Chapter 155: Space competition intensifies
The conflict between the master company and the state, with the efforts of many parties, the news was completely blocked, and there was not a trace of news outside. Immediately afterwards, it was rumored that the master company would send 30,000 tons of space materials to the country at a price of 20,000 yuan per kilogram, with a total value of 600 billion Chinese yuan. In the next week, 1,000 tons will be sent to do solid yàn.
The information of the master company has completely stimulated the world.
Originally, the master company took off by itself, but now it promises to provide real space express business for Huaxia, and finally completely touches the bottom line of various countries in the world.
There are only interests between countries, and there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality; Seeing that the status of their own countries is threatened, the countries of Europe and the United States finally cannot sit still.
On the one hand, it is urgent to step up its own space research and development, and on the other hand, dark thoughts inevitably appear!
How to stop the strong rise of master companies? It's too easy, assassination! As long as the assassination is done, I'll see what else you can do! After all, this is just a company, how can it be compared with the power of the state. Therefore, European and American countries believe that as long as they can mobilize the elite of their countries, they can complete such actions without realizing it.
Just drive the submarine to the vicinity of the ocean of the master company, and one missile will solve it! This is modern society, not the kind of ancient assassination, which is directly destroyed!
Maybe the space technology of the master company is very powerful, but I don't believe that you still have the ability to protect in the ocean!
Of course, it is impossible for the United States to take such an action on its own, but don't forget that the United States now has several junior brothers in Asia, the most murderous of which is Japan; And the most obedient little brother: the Philippines.
Quietly, on January 13, 2047, Japan's most advanced AIP conventionally powered submarine set off, lurking at a depth of 500 meters from the beginning. In fact, even without the instigation of the United States, Japan is a little worried, because it is close to a big country like China, and now it is even more powerful, which has already made the Japanese side breathless, and the pressure is too heavy. Perhaps, a strategy of Huaxia can make Japan's economy stagnate or even regress, but in fact, in recent years, Huaxia has had a lot of such strategies, so that the Japanese side can only withdraw a large amount of capital from the Chinese market and invest in emerging markets such as India, Southeast Asia, and South America.
Japan's small and dangerous territory has forced them to take risks again and again, wanting to occupy the mainland, and in the advanced years, earthquakes have become more and more frequent on the Japanese side, and the remarks of Japan's land sinking have been frantically clamoring throughout Japan, and the right-wingers have been extremely inflated, so that recently Japan's leadership has begun to become more and more tough. The tone has now been basically set on the Japanese side: the advanced territory is already very dangerous, so it is necessary to find a new base for survival. And the first point has also been implemented by successive dynasties, that is, to invade and occupy the mainland! The second point is to spend a lot of money to buy a place to live in Africa or South America. As for Australia, there is really not much precipitation in that place, and it is a very sad continent.
On the other hand, in response to China's actions, the United States once again launched hundreds of rockets, and the scene was crowded with people, and the Americans frantically shouted: The United States is still the number one power in the world, even in the sky.
Subsequently, Russia launched 10 of its own proton series rockets, the new generation of proton rockets up to more than 150 meters high, 12 meters in diameter, from a distance like ten pillars of heaven, each rocket weighs 3,800 tons, the load is 200 tons.
The smoke is said to have caused the local population to feel the shaking of the earth, and the powerful rocket engines have been able to react on the earth itself and cause certain effects. It's just that in today's environment, no one cares, as long as the earth is not destroyed, it is enough.
The second-echelon space powers, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, etc., are also not far behind, and Brazil, a country with a strong enough population and area, also launched 120 rockets at one time and sent 4,000 tons of materials to space to establish its own space base. With sufficient resources and a relatively peaceful geographical environment, Brazil has risen to become one of the world's great powers.
A large number of rockets were launched, so that the prices of dozens of chemicals in the world rose sharply, but Huaxia also took the opportunity to make a windfall, and a large amount of fuel that it did not need was directly packaged and sold to those pro-China countries; As for saying that it is not pro-China, then it is embarrassing, if you have money, you will not sell it! This is the space age, where competition has become more and more fierce, and the meaning and value of money are also changing dramatically.
With the depreciation of the currency itself, as well as the increase in resources in the space age, all the countries of the world are thinking, a new currency under the new form; Obviously, if nothing else, the depreciation alone has brought the current currency to the brink of collapse; And the fake gold incident that ravaged the world some time ago has pushed this shape further to the cliff; The success of the company's mass aerospace also indicates that mankind is about to usher in the era of space resources! With infinite space as a backdrop, perhaps gold is just an ordinary metal.
On the afternoon of the 13th, after 24 hours of inspection and adjustment, the master company sent a total of 12 pilots and two Dream space shuttles to Beiping, ready to send a large number of supplies to space.
All the supplies have been packed, all sealed in streamlined rocket-like cabins, each 70 tons, just enough to fit on the back of the Dream aircraft, and basically does not affect the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft.
According to the plan, there will be three takeoffs a day, one pilot at a time; And the substitution of the second day continues, the machine does not rest, but the person has to rest. This time, the master company also took the opportunity to check to see if the aircraft could withstand high-intensity exercise; And when the two planes flew to Peking itself, they already carried enough spare parts. In addition, there is also an inspection team jointly set up by a master company and the state on the ground, and each phase of the aircraft takes off and lands and undergoes strict inspection.
The competition in the space age was already fierce enough, and now, the Chinese side has pushed this fierceness to the peak. When a large number of rockets were launched in other countries, Huaxia hired a master company to send all the materials to space with relatively cheap materials about ten times cheaper. And the synchronous orbit space base under construction in Huaxia has aroused the attention and tension of the whole world!
This is the world's first space base in synchronous orbit. In fact, from a technical point of view, those who can build a space base in low-earth orbit basically have the ability to establish a space base in a synchronous orbit, and under the current technical conditions, the technology between the two is not so difficult. But a question of cost, stuck in everyone's minds.
In fact, the average annual cost in the world, the cost of geostationary orbit is about 2.5 times that of low-earth orbit. In addition to this, the maintenance cost, etc., is higher and more dangerous. In the final analysis, space technology is still in its infancy.
It's just that with the news announced by Huaxia, the world instantly seemed to have turned into a powder keg, and a large number of rockets began to be launched regardless of the cost.
