When the two astronauts of Star Navigator landed smoothly on the runway in the Dart X orbital shuttle and walked out of the terminal through the boarding bridge, they were treated like heroes.

The flash flashed, and the reporter "screamed" and stretched the microphone forward, just to hear a sentence before the official press conference.

Unfortunately, no, everything has to be done according to the process, and neither astronaut will answer their questions individually.

But the reporters could tell a lot from the way the astronauts walked and how they made their facial expressions.

For example, the astronauts are calm and calm, and they do not feel any discomfort when they come back from space.

Although they have not been in space for a long time, this sense of calmness ......

It's not like acting.

The on-site reporters are very active in their thinking.

"The Navigator Company is a real deal this time."

"It seems that the comfort of the shuttle is indeed very high, I wonder if there is no opportunity to sit in the name of interview and publicity?"

"I really want to go to space, but unfortunately I can't even afford a ticket, by the way, I heard they have a lottery, maybe I can give it a try."

"I'll have to find a chance to dig up some real material, maybe I can try to lurk in their company, after all, when I was promoted to a full-fledged reporter, the newspaper specially asked scouts to teach us to lurk, yes, just lurking in the grass outside, I don't know if it can be done, but it's worth a try."

Tang Chao didn't know that the current newspaper was so fierce, and he actually trained his reporters to find scout teachers, and in order to engage in news, he really did his best.

The two astronauts did not rest or do any checks, and the new in-cabin spacesuits they wore had a vital signs recording system, sensors for all important parts of their bodies, and the final data was concentrated in a recording module on their chests.

This data is reflected in real time on the personal terminal, and it is also displayed in the command hall and medical center when performing various tasks, and in the event of an accident, experts will tell them what to do at any time.

Of course, this distance has to be relatively close, if the communication delay is too serious, the experts can only give some major suggestions, and real-time things can only be solved by the team doctor.

But those are not in a hurry, the time is so early, now let's solve today's press conference first.

The first manned mission was a success, but Tang Chao said that there was still something to test, so there were probably a few more manned tests.

If this is an ordinary private space company, it will definitely not dare to play like this, after all, the manned spacecraft is launched for hundreds of millions of dollars, and several tests cost a lot.

The navigator does not have this kind of worry, and the total cost of three or five manned tests is not as much as the cost of one time of other companies, so they can also try to test the limit of the shuttle, and try to bring a sense of safety to future passengers.

After three or five tests, enough tests should prove the safety of the shuttle, and by then, the shuttle driver and passengers should no longer need to wear helmets, and it will be time for the shuttle to be officially commercialized.

The protagonists of Jin's press conference are the two private astronauts and Tang Chao, the big boss, especially Tang Chao, although the two private astronauts have entered space, but compared with Tang Chao, the big boss who has always been mysterious and has always appeared as the chief technology officer, there is a sense of topic.

After all, previous space tourists can also be considered private astronauts in a sense, so the media does not pay much attention to them.

Or not so much.

The reporter also asked them a lot of things, but not as much as Tang Chao.

It is estimated that when they land on the moon as private astronauts, or the first group of private astronauts to land on the moon, there will be more attention to them, and now, Tang Chao, the decision-maker and technology provider, is the person they most want to interview.

"Mr. Tang, will 'Dart X' be converted into a space fighter?"

"Mr. Tang, what do you think of the current situation in space? Will you be working with Merrican? ”

"Mr. Tang, do you think humans can fight aliens? If humanity were at war with aliens, where do you feel the first shot would be fired? ”

"Mr. Tang, is your company's rail shuttle for sale? If it's for sale, sell me one, money is not an issue. ”

When everyone heard it, hey, which reporter was so angry?

Is it planning to sensationalize and make the news hot?

When I turned my head, I saw that the man was dressed in a white robe, wearing a white turban, the white turban was bound by a black circle, and he had a beautifully corrected beard.

Oh, the oil alliance, that's fine.

Go on.

"Mr. Tang, I wonder what your company's future plans are for space tourism? Will the orbital shuttle be used alone to develop space tourism, or will the entire orbital shuttle be sold for other space tourism companies to buy, and enter the full-scale space tourism industry? ”

"Mr. Tang, how is the progress of your company's 'Star Inn' space station? When will we be able to live in a real commercial space hotel in space? ”

The reporters' questions were the same as the Gatling gun, of course Tang Chao couldn't answer them all, he picked the questions he felt good about and answered them, especially the one in the oil alliance, and answered them by name.

This is a big customer.

In order to get rid of its reputation as "only selling oil", the oil alliance has been leaning on the name of "city of science and technology" and "city of the future" in recent years.

In order to get this kind of name, there will definitely be no less investment in science and technology, but there are few people in their country, and they can't support a systematic science and technology chain at all, so there is such a thing as the Mars rover of the Petroleum Alliance.

Roughly speaking, the oil alliance will pay for it, Meriken will provide technology and deep space tracking and control network, and Sakura Country will provide rockets.

Although they exaggerate how much they have participated in and how many aerospace talents they have cultivated for the alliance with this program, everyone knows what the actual situation is.

There are few people in the country, and even if there are talents and funds, they cannot play a complete aerospace system.

Of course, considering systematization, that is the configuration of large countries, and in the current state of globalization, some "delicate small countries" can also do only one strategy to highlight technology.

So how to say it, no matter what, the phenomenon of the oil alliance frantically going to the country to grab technology products has appeared.

So the world's largest high-tech buyers emerged, and they were absolutely willing to spend money.

Just following this question, Tang Chao talked about the operation of the orbital shuttle.

There are three of them.

The first is the newly created Star Navigator Space Tourism Division, which is dedicated to space tourism and will use the company's own orbital shuttle to usher in the era of true human space tourism.

The second is the sale of the Orbital Shuttle, which sells a standard version of the Orbital Shuttle, and there are no restrictions, anyone can buy it.

The third is to train private astronauts, and to assess these people, after passing the examination, you will be given a professional certificate to prove that you are a qualified orbital shuttle pilot.

This business is more for those who are privately wealthy and commercial aerospace companies, and you can train shuttle pilots for them, or if the private rich want to drive their own orbital shuttles, they can train here and get a certificate.

And the orbital shuttles sold also offer conversion business, which can be converted into luxury space yachts for those who are rich.

If the rich don't plan to ride at full capacity, the rail shuttle can be changed to quite luxurious.

Now Tang Chao's words are effective, because he is not only the chief technology officer of Star Navigator, he is also the boss of the company.

Hearing the news, the reporters were shocked in their hearts, and those who watched the live broadcast were even more shocked.

Especially other companies that are ready to develop space tourism.

It's just that the company that wants to go in this direction is better to say, and most of the heart is happy, because compared with other planned manned equipment, the competitiveness of the orbital shuttle is undoubtedly the greatest, so if you want to develop in this area, it is right to sell the orbital shuttle.

And those companies that have completed their own research or are developing their own manned spacecraft are not in a good mood, because as soon as Tang Chao's words came out, their business in this area was lost.

There is no way, the manned space equipment of other companies cannot be compared with the orbital shuttle at all.

The heaviest mood here is Merriken's several private space companies with space tourism business, not only them, but even the officials have stepped in.

Within five minutes of Tang Chao saying this, the boss of a private space company was summoned to a secret cyber conference room by Merriken Space Agency officials.

"Gentlemen, we must find a way to fight back!"

When the people heard this, they said, "Why is this sentence again? How many times have you said this?"

A boss who has not developed his own manned spacecraft, but is about to enter the space tourism industry, said: "Sir, I don't understand what you mean, the Navigator company has already said that there is no restriction on the sale of orbital shuttles, and we can buy their orbital shuttles to develop our own space tourism." ”

"Our company is developing inflatable space capsules, and we are confident that the cost of the space station will be lower than theirs, and the space will be much larger than theirs, and the huge space means that we have more decoration options and more entertainment projects, so they will definitely not be able to compete with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the official person said: "No, we must not buy their orbital shuttle, then it is not a question of whether to fight back or not, but to admit defeat directly!" ”

"And they will definitely pretend to be equipment spy equipment inside, and listen to our space secrets, which is absolutely not allowed, so for the sake of our national security, we must not buy their orbital shuttles!"

“……”

Well, what an extremely traditional "crime".

This is probably because the navigator refused to cooperate before, and then he was hated by the official, but wasn't this what the official did at the beginning?

Seeing that the overall state of Tianxia is getting better and better, and they want to cooperate with the world, it is a supermarket with serious big capital, but as a result, Merrican is in charge of it, and things with a slightly higher technology content are not allowed to be sold.

But the higher the technology content, the less sales are tended, because many countries that are not "level" enough do not use those high-tech gadgets at all.

Seeing that such a huge market in Tianxia has risen, and the demand for high-tech gadgets is very large, the suppliers are screaming with their products, and the official Merrican "click" the door closed, blocking the wealth of the suppliers.

Supplier of high-tech products: "??? ”

It's not enough to control the suppliers in your own country, even the suppliers in other countries are in control, and even those suppliers who have started to cooperate with Tianxia a long time ago.

One order down, sales directly less than half.

Suppliers are going crazy and stumbling.

But it can't be helped, they can't do Merrican, they are not a supergiant company in cyberpunk, so they must do things according to Merrican's rules.

However, today's incident, the bosses here did not expect it, they thought that the orbital shuttle machine would wait a long time before it was officially put into service, but they did not expect it to be so soon.

They suspect that it has something to do with aliens.

Just like a reporter asked, "Will it be changed to a space fighter", they can answer without Tang Chao answering.

"Definitely!"

You don't have to think about this matter at all, the aliens are coming, and you can't change it if you don't want to.

It comes from the deep fear of the unknown in the human heart, and once you encounter this kind of thing, all you can think of is to arm yourself first.

Take a sword and put on armor, so that you will have a little sense of security.

"Mr. Kuna, in this case, let's hurry up and pass the restart proposal of the 'Adventure Star' single-stage orbiting vehicle, funds, scientific researchers, materials, etc., as long as these things are in place, combined with our current plan, we can improve it in a very short time."

"With a carrying capacity of more than 20 tons, it is enough to crush the Navigator's Bone Sculpture Shuttle, and even have a real space bomber before the arrival of aliens."

"I know ......"

Kuna showed a rare hint of hesitation, and continued: "There were some things that delayed the certification work before, but now the councillors have all agreed that everything you need will be available in the shortest possible time, but you promise that it must be completed in the shortest possible time." ”

"And according to military standards, we need it to be a standard space fighter, as for the shipment, we will not consider it for the time being."

"And Mr. Ma Yilong, your Star Arrow Launch System has been listed as a key support project, I hope you will not disappoint the parliamentarians."

When Ma Yilong heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Don't worry, it's going well, and it is guaranteed that the first flight can be carried out before the New Year, and the first flight will definitely be successful." ”

In the live video, Tang Chao also said: "Three days later, our Yuanhang and mankind's first unmanned exploration spacecraft will be launched at the Marina Launch Center, and will soon join the Mars exploration sequence, which will add a boost to mankind's Mars exploration cause." ”

"There are also alien probes, which will be invisible under its illumination!"

This sentence froze the atmosphere in the conference room, and Kuna asked the space agency people, "Have our two plans found the probe?" ”

"Not yet."
