Chapter 653: [It’s fried, it’s fried]

March.

"Xiao Du, didn't you pull down the information?" Academician Yang Jian'an repeatedly told his assistant.

Du Yangping took a lot of material files and reports and put them in the bag. He carried the bag and followed Yang Jianan to ensure: "It's all inside, but old Yang, now in 2017, upload the information directly to Wouldn’t it be better to give Luo to the cloud?"

"The paper manuscript is visible, and I am at ease in my heart." Yang Jian'an answered him as they walked out of the Star Arrow International Headquarters. A special car has been waiting for a long time.

Five minutes later, the two drove to the airport. Luo Sheng’s A380 private jet had been waiting at the airport for a long time. He was already on the plane and was about to fly to Qiongzhou.

The "Star Arrow 1703" has arrived at the Qiongzhou launch site.

The vehicle that Yang Jian'an took arrived at the airport, took the assistant out of the car and boarded the plane.

In a living room in the cabin, Yang Jianan apologized when he saw Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, I am sorry for the delay in things."

Luo Sheng smiled: "It's just three or five minutes before the take-off time, just right."

Yang Jianan immediately asked Du Yangping to give the materials to him, and then handed it directly to Luo Sheng, and said: "Mr. Luo, this time if the "Star Arrow 1703" is successfully recycled, it will be officially finalized. According to the established medium and long-term plan, It is expected that we will have about 10 models of launch vehicles around 2027 to form a new generation of Star Arrow series recyclable rockets of small, medium, large, heavy and super heavy duty."

Luo Sheng took the material report and did not read it, but put it aside and looked at Yang Jianan and said with a smile: "Old Yang, don't worry, take a break first."

Tang Xin, who temporarily replaced An Qingxue as Luo Sheng's personal assistant and secretary, came to a flight attendant at the moment and gave everyone a few cups of tea.

Yang Jian'an hurriedly said: "Why dare you rest? If 1703 can't go to heaven, my heart won't fall."

As the chief engineer of the Star Arrow series of rockets, Yang Jianan knows exactly how heavy the burden he is carrying. He has already smashed more than 40 to 50 billion yuan into it. The more money he hits, the greater his pressure.

In addition to the internal pressure, the greater is the external pressure, which is the competitive pressure of Blue Origin and SpaceX.

This time, Star Arrow International and SpaceX will win the title of "second-hand rocket" first recovery in March. Even Luo Sheng personally ran to the Qiongzhou launch site, which shows the importance of this launch experiment.

At present, private space exploration companies around the world are appearing one after another, but only three of the top echelons belonging to the first echelon are competing with each other, namely Star Arrow International, Blue Origin and SpaceX.

Blue Origin helped Jeff Bezos get the title of "Rocket Recovery First Man", SpaceX gave Elon Musk the title of successful rocket recovery on the offshore platform in 2015, and Luo Sheng's Star Arrow International So far there has not been any dazzling "first" title.

This space race undoubtedly lags behind competitors, and the capital invested is the one with the largest number of tripartite parties, which makes Yang Jianan feel pressured.

However, Star Arrow International started after all. SpaceX was established in 2002, and the development of the "Falcon" series of rockets began in 2006, with NASA technical support behind it.

Star Arrow International was founded in 2011, the latest one, and without the support of a strong agency like NASA, everything basically depends on itself.

Fortunately, Luo Sheng has a skill that neither Elon Musk nor Jeff Bezos can match—money ability.

The strong "money capability" does not lag behind too much. It has been chasing crazy in the past five years. Now that it has the ability to compete with SpaceX, it can also show that China's aerospace talent is not weaker than foreign countries.

The special plane has already taken off. Luo Sheng sitting at the window in the living room in the cabin smiled and said: "Old Yang, don't put too much pressure on you. The title competition for the first-time recovery of second-hand rockets is definitely a contest, but The first priority is still based on stability. The one-time lead does not mean the final lead. Even if 1703 succeeds, it does not mean that the Star Arrow series recovery technology is mature. The road is still long."

Yang Jian'an nodded his head and didn't say much, what the big gold master said so, what else could he say, all he had to do was move forward and send the rocket to the sky.

...

Just when Luo Sheng had just arrived in Qiongzhou, they got an unexpected news when they got off the plane.

"What did you say? SapceX announced the launch plan one week in advance?" Luo Sheng couldn't help hearing Tang Xin's report for a moment, the latter affirmed: "Elon Musk posted an update on his social account MicroBlog an hour ago , Confirm that it is a week in advance, some media have already reported."

After hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help saying: "Elon Musk is still playing MicroBlog without sleeping in the middle of the night. Who can show it to..."

The accompanying Yang Jianan estimated that: "SpaceX's original launch plan was on March 22, one week in advance is to be launched on March 14, and our star arrow was launched on March 16."

His assistant Du Yangping casually put up a sentence: "Elon Musk is obviously here for us, and it is premeditated."

Star Arrow’s second-hand rocket launch plan was announced one month earlier, and a live broadcast launch is also required, and SpaceX’s Falcon rocket also announced its launch plan at the beginning of the new year.

At this moment, Yang Jianan couldn't help but raise his heart. He couldn't help but glance at Luo Sheng, but he was very worried that Luo Sheng was stimulated by the news, and asked to let the rocket go to heaven before SapceX.

This is a big trouble.

If such a hurried change to the original launch plan is absolutely endless, it is very likely to bring the problem to heaven and face the risk of failure again.

Luo Sheng said calmly: "Don't be influenced by outside news. They play our own and we play our own. It just happens to take the opportunity to observe and learn and learn."

Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Yang Jian'an's heart that had just hung up was finally put down. He was afraid that Luo Sheng would be irritated by this news, and Elon Musk would be caught by his opponent.

In fact, Luo Sheng had noticed Yang Jianan's reaction just now, especially when he deliberately glanced at his small movement, obviously he was afraid that he would be affected by the news.

After all, Luo Sheng is now the CEO of Star Arrow International, and the company was founded by him. The research funding is given by him. He has the right to make arrangements for the company's plan, and he is determined to execute it. No one can stop him.

Fortunately, Yang Jian'an is more worried than that. Luo Sheng himself engaged in scientific research in his last life, which is very different from other leaders. Naturally, he understands that scientific research cannot be rushed.

Today is March 9th, one week before the launch of "Star Arrow 1703". Luo Sheng temporarily separated from Yang Jian'an after arriving in Qiongzhou, and Lao Yang took his assistant to launch the Chinese and Western launch.

Luo Sheng led Tang Xin, his new little secret, to Sanya for a few days' vacation to feel the tropical atmosphere.

...

Early on March 15.

Luo Sheng just had a dream, dreaming that the rocket was launched, and then it felt a bit boring, and then woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, he opened his eyes and saw Tang Xinzheng looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Luo Good morning~"

Luo Sheng said helplessly: "Can't I wake me up in another way?"

Tang Xin said playfully and playfully: "For example?"

Luo Sheng immediately turned up and stretched out, stretched out the floor curtains, and the outside view radiated into the room. After looking out for a moment, he looked back at Tang Xin and said, "This is beyond your job. The scope of work is not able to give you a promotion, salary increase or other economic benefits, and you may even lose your existing job."

Despite what seems to be a bit ruthless, Luo Sheng knows that some openings can be opened, but some openings must not be opened, otherwise the detonator will be buried and cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, it was Tang Xin who took the initiative to send him to the door during the past few days. Luo Sheng said that he was innocent and refused at the beginning, but he was also a normal person.

Tang Xin smiled and looked at Luo Sheng's face with an indifferent answer: "I can have such an encounter with the world's richest man and the first person in science and technology. I will be happy even if I lose my job."

Luo Sheng: "..."

I couldn't stop talking. It was a bit ruthless to think about beating her. She said so, and what she said would make her look too mean and mean.

Not at all.

The clever scheming girl is undoubtedly, the people around him are so clever even a little secret, it is really impossible to control this group of people without a little strength.

However, Luo Sheng was also relieved, which was right, and the side evidences that the company's management is not a group of pig brains, and it is really anxious if it is the other way around.

Luo Sheng represents the core of this huge commercial technology empire composed of Blue Star Technology and the Cote d'Azur, and the people who can reach the core must be something. Otherwise, they will not reach this level.

Tang Xin had already prepared a breakfast, Luo Sheng simply finished washing and dining, just sat at the table and looked at the clock on the wall, and immediately said: "Yo, this point should be'Falcon 9'" It’s launched... Where is the computer?"

It is said that Tang Xin immediately took a laptop computer to Luo Sheng, and soon opened the live page. SpaceX's launch experiment is also the entire process of global live broadcast.

Luo Sheng stared at the screen while enjoying breakfast, and the countdown showed that there was one minute before the launch time.

At the same time, the North American Cape Canaveral Air Force Base on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean is brightly lit, and the Falcon 9 rocket with a height of 70 meters is particularly eye-catching.

[10, 9, 8...3, 2, 1 ignition]

As the countdown ended, the launch site was as bright as day, and Luo Sheng, who was watching the live broadcast of the launch, also stared at the screen without a word, listening to the cheers of SpaceX employees from the live broadcast room.

Tomorrow is the day when the star arrow is launched, and I hope to declare success in cheers.

Tang Xin, who was sitting next to him for breakfast, glanced at the live broadcast and said, "I really hope it explodes directly in the air..."

Just when Tang Xin's words just fell, the Falcon 9 in the live picture was less than 800 meters high, and suddenly... exploded!

The original cheering live background sounds became "holysh*t", "OMG", "WTF", and then fell into a silence.

When Luo Sheng, who eats melons, is also stupid, UU reads the book and looks back after a moment. Wang Zhe Tang Xin: "Have you opened your mouth?"

Tang Xin stared at the screen with excitement: "It's blown up, it's really blown up..."

Luo Sheng whispered immediately: "How can you say that? This is not just SpaceX exploding a rocket firework worth more than 60 million US dollars, but also a major loss of human spaceflight, don't be so gloating."

Tang Xin reacted and couldn't help but spit out her small tongue, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw Luo Sheng screaming with an unabashed happy expression at the moment.

The so-called most happy thing in the world is to watch your opponents deflate. At this time, Luo Sheng's inner heart is already a lot, so don't be too sour.

Let you sneer, let's blow it up.

Luo Sheng once again focused his attention on the live broadcast. He wanted to see if the director would give a shot of Elon Musk, and wanted to see what his expression looked like at the moment.
