Champagne foam was sprayed everywhere, and although it was not a holiday, it was quite festive.

Seeing Xu Yuan's arrival, Thomas's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up two bottles of champagne and greeted him.

"Haha, boss, you have to drink a bottle today before leaving."

The atmosphere was different, thinking that there would be nothing to do anyway later, Xu Yuan took the champagne from Thomas's hand with a smile, bit the cap and blew directly on the bottle.

Seeing that the boss was so able to drink, the lively guy on the side whistled, clapped his hands and applauded.

Few and rare animals are like female employees also looking at this, their actions are quite reserved, but their ability to applaud and coax is not inferior to that of their male compatriots.

Seeing that the boss had lost a bottle, Thomas did not show weakness.

The unshaven technician didn't look like he could drink, but he didn't think he was drinking well.

There's no stake here, it's just a group of technicians celebrating their work.

The equipment and parts are from Wishing Star Trading, but the entire rocket is assembled by their own hands, like their children.

By the time the party was over, it wasn't too early outside.

Their homes are on the island close to here, and they commute to and from work by regular boats.

Only a small number of people choose to live in the island's staff dormitories, such as Thomas, who wants to sleep in the laboratory.

After cleaning up the messy canteen, the celebration banquet is over.

After watching everyone get on the boat, Xu Yuan found Thomas, who was about to return to the dormitory.

"Today's launch work was very good."

"Thank you for the compliment." Thomas smiled, but sighed again, "That said, the design of that rocket, from beginning to end, doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. ”

Xu Yuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I have already handed over the relevant technologies to you, and I am looking forward to you using these technologies to design rockets with stronger performance than it."

When it comes to technology, the two worlds are not equal.

But when it comes to creativity and imagination, there is no difference between people in the two worlds.

Aerospace is an imaginative frontier, and with the same technology, Thomas's rockets are not necessarily inferior to the masterpieces of scientists at the source star.

Provided, of course, that he has to put in more effort.

Thomas grinned.

There is no need for commitment at all, astronautics itself is his dream.

Xu Yuan provided him with technology and platform, so he must make some achievements.

"Today's launch mission is very successful, these are the credit of you technicians, in order to show encouragement, I will contact the finance to allocate you a bonus of two million US dollars, half of which is yours, and the other half you watch and send it down."

"You should have said it at the celebration banquet, those boys might lift you up to the sky." Thomas laughed.

He wasn't very short of money, and when Xu Yuan bought his company at a premium, he had already made a lot of money.

Smiled indifferently, Xu Yuan looked at Thomas and said seriously:

"Probably next year, you expect to have about 20 rocket launch missions, which may be busy, I hope you are prepared."

"20 items? Really fake! Thomas was shocked.

Launching a rocket is no joke, although they have also mastered the first-stage rocket recovery technology, but the launch cost of the rocket just now must be at least 50 million US dollars!

"What, scared?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"On the contrary, I can't ask for it." Thomas looked proud.

Just kidding, the biggest concern for the space sector is the low profit of commercial launch missions and the lack of budget.

And Xu Yuan's words undoubtedly dispelled the concerns in his heart, and there was sufficient financial support, not to mention more than 20 rocket launch missions.

Even if that number doubles again, Thomas won't blink an eye!

Just when the two were working on plans for next year's launch.

About 300 nautical miles east of the Lucas Islands, escorted by frigates, two engineering ships are deploying pontoons on the surface of the sea to recover the first stage of the rocket, which has slowly fallen under the action of reverse jet.

Not far away, several unflagged coast guard ships can be seen, keeping a safe distance and monitoring the recovery of the first stage rocket of the Star Trading Company.

Because it was on the high seas, the Wishing Star Trading Co. frigate ignored the watchers, and simply aimed its guns at a distant distance as a warning, and did not make any moves.

When the first stage of the rocket successfully landed and was loaded onto the engineering vessel, the coast guard ships were evacuated.

You can guess with your feet who sent these Coast Guard ships.

The Berry Country disdains Qatar's space technology, Australia does not care about international affairs, and the only countries operating in this sea area are the Eastern Kingdom and Guinea countries.

The economic and trade cooperation between Guinea and Qatar is getting closer and closer, so naturally they will not make such unfriendly temptations.

The East has always been wary of the rise of Qatar, and when Qatar applied for a rocket launch project, they were the first to jump out and oppose it.

Not because of national security concerns, they don't think that a small country with a total population that is not as large as their army soldiers can have any impact on their national security.

They are purely out of a kind of deformed mentality of poor neighbors, that is, they can't see that this small country, which was once despised by him, can have aerospace strength that they can't match.

Of course, I'm afraid that they are more affected now.

Because Wishing Star Trading Company has not only mastered the ability to launch satellites independently, but also mastered the cutting-edge technology of first-stage rocket recovery.

The rocket launch of the country of Qatar has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the national self-confidence of the eastern country.

However, Xu Yuan didn't understand something, this eastern country was already too busy to take care of himself, how could he still be so good at finding trouble.

The news of the successful launch of a meteorological satellite by Qatar caused a small sensation in the international press, but it soon calmed down.

Aerospace, a national-level Olympic sport, is not as popular as it used to be, and people are only slightly surprised that this small Pacific nation is making headlines again, and then the matter is forgotten.

For unknown reasons, UN observers concealed from the media the technology used by the second-stage rocket launch used by Wishing Star Trading.

And Wishing Star Trading Company has not publicly explained to the media, so this technology has not appeared in the public eye.

But Xu Yuan is sure that the Berry Space Agency, which is in New York with the United Nations, must have learned the news and is worried about how to deal with the hearing in the Berry Congress.

After all, they take so much budget every year, but they are compared to a small Pacific country in technology.

It's so embarrassing!

Compared with the calm and calm of the country of Qatar, the east country next door can be said to be in an eventful autumn.

A few days ago, **** managed to capture the second city and declared it the capital of the new country.

The president first made a speech denouncing the other side as terrorists and criminals, and sent two additional infantry divisions and a modern mechanized brigade to launch a large-scale military operation against the occupiers of the second city.

The battle is once again in a scorching state.

On the other hand, the Vice President of the Republic of Canada visited Guinea with the Minister of Economic Affairs, and brought representatives of Yuanying International Mining with more than 10 entrepreneurs, as well as cooperation projects with a total value of more than 1 billion US dollars.

Zheng Weijie seems to have stepped out of the shadow of Zhou Huimin and put all his energy into his work, trying to forget that feeling.

This time, as the general manager, he went there in person and won several processing plant orders for Yuanying International Mining, transferring high-polluting production capacity from the Qatari country to this underdeveloped neighboring country.

The ore from the Special Minerals Group is transported to Guinea for rough processing and then back to Qatar for further processing by special production equipment.

As for the use of these ores, Xu Yuan did not explain to Zheng Weijie in detail, but only said in general terms that he would use these alloys to complete a special project.

Seeing that Xu Yuan wasn't going to tell himself, Zheng Weijie didn't ask much, anyway, he just had to be responsible for doing his part well.

Xu Yuan's mystery, he already has some understanding.

Zheng Weijie can be sure that his little hair must have a secret in another part of the world, but this secret is not something he can access.
