Chapter 910: SpaceX Progress
The United States today has huge income disparities across all classes and occupations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Harris now earns $100,000 a year, and the average software developer at HOPE Technology has an average salary of about $59,000, which is the highest in Silicon Valley.
At present, the average salary of teachers in the United States is $36,700, while the average income of farmers engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry in the United States is less than $10,000 a year.
The cowboys and employees of Snow Mountain Ranch earn nearly $30,000 a year on average, which is why farmers and herdsmen in other places envy the employees of Snow Mountain Ranch.
In northwestern Montana, those who work for snowy mountain ranches have become a sought-after commodity for local singles and men......
Harris Jr. is now an out-and-out white-collar worker.
Han Xuan didn't take special care of him because he was his friend, Harris did give a lot of good advice in the development process of several software, and he worked hard when writing software, which is the amount of salary he deserves.
With money in his hand, Harris naturally would not treat himself badly, and in order not to disturb his roommate's rest at night, he rented a villa-style apartment next to Stanford University.
Usually he lives there alone, and there are extra guest rooms, Han Xuan and Anya went to stay with him last night......
It's a sunny day.
The magpie was in the plane tree outside the window, chirping non-stop.
A crow infested their nest, and the two stood at the top of the branch facing each other, cocking their tails and threatening each other.
Drink some clear porridge in the morning, Han Xuan ate too much seafood smorgasbord last night, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable.
Holding the bowl at the moment, he asked Harris across the table, "What are you studying at Stanford University now?"
"There are almost no classes on weekdays.
Recently, I have been working with my mentors to write several programs to be used in the Titan rocket in the future, and Stanford University has a long-term cooperation agreement with NASA, which is very authoritative in the aerospace field.
…… By the way, don't tell anyone about this, I signed a confidentiality agreement. ”
I hadn't seen Harris for months, and his height had skyrocketed.
When I first met him last year, he was still a short, round little fat man, but lately he has been like an elongated dough, looking much slimmer.
It can only be said that he is strong, not fat, and slightly handsome.
Programs that can be used on launch vehicles, each of which is important.
Han Xuan was surprised to learn that his friend was able to participate in such important national work, and he was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.
"Come on!
Now learn a little bit more, and when my SpaceX starts developing rockets, you're going to help out......"
Since its incorporation, SpaceX has only built a factory a few kilometers away from Vandenberg Air Force Base, and nothing else has been done.
Discussions with the Kuznetsov Design Bureau of Russia on the purchase of the NK-33 and NK-34 rocket engines, as well as the RD-180 rocket engine developed by the Power Machinery Research Consortium, are being carried out secretly and privately.
A newly appointed senior Russian defense official, after accepting a "sponsorship fee," is trying to lobby the Russian authorities to sell those rocket engines that are more than 10 years old and "about to be abandoned" to Han Xuan's company in exchange for military spending.
The Russian top brass is not so stupid, they know how important this batch of rocket engines is, and for a while no decision was made.
The Secretary of Defense, the general, helped to come up with an idea, saying that it might be because "Franklin" was not in place, and as long as he was given more funds for his activities, he could solve it.
This matter is in the hands of his own old man, Han Xuan learned some news from him, and he didn't ask much about the specific inside story, and he himself didn't know much.
The matter of poaching technical experts from Russia has encountered some difficulties.
For the first time, 217 specialists were successfully recruited privately from the Southern Missile Design Bureau of Ukraine, as well as from the Rocket Research Institute of the Central Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
In the first two months, they dragged their families to Turkey in batches for "tourism", and then directly took a plane from Turkey to the United Kingdom, and then came to the United States.
The U.S. government is happy to see this kind of thing, and although it is not a national poacher, SpaceX is also an American enterprise.
After using some connections, the Han family successfully helped them apply for their identity and issue green cards to those experts and their families who legally live in the United States for a long time.
The movement of the matter is too big, and it will inevitably attract the attention of the Russian high-level.
Recently, when I approached rocket and missile manufacturing experts who were idle in their homes, they replied that they had been restricted from leaving the country freely......
On the Ukrainian side, the situation is going well.
The chaotic high-level personnel were busy with infighting all day long, and it seemed that they had no idea that a large number of employees of the Southern Missile Design Bureau were resigning or being fired one after another every day.
Of course, this may also be the reason why the head of the Southern Missile Design Bureau, who has the rank of lieutenant general, has an extra account of five million dollars in Switzerland and is busy counting money all day long, so he "forgot" to report to the Ukrainian authorities.
Han Xuan is planning to change his mind and solve this problem recently.
Since Russia does not plan to release people, then it will be much simpler to operate the SpaceX branch directly to Moscow.
Now over there, as long as money is used to open the way, many seemingly impossible incidents can be easily solved.
It will take at least four years to build SpaceX's rocket, so let's put it aside.
Now.
After breakfast, Han Xuan walked to Stanford University.
The job fair is about to begin.
As one of the most beautiful campuses in the United States, Stanford University has many famous attractions.
Anya brought a camera with her, and she had recently been obsessed with learning photography, when she saw a beautiful blue robin on campus and squatted on the ground to photograph it.
Han Xuan heard the movement behind him, and turned around to find that his people were in the middle of the road.
More than a dozen students on bicycles stopped behind them, smiling and covering their mouths with their hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.
After seeing this scene, his heart suddenly warmed, Stanford's classmates, the cultivation is really good.
"Pictured?" Han Xuan asked when he saw Anya standing up and fiddling with the camera.
"Well, but I don't seem to have put the film. ”
Anya said in a daze, her face a little helpless.
She also met the students who stopped and didn't bother her.
was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
I've got it done, you guys can go, thank you. ”
When some students passed by, they greeted Han Xuan, and then gave a thumbs up, smirking and saying, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful, Han!"
"That's right!
Sure enough, like Ms. Elizabeth Taylor, her eyes are also purple, so beautiful!"
Han Xuan laughed shamelessly, and instead of denying it, he said to them: "Thank you for the compliment, she will be proud!"
Anya didn't know that she was being taken advantage of by Han Xuan, and was standing on tiptoe to look at the grass in the distance, thinking about what so many people were doing there...... (To be continued.) )
