Since the last rocket launch mission failed, the Rocket Research Institute has not undertaken a rocket launch mission.
This is of course affected by rocket production capacity, but also due to domestic and international concerns about the capabilities of the research institute.
After all, the loss required for a failed rocket launch is too great.
Loss ranging from 10 to 20 million US dollars to as much as 70 to 80 million US dollars is difficult to accept even for international companies with deep pockets.
Of course, it is impossible for the higher-ups to just watch the Rocket Research Institute without any launch missions.
In the end, the old leader of the spaceport came forward and won a chance for a launch mission.
It is responsible for the launch mission of the latest Dragon Star 7 of the domestic communications and broadcasting satellite company.
Ryusei 7 is a geostationary communications satellite manufactured by Hughes Corporation of Eagle Sauce.
Adopting a new generation of communication technology, it can provide a variety of high-quality satellite communication transmission services such as voice, data, images, radio and television, etc.
More than 30 C-band transponder units and 20 Ku-band transponder units have been used, and the beams cover the entire territory and some surrounding areas.
Of course, its main uses are public communication systems and broadcasting.
For this satellite, Communications and Broadcasting Satellite Corporation paid nearly 50 million US dollars in design and manufacturing fees to Eagle Sauce Company.
Of course, this will also be the last time a domestic satellite company cooperates with Yingjiang's company.
According to the original historical context, when the China Star 8 cooperation was carried out, although the Communications and Broadcasting Satellite Company paid 130 million in satellite manufacturing fees and launch vehicle costs to the Yingjiang family's Laura Company.
Unfortunately, the order was not completed in the end.
Of course the money was not refunded.
"Xiao Zhang, the current international attitude towards us is not particularly friendly."
"Especially Yingjiang, they have repeatedly obstructed our satellites in various ways."
"This time, if their election had not been imminent, they would not have been particularly concerned about our affairs."
"I'm afraid that satellite manufacturing orders will be hindered this time."
"And the next boss of theirs may not be as friendly to us as he is now."
"So the country still hopes that your Rocket Research Institute can do a good job in developing and launching its own rockets."
"This allows us to have the last resort when facing their blackmail."
Listening to the old man sitting in front of him and teaching him earnestly.
Zhang Xingyang remained silent.
For domestic researchers in this era, as long as they have had contact with Europe and the United States, they all feel despair.
Especially when importing various equipment, facing the other party's blackmail, the kind of hardship that can only be broken into the stomach and swallowed is difficult for people who have become members of the world's first industrialized country to imagine in later generations.
This is also the reason why many people never come back after studying abroad. After seeing the colorful world of developed countries, how many people can come back to this backward country?
Therefore, in this era, all kinds of talents who can give up the superior conditions abroad and return to China, no matter what kind of controversy they suffer later, are worthy of praise at this time.
In later generations, Longguo, which sold various industrial products that were originally regarded as industrial pearls at cabbage prices, was exclaimed by many developed countries as the "meat grinder of developed countries."
High-end industrial products that originally had various auras were turned into mass products on the assembly line.
After all, the Dragon Kingdom has pulled them from their technological monopoly and can no longer rely on technology for high-profit exploitation.
There is no difference between a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the flesh.
"We understand, old leader." Zhang Xingyang looked at the old leader seriously and said.
In fact, since the last rocket launch failed, everyone at the Rocket Research Institute has basically been holding their breath.
I want to take a breath for myself and the country’s aerospace industry.
"In the past six months, everyone at the institute has basically been working at a high intensity, and many people have even almost fallen ill because of it."
After hearing this, the old leader shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Xiao Zhang, it's not advisable to rely on everyone's personal enthusiasm for work to carry out high-intensity work."
"If we want the institute's work to be able to advance rapidly over the long term, we must establish an effective working system."
Why doesn't Zhang Xingyang understand what the old leader said? !
But some things cannot be solved just by knowing them. Most people in the institute are still newcomers.
If it weren't for the support of everyone's passion for the country, many people would not be able to survive.
After all, for many people, if it were not for the country, then as the proud sons of this era, they could work locally and obtain higher positions and wages.
Many people can even go abroad to work. As long as they go abroad, whether it is living environment, salary or scientific research resources.
Compared with the country at this time, which is very poor in all aspects, it is a life that many people yearn for.
They rejected these material temptations for the sake of the future of this ancient country.
Zhang Xingyang smiled awkwardly and said, "Old leader, it's really not something I don't want to do."
"To be honest, I understand better than anyone that having a healthy working system is excellent for both the health of scientific researchers and the advancement of various work in the institute."
"However, many times even if I say it, everyone agrees well on the surface, but when I am not around, they still go their own way."
This actually has something to do with Zhang Xingyang being too young.
As a person who is only one or two years older than most people in the institute, Zhang Xingyang does not seem like a leader to many people most of the time.
Rather, he is like a technical mentor and a considerate big brother in life.
This is one of the few places where Zhang Xingyang really feels helpless.
"Old leader, why don't you go talk to them?"
The old leader has been engaged in aerospace work since he was young and has unimaginable prestige within the aerospace system.
It is of course an easy thing to convince everyone to abide by the work system.
However, this matter still depends on the wishes of Mr. Luo. After all, this matter is actually very energy-consuming.
For an old man approaching eighty years old, this matter is still quite challenging.
"Hahaha, if I can really help you, then of course I am obligated!"
Although he was already over seventy years old and was about to enter his twenties, the old leader was still very energetic and agreed to this matter.
