298 belongs to the small space launch base of Longteng Aviation!
"Professor Chen Shi, look up for a long time!"
Lu Ze took the initiative to walk over and stretch out his right hand and greeted warmly.
The white-haired old professor in front of him, who he specially invited Professor Sun Yuanwei, is the former chief designer of the national aerospace project, and will stay in the national aerospace research center to do academic research after retirement.
Being able to come to the headquarters of Longteng Airlines is also for the sake of Professor Sun's face.
Of course, Chen Shichang himself was also very interested in the Xia Yu space plan proposed by Lu Sheng.
"Where, Professor Lu, your name is also thunderous!"
Chen Shi complimented with a smile.
However, it is also true that although Lu Ze is young, in terms of qualifications, neither he nor Professor Sun Yuanwei is qualified to pose in front of him.
Not to mention the title of national hero certified by the military!
"Professor Lu, we are very interested in your global space program, are you really sure that you can launch a recoverable commercial launch vehicle and achieve a moon landing within 1-2 years? You must know that SpaceX in the Western world has been engaged in more than a decade, and there are only 2 partially reusable Falcon 1 and Falcon 9 launch vehicles. Professor Sun Yuanwei asked seriously.
A few days ago, Lu Ze held a press conference to publicly announce the establishment of Universal Space Corporation and the launch of a recoverable commercial launch vehicle and a moon landing within 1-2 years.
Many people regard it as a publicity gimmick or exaggerated gibberish.
Only Professor Sun, who is familiar with Lu Ze, knows that Lu Ze never talks big.
But whatever plan he set will come true.
No exceptions.
"Of course."
Lu Ze nodded, "1-2 years is still a long-term consideration, if the progress is fast enough, maybe it can be achieved within 10 months." ”
"This..."
Sun Yuanwei and Chen Shi, two professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, immediately looked at each other.
Lu Ze smiled, "I know it's really a bit appalling, how about the two of you come with me to see it in person?"
"Good!"
In the afternoon of the same day, a Longteng 1000 supersonic passenger plane took off from the internal alternate airfield of Longteng Airlines.
70 minutes later, it landed at Jiuquan City International Airport in the northwest of Longguo, near the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
There is a business convoy waiting at the airport gate early.
After picking up Lu Ze and others, they sailed directly to the Gobi Desert.
"Professor Lu, this road is familiar to me, you won't take us to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, right?" Professor Chen Shi asked suspiciously.
As the former chief designer of the national space project, he lived on the Gobi Desert for most of his life.
I am very familiar with every grass and tree here.
Looking at the direction of the car and the scenery outside the window, there was suddenly a trace of doubt in my eyes.
Lu Ze smiled mysteriously, "Elder Chen, yes or no, you'll know later." ”
The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base was built in 1958, with an altitude of 1,000 meters and an area of about 2,800 square kilometers.
It is equivalent to the size of two ordinary counties.
Located deep in the Bataan and Lin deserts.
It is the earliest and largest satellite launch center built by Longguo.
It is also the only manned space launch site in Dragon Country.
The place where Lu Ze took them was on the edge of the Nine Springs Satellite Launch Base.
"Here, right here, get off the bus."
After Professor Sun Yuanwei, Professor Chen Shi, Qin Xiyao and the entourage of Longteng Airlines got off the bus, they found that a small rocket launch base had also been built in the area they were looking at.
Although the scale is not comparable to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the side, the launch tower, folding vertical assembly plant, folding load assembly plant, comprehensive launch site and other settings are all available, and there are complete living areas.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
It is like a launch base with the Longteng Aviation signboard.
"It should be Universal Aerospace, we have to let them change it." Lu Ze said to himself, nodding with satisfaction while looking around, obviously thinking that this small space launch base was not bad.
"President Lu, this... When was it built? How I don't know at all. ”
Qin Xiyao pointed to the small space launch base of Longteng Aviation not far away and shouted in surprise.
As the assistant to the president's office and CFO, I should be familiar with every big plan of the company.
Now that there is a space launch base that costs at least tens of billions of dollars, it has been built without knowing it, and Qin Xiyao naturally doubts whether she has made a mistake in the company's financial supervision.
"This is what I entrusted the military to help build, after all, Lieutenant General Gong Hongye still owes me a big favor, so it is normal that you don't know." Lu Ze said with a smile
He is also very proud to be able to build such a small space launch base on the Gobi Desert.
It's a surprise for everyone.
Let people know that he established Universal Aerospace not on a whim, but with a long plan.
"It's really yours."
Qin Xiyao pouted, obviously a little unhappy for Lu Ze to hide from her.
But still very shocked!
In contrast, Professor Chen Shi is much calmer.
After all, he had worked as the chief designer of the larger Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on the side for many years, and when he saw such a small space launch base in front of him, he didn't feel anything other than sighing that Lu Ze had strong financial resources.
Professor Lu, with all due respect, even the larger Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center next to it is unlikely to achieve a reusable launch vehicle launch within 1-2 years, let alone landing on the moon. Professor Chen Shi said truthfully.
As the former chief designer of the national space project, he knows the space strength of the Dragon Kingdom better than anyone.
Although manned space rockets have long been in the sky, there must be a big gap with the space science and technology of the Western world.
I thought Lu Ze would bring a little surprise,
Unexpectedly, just a small space launch base was built.
To be honest, Professor Chen Shi was a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, Elder Chen, you have to go in with me to find out." Lu Ze said confidently.
With everyone holding their heads high, they walked into the small space launch base belonging to Longteng Aviation.
In the vertical assembly plant, a behemoth is erected.
A carrier rocket of the Long March 7 series that has not yet been assembled.
Hundreds of aerospace science and technology engineers recruited by Lu Ze are busy in full swing.
"I bought it."
Lu Ze introduced.
"Very good, the most advanced Long March 7 series carrier rocket in Longguo, Professor Lu really has strong financial resources." Professor Chen Shi affirmed, not forgetting to tease softly.
"Elder Chen, pay attention to details!" Lu Ze reminded.
"Hmm.... ⋯⋯"
Professor Chen Shi wanted to say that he could recognize this launch vehicle even if he closed his eyes, but he was suddenly stunned, noticed a detail, and the expression on his face gradually became surprised, turned his head to look at Lu Ze in disbelief, and exclaimed: "This is: ............ Ion jet engines?".
