Chapter 512 [Daily Project]

The plan given by the Kyushu Blue Arrows team, to put it bluntly, is a mini version of the Dyson ball in a low-profile version.

It has been proved that this is feasible in terms of technical demonstration, unlike controllable nuclear fusion, which is still struggling on the breakthrough from 0 to 1, otherwise there would not be so many countries launching their own space power station plans, although most The countries are all PPT, and the only ones who can really play well are the rabbit and the eagle sauce.

Knowing that this thing cannot be achieved overnight, it will take ten, twenty or thirty years or even longer to realize it.

But the technical feasibility has been verified. If you really want to do it, it means you have to schedule it now and start doing it, otherwise you will always be stuck on paper.

What's more, the controllable nuclear fusion has not yet broken through from 0 to 1 and has been struggling. The technical feasibility of this space power station has been verified, and there is no reason not to do it.

The technology of the space power station mainly involves three major aspects: one is to send it to the sky for assembly, the other is to establish a ground receiving station, and the third is to operate and maintain it. To achieve these three aspects, dozens of technical branches are needed to complete.

In general, the focus now is on advancing technology upgrades and engineering.

At this time, Tian Jiayi, who was sitting in front of the computer in the study, relayed Fang Hong's words: "The technical feasibility has been verified, so has the economic feasibility of the space solar power station been verified?"

After her question was thrown out, after a while, another participant answered her question: "According to our calculations, it is also economically feasible. Let me start with the conclusion that the ratio of revenue to cost of a space solar power station can reach 1.9, that is, the return on investment of 1 yuan is 1.9 yuan.”

When Fang Hong, who was outside the camera, heard this, he could earn 90 cents for a profit of 1 yuan, and the profit rate reached 90%. After all levels of industries were allocated, the final net profit rate could at least exceed 35%, which was a bloody profit. business.

At the same time, the participant said: "The biggest part of the space photovoltaic power station is the modular production of solar panels. The huge demand will greatly spread the cost, but it is the cheapest part of the entire space photovoltaic power station."

"Another big cost is the transportation of rockets. This is the housekeeping skill of our Kyushu Blue Arrow. Although the 'Blue Arrow No. 1' to be tested is a traditional rocket, our ultimate goal is to be recyclable and reused. At that time, the launch Costs will be drastically reduced."

After a while, Xiang Lanzhi, who attended the meeting, said: "According to our plan, the launch of the major components of the space solar power station will not be directly transported to the geostationary orbit for installation, but will be continuously launched by recyclable rockets. The original modules of the major components are sent to low-Earth orbit. So, we need a space station of our own to operate in orbit.”

"In low-earth orbit, there will be a group of spacecraft full of fuel waiting. There will be a space refueling station, which will be part-time by the space station, and then the space solar power station module components will be transported back and forth between low-earth orbit and low-to-medium orbit. After the low orbit, it assembles and unfolds the solar panels by itself, and then sends itself to the final geostationary orbit through its own electric propulsion engine to complete the docking and assembly with other modules."

The previous participant said again: "With the entry of our Kyushu Blue Arrow and the solution to recoverable rocket technology, the overall launch cost will be reduced by half."

He eloquently said to the funder's father: "And for such a large project as the space solar power station, as long as it is confirmed to start, the required load must be 10,000 tons, and the required launch needs are hundreds of times. The demand for commercial launches will further expand the size of the entire aerospace market on the basis of existing commercial satellite launches, and the cost will drop sharply.”

"Our final economic feasibility report calculates that the cost of space solar power plants is in the range of 300 to 600 yuan per thousand kilowatt-hours, which is not much different from other clean energy sources at present, or even lower. , and it can also drive a bunch of industries, and the GDP multiplier is very impressive.”

Fang Hong outside the camera didn't say a word, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

Compared with this seemingly extremely sci-fi super project, many prerequisites need to be solved. In terms of economic feasibility, such as the development of photovoltaic technology, in the memory of previous lives, it is not without reason that the country is madly promoting the development of solar photovoltaic technology .

In such a short period of time, the photovoltaic industry has been driven to overcapacity, leading the world in photovoltaic technology. Various photovoltaic panels are laid everywhere in the northwest of the country. Manufacturers such as Granville, Trina Solar, etc. are all over the place.

The vigorous development of these enterprises is not only to meet the current demand for clean energy alternatives, but also for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Another level is to reduce the cost of photovoltaics and lay the foundation for future-oriented space solar power stations.

Based on the current situation, it is natural to develop a large number of enterprises related to the photovoltaic industry. Not only must they survive, but they must also develop into world-class photovoltaic enterprises.

In Fang Hong’s past life memory, domestic development in the field of photovoltaics was indeed the world’s leader, accounting for more than 70% of the global market share, so that Europe and the United States frequently suppressed, and even banned the import of photovoltaic products from the Greater China market, because foreign Photovoltaic enterprises cannot compete under normal market competition rules.

One of the answers to the question will come out here.

Support the development of the photovoltaic industry so that domestic photovoltaic companies can survive and develop. First, we will spread photovoltaics on the ground crazily, and then we will reduce the cost first. By the way, we will create a group of world-class photovoltaic giants, and then upgrade and develop more advanced ones. photovoltaic technology.

Solving these problems is not only a solution to the current problems, but also a foreshadowing for the future.

In the future, when the super project of space solar energy power station will be formally promoted into construction, a complete set of photovoltaic industry system has been successfully established behind it and has a complete set of photovoltaic industry system as strong support. It is absolutely unbearable to demand a photovoltaic manufacturer, and the cost sharing will further drop sharply.

What Kyushu Blue Arrow needs to solve is to reduce the launch cost and light up the rocket recovery technology.

With the end of the video conference, Tian Jiayi turned his head to look at Fang Hong: "Space Photovoltaic Power Station, should we follow Qunxing Capital or not?"

Once it is established, it must be entered into the market. This must be an epic engineering project, and the basic unit of measurement for the funds that need to be invested is also "hundred billion" level.

Fang Hong said without hesitation: "Of course we have to follow. The technical feasibility has been verified, and the economic feasibility has also been verified. Why not follow?"

After pausing for a moment, Fang Hong was reviewing the memory information of his previous life in his mind, and at the same time ordered: "It is planned to establish a space solar power station system project, called the 'Daily Project', and the goal is to build the first experimental solar power plant around 2025. Photovoltaic power station, the first commercial-level space photovoltaic power station will be built around 2035, and it will become the mainstream of power generation around 2050."

Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and added: "Based on the 'Daily Project' plan, Qunxing Capital will now super double its current investment in the new energy industry, especially in the photovoltaic industry, and must achieve leadership in photovoltaic technology. It surpasses other countries by a large margin.”

Speaking of this, Fang Hong smiled lightly: "How to make money in the future? There are many ways, including accepting orders from other countries, helping them build space power stations, or going to them for countries and regions with poor economic strength Establish a ground receiving station to supply power to the area, export light energy directly, and send electricity wherever it is needed."

Tian Jiayi was making a record memo. At this moment, Fang Hong suddenly added: "By the way, according to Xiang Lanzhi's statement just now, the space solar power station has two transmission methods. One is to transmit to the ground in the form of microwaves. , and the other is delivered to the ground by laser."

Hearing this, Tian Jiayi nodded and said, "Well, Xiang Lanzhi suggested using microwaves. The laser transmission method has a potential orbit-to-ground military strike capability. She is worried that it will cause political risks internationally..."

Fang Hong didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said bluntly: "Then it will be even more important, and it must be done. We have always walked on two legs. The microwave method is used for commercial and civilian use, and the laser method is used for military use. Both are high. The laser transmission method is done in secret, top secret."

Children make choices, adults want them all.
