My Side Job is a Trader

After the Feilong began to orbit the earth, Zhang Xin and the others no longer focused all their attention here.

Next, Sun Shucai became very interested in the upcoming lunar exploration program of Chaos Space Exploration Company.

"Mr. Zhang, judging by your posture, why do you look like you are going to dig soil on the moon?"

Zhao Yunchang said: "You are really right. The main reason is that there are some metal elements in space that do not exist on the earth, and these metals are exactly what we need urgently, so we can only try to launch a lunar exploration device first to see if it can be used." We can’t get as much lunar soil back as possible.”

"You mean those metal elements are needed to make that kind of high-temperature-resistant alloy?"

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, the key elements have not been found on the earth, but some components were found in the lunar soil that the government gave us to study last time. We named this element based on the high temperature resistance of this metal. It is called 'Super Platinum', and there was also a small amount of super platinum in the meteorite some time ago, so this is how the Flying Dragon was born."

"Your speed is quite fast. We only heard that they analyzed the general composition of the lunar soil. There are indeed several unknown components in it. I didn't expect that you have already started to use it."

Zhang Xin did not speak. This is actually the biggest difference between an enterprise and an institution.

Enterprises have always paid attention to efficiency. Even as long as Zhang Xin personally takes care of them, the resources of the entire company and even the entire group will be given priority. The personnel immediately issued a report on the use of several elements.

After reading this report, the aircraft production department realized that super platinum’s high temperature resistance properties can be used together with other metals to make high temperature resistant alloys. This high temperature resistant alloy has a wide range of uses. Alloys are definitely the most practical.

Four hours later, Yang Hengyun, the person in charge of the central control department of the Chaos Space Exploration Company responsible for monitoring the Flying Dragon spacecraft, notified Zhang Xin and others that the spacecraft had discovered the space station and had begun to adjust its flight attitude, trying to communicate with the cargo spacecraft specially used for loading and unloading supplies on the space station. The interface compartment docking.

Everyone returned to the central control room again, looking at the various flight parameters of the Dragon on the electronic screen and a dedicated camera screen, the space station could already be clearly seen in the screen.

As the docking module of the space station gets closer, the speed of the Dragon is getting slower and slower. However, since the Dragon is not a spacecraft specially designed to dock with the space station, there has been no way to align it with the interface of the docking module.

When everyone was getting more and more nervous, the central control department of the National Aviation Center contacted the central control department of Chaos Space Exploration Company and informed Chaos Space Exploration Company that the astronauts on the space station had begun to control the mechanical arms. It will grab the interface reserved on the outside of the Dragon and guide the spacecraft to complete the docking with the space station.

After 20 minutes of adjustments, the Flying Dragon finally successfully docked with the space station.

Half an hour later, the astronauts entered the spaceship and greeted the management and control personnel of Chaos Space Exploration Company through Lianmai.

Sun Shucai had a phone call with the leader of the National Aviation Center before, so when he was connected to the Flying Dragon spacecraft, Sun Shucai took the headset and the microphone and said, "Hello, Comrade Wu Xiaowei, I am Sun Shucai."

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

Although I don't know why Sun Shu appeared in Chaos Space Exploration Company, Wu Xiaowei has also heard about the relationship between the two companies.

Sun Shucai then said: "After the personal investigation by my team of experts, Chaos Space Exploration Company's aerospace technology fully complies with the national standards. After a meeting of the upper management, it was decided to send the materials and various instruments and equipment needed by the space station to China. Run by Chaos Space Exploration."

Sun Shucai's words were more like a notice, letting the three astronauts on the space station know why the spacecraft responsible for transporting supplies this time was not from the National Aviation Center.

For Chaos Space Exploration Company, this means that starting today, the company will undertake some launch missions from the National Aeronautics Center. Of course, each launch requires a large payment to Chaos Space Exploration Company .

Afterwards, several executives of Chaos Space Exploration Company and Sun Shucai came to the meeting room. They will discuss the detailed requirements of the launch mission and the launch cost.

"Mr. Sun, are you sure you have such a large sum of money?"

Zhang Xin was also a little surprised when he heard that Sun Shucai would pay as much as 80 million for each launch.

Because the cost of launching rockets and transporting materials by the aviation center itself is about the same, logically speaking, outsourcing the task of transporting materials to Chaos Space Exploration Company should not cost so much. After all, Chaos Space Exploration Company has long started using recyclable materials. Rockets and spaceships that are reused many times cost about 10 to 20 million per launch.

And because Chaos Space Exploration and the National Aeronautics Center share data, it means that Chaos Space Exploration's launch costs are transparent.

It turned out that the National Aviation Center was still willing to pay a high fee.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of Zhang Xin and several other people, Sun Shucai calmly explained: "Actually, the government is also helping Chaos Space Exploration Company. After all, since the company was established, Matrix has poured tens of billions of funds into it. , It was not easy to have the strength of today, all of these are in the eyes of the above.

Matrix is ​​a good company with a strong sense of responsibility and social responsibility. Chaos Space Exploration Company is like a gold-eating beast. Although it can occasionally receive some international satellite launch orders, it is still too few.

Therefore, in order to make Chaos Space Exploration Company profitable, at least it must be able to reduce some dependence on the matrix, which is why we are willing to pay high fees. "

Zhang Xin nodded and said: "Understood, the government is supporting the development of Chaos Space Exploration Company, so it doesn't care whether the cost is more or less. The key is that Chaos Space Exploration Company has important strategic value."

Sun Shucai said: "That's right, you are now a gold-lettered brand in Huaxia, and you won't go bankrupt easily. Besides, Mr. Zhang really thinks that we didn't take advantage of it?"

Qian Yawei said at this time: "This is indeed a win-win cooperation. On the surface, it seems that the National Aviation Center has not reduced the launch cost because of this, but from then on, the National Aviation Center does not need to allocate manpower and material resources to care about the availability of materials. How did it get sent to the space station, so that the aviation center can withdraw itself from these chores and concentrate resources on more critical technologies."

Sun Shucai boasted: "Mr. Qian is right. After outsourcing these missions that require frequent launches to you, we also feel relaxed. Next, we will tackle key problems in Mars exploration and manned moon landing plans."
