Chapter 249 I am also a human being
If the superconducting electromagnetic launch device made the world realize once again that room-temperature superconductivity has the potential to subvert any field, then American's behavior made the world remember that their bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

The next day, the American House of Representatives urgently passed a special appropriations bill, and a total of $50 billion in special research funds were allocated to the American National Laboratory for the development of room-temperature superconducting technology.

After being reposted by Chinese political bloggers back to the simplified Chinese Internet, Chinese netizens jokingly said that America had superconducting PTSD.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that Guangjia Aerospace had any plans for electric-powered rockets before." Lin Tianmin also couldn't understand why a murder case was linked to rockets.

Are you fucking kidding me?
Although the Americans who came to interrogate him repeatedly emphasized that the black man who died was an aviation enthusiast, they wanted to ask questions related to aerospace.

The other party's logic was that the black man saw China's electric rocket take off and heard that the employees of Guangjia Aerospace were staying in the hotel, so he came to them for advice. As a result, a dispute occurred between the two parties and the black man unfortunately died.

Oh my God, black people and space enthusiasts, there is no connection at all, this is the only thought that Lin Tianmin had.

America has always made various efforts to dispel people's stereotypes.

If you ask a question on Quora about why there are no black people in NASA, Americans will jump up and refute you like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. They consider this to be extremely offensive.

The Americans reacted like they were in a stress response, first criticizing the questioner, and then answering how many black astronauts and engineers NASA has.

NASA has even publicly stated that we will work hard to increase the diversity of our workforce, and then we will use data to tell you how important black people are in NASA. Black people account for 10.7% of NASA's total employees.

However, in reality, the proportion of black people in technical positions and senior positions at NASA is 2.3% and 1.1% respectively.

If you look closely at the data, you will find that the stereotype is correct.

When Lin Tianmin heard this, he forced himself to hold back his laughter and told himself to hold it together.

"Dr. Lin, you are one of the earliest employees of Light Armor Aerospace and the person in charge of the Light Armor Aerospace rocket launch project. You said that you know nothing about electric-driven rockets. This is a bit too outrageous.

That's like you telling me that the White House Chief of Staff didn't know there was going to be a press conference tomorrow."

Lin Tianmin said helplessly: "I really don't know. I think you should have looked through my phone. Is there any chat record related to electric-driven rockets before the successful launch of the Huaguo electric-driven rocket?"

Lin Tianmin understood from the moment he walked in here that, to put it bluntly, he was being tortured. The Americans would not let him go until he told everyone everything.

Compared with Lin Tianmin, Zhou Jin is much more optimistic. He thinks that after successfully returning to China, this experience can be made into a movie, a transnational rescue, and it would be best if the protagonist is played by the God of Light.

The God of Light is actually a character like Iron Man, who drives his armor to America to carry out the rescue. It is a sci-fi version of Wolf Warrior. The box office of this movie will easily exceed 10 billion.

It just so happened that Guangshen had been a screenwriter before, so this time he took on the responsibilities of screenwriter, director and actor.

Zhou Jin's thoughts were about to float to the sky. When interrogated, he answered simply, "I don't know anything. I am just little Karami."

The brave warriors from Guangjia Aerospace who went to the United States were all being interrogated, and the Chinese people in the Bay Area took action and ran outside to demonstrate in protest.

Blacks and Mexicans are shopping for free, Chinese are protesting, and domestic netizens are fighting across the ocean.

In short, it was very lively. It has been a long time since it was so lively. Everyone found their own ecological niche in this feast.

"I am very happy to invite Yuan Guang to accept our pre-live interview today. Yuan Guang and I are old acquaintances. I remember that when I interviewed Yuan Guang last time, Yuan Guang shouted out the famous slogan 'to bring us the next golden age'.

I believe everyone has a very intuitive feeling about the changes that Yuanguang has brought to our lives.”

The live broadcast organized by CCTV was still conducted by the female host who previously interviewed Chen Yuanguang on the "Everyone" program. Compared with the last time when she was in the studio, this time it was a remote interview.

Even so, the female host still put on a much more delicate makeup than usual.

There is no way, God of Light is too charming. The last speech of the last interview almost made the other party fall for him. I have always regretted not being able to add Chen Yuanguang on WeChat.

"Hello, host, and hello, friends watching TV." Chen Yuanguang is already familiar with interviews.

The female host asked: "Yuan Guang, the rocket jointly launched by China Aerospace and Guangjia Aerospace has attracted global attention. We are all very curious about the ins and outs of this project.

I hope you can tell us in detail.”

The CCTV repeatedly stressed to the host before the interview that the interview should be focused on fun rather than the technology itself.

It is Chen Yuanguang's freedom to say what he wants to say, and the host must not be in a leading manner and ask about some technical details.

“In fact, China Aerospace has been conducting research on electromagnetic drive, and after the emergence of room-temperature superconductivity, their electromagnetic drive has taken a big step forward.

However, some breakthroughs might be needed in some technical details and imagination, and then the space agency approached me and asked if I had any ideas for working together.

It just so happens that Guangjia Aerospace also wants to build a space station. Whether it is France or Blue Origin, including some potential orders, we have a lot of space station orders, and we will have to launch at least dozens of space station modules into space.

Even with the Pioneer series of reusable rockets, the cost is still unbearable. I think electromagnetic drive may be able to solve the problem we face.

As you all know, the space station is just the first step. There is also the space city project, which has an unprecedented demand for space transportation. If we calculate it by total weight, it is at least at the same level as Starlink. "

Starlink satellites have been iterating, from the first generation of 260 kilograms to the latest 2.0 version of 1.25 tons.

The total launch mass of Starlink is difficult to estimate.

"Considering the scale of the launch, SpaceX's idea is Starship, which is a super-heavy reusable rocket. Compared with SpaceX, we have no advantage in engines, and it is difficult for us to surpass SpaceX in making super-heavy reusable rockets.

I think electromagnetic drive might be a way to go. All aspects of electromagnetic drive are actually very mature. Not only electromagnetic drive, the research done by the China National Space Administration is already very specific.

There are already relatively mature plans for some electric-powered rockets, and my work after joining in is more about bringing some new ideas and thoughts.

Achieve the goal by combining different project groups.

This time, the Shenzhou-Guangjia is one of our achievements.

Soon we will launch the space recovery device and broadcast the entire process of the Shenzhou-Guangzhou A launch to recovery live." Chen Yuanguang said.

"Compared with pure electric rockets, composite-powered reusable rockets are more important.

This launch is just a preliminary study for composite-powered reusable rockets." Chen Yuanguang said. The female host opened her eyes wide, looked at Chen Yuanguang on the screen and asked, "Is it because composite-powered reusable rockets are more difficult to use?"

Chen Yuanguang thought for a moment and said, "Not really. It's because the thrust of the electric drive engine is still not enough. Even with the initial speed of the electromagnetic drive, the weight it can carry into space is very light, only 100KG. Compared with the space station modules that weigh several tons, this weight is far from enough.

With such a low carrying capacity, it is more used for us to launch optical satellites, radar satellites, Internet of Things satellites, and Internet satellites.

Of course, it also has great commercial value, but it is of little significance to Light Armor Aerospace.

A very simple example is that new energy vehicles have been very popular in China in recent years, and everyone is focusing on autonomous driving. This involves optical satellites, which can be used to enhance autonomous driving functions.

For example, Geely has previously planned to use 72 satellites to enhance their autonomous driving functions.

Geely’s plan is called the Future Travel Constellation Plan.

"They used SpaceSpace's GSP100 optical satellite platform, which weighs about 1000 kilograms.

Shikong Daoyu also has a GSP50, which weighs only 70KG, but the latter has a shorter service life, while the former has a longer service life. From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, Geely chose the former.

But after the launch of Shenzhou-Guangjia, launching a rocket weighing less than 100 kilograms is as easy as drinking water, and the launch cost per kilogram is less than 100 RMB.

That is to say, when Geely launches a GSP50, as long as their launch cost is only 7000 yuan, Geely will definitely choose to use GSP50 for networking instead of GSP100.

Not only Geely, but Huawei can also choose optical satellites and communication satellites under 100 kilograms to add services to their business.

It is commercially valuable, especially for the new energy and smartphone industries.

I guess Brother Lei will come to me to discuss cooperation after the show is broadcast.

But the composite-powered recoverable rocket has a carrying capacity of 20 tons to low-Earth orbit, which can perfectly meet our requirements and achieve a recovery rate of over 90%.

Once this thing is launched, it can basically be retrieved intact.

Both are important, but the former is easier, so we are already testing it. In the next two days, the official channels of Guangjia Aerospace and Huaguo Aerospace will broadcast the entire process of the electric rocket from launch to recovery. "

If they weren't influenced by America, they wouldn't want to broadcast live.

Everyone wanted to make a fortune in silence, but you jumped out to cause trouble first, so don't blame China for being rude.

By demonstrating the superiority of electric rockets, you will be filled with imagination about more advanced composite-powered rockets.

If this is not enough, here is a PPT of the electromagnetically driven hypersonic missile into orbit.

“Can you briefly tell us what kind of changes this technology will bring after it is implemented on a large scale?” the female host asked, while the director in the earphones was frantically asking her to change the subject.

“The most intuitive one should be autonomous driving. As the difficulty of launching optical satellites decreases, the cost of launching satellites for major new energy vehicle companies will be reduced to a very low level.

Previously, perhaps only large companies like Geely and Huawei had the capital to launch optical satellites to assist in their autonomous driving.

In the future, some second-tier and even third-tier new energy vehicle companies will have such strength.

The entire commercial satellite market size will expand rapidly, and a large number of companies will design rockets below 100KG.

Optical satellites are mainly used to capture images of the earth's surface. For example, the street scenes we can see on Baidu Maps are taken by optical satellites.

In the past, optical satellite imaging was limited to daytime imaging on clear days. If there were clouds, the imaging quality would be seriously affected.

The synthetic aperture radar on the satellite can avoid this risk and can provide clear imaging even in the presence of clouds. The weight and size of synthetic aperture radars have been decreasing rapidly in recent years.

It works perfectly with our electric rockets and can help new energy vehicle companies launch a large number of practical optical satellites.

For some powerful new energy vehicle companies, they can even network satellites and build a satellite constellation to do high-precision mapping.

The scale of the entire industry will be large, and will expand as the scale of China's new energy industry expands.

This is just one example, and there are many more applications.

This is a positive impact that will bring about positive changes in some industries, but it may also bring potential negative impacts.

Given the launch cost of the Shenzhou-Guangzhou A satellite, people are worried that there will be too many artificial satellites, which will cause a chain collision reaction and the probability of satellites colliding and being destroyed will greatly increase.

I think the global aerospace community needs to come together to think about how to solve this problem.”

Just as Europe and the United States can limit the development of late-developing industrial countries through carbon emissions, China can also limit the space development of late-developing countries through the number of satellite launches.

"It's really exciting. In recent years, the automatic driving function of domestic new energy vehicles has been very useful. It is hard to imagine how far they will evolve after a large number of optical satellites are launched into space, and whether they can really allow humans to no longer drive themselves.

Yuanguang, I have always wanted to ask you a question. In the past, there were many commercial aerospace companies in China. But since the emergence of Guangjia Aerospace, both the investment community and the industry have been saying:

Commercial spaceflight is a good business, but whether it is investment or operation, it must develop in a staggered manner with Light Armor Aerospace. Don't even think about competing head-on with Light Armor Aerospace.

In other words, in the eyes of peers and investors, it is impossible for it to compete with Guangjia Aerospace in the same field.

As a matter of fact, we have indeed seen that in just five years, Guangjia Aerospace has achieved many achievements that other commercial aerospace companies cannot achieve in ten or twenty years.

Yuan Guang, I am very curious about how Guangjia Aerospace did it, and what is the secret behind it?"

"I think the most important thing is people. This can only be achieved by fully respecting talents and stimulating their potential," said Chen Yuanguang.

"Yuan Guang, many commercial aerospace companies also respect talents. They offer very good salaries and create a very relaxed environment," asked the female host.

Chen Yuanguang said: "I am also a human being."
