Chapter 670 (1/2)

Supply and replenishment of the international space station is not only the international obligation of several space powers, but also a good opportunity for all countries to develop their own space science and technology. Only by making profits from the tens of billions of rubles will the national space companies have the money to develop new aeroengines and improve existing launch technologies.

Contracting out the satellite ring trade can certainly reduce the financial budget in this respect, but it is undoubtedly bad news for the domestic aerospace enterprises. After all, there are so many launch plans every year. Most of the space companies depend on national programs, except that the U.S. X-Space can make money on commercial launches.

What Natasha said is also what the Russian leaders mean.

If the satellite ring trade intends to sell rockets, Russia will certainly be happy to buy them, but if the satellite ring trade only intends to contract the launch project, there is no need to talk about it at all.

”Don't you want to listen to my price?” Jiang Chen is helpless.

Natasha shook her head.

”The Kremlin won't nod, even if you're offering an attractive price.”

It's hard to do.

But Natasha's words are also reasonable. If we consider this issue from the perspective of cost saving, why don't laomaozi outsource the project to X-Space in the United States? The Falcon rocket, with its first stage rocket recovery technology, can reduce the launch cost to a terrible number.

Although it seems that this matter has not been discussed, but Jiang Chen has never been the kind of person who will give up easily.

After a moment's thought, he said.

”Don't you really want to talk about the price? I mean the rm-320 rocket engine. ”

”I told you it didn't work Wait, what are you talking about? ” Natasha suddenly froze. Looking at Jiang Chen in shock.

”Am I not clear enough? The price of the rm-320 rocket engine. ” Jiang Chen smiles.

Put up the shock between the eyebrows, Natasha quietly looked at Jiang Chen, said quickly.

”What do you want?”

According to the materials submitted by the star ring trade side and the observation of Russian experts, the performance of rm-320 rocket engine is analyzed. More than one level higher than Russia's proud rd-180. Even X-Space's Merlin 1D engine can't match it.

It can withstand 500 atmospheres of combustion chamber, and 1:300 push value ratio, the production cost is only half of the Russian rd-180!

More than once, the Russian Aerospace Corporation proposed to the Kremlin that it would order a batch of rm-320 rocket engines by virtue of Russia's friendly relations with new countries. Although it may not be copied. But at least we can learn from the following part of the design.

Natasha never thought that Jiang Chen would agree to sell the engine, so she didn't mention it at all.

Happiness is so sudden!

Jiang Chen's eyes swept Natasha's body for a while, and said in a playful way, ”guess?”

In the face of the unabashed sight, Natasha's cheeks were covered with red clouds. But soon he realized the banter in the sight and glared at Jiang Chen.

”I can't guess.”

Jiang Chen held out five fingers.

”Five years. Within five years, Russia's International Space Station replenishment project will be contracted by star ring trade. After five years, we will sell the samples and design drawings of rm-320 rocket engine to Russian Aerospace at market price. ”

Exchange a five-year contract for an obsolete technology. It's a real bargain.

As for why we say ”out of date”, of course, it is because, when the space elevator is brought out by Jiang Chen, all rocket launching technologies will be out of date.

With the advent of the space elevator, the launch cost of tens of millions of dollars will be directly reduced to hundreds of dollars. This is also the reason why at the end of the 21st century, the launch vehicle technology has been completely suspended.

“…… I can't give you an answer. I have to ask my superior first. ” Natasha said with difficulty.

Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation.

Natasha nodded, went aside and took out her cell phone. The call was made to the KGB headquarters in Moscow.

This phone call for a long time, I saw her suddenly look a Lin, holding the phone to the edge of Jiang Chen.

”Our superior wants to discuss it with you in person.”

With that, she handed the mobile phone to Jiang Chen's hand and stepped back two steps.

Put your mobile phone in your ear. Before Jiang Chen speaks, there comes English with Russian accent.
