Genius is just the threshold for me!

"Let me see."

Engineer Cai nodded and pulled out the project documents inside, flipping through them page by page.

But after flipping through less than three pages, his expression froze. He looked up at Su Ruohua with a slightly bewildered expression: "Sister Su, is Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's space laboratory a space station?"

"The final design will probably be a bit larger than the current International Space Station," Su Ruohua nodded.

The International Space Station (ISS) was jointly designed and built by Russia and the United States in the 1990s. It took 13 years to complete and was finally finished in 2011. It is a super space station with a total mass of 438 tons.

In comparison, China's current space station is designed with three modules and a total mass of only 66 tons.

However, as Russia weakened, the US space program slowed down. Less than five years after its completion, the maintenance of the International Space Station began to become more restrictive.

However, according to Lin Dong's requirements, the space laboratory he planned must have a minimum weight of 500 tons and an objective weight of 1,000 tons.

"Sister Su, you call this a small project?"

Engineer Cai took a breath, flipped through a few more pages and saw the initial 500 billion in funding. He suddenly couldn't hold back and said, "Wait, I don't have that much authority... I'll call the director over."

Su Ruohua herself is an expert reviewer; the materials and arguments are fine. The problem lies with the project itself, and the funding...

Thinking of this, Engineer Cai picked up the internal phone and quickly dialed a number, saying urgently, "Director, come over." Less than two minutes later, the director of the center office rushed over like a bank lobby manager who had been called for authorization.

"Old Cai, what project is in such a hurry?"

Director Tang pushed open the door and walked in. He paused for a moment when he saw Su Ruohua and Wang Xingguo, then said, "Engineer Su, Chief Engineer Wang, is this your Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group project?"

He was one of the people in charge of the construction of the aerospace research and production base by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and the secondment of Su Ruohua from the Northwest to be in charge. He knew about it a long time ago as the director of the center office.

Seeing the two of them here, it became clear that Lao Cai was having trouble managing the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group project.

"A satellite project." Su Ruohua nodded with a smile.

"Let me see."

Director Tang took the project materials, read a few pages, then stopped, looked up at Su Ruohua and Wang Xingguo: "Chief Engineer Wang, Engineer Su, you've gone a bit too far with this project."

As he spoke, Director Tang also said with a bit of a headache, "You all know about these things. The space station strategy has always been the responsibility of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology."

They've been conducting preliminary technical feasibility studies for decades, and now they're preparing to launch Tiangong-2 to verify the mid-term astronaut stay program. Suddenly, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group wants to get involved, considering all that preliminary feasibility studies and funding..."

A space station requires permanent personnel; it's not simply a matter of launching a space station. It requires a complete set of preliminary technical demonstrations.

From the Shenzhou spacecraft launching its return capsule to the Shenzhou V and Shenzhou VI manned spacecraft, the technology for manned round-trip travel between Earth and space has been demonstrated.

From the Shenzhou-7 astronauts' extravehicular activity to the docking of Tiangong-2 with the Shenzhou spacecraft, the demonstration and mastery of core technologies such as space rendezvous and docking, on-orbit propellant replenishment, and medium-term astronaut stays.

Only when all these technologies are successfully implemented can the construction of a space station and the establishment of a long-term space station and space laboratory be carried out.

:

The Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has now completed the demonstrations for astronaut extravehicular activity and space docking. The next step is the launch of Tiangong-2 to demonstrate the medium-term astronaut stay, followed by the launch of the Tianzhou spacecraft to demonstrate the in-orbit resupply of propellants...

The entire strategy has been in place for over twenty years.

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) is now building a space laboratory, and these preliminary technologies are indispensable...

Starting over would be a waste of resources, but if we don't start over and use the technology and data from the Fifth Academy, they won't agree.

Finally, there's the issue of funding. A space station project costs at least tens of billions of yuan, and the pressure is already immense with just one space station. If a second one were to come up, the center simply wouldn't have the funds.

"Director, we don't need the center's funds; we'll handle the funding ourselves..."

Su Ruohua chuckled lightly and said without blinking, "As for the Fifth Academy, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group certainly wouldn't dare let them suffer a loss."

The Fifth Academy's R&D costs for the entire process from Shenzhou to manned spaceflight totaled 200 billion yuan, and the costs for the entire process from manned spaceflight to space rendezvous and docking totaled approximately 190 billion yuan, bringing the total to 390 billion yuan...

We've completed half of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's project, plus some additional personnel compensation, totaling 240 billion yuan.

But is it alright for Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) to share the preliminary technical data from Shenzhou spacecraft to Tiangong-2, which was launched this year?

"You, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, funded the construction yourself? And you even paid the Fifth Academy 240 billion yuan in technology sharing fees?"

Director Tang's eyes widened in surprise, and Engineer Cai next to him was also dumbfounded. The two of them looked at Su Ruohua and Wang Xingguo with some confusion.

Good guy.

They originally thought Su Ruohua was there to review the project, but considering her identity, they didn't know how to handle the situation.

But unexpectedly, it turned out that the God of Wealth had come.

"Director Tang, page thirteen contains an explanation of the project's costs," Wang Xingguo reminded him from the side.

Upon hearing this, Director Tang immediately flipped to page thirteen, looked at it for a while, and then looked up at Wang Xingguo with an incredulous expression.

"Chief Engineer Wang, is Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group really that wealthy? And would your internal organization agree to this?"

"I don't know how much money we have. Over the past few years, we've earned hundreds of billions from various technology dividends, export trade, and domestic equipment procurement. Most of it has been handed over to the government, and these tens of billions are our retained funds."

Wang Xingguo said helplessly, "Well, I thought it wouldn't be good to leave so much money lying in the bank unused. Setting up a space laboratory can be considered as contributing to the country's scientific research strategy."

Our internal organization members, upon hearing that it was for the service of the country, were all in favor of the proposal, and it was passed unanimously at the meeting.

"...Awesome!"

Director Tang was speechless for a moment when he saw Wang Xingguo's Versailles-like demeanor, and it took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sound.

"I contacted the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology... If you provide the funds, it's just a waste of resources to repeat the preliminary feasibility studies, so the problem isn't that big of a deal."

Once your departments finalize the results, the center will conduct a review and verification, and then the Development and Reform Commission will approve it.

:

Director Tang reviewed the project materials again, noting the allocation of funds and the clear stipulations regarding the investment of 24 billion yuan to purchase the complete set of preliminary technologies and data from the Fifth Academy up to Tiangong-2. He then took out his phone and began contacting the aerospace technology department.

From the perspective of the central government, the fact that Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) is funding the space station itself without providing any funding is a great thing, comparable to celebrating the New Year.

As for the Fifth Academy, although they were very unhappy that Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group had another competitor in the space station project, they could only curse it as a nouveau riche and accept it reluctantly, considering the attitude of the central government and the 240 billion yuan funding.

of course.

The core reason is that Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has sufficient experience. It is a highly classified military industrial unit engaged in the research and development of weapons and equipment, and now it also has its own aerospace research and production base...

For most companies, let alone 240 billion, even several times more 240 billion wouldn't be enough to reach this level of strategic data.

At six o'clock in the evening, in order to perform the whole scene.

After school, Hsu Ching-ling went straight to Lin Dong’s house to visit the “patient” who had taken sick leave.

"Dongdong, open your mouth."

The only official website address for this novel is: ".". The website owner has only this one website, and other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Xu Qingling cut half a seedless watermelon into small pieces, sat down next to Lin Dong, and casually used a fork to feed him a piece.

"How did the exam go?"

Lin Dong took the watermelon, took a bite, savoring its refreshing sweetness, and muttered a question while looking at the report on his laptop.

"Effortless mastery, top five in the grade guaranteed."

Xu Qingling answered confidently, then ate a piece of watermelon herself and, watching Lin Dong work, asked, "What's the personnel list for that aerospace research and production base of Empress Su?"

"Um."

Lin Dong nodded, looking at the personnel list that was clearly lacking core personnel. After thinking for a moment, he said to Xu Qingling, "What do you think about letting Uncle Xu take charge of the aerospace base's affairs, to give him more responsibility?"

For high-end industries like aerospace, the top-level strategic talents are all in the aerospace science and technology and aerospace industry sectors.

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) forcibly brought in Su Ruohua as its head, prompting both major corporations to file a complaint with the headquarters of China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC).

Ultimately, because of the marital relationship between Wang Xingguo and Su Ruohua, Wang Xingguo said at the meeting, "He has dedicated decades to the Northwest and is now returning home a few years early. What are you all complaining about? Whoever is complaining should go back to the Northwest for the next few decades before speaking." This ended the dispute in one fell swoop.

But Su Ruohua alone is clearly not enough to support the operation of the entire base.

After all, Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's base is not the kind of commercial aerospace company that launches small rockets, but a base that plans to develop medium-sized rockets, large space stations, and eventually large and heavy rockets.

"Didn't Lady Su recruit some people?" Xu Qingling asked.

"Some of the core staff have managed to keep the middle management afloat, and the college graduates working at the grassroots level are also doing well."

:

Lin Dong gently shook his head: "But there are still many vacancies for top-level core personnel. This type of talent is needed all over the country, and it's very difficult to find them. And if we could, it would be too much of a sin..."

No matter what industry it is, top-level talent is the most crucial element.

The last time AVIC transferred Xia Tianqiang and his wife from Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group remembered it for several years. Moreover, at that time, Xia Tianqiang was only a core talent and could not be considered a top-level strategic talent.

"Is Daddy okay?"

Xu Qingling asked, "He was previously in charge of researching and manufacturing aircraft."

"There are professional barriers to overall R&D, but Uncle Xu is in charge of manufacturing, assembly and technology development, so there are no barriers in the aerospace field."

Lin Dong smiled and said that although Xu Ziming's work also included a research and development component, the overall design and research and development department provided a general plan and indicators for this research and development work, so there was no need to consider the overall situation.

Now that we've switched from aviation to aerospace, as long as there are no major problems with the overall research and development, there's no significant difference in the work.

"Then tell him... he hates it when he suddenly has extra work."

Xu Qingling handed Lin Dong a slice of watermelon and said with a smile, "I told him to be careful, or he'll accuse you of using me as a shield again."

"Alright."

Lin Dong nodded: "We should also put Xia Tianqiang, Uncle Xia, in charge of aerospace matters. He has a double doctorate in aerospace manufacturing and electronics. Other core personnel of general modules should also take on both roles for a year or two. Once the reserve personnel are trained, it won't be so troublesome..."

Ding-dong! Ding-dong—

At this moment, Lin Dong's secure cell phone, which was placed in front of him, kept ringing, and several messages popped up in succession.

【001】: Today's business is done. The headquarters meeting has confirmed that the J-20 project still needs to be launched as soon as possible. The project launch document will be sent over tomorrow.

After repeated discussions and confirmations, the headquarters staff concluded that one Ghost ship is not enough to support the strategy, and that countermeasures will be developed within two years.

【001】: The satellite project of the space laboratory at the aerospace base is all set. We just need to wait for the National Development and Reform Commission to complete the procedures tomorrow and then copy the preliminary data from the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology.

【001】: Aerospace Science and Technology and those guys from the Fifth Academy, they're all so poor they've never seen the world before. They were green with envy when 240 billion was thrown over. I should have known better than to give them so much.

[001]: We're going back tomorrow. There are still some details to discuss when we get back...

"Is there also a J-20 project?"

Seeing the content revealed when Lin Dong unlocked his phone, Xu Qingling asked with some concern, "Dongdong, are you sure you can handle this?"

"Fortunately, the workday has been reduced from one hour to one and a half hours... The Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group team has made great progress."

Lin Dong smiled, picked up his phone, and sent Wang Xingguo a message saying he had received the message.
