Chapter 385 We don’t change, but we keep changing

Arclight Aerospace Exploration Company's space center has been under construction at a high speed, and it was not idle for a moment when Huajian Eighth Engineering Bureau received this order.

This can be said to be a big business deal, but it can also be said to be an arduous political task.

They belong to a state-owned construction group and usually receive many construction tasks, including confidential construction tasks. They understand the meaning behind the establishment of Arc Light Aerospace Exploration Company.

There had never been such a large-scale aerospace company in China before. That is to say, some college students started their own business in a small way. Even if the valuation exceeds 100 million, the basic nature of the company would still not change.

The situation here in Arc Light is different. It is not an easy matter for China to agree to the establishment of such a large private aerospace company.

Let’s not talk about whether Arc Light can do a good job as an aerospace company. Just if the country can agree, this is already a big step.

It seems that in the coming space age, the country alone is indeed a bit unable to do what it wants. If it wants to continue to move forward, attempts and changes must continue.

"Standing still" or "keeping constant in response to ever-changing changes" are not suitable for this era of rapid development. Letting private capital join in is already a bold attempt.

I just didn’t expect that the Arc Light Group would be the first to try something new.

So when Huajian Eighth Bureau received the order, it started to build it wholeheartedly. After all, everyone wants to succeed when trying, and Huajian Eighth Bureau did not want this attempt to fail due to its own reasons.

Since there are no complex rocket launch platforms, rocket transfer platforms, rocket assembly buildings and other major buildings in the existing space base, coupled with the non-stop construction 24 hours a day, it can be said that the construction is very fast.

Because the Arc Light Group is so famous now, the construction progress of its space center is being watched by the world. It can be said that there is constant news every day.

Such a big construction project cannot be stopped even if we want to.

The outside world is also analyzing everything that can be analyzed from the construction site that changes day by day.

First of all, the construction speed of the "Infrastructure Maniac" is too fast. In just a few months, a space center is almost completed.

Looking at the progress, it is now October 2018, and it is estimated that it will be completed by November.

Then from the architectural composition of the Arc Space Center, we can know that the Arc Light Group has really completely given up on launch vehicles. It may be that as they announced to the outside world, they specialize in aerospace planes, orbital shuttles, spacecraft and other aircraft.

The reason for avoiding the launch vehicle that China is currently vigorously developing should be to avoid duplication of capital expenditure.

In the eyes of the outside world, this must be the result of China's influence. Now that China's launch vehicles are developing very rapidly, there is no need for private capital to conduct secondary research.

And in the long run, launch vehicles will definitely be eliminated.

It's different with aerospace planes or spaceships. They will be the main force for a long time to come.

According to outside speculation, China should provide part of its aerospace aircraft technology, and Arclight Group will provide the money. Both parties will get what they need and develop together, pursuing the path of military-civilian integration.

China's development in the aerospace field is not unsatisfactory, but after all, it started late and lacks experience.

And in the eyes of the outside world, China's investment in the aerospace field is too little.

Although China can always do the most with the least money, there must be a delay in this time. After all, the allusion of "It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice" is not unique to China. Even if other countries do not have this saying, similar stories There must be.

If you don't have money, you can talk for free. You can only think about many things, and some research progress will definitely be affected.

If the money is in place, or if there are enough funds, then the progress of China's aerospace industry can definitely reach several levels.

Now it seems that China is going to take this path.

Open private capital into the aerospace field, and then the country will focus on launch vehicles, and resources may also be tilted. Then the research and development progress of various new launch vehicles can definitely be accelerated, and it should be no problem to cope with the initial construction and exploration of the space age. .

Then the aerospace plane project being studied may be transferred to Arc Light Aerospace, using the financial resources and talents of Arc Light Group and combining their own technology and talents to research aerospace planes or spacecrafts.

Judging from the astonishing budget and investment disclosed by Arclight Group, this possibility is very large.

However, some people also have other opinions, that is, this kind of aerospace industry obviously has no hope of recovering its capital in the short term. With such a large initial investment in Arclight, it is obvious that it will go bankrupt.

In particular, major aerospace countries are studying aerospace aircraft projects, but it is basically unclear when they will be officially put into use. This is simply a bottomless pit.

Arclight Group is simply sick enough to invest in this kind of industry, and spend so much money at once just waiting to go bankrupt.

Others say that the Arc Light Group must have been kidnapped by the state and forced to pay the money. Otherwise, the Arc Light Group is sick and is developing well. How could it suddenly invest in such an unfamiliar industry?

Although the aerospace industry in various countries is developing rapidly, they are rushing towards the moon and Mars, and various plans are being launched one after another.

The United States even plans to "return to the moon" and "colonize Mars" in the short term.

All this is booming, and it seems that the great space era is coming, but this is where it ends.

There will still not be much change in a few decades. It is still a national game, and private aerospace groups are still relying on state orders and subsidies.

In any case, the Arc Light Group has never been a hot topic in the news, and there is a lot of noise from all aspects. It works harder than the Arc Light Group itself, which saves a lot of advertising fees.

In fact...well, just be happy.

Guess as much as you want.

Amid the turmoil from the outside world, the space center is getting closer and closer to completion.

And all the friends Gao Ze and the others had found also came.

Even Fang Dingbo, who was planting trees in the Taklimakan Desert, rushed back to greet his friends.

Of course, mainly one of the international friends.

The friends they invited came one after another, and it was impossible to get together. They had nothing to do today, and none of their friends came, but they all arrived without missing a beat.

Just waiting to see this scene.

Everyone has a tendency to gossip, let alone a group of shameless good friends.

This guy looks so calm and honest, but he didn't expect that he has a good friend from the United States, and a female friend.

They had seen photos of this Catherine before. Not to mention how stunning they were, but they were also in line with Chinese aesthetics.

Although Fang Dingbo did not admit that she was his girlfriend, they could see that this was undoubtedly the future Sister-in-law.

Wait, something strange has sneaked in, let's call her Mrs. Fang.

It must be Mrs. Fang, no doubt.

The airport is a public place, and they can be considered public figures, especially Dong Chen. More people know him.

So this time they all dressed up a little, especially Dong Chen, who wore a hat to cover his iconic bald head, which immediately reduced the number of heads turning a lot.

Add some sunglasses and you're all set.

They immediately met Catherine at the airport exit, almost the same as in the photo.

Yeah, she seems like an honest girl.

Seeing Catherine coming out, Fang Dingbo quickly went to pick up the luggage in her hand, but Catherine gave him a warm hug.

Seeing this scene, Dong Chen and the others wanted to raise their eyebrows at Dingbo, but they all wore black sunglasses, so they had no choice but to give up.

They neatly said to Catherine, "Hello, sister-in-law!"

They looked like a group of people on the street.

Fang Dingbo was stunned for a while, but Catherine didn't think anything. Apparently Fang Dingbo told her a lot about the situation.

She said generously, "Hello, nice to meet you."

The second update is the same as yesterday
