Chapter 431: 10th Anniversary Celebration
Yesterday's test flight, Japan successfully concluded, is definitely a milestone in the history of human spaceflight. Its significance is no less than that of the successful launch of the first artificial satellite and the first manned spaceflight.
Cheap transportation costs and huge carrying capacity are the basis for expanding space exploration and more frequent space activities. The news of the successful test flight of "Yuntian-1" is like a hurricane sweeping the global aerospace world, and aerospace people at home and abroad are sensational.
The "global hurricane" swept away by "Yuntian 1" has not yet dissipated, and the subsequent influence of the incident is continuing to ferment.
Just in terms of effective load, it only takes two round trips to send a mass station of international space to space, and it can be handled in one day. The International Space Station took decades to go ahead and back.
This efficiency is unimaginable for any astronaut, and he also knows very well what it means.
Another one is transportation cost. Why does Elon Musk engage in rocket recycling? What is really expensive about a rocket is not fuel propellant, but engine engines.
This is reflected in "Yuntian 1". The total cost of the main and secondary engine modules on the transport aircraft cost 16.7 billion yuan, which is 2.6 billion US dollars to exchange for US dollars. How much is the cost of a 058D large drive?
This is also the biggest reason why Li Chuan took off vertically when designing and developing "Yuntian 1", because only one main engine is needed. If it is horizontal, just one pair of main engines is needed, the best one is two pairs, and adding two pairs of main engines is not 26×4 US dollars, but more expensive.
Yuntian-class aircraft need to be mass-produced to meet future space exploration needs. If so, then even Boss Li said he could not stand the cost.
Remove the cost of engine modules, the total cost of other modules of "Yuntian 1" is relatively only 6.2 billion yuan. Of the 22.9 billion yuan of "Yuntian 1", engine modules account for 16.7 billion yuan, and the reverse energy matrix device is worth 2 billion yuan. What remains is the comprehensive cost of other components.
The 2 billion yuan of the reverse energy matrix device contains 600 trillion joules of electricity with full energy storage.
This 600 trillion energy is calculated based on the current electricity price of 0.7 yuan in big cities, which is about 105 million yuan.
In fact, 70 cents of kilowatt-hours of electricity were the price of residents' consumption, while kilowatt-hours of electricity was about 1 to 20 cents of electricity in the power plant. "Yuntian No. 1" only spent 53 million yuan on energy loaded with 600 trillion joules.
This 600 trillion joule energy can allow "Yuntian 1" to load 283 tons of materials for 17 low-Earth orbit round-trip transportation.
On average, simply calculating the energy consumption cost is the launch cost of about 3 million yuan per time.
Compared with the cost of launching traditional rockets that are used for one-time use is hundreds of millions of yuan, the freight of "Yuntian-1" is simply cheap. It is said that it is a rocket's solid, liquid propellant, or the electric propellant of "Yuntian-1" electric propellant, and the proportion of its cost accounts for a very small part. The key lies in the engine.
The low launch cost brings high-frequency space activities, which makes it economically affordable to build larger space stations.
After the successful test flight, Huasheng Technology immediately became a hot commodity in the eyes of aerospace agencies around the world. Political agencies such as ESA, technology companies such as Alphabet, etc. took advantage of the situation and planned new ambitious space station plans.
In their opinion, since Huasheng Technology, as a private space company, has developed the "Yuntian 1" and will inevitably contract the transportation business of all human space activities. Huasheng Technology replaced SpaceX as a rookie in taking over space transportation. In the future, it will be asked to send its own space station to space, and it can be even larger than the International Space Station.
As a result, major aerospace powers around the world have come up with the idea of building their own space stations because of "Yuntian 1". They used to want to do it, but the cost could not be accepted.
On the other hand, the day after the test flight was successful was the 10th anniversary of Huasheng Technology.
At 18:50 on June 11, 2018, Huasheng Technology Headquarters, on Donghu Beach.
After dusk, night is about to fall, but here is crowded. More than 100,000 people gather here. It is not ordinary spectacular. Huasheng headquarters is large. To be precise, at this moment, 160,000 Huasheng Technology employees and their families gather here.
But for the super technology giant that now has more than 1.2 million employees worldwide, the 160,000 here is only one-eighth of the total number of employees. If the family members of the employees who no longer work in Huasheng Technology will be removed, the proportion will exceed one-tenth.
For super giants with more than 1.2 million employees, there is a threshold for being able to come to the headquarters to attend the 10th anniversary celebration.
Employees who cannot come to the headquarters can only participate through live broadcasts. In the next three days, all employees of Huasheng Technology will take paid leave.
Even the Huasheng headquarters cannot accommodate so many people. At this time, the entire company headquarters is brightly lit, with people with yellow and white skin outdoors. Some foreign faces can stand here, which shows that he is a citizen who has obtained Chinese nationality. The primary condition for becoming a formal core employee of Huaxia Technology is to meet Chinese nationality.
As time gradually approaches 19:00, the fireworks performance of the anniversary celebration is about to begin. It is worth mentioning that the famous director Zhang Yimou was invited to this 10th anniversary celebration party of Huasheng Technology. Lao Mouzi's big scene is definitely the world's top masterpiece.
Huasheng Technology's heroic spirit also makes Lao Taoist easy. As the client, there is only one requirement. This fireworks performance does not seek the best in history, but only seeks better in history. Nothing else is a problem.
A hot scene!
At 19:00, the fireworks show officially kicked off the celebration party. The Quehualou Building, which stands uniquely in the center of East Lake, became the beginning of the fireworks show, and the entire building full of classical charm became the launching point of the fireworks.
At that moment, colorful fireworks illuminated the entire company headquarters. The calm East Lake reflected the colorful starry sky above the sky, and then the fireworks arranged on fixed floating boards on the East Lake were also lit.
The shouts of hundreds of thousands of people are overwhelming, and the fireworks above the sky are colorful. Everyone is excited to the point of setting up a feast for their eyes. Celebrations are available every year, but the 10th anniversary celebration of the founding of Huasheng Technology has extraordinary significance. The next time it will be comparable to this celebration, maybe the Centennial Celebration is the only one that can match the significance of this celebration.
The fireworks performance lasted for more than twenty minutes and illuminated the night sky for more than twenty minutes, and it seemed that it was not over yet.
On the lake not far from the shore, lights suddenly lit up. It was a huge floating performance stage created. A dancer's group entered the main stage from both sides with explosive live music.
The cheers at the scene ushered in a new climax at this moment.
It's so exciting.
Tonight is just a party!
Chapter completed!
