All of these competitions are actually about money.

Because under normal circumstances, only enough money can feed enough scientific research and industrial population and provide enough production capacity.

All these normal situations do not apply to Gu Song now.

Money is heavy enough, but it no longer accounts for that much weight. Gu Song alone is worth trillions of investment.

Such unequal competition, Gu Song is naturally happy to welcome it.

And for Bao Jiaqi...... The country, as if it doesn't need to invest anything extra.

They want to follow, and the results will be better...... I don't follow, and there is a strategy to deal with it in the original expectation.

It's just that in the face of Gu Song's huge idea, a group of people were speechless.

This is really an unprecedented giant enterprise that has invested in aerospace on an unprecedented scale.

Is the financial strength of the flintstone group sufficient? The four trillion-level listed subsidiaries, plus other unlisted industries with equally good profits, are enough to provide sufficient funds.

What about technical strength? That is the existence of the current leader.

Only such an enterprise can build itself in such a key position, and even become an important wrestling point for future world changes.

……

In the negotiations that followed, Gu Song sent Feng Xiaolong to participate in the witness.

Every time the two sides came back, Gu Song was amazed. They are not like Gu Song, they are all riveted, patient and professional, and give full play to the demeanor of carnivorous rabbits.

Taking advantage of the little information asymmetry conveyed by Gu Song, the content of the negotiation seemed to Gu Song, and Huaguo's side was simply completed with a smile.

Huaguo is believed to have already very destructive quantum computing technology, and in order to limit the use of this technology, the opposite side has really spared no effort to hedge against a large number of threats.

But everyone in China knows that these threats will only remain on paper for the time being, and will not be implemented. Therefore, holding back a smile and using the attack power of this quantum computing technology as a bargaining chip, thinking about how to extract more tangible benefits from them.

Both sides use this issue as a wrestling ground in which to test each other's attitudes.

What added new bargaining chips to the negotiations was the test launch of the flint space rocket, which caused a sensation all over the world.

This rocket launch, in the eyes of insiders, is full of weight.

The insiders here are not the people who received reports of such a launch from the relevant agencies, but the people who really know some of the peripheral details of this launch.

For example, Zhang Liwei and Ye Ziheng of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, as well as the leaders of Huaguo.

This is the first launch in which the Aerospace Science and Technology Group did not play any role in the launch link, and they only cooperated in some production links.

For the interior of Flint Aerospace, this is a concentrated show of all the efforts in the three years since its establishment.

In the eyes of Howard, who has been staring at the Flintstone Group and Flint Island, he never thought that Flintstone Aerospace's new rocket, Candledragon 2, would be such a terrifying guy.

That's right, the concept of "the strongest rocket in history" has only been heard of by some high-level figures within the Chinese space system.

In the past two months when there had just been so many big incidents, how could they have imagined that the goods shipped to Flint Island as usual would contain such tough guys?

Thus, from this island in the Solomon Sea, the most brilliant rocket tail flame ever bloomed. As it resolutely ran towards the sky, the loud sound and shining trajectory were witnessed by all the surrounding countries, and then it was also captured by global observation equipment.

……

"What kind of monster is this?"

“oh my god……”

The observed data can be fed back to the size of this monster.

How long has it been since the surface has seen a rocket launch of this magnitude?

The launch of those space shuttles was certainly spectacular. But a single rocket like this has even more terrifying parameters than a space shuttle launch.

At the moment, they can't judge the true data of this rocket. But the preliminary analysis and judgment have already made people stunned.

This is most likely the existence that has surpassed Saturn 5!

NASA, on the other hand, saw that the data in front of me was already a bit Spartan.

They urgently contacted some friendly cooperative units to exchange data, and also called the China Space Administration and Flint Aerospace as soon as possible to ask for information about the rocket.

Now that the rockets are still in the process of being launched, who has time to pay attention to them.

Then, in the midst of everyone's incredulous gaze, they found that this huge rocket, after separation, began to enter the return procedure again.

The familiar trajectory, the familiar way, makes people think of rocket recovery technology in an instant.

A huge rocket of this level can still be recovered?

All of a sudden, I don't know how many of them collapsed in the minds of astronauts all over the world.

The payload part of the rocket also began to ignite and adjust the trajectory. At that high speed, no one knew what that huge load was.

Unprepared, capturing a real-time image of a satellite that has just lifted off and has no orbital data requires a series of work.

First of all, it is necessary to complete the precision orbit determination. This requires enough satellite orbit data to determine the initial orbit through short-arc orbit determination, and then continue to observe the satellite orbit data and make continuous corrections.

With basic orbital data, we can use a variety of optical equipment with sufficient accuracy to try to capture the image of a satellite flying at high speed.

And right now, it's still in the process of adjusting, and who knows what that is?

But something launched with a rocket of this level can't be a small thing, right?

Considering this tonnage...... Such a huge spacecraft in low-earth orbit, except for the International Space Station, is currently nothing else.

So far, apart from Flint Aerospace, even the officials of Huaguo don't know what it is.

Unlike lunar missions, which have such a long time period, the recovery of the rocket was soon observed by observers everywhere. No signs of a big explosion were detected, so was it a success or a failure?

And that spacecraft, already in orbit, is running.

Under the emergency operation of the supercomputing of all parties and the full operation of the optical observation equipment of many parties, after a short time, a new impact was sent to the bigwigs.

“…… What is this?"

"Preliminary judgment...... is a module of a space station. ”

"What's the function?" said Ma Ba'o's face was heavy.

"I can't tell, the solar truss is still unfolding, and the length of the current observation has exceeded 80 meters. The diameter of the module should be more than 6 meters and the length should be more than 15 meters......"

"Have you observed any other extravehicular instruments that might be functional?"

"Not yet, but the interface was found, and on the observable side, 2 were found. ”

There was silence in the office for a while, and Mabao's voice said, "Let's send a letter to inquire officially." Space is a domain shared by all mankind, and such an act of magnitude requires the disclosure of key data. ”

All kinds of letters came in one after another.

Gu Song also received a lot of calls, and Zhang Liwei's level was no longer enough.

"There will be a press conference soon, veteran, for further information, I will report to you separately after the press conference. ”

……

The headquarters of Yanjing Flint Group, located in the large conference hall on the second floor, is still increasing.

Since the news of the Flint Group was released on Weibo and the official public account, various media have sent the most effective reporters here for the first time.

More than three hours have passed since this launch, and at present, some specious data and news have come out.

Right now, people all over the world are waiting for an answer from Flint Aerospace.

In the parking lot downstairs, several OB trucks are parked, and the media signs outside the vehicles are sprayed to convey the message that something big is happening here.

Far across the ocean, Musk is already in front of the TV, watching the live broadcast.

"Not long ago, Huaguo's Flint Aerospace conducted a rocket launch on Flint Island in the Solomon Sea. According to what is known so far, this was a huge launch, and both the mass of the rocket and the mass of the spacecraft that have been delivered to Earth orbit are much beyond people's imagination. Right now we are outside the Flint Group headquarters building, ready to attend their upcoming press conference. While we wait for the press conference to begin, let's hear from aerospace expert, Mr. Johnson from NASA, about some of the unusual features of this launch. ”

"Hello, audience. In fact, what I'm saying at the moment is just speculation, but there is no doubt that it was a historic launch, because the energy of this rocket is beyond imagination......"

Prior to the official release, similar commentaries were staged on various TV programs.

Zhang Liwei happened to be in Yanjing, and he had already rushed over.

He knew some of the situation, but he didn't know how capable this thing from heaven was in the end.

Importantly, the landscape of space has changed.

Next, how to cooperate with Flint Aerospace?

Time passed minute by minute, and finally waited for Gu Song to appear at the press conference.

There was a lot of people, and the lights flashed non-stop, but there was no noise.

Everyone was listening to what he had to say.

Gu Song sat down, showed a smile to the cameras in the audience, and then said: "Relax, the time of the press conference is not short, please sit down first, reporters and friends in the front row." ”

The reporters looked at him with some admiration and some awe. Based on the information in hand, this is an unimaginable achievement.

This man is really practicing his aerospace dream with an elusive persistence that ordinary people can't grasp.

And now this step is a little too big to be believed.

Just over two months ago, he had just experienced a huge setback. The world is talking about how he may adjust his strategy and advance his space career more conservatively and pragmatically.

Who would have thought that he had already planned a bigger plan.

From now on, this launch is by no means a temporary decision after the last crash of the giant satellite. Such a huge project should have been underway for a long time, perhaps even years ago.

At that time, Flint Aerospace was just preparing to be established, right?

At the stage of preparation for establishment, such a high-tech high-thrust rocket was already planned?

Facing the eyes of the audience, Gu Song said with a smile: "I'm glad to share with you that the first launch test of our Candledragon 2 rocket was successful!"
