The second International Aerospace Expo opens grandly in the south in November!
After the aerobatics team completed the difficult and beautiful flight performances such as the 4-plane diamond-shaped upward blooming and the 6-plane wedge-shaped diving and fighting.
This time the Aerospace Expo has officially begun.
The Rocket Academy also participated in this expo as an important unit in the aerospace field.
Mainly on display are the Hongyan rocket and the Changsan-B rocket, which are currently the mainstay of the Rocket Research Institute.
In fact, after Hongyan Rocket completed the recycling and development of the first-stage rocket, Changsanyi has lagged behind Hongyan Rocket in all aspects.
Whether in terms of carrying capacity or economic performance, the Changsan B rocket is inferior to the Hongyan rocket.
However, the Rocket Research Institute has not yet completed the research and development of small and medium-thrust rockets.
Therefore, in some cases where the payload is not too large, it is more cost-effective to use a long-range triple-B rocket than a first-hand Hongyan rocket.
If you use second-hand Hongyan rockets, then Changsanyi will have no advantage at all!
However, at this time, everyone's acceptance of second-hand rockets was not that high, so there is still a certain market for Changsha Sanyi.
This aviation and aerospace expo was attended by many foreign delegations, as well as many large enterprises in the aerospace field that enjoy a high reputation in the world.
It is still not easy to sell the many domestic aircraft and rockets at the expo.
Of course, there are also some rich people who don't care about money so much and will selectively spend money to buy some more advanced weapons.
For example, the group of guys standing in front of Zhang Xingyang, wearing robes and white headscarves.
These guys who control the OPEC organization and can trigger a local war with just a little movement cannot be described as extremely rich.
After all, in front of their house, countless amounts of oil can be spewed out just by digging!
"Boss, how do you sell this?" One of the leaders, a handsome bearded guy, looked at a Hongyan rocket on the platform and asked curiously.
This Hongyan rocket is the only real rocket in the entire expo, the others are just models.
Because this rocket is so high, it is one of the few rockets that is not in the exhibition hall.
After all, it would be difficult to transport this rocket, which is 70 meters high, upright into the exhibition hall.
Unless the expo authorities can accept Zhang Xingyang’s suggestion.
First, a large hole is opened above the exhibition hall, and then the Hongyan rocket uses its first-stage rocket to push the entire rocket and fly in through the hole.
Although Zhang Xingyang repeatedly promised to ensure that the rocket would not be deflected, the competent authorities were still frightened after hearing this plan.
They built a shed outside for the Rocket Research Institute overnight and asked them to put the rocket outside.
"Eighty-five million first-hand rockets, 40 million second-hand rockets!"
Zhang Xingyang looked at the handsome bearded guy with a strong Arabic style and answered very briefly.
"Eighty-five million dollars?"
"That's really cheap!"
The bearded man looked at the performance parameter sign next to the rocket and said happily.
This price is actually quite cheap compared to the current quotations of other commercial space launches in the world.
You must know that the LEO orbital carrying capacity of the Hongyan rocket has reached 26 tons.
Converted in this way, the launch price per kilogram of LEO payload is less than US$350!
Compared with other space rockets in the world, which are quoted at tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram, this price can be said to be only one percent of theirs!
So it is normal for the bearded man to marvel.
“However, this does not include launch service fees.”
Seeing that the other party was so interested in Hongyan Rockets, Zhang Xingyang also wanted to explain the matters here clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
"If we adopt our packaged launch plan, the price of the first-hand rocket is US$110 million."
"Can you explain a little bit about what a packaged launch plan is?"
The bearded man opposite was obviously very interested in the Hongyan Rockets.
It was rare to meet a foreign customer who seemed to be rich and interested in the Rockets, so Zhang Xingyang simply had a good talk with him:
"The packaged launch plan is that as long as the satellite that needs to be launched is in our hands, you don't have to worry about everything that follows. From transportation, loading, inspection, launch, until the satellite is put into orbit, we will do it for you."
"You just have to wait for the satellite to enter orbit."
"If any problems occur before the satellite enters orbit, we have a special insurance fund to compensate for the loss of the satellite!"
Since the previous "226" rocket accident, a series of subsequent events have made the country feel that we must have our own commercial aerospace insurance fund.
Therefore, domestic commercial space launch missions are now insured and guaranteed by domestic funds.
"Can't you guys take on the development work of the satellite as well?"
The bearded man was obviously not satisfied with this result.
Because this is too troublesome, they actually need to get their own satellites.
"If you need to develop satellites, I can help you contact our professional satellite development unit!"
Zhang Xingyang naturally followed suit. Since the other party didn't want to do it himself, the country could take over the development work of the satellite.
"If you have any special needs, we can help you with that."
"No, can we sign the contract now?"
The bearded man opposite was obviously not short of money at all. After getting to know him a little bit, he was ready to place an order.
Of course, such a large contract cannot be completely finalized with just a few words on site.
However, the two parties still signed a simple memorandum, recording some parts that everyone has now determined.
The handsome bearded man was obviously a very enthusiastic person. After signing the memorandum, he almost leaned against Zhang Xingyang.
He asked very carefully and furtively: "Dear Zhang!"
"We are friends now!"
Although I didn’t know what the other person wanted to say because he was so careful, but because he was handsome (and very rich), he still nodded:
"Of course, my friend!"
"I heard that if you pay enough, you can sell missiles with a range of more than three hundred kilometers, right?"
Zhang Xingyang looked at the bearded man with an expectant look, feeling a little helpless.
As one of the countries that has participated in the Treaty on the Limitation of Ballistic Missile Proliferation, ballistic missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers cannot be exported.
"This is not possible, my friend!"
Zhang Xingyang said a little embarrassed, but his next words gave the bearded man a glimmer of hope.
"But we have something almost as good. I wonder if you are interested in it?"
