Chapter 116 121~122 Shame, it is definitely not us (ask for subscription, ask for monthly ticket)
The atmosphere in the office was sluggish, there was no good banquet, and the seemingly good press conference was actually just a harvest of the other party showing off and taking more advantages and encircling them in terms of technology.
This is also something that cannot be helped. The technology is backward, but it will be restricted everywhere.
The meeting ended in a sombre mood.
Office of the General Manager.
At this time, only Yan Bei and Wu Xiaozu were inside.
Yan Bei is making a phone call.
Wu Xiaozu waited anxiously at the side, drinking one cup after another of the tea on the table, seeing the waiting tone on the other end of Yanbei's phone, Wu Xiaozu frowned and took another sip.
"Have you got through yet?" Wu Xiaozu asked.
Yan Bei shook his head.
"Fang Cheng's can't get through, and Lao Ni's can't get through either. Can't everyone in our aerospace base get through?"
Yan Bei shook his head helplessly, "I can't get through, that's the truth."
"Wait, just now Xiao Zhao said that they are retreating to tackle technical difficulties. She has already found someone to convey it. There should be news later."
"It is estimated that at this time, Consultant Fang and the others are at a critical point, and the phone cannot be connected, which is normal."
"Space Exploration Corporation is pressing harder and harder, and it is normal for Xinghe to be under a lot of pressure in the future. To be honest, although I am firmly on the side of Advisor Fang, the Space Ladder Project feels a little too sci-fi. I feel that I lack confidence. .”
Hearing the words, Wu Xiaozu was anxious, a little helpless, and a little looking forward to it: "Technical research is a good thing, but at this moment, Galaxy must respond in time in the future."
"Otherwise, the following situation and public opinion will be very unfavorable to Xinghe's future."
"It's hard for us to have a decent private aerospace representative, so we can't be ignored." It can be seen that Wu Xiaozu is really worried about the future of Xinghe.
"I'm also in a hurry, but I can't get through the phone, there's no other way, just wait, since Xiao Zhao said to make arrangements, the two of us will just wait."
"Ok."
The two simply sat down and drank tea while waiting. However, the usual tea with a long flavor was particularly bitter and tasteless today.
……
In this way, time passed slowly.
Sure enough, with the success of the launch of the Space Exploration Corporation, the overwhelming publicity work followed. This is not just a successful launch, and the goal of the Space Exploration Corporation is not only to accept more international news. More orders, but to become the maker of the technical direction of the earth's human beings in the field of aerospace development.
Ten years ago, they had already tasted the huge benefits of this strategy of technology direction setters. Ten years later, they have become more aware of the gains that can be obtained by taking advantage of this advantage, which is far from being achieved by a large or even more orders. than the United States.
"The leader in the aerospace field - SpaceX!"
"A great step, the recovery of the upper stage rocket..."
"To pay tribute to the space exploration company, human beings are one step closer to the stars and the sea..."
"Compared to SpaceX, Galaxy Future's vaunted space ladder is a joke..."
The mainstream is mixed with the non-mainstream. This wave of media uttered aggressively, directly lifting the Space Exploration Company to an unprecedented height, and what was dwarfed by it was precisely Galaxy Future, which had chosen to confront these media for more than a month.
And in the face of this factual technological progress.
The media supporting Galaxy Future, and even the mouthpiece of Galaxy Future itself, are still fighting on the Internet even though they are anxious at this time, but it is difficult to come up with effective evidence and facts to refute the other party.
The general trend is with the opponent, and their counterattack seems very weak.
"I just said, how can Xinghe Future compare with our space exploration company? No matter what, our boss Benet is right. Wake up, the fools who support Xinghe Future, they all It’s drawing cakes for you, earning your popularity, and then defrauding banks for loans.”
"You encourage Xinghe Future in front of the keyboard, eat instant noodles every day, and don't take a shower for a few days. Do you know what the top management of Xinghe Future is doing?"
"They're perming their heads, they're in the bathroom, they're in hotel suites, hugging girls you can only lick your screen, doing things you dream of doing but can't do."
"Wake up, on this earth, only our space exploration company is the future of the earth's aerospace field. The others are all liars and scum..."
"Of course, there are always some stubborn people who can't change their ways of eating shit, and we don't care. Facts will prove that what you are risking your lives to guard is just a pile of shit..."
Compared with the voices of the big media, the speeches of the water army behind these media are much sharper and ironic.
Foul language, abuse, provocation, wave after wave.
Grass on the head: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I smashed two keyboards!"
"I'm also very angry. These grandchildren are so angry, but I just blew up a balloon. See how excited they are? What the hell..."
"That's right, I firmly believe that Galaxy will be the strongest in the future..."
"That is, even if Xinghe's future space ladder takes ten or twenty years, as long as Xinghe is doing it seriously, I will always support it!"
"That's right, I don't support it, who supports it!"
"Deadly fan!"
There is a sentence-by-sentence exchange in the fan group. You can see the anger between the lines, and at the same time feel the sour taste of envy and the powerlessness of rebuttal.
And at the other end.
SpaceX, has already begun hosting successful launch dinners.
Except for the duty personnel who stayed on duty, everyone else was in the sea of carnival.
In the outdoor swimming pool party on the top floor of the hotel.
Bennett and Musk are lying on the soft starting point sofa, each holding a young girl in their arms, and there are delicate and beautiful waiters beside them feeding fruit to them.
"Come on, cheers, Bennett."
"Okay, boss."
Hey~
The two took a sip each.
Looking at the carnival party in the swimming pool and the lights of thousands of houses in the distant city, Musk said smugly, "Benet, do you think people from the space base in Xiaguo will come to our technology sharing meeting?"
"After all, they were humiliated so badly by us last time."
Hearing this, Bennett hugged the beautiful woman beside him, and said haha, "Boss."
"Whether they come or not is not up to them." Bennett's eyes showed a cunning look.
"Oh? Tell me?" Musk sat up a little, paying more attention to this issue.
Seeing this, Bennett also sat up, and opened his mouth and said: "If our technological breakthrough is similar to the last time, only to reduce the cost, then the technical representatives of Xia Guo's aerospace field are not willing to suffer a second time. , that is possible."
"However, we are different this time. What we have is not only the progress of cost reduction!"
"Recycling the upper-stage rocket and reducing orbital junk is more important." Bennett smiled cunningly, "If they come, there is no doubt that our launch will have a greater impact this time, and it will be more conducive to our recycling of the upper-stage rocket. Pushing forward to the technical standard, let the earth's current space technology advance along the track we have arranged!"
"As long as we continue to improve, then we will always stay ahead."
"And it would be even better if they don't come, and that's what we want to see the most. If that's the case, we will have more reasons and excuses to suppress their technological advancement."
"Now in space, it's time to clean up the trash, isn't it?"
"As long as we promote the international standard for space launch of upper-stage rockets, then it is conceivable how much advantage we will gain, and this is what the higher-ups want to see."
Bennett chuckled.
Seeing this smile, Musk nodded with a sinister smile: "Hehehe, with Mr. Bennett here, I don't need to worry about these non-technical things at all."
"Nowadays in aerospace science and technology, our only potential opponents are the four major aerospace bases of Xia Kingdom."
"No, boss, you forgot, there is also a galaxy future that the four major aerospace bases spent a lot of money to support recently." Benet added, his words were full of jokes, obviously joking.
"Haha, the future of Galaxy? The one who said he was going to build a space ladder? It's a joke." Musk laughed loudly, with a contemptuous laugh, not as humble as when facing the camera.
"Isn't that just a joke?"
"I think the four major aerospace bases probably used it to sway their shots to confuse our vision." Bennett took a small sip and said confidently.
"That's right, the space ladder, it's too far away."
"It is unlikely that such a project will be built in 50 years or 100 years."
"I want to build it now, hehe, who are you fooling?"
"Don't worry about him, but what should be attacked is still to be attacked, especially in terms of heat, we must have an advantage. After all, once the space elevator is really built, it will definitely be the greatest miracle in the history of human architecture."
"It will also really kick off the prelude to mankind's large-scale march into space. The cost of spaceflight will be directly reduced to the floor. The shipping cost of launching a pound of materials is only about [-]% of the current level, which is almost [-] times lower. , What a terrible number, and netizens, stockholders and economists don't care what is feasible or not."
"They only care about which one is more popular, which one may be more profitable." Musk warned, "So we must do a good job in public opinion and publicity."
"Yes, sir, that's what we've always done."
"That's good, you do things, we can rest assured that as long as we control the public opinion and publicity, as long as the technological rhythm of their competition is fully brought into our rhythm, we can always stay ahead. We will continue to make money , make a fortune!"
"Come on, cheers."
"cheers!"
The two were proud of their spring breeze, and the beautiful woman beside them smiled coquettishly from time to time.
There is nothing better than this in life.
……
And on the other side of the world...
Just when Yan Bei and Wu Xiaozu couldn't sit still waiting, the phone finally rang.
As soon as the phone was connected, Yan Bei heard Fang Cheng's voice, and immediately felt the long-lost peace of mind.
"Consultant Fang, you're supposed to answer the phone." Yan Bei said frankly.
Fang Cheng was amused when he heard the words: "Boss Yan, no, I heard that you have something to do, and I came out just after this experiment was over."
When I said this, I didn't have any temper at all.
You know, Yanbei and Wu Xiaozu have been sitting in the office waiting since daytime, and now it's dark after eating their boxed lunches.
However, as a researcher, the most important thing is the experiment, and everything is based on the experiment.
Yan Bei laughed twice to cover up his inner embarrassment, and then talked about business. Wu Xiaozu, who was on the side, could no longer sit where he was and came directly to listen to the exchange between the two.
Seeing this, Yan Bei had no choice but to turn on the speakerphone.
"Consultant Fang, you know about the successful launch of Space Exploration Corporation today." Yan Bei got straight to the point.
Fang Cheng nodded when he heard the words: "Got it, Xiaoqi told me just now that today the Space Exploration Company has successfully completed the recovery of the superior rocket body. It seems that Boss Yan is looking for me for this purpose?" Fang Cheng said it very easily , as if talking about a very ordinary thing, without any surprise or emotion.
"That's right, that's it." Yan Bei didn't react for a moment, and he followed suit, and then he responded, "No, Consultant Fang, why don't you sound surprised at all?"
"Mr. Yan, should this be surprising?" Fang Cheng asked.
Yan Bei was asked rhetorically, not knowing how to answer the topic, "No, Consultant Fang, shouldn't you be surprised by this?"
"Because of the recovery technology of the upper stage rocket, the cost of the rocket launch of the Space Exploration Corporation has been reduced to 1000 yuan per pound. More importantly, they plan to use the recovery technology of this part of the orbital rocket to continue their technology. standard setting."
"For example, through an international agreement, non-non-upper-stage rocket recovery technology multi-stage rockets are no longer allowed to be launched?"
"This is almost inevitable, and this will make us very passive." Yan Bei no longer entangled with Fang Cheng that they were not on the same channel, but directly expressed his meaning.
"And now, they once again invited us to participate in the technology sharing conference."
"It's not a good intention." Yan Bei said with a sigh.
"Oh? So there is something like this?" Fang Cheng thought for a while and felt that it was very logical. Such a thing is very possible, especially since this space exploration company is very skilled in doing such things.
"However, since they invited us, then we can send representatives there." Fang Chengman said indifferently.
"Just go? Consultant Fang? I'm afraid they will make big moves in this meeting. We have to be cautious and cautious. What Lao Yan just said is likely to happen." Wu Xiaozu couldn't bear it anymore at this time and hurriedly said to He added while talking on the phone, fearing that Fang Cheng would be careless.
Hearing this, Fang Cheng knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and instead of being angry, he laughed: "It's Boss Wu, haha, don't be angry."
"However, I, Fang Cheng, have always told the truth. Isn't it just a press conference of advanced rocket recovery technology? The era of rockets as the main force of aerospace is coming to an end. What is an advanced rocket recovery technology?"
Fang Cheng sneered.
"Rocket technology is going to be eliminated?" Yan Bei and Wu Xiaozu captured the key information.
Fang Cheng didn't give a direct answer, but chuckled: "Specifically, I won't talk much on the phone. When will they hold the technical conference?"
"I'm not sure about this. According to past experience, next week will be the soonest, and it will not exceed half a month at the latest." Yan Bei replied.
"That's just right, and the time is about the same. The day they choose to hold the technical conference, we will choose the day to carry out our first launch mission."
"The two of you should feel free to send people there. When the time comes, the custody will give you a big surprise. I guarantee that it will definitely not be us who are ashamed."
