Chapter 705 Rebuilding a Rocket Factory

"Whether it is from Anxi to the Northwest Space Launch Center, or to the Longcheng Satellite Launch Center, or the Southwest Satellite Launch Center, you have to go through large and small railway tunnels. The size of these tunnels is limited, not enough to support large rocket bodies transportation.

Although highway transportation has been tried in recent years, road transportation is more flexible than railway transportation, and the restrictions on tunnels will be much looser. However, the load of roads and bridges is limited, and there are many height-limiting devices on the roads, and the vehicles are relatively dense, making transportation difficult.

Among other things, as far as the toll booth is concerned, it is generally impossible to pass it. The toll booth needs to be dismantled, and the cost is too high.

This is also one of the reasons why our country chooses to launch large rockets in the South China Sea. Of course, the advantages of launching at low latitudes are also incomparable at high latitudes. "

Hearing Yu Chengwu's words, Zou Xiaodong immediately asked: "Then can we also launch it in the South China Sea?"

Yu Chengwu shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words: "We are an enterprise after all, and we certainly cannot be compared with national projects.

Moreover, in order to be able to transport to the South China Sea, the national aerospace department has specially built a special wharf and a special transfer ship. Moreover, the heavy rocket manufacturing base was chosen to be built in Jinmen.

If we want to launch a rocket in the South China Sea, it must be built in Anxi. Then it will be transported by land to Jiangkou, the nearest water and land hub, or directly along the Longhai Line to the sea, and then transported to the South China Sea by ship.

These two methods have their own advantages, but without exception, we must first solve the problem of large-scale rocket body transportation, which is very difficult in terms of land transportation.

The only solution is to choose to establish a rocket manufacturing base at an inland river shipping hub such as the seaside or Jiangkou.

Of course, the cost may increase a lot in this way. "

Hearing Yu Chengwu's words, everyone nodded. Indeed, this is a thorny problem that has restricted the development of our country's aerospace technology for a long time.

It is also in recent years that with the strengthening of the country's national strength, it has been possible to allocate more funds to the aerospace sector. It is also with sufficient funds that the aerospace department can establish a new rocket launch center in the South China Sea, and develop a new generation of advanced launch vehicles in one go.

Wu Hao looked at the rocket standing in front of him, thought for a while, and then an idea popped up in his heart.

"Could we just build rockets right here and go by road to the Northwest Space Launch Center.

I remember,

From here to the Northwest Space Launch Center is a desert, basically there are no tunnels, it should be easier to transport. "

Hearing his words, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming nodded.

Zhou Xiangming smiled at Wu Hao: "We also have this idea, but there are still many problems to be solved.

First of all, although it is relatively flat from here to the Northwest Space Launch Center, and there are few tunnels, the difficulty of transportation is still relatively large.

Secondly, rocket manufacturing is a very complicated and delicate work. Although the facilities here are already very good, there is still a long way to go before making rockets.

Furthermore, in terms of talents, although the conditions here are already good, many outstanding talents are still reluctant to come.

Finally, the advantages of launching at low latitudes are unmatched at high latitudes. Launched at low latitudes, the same rocket has a much higher carrying capacity.

So in the long run, we still prefer to launch medium and heavy rockets at the South China Sea Launch Center.

And the launch has another advantage, that is, all the rocket wreckage falls into the sea, which is relatively safe and will not pose a threat to the people living on the ground. "

Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao thought for a while, and then said: "So we're going to build another rocket manufacturing factory. Where do you prefer to choose the location?"

Yu Chengwu responded: "In fact, it is best to build by the sea, but we still need you to consider other factors. Therefore, we think it is most suitable to build the rocket manufacturing factory in Jiangcheng. Transported along the Yangtze River channel to Shanghai, and then transshipped to the South China Sea.

Of course, we can also choose a dual-purpose transport vehicle for inland seas, which can be transported directly from Jiangcheng to South China Sea. "

"Jiangcheng!" Wu Hao said in his mouth.

Jiangcheng is relatively close to Anxi, and it is also a national central city and a new first-tier city. It is considered to be the leader in the entire central region.

Moreover, Jiangcheng's economy is relatively developed, there are many colleges and universities, and its scientific and technological strength is also at the forefront of the country.

More importantly, as Yu Chengwu said, Jiangcheng is an important shipping hub on the Yangtze River. The more important it is, the central hub of air, land, and rail transportation has become the thoroughfare of nine provinces.

Seeing him thinking, Zhou Xiangming couldn't help but said: "Actually, the cost of building such a rocket manufacturing factory is not high. It is nothing more than a few factory buildings, and the parts purchased from various places are put there for assembly.

On the whole, the cost is not high, and our preliminary estimate is about tens of millions. "

Wu Hao smiled when he heard the words, and then did not directly agree, but said to the two of them: "Write me a detailed feasibility report later, I need to discuss it at the company's board of directors, and listen to other shareholders. Views."

After finishing speaking, Wu Hao looked at Zou Xiaodong, while Zou Xiaodong smiled and did not speak.

In fact, Wu Hao can deal with tens of millions of things now, but he can't do it.

On the one hand, it is to avoid leaving the other party with the influence of being easy to ask for money, so as to facilitate future management. On the other hand, the necessary procedures still have to go. Although he can decide on this matter, he still needs to tell everyone and go through the process. This is the most basic respect for other shareholders.

In the end, Wu Hao also had to think about it seriously, solicit the opinions of other parties, especially the opinions of the aerospace department, and then make a decision.

Seeing that Wu Hao didn't respond directly, the two were a little surprised and even a little disappointed. And these Wu Hao or other people present saw it, but no one mentioned it again.

As for Zou Xiaodong, he came out in time to change the subject and said, "I see that the sandstorm in the desert is quite big, so it doesn't matter if you leave it like this."

Hearing Zou Xiaodong's question, Yu Chengwu glanced at him, and then answered enthusiastically. They all know who Zou Xiaodong is, and he is also one of the founders and shareholders of the company. To put it bluntly, Zou Xiaodong still needs to participate in the vote on the matter they mentioned just now, so how dare they not take care of it well.

"Don't worry at all. At the beginning of design and manufacture, we have already taken into account various factors that can affect the rocket, so we have carried out special design and manufacture..."
