Chapter 523: He's a Man, Not a God

After a night, Xu Ping'an left on a special plane the next day, and hurried back to China.

For a few months, the spare parts were delivered to the Apocalypse Space Mining Company on time, and Lu Zi'an arranged personnel for installation and testing, which is the latest reusable rocket.

It's the first launch, and it's careless, and it has to be tested several times.

The plane slowly landed at Dunhuang Airport, Lu Zi'an and the convoy were already waiting outside the airport, Xu Ping'an walked out of the airport and got into the car directly, and went straight to the space mining company.

The company has its own guest house, especially the largest one on the top floor, which is specially reserved for Xu Ping'an, no one is allowed to settle in, only when Xu Ping'an comes over, it has been cleaned three times yesterday.

"Go to the rocket launch site first, I want to take a look" Xu Ping'an said directly, and Xu Zhengyang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, immediately began to use the walkie-talkie to notify the convoy.

There was nothing to say all the way, and soon, the convoy entered the space mining company, went straight to the launch site, stopped at the edge of the launch site, and Xu Ping'an got off directly.

In the distance, the rocket has been erected, with a black body, which is covered with the latest carbon fiber material, and the lower part is six huge brackets.

The whole is much bigger than the rocket once, and when Xu Ping'an was sighing, Xing Ling spoke in Xu Ping'an's head, "The rocket is flawed, and it is expected to explode about 550 meters into the air."

Xu Ping'an's mind was directly clouded, and when he was about to ask Xing Ling what the problem was, Xing Ling spoke again, "The success of human beings after accepting failure, if you succeed at one time, it will attract the attention of many organizations."

"One failure is not necessarily a bad thing, the loss of 100 million euros is worth it".

Hearing this, Xu Ping'an pondered, turned his head to look at Lu Zi'an and asked, "When will we be approved for launch?"

"President, according to the skin of the relevant departments, we can launch at any time in the past half a month, and we only need to file with the relevant departments three days in advance," Lu Zi'an answered truthfully.

"Have you checked it all, and have you installed a monitoring device?" Xu Ping'an continued to ask.

"President, we are very careful about this launch, and we have installed monitoring equipment in all parts, if it fails, we can know very well which part of the problem is, and we can conduct a targeted review" Lu Zi'an said with great certainty.

Xu Ping'an nodded and continued to ask, "According to your plan, when can it be launched?"

"According to our project team's investigation of the weather conditions, one o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow is the best time to launch," Lu Zi'an blurted out.

Xu Ping'an nodded and said, "Prepare according to the plan."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the black rocket, turned around and got into the car, and everyone followed to get into the car, and the convoy drove towards the guest house.

Even if it was his own guest house, Xu Zhengyang still took someone to test the room first, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took someone to leave and let Xu Ping'an rest.

Xu Ping'an did not rest, but made a statement on Weibo, Twitter, and Facebook, the rocket of the Apocalypse Space Mining Company was launched on time at one o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.

Then with the photo I just took, I sent it out.

There are many people staring at Xu Ping'an's social account, many people have seen it, and they immediately forwarded it frantically, and many people were shocked that the Apocalypse Group could launch a rocket by itself, so sci-fi.

In the Celestial Empire, the news of the launch of the first rocket by the Apocalypse Group directly ranked first on the hot search of major platforms, and many media began to contact the space mining company, hoping to obtain the right to broadcast live.

Lu Zi'an and others received a lot of calls, and directly called Xu Ping'an to ask for his opinion, Xu Ping'an thought for a while, "Promise them that each live broadcast will be authorized for three million"

"If you want to buy out on vacation, 200 million".

Anyway, this rocket is going to fail, it is necessary to be able to recover a little loss, the money sent to the door, don't be in vain, although the mosquito legs are thin, it is also meat.

Only three hours have passed, Xu Ping'an was woken up by the phone in his sleep, "President, XX Satellite TV buys the right to live broadcast the vacation for 200 million" Lu Zi'an's voice was full of excitement.

Xu Ping'an was also surprised, XX Satellite TV has the courage, and directly came to the sentence "Sell, tell them that the launch date will not change, it's up to them what to do, you can cooperate with it, and the key departments will be closed directly."

"Yes, I'll reply immediately," Lu Zi'an said with excitement on his face.

Xu Ping'an communicated some details with him and hung up the phone, was in a good mood, and continued to sleep.

After XX Satellite TV got the reply, it immediately handled the transfer, and then began the general mobilization, directly chartering a plane to send elite soldiers to lead the personnel to the space mining company, and people from other departments immediately launched propaganda actions and advertising actions.

The official website of Tianqi Space Mining Company released this news, XX Satellite TV has purchased the exclusive right to broadcast live, please contact our friends to watch the first rocket launch of Tianqi Group through XX Satellite TV.

After the news spread, XX Satellite TV was overjoyed, and the action was even faster, especially the advertising department, which was even more crazy to negotiate, and all kinds of gimmicks flew all over the sky.

The network group also began to build momentum in major forums, this is the first time that a private enterprise in the Celestial Empire has launched a rocket, whether it has succeeded or failed, and whether the Apocalypse Group really has the ability to launch rockets.

How to attract people, just say it, all in order to attract traffic.

On the same night, XX Satellite TV reached an agreement with a video website, and sold the right to live broadcast online for 150 million, and the advertising fee negotiated by Satellite TV has also reached more than 70 million.

The cost of 200 million has been recovered, and it has begun to make a profit, in the middle of the night, the live broadcast team has already arrived at the Apocalypse Space Mining Company, and Lu Zi'an arranged for them to go directly to rest.

Early the next morning, he directly divided the troops into two routes, went all the way to set up equipment, and began to interview the heads of various departments all the way.

Darina asked Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an directly agreed, and at noon that day, the news of Xu Ping'an's interview had already spread, and the people of XX Satellite TV began to rotate.

The interview column can also have advertising, and we must work hard to create a new high in profitability.

Soon, the price of 50 million was sold to an online video company for simultaneous live broadcast, and another 30 million was earned.

Soon, Xu Ping'an's interview began, and the hostess shook hands with Xu Ping'an excitedly and sat down to start the interview, and the topic was tightly around this rocket launch.

As time went on, the ratings were rising.

When asked about the gap between the private rocket enterprises of the Celestial Empire and the private rocket enterprises of the United States, Xu Ping'an began to pretend.

"Private enterprises in the United States can do it, Tianqi Group can also do it, and we can do better in the future" This sentence directly swiped the screen, and the online video website was full of barrages.

Kou can go, I can go too!

This is said to be domineering,

is worthy of Xu Ping'an, just dare to say it

No matter what the result is, just rush your guts, I'll stand up to you,

I'm going to give you monkeys

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

The boss of the video site is also excited, traffic, this is all money, the true value of 50 million spent.

Traffic is money, pop-up ads are also money, interstitial ads are still money, many ads are calculated based on your traffic, such a high traffic, the website has begun to make a profit.

At the end of an exclusive interview, XX Satellite TV has begun to get excited, it has already made a profit of 200 million, and it will be profitable to launch the live broadcast tomorrow.

Within Satellite TV, there are as many as 200 people active on the Internet, guiding various topics to stir up the topic of rocket launches, earning hundreds of millions in just a few days, this kind of opportunity is not common.

Everyone is very desperate for their own bonuses.

This day has passed, and the next day, starting at ten o'clock at noon, the live broadcast of XX Satellite TV began, reporting various details, and at more than twelve o'clock, Xu Ping'an and a group of high-level executives have appeared in the scene hall.

Watching through the huge LED screen, time passed little by little, and when it was almost one o'clock, Lu Zi'an asked Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an nodded, and Lu Zi'an gave the order to launch on time.

"Ten, nine, eight........... Two, one, ignition" The controller pressed the ignition button.

"Boom boom" rocket began to spew out fierce flames, the rocket began to slowly rise into the air, many people began to be excited, the smooth liftoff is worth celebrating, now it depends on whether the rocket can turn around in the sky and land smoothly.

Everyone began to stare at the screen, and soon, the harsh voice of "Didi Didi" remembered, "Not good" Zhao Changkong shouted and began to operate in front of the computer.

"Boom boom" A huge explosion came from the speakers, and everyone watching the live broadcast could see it very clearly, the rocket exploded in the air, and this time the rocket launch failed.

Xu Ping'an didn't notice it, the camera gave him a close-up, with a painful expression on his eyes closed, and this picture came out, making many people cry.

There are many people at home and abroad who watched the launch of the Apocalypse Group's rocket this time, and after seeing the launch failure, many people have mixed feelings.

It can be said that many people did not expect that the rocket launch of the Apocalypse Group would fail, and after thinking about it carefully, it feels that the failure of the Apocalypse Group's rocket is a normal performance.

He is a man, not a god, scientific research is not child's play, scientific research needs luck, and luck does not represent scientific research.

In many places, they are frantically celebrating, celebrating the failure of the rocket launch of the Apocalypse Group, the pressure on them from the Apocalypse Group is too great, and this failure just shows that space technology is not so simple.

If space technology were that simple, the world would be full of countries that have the ability to launch rockets, which is a heavy weapon of a great power, and ordinary countries simply do not have this kind of strength.

The people of XX Satellite TV began to pack up the equipment, Lu Zi'an began to comfort people everywhere with tears in his eyes, and Xu Ping'an sat there motionless.

After the people from Satellite TV left, Xu Ping'an opened his eyes and said, "Dalina, notify all department heads to hold a meeting in ten minutes, and let Lu Zi'an arrange for someone to start searching for the wreckage of the rocket."

Dalena immediately went to convey Xu Ping'an's notice, Xu Ping'an stood up, took Liu Wenjun and the others towards the conference room, and everyone who received the notice also began to gather in the conference room.

Soon, everyone arrived at the conference room, and saw Xu Ping'an sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed, all of them looked uncomfortable, sitting in their positions without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing.
