Chapter 670 Russian Cake

The supply of supplies to the International Space Station is not only an international obligation of several aerospace powers, but also a good opportunity for countries to develop their own aerospace technology. From the profits of these tens of billions of rubles, the country's aerospace companies have the money to develop new aero engines and improve existing launch technologies.

Contracting to Star Ring Trading can certainly reduce the financial budget in this area, but it is undoubtedly bad news for the country's aerospace companies. After all, there are only so many launch plans every year. Except for X-space in the United States, which can make money from commercial launches, most aerospace companies rely on national projects to support them.

What Natasha said was also what the Russian leader meant.

If Halo Trade intends to sell rockets, Russia is of course willing to buy them, but if Halo Trade only intends to contract the launch project, there is no need to talk about it.

"Aren't you going to listen to my price?" Jiang Chen said helplessly.

Natasha shook her head.

"The Kremlin will not nod, even if your offer is attractive."

It's a little tricky.

However, Natasha's words are not unreasonable. If you consider this issue only from the perspective of saving costs, why doesn't the old man outsource the project to X-space in the United States? The Falcon rocket with the first-stage rocket recovery technology can reduce the launch cost to a terrifying figure.

Although this matter seemed out of the question, Jiang Chen was never the kind of person who would give up easily.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke.

"Really don't want to talk about the price? I mean the RM-320 rocket engine."

"I said it's okay... wait, what did you say?!" Natasha froze suddenly, looking at Jiang Chen in shock.

"Did I not make it clear enough? The price of the RM-320 rocket engine." Jiang Chen smiled.

Putting away the shock between her brows, Natasha looked at Jiang Chen calmly, and spoke quickly.

"what do you want?"

According to the materials submitted by Xinghuan Trading and the observations of Russian experts. The performance of the RM-320 rocket engine is more than one level higher than the RD-180 that Russia is proud of. Even X-space's Merlin 1D engine. Can't match it either.

Combustion chamber that can withstand 500 atmospheres. And the value-to-value ratio of 1:300, the production cost is only half of the Russian RD-180!

Roscosmos has more than once proposed to the Kremlin,

I hope that by virtue of the friendly relationship between Russia and Singapore, I can order a batch of RM-320 rocket engines back. Although it may not be imitated, at least part of the design can be used for reference.

Natasha never thought that Jiang Chen would actually agree to sell the engine. So she didn't mention it at all.

Happiness came so suddenly!

Jiang Chen glanced at Natasha, and said in a playful tone, "Guess?"

Facing the undisguised gaze, two red clouds floated on Natasha's cheeks. But soon noticed the playfulness in that line of sight. He gave Jiang Chen a hard look.

"I can't guess."

Jiang Chen stretched out five fingers.

"Five years. Within five years, Russia's international space station supply project will be contracted by Starlink Trading. Five years later, we will sell the samples and design drawings of the RM-320 rocket engine to Russia Aerospace at market prices."

With a five-year contract. It's such a bargain to trade an outdated piece of technology.

As for why it is "obsolete", it is naturally because, when the space elevator is built by Jiang Chen, all rocket launch technologies will become obsolete.

Because of the advent of the space elevator, the launch cost of tens of millions of dollars will be directly reduced to hundreds of dollars. This is also the reason why launch vehicle technology was completely suspended at the end of the 21st century.

"...I can't give you an answer, I have to ask my superior first." Natasha said with difficulty.

Jiang Chen made a gesture of invitation.

Natasha nodded, walked aside, took out her mobile phone, and dialed the call to the KGB headquarters in Moscow.

After making this phone call for a long time, she suddenly turned cold and walked to Jiang Chen's side holding the phone.

"Our superiors wish to consult with you personally."

After finishing speaking, she handed the phone to Jiang Chen and took two steps back.

Putting the phone to his ear, Jiang Chen hadn't spoken yet when English with a heavy Russian accent came from over there.

"Up to three years."

The voice was somewhat familiar, but Jiang Chen couldn't remember where he heard it before.

"Three years is too short."

"We have to consider technology replacement here."

"You can rest assured that, let alone five years, even eight years later, the RM-320 engine will still maintain its leading position." Jiang Chen replied in an affirmative tone.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.

"Three years, three years later you will sell us the RM-320 engine technology. We will outsource the resupply mission of the International Space Station to you for eight years at a price of 400 rubles."

"Deal!" Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

Although the expression on his face didn't change, Jiang Chen was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. 40 billion rubles is roughly equivalent to more than 600 million U.S. dollars. He can get the space elevator out in a maximum of two years, and the cost of delivering supplies to the space station can even be reduced to less than one million!

It's not about dollars, it's about rubles...

"It seems that we have reached an agreement." After receiving Jiang Chen's affirmative reply, the voice on the other side was obviously much more relaxed, and he didn't realize that he had been cheated.

"I always feel that your voice is familiar. Before hanging up the phone, can I ask who you are?" Jiang Chen said happily without blushing.

"Didn't our Miss Inspector tell you?"

"She only told me that you are their superior." After saying this, Jiang Chen suddenly froze.

Wait, Natasha used "we" instead of "my" superiors.

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and he spoke in a relaxed tone.

"You can call me Putin. If you have the chance, welcome to Moscow..."

Holding the phone in his hand, Jiang Chen froze for a moment.

Wait, it was the President of Russia who was talking to me about business just now? !

And I cheated him? !

...

The 12th Quantum Satellite was successfully launched, and Starlink Trading announced that it will provide paid wifi services covering Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Morocco, Malay and other countries. According to the cooperation project with local telecom operators, as long as the users who handle this service can get 12 hours of wifi experience time. After the experience time is exhausted, users can apply for service packages with different network speeds according to different regions.

At present, Transwarp Trading is discussing cooperation with telecom operators in the United States, Canada, Britain, France and other countries, and is considering extending global wifi to North America and Western Europe.

On the other hand, the war between the Future Group and the Boston Consortium continues. However, both sides did not make any new moves, they just stalemate in the areas where they have already made moves. The U.S. Department of Justice is still collecting evidence for the antitrust investigation, and the Boston consortium is still busy saving the fire of the bank.

What is more troublesome is that Websense, which is responsible for providing security services for Bank of Boston, has fully upgraded its server firewall, and has carried out targeted upgrades to defend against hacker attacks.

According to Xie Lei, the upgraded security system of the Bank of Boston is like an iron bucket, and the original loopholes have basically been filled. Unless an internal computer can be obtained as a backdoor, it is no longer so easy to remotely hack even if there is a quantum computer as a broiler.

After all, they have raised so many technicians, and they don't live for nothing.

On the other hand, Jane collected news about the two companies on the Internet, and presented them in front of Jiang Chen after summarizing them.

"The Federal Reserve injected $100 billion into the First National Bank of Boston. The Pentagon convened a number of cyber security companies to hold an Internet Security Summit. Information security in the financial sector was the focus of the summit discussion."

"The Federal Reserve actually made a move. It seems that the Bank of Boston has stabilized for the time being." Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

Just when he was thinking about what to do next, Xia Shiyu's phone call came over suddenly.

"Hello? What's the matter?"

"Someone is looking for you and hopes to talk to you face to face."

"who?"

"Carson Lodge, shareholder of First National Bank of Boston." (To be continued.) To find this site, please search "" or enter the URL:
