There were many people who came to the ceremony, including some of the main leaders of some large mining companies.

Although the Thompson family and the Morgan family took this opportunity to increase their holdings of Newmont Mining, Tang Feng still has a lot of shares in Newmont Mining, and with the current development momentum of Newmont Mining, these shares are undoubtedly quite attractive.

Famous companies in the industry, including the Southern Copper Company of the United States, Nippon Steel of Japan, and Teck Resources of Canada, have all traveled thousands of miles to Denver, all trying to get a piece of the pie at the time of the Newmont reshuffle.

Of course, these companies are mining companies that have no disputes with Newmont or even the American mining industry, and they want to hold shares in Newmont Mining, purely to make profits through such investment, after all, the current development situation of Newmont Mining is well-known to be good, and no one wants to let go of this good opportunity.

In fact, the remaining shares in Tang Feng's hands are indeed the most popular, and the shares in Tang Feng's hands are tradable shares, and there are no restrictions such as restrictions on sales, but these shares were increased by Tang Feng with a full five billion US dollars in cash.

Of course, these things are not done by Tang Feng himself, although he can sell these shares to whoever he wants to sell, and no one can restrict Tang Feng, but the object to be sold must also go through the assessment of Newmont Mining, otherwise it will not be a fun thing to introduce a major shareholder with a ghost in his heart.

But fortunately, with the Morgan family and the Thompson family, Tang Feng only needs to exchange shares directly for money.

On the third day after the dinner, all the shares in Tang Feng's hands finally found the next family, which came from different countries, and after taking over these shares in Tang Feng's hands. Not only did it bring more than $7 billion in funding to Tang, but it also added several more loyal partners to Newmont Mining.

Of course, if you count the part of the shares that the Morgan family and the Thompson family bought back, Tang Feng's shares were sold for a total price of more than $11 billion, and in just four months, Tang Feng made a net profit of $2 billion.

Two billion dollars is not a big deal for Tang. But when used in Star Discovery, Dr. Schmitz can show his skills again.

After selling all the shares in his hand, Tang Feng transferred the two billion dollars he earned directly to the account of Star Exploration Company, and Tang Feng himself flew directly to Cape in Florida on Captain Tiger and the Iron Man, because in three days, Dr. Schmitz will conduct a second rocket recovery experiment.

More than two months have passed since the first rocket recovery experiment, and the original plan was to conduct a second experiment three months after the end of the first rocket recovery experiment, but the recovered "Starry Sky 1" first-stage core rocket body far exceeded Dr. Schmitz's expectations, so it has only been more than two months. Dr. Schmitz was already eager to prepare for the second experiment.

Of course, Tang Feng welcomed Dr. Schmitz's decision, because this experiment was no longer just about launching empty arrows like the last time, but this time it was about loading the rocket with something serious, which was the main hull of the lunar spacecraft that Rockwell International had spent several months making.

As a well-known spacecraft production company in the U.S. aerospace industry, Rockwell International, which once built the "Endeavour" space shuttle, is still not a problem for building a lunar spacecraft, and Tang Feng has a very generous budget for the construction of this lunar spacecraft. As a result, Rockwell International spent months working overtime with thousands of workers and engineers. Finally, the main body of this sci-fi-looking lunar spacecraft caught up with this second rocket recovery experiment.

Of course, the main body of this lunar spacecraft is a large functional compartment to put it bluntly, just like the first component of the International Space Station "Dawn" functional module, this functional compartment named "Starry Sky One" is the foundation of the future lunar spacecraft and even the Mars spacecraft. In the future, the construction of lunar spacecraft and Mars spacecraft will be based on this "Starry Sky One" functional module. Install the various functional chambers and related components to eventually form a lunar spacecraft that can explore the moon and a larger Martian spacecraft.

Because the "Star-1" functional module is built with the most advanced aluminum-lithium alloy, the volume of the "Starry Sky 1" functional module is about 40% larger than that of the "Shuguang" under the same weight as the "Shuguang".

The "Dawn" launched that year weighed about 20 tons. However, it is less than thirteen meters long and a little more than four meters in diameter, so the space inside is not very large. The dry weight of the "Starry Sky No. 1" functional module is also about 20 tons, although the diameter is 30 centimeters larger than that of the "Dawn", reaching a diameter of 4.4 meters, but the length of the "Starry Sky No. 1" is as long as 17 meters.

This means that with the same weight of two functional modules, the "Starry Sky 1" has more space than the "Dawn" functional module, which can place more equipment and allow astronauts to have a more comfortable activity space.

Such a large functional module, even on the International Space Station, has never been seen before, but this just proves that Tang Feng's large-scale investment is absolutely cost-effective. Because this functional module, which integrates the essence of current human aerospace science and technology, and costs up to two billion US dollars, it will become the first core module to lead mankind to Mars in the next few years.

Now, this extremely valuable core functional module, which is loaded with the huge dreams of mankind, is quietly hanging on the huge Starry Sky 1 rocket, waiting for this heavy-duty launch vehicle that has been proven in actual combat to take it into the vast space.

This experiment has also been strongly supported by NASA, after all, Tang's big plan, NASA is also very well aware, and this is also the beginning of the first manned human expedition to Mars, NASA cannot afford not to pay attention to it.

In addition, in addition to NASA, major space agencies around the world, such as ESA, the Russian Space Agency, and the China National Space Administration, all sent representatives to watch the ceremony.

Manned exploration of Mars has attracted the attention of all people of insight around the world, and under such lofty goals, the boundaries between countries have become less clear.

Originally, the Huaxia Space Agency participated in this ceremony, and the United States still resisted, but Tang Feng said ruthlessly, "If there is no Huaxia participation, I would rather not hold this launch!" "It directly forced NASA to compromise, which led to this cooperation that broke down borders.

Now, everyone is waiting for this second rocket to take off, to see if this rocket, which carries too many dreams, can meet the requirements of its design. (To be continued.) )
