Chapter 931: There is no window period
The call was made by Liang Xiaoping, general manager of Tengfei Group's Space Exploration Company, from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, but it was a simple sentence that made Zhuang Jianye's good mood disappear without a trace.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhuang Jianye asked on the phone.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I suddenly received a notice from the representative of Motorola, asking our side to postpone the launch, I asked, and the other party hung up the phone rudely without giving me a reason. ”
Liang Xiaoping was a little aggrieved in his words, Tengfei Group was able to have today's achievements in the field of commercial aerospace, Liang Xiaoping can be said to have contributed a lot, you must know that this is the first batch of publicly-funded international students after the reform, and was sent to Princeton University in the United States to study aerospace engineering.
At the end of the 80s, he obtained a master's degree in this subject, and according to the plan of normal international students at that time, Liang Xiaoping should stay in the United States, after all, the United States is much higher than China in terms of both treatment and welfare, and more importantly, the United States has good scientific research conditions, easy to produce results, and naturally has strong attraction.
Liang Xiaoping is not a saint, he can earn 3,000 US dollars a month in the United States, who wants to go back and get a salary of 60 yuan?
What's more, the Lockheed Rocket Thrust Research Center at that time had already issued him an offer with an annual salary of $100,000, and Liang Xiaoping naturally joined Lockheed.
If this is someone else's family, it is estimated that they can't wait to go to the ancestral grave to burn high incense, with an annual salary of $10, a green card, and top benefits.
It's a pity that Liang Xiaoping didn't reincarnate well, and found a stubborn father named Liang Guodong.
Yes, it is Liang Guodong, the director of the office of the Yonghong Factory, who later served as the director of the Sixth Branch, this old man is not good at business, but his children's education is the first class of the entire Yonghong Factory.
The eldest son, Liang Xiaoping, studied abroad at public expense and received a master's degree in aerospace engineering from Princeton University.
The second daughter, Liang Xiaohong, graduated from Chinese University of Foreign Affairs in Beijing and has joined the diplomatic system as a Spanish translator.
The youngest daughter, Liang Xiaoqiu, was admitted to Fudan University and is now in her third year of college, with excellent grades, and it is rumored that she is very likely to be admitted to study at public expense.
In the eighties and nineties, it was already great to have a college student in the family, and the old Liang family had three college students, not to mention, also
All of them are among the best universities in China, and there is even one of the most top-notch publicly-funded international students.
In contrast, Zhuang Jianye's Lao Ning family is a little inadequate, the same son, two daughters, none of them have more serious education than high school.
So after retiring, Liang Guodong didn't miss this thing to squeeze Old Man Ning, every time he made Old Man Ning so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and then went back to gather his grandchildren, vowing to train a doctor, and show Liang Guodong's old horseman, Lao Ning's family is also a scholar!
However, no matter how you compare and run, Liang Guodong is very persistent in one thing, that is, you have to take back what you have learned to build your own country, otherwise the country will finally cultivate you, but you go outside to help others work, won't you become a white-eyed wolf?
So when he learned that Liang Xiaoping stayed abroad and was not ready to come back, Liang Guodong was furious, and he didn't care about the expensive cost of international length calls, so he hung up the phone to Liang Xiaoping if he had nothing to do, first persuaded, then yelled, and finally scolded, so the father and son were deadlocked for a year and a half, and finally the old man Liang used death as a threat to force Liang Xiaoping back.
To tell the truth, Liang Xiaoping was desperate at that time, not to say that there was no suitable position in China, on the contrary, when he learned that he was going to return to China, several key aerospace research institutes in China and more than a dozen large aerospace enterprises threw olive branches to him, and even a certain institution offered Liang Xiaoping a separate laboratory for him to lead.
However, Liang Xiaoping is still too lazy to take care of it, for no other reason, he just feels that these conditions in China are really not fulfilling, and he can see the ceiling with his eyelids rolled.
What is the goal of spaceflight? What is the sea of stars? What is the sea of stars? Naturally, it is boundless and boundless!
There is a ceiling, and it is still called the sea of stars?
Until he met Zhuang Jianye.
"Would you like to know about SpaceX?"
"What exactly?"
"The short-term goal is a commercial space launch, the medium-term goal is to build a space-to-earth round-trip freight system, and the long-term landing on the moon and Mars ......," Zhuang Jianye smiled slightly, telling Liang Xiaoping about the space exploration company HTC's interstellar conquest plan in detail.
If other people listen to this, they will definitely think that Zhuang Jianye is talking nonsense, and science fiction doesn't dare to write like this, but these things attract Liang Xiaoping.
I was even very surprised, I didn't expect that there were people in China who were backward in overall technology holding back such a huge space exploration program, and I didn't expect that this person was already silently paying and starting the phased implementation of the project.
Suffocate for your dreams!
Done!
Zhuang Jianye didn't expect Princeton University's master's degree to be so easy to fool, and he poured a meal of dream chicken soup and pulled it over, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to make his nose, and finally he had to say to Mr. Liang: "Your son is too axis, let's ask another master!"
Outcome...... was worried that there was no leader in the aerospace field, so Liang Xiaoping came in a flicker.
So what else to say?
Roll up your sleeves and do it!
As a result, the empty shell-like space exploration company immediately received a strong investment from Tengfei Group, and was on the right track in a short period of time, and then the technology introduction of the Long March 4 launch vehicle and supporting the production of Liang Xiaoping played a vital role.
Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Ascendas Group to have a full set of commercial space launch service capabilities for rocket production, satellite launch, and in-orbit delivery in just a few years.
After working hard for so long, I finally took the first step to conquer the sea of stars, but the rockets have been assembled, the satellite and the rocket have been integrated, and Motorola actually said that it would postpone the launch, and it didn't give a reason, who can feel better?
"Okay, I'll go to the launch center and see if I can contact Motorola's management. Zhuang Jianye saw that he couldn't say clearly on the phone, so he prepared to get up and go to the launch center.
Of course, Huang Feng and Fang Yong knew that they couldn't intervene at this time, so they took the "Proposal" and said goodbye to Zhuang Jianye, Zhuang Jianye was not polite, hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them and went out of the room, went downstairs and took a car all the way to the launch center.
When he got out of the car and saw Liang Xiaoping, he found that the aerospace expert, who was not a few years older than him, handed over a new notice that Motorola had just sent with an ugly face.
Zhuang Jianye took it and looked at it, and a pair of brows twisted into a pimple: "There is no launch window, and we are required to postpone the launch indefinitely!"
