The supply of the International Space Station is not only an international obligation of several space powers, but also a good opportunity for countries to develop their own aerospace science and technology.
Only by making profits from these tens of billions of rubles can the country's aerospace companies have the money to develop new aero engines and improve existing launch technologies.
Contracting to Starring Trade can certainly reduce the fiscal budget in this regard, but it is undoubtedly bad news for the domestic aerospace companies.
After all, there are so many launch plans every year. Except for the US X-Space that can make money on commercial launches, most space companies rely on national projects to support them.
What Natasha said was also what the Russian leader meant.
If Starring Trade intends to sell rockets, Russia will certainly be happy to buy it, but if Starring Trade only intends to contract launch projects, there is no need to talk about it.
Don't you plan to listen to the price here?Jiang Chen said helplessly.
Natasha shook her head.
The Kremlin will not nod, even if the price you offer is very attractive.
Somewhat difficult to deal with.
However, Natasha's words are not unreasonable. If we consider this issue from the perspective of cost savings, why don't the Russians outsource the project to the US X-Space?
The Falcon Rocket, which has the first-stage rocket recovery technology, can compress the launch cost to a terrifying number.
Although this matter seems undiscussed, Jiang Chen has never been the kind of person who will give up easily.
After pondering for a moment, he spoke.
Don't you really want to talk about the price?I mean the RM-320 rocket engine.
I said this without any reason... Wait, what did you say?!Natasha suddenly froze and looked at Jiang Chen in shock.
Am I not clear enough?Price of RM-320 rocket engine.Jiang Chen smiled.
Putting away the shock between his eyebrows, Natasha looked at Jiang Chen quietly and said quickly.
What do you want?
According to the materials submitted by Star Ring Trade and the observations of Russian experts, the performance of the RM-320 rocket engine is more than one level higher than the RD-180 that Russia is proud of.
Even the Merlin 1D engine of the X-Space cannot match it.
The combustion chamber that can withstand 500 atmospheric pressure and a push-value ratio of 1:300, the production cost is only one-half of that of the Russian RD-180!
The Russian Aerospace Corporation has proposed to the Kremlin more than once that it hopes to order a batch of RM-320 rocket engines to return with the friendly relations between Russia and the new country.
Although it may not be imitated, at least some of the designs can be learned from.
Natasha never thought that Jiang Chen would agree to sell the engine, so she didn't mention it at all.
Happiness comes so suddenly!
Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha for a moment and said in a playful tone, "You guess?"
Facing the unconcealed gaze, two red clouds rose on Natasha's cheeks, but soon noticed the joke in her sight and glared at Jiang Chen fiercely.
I can't guess.
Jiang Chen stretched out five fingers.
Five years.Within five years, Russia's International Space Station Resupply Project was contracted by Star Ring Trade. Five years later, we will sell samples and design drawings of the RM-320 rocket engine to Russian Aerospace at market prices.
It is really cost-effective to exchange an outdated technology with a five-year contract.
As for why it is outdated, it is naturally because when the space elevator is drawn out by Jiang Chen, all rocket launch technology will be outdated.
With the emergence of space elevators, the launch cost of tens of millions of dollars will be directly compressed to hundreds of dollars.This is also the reason why launch vehicle technology was completely stopped at the end of the 21st century.
...I can't give you an answer, I have to ask my superiors first.Natasha said with difficulty.
Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation.
Natasha nodded, walked aside and took out her cell phone and dialed it to the KGB headquarters far away in Moscow.
After calling the phone for a long time, she suddenly looked shaking and walked to Jiang Chen with the phone in her hand.
Our superiors hope to discuss with you in person.
After saying that, she handed the phone to Jiang Chen and took two steps back.
He put his phone in his ear, and before Jiang Chen could speak, English with heavy Russian accent came from there.
Up to three years.
This sound sounds a bit familiar, but Jiang Chen couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.
Three years is too short.
We have to consider the technology replacement.
You can rest assured that this is, let alone five years, even eight years later, the RM-320 engine can still maintain its lead.Jiang Chen replied in a positive tone.
The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds.
Three years, three years later you will sell us the RM-320 engine technology.We outsourced the supply mission of the International Space Station to you for eight years at a price of 40 billion rubles.
make a deal!Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
Although the expression on his face had not changed at all, Jiang Chen was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
40 billion rubles are about 600 million US dollars, and he can get out the space elevator in at most two years. At that time, the cost of transporting supplies to the space station can even be reduced to one million!
This is not about the US dollar, or the ruble...
It seems we have reached an agreement.After receiving Jiang Chen's affirmative answer, the voices on the other side were obviously much more relaxed, and he did not realize that he had been cheated.
I always feel that your voice sounds familiar. Before hanging up the phone, can you ask who you are?Jiang Chen said happily without blushing.
Didn't our agent tell you?
She only told me that you are their superior.Speaking of this, Jiang Chen was suddenly stunned.
Wait, Natasha uses us, not my superiors.
The opposite side was silent for a moment and spoke in a relaxed tone.
You can call me Pujin.If you have the chance, welcome to visit Moscow...
Holding the phone in his hand, Jiang Chen was stunned.
Wait, is the Russian President who just talked to me about business?!
And I even cheated him?!
……
The 12th quantum satellite was successfully launched, and Star Ring Trade announced that it will provide paid Wi-Fi services to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Morocco, Malay and other countries.
According to the cooperation project with local telecom operators, users who have handled the service can get 12 hours of Wi-Fi experience time.
After the experience time is exhausted, users can apply for service packages with different network speeds depending on the region they are located in.
Currently, Star Ring Trade is discussing cooperation with telecom operators in the United States, Canada, Britain, France and other countries, and considering promoting global Wi-Fi to North America and Western Europe.
On the other hand, the war between the Future Group and the Boston Consortium continues.
However, neither side made any new moves, but they were in a stalemate in the area where they had already made moves.
The U.S. Department of Justice is still collecting evidence on antitrust investigations, while the Boston consortium is still busy saving the bank's fire.
What's more troublesome is that Websense, which provides security services to Boston Bank, has comprehensively upgraded its server firewall and targeted upgrades to the defense of hacker attacks.
According to Xie Lei, the security system after Boston Bank's upgraded was like an iron barrel, and the original loopholes were basically filled.
Unless you can get an internal computer as a backdoor, even if there is a quantum computer as a broiler, it will no longer be so easy to hack remotely.
After all, they have so many technicians, and they are not just a waste of time.
On the other hand, Jian collected news about the two companies on the Internet, and then summarized it before Jiang Chen.
The Federal Reserve injects $100 billion into Boston's First National Bank.The Pentagon convenes several cybersecurity companies to hold an Internet security summit.Information security in the financial field is the focus of the summit discussion.
The Federal Reserve actually took action, and it seems that Boston Bank has been stable for the time being.Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
Just as he was thinking about how to go next, Jiang Shuying's phone suddenly called.
Hello?What's up?
Someone is looking for you, I hope to talk to you in person.
who?
Carson Rocky, a shareholder of Boston First National Bank.
