909. Musk's ambitions

Elon Musk is the CEO and CTO of SpaceX, and the CEO and product designer of Tesla, an eco-friendly sports car company. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

What made him famous was that on May 31, 2012, Musk's company SpaceX's "Dragon" capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station and returned to Earth, opening the era of private operation of space delivery.

Musk, who has ambitions and plans to land on Mars in 2024, has now spent $200 million on gems, and he has a new idea to become a shapeshifter, so he can't wait to convene the board of directors of SpaceX and try to convince the major shareholders behind the director.

With the help of mobile phones, video conferences are quickly held. But the other directors looked a little unpleasant. Ten o'clock in the evening is the time for entertainment, and being forcibly and rudely interrupted like this naturally makes me feel bad.

"Musk, if you don't give me an explanation, I'm going to turn my face. You've got a good party! ”

"Fake, I was about to make out with my wife in the bedroom when your call came. If nothing is a big deal, I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow. ”

Musk turned a blind eye to the abuse, knowing that there would be such consequences when he was preparing for the video conference, but the excitement in his heart prompted him to not care at all.

He smiled and said, "I understand your feelings, but it's not too late to listen to me before getting angry." If you are still angry after listening to this, I will bring out my treasured 1995 Lafite and share it with you. ”

When the directors saw Musk's determined expression, their spirits were lifted, and they thought: Maybe this guy's brain has come up with some wonderful idea.

Musk said: "You know about the sacrificial gems, right? I just tried it, and I felt like I had become an elephant, and the muscles contained five or six times more power than ordinary people, and this was without transformation. If you transform, you are almost a little superman who can't fly, and you are invincible among ordinary people. ”

"Are you showing off? We're not as rich as you are. ”

"When I see you tomorrow, can I hit you with a stick and test your muscle strength!"

Some directors are only representatives of funds and investment companies, and their own assets cannot support the consumption of $200 million, and they cannot afford to buy enough gemstones. Hearing Musk's words, the acid in my heart kept bubbling out.

Only a few directors who are themselves rich and have become shapeshifters at an early age, and instead of being envious and jealous of Musk like others, they agree: "That's right, the sacrificial gem is the greatest invention of the century!" I feel physically stronger than I did when I was eighteen, which is fantastic. ”

Musk raised his right fist diagonally and said loudly: "From here I thought, why wait until 2024, just launch a spacecraft this year and land on Mars in one fell swoop." Because not half of our passengers are too strong to speak. The harsh environment of Mars is nothing to the Shapeshifters. ”

The directors were in an uproar, almost all of them opposed.

"Impossible! Landing on Mars is a complete waste of money, and a loss is hundreds of millions, or even more than a billion dollars, so I don't agree with your plan. ”

"That is, what can we get from Mars, can we dig a boatload of sand from Mars and sell it? Such an act is simply suicidal. I thought this plan was just a gimmick, but you took it seriously! ”

There is only one director with a net worth of billions, and he has also experienced physical strengthening, so he agrees with Musk's plan to land on Mars: "Haha, I must be the first person to set foot on Mars, Musk, hurry up and push the landing on Mars." ”

Although there is a supporter, but the other directors refuse, Musk's plan cannot be passed, and naturally it cannot be implemented.

It's just that he said confidently: "Your concepts haven't changed yet, and it's still the old way of thinking." Now that there is a way to sacrifice precious stones, the bodies of the rich have changed from their previous weakness, and they can all go up and down the mountains and seas, hunt tigers and catch fish, and it is the time to take money out of their pockets.

If you think about it, most of the rich people in the world are fifty or sixty years old, and they feel weak, even if they want to go into space. But now they are physically strong and going into space is not a problem, so our company has to seize this opportunity to make money!

We just tested the Raptor engine in McGregor, Texas, and the results were fantastic. It has a thrust of 500,000 pounds, which is fully at the level of NASA's workhorse engine. This means that everything is ready, everything is ready, and it is completely possible to do a big job. ”

After listening to Musk's words, the directors thought about it seriously and felt that they really had a trick, but some of them still did not agree.

"This year is not the shortest distance between Mars and Earth, and it is not a good time to land on Mars at all."

"That's right, running tens of millions of kilometers more is an ordeal for astronauts. If only there was a Ark reactor in Huaguo, it didn't matter if it was a perigee or not. ”

Musk waited for a while until all the objections stopped, and said: "Since Mars is too far away, then we will simply establish a colony on the moon and develop the resources on the moon."

Everyone thinks that if we were the first commercial company to land on the moon, we would not only increase our reputation, but also make a lot of money from the rich people. ”

He had long expected that going to Mars would take months to spend in space, and no rich man could endure such a long and boring life. So landing on the moon and establishing colonies, that's the real plan.

The Moon is only 300,000 kilometers away from Earth, which is much closer than Mars, which averages more than 200 million kilometers, and it doesn't take much time to get to the Moon.

Every director can see this benefit clearly, and there are more voices of approval. But there are still people who are inevitably worried: "There are aliens on the moon, what if they attack our spaceship?" ”

Musk said: "It's been so long, and I haven't seen the expansion of aliens on the moon, so I can treat it as a creature with a peaceful character for the time being." Besides, our landing site is far away from aliens. ”

In this way, Musk convinced the directors. Then SpaceX immediately released rumors on the earth, saying that it was going to establish a colony on the moon and carry out a lunar tourism route.

The incident made headlines in major news outlets around the world, causing a huge sensation, and the price of $20 million was also the focus of heated discussions.

"It's too cheap, isn't it, a trip to the moon and some moon rocks back, it only costs 20 million dollars?"

"Hey, haven't you noticed that SpaceX has a specific requirement that passengers must be morphs! Billionaires who are willing to spend 200 million dollars naturally don't care about 20 million. (To be continued.) )
