Chapter 954: Preliminary Preparation
Long Jianhua believes that he is not a good negotiator and only knows some basic theories of negotiations. As a chairman, he does not need to become an outstanding negotiator. He just needs to explain his own views clearly; and he also does not leave any tails and does not set up an unbreakable framework for future negotiations as much as possible.
In the end, seventeen countries and regions sent delegations to negotiate for the site selection of this aircraft production base. After research and decision by the committee, three were finally selected for a more detailed discussion.
The site selection of the aircraft manufacturing project continues, and the Institute of Aerospace was quietly established. The former Institute of Aerospace was divided into the Institute of Flight Vehicles and the Institute of Rockets. The Institute of Flight Vehicles is Desey, and the Institute of Rockets is an Soviet scientist Antenov, a 53-year-old man who has been to the Institute for five years but has been engaged in rocket design for twenty-six years.
When talking about this project some time ago, Desy wanted to study the Rockets. She heard that she wanted to choose Adinov as the director of the Rockets Research Institute. She also specially talked to him for two hours, and finally thought that he was more suitable.
At the directors' meeting after the establishment of the two institutes, everyone discussed the location selection of the rocket launch site.
Adinov is the director of the Rocket Research Institute. He first spoke, "Based on fuel and reliability, the closer it is to the equator, the better. And Xiang Island, not to mention the small area, but also densely populated areas, does not meet such conditions."
He stood up and walked towards the map, picked up a guide and pointed to the map, "We can rent rocket launch sites from the United States, Ukraine and China. From these places, whether it is transportation or experience, the most suitable one is in the United States."
Several people looked at him, but no one spoke.
Then, he said, "But this is not a long-term solution. Since we are going to space, it means that the future will be a regular mission. It is okay to rent for a period of time. If we want to last longer, we still need to have our own fixed launch base."
He took the instruction stick and stroked horizontally, "This area is all land. We just need to choose a relatively sparsely populated place and buy it."
This old man said, it seemed as simple as buying a place like drinking water and eating, and he could buy it by buying it.
Zhao Hanyuan smiled and said, "It is very difficult to buy a piece of land in other people's country. At most, it can only be rented for a few years. Mr. Long once bought a small island, now called Chongshi Island, not far from the equator."
He stepped forward and pointed on the map.
Long Jianhua nodded, proving that he did not tell any lies.
Antenov's eyes shone brightly, he looked at Long Jianhua and asked, "Really, how big is it?"
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "It is about three thousand meters long and one-fifth of thousands of meters wide, with a total area of 4.68 square kilometers."
Adinov's face immediately turned into disappointment, "too small."
Long Jianhua felt bitter inside. The initial motivation for him to buy that island was actually for satellite launch, and the second was the place where security personnel trained.
When he bought the island, he had never known how large a launch base would take, and he thought that 4.68 square kilometers would be not small; so after Liu Haoyu and others wanted to find a training base, he agreed without saying a word. It seems that it can only be used for their training in the future.
Adinov is still finishing the job, "When you go there, the population is sparse, but the transportation is too inconvenient. The transportation cost is too high, and you have to worry about the erosion of sea water. There are too many uncontrollable factors, which is completely undesirable."
Long Jianhua continued to be bitter and decided in his heart that he must find a purpose, not just a training base.
Atenov was still typing with the instruction stick, "Actually, it is okay for us to rent land for a long time in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, and Papua New Guinea. Xiangdao is not far from these places, it is convenient to transport and process it locally."
Long Jianhua shook his head, "We don't consider these places for now. Processing and launching them in these places, if it is closer to the equator, there are many risks."
He stepped forward and pointed at Hainan Island, "It should be suitable here too."
Rocket research and launch involve a wider range of involvement, and the more likely it is to cause covetousness. In this case, he is more willing to believe in the same roots and roots.
Adinov nodded, "It's OK here too."
Long Jianhua smiled and said, "We will negotiate with the mainland. This has been decided. What else will be next?"
Desie immediately said, "The weather is also needed to be accurately predicted. Thunder, cloud height, and wind speed will all have an impact on rocket launch."
Zhao Hanyuan smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. We can rent meteorological satellites, launch satellites, and then use our billions of computers to analyze and predict."
Looking at Long Jianhua, "In this way, we need to get a state-of-the-art mainframe computer for this."
Long Jianhua asked him, "Hasn't our own phone been upgrading all the time? It can't meet the requirements?"
Zhao Hanyuan nodded and shook his head, "This one can meet the requirements, but the frequency of use is too high, so he can only barely deal with the current work. If the rocket launches too much, it will not be enough."
He nodded, "Then make one. When you don't launch a rocket, find some other uses."
Zhao Hanyuan laughed and said, "That's certain."
These people were very excited to explore the extraterrestrial sky on Earth. Although they were not dancing, they could still clearly feel the joy in their hearts and their thoughts became much more active.
Long Jianhua and the others said, "The problems we are facing now are actually what you just mentioned are from a long time later. The most critical problem at present is the human problem. Design and production require high-end talents. Ms. Desie, Mr. Adinov, you are senior experts in this industry. Please pay more attention to this aspect."
Desie waved her hand, "No problem. I can find no less than 20 people."
Adinov also laughed and said, "I promise this number too. They are all experienced."
That's fine.
Long Jianhua doesn’t want them all to be veterans, nor do he want them to come from the same place. New and old ideas collide, and different ideas collide, so that more and more updated ideas can be obtained, which is more conducive to discovering and solving problems.
If old comrades need it, it is the gatekeeper and the key to stabilizing the morale of the army; if young people also need it, it is vitality, the main force in the future, and the inheritor of culture.
He continued, "Since that's the case, our research base is first set up here. After finding a suitable launch site, we will find a place to build a production base and research institute nearby."
Zhao Hanyuan smiled and said, "Or why I'll go to the mainland first and communicate with them to see if I can choose a piece of land in Hainan and build a launch site with them."
Long Jianhua shook his head, "They build it, we rent it."
