I failed 8 times in a row. I was already ready to continue to fail for the 9th time, but I didn’t expect that the 9th time was so perfect. I completed the launch, steering, and recycling in one go, and successfully retried the launched rocket to the predetermined location.

Recyclable rockets are of great significance for humans to explore too quickly. Currently, only the American Spacex technology company has mastered this technology on the entire earth.

As we all know, fuel accounts for a small part of the cost of a rocket. The rocket's navigation control system, fuel storage box, engine, and the materials of the rocket itself are the absolute big heads. If a rocket can be recycled and reused, it can greatly reduce the launch cost.

Allen Musk, CEO of Space Exploration Technology (Spacex), once said that manufacturing reusable rockets is the future of human spaceflight. Taking the Falcon 9 rocket, which was successfully launched and recovered for the first time, the cost of the rocket was $50 million at the time, of which the fuel cost was only $200,000.

If it is calculated in 2022, it means that the cost of the Rockets is about $100 million, and the fuel costs are only about $500,000.

Even though Qingquan Technology's "Fatty" series of rockets has reduced multi-stage design and integrated design, its cost is more than 200 million yuan due to the new materials used, anti-gravity engines, quantum communication instruments, etc., which is just that Qingquan Technology does not calculate those technologies that exceed the times.

For example, anti-gravity engines, quantum communication instruments, and new materials, you can sell them at a high price. This estimation is very difficult, and you can only simply calculate its manufacturing cost.

Qingquan Technology is now rich and powerful, but it failed eight times in a row, each time it was a loss of several hundred million. And how many times this experiment needs to be conducted, no one has a clear idea. This is how scientific research is. The bottomless pit of investment is always hard to see.

This is why private enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises, are not willing to invest in large quantities in scientific research, because the input-output ratio is really hard to predict. You don’t know whether large-scale capital investment can produce corresponding value and returns.

Moreover, from the perspective of business operations, such investment is also very unwise. It is better to use the large amount of money to invest in real estate and finance, and you can make a lot of profits in the short term. So why are you working hard to do scientific research?

We can wait until others have developed the technology and we will reverse the product based on the product and add some new things. The whole thing is another innovation, with less investment and great gains.

This is also the current situation in the entire country or most countries. We are reluctant to invest in scientific research. Everyone is waiting for others to develop new technology and technology, and then rush up to reverse other people's technology.

The reverse technique is much simpler. Just like writing a book, publishing a book is very difficult, but reading a book is much easier, and you can constantly pick out many problems from other people's books.

Of course, for the country, many strategic technologies will not appear in the world at all, and you will not be able to launch corresponding technologies in reverse. At this time, you need to do research step by step, and constantly invest huge amounts of funds, resources, manpower, etc. to develop.

For example, a killer weapon like nuclear weapons, no one will sell it to you even if you spend a lot of money. Saudis are very rich, but even in the 1970s, when the country was the poorest and needed foreign exchange the most, the Saudis offered 10 billion US dollars to buy nuclear weapons, but the country did not waver at all.

In the end, the Saudis spent billions of dollars to buy dozens of conventional strategic missiles, which made the Saudis so happy. Although the warheads of this kind of missile are conventional weapons, these missiles can be used far away. They are all medium-range missiles, which are pointed at and attacked within thousands of kilometers, which scared the Israelis to do anything to Saudi Arabia.

(This story is a real thing, those missiles are still Saudi Arabia's magic weapon)

Of course, only countries can afford such investment, and only countries will be willing to invest so much huge amounts of funds. In terms of national security, the consistent principle of major countries in the world is to regardless of costs.

High investment also means that once the results are produced, there will be high returns. In the 1970s, the US dollar in that era was really valuable. Unlike now, a missile can be sold for 100 million US dollars, and its manufacturing cost was only a few million RMB at that time. Even so, Saudi tyrants seemed to have found a great advantage. This kind of magical artifact could not be bought even if they had money. The Saudis also begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother and bought dozens of them from China in difficulty. It was gone. It was a great fortune!

Now Qingquan Technology’s people not only created rockets, but also recyclable rockets. This is of great significance, and it is not just the meaning of reducing costs.

It has great significance for the entire country. The increasingly fierce space competition can greatly reduce costs, and the competitive advantage will gradually emerge.

When others launch space satellites once, spacecraft and other things are at least hundreds of millions of dollars. They just simply calculate the cost of rockets. If the investment in artificial, spacecraft, satellites, etc. is added, each launch is a huge investment.

Moreover, globally, the success rate of this launch is not as high as expected. It often launches afterimages that fail to launch people and things that cause death.

Now you have recyclable rockets. Every time you send something too fast, at least in terms of investment in the rocket, each time it only consumes some fuel, and the cost is greatly reduced, and the competitive advantage is very obvious.

The success of the recyclable rocket is a landmark technological achievement!

This achievement is extremely important, especially for countries like China!

Nowadays, international cooperation is carried out in international cooperation. The United States and Russia often cooperate to help each other to launch, launch east and west into space, jointly develop and use the International Space Station, exchange important achievements, etc.

Moreover, even those underdeveloped countries, such as Kimchi, Japan, and some European countries, can be taken to space by the United States and Russia as long as they pay a fee. Several European powers even team up to play in space.

All the powerful countries seem to play together very high, but they did not bring China with them. Just like the technological blockade, they seem to have reached a space blockade agreement. In this regard, China is excluded, and we won’t play with you!

The importance of space exploration, space technology, and space scientific research is self-evident. The future of mankind should not be limited to this small planet. The future of mankind should be the sea of ​​stars, where are countless resources waiting for mankind to develop!

Based on this understanding, no matter how difficult it is, the country has always insisted on developing space technology independently. From the last century to the present, with the unremitting efforts of generations of astronauts in the country, even if we rely on ourselves and no one cooperates, our space technology can rank among the top three in the world.

But as the saying goes, it is hard to make a forest alone. Although the strength alone has achieved such brilliant achievements, the corresponding investment also makes the country feel heavy. Many times, the country has to save money from all aspects to meet the needs of the aerospace industry, especially in the special era of the last century.

There is no way, no one is willing to cooperate with you, everything can only depend on yourself. Although it is difficult at the beginning and everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you pass this difficult period, all the technologies developed in the future will be independent, and all the results will be eaten slowly by yourself. All the technologies are mastered by yourself and there is no need to be restricted by others.

Qingquan Technology's recyclable rocket is considered successful for the time being. It is of great significance to a country that has always insisted on independence and self-reliance and has relied on its own strength to develop its space industry!

This means that in the future, countries can significantly reduce their investment in space exploration, and can invest valuable resources in more important places and develop more and deeper technologies.

However, at this time, everyone in Qingquan Technology obviously did not know the importance of this technology. They are still cheering and hugging and celebrating their fat man's successful return.

Liu Qingquan looked at the cheering people with a smile. Not to mention that everyone is young, even older researchers will cheer like children if they encounter such a major achievement.

What's more, people from Qingquan Technology are young people in their early twenties not long after they left school. How can they not cheer or celebrate such a major achievement?

Maybe everyone likes this way of celebration, but Liu Qingquan strongly opposed it, because Liu Qingquan, who was still smiling just now, was suddenly hugged by his subordinates, his limbs were lifted up, and they were lifted to the cement open space outside, and were constantly thrown up.

You should know that these people have practiced the Universe Yuanli Method. Although they are all specially developed for scientific researchers, their effects on the body are also very obvious, and they are very strong.

Liu Qingquan's 100-pound pound was thrown by everyone, and he was five or six meters high. He was excited and forced to throw his whole body to more than ten meters high. Liu Qingquan was so scared that he quickly called to stop.

Although he has also practiced the method of comprehensive Yuanli, even if he falls from more than ten meters, he will be unscathed. However, Liu Qingquan is more or less a little uncomfortable with this year when people are afraid of heights, and quickly stopped everyone from celebrating their way of throwing "hydrangeas".

Liu Qingquan, who had just fallen, had not had time to come back to his senses, but his secretary Deng Yujie found him and handed over the phone and said quietly: "Minister of Defense Fang Aiguo!"
