Luo Sheng was alone in his private office.

"Cortana, create a new index file, and it's called ...... Star Arrow International. ”

After pondering for a while, Luo Sheng determined the name of his private space exploration technology company, which was called "Star and Arrow International", which was always to serve the world.

In the next few days, Luo Sheng personally went to deal with the establishment of Star Arrow International, because it was not a regular enterprise registration procedure, which was a special pilot project for private aerospace companies by the state.

Star & Arrow International's registered capital is 1.5 billion yuan, about 220 million U.S. dollars, and the new company was founded, and Luo Sheng didn't have friends on Wall Street to play with.

It's impossible now, there was a conflict just now, and there is no way to play it all together.

But it is not completely a sole proprietorship, Shengfeng Capital, Bluestar Technology and Cote d'Azur are all major shareholders of Star Arrow International, accounting for 30% of the shares according to the proportion of capital contribution, and Luo Sheng personally accounts for 10% of the shares, but the three companies do not interfere with any operating rights of Star Arrow International, that is, in a legal sense, his own three companies are all financial investments made by Star Arrow International.

Anyway, it's all left hand for right hand, but the biggest purpose of this shareholding model is to be closely related to each other.

Another purpose is to transfer personnel from three companies, which seems logical, otherwise, for example, if an important engineer is transferred from Bluestar Technology, the shareholders will be dissatisfied with Luo Sheng's behavior of harming the public and private interests, and it is really unreasonable.

After the three companies invested in Starship International, there was no problem in this regard, which is equivalent to opening up the three major arteries of talents, resources and funds, ensuring that the company can be quickly built in the start-up stage.

It's easy to say, but the top-level design of the enterprise here is still very complicated, fortunately, Luo Sheng has Qin Weimu, and she can easily handle these things.

Luo Sheng has identified four major directions for Star Arrow International, namely aerospace technology research, space technology research, launch vehicle technology research and new materials research.

With the passage of time, Star Arrow International has completed the establishment of the company's articles of association and skeleton in just half a month, and the number of regular employees has reached 330, of which 300 are scientists or engineers, and Luo Sheng is the CEO.

Most of these employees are transferred from the Côte d'Azur Laboratory and Bluestar Technology, but this is far from enough, and it is necessary to recruit talents in the aerospace field from the outside world, and it is for the world.

"Shet ......"

At this time, Elon Musk, who was sitting at home, was a little unhappy when he saw the headline of the Washington Post article.

[In the past, the space competition was between countries, but we may have come to the edge of a private space race on an international scale in the 21st century. —The front page headline of the Washington Post.

The content report is the news of Luo Sheng's establishment of Star Arrow International, the company is referred to as "SAI", which is the first private space company in China.

What makes Musk very unhappy is that Luo Sheng is the prelude to competing with his Tesla and SpaceX at the same time this year, although the new energy car companies under the Cote d'Azur and the current Star Arrow International have just been established, but Elon Musk attaches great importance to it.

also includes the Star Arrow International that I know now.

First of all, we can determine a disadvantage is the disadvantage of funds, don't look at the registered capital of Star Arrow International is only about 200 million US dollars, but Musk knows very well that there is no boss in the world today who is richer than the current Luo Sheng.

The only thing that gives him an advantage is that his company has been around for almost a decade, and in the aerospace sector, North American and European companies currently dominate the market.

But Elon Musk doesn't dare to be careless at all, Luo Sheng is always a miracle person, and his entry also means to a large extent that the space industry on the other side of the Pacific is likely to emerge more and more innovative industry leaders in terms of diversification and specialization.

One of the challenges that the world's major carriers are likely to face in the future is the low-cost competition from Chinese companies.

After all, what Europeans and Americans hate most about Chinese people is that when they enter an industry, they can use their scale and supporting products to carry out super-large-scale mass production, and then make cabbage prices.

Really hate the appearance of this kind of competitor.

"Master, you have received an email from a professor at Qinghua University, hoping that you will invest in his scientific research projects, and some crazy ideas."

Luo Sheng had just finished the task at hand when Cortana's voice responded.

"Pull it up and see." Luo Sheng said, and immediately turned his head to look at the computer screen next to him, he didn't do anything, but the display panel automatically popped up the email content interface under Cortana's hosting.

"Carbon nanomaterials research?" Luo Sheng was quite curious when he saw it, so he continued reading.

The sender, Liu Jianwei, from Qinghua University, described in the email that he and his research team had made a major theoretical breakthrough in the field of super-strong carbon nanotube fibers, and said that there was a method for preparing ultra-long carbon nanotube bundles that were close to the powerful management theory of single carbon nanotubes.

But I didn't have the money to apply for a grant.

"Wow puppet...... Liu Jianwei? Lying on the roast ...... Sure enough, it was him!! When Luo Sheng saw the content described at the end of Liu Jianwei's email, his eyes lit up, and at the same time, his thoughts were pulled back to the memory of his previous life.

The image that comes to mind is gradually conjuring up a scene from Southeast Asia, to be precise, an island called Linjia County in the equatorial region of Indonesia.

This is an archipelago, one of the islands was contracted by Chinese enterprises, and at the same time attracted Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries and more than 50 domestic and foreign group companies to participate, led by the Huaguo Aerospace Science and Technology Group, where ground was broken to build a century of super projects, and it is also the most vast space project in the history of mankind, with an investment budget of 5 trillion yuan.

Luo Sheng still remembers that the project of the century was started in 2031, two years before his rebirth, and within two years, the island had built a 1,298-meter-high tower base, which became the world's tallest man-made structure at that time.

At the same time, in outer space, based on the transformation of the Tianzhou space station, it gradually rose from a low-altitude orbit to a geosynchronous orbit of 36,000 kilometers.

In the middle of the stage, a new space station was launched, and the spatial coordinate point was the equilibrium between gravity and centrifugal force in outer space.

The pedestal of the Tianta on the equator and the Tianzhou in outer space will be connected by a cable composed of a 36,000-kilometer cable of new carbon nanotube materials that can be stretched and qualified, thus creating the first space ladder in human history.

However, Luo Sheng did not see the day when the space ladder was completed, because it would be reborn in 2033, but he knew that the international space project led by Hua Guo at that time was expected to take 15 years and be completed in a three-step strategy.

The purpose of building the space ladder is to reduce the cost of space activities, because the economic cost of recyclable rockets is still prohibitive, and at the same time, mankind will still not have mastered the mastery of controlled fusion technology in 2033.

That's why there is an international project led by Huaguo, the "Sky Ladder" project.

Indonesia could not refuse, and at that time, Indonesia faced three strong competitors from South America: Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.

The four sites offered by the four candidate countries are Linjia County in Indonesia, Hama in Ecuador, Tumaco in Colombia and Santa Ana in Brazil.

After weighing all aspects, Huaguo chose Linjia County in Indonesia for the completion of the base of the ground sky tower.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the other three countries are in Latin America, which is the back garden of Lao Mei's family, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and his heart is very unsteady.

And Indonesia in Southeast Asia is on the doorstep.

At that time, when the bidding was made, the four countries were simply competing for the rhythm of bloodshed, because the economic benefits brought by it were simply immeasurable, you must know that the base of the sky tower on the ground is actually a spaceport to space, and all cargo transportation to and from the ground and space must pass through here, and the Strait of Malacca is next door.

Once the space ladder is successfully built, Indonesia's economic development will be able to take off.

The three-step strategy of the ladder is also very clear, the first step of the strategy is to build the base of the ground sky tower and the construction of the spaceport, which is also relatively the easiest; The second step is to complete the transformation of the Tianzhou space station; The third step is to send the second space station to the space station at the same time, and then use the towed space return capsule combined with satellite positioning and navigation from the space to gradually connect the cable with the ground sky tower.

At this point, the tower has basically succeeded.

It is worth mentioning that no matter how powerful the real technology is, it is an unrealistic fantasy to build a 36,000-kilometer Optimus Prime that leads directly to the Sky Dome universe, and it cannot be done with the strength of the country, and because the mass of the structure itself is incredible, and the center of gravity is unstable, it is easy to break and collapse, and it is quite material-intensive.

Therefore, Huaguo's "space ladder" project is to build a gravity-free space station fortress in space orbit, and then use a rope to hang down to the ground to connect with the base of the sky tower, so as to pull people or things into space.

To put it simply, there are three parts, the base of the sky tower on the ground, the rope, and the space station in orbit.

One of the most important parts is the research and development of ropes, and it is also the most difficult breakthrough research and development of new materials.

Because the cable connecting space and the ground is required to withstand the mutual pull of the gravitational force on the ground and the centrifugal force of space at the same time, and it can also ensure that even if the rope is cut in half when the rope is hit by missile bombardment, super storm on the ground, and is hit by an aircraft, the rope can still remain vertically tight and not sway.

This is something that only nanomaterials can do.

And the person who achieved the breakthrough of new materials is called Liu Jianwei!

It took him and his team more than 30 years to overcome the material problem, and the tensile capacity of the carbon nanotubes developed by him is enough to reach a terrifying 300GPa, far more than four times the tensile strength required for the space ladder, and also laid a key material foundation for the birth of the space ladder.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was browsing the email, suddenly began to surge in his heart, and muttered to himself: "More than 20 years later, this ladder will be led by my company, and Star Arrow International will take the lead. ”

But after a while, Luo Sheng ended his thinking and made a decision, and then wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Jianwei.

……

(PS: In reality, there is indeed a Tsinghua team that has produced carbon nanotubes of this strength, breaking the world record, but the length is only half a meter, and the team is also dreaming of the imagination of the space ladder, 36,000 kilometers and 0.5 meters, there is a long way to go, it can be said that before the controlled nuclear fusion is lit, the only thing that can make space activities popular is the space elevator, which we call the space ladder here.)

Do you think the protagonist will enter the space real estate in the future, this brain hole is swollen 2333~~)
