Syllable~

As the launch button was pressed by Luo Jia, the crimson flame ignited, and then surged, and finally turned into a terrifying sound like the roar of a giant beast, pushing the Xingchen Heavy Rocket into the sky, constantly accelerating, breaking through the clouds and piercing into the deep and dark starry sky.

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

This is a moment that will forever be recorded in history, the sixth year of the establishment of Xingchen Technology, on September 14, the space program officially began, and the peak showdown between China and the United States for space hegemony finally kicked off on this day.

"Hooray!"

"Xingchen Technology is awesome!"

"The super-large geosynchronous orbit space station, the first human space permanent residence project in history, all this is incredible! It's like a dream! ”

"Maybe in our lifetime, we'll have the opportunity to travel to space and even buy a tiny house in a geostation!"

The emotions of Chinese netizens were completely ignited by the rocket that was successfully launched, because Xingchen Heavy Load is not a simple rocket, but the first step of the super-large geosynchronous space station program, which is like the establishment of the Empire State Building, the moment when the foundation is broken and the building is capped, it is always the most exciting.

Although the specific plan of the space station is still kept secret, it is not difficult to judge from the words revealed by Luo Jia in his column that it is a large space building with many cabins, and there will be relatively less expensive space travel projects in the future to satisfy people's desire for curiosity.

Anyway, in general, North America plans to engage in satellite networking in space, while Huaxia plans to build a space station in synchronous orbit, and both major projects have created history.

For a long time, the Chinese people have accumulated great confidence in Xingchen Technology, no matter what Xingchen Technology does, even if it is a nonsensical project, the people will fully support it.

So when the Xingchen rocket lifted off and released the first basic module of the synchronous orbit space station, and the first and second stages of the rocket were successfully recovered, the whole of China was boiling, people took to the streets, hugged each other to celebrate, and the major media also launched relevant special reports.

Station B and other media affiliated to Xingchen Technology have launched a popular science series to help you solve your doubts in an all-round way, why the space station is built, as well as the purpose and structure of the space station.

Of course, Luo Jia will not tell everyone that his real plan is to build a space elevator, and the whole world thinks that the space station is a space experiment base and the mother station of the future solar system colonization program.

The Observer Network launches the history of the development of China's aerospace science and technology, reviews the past from a historical perspective, looks forward to the future, and introduces many unknown scientists who have left a strong mark in history for students to know.

CCTV reported from a strategic height, compared the European Space Agency, the Russian Space Agency, NASA in North America, and China horizontally, and came to the humble conclusion that the revival has not yet succeeded and that comrades still need to work hard.

Different from the anticipation and excitement on the Chinese side, the Western world is generally in a state of envy, jealousy and hatred, especially European netizens, who have always felt that they are the orthodoxy of the West, the origin of the Renaissance, but now they have to face the fact that they are declining.

Europeans think that the world is dominated by the three great powers of China, the United States and Europe, and the Russians feel that it is the four hegemons of China, the United States, Europe and Russia, but in fact, the real contest only belongs to China and the United States, and Europe has gradually been marginalized.

"Cut, the space station is not an immigrant to Mars, what's the big deal?"

"That's it, those Chinese people don't know anything but to speculate on houses, and our housing prices in Australia are fried by those yellow-skinned monkeys, which annoys them to death, and now it's good, they still have to go to the synchronous track to build a house."

"I heard that Huaxia is a country of foodies, and they built a large space station, shouldn't it be to cultivate new vegetables and fruits in space, and then eat them?"

"Hahahaha, I'm going to be laughed to death by the barrage in front of me, spending trillions of dollars to go to space to cultivate vegetables and engage in real estate, and that's what the Chinese people are all about."

"The real space program depends on us in North America, do you know what it means once Starlink is connected to the grid?"

"I really don't know this, I'd like to hear about it."

"Quite simply, it means a global telecommunications network that is not controlled by the authorities of various countries! It means that there is no blind spot monitoring in the world! Even if it's a mosquito on the Great Wall of China, don't try to escape the eyes of our North America, do you say it's terrible? ”

"I'll go! Starlink is terrifying! ”

"So far, there is only one world with an output value of more than ten trillion US dollars, that is, the automobile manufacturing industry, automobiles and related parts, insurance, consumer services, creating the world's largest industrial chain, and the telecommunications industry and Internet infrastructure plus value-added services, the future may be on par with the automotive industry, the ultimate goal of Starlink is to make Huaxia Mobile, Huaxia Unicom, Vodafone Europe, such basic telecom operators, all bankrupt!"

"Awesome America!"

"Long live North American telecommunications domination of the world!"

"What you are talking about is the long-term goal of the Starlink plan, and at present, Starlink cannot replace the Internet."

"What's wrong with the long-term goals? If you have the ability, in a few decades, you Huaxia people will not try it with the star network we built. ”

Musk deserves to have a unique personal charm, under his publicity, today's North American melon-eating people have a sense of superiority, and it is also a super-large space program, but the North American melon-eating people feel that the Starlink program is far more powerful than the space station plan.

After all, the benefits of the interstellar Internet are obvious, it can monitor the world at the same time, and replace the original telecommunication networks of various countries, according to international law, space above the height of 85 kilometers, that is, it belongs to outer space, which is shared by all mankind, and no country can claim sovereignty.

In other words, North America's spy satellite is floating 100 kilometers above our heads, and we have nothing to do with it, because the spy satellite has not violated China's sovereignty, and of course, if China's spy satellite is also floating 100 kilometers above Washington's head, North America will have nothing to do with us.

It is not difficult to see from this that the so-called space sovereignty within the scope of international law is in fact a naked predator of the jungle, and anyone can shoot satellites into the sky, depending on who shoots steadily and accurately, and who shoots more and more, so much so that the orbit is occupied in advance, so that those who come after have no way out, and whoever is behind is the boss.

……

Cape Canaveral, Florida, North America.

The giant screen in the office plays repeatedly, the whole process of the Xingchen heavy load rocket lifting off and recovery, in addition to the third stage thruster, the first and second stage thrusters can be recovered, and they are also the most expensive part of a rocket.

Generally speaking, the cost can be reduced by 50% if the first thruster can be recovered, and the cost can be reduced by 70 to 80% if the second thruster is recovered.

So when most of the Star rockets fell back from the sky and were firmly parked on the metal launch platform, Musk and NASA experts at Cape Canaveral realized that the world's lowest-cost launch vehicle had finally been born.

Although the specific cost is still a mystery, industry experts have speculated that the launch cost of the Star Heavy Carrier rocket is likely to be less than five million US dollars.

According to this price, Xingchen Technology can completely use the rocket as a drill monkey! After all, the cost is too low, and they have a lot of money and can afford to play!

This is the epoch-making significance of this launch, Xingchen Technology has turned the expensive space mission into the price of cabbage, and this is also the practice of China, once any industry is mastered by Huaxia, the huge profits will end in minutes, low-cost Huaxia manufacturing, sweeping all foreign opponents.

"It's over, don't look any further."

Musk instructed the secretary to end the playback, and soon the screen went off and the lights came back on in the conference room.

Musk frowned, he never understood one thing, Xingchen Technology has the cheapest rocket launch cost in the world, why is it obsessed with building a space station?

Why is Xingchen Technology not like itself, but also engaged in a Starlink network plan, relying on the Starlink network in the future, it can make a lot of profits, and the giant space station, I'm afraid not only can't make a profit, but also burn a lot of valuable funds, right?

No matter from which point of view, building a space station is not like a normal business behavior, but to say that spending tens of billions is just to show off his muscles, and it is not like Luo Jia's style of acting.

In short, Musk is very confused in his heart, it's like when you are playing chess, you encounter a wild way to play cards that do not follow common sense, you don't understand him, he can always win you, and it's very depressing to think about.

Is it because of quantum technology?

Musk muttered that quantum is the pre-technology of the Starlink network, and only by solving the problem of quantum communication can the Starlink network have enough bandwidth, as for the processing power, Xingchen Technology has the world's fastest chip system, and for them, the chip is not a problem.

Soon, Musk denied his idea, because in the field of quantum communication, Huaxia is ahead of the world, as early as August 2016, Huaxia launched the Micius quantum satellite, so for Xingchen Technology, quantum communication technology should not be a problem.

Musk scratched his scalp, let him rack his brains, and couldn't think of Xingchen Technology actually building a space elevator, that kind of whimsical thing, so he decided not to, stood up, looked at the huge launch site outside the window, and the corners of his mouth gently raised a curvature.

Ordinary people don't understand that quantum communication and quantum computing, although they are both based on quantum technology, the gap between them is like a world of difference, and the importance of quantum computing for the future is far greater than quantum communication.

Not long ago, Musk got the news that Google's quantum computing project is about to make a major breakthrough, and the Google Group, which was bullied by Xingchen Technology, has always held its breath and hated Luo Jia and Xingchen Technology, and has been crazy about R&D, operating systems and search engine losses, they plan to get it back through quantum computing, vowing to avenge the original arrow.

"Not only can you not get the hegemony of space, once the Google Group announces the success of quantum computing, you can't even keep the hegemony of semiconductors, Luo Jia, Luo Jia, the contest between major powers is by no means as simple as you imagined, this world is complicated." Before Musk left the office, he muttered to himself.

"It's all ready!"

"Here, please, the reporters are waiting for you."

"Those Huaxia people would never have imagined that just a few hours after the successful launch of the Star Heavy Load, we would launch the Super Falcon! And we're twin-haired! Launch two rockets at once! ”

Musk's secretary led the way in front, and he handed over the speech that had been prepared, and said excitedly.
