Chapter 40 Another Failed Launch
What?
Ahem, this is not a derogatory term in the United States.
It would be a shame to lie down in the midst of great wealth and die. Just in time to pay off the loan, just in time to call God, this is the most ideal situation.
There used to be a joke about the old lady of the rabbit country and the old lady of the rice country chatting in heaven.
The old lady of the rabbit country said: "I bought a house I liked, but unfortunately, I only lived for three months, and then I came to see God." ”
The old lady said: "I bought my house a long time ago, I have lived in it for 50 years, and just three months ago, I just paid off the bank loan. ”
When this joke was popular, the real estate wave in the rabbit country had just begun. Before that, a house was not an investment. Loans to buy a house are not nothing, relatively few, and the proportion of loans is also very limited.
So, ahem, I guess this paragraph was made up by a real estate agent. It should be said that at the beginning, they may have wanted to fool people, but later, those who were fooled should thank them.
I want to say that those who sell houses are probably in hell. Regardless of the Rabbit Country, these two old ladies are actually quite pitiful, and most of their wealth in their lives has been donated to real estate developers and banks.
So, they should stay in heaven.
"What does it mean to be lost?"
"Mr. White, simulate the satellite and the rocket are separating smoothly. However, after entering the predetermined orbit, the satellite lost contact. ”
"Dr. Jotton, can't you get it back?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. White, but this launch still failed. Do we need to adjust our pace?"
"No, move on to the next experiment. The problem of parallel control of the engines had to be solved. By the way, the discarded satellite, do you need the military to shoot it down?"
Dr. Joton is speechless, you've watched too many disaster movies, it's so easy there, finding a target is a big problem. This thing is similar to a cannon fighting mosquitoes, which is basically.
"Ahem, don't bother, in another 48 hours, the self-destruct device will be activated. ”
"Okay, let's release the news to the outside world, announcing the failure of the launch. By the way, the funds are already in place, you appease the researchers first, and I will come down in person in two days. ”
"Thank you, Mr. White, for your efforts. ”
"Okay, thank you, hard work. ”
The launch vehicle is not a two-kicker, and the failure of the god horse is simply the norm. The space shuttle of US imperialism, how much it cost, not the same problem.
Tesla's rocket failed again, and the melon-eating masses were just a matter of pleasure. In their opinion, it's just a game for the rich guys.
Of course, this time NASA doesn't see it that way. The first time was to set off fireworks, and this time it went into orbit, and the people who eat melons don't understand the difficulty, what they don't understand.
Over the years, they have been annoyed by Lockheed Martin. You're so expensive to launch, and I'm also developing a yarn. This if one more competitor comes out. Not necessarily a bad thing.
However, this guy can burn money. I thought it was just a fool, or a blind nonsense, but Mu You thought that it was really a little interesting.
"I'm going to make a yarn, Steve, you're here to laugh at me, aren't you?
Hahaha, to tell you a secret, I'm going to fail eighteen times in a row. ”
"Ahem, cough cough, are you serious? This is a lot of money and no place to use it, right?" Jobs was very depressed, he did come to harass someone, but he didn't expect that the guy on the other end of the phone seemed to be very unimpressed.
"How can it be so easy to succeed? This is a rocket that can be recovered, man!
I'm trying to change the world, what's the big deal with spending some money? Recently, I've been making all the money and I'm going to vomit. To tell you the truth, I don't know how much money I have right now. ”
Qiao Dashen, who suffered repeated blows, finally chose to retreat. Talking on the phone with William White, a bastard, is simply a long life.
It's impossible to say that you're not depressed. Although I know that there is a high chance of failure, and the later you go, the higher the chance of failure.
However, as he himself said, what about failure, buddy has money.
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were like chickens fighting each other, and if you make a big killer today, I will make a big killer tomorrow and I will make a ten times more powerful one. You spacewalk today, I dare to go to the moon tomorrow.
It's the best of times for technology. While humans are researching how to kill themselves faster, they will also invent some auxiliary products.
Today's mobile phones and the Internet are products of this context.
The Cold War is over, Maozi is finished, and he no longer has the ability to fight with US imperialism.
So, shouldn't your research funding be lowered?
In just a few years, not to mention the abolition of funds, many projects have also suffered premature deaths. NASA found a problem, without Maozi as a competitor, my rocket is getting more and more expensive for Maozi.
If it weren't for the impact, they would all want to go to the rabbit to cooperate. Motorola's Yixing plan, didn't it just find Maozi?
Look, people haven't thrown satellites into the ditch, not to mention the low launch cost, and the quality is guaranteed.
Of course, you can do this for normal commercial purposes. If it's a satellite for other purposes, can you hand it over to Maozi to launch?
Hehe, this is unrealistic, even if it is the Yixing plan, the hair will be a little bit of a side. This mutual distrust cannot be reversed in a day or two.
Maozi is actually very aggrieved, and the economic reforms I have here are all prescriptions from you. I've been taking this for five years, so it's useless? Are you giving a placebo?
From an economic point of view, Mao Zi is actually right. This kind of belly slander is still very reasonable, the so-called shock therapy, isn't it placebo therapy?
In short, you don't have to do anything, waiting for yourself to become a corpse.
It is unrealistic to rely on Maozi to launch, so there is another company here in the United States, which is very good.
Tesla rockets, from the beginning, went for cheap. Otherwise, is it necessary to recycle the rocket engine?
William White knew very well that he was no match for the materials and fuels of the engine. Lockheed Martin, with one hand you can hang him.
The advantage of Tesla's rocket is the rational configuration of the engine. Take advantage of the latest computers and programs to get started with control.
No matter how good your rockets and planes are13, the computer system is also a backward product. Everyone's use is different, military use emphasizes reliability, commercial use does not.
"I'm going to go, aren't I? The gold is sold, and I'm going to continue working on the Tesla rocket. Andy, are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Boss, it's hard to say whether there is a direct connection, but judging from the direction of the funds, it is true. ”
The old guy didn't believe a word of his report. What are you kidding, the money earned by Titanic is enough for him to burn for a while, is it necessary to sell gold?
Could it be that this is a concern that the price of gold will continue to fall?
It must be like this, and today, if you underestimate this guy again, they really don't mess around.
The failure of Tesla's rocket has also attracted the attention of other countries. The European friends looked disdainful, are you doing that a rocket? That's a toy.
As for Maozi, he is a little gnashing of teeth. Bastard, why don't you lend me so much money?
Love fireworks?
Yes, I have a lot of inventory at home, as long as you have the ability to ship it back, I am free to sell it here and give money.
