Chapter 1150: Space X's dilemma and way out
It's just December, and it's a little busy!
The perfect performance of Starry Sky 1 has thoroughly proved the strength and level of Mortal Starsky, whether it is the launch ability, the recovery ability, or the success rate, it is at the advanced level in the industry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As a direct result, Mortal Sky has become a better and more reliable choice than competitors such as Space X.
Therefore, many companies that originally planned to entrust Space X have also switched to Mortal Starry Sky to carry out in-depth cooperation with Mortal Star.
After all, the technology of the mortal starry sky is more reliable, the ability is more powerful, and the cost performance is higher.
And Space X, Falcon 9 alone, has exploded several times, and there are too many antecedents, which makes people feel uneasy!
After all, once it is blown up, the losses are endless, and even if there is a compensation payment, it will take time to build a new satellite, thus delaying the entire big plan.
Pay for one's whistle.
It's better to directly choose a more reliable existence, for example, mortal starry sky!
As a result, many bigwigs came to the door one after another and asked for cooperation.
In this regard, Wang Fan can ignore the general small customers and just hand them over to Ding Quan and others.
But the heavyweight big customers, the chairman of the board of directors are here in person, can Wang Fan pretend not to show up?
That's impossible.
After being busy for more than a week, Wang Fan was able to be idle, but the results were also remarkable, and he signed several large orders alone.
Therefore, Wang Fan directly decided to take the 25th of each month as the launch day of the mortal starry sky.
As long as there are no accidents, as long as the weather is not too bad, then, almost every month on the 25th, the mortal sky will carry out rocket launches.
On the one hand, there are nearly 19 satellites of Mortal Technology, such as the current Mortal Navigation Satellite, that need to be launched, and there are still five that have not been reflected!
In addition, the future global satellite Internet service (global wifi) project will require at least 1,000 satellites.
On the other hand, it is a variety of commercial commissions, paid by other enterprises, and commissioned mortals to launch from the stars.
For example, this time, there are more than a dozen satellites of various kinds commissioned by major enterprises alone.
And these, after arrangement, this month's mortal starry sky must be shot into the sky for others!
And launch vehicles, even less so.
The first Star-1 launch vehicle, numbered 00, has long been properly maintained and ready to be launched again at any time after it has been recovered.
In addition, the second Starry Sky 1 launch vehicle, number 01, has also been transported to the Wenchang launch center.
It's just that it will take some time for the Star One to be manufactured and launched.
However, everything has entered a virtuous circle.
After all, except for space station missions, there are not many that have to be Starry Sky Giant, not to mention that the maximum load of Starry Sky 1 is 1.5 times that of Falcon 9, which is enough to cope with the vast majority of needs!
With the prospect of increasing brilliance and orders from the mortal starry sky, Space X can be closed.
Although Elon Musk has returned some support by running naked, he has inhibited the decline of Space X to a certain extent.
But Elon Musk's live broadcast is a bit big and not sincere, so it can't achieve the same achievements as the Black Mirror male protagonist and British Prime Minister Michael Callow.
You know, British Prime Minister Michael Callow, but a real live pig!
In order to save the princess, British Prime Minister Michael Callow sacrificed his dignity and marriage, but won the strong support of the British people.
made Michael Callow, one of the prime ministers with the highest approval rating in British history, achieved re-election, outstanding political performance, and went down in history!
And Elon Musk played tricks, and the effect was naturally greatly reduced.
Many customers have defected en masse and defected to the mortal starry sky.
So, all of a sudden, Elon Musk was hard again!
Mortal stars robbed their customers, earned their money, and even cut off their path!
In desperation, Elon Musk had no choice but to convene an emergency board of directors to discuss the way out!
"We all know the current situation, to put it bluntly, there is only one, by launching commercial satellites for other enterprises to make profits, this road is basically impassable!"
Elon Musk got straight to the point and looked at the crowd: "I want to ask everyone, what kind of ideas or suggestions do you have? Or, how can we get out of the current quagmire and usher in a new dawn?"
Vice President Gwynne thought for a moment: "I did some research on this question. Task breakdown is possible. The main difficulties at present are twofold. ”
"Oh, two-sided?" Elon Maslow smiled and said, "Gwynne, I'd like to hear about it!"
Gwynne nodded: "First, that's the issue of the launch vehicle project. The reality now is that commercial commissions are massively reduced, but the workers on our side, the maintenance of rockets, and so on, all require costs. It can be said that if there are not enough satellite launch missions, then we will only lose in vain and make ends meet. ”
Everyone nodded, and that was the reality.
Just like a fab, even if it doesn't work, it will have a lot of expenses, and it will only make ends meet.
"The second aspect is profit-making projects! Since commercial entrustment is not working, we can only find new profit-making projects. Gwynne said: "For example, the current situation of our space X is an economic crisis. However, if there are fewer external commercial commissions, that is, there is no external vitality! Then, under this phenomenon, whether it is the United States, Europe, or China, they can often only make one choice!"
"Develop domestic demand!" Gwynne further said: "The external vitality is no longer there, and we can only rely on domestic demand to stimulate the economy. For example, China, with strong domestic demand, has achieved a soft landing of the economy again and again and got rid of the economic crisis. Therefore, we can also start with domestic demand!"
"Since there are fewer external commissions, let's expand domestic demand and increase internal satellite launch missions!" Elon Musk's eyes lit up: "Gwynne, you mean that we are going to fully open the global Internet business?"
Gwynne nodded: "Yes, the satellite Internet service plan is fully launched! By launching 4,425 satellites, we will provide high-speed Internet services to the world." The satellites will be launched into low-Earth orbit to provide users with high-speed network services of 1 gigabit per second. And we at Space X will also achieve stable and considerable profits through this project, instead of relying on externally commissioned satellite launches, which is very unreliable!"
Elon Musk hesitated slightly: "The satellite Internet service plan, at least $10 billion, is a serious test for us. ”
Gwynne waved his hand: "Don't worry, Boss, the shareholders will solve the financial problem for us." I believe that this project will be of interest to most people, such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Facebook...... Well, these are our potential big funders! As soon as we get the approval of the FCC, the plan can be opened, the financing can begin, and the current crisis will be no longer a thing!"
