Chapter 114 117~118 They made money by the way (for subscription)

The Space Elevator project team was established, and once the news came out, it was earth-shattering.

Thanks to the long-term high popularity of Xinghe Future, the first time the news came out, it was like rolling waves, sweeping in all directions.

Yan Bei, the general manager of the Suzhou Satellite Launch Base, was naturally the first to receive the news. As soon as he saw the news, he naturally called Ni Pengcheng immediately.

When the phone was connected, Yan Bei laughed and cursed.

"Okay, old Ni, no wonder you, an old guy, showed off in front of me a few days ago, kept laughing, and kept silent."

"I regret it. At the beginning, I should have dropped my burden and went directly to Xinghe Future." Yan Bei said with emotion.

Ni Pengcheng laughed heartily after hearing this: "Mr. Yan, you have to be able to let go. Unlike me, changing places is like renting a package to move in. You can leave as soon as you say..."

"Well, I didn't call you to hear you show off." Yan Bei took a breath and said solemnly: "Old Ni, let's be serious, the space ladder, how confident are you in this project?"

After asking the words that scratched his heart, Yan Bei nervously waited for the reply from the other side of the phone.

"How confident are you?"

"Hehe, Boss Yan, you are overestimating me. Apart from being as shocked as you, I have nothing to grasp about such a project."

"Besides, although I learned what this is going to be two days in advance, and although I have seen the general plan, I don't understand most of it."

"If you want to ask whether you are sure, you are asking the wrong person. I guess the only person who is most sure now is Fang Chengfang's consultant."

Ni Pengcheng was full of emotions when he thought about it. He had spent his whole life in spaceflight, but he did not expect to become a beginner instead. The surprise and surprise were intertwined, not to mention how strange it was.

To my astonishment, I actually encountered an unknown field, and there are places I don't know how to know.

Surprisingly, if you encounter something that you don't know, it means that there is a possibility of improvement again.

Yan Bei could tell that Ni Pengcheng didn't fool him, and what he said was indeed a fact. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "Ask that kid, forget it."

"Aren't you going to build a space elevator on Future Island anyway?"

"There is a live broadcast there every day, so it's fine if you don't watch it then." Yan Bei said with a smile.

……

At the same time, many people were concerned about this matter.

Because Xinghe has many achievements in the future, even the last time Professor Mike, who was engaged in a closed ecology, vomited blood and was hospitalized from time to time, even the nickname of blood-spitting Mike was called out.

Therefore, the voices directly questioning the future of Galaxy are much less.

However, proper questioning is essential, beating around the bush to gain momentum.

It is said that the depth of boasting is high-level black, and this time these media have played more advanced.

"Shocking, in a few years at most, the future of the galaxy will bring mankind to open the era of great interstellar navigation..."

"Shocked, Xinghe will acquire alien technology in the future..."

"Shocked, the space ladder, dreams come true, space will belong to Xia Kingdom..."

There is a large circle of high-level gangsters, for fear that the news will not appear different, and the public opinion will not become lively.

……

The news quickly spread abroad.

US Space Exploration Corporation.

Corporate Strategy Department.

Today is the official conference hall, and the PPT that is being displayed in the conference hall at this time is the official blueprint of Galaxy's future space ladder.

Compared with the relaxed and ignorant attitude a while ago, today is finally a little more formal.

"Let's talk about your opinions." Best Newman, the head of the strategy department, asked with a smile while holding the conference table with both hands, with a very casual expression. Although the meeting was held according to the procedure, to be honest, he didn't care at all.

Originally, I thought it was exaggerated enough that my boss wanted to engage in Mars immigration, but now I have to make an even more exaggerated one. To build a space ladder, regardless of the distance between one and the other, why the space ladder is more like a joke.

Although he is not a scientist, he is very clear about what the current technology can do. Comparing the two, the technology content of the space ladder is higher, and it is not even a little bit higher.

In his opinion, this is just a commercial marketing strategy. They have done too much of this kind of thing.

"Haha, Mr. Best, this company, I think it's crazy to want to be famous. It's been more than half a year since the news has passed, and it has been trying to become famous..."

"Except for the graphene material, Xinghui battery and seawater filtration, everything else is just using some conceptual things to fool people."

"This is too old-fashioned, but painting a pie will always work. Let me see, maybe Galaxy Future will collapse at some point. These big projects have not been completed yet. Do you think so?" Jack shrugged and laughed.

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room.

"Jack is right. This is a business strategy. After constantly releasing big news to gain popularity and gain enough attention, whether it is the company's attention, talent acquisition, policy acquisition, or bank loans, it will be very good. The advantages……"

"Especially in that country, acquisition policy is the most important thing, Director Best, you understand." It was Smith who spoke.

Best's face was full of smiles, "In the long run, the future business planning of Galaxy is indeed doing well."

"But!" After saying no, Best's expression immediately became serious, and his face changed faster than flipping a book, "We don't need to care about other plans, but we have to care about this aerospace field alone! "

"Do you know that there are no experts and scholars outside who jumped out to refute immediately?" Best sneered.

"Humph!"

"They are all waiting!" Best's face was frosty.

Hearing this, Jack and Smith also understood, "Director, they are all waiting for our response!"

Best nodded.

"Yes, they are just waiting for our reaction."

"Because we are the top-notch private enterprises in the aerospace field!"

"The space ladder is quite beautiful."

"However, they should never, never should have come to the aerospace field to do this."

"This is trying to step on us!" Best sneered.

Jack and Smith also heard the murderous intent, and their expressions were not as relaxed as they were at first, and became extraordinarily dignified, "The supervisor is right."

"It's okay for them to make wind and rain in other fields, but this is the only space that they can't do."

"Who cares about our reusable rockets if they've got a space ladder hype?"

"It seems to be calm outside, but they are actually waiting for our reaction."

"Once our response does not meet expectations, then our reputation, and even the stock, will suffer a chain reaction immediately." Jack spoke quickly and sharply.

"That's right, guys!"

"So, we must adopt a strategy. We need to nail this announcement of Xinghe Future to the pillar of shame in the shortest possible time!"

"No matter how good Galaxy's future business plan is, the space ladder plan must be nailed to the pillar of shame, otherwise, the stock price will fall, the board of directors will be unhappy, and the board of directors will be unhappy, and we will lose our jobs!"

"Understood!"

"understand!"

"Okay, then hurry up, now, immediately! We must give Xinghe Future a head-on blow and let them understand that they should go back and get their materials!"

"Yes!"

The Strategy Department, which was in operation, was very efficient. It contacted various departments and relevant experts. Soon, a report completely aimed at the space elevator made its voice heard in the famous international media.

The first sentence of the report is very conspicuous.

"The space elevator is indeed a very great idea, but, I have to say, it will take at least 200 years for this idea to be realized with our human technology and engineering capabilities..."

Throughout the article, I didn't see a word that directly insulted the future of Xinghe, but between the lines, every word and every sentence directly denied everything about Xinghe's future space ladder.

Katou's first sentence directly negates Xinghe's future plans.

There is still a 200-year gap in human technology as a whole. If the future of Galaxy is to build a space ladder within two years, this is simply a gap between heaven and earth.

It's just a matter of directly stating that the chariots and horses say that Xinghe's future is just a daydream.

Those who make these professional statements are not the opinions of one family, but the Space Exploration Company launched its channel capabilities, found many scientists in physics, aerospace, materials, etc., and comprehensively quoted the conclusions, which greatly enriched the reliability of them. .

These authoritative scientists directly threw out the evidence.

At this time, those media who asked about the fishy smell rushed forward.

There is so much material and such good news. If we don’t report it, wouldn’t we lose our jobs?

"Shocking! Xinghe Future is actually a hundred times ahead of human technology!"

"Xinghe will play with the earth in the future!"

"The space ladder is so close to us, yet so far away!"

"This is a complete scam!"

……

One stone caused a thousand waves, and at the same time, thanks to the scientific media deployed earlier, this time, it was not just a voice. There are experts behind the space exploration company, and it is not unavailable in China.

People on both sides analyze their views every day.

All day long, you post a message, and I post a message, you come and go, it's so lively.

Seeing that this news war has no end, and its taste is gradually changing, it seems that Space Exploration Company is also willing to continue this debate. Because the heat continues, the stock continues to climb, which is of course a good thing.

A black cat is a white cat, if it catches mice it is a good cat.

……

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

And at this juncture, the space exploration company announced in a high-profile manner that they are about to launch a new type of Falcon 23 heavy-duty recoverable rocket.

This kind of rocket has a higher load capacity and can support 180 tons of materials to be sent into low-Earth orbit at a time. In addition, the cost has dropped significantly. Compared with the previous one thousand, seven hundred meters per pound, the cost is reduced. When it comes to 700 two hundred meters per pound, the cost is almost directly reduced by one-third.

This progress is not insignificant.

The cost is lower, the load capacity is greater, and the double significant improvement, if successful, will mean that Space Exploration Corporation, in terms of space launch vehicle technology, will once again open up the technology gap with many national teams in the aerospace field. That's a big chunk.

You must know that in the Xia Kingdom's private aerospace industry today, there are very few companies with a load capacity of ten tons. With this figure, you can know what the concept of 180 tons is.

If the test launch is successful, with lower cost and more payload, it is obvious that Sky Exploration Company will once again usher in a new take-off, and their rockets will have stronger competitiveness in the international space market. Get more business, and then iterate technology faster!

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The day of the launch is fast approaching.

The launch site was broadcast by many TV stations and online media, and due to the continuous debate over the technical routes of space ladders and heavy-lift rockets for so many days, the number of people watching this live broadcast was even more packed.

Before the ignition started, the barrage had already swiped the screen, and gradually nothing could be seen. There were languages ​​from all over the world, and together, they could learn all the characters on the planet.

Ordinary people are watching the fun, while the four major domestic satellite launch bases are watching the doorway.

A group of experts organized by Yanbei were also watching the live broadcast.

If you fall behind, you must learn, and you must have a correct attitude. This is no big deal.

"This is the gap. It is also a private enterprise, and they make money along the way, while most of our private enterprises have directly got into the money." Yan Bei said with emotion.

"Yes, but there is no way. In the high-tech field, the chance of success is actually lower than the probability of winning the welfare lottery Shuangseqiu. After all, Shuangseqiu still has a lucky person from time to time. In the high-tech field, rich and talented people spend a lot of money. Time may not necessarily yield results.”

"If there is an easy road to take, but there is no support from feelings or ideals, why should we walk on that cliff?" Wu Xiaozu, Yan Bei's deputy, sighed with emotion. "We are fortunate that our private enterprises have finally created a galaxy of future."

"Whether it is the space exploration company or the future of Galaxy, it is something that can be met but not sought after."

Yan Bei was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and the reasoning was very simple. Instead, he was really grateful, nodded and said: "Old Wu, you are right, such an enterprise is indeed something that can be met but not sought. Traveling in the mountains, you can still get out of your body, after so many years, how many Wu Songs are there?"

During the chatting time, the routine interview also started before the live broadcast.

The subject of the interview is naturally Elon Musk, chief technology officer of Space Exploration Company.

"Mr. Musk, tell us about your views on this launch?"

Musk showed an iconic smile: "This will be a successful launch, and it will also be a new milestone for human exploration of space."

"Why do you say that, because the cost is greatly reduced?" The reporter said in surprise.

Musk still smiled: "Cost reduction is just a phenomenon. What really matters is why we can reduce costs, because this time, we will try to recycle the upper stage rocket!"
