Chapter 658： [Boss and small bosses in front of Star Arrow International]

In mid-March of this year, the Star Arrow heavy rocket was successfully launched for the first time and successfully recovered the core-level and booster second-hand rockets, making the spaceflight launch again on the headlines of the global news website after many years.

Star Arrow International has also received countless admirations and praises. The research and development process took only five years and is completely independent. It has achieved the carrying capacity beyond the Falcon 9 heavy rocket and has become the world's number one in active service.

The successful launch of "Star Arrow 1703" and the ability to refresh the screen around the world, not only let the Falcon 9 rocket and SapceX, which competed but failed to launch, lose face, but also embarrassed the NASA's pro-son SLS. The old aerospace companies in the United States, Europe, Japan, Russia and other countries are under great pressure. You must know that the "Arian 6" rocket being developed by the Europeans cost more than 5 billion US dollars. Star Arrow International's research and development efficiency really shocked them.

As commercial aerospace becomes more and more successful, the most embarrassing is NASA’s SLS. SLS is the product of the space shuttle era. The goal is a new generation of magnesium heavy-duty rocket system. NASA hopes that it will go beyond the legendary “Saturn 5” with another. A super money-burning Orion spacecraft has become a new generation of killers for the moon exploration, fire detection and deep space exploration of the magnesium country.

The SLS project was approved in 2011 and passed smoothly. Since then, it has been absorbing gold at a rate of about $2 billion per year.

The cost of a heavy rocket of Star Arrow International is about 110 million US dollars, and the second-hand can now be discounted by 40%. If the ultimate version of the "Star Arrow 17E" heavy rocket is successfully tested for the first time, the launch cost will be further reduced. The days of SLS It's even more difficult to handle, because its launch cost is conservatively estimated at about one billion yuan, can it be embarrassing?

The news of Xingjian International began to spread, and domestic media have reported in the close-up of the book, especially since the media has exaggerated titles.

Netizens who eat melons are also happy to compare SpaceX's rollover and Star Arrow International's history. This time Star Arrow International has finally made a headline news.

Domestic media have reported in the close-up of the big book, and the people who eat melons in the mainland are also proud of it. It used to be that SpaceX was always sour, but now it is finally sour.

Some people are happy and some are sad. The foreign media articles are quite sour and vinegar. This round of competition ended in the victory of Star Arrow International. For them, the lively mood also greatly reduced the experience.

Now the pressure has shifted to Elon Musk and SpaceX. After all, it was established early, with NASA technical support, and it is advertised as a leader in the industry. The result is this situation, which is both stressful and embarrassing.

After all, your SpaceX has been established for fifteen years, and Star Arrow International has only been in existence for five or six years since its establishment. The gap between the current technical level and SpaceX is getting smaller and smaller, and even leading by a small margin.

This shows that the progress of Star Arrow International is much higher than that of SpaceX. Wouldn't it be possible to fully lead all peers in five years at this speed?

The person behind Star Arrow International is Luo Sheng, a man who is good at continuously creating miracles, and he has face-to-face competition with such people. SpaceX launched an experimental overturn, and the jackpot was grabbed by Star Arrow International. It is conceivable how much pressure Elon Musk is now.

It is terrible that now it is not only competing with Luo Sheng in the field of private space exploration, but both sides are also rivals in the field of electric vehicles. Luo Sheng’s azure pure electric car company now has a market value of more than one trillion US dollars, which is the first in the automotive industry. , The second existence in the world.

On the other hand, the market value of Tesla is now in its seventh year of listing, and its market value is not as good as a fraction of the blue pure electric car company.

Inability to produce energy is the biggest pain for Tesla’s electric vehicles. If it were not for the loan of SpaceA’s $2.6 billion order contract from NASA and embezzled to Tesla, I am afraid that the pure electric car company has now gone bankrupt. Too.

...

The Star Arrow heavy rocket launch program ended successfully. Luo Sheng did not stay in Qiongzhou for too long. He returned to Sucheng the next day, and the focus of his work was temporarily placed on Star Arrow International.

"Although there were some minor episodes in the process of this launch plan, it turned out to be a great success and won the lottery for the company. Finally, there is an honor that can be won." In the internal meeting of Star Arrow International Headquarters, Luo Sheng smiled at several senior executives and Yang Jianan and other technology tycoons who attended the meeting.

Everyone was also very happy. They had been crushed by SpaceX before. Life was not a taste. Seeing the Falcon rocket rollover the day before yesterday, the star-flying sky successfully formed a sharp contrast yesterday. Of course, it is a pleasant thing.

At this time Luo Sheng added: "Occasionally lead, but the gap still needs to be faced up. Star Arrow International's honor and achievements are one-sided. At present, China's weak basic technology level in materials technology is an indisputable fact. Recyclable rockets Technology still needs the astronauts to continue to struggle. Star Arrow International is currently completely 100% domestically developed technology. I don’t want to face the same basic technology as the Côte d’Azur. The foreigner is stuck in the neck."

When everyone heard that Luo Sheng, the head of the team, was so calm, he didn't get too complacent, and let everyone temporarily put aside the joy of success and return to reality.

Luo Sheng once again said: "Slightly leading SpaceX does not mean anything. The total investment of Star Arrow International in the space exploration field is as high as 16.2 billion US dollars per year, second only to NASA's 19.3 billion US dollars, and the "Star Arrow" project alone Has a total R&D investment of more than US$6 billion, and benchmarking SpaceX? No, we want to benchmark NASA."

What this said makes people present feel shocked and as if they are as excited as chicken blood. If someone else says so, they may feel that they are delusional, but the person who said this is the richest man in the contemporary world, worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Yes, the management of these trillions of dollars of assets is in hand.

To benchmark NASA, at least in terms of budget, it is absolutely true, and I know that Luo Sheng is willing to give up his blood.

Luo Sheng continued: "Heavy rocket "Star Arrow 17E" is to enable us to gain a foothold in space exploration, and what really makes us proud is super heavy rocket "Star Arrow 20S"."

This so-called "Star Arrow 20S", the number "20" represents that it is expected to be finalized in 2020, and this rocket's low-Earth orbit carrying capacity will reach 160 tons, which is unprecedented data, not only surpassing "Saturn 5" The near-orbit capacity of 127 tons will also surpass the current NASA SLS, and the three versions of SLS (BlockI, IB, II) near-Earth orbit capacity ranges from 95 tons to 140 tons.

"At present, although NASA's SLS has not yet officially flew into service, but from the perspective of technological leadership and capabilities, $2 billion per year is also greater than Star Arrow's investment, basically all of them kill the world, only our Star Arrow 20S' can suppress it, so we are not proud of it."

Everyone nodded silently.

But then again, this is actually worth the pride. Behind NASA is today's world hegemony. Behind Star Arrow International is the richest man in the world. Apart from Star Arrow International, no private space company dares to challenge NASA. Subject.

But it is precisely because of this that the astronauts of Star Arrow International are surging.

As a matter of fact, Luo Sheng is no matter to the current competitor SpaceX, the origin of the blue, or the private space companies such as Sierra Nevada, orbital science, etc., all of which are only regarded as small BOSSs in the middle of the checkpoint. They should be. These little bosses are all younger brothers raised by NASA. NASA is the big boss.

The ultimate BOSS is the North American military industry system. It is the top ace companies. It is Boeing, Nogg, and Lockheed Martin.

The outside world has benchmarked Star Arrow International with private space companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Orbit Science. They have never thought of NASA or the North American military industrial system, because individuals feel that this is not reliable.

But Star Arrow International has such a bold idea, and the dream will always be there. What if it is realized?

Otherwise, can it be worthy of the annual budget of more than 16 billion US dollars?

However, Luo Sheng was not in a hurry, BOSS wanted to brush one by one, and the levels had to pass one by one.
