Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 2014 Achieving the Goal 15

Now that France has made concessions, it must speed up negotiations with Saudi Arabia; fortunately, the two sides have a deep friendship and can be regarded as half of our own people; neither will make excessive demands, so it is relatively simple!

Prince Sultan and the Saudi Crown Prince also know that a quick decision must be made. The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be. If the Americans interfere, it will not end well in the end.

The first and only rocket launch base in the Middle East poses a considerable threat to Israel. The influence of Jews in the United States and even around the world is unparalleled by other races.

Saudi Arabia has a large launch vehicle, so it is not too simple to use missiles to attack the Israeli mainland. The pressure on the Jews is already great enough, and they certainly don’t want to have the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They will definitely try their best to stop it; they will also move out of the United States, and Saudi Arabia will also have to bear a lot of pressure.

But as long as the project is implemented, things will be different; even if the Americans are domineering, they cannot hinder other countries from exploring space. Space belongs not only to the United States and the Soviet Union, but to all mankind.

In order to show their sincerity, the Saudi Crown Prince and Prince Sultan specially came to Bao Zixuan's residence. At this moment, the relationship between the two parties is not that of father-in-law and son-in-law, but equal partners.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "It's better for you to be comfortable here. Get me a set that day."

When it comes to which house in Saudi Arabia has the most modern decoration and high-tech content, Bao Shaofu definitely has the upper hand; almost all the advanced products produced by Heiyun Group can be seen. Some are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been launched on the market; of course, the main reason is that the cost cannot be lowered and ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

But apart from money, Bao Zixuan really doesn't know what else there is; cost here is not a problem at all.

If my father-in-law wants it, he will definitely give it to me for free; he can only advance the money himself, otherwise the company will not be able to settle the accounts!

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "No problem, I will have someone do the on-site measurement later."

The crown prince smiled and said: "You can't just enjoy it alone, my family also needs it!"

For the sake of what has been said, it would be impolite to disagree. It does cost a lot, but some people are destined not to take advantage. I believe he will not suffer.

Bao Zixuan: "It's easy to talk about, let's arrange it together!"

Home decoration and modern furniture are just appetizers; to put it bluntly, it's more like finding topics to bring people closer together.

It may not matter with Prince Sultan, but after all, the crown prince is with him; you still have to pay attention.

Prince Sultan thought for a moment and said: "Can you give a detailed introduction about your cooperation in building a rocket R\u0026D and launch base?"

Saudi Arabia's industrial base is relatively weak, even with the support of Heiyun Group for so many years; but it is not as cold as a day, and Bao's focus is not here; the development speed is not as fast as expected.

Therefore, in the so-called joint construction of a rocket launch base, Saudi Arabia mainly provides land and funds; the technology is mainly solved by Heiyun Group. There is indeed no shortage of land and funds in Saudi Arabia; but if there is an analysis by both parties, the project will be unfinished! It will also completely offend the United States, and Saudi Arabia simply cannot afford it.

Many things must be explained clearly in advance to avoid disagreements in the future; this is not very good for both parties!

Without any hesitation, Bao Zixuan turned on the computer directly; the projector responded instantly.

The huge launch platform has rockets to match it; just looking at the renderings is very shocking. The two members of the Saudi royal family have seen the big scene; but after seeing it, they still couldn't calm down.

If such an important weapon can be established in Saudi Arabia, then no one will be afraid of it in the future; its self-protection capability will definitely increase by several orders of magnitude.

As the photos switched, Bao Zixuan continued: "Saudi Arabia is a low-latitude country and has more advantages than the Soviet Union in launching rockets."

"Due to the characteristics of the Earth's rotation, launching spacecraft can rely on the Earth's rotation speed; but the linear speed of the Earth's rotation is different at different latitudes. The lower the latitude, the greater the linear speed of rotation; that is to say, the same launch vehicle is launched at low latitudes The carrying capacity of a spacecraft is larger, and the carrying capacity of a spacecraft launched in high latitudes is smaller."

"Similarly; if a spacecraft is launched in the direction of the Earth's rotation, its carrying capacity will be greater; if a spacecraft is launched in the direction of the Earth's rotation, its carrying capacity will be reduced."

"In addition, the earth's orbit will have a greater impact on the carrying capacity of the launch vehicle. When the same launch vehicle launches a low-Earth orbit spacecraft, the carrying capacity is greater; when launching a high-orbit satellite, the carrying capacity is low; when launching a deep space probe Carrying capacity will be lower.”

"As long as it is operated properly, it will be more cost-effective; in fact, it is not just rockets, but missiles of the same type; the launch range in Saudi Arabia is longer."

"Not only do we need to build a rocket research and development, production, and launch base, but we also need a series of supporting space facilities. We plan to send Saudi astronauts into space within ten years."

The renderings have been seen, and the cost advantage is vague; but it is basically clear what is going on. But after sending Saudi astronauts into space within ten years, the two immediately became uneasy.

You must know that the only countries that can send astronauts into space independently are the United States and the Soviet Union; but even the five permanent members of the United Nations do not have the strength. This is the rhythm of taking off. If Saudi astronauts really go into space, it will not only be an issue of improving national power, but also involve the transformation of the national economy.

Fossil energy such as oil and natural gas will eventually be mined; the royal family has been thinking about what Saudi Arabia will rely on to support its economy. It is very unreliable to make profits by investing abroad alone; it is okay when the relationship is good and there is no threat to him, but if there is a breakup, I will be sorry.

Not only will no profit be made, but the principal will be frozen. If you want to transform, you can only find a way from within the country; eggs cannot be put in the same basket, let alone someone else’s basket!

The aerospace industry has always been a standard feature of big countries; it is also a technological pearl level.

If Saudi Arabia has a complete aerospace industry, the industrial level of the entire country will rise by more than one level. At that time, any country that wants to attack Saudi Arabia must consider whether it has sufficient strength.

The Saudi Crown Prince said with a serious expression: "We can really send Saudi astronauts into space within ten years."

If it were not for Bao Zixuan, the Saudis would not believe it even if they were stupid. But the other party is the world's richest man who has created countless miracles, so the matter is a different matter.

No matter how you believe it, you still have to ask clearly; after all, the matter is of great importance and involves the future national planning of Saudi Arabia.

The richest man, Bao, didn't write anything, and said very firmly: "Within a week, Heiyun Group will fully acquire the French Safran Group. By then, the rocket engine manufacturing capacity will be greatly improved."

"Even if the acquisition of Safran Group fails as planned, don't worry; many rocket experts in the Soviet Union, many of whom are technical authorities who have participated in Mars exploration missions, have already secretly joined the Black Cloud Group."

"It's just out of favor that it's difficult to announce it directly; not only will they come here by themselves, but they will also bring the technical drawings with them. So don't talk about sending Saudi astronauts into space, even to the moon; there is no big problem."

"In fact, the Soviet Union has already formulated a detailed moon landing plan, but it was limited to manufacturing precision and eagerness for success; coupled with insufficient economic strength, it was not completed."

"Intelligence shows that the moon landing rocket has been manufactured a long time ago and has been launched multiple times. Due to various reasons, it all ended in failure!"

"So in the future we will not only have reconnaissance and navigation satellites, but also a space station that belongs entirely to the Arabs; even establishing a base on the moon is not an unattainable dream!"

"The place has been inspected long ago, and the drawings have been designed. All that is left is the final assembly. But I am a person who always pays attention to being sure of things when I do things. It is not easy to say anything until I am not absolutely sure!"

It turns out that they are all part of Bao Zixuan's plan, so things will be much easier to handle.

The Saudi Crown Prince thought for a moment and said: "How much investment does Saudi Arabia need?"

It has been confirmed that the rocket base will be built on the border between Fujairah and Saudi Arabia; it is not easy to object to this, otherwise Bao Shaofou will never agree. Next, we need to consider the issue of funds. Saudi Arabia does have money, but we also have to see if it is within the affordability range!

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "Saudi Arabia needs 10,000 square kilometers of land for the construction of rocket launch sites and supporting facilities. The project will be carried out in three phases, with an estimated total investment of US$330 billion; each of us will contribute half , the same is true for shares.”

"As for the extra land provided by Saudi Arabia, it is offset by the technology provided by Heiyun. This is relatively simple; otherwise it is not clear at all!"

As a country with an area of ​​more than 2 million square kilometers, it is not a big problem to use 10,000 square kilometers to build a space city; it is a desert area, and it does not even involve the issue of personnel relocation.

330 billion U.S. dollars, half of which is owned by Saudi Arabia, which is rich and wealthy, and it is a bit painful to take it out.

But when thinking about the grand prospects in the future, this money must be spent; otherwise, it will always be controlled by others!

The Baikonur launch site in the Soviet Union is as large as the entire supporting facilities and has very complete facilities; it can be said to be a medium-sized city. But the Soviet Union has other supporting facilities, and Saudi Arabia can only rely on the internal base to solve the problem; the area is too small to accommodate so many buildings!

The two looked at each other, and the Saudi Crown Prince said there was no problem; the initiative was always in Bao Zixuan's hands. Saudi Arabia does not agree, so people can do it themselves; in addition, there are still many potential buyers in Iraq and Jordan!
