Chapter 1398: Chapter 664: Spaceship is the Main Business_3

The meeting immediately began to discuss the technologies needed to construct the Lunar Base.

First and foremost was transportation, the development of a large transport spacecraft was essential.

Another necessity was the ’large space dome’ required for the base, which needed to have functions such as resisting cosmic radiation and high-intensity ultraviolet rays, and the material costs couldn’t be too high.

At the same time, many other technologies were needed, but these were less critical in comparison, and the company could purchase them from other companies or institutions such as the Aerospace Bureau or laboratories.

It was also suggested at the meeting that the Lunar Base should be constructed in collaboration with the Aerospace Bureau.

Of course.

Zhao Yi had already determined the plan, and he shared his thoughts directly with the senior leaders. The Lunar Base was not to be a solo project by Yixing Company but a joint venture between the company and the Aerospace Bureau, with a portion of the investment coming from the state.

What the company needed was profit, the ’potential profit growth points’ found after the Lunar Base’s construction, meaning that the majority of profits generated from the base after its completion would belong to Yixing Company.

When the topic of profits came up, the focus returned to the business operations of Yixing Technology. No normal company could keep investing without any profit growth points.

Yixing Unlimited Power Company sold automobiles, its initial technology was directly related to Yixing Technology, but Yixing Technology’s subsequent space exploration plans had nothing to do with Unlimited Power Automobiles, the only connection being solar energy transmission technology, which might be spun off in the future. freēwebnovel.com

This left Yixing Technology without a profit point. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

The executives were preparing to open space routes, which was indeed a profit-making aspect, but even after opening space routes, it would still be difficult to generate much profit. A few hundred million, or over a billion in profits, for the investment in Yixing Technology, was like a drop in the bucket.

The meeting soon moved onto this discussion.

Quickly.

The attendees identified several research points that could help Yixing Technology achieve profits.

One was the construction of ’repair ships.’

Yixing Company was now capable of constructing anti-gravity spacecraft that could directly ascend into space for repairing facilities including space stations and satellites.

This was an excellent point of profit.

The Aerospace Bureau also had the technical capability to manufacture corresponding spacecraft, but they wouldn’t invest in research and development in this area as they had more pressing tasks to attend to. Apart from Yixing Technology, no other international space enterprise or institution had the capability to do this.

Another was the construction of manned sightseeing ships that could serve as a constant profit point for Yixing Technology.

The third was a definite profit point, as Yixing Technology was about to participate in a space shuttle project, obtaining an order for small spacecraft worth at least eighty billion RMB.

This order had been planned in advance. At the establishment of Yixing Company, the deal was already in discussion, much like an arms dealer selling airplanes and tanks, Yixing Technology’s main business, the development of space spacecraft, naturally involved selling the spacecraft to others.

Not just participating in the space shuttle project, but in the future, it would certainly also sell functional spacecraft internationally, such as sightseeing ships, cargo ships, and even repair ships.

As long as it didn’t involve core Z-wave technology and was merely related to anti-gravity technology, these spacecraft were all available for sale, because foreign institutions also possessed anti-gravity technology. It was just that the level of their technology was far behind that of the domestic industry.
