Chapter 277: Matter

It's time for all the excitement!

With a loud bang, the rocket flew up.

"Don't drop !!"

All the personnel of SpaceX are nervous at this moment.

The crowd of visitors stood at a long distance and looked at the rocket launch site, only to see thick smoke billowing and a raging fire coming out from behind the butt of the rocket, and then "whoosh" and flew up.

"Hi, I'm Blake Stone, an ABC TV reporter, and we're broadcasting live from SpaceX's rocket launch site, and as you can see, the Eagle 1 launch vehicle has been launched and is heading into space. The speed of the rocket is getting faster and faster, and we can only see in the distance that there is still a beam of light dragging on the tail of the rocket. ”

"Whether the Flying Eagle 1 can be successfully launched or not, the next test is finally coming. ”

"When a rocket is going to break out of the dense atmosphere, the temperature generated by friction will be very high, about 4,000-6,000 degrees Celsius! Oh, such a high temperature, enough to burn a car in a short time. Although the rockets use special heat-resistant materials, there are many rockets that explode for this reason!!"

At this moment, countless viewers across the United States who watched the live broadcast of the rocket launch were holding their breath and sweating for the Flying Eagle-1 rocket.

"Mom, will the rocket be launched?" asked a cute little girl of five or six years old, looking up at her mother.

The girl's mother gently touched her little head and laughed softly: "Honey, it will be successful, the rocket will be launched!"

……

At the SpaceX Rocket Launch Center, at this time, a voice suddenly came out of the radio: "Everything is normal with the rocket, and it has now broken out of the atmosphere." The first stage of the rocket fuel has run out and the second stage of the rocket is being started......"

"The second-stage rocket started to accelerate, and the speed exceeded 7.9 kilometers per second, successfully breaking away from the earth's gravitational !!"

After a period of time, an excited voice came from the radio: "At 12:10:15 p.m. on May 1, 1993, the Flying Eagle-1 carrier rocket successfully sent the communication satellite to the designated orbit !!"

yes!!!

All the employees of SpaceX jumped with excitement when they heard this!

"We succeeded!!"

"We succeeded!!!!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Quite a few people hugged each other and laughed. hugged each other and cried, tears of excitement!

A reporter from ABC TV said to the camera: "As far as we know, the Flying Eagle-1 carrier rocket manufactured by SpaceX is currently the rocket with the lowest cost but extremely high technical content! A high-ranking personnel of SpaceX revealed that SpaceX only costs $90 million to launch a rocket, and is the only company in the industry whose rocket launch price is less than $100 million!"

……

After the successful launch of the Flying Eagle-1 carrier rocket, the US Department of Defense, NASA, and the US military immediately became enthusiastic about SpaceX.

The representative of Motorola was also smiling," said Mr. Henry Williams. Are you interested in working with the Iridium Project?"

Henry smiled, and at that moment, SpaceX signed a total of 15 orders with the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, the U.S. military, and Motorola, with a total value of $1.35 billion, and the rocket production and manufacturing alone had been scheduled until 1995.

Immediately, SpaceX held a party to celebrate. Carnival.

Henry took a few drinks and quietly left.

The rocket is all right after launching? The satellite is still on it.

"Mr. Williams. The live satellite is now functional, and after our experiments, it can broadcast TV programs smoothly!"

"Very good!"

Henry smiled and hung up the phone. Subsequently, he had the company DirecTV founded, which was a television operator. The satellite is currently mainly used in Southeast Asia. Through DirecTV, Asia TV and ABC TV can all be broadcast in Southeast Asia and more, thus expanding Henry's influence in Southeast Asia!

……

The next day, American newspapers reported on SpaceX.

Netizens are also discussing.

"Damn, SpaceX, founded by Henry Williams, can launch rockets. It's awesome!!"

"yes, it feels so high!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Henry is sitting at SpaceX at the moment.

At the meeting, Henry emphasized: "This success is only a small step, we still have a long way to go! Our first goal is to develop a launch vehicle that can be recovered." If the rocket can be recycled, we can reuse it many times, which will greatly reduce the cost!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, this good idea is simply amazing, but it is not easy to recover the launch vehicle!

Everyone present couldn't help but discuss.

Henry said: "I will point out the direction for you, maybe it can't be achieved with the current technology, but if the direction is clear, our research and development speed can be much faster!"

"That's it, adjournment!"

After adjourning the meeting, Henry was the first to stand up and leave the room.

In the afternoon, he had to go to the Fund's headquarters on a trip, and Rothman told him that the lab had developed a drug that might help him.

……

……

Gene Umbrella Headquarters, 4:50 p.m.

Henry went to the tenth basement floor, and Rothman took out a crystal bottle containing a golden liquid like oral liquid and placed it in front of Henry.

Rothman said: "Chairman, after our testing, your cerebral cortex will give birth to a mysterious substance, we haven't figured out what this thing is yet, because its shape is very similar to the letter T under the microscope, so we temporarily named it T substance!"

At this time, Rothman pointed to the bottle of potion on the table and said: "This is our special neurotrophic factor golden elixir, taking it can suppress the growth rate of T substance! The manufacturing cost of this golden elixir is very expensive, a 10ml golden elixir costs 100,000 US dollars, and drinking one a day costs more than 30 million US dollars a year......

When Henry heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

What is so expensive!!

Seeing Henry's surprised expression, Rothman explained: "We extract less than 0.01ml of trace elements from a large number of precious drugs through biotechnology, and then synthesize them into a rare medicine, so it will be so expensive!"

Henry nodded, holding the bottle in his hand and observing, the golden liquid inside emitting a hint of luster.

"Does this really work?"

"It should be possible, we have done hundreds of experiments, and there are no problems. It's just that this potion can only suppress the rate of T growth in your brain, not kill or stop it!" Rothman replied.

"Well, I see!"

Henry placed the bottle on the table and asked Rothman, "How much of this golden potion has been produced now?"

"It's only 20 bottles for now," Rothman said, "but don't worry, we can produce 5 bottles a day!"

Rothman beckoned to a researcher not far away, who came over with a silver safe.

Rothman took it, put it on the table, then turned the numbers, adjusted the code, opened the box, and saw that there were 19 potions inside, and Rothman put the single potion on the table into it, just full.

"Chairman, you can take it with you when you leave later!" Rothman pushed the safe in front of Henry, "The password is your birthday!"

Henry nodded, and closed the box.

After that, Henry did a full body check-up here and left with the box.

As soon as Henry left, several professors in their sixties walked up to Rothman and said, "Rothman, is it really right for us to do this?"

Rothman's expression was completely different from before, exuberant and excited.

"Professor Douglas, don't you think T matter is amazing? Why stop it? You and I both know that T matter is going to change the world!!" Rothman cried out in a frenzied voice.

Rothman didn't tell Henry the full truth, the golden potion was indeed very precious and valuable, but there was one thing added to it - the T substance.
