Chapter 586: Rivals
“…… Thank you, thank you to all the guests who came to the scene, and the audience who watched the ribbon-cutting ceremony of our new Tiangong space station in front of computers, TVs, and mobile phones. ”
"The official use of the new Tiangong space station represents that our earthlings have opened a new chapter in exploring the starry sky, from a cause that only a few scientists and astronauts can participate in, to a cause that all mankind can participate in."
"Because the previous International Space Station was unfortunately "retired", so this burden is on our Arc Group, as an emerging space group, although the ability is limited, but we are also very happy to do something for mankind. ”
"Haha, okay, that's all I have to say, the rest of the time will be handed over to our General Manager Sun......"
Watching Dong Chen giggle happily on TV, the people of the United States who were watching the live broadcast at this time were not very happy, especially these people in the conference room of the United States Space Agency.
Although Dong Chen is very handsome, his bald head is shiny, and he also uses the word "retirement" in his words, it is still "regretful retirement", but the expression on his face can be seen clearly, and he doesn't feel regretful at all.
Also, you laugh at the end with a hammer.
If you change people, you will change people, laughing fart!
Is it true that people can't hear your gloating tone?
At this time, sitting at the main seat of the conference table, the rarely seen director of the United States Space Agency, Valk, motioned to his assistant to turn off the video, and then he knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing to see now, let's talk about the new space station." ”
The others were not happy to see the director, and they didn't talk about the new Tiangong space station below, but they remembered that this live video was let by the director to watch it, and now they asked it to be turned off.
That's really ...... As a director, he can do whatever he wants.
In fact, Valker didn't expect Dong Chen, as the chairman of such a large group, to be so immature, and as a public figure, he would talk like this, isn't it obvious that he has to leave a flaw and be attacked.
As an old fritter who is mixed up in officialdom, he will definitely not do this, so he can't stand it after seeing this, even if he was the one who let him watch the live broadcast at the beginning.
He actually wanted to know the latest developments of the Arc Group and the Xintiangong space station, after all, their new International Space Station is about to start construction, and the Xintiangong space station is the only space station in space now, so their new International Space Station will inevitably be compared.
However, their space station has a late-mover advantage, that is, it is larger than the new Tiangong space station, although it may be built later, but as long as it is large, and their technology is not much behind, at least the rotating simulation gravity system that is standard with large space stations is there.
As a result, he actually saw this on a whim.
Due to the particularity of his work and personal reasons, he knows Dong Chen, but it is absolutely impossible for them to cooperate with the Arc Group, so they only know.
And this time, he was shocked by the chairman of this immature super group.
It seems that the Arc Group has been able to develop to this point, and it is right to say that this Dong Chen is a super genius, but Sun Hao, as the general manager of the group, is the biggest hero.
Valk looked at a form in front of him and asked Victor on his left, "Victor, your joint technical department should be completely fine, right?" Are the technicians that ESA, Japan, Canada, and football countries are in place? ”
"Director, it's basically all here," Victor said through the materials in front of him, "only the Japanese have two technical engineers who have not yet arrived, and the reply from the Japanese side is that they still have a research that has not been completed, and it may take a while to come." ”
"Then urge again, the date said is the day after tomorrow, and there are still people who have not arrived, and the technical problems they are responsible for have not been solved." Valk frowned and looked at the information in front of him, then turned to Victor and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
Seeing that Valker was a little unhappy, Victor hurriedly said, "It's a joint research on new materials between Japan and China, and it's about space materials, and the reason why we are looking for them is because of this, but I didn't expect them to conduct cooperative research with China." ”
"But now those two engineers are in China, and the research of this project is about to succeed, if Japan withdraws halfway at this time, they will not be able to get the technical data."
"And this data is also very important for our project this time, so the Japanese side postponed it, and we agreed."
Valker frowned again when he heard this, because he heard a word that he didn't like very much, Huaguo.
He doesn't have a good impression of that Huaguo at all, but the development of Huaguo has been too fast in recent years, and there is a tendency to catch up with and surpass them in all aspects, and now their major projects are inseparable from Huaguo's indirect support, which makes him very uncomfortable.
But now, there is really no way, they need that new material, so they have to endure the discomfort.
He flipped through the materials in front of him to the part of Japan, found the list of technicians to come, and saw the list of the two technicians and the projects they were responsible for, and when they would use those materials.
"In addition to these two technical engineers on the Japanese side, are there any other engineers who have not arrived?" Valker asked with a grim face.
"No, except they've all arrived," Victor said.
"That's good, then your technical department will start first, don't waste time, the materials can be in a hurry first, and the other aspects can be done first." Valk said, knocking on the table.
"Yes, Director," Victor replied with a nod.
After confirming the technical problem, Valker asked about the funding, because it is a multinational cooperation, so this time the funding is also from many countries, but the proportion of funding is different.
Asked about this one by one, Valker's face was quite unsightly, compared to the previous cooperation on the International Space Station, this cooperation was indeed a bit hasty, resulting in many things not being able to keep up.
There are too many countries to cooperate, and it is very difficult to coordinate in a short period of time, and it is also a pity that science and technology are now more developed, and many steps can be omitted, otherwise it is impossible to operate.
There were also staff from other partner countries in the conference room, and Valker also consulted with them, but the results of the consultation were ...... He didn't make him very happy.
