The "Los Santos riots" on the night of February 6 shocked the world.

The image that has been widely circulated internationally is that the fire burned into the sky, and the deeper picture is that the designated hotel for the "First World Commercial Moon Conference" was breached by rioters, and astronauts from all over the world were violently robbed.

At the time, although the protests on Merrican's side quickly spread to the world, people have become a little used to it.

Seriously, once every few years, once every few years, the number of times, of course people get used to it.

Anyway, it was impossible to solve the problem, and in the end it was all violence, and then it was suppressed by the army.

Fortunately, I still learned a few things, such as protecting various statues, shops, and presidential properties in advance.

This incident is basically a replica of last year's incident, but no one expected that astronauts all over the world would be involved, and it was the one who was violently robbed.

Although some of the teams had already left after the meeting was over, due to time constraints, the protest team surrounded the building early, and a considerable number of the team still lived inside.

Aerospace workers, whether they work in government agencies or private companies, are highly skilled talents, and they have more channels to speak out and more aspects to influence.

The money they were robbed of, and even the injuries they were injured were trivial, but the computers they were robbed of were confidential.

Of course, there are no high-level technical secrets, which will certainly not be carried in laptops and mobile phones, but for astronauts, every word that may be written down is confidential, which cannot be calculated.

The consequences of these electronic devices being snatched away by the mob, being cleared and sold second-hand and circulating the data inside to other space companies are completely different.

Because of the incident, many space companies have condemned Merrican, including Merrican's own company.

The members of their company couldn't walk because the protesters were blocking the entrance to the hotel, and then Merrican officials sent the police to make it clear that they wanted to keep them safe.

At that time, they were quite relieved.

Who knew something would happen at night.

Because of the possible leakage, the international aerospace community was shaken after that.

Almost all companies have canceled various projects in advance or outright, and then they are bombarded with news every day.

Today the space company said so-and-so project, and tomorrow the space company said so-and-so technology.

Today, there was news that the technical progress of a certain aerospace company was delayed, and a certain company came out and said: "No, our research and development has been accelerated." ”

Tomorrow another company will sue another company, claiming that they stole their technology.

These are still small fights by small aerospace companies, and giant companies like space forks are even more bullish, and they are big news as soon as they come out.

"A breakthrough in new welding technology, the starship will fly as soon as possible!" 》

"A breakthrough in new control technology, the new Glenn rocket is expected to fly within the year!" 》

"A breakthrough in new materials, the inflatable space station will be put into orbit again! 》

"The mini shuttle is being upgraded, and it will set sail again! 》

"Suborbital Vehicles Fight the Sky Again, Space Travel Is Just Around the Corner!" 》

The news of various technological breakthroughs is bombarded with all kinds of news, as if mankind is about to enter the full-scale space age.

Outsiders were excited and exclaimed that they were invincible, only Tang Chao knew that the plan was already underway.

Their technology "broke through", and after some time he will receive parts from all over the world.

Of course, Tang Chao knew about this matter, Tang Chao conspired with him at the beginning, and then found the six major aerospace companies.

Compared to the control here, the space companies over there just want to get more orders, and the giant companies that have been dominating the Merriken Space Agency launch mission since decades ago have been pressing on them, and they have always wanted to lift those giants away.

The main business of those companies is not aerospace equipment manufacturing, which was very fierce at the beginning, but now it is a bit of a feeling of lying down to make black money.

Not only did they not upgrade their technology, but they also kept asking for subsidies and deducting money from NASA every day.

They have been in business for decades, and their vast network of connections has escorted them, and if it weren't for the rise of the space fork that directly grabbed their orders, they would have been able to suck the space agency dry while not completing any orders.

Even with the rise of private aerospace and cheaper prices, because of the influence of a huge network of relationships, those giant companies can still get a large number of orders, and private aerospace is facing a situation where billions of dollars a year cannot be eaten, so they want to overthrow the giants.

At the very least, it is to overturn the business in the aerospace field and feed yourself.

Because of these, the two sides have good conditions for stealth cooperation, so the above agreed to Tang Chao's plan.

And according to the information from those "partners", they were called together for a secret meeting, that is, the Navigator company has been targeted.

They were given a new mission: the development of a targeted sniper navigator company.

And oddly enough, the operation was not led by Murriken Space, but by NASA, ARPA, and CIA.

For this, when they were in person, their attitude was very resolute, resolutely sniping at the navigator, and then notified Tang Chao when they changed hands.

Now they just want to make money, vigorously develop their own company, and make themselves giants.

With a 50% profit, it takes a risk.

For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws.

With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging.

In the past, Merriken's arms sales contract broke out in a shocking bribery case, just to sell more of its own company's products abroad and make more profits.

And now the big six space companies want to break the monopoly of the giants and then make themselves the new giants, and of course they can do that.

This news made Tang Chao laugh, because this was completely decrypted for him, and he was involved in Merrican before, and it must have been operated by the CIA in the back.

This time, he let the aerospace company get involved in his company, but the method is still weak, and the prohibition of cooperation is already a cliché, there is no need to say it, and it is useless.

There's only one way.

Technical suppression!

From this moment on, the six major space companies have begun to implement the plan.

"You buy more of our services, or allocate some money to us, so that our technological research and development can be accelerated, our technological breakthroughs are fast, one after another, and the other party has no technological breakthroughs at all, this is a kind of suppression."

"And if our technology breaks through first, it can not only improve the international status of Merriken, but also take the first step to grab the international aerospace market, so that even if the other party breaks through, there will be no orders, and sooner or later it will go bankrupt."

"Next, space travel and the moon will be hot spots, and our research capabilities are limited, unless we recruit more people to expand the research team, but we don't have so many orders, and we don't have so much money, we can't expand the research team."

"Before you think about it, what did we Merrican rely on to land on the moon on behalf of all mankind?"

"We don't need so much money this time, after all, times have changed, and we also have advantages, we only need a little money, a little money to achieve the crushing of Tianxia and the navigator!"

"How's it going, are you excited? It's better to act than to move, we really don't want much, the first rush of 60 million, 10 million per family, you can be happy all year long! ”

"So recharge the money, charge the money to become stronger!"

The boss of every aerospace company is a human spirit, especially in terms of investment, the top bull critic is stunned for a moment.

Of course, because of the relationship between the navigator, this "first charge" is really a first charge, and there are various recharge traps waiting behind until it triggers a new space race in all directions.

You need to throw a lot of money into it, and you can't stop.

Like Merriken Aerospace's two ace pigeon projects, the SLS rocket and the Webb Space Telescope, their development time and development costs have greatly exceeded original expectations.

With that in mind, why not announce the cancellation, but invest more money year after year?

Because a lot of manpower, material and financial resources have been spent before, if the cancellation is announced, won't all the previous investment be wasted?

Fortunately, they can still see the end, they are getting closer and closer to perfection, and there will be a day when they will be launched, and those investments will not be in vain after all.

Sometimes to a certain extent, it really can't be solved by divestment, it's just a matter of equipment, what if it comes to the future of the country?

Just like at the beginning, both sides were about to boil themselves to death, but they still didn't dare to stop, until they finally couldn't hold it anymore and chose to cooperate.

After the competition, many of the bold projects were cancelled.

Without him, it's all money. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
