this, Major Yang was shocked. No, this is the end?
It shouldn't.
Are these two profitable projects? The rest will require massive investment?
"What if we build a satellite communication network to supply the civilian market?" Major Yang remembered something, and he began to offer suggestions.
Now, Qin Guan attaches great importance to mobile communications. He has successfully promoted mobile phones to Sheep Country. There will be more countries in the future. So, can a satellite call system be established to enter the civilian market to make money?
Ideals are full, reality is very skinny, relying on the operation of the civilian market to feed a satellite phone is absolutely impossible, Qin Guan is not so optimistic.
Qin Guan is forward-looking, and his forward-looking comes from his experience in another time and space, satellite phones, making money is not easy.
In this regard, the Iridium system is the best proof.
Iridium mobile communication system is a global satellite mobile communication system designed by Eagle Country Iridium Corporation commissioned by Motorola. It can dial and receive telephone signals from any place on the earth through the use of satellite handheld phones. .
Compared with cellular mobile phones, the biggest difference is that it does not rely on ground networks, but space.
On the ground, the quality of mobile phones depends on the construction of signal towers. Where the signal towers are not covered, there will be no signal. In those remote mountainous areas and no-man’s areas, there will be no signal, but there is still a need for communication. .
This is the goal of Iridium.
Unfortunately, this is the final disillusionment.
When the plan was launched, the mobile communication network was not stable and the coverage was not wide. However, it took ten years for the entire Iridium system to build a network. In these ten years, the mobile network has been developing rapidly.
In only ten years, most cities, suburban countryside, traffic arteries, and tourist attractions are covered by terrestrial networks, and even mobile phones have begun to roam internationally. In this case, the number of satellite phone users is rapidly decreasing. , It needs at least 500,000 users to make a profit, but in fact, when the users are the most, it does not exceed 50,000.
The end-century science and technology fairy tales woven by 66 high-tech satellites, in order to show their "aristocratic technology". The price of Iridium mobile phones is as high as 3000 yuan per unit, plus high call charges. This made its users quite scarce, and eventually Iridium went bankrupt.
Later, although it finally achieved profitability, it was also because the Eagle Nation military took over. Otherwise, it would have gone bankrupt and liquidated. Qin Guan would not wade in this muddy water.
There are not many profitable aspects. One satellite navigation and one commercial launch are enough. Now, what Qin Guan cares more about is the development of manned spaceflight and the development of high-thrust rockets.
After all, these two aspects are our own shortcomings. If you want to quickly make up for the shortcomings, of course you still rely on your own system!
Thinking of this, Qin Guan was itchy. After the disintegration of Xiong Country, there were a lot of good things. They must be brought over through the cemetery.
For example, the Blizzard!
