More than two months have passed, the new rocket has been assembled, and the relevant departments have applied for a launch in the near future, Xu Ping'an has already received a notice, but because of Dr. Luck's matter, he didn't take care of it.

Now, I have to come over, after settling in the internal guest house, Xu Ping'an asked Xingling while making tea if the rocket launch went smoothly this time.

"This time it's going well, you can let the rocket stay in space for a while and come back," the star spirit said directly.

Xu Ping'an was stunned, stay in space for a while and come back, what do you mean, does the rocket have this function, Xu Ping'an's mind was full of questions.

Xu Ping'an has seen the drawings, but he can't understand them, it's all Xingling who said that there is no problem, Xu Ping'an doesn't worry about it, how can the rocket stay in space for a while now and then return.

It's too sci-fi, it's a big thing that subverts the power of rockets.

"I have to say that you still have some skills in finding these personnel, and after combining a variety of technologies, the rocket can stay in space for a while and then return"

"Lu Zi'an and Zhao Changkong are not satisfied with just developing a new generation of rockets, but have their own ambitions, wanting to compete with the space shuttle project on Aidrius Island."

"If there is no space shuttle, let the rocket stay directly in space and have the function of a space shuttle" Xing Ling explained, and Xu Ping'an understood what was going on.

"You say, wouldn't it be more eye-catching to send a guinea pig up directly," Xu Ping'an asked.

"You decide for yourself, I won't participate" Star Spirit was silent after speaking.

Thinking while drinking tea, soon, the expression on Xu Ping'an's face became firm, he picked up the phone and called Lu Zi'an directly, and hung up the phone after a conversation.

Not this time, the rocket has already been fixed, and new additions will require the addition of equipment, so that many aspects will need to be modified, and the gains outweigh the losses.

It can only be saved for the next time.

After resting for two days, Xu Ping'an took the car to the control center, today is the time for the rocket to be launched, according to the plan, the rocket will stay in space for two days before returning.

If it can land safely, it proves that this rocket launch is successful, and at the same time, it represents the maturity of the second-generation rocket technology.

Although Xu Ping'an did not publicize it, there are many people who pay attention to this matter, and they all want to know whether this rocket launch can be successful, especially Xiusi and Leonardo.

The two were very nervous, the three of them formed an alliance, the rocket launch was a matter of the Apocalypse Group, and the two failures in a row made the two of them more or less worried in their hearts.

Although I know that failure will increase the foundation of the Apocalypse Group in rocket launches, it will be very discouraged to fail all the time.

With the loud sound of "boom, boom, boom", the rocket was successfully lifted into the air, and the control hall was constantly shouting.

"Report, the rocket has been put into orbit"

"Immediately activate the communication program to track the rocket, and notify the Apocalypse Island control center to also track the signal"

Launch Control Program

Control Speed Track

"Activation of the internal space test system"

.............

A series of shouts began to emerge, and time slowly passed, "Report, communication connection has been completed, and the rocket is hovering at its intended orbit".

"Ahhhh

Xu Ping'an also began to clap his hands, and Lu Zi'an shouted at this time, "It's not the time to celebrate, closely monitor the movement of the rocket."

Hearing Lu Zi'an's voice, the staff began to get busy in place, and Lu Zi'an came to Xu Ping'an's side, "President, the first step of the plan is completed, and the successful return of the rocket in two days will be considered a complete success."

"Lao Lu, I'm waiting for the news of your success, and then you can relax" Xu Ping'an said with a smile, and Lu Zi'an also nodded with a smile.

Outside

With the passage of time, many people were dumbfounded, what was the situation, why did they not see the rocket returning, and whether the launch of the Apocalypse Group was a success or a failure.

When it was dark, Xiusi couldn't help but make a phone call to Xu Ping'an's phone to ask about the result.

"Xiusi, this rocket launch is different from the past, you need to stay in space for two days to conduct a lot of system tests, and you will return to Earth after completing these tests," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

Theus froze, the phone was speakerphone, and Leonardo, who was sitting across from Theus, was also dumbfounded.

The rocket stays in space for two days and returns, what kind of technology is this, this is space shuttle technology, could it be that Xu Ping'an has mastered this technology.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock and fear in each other's eyes, this rocket technology of the Apocalypse Group was too scary.

The United States is so awesome that it can't do a rocket to stay in space for two days and then return, but the Apocalypse Group can do it.

This shows that the rocket technology of Tianqi Group is already at the peak of the global rocket industry!

This is really, and if you don't make a sound, it's already a blockbuster.

"Xu, what kind of technique is this?" asked Xiusi with a strong composure.

Xu Ping'an smiled and said, "Xiusi, the reason why my rocket failed twice in a row is because the researchers' ambitions are too big, and they are not just making rockets."

"I am also doing the research of the interstellar express, the rocket is sent directly to space, and various experiments can be carried out as needed, and the number of days to stay can be completely controlled,.............."

"If we can land smoothly after 48 hours, it means that we have succeeded"

"In terms of rocket launch technology alone, Musk's SpaceX can't be compared, especially since we have absorbed the technology provided by Porsche, and the technology is even more perfect," Xu Ping'an explained calmly.

Only then did Hughes and Leonardo understand what was going on, and hung up the phone after a few polite words.

"How can Porsche have this kind of technology, I don't believe it if you kill me," Leonardo said with great certainty.

Hughes smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I don't believe either, if Porsche has this kind of technology, it will definitely not sell, even if it is sold, it is very easy to sell it for two or three billion euros."

"It was sold to the Apocalypse Group for a few hundred million, and I am worried that there will be something in it that we don't know."

Hughes said this, the relaxed expression on his face disappeared, and he frowned and began to think.

The expression on Leonardo's face also began to become solemn, "You mean, it's a game".

"Very likely"

"Think about it, Xu's accumulation of space technology relied on buying it on the black market, and everyone knows this."

"In just a few years, it has accumulated to this extent, isn't it a little too fast, so fast that people can't believe it"

"Also, you heard it just now, next month he plans to send a test satellite to take animals into space, which is to prepare for manned spaceflight."

"How many years has it taken for the United States to launch satellites to manned space, even if it has data to back it up, it's too fast, it's breathless," Hughes said with a solemn face.

"I don't think there's any need to worry, it depends on how much information Xu has purchased, and another one, now the technology is developing too fast, don't forget, he is the three major bases are conducting research at the same time"

"What's more, now there are great breakthroughs in many hardware, I'll give you an example, the first generation of rockets with a four-square-sized circuit board, now only one chip can be replaced"

"After those research teams absorb the purchased technology, they will definitely usher in a peak of development, and it is normal to have breakthroughs, and it is abnormal if there is no breakthrough," Leonardo said directly.

"The chip gap is so big," Hughes said with some surprise.

Leonardo sighed and nodded, "It's so big, the chip technology in Xu's hand is not weaker than my Qualcomm, which is the fundamental reason why I strongly oppose the restriction of the Apocalypse Group."

"Really let the Apocalypse Group go all out to develop computer hardware, hehe, several large hardware companies in the United States are not far from going out of business."

Only then did Hughes understand how much pressure Leonardo said he was under, but he didn't know, there were some things that Leonardo didn't say, and if he did, Hughes would be even more shocked.

The Apocalypse Institute of Advanced Materials has been researching new lithography technology since its inception, and for many years, there will be no gains at all, Leonardo believes that there are 100% results, but the Apocalypse Group has blocked it.

The next day, many organizations and countries began to mobilize satellites to track this matter, and the rocket was launched and did not come back, what the hell was the Apocalypse Group doing.

It turned out that the rocket was hovering in space, which was a bit confusing, no one dared to be careless, and kept staring, and many people canceled a lot of work to stare at this matter.

Forty-eight hours passed, and the Apocalypse Space Mining Company began to start the return process, and the rocket began to move, and immediately a number of organizations received the news and began to stare at the rocket.

Time passed slowly, the rocket returned smoothly, eight flamethrowers sprayed blue flames, controlled the angle, and the rocket slowly landed to the designated location.

There were huge cheers in the huge control room, everyone was cheering, many people were in tears, it was not easy, and the two failures accumulated a lot of pressure.

Now, those pressures are gone.

Lu Zi'an arranged for people to start calling, and there were a lot of trains in Dunhuang City pulling food towards the Apocalypse Space Mining Company, and today they were going to carnival and vent their inner joy.

Soon, the official website of Tianqi Space Mining Company and the official website of Tianqi Group collectively issued a statement that the second-generation rocket was successfully launched, and the rocket successfully returned to Earth after 48 hours in space and landed at the designated location.

A lot of people were shocked, and the organizations that had the details began to analyze the matter.

Musk and several allies also discussed together, and all of them had solemn expressions on their faces, and they all frowned with red wine and did not speak.

"Now I understand what you mean, the later you fail, the better"

"The Apocalypse Group has failed twice, gained too many benefits, and made his technology perfect a lot, this time it was able to let the rocket stay in space for forty-eight hours"

"This is completely something that can only be done by the space shuttle, and in terms of rocket launch technology, the Apocalypse Group stands at the pinnacle of this industry," Boeing President Kenman said with emotion.

Bombardier's president Peel also nodded on the side, "I really can't imagine that the space technology of the Apocalypse Group has grown so fast, this is unreasonable."

"This is normal"

"According to the information I have, Xu Ping'an spent as much as 6 billion euros on collecting space technology on the black market, and more than 20 rocket drawings were used."

"Some time ago, our manned space data was sold by insiders, and all the lists on the black market to buy manned space data were gone, and now these people have got what they want"

"Although the data is outdated, now all kinds of hardware are coming up, and a group of people can use it directly after researching alternative products, and it won't take long"

"It's just that he absorbed the space shuttle technology so quickly, which was beyond my expectations," Gates said with a solemn face.

"Actually, we don't need to worry, this success will definitely bring great confidence to Xu, which I have verified through Airbus's Norton"

"Xu Ping'an is 100% going to design a space-transforming spaceship, isn't this exactly what we say we need, the faster he absorbs, the faster he will enter the dead loop"

"We all know his personality, and he will not give up if he doesn't complete this design, at least it will cost him a few years and tens of billions of money."

"Our purpose has been achieved"

"The experimental data of the base has come out, which is completely in line with our tone, and I propose that the launch be carried out in December and the first experimental base will be established directly on the moon" Musk looked at everyone after speaking.

Everyone nodded, and unanimously approved the plan, which will be carried out at the end of December, and complete this goal first.
