Chapter 195 - Hearing the Wind - International
In a very short period of time, the plan of the master company spread all over the world. At the same time, the official website was also updated, adding two sections.
One is the space base program, and the other is the space express business that is open to the whole world.
However, the space base plan clearly stated that all the tentative plans are only open to Chinese people. Although there are some complaints about the nationalism of the master company, but that's all. Without this technology, we can only watch others develop.
However, the space express business has attracted the attention of the world. Although the current K01 engine of the master company is still sold all over the world, it has even brought huge profits to the master company. However, after the vast majority of countries purchased it, it was used in the production of fighter jets, including space fighters, of course. But there is a problem with all of this, and that is that it is too expensive to meet the needs of the state, let alone open it to the public.
The affairs of the master company are like a whirlwind, hanging through the world!
Ordinary people are excited, and many people are pinching their fingers and calculating that in the foreseeable future, it will be possible for them to make a cheap space shuttle and travel to space. Now it seems that the development of the master company can already be described by the sentence: the garden can't be closed, and a red apricot comes out of the wall.
The aerospace age is, after all, a global era, and although China is huge, its resources are limited after all. If a master company wants to develop, especially at a high speed, it must rely on global resources. Whether it's talent, technology, capital, etc. After years of development, the local market in China has become saturated. The space express business opened to the world by the master company is enough to explain the development direction of the master company.
As for the master company that is about to start building a space base, the people of Huaxia expressed their expectations; People abroad expressed envy.
But when this gust of wind blew into the ears of the dignitaries of various countries, these people did not express excitement, but panic!
When my country was still using rockets, people had already used the mature space shuttle to develop the space express business. The gap here is the gap of an era! The master company is growing too fast.
Looking at the development in the past two years, my country is still using a large number of rockets and consuming a lot of resources, but Huaxia has used the help of master companies, and the slightly low-level space shuttle has entered the installation stage! Some time ago, Huaxia hired a master company to send nearly 40,000 tons of materials to space, and it was the first space base in synchronous orbit on the earth, which made the whole world feel nervous and depressed.
In fact, because of the massive use of disposable rockets, even the United States, which has deep pockets, now has a feeling of being out of breath. A lot of resources have been wasted, funds have been withdrawn, and now the United States is on the verge of another economic crisis. Especially in recent years, the fake gold incident has been repeatedly banned, and the international turmoil has intensified. Because the state consumes a lot of resources, it has to print money to save the market, which is completely an act of drinking water to quench thirst.
It's just that the current situation is different from the Cold War, when the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union competed, and although the competition between the two sides was fierce, as long as one side gave in, the other side could stop at any time.
But now it's different, this is an era of the rise of a nation, if you don't work hard, you will be surpassed. Today, countries are tightening their belts and developing space technology. In particular, some small land areas are under construction because of the establishment of space living bases. For example, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, etc.
Everyone firmly believes that the third world war will inevitably come in this era! All politicians also believe that after the Third World War, the failed countries will completely lose hope of re-emergence, or even - the country will be wiped out!
This is by no means alarmist, but well-documented. In the space age, once all the sky facilities are destroyed, it is easy to fall into passivity. After that, where can you hide? On the ground, can you evade the detection of space fighters? The high-strength electromagnetic rail cannon has the power to destroy the earth - hide underground, and it will still be destroyed.
Therefore, when they saw the development of the master company to the current situation, foreigners with insight finally began to fear, and politicians were even more panicked.
Restricting the development of master companies? Yes, it's a must! But how to limit it?
How to limit it? Everyone looked at each other! Only today did I find out that there were no powerful measures to restrict the master company! Without foreign support, the development of master companies is slower at most. As for persuading Huaxia to do it, don't even think about it - there are no fools these days! Not to mention, the master company is not a soft persimmon!
I thought about it, but I found that I couldn't do without a master company!
Even the once powerful United States and Russia need to buy 3-5 K01 engines from master companies every year to meet domestic demand. Even Germany, which is the world's precision manufacturing industry, cannot imitate the engine of a master company. All the qiē is firmly grasped by the master company.
It's not that no one has thought about suing the monopoly of master companies. But after thinking about it, forget it, if the master company gets angry and pulls your space station down from space, there is no place to cry.
It's really a good time, all the strategies don't need to be talked about, there are absolute fists that can be ignored by a qiē!
Besides, the so-called monopoly law is simply to bully the common people; Now which country in the world and which huge consortium is not taking the route of monopoly!
In fact, the price of the master's space express business is relatively low, at least much lower than the cost of launching the rocket by itself - the hidden cost can really break the bones. A large amount of social resources are being diverted, which will affect the lives of many people.
In particular, some medium-sized countries have ambitions and capabilities, but their ambitions are very large, but their capabilities are somewhat insufficient, and they can launch rockets, but they cannot build space bases. At this time, the space express business of the master company undoubtedly provides a first-class avenue for these countries!
The first person to contact the master company turned out to be North Korea! This country almost became a vassal state of China. Then there is South Korea. Don't look at the country's electronics industry, the shipbuilding industry is also powerful. However, on the road to aerospace, the country stumbled.
Immediately afterward, Pakistan, Iran, and even Arabia, a country that is rich in oil -- really oil, have also contacted expert companies.
With the global energy crisis, Arabia is getting richer, but it is also more dangerous, and the country's industrial base is weak, and even water pipes need to be imported.
Seeing the needs of so many countries, the master company had to say, okay, on July 10, you will send a plenipotentiary representative to the master company, and we will discuss the plan.
