Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Relying on the foundation laid by previous collaborations, Lin Kaifeng firmly believed that the Ministry of Aerospace Industry would do its utmost to cooperate with him.

There is no difficulty in the TV station's plan to be broadcast on satellite.

At present, the development of Longguo's aerospace technology has entered the fast lane and has initially acquired the ability to compete with major Western aerospace powers.

It was only a matter of time before we surpassed the Soviet Union.

As the Soviet Union continued to decline, Lin Kaifeng had to increase his efforts to purchase weapons, equipment and industrial equipment from the Soviet Union.

We will recruit as many aerospace talents as possible.

If Lin Kaifeng is given another five to six years, Longguo's aerospace level will not only surpass Europe, but also surpass the Soviet Union in all aspects.

There is no technical difficulty in matching with the United States.

The next day, a special guest showed up at the Northern Machinery Group's Hong Kong branch.

Dong Chaoyang is one of the three vice ministers of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

He has long been responsible for the satellite navigation technology project jointly carried out by the Ministry of Industry and the Northern Machinery Group.

"Comrade Kaifeng, you are still the same as before. You either don't do anything or do something shocking."

In the office, Lin Kaifeng and Dong Chaoyang shook hands and greeted each other.

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Depending on your mood, has the leader agreed to my request?"

"Your requests are all for the development of the country, why don't the superiors agree to them?"

Dong Chaoyang joked.

"Not only have our superiors agreed to help the TV station launch a satellite, but our Ministry of Aviation Industry will also fully cooperate."

They all took their seats, and Dong Chaoyang took out the relevant documents from his bag and placed them on the coffee table.

The launch of a television satellite has been officially approved.

The Ministry of Aerospace Industry will treat this matter as a top priority.

Assist Lin Kaifeng to complete the TV broadcast within the specified time.

As for the price of the six TV satellites, Dong Chaoyang, on behalf of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, gave Lin Kaifeng a reassurance.

cost price.

"Thank you for your concern, Vice Minister Dong. Now I have nothing to worry about."

After that, Lin Kaifeng asked calmly, "What do the superiors mean by the other two things?"

Go back to a few days ago.

At the same time as Lin Kaifeng acquired the ATV TV station, he immediately reported the follow-up arrangements to the country.

The acquisition of ATV television station will increase Longguo’s voice in public opinion and influence in the international media field.

The first move has landed perfectly on the board.

Next, Lin Kaifeng has to do something big.

Established the world's first private aerospace company.

Establishing a business requires recruiting talent.

Lin Kaifeng naturally turned his attention to the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

Apply to recruit a group of experts from the existing technical experts of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry to join the company's technical department.

Help new companies develop commercial rockets and commercial satellite projects.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, you have proposed three things. The leaders have agreed to follow your ideas for the first and third things. As for the second thing, which is to establish a commercial aerospace company, we need to study it further."

Dong Chaoyang was worried that Lin Kaifeng might have other ideas, so he said tactfully, "Comrade Kaifeng, don't have other ideas. The reason why the superior didn't reply immediately is because he loves you."

"There is no precedent for establishing a private aerospace company. Even in developed Western countries, the launch of their space satellites is always controlled by the government."

"If the right to launch satellites and rockets is handed over to private companies, once there is a mistake, the impact on you and your company will be huge. In addition, investing in private aerospace companies is expensive. In addition to requiring a large number of aerospace technicians, you also need to purchase various aerospace equipment."

"You are familiar with the aerospace industry. You should know that any aerospace equipment is calculated in tens of millions of US dollars. Launching a rocket will cost at least tens of billions or even more than two billion."

To be honest, Dong Chaoyang was shocked when he learned that Lin Kaifeng wanted to set up a private aerospace company.

As one of the senior department heads, Dong Chaoyang has a certain understanding of what Lin Kaifeng has done over the years.

I also know that Lin Kaifeng is used to being imaginative and does things without following common etiquette.

To Lin Kaifeng, any earth-shattering and unbelievable thing is nothing.

Being able to sell dozens of ballistic missiles to desert tycoons at staggering prices, what else can stop Lin Kaifeng?

But then again.

There is really no precedent for establishing a private aerospace company.

Even in Europe and the United States, where capital is highly developed, there is not a single privately controlled aerospace company.

"Alas, I thought it was simple. It seems that I need to have a face-to-face meeting with the old leader to make things go smoothly."

Lin Kaifeng was somewhat disappointed to learn that the higher-ups had not made a decision, but he could understand it.

This time, the step was indeed a bit big.

It was not until the 21st century that sporadic private aerospace companies began to emerge in various countries.

Musk, the well-known commercial aerospace giant, also emerged at that time.

What time is it now?

Mid-eighties.

The current aerospace field is still a competitive arena between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Star Wars plan formulated by the United States is mainly aimed at the space field.

Trying to lead the Soviet Union into a competition scam that would only burn money but produce no results.

"Deputy Minister Dong, I will further refine this idea, but from the current situation, establishing a private aerospace company will be of great help in improving the country's aerospace capabilities."

After calming down, Lin Kaifeng described to Dong Chaoyang the contributions that commercial aerospace companies could make in the aerospace field.

Countless facts in later generations have proved that commercial space agencies and national space ministries have a mutually reinforcing relationship.

The commercial space market is a blue ocean market with huge profits that can drive the rapid development of other industries.

Lin Kaifeng remembers it clearly.

In the few years before his death, Longguo completed 214 commercial space launches with a launch success rate of 98%.

It has launched more than 200 commercial satellites for numerous commercial enterprises around the world.

It has surpassed the United States to become the country launching the most commercial satellites.

"You are an old leader of the aerospace department. Let me do the math for you. After listening to me, you will understand whether it is cost-effective to establish an aerospace company."

Lin Kaifeng took out paper and pen and wrote a few lines on the paper.

The commercial aerospace sector, like other sectors, has upstream and downstream industrial chains.

After writing about the upstream and downstream industrial chains, Lin Kaifeng wrote about the midstream industrial chain.

Including a series of developments driven by the research and manufacturing of spacecraft, rockets, satellites, and space capsule launches.

Communications, navigation, space observation, and flat-orbit resource occupation.

"Wait a minute, the horizontal orbit resources you mentioned are referring to the low-altitude area, right?"

Dong Chaoyang heard the areas in which he was good at from Lin Kaifeng's words.

Low Earth Orbit Satellite Technology.
