Chapter 216 Long March 10 Transfer
There were 97 problems in materials and technology, and the luxurious research team composed of all A-level, B+ and B-level solved them all in just 96 hours under the unscientific promotion of the system.
Of course, the price was the huge "consulting fee" of 10.2 billion yuan.
In fact, Lin Ju was not at a loss. If the 43 experts did not terminate the external employment contract, even if the research direction was not closely related to aerospace, it could bring a little scientific research speed gain.
But when the bill of 10.2 billion yuan was sent, the superior was still very surprised, but he asked the expert group how many problems had been solved.
As a result, the expert group took out a list of technical and material difficulties, and ticked every item on it.
The company responsible for supplying chemical raw materials verified the formula and process overnight, which was the first category to complete the technical verification, indicating that the call from the "overseas Chinese" was effective. The chemical products they synthesized are currently only produced by the island country Shin-Etsu Chemical, which has been in a highly blocked state.
Ask the experts who are responsible for answering the phone again. These experts who have been assigned to the system research institute all said that the people on the other end of the phone are very professional and speak standard English. Some can hear a little accent, and then they know nothing.
Because it uses the Jingwei satellite network, Xinyuan does not provide specific positioning on the grounds of confidentiality and personal safety, and it is impossible to find out who they are. As for English, which top practitioner in this industry does not speak standard English?
Since the performance and answers of the 43 experts when facing the question were quite consistent and there were no flaws, in the end, it can only be determined that there may be a top talent exchange organization similar to the "Freemasonry" in the world. They come from all walks of life, have strong technical strength, secretive tracks, and do things in a low-key manner. There is a probability that they will be able to release the results of secret research through a single contact with someone (especially a factory director). They are more patriotic, but also pursue personal interests.
When combined with Xinyuan's ridiculously powerful technical source and the legendary rich experience database, it shows that the members of this mysterious organization are all over the world, which is terrible beyond words.
It should even be inherited so that the constraints are very strong, so that the secrets can be strictly kept without revealing any information to the outside world.
The reason why Lin Ju was supported was probably because he could communicate freely with Xinyuan's independently operated satellite network, and use the ternary system to block malicious snooping...
Unconsciously, a mysterious and powerful organization appeared in the official investigation bureau's description, which shocked the superiors, but they had to believe it and wanted to maintain a good relationship.
So for the 10.2 billion yuan bill, it was also approved to pay directly.
The payment method is that the four major banks jointly loaned 15 billion yuan to Xinyuan Aerospace Power, interest-free, and repaid in installments of 50 years starting from 20 years.
Don't doubt it, it's a free gift, don't be too obvious in favoritism, maybe they will find a reason to cancel it at any time.
And 15 billion yuan is not expensive. It will take five or six years to make a technological breakthrough by yourself, and the money spent will definitely exceed this number.
It's just that Lin Ju's identity has become more important in the eyes of his superiors. He is young and can maintain contact with the mysterious organization. It provides many advanced technologies that have never appeared in the world. The purpose is not clear for the time being, but it seems friendly at present.
At least maintaining this relationship will have more benefits than disadvantages.

July 30th.
At the Jingu Rocket Manufacturing Base, seven road transport trailers drove out of the base, carrying large boxes painted in red and white to the Jingu Port.
These seven extra-long containers will be shipped to Qiongzhou by sea because their width exceeds the transportation limit of the railway.
This rocket is the Long March 10, the core of the Dawn Project, a giant rocket that will be used to carry out manned lunar missions.
After 10 consecutive months of hard work, the Space Agency used unimaginable resources and support to build a giant rocket with a takeoff weight of more than 3,600 tons and a thrust of 5,100 tons.
What rockets are currently in service at the Space Agency? They are the Long March 3B and the Long March 2F. After continuous improvements, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of these two rockets has reached nearly 14 tons.
Then the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of the Long March 10 is 120 tons, which is more than 8 times the number.
In another world line, on November 3 this year, the Long March 5 rocket completed its first flight.
The Long March 10, which was approved six years later than the Long March 5, will make its maiden flight nearly three months earlier than the Long March 5.
The burning funds were not wasted, nor were the crazy overtime work at the Jinggu Rocket Manufacturing Base. The necessary test procedures were not missed, and the necessary processes were not missed, but the Long March 10 was still delivered on schedule and will make its first flight at the Qiongzhou Space Launch Center around August 12 to 15.
Perhaps because the two unscrupulous giants, Xinyuan 2A and Xinyuan 3, have taken the lead, the transportation process of the Long March 10 is relatively high-profile and not hidden at all.
Now, the world's first rocket is Xinyuan 3, the second is Xinyuan 2A, the third is the Long March 10, which has not yet made its maiden flight, and the fourth is the Heavy Falcon.
Even if the SLS rocket makes its maiden flight in December, the block 1 version can only rank fourth with a 70-ton LEO.
If the cheating player Xinyuan is abandoned, the Long March 10 of the Space Administration will be the first.
Even if the SLS has a block 2 modification that can reach a capacity of more than 130 tons, if the four YF77s on the second stage of the Long March 10 are replaced with the future 220-ton YF90 high-pressure regenerative hydrogen-oxygen engine, the specific impulse will reach 443 seconds, then the near-Earth orbit capacity will be 150 tons instead of 120 tons.
In any case, the advantages of liquid rocket engines are there, and the overall load factor is indeed high. Even with the conservative overall design of the space agency, it is still the world's first after Xinyuan.
When CCTV News on August 1 broadcast the picture of celebrating the festival, it was followed by 7 large containers that had been loaded on the ship. The longest five containers were 50 meters long, and the reporters standing on the ship looked very small in front of them.
On the outside of the box, in addition to the CASA logo, there is a simplified icon of the Shenzhou spacecraft and a line of blue small words: China Manned Spaceflight.
The reporter announced with a proud tone:
"The target rocket for the first phase of the Dawn Project was independently developed by my country. The near-Earth orbit capacity reached 120 tons, surpassing the giant rocket Saturn V rocket used by Aramco to land on the moon in the last century. The Long March 10 was officially shipped out of the Jingu Rocket Manufacturing Base and loaded on a ship to be shipped to Qiongzhou.
It took only 10 months from the project approval to the factory delivery of the Long March 10 carrier rocket. A total of more than 20,000 people participated in the manufacturing of this rocket, breaking through hundreds of key technologies."
At the end, the reporter thought it was a live broadcast, but couldn't help but add an unplanned line:
"The Long March 10 carrier rocket is expected to make its maiden flight in mid-August, while the giant rocket used by Aramco to land on the moon may take four months to make its maiden flight."
