Chapter 136 Planning a Rocket Launch Base
Qiao Guojin was worried about Jiang Fan's idea. This was not graphene batteries and solar panels, but a rocket launch system for launching satellites.

At present, it seems that Jiang Fan's research is successful, and the research cost is very small.

Jiang Fan is different from other scientists. He is always worried about investing in other scientists' research projects.

Because other research projects are expensive and the research cycle is long, this is not a problem. The main reason is that the research may fail or the research may stagnate.

Jiang Fan also spends a lot of money on scientific research, with the biggest expense being the purchase of a production line.

The second is to buy the world's top research equipment.

The production line was said to be an investment in scientific research projects, but in fact it was purchased to prepare for production.

But the previous research, the current research is on rocket launch systems.

As soon as you hear this research, you will know that it is very expensive.

In 2020, my country's aerospace industry invested US$132.8 billion.

Even though the investment in one year is not as much as that of Nongxing Company.

But the country has continued decades of investment and decades of research.

It is very troublesome for Pangu Xinhuo to improve its rocket launch system.

Even if Jiang Fan is powerful, certain technologies that can improve the rocket system are still a drop in the bucket for the entire launch system.

Rocket launch is a systematic project that requires a team rather than relying on a few people and skills.

It can be seen from the past of Starlink Company that it cannot be realized in a short time. This is a long-term project.

Qiao Guojin felt that Jiang Fan was too busy with too much money and had no use for it, so he turned to Starlink Company.

Musk said, 'Companies should be socially responsible, lead the development of the times, and promote social progress, not just make money. '

But in the final analysis, Starlink is an act of the state. Starlink is promoted by the state to attract attention, but Starlink actually serves the country.

If Jiang Fan wants to develop Starlink, he doesn't know whether he can improve the rocket launch system, but he knows that Jiang Fan must get the support of the country.

Qiao Guojin looked at Jiang Fan and asked seriously: "Boss, do you really want to improve the launch system?"

He wanted to make sure Jiang Fan wasn't hot-headed.

Jiang Fan nodded seriously and said, "Yes."

With the auxiliary brain, his goal is the stars and the sea, and it will be a matter of time before he reaches heaven.

After a pause, he continued: "We need to have our own launch base."

Qiao Guojin nodded. The launch base was easy to handle. It was just a matter of buying a piece of land in a desolate area and then building a launch base.

The rocket launch base is not a nuclear power plant. It is easy to build. What is difficult is the supporting equipment.

After getting along with each other for a period of time, he knew that Jiang Fan had always done things vigorously and resolutely. He knew what Jiang Fan wanted. To put it simply, he wanted to find a base with complete facilities, buy it, and then wait for Jiang Fan to improve his technology.

There are several private rocket launch companies in the country, but the equity in them is very complicated, and Jiang Fan probably won't like them.

It is better to build your own rocket launch base.

Qiao Guojin said bluntly: "Boss, this time is different from before. We need to build our own launch base."

"Fortunately, Virgin Orbit has gone bankrupt, so we can recruit some employees and purchase some equipment."

"In addition to Virgin employees, we also need the support of the country to provide some people and guide us in building the launch base."

It is not easy to directly buy a rocket company in China.

Jiang Fan immediately agreed: "No problem, just go ahead and do it!"

Qiao Guojin did not leave immediately, but reminded: "Boss, the next plan..."

Jiang Fan looked at the thick stack of information in front of him, rubbed his temples, and then looked at the catalog.

There are dozens of industries in the catalog alone. He did not look at the specific content at the back. The specific content can be read later, and Qiao Guojin will improve the plan.

He only gave his opinion based on the name: "The new energy vehicle industry can be used, but electric motorcycles and electric bicycles must be added."

..."Battery air conditioners are fine."

……

"Battery-based refrigerators are fine."

……

Jiang Fan looked at each item and gave his own opinion.

Of course, this is just a preliminary opinion. If it works, Qiao Guojin will ask his subordinates to follow up. If it doesn't work, Qiao Guojin will argue with Jiang Fan.

All electrical appliances are Qiao Guojin's goals. In Qiao Guojin's eyes, all electrical appliances can now be powered by batteries. The only issue that needs to be considered is the application scenarios of these electrical appliances.

It took Jiang Fan a week to process Qiao Guojin's planning document.

It can only be said that Qiao Guojin is very greedy. According to the plan, Qiao Guojin wants to change all electrical appliances to battery power.

But Jiang Fan doesn't need to worry about these, just leave them to Qiao Guojin.

What Jiang Fan needs to deal with is cooperation with the military.

After a week of consideration, the military basically agreed to Jiang Fan's conditions. Of course, the specific regulations required both parties to send professional teams to negotiate.

However, the military also has a request, requiring Jiang Fan to participate in the improvement of battery technology, not to mention ten thousand times, at least to achieve a thousand times of energy storage.

Military industry stuff still needs to be more advanced!

It’s just that Jiang Fan really doesn’t want to do it!

The current production equipment is the most cost-effective.

With the accuracy of existing equipment, increasing the energy storage capacity of the battery to a thousand times means using ten layers of graphene material. Not only will the difficulty of controlling 3.5nm materials increase, the yield will also decrease.

To achieve a thousand times energy storage, he had to start from scratch and go to the electronics factory to build a production line with better precision.

If it were that simple, he would have started with a thousand times instead of a hundred times.

He could only decline again.

After another week of negotiations, Jiang Fan still didn't let go. Xu Yunlu, who negotiated with him last time, came over.

Jiang Fan, who had just rested for a week, could only come to Nongxing Company.

The two met alone in a conference room.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Xu Yunlu sighed: "Don't your company consider changing to another building?"

The headquarters office area of ​​Nongxing Company is a five-story building in a factory building, which is too small and does not fit the size of Nongxing Company.

He passed by the office area and just took a look and found that it was very crowded.

Jiang Fan explained casually: "This building is just a temporary office building. We have purchased several buildings and are currently renovating them."

Xu Yunlu asked: "Still in Lingcheng?"

"Actually, you can move to Beibu Bay."

"The offshore waters of Beibu Gulf are more suitable for the development of our company."

Lingcheng is a small county town, more than 100 kilometers away from the seaside, and is not suitable for large companies to reside there.

Jiang Fan shook his head and said casually: "As long as there is a highway in Lingcheng, the headquarters is not a production base."

Agriculture in most areas relies on truck transportation.

It is not a big problem for Nongxing Company to set its headquarters here.

Before Xu Yunlu could speak further, Jiang Fan asked directly: "What is the purpose of your coming here? You should just make it clear!"

Xu Yunlu's carelessness in talking about other things is nothing more than trying to get close. Unfortunately, he doesn't like this.
