12 o'clock Beijing time.

After the Xinghai was officially completed in orbit, the CTV reporter who went to the Xinghai Research Institute-Jinling Space Center for real-time tracking quickly transmitted the relevant news back to the headquarters.

After being confirmed by the general director, this exciting news was quickly passed on to the host of the news broadcast TV station through a small note.

After receiving the information on the note, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the hostess's face, and there was a hint of disbelief in her pupils.

However, her professionalism made her quickly adjust, and after taking a deep breath to calm down her emotions, she quickly said: "Good afternoon, audience, now a news message is temporarily inserted." ”

"At half past eight o'clock this morning, the space center located in Xiashu Town, Jinling, the space shuttle named Xinghai, carrying the latest electric propulsion system 'aerospace engine' developed by the Xinghai Research Institute, took off smoothly under the leadership of Academician Xu Chuan."

"At present, Xinghai has reached the low-earth orbit of outer space at a distance of 420 kilometers and is carrying out a series of space activities and experiments."

"This flight event is of great significance, and the electric propulsion system represented by the aerospace engine represents that China's aerospace industry will enter a new field."

The short report was completed quickly and smoothly in the mouths of CTV media reporters, but it set off quite a wave on the Internet.

After the CTV media reported the news, the mainstream media of major platforms quickly forwarded this amazing message and expressed their warm wishes for the great development of Xinghai and the motherland's aerospace industry.

On the neck, the relevant news quickly attracted the attention and discussion of netizens.

[Space Shuttle? The Star Ocean? Do I rub? When did our country also start building space shuttles, why was there no news at all before? And Jinling, when did you build a space center? 】

[Is this the point?] Is that the point? The focus is on electric propulsion! it! 】

[Electric propulsion to the sky? I haven't slept yet, and I get up? 】

[What happened to electric propulsion? Any questions? 】

[Okay! Electric propulsion to the sky, hiss~, I wonder if I have traveled to a hundred years later. 】

[At present, the world's most powerful electric propulsion is the X3 electric propulsion on the NASAN side of the United States, and its thrust is about 5.5N, in layman's terms, this thrust can probably send the ordinary eggs you eat into space. And a space shuttle weighs at least dozens of tons, and if you think about it, how awesome electric propulsion technology can send the space shuttle into the sky! 】

[Squint and smile, I heard a familiar name in the report!] 】

[Le, I heard it too, no wonder I haven't heard much from him for more than a year after the completion of the controlled nuclear fusion technology, so he was secretly holding back us! 】

[Don't say it, the god of Sichuan is awesome! 】

[Strong! When the youth is strong, the country is strong! Kudos to the Motherland! 】

Although the discussion on the Internet was enthusiastic, it did not stir up too many waves.

The main thing is that this is just a simple interlude, only a cursory introduction to the space shuttle and the electric propulsion system, and other details have not yet had time to play.

This kind of layered insertion is not very familiar with the truth for the vast majority of melon-eating viewers on the Internet, except for fans who focus on the aerospace field, most people don't know much about the meaning of this.

After all, Zhurong has even been to Mars, and it is not uncommon for a space shuttle to land in outer space.

Everyone is just surprised that the male god who has disappeared from the public eye for a long time will make another space shuttle and make a model electric propulsion technology.

Although it is awesome, before the specific parameter information comes out, everyone doesn't know how awesome it is, and the enthusiastic discussion will be over.

But this information is completely different for people in the professional field.

On the other side, the United States.

Inside a prefabricated prefabricated mobile home in Stabers, Texas.

The world-famous entrepreneur Elon Musk lives in such a foldable prefabricated building residence of less than 100,000 meters.

Coming back from humming a little song near the base of the private space company SpaceX SpaceX, Musk opened the door of his house, took out a can of iced Coke from the refrigerator, opened it, and after taking a big sip, he closed the refrigerator door, pinched the can of Coke and walked towards the living room.

Speaking of cola lovers in the rich circle, everyone's first reaction may be Warren Buffett, who claims to drink 5 cans of Coke a day, but in fact, Musk's love for this drink is not inferior to the former.

During the difficult years when Model 3 production capacity was ramping up, Musk had to drink 8 cans of Coke every day. The large amount of caffeine intake even caused him to lose peripheral vision for a while.

Despite this, he still did not give up his love for Coke.

Picking up the remote control from the sofa, Musk turned on the TV and watched the CBS news broadcast in the United States.

As the earliest evening news program in the whole country, CBS News has an important position in the TV news industry in the United States, and many important political reports, international conversations, world development, scientific and technological breakthroughs and other fields will be broadcast on it.

Although he usually knows the information about the news program in advance, sometimes he can also get some areas that he has not noticed through CBS, as well as some of the glory that belongs to him.

For example, today's evening report.

After waiting for a while, after some news reports in the political field had passed, the beautiful host of CBS Media spoke up right after.

"The Artemis program, led by NASA, has completed the initial preparations for the first phase. The BFR super rocket, provided by Space-X, was officially unveiled at the Kennedy Space Center. ”

Accompanied by the broadcast hosted by the beautiful woman, the picture of the news broadcast jumped, and in the base of the Kennedy Space Center, the BFR super rocket provided by Space-X appeared in the eyes of the audience in front of the TV station.

It is a super-giant launch vehicle with a height of 77.5 meters and a diameter of 12 meters. With liquid oxygen and methane as the main propellants, it is equipped with 42 Raptor engines, and its starting speed will be several times that of the current Falcon series rockets.

More critically, the BFR super launch vehicle will not only have a re-recovery function, but will also be more powerful than the Falcon 9, which can reach 1,000 reuses.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the BFR officially unveiled on the news broadcast, Musk had a smile on his face, and the Coke can in his hand was lifted in the direction of the TV, and he poured another iced Coke.

Although this is not the first time that BFR has appeared on television, there is no doubt that the release of BFR at NASA will lead to the development of Space Exploration Technology Corporation more than ever.

With NASA, the most powerful space agency on the planet, as the BFR platform, he can imagine how fierce the Wall Street response will be tomorrow after today's news broadcast.

The rising exponents and curves meant that Franklin was about to fly into his arms.

Although making money is not the only meaning of his life, there is no doubt that the feeling of being able to see his future is more fascinating to him than the Coke in his hand.

For him, the BFR super launch vehicle carries not only his dreams of going to the moon and Mars, but also the cornerstone of these dreams - 'money'!

A piece of news about the BFR super launch vehicle made the corners of Musk's mouth involuntarily raised.

When his glory passed and CBS began to broadcast other news, Musk also picked up the remote control next to him, ready to switch channels to see his favorite extreme sports.

Just as they were switching channels, another person suddenly appeared in the CBS news broadcast. To be precise, it was a hand that handed a note to the hostess who was broadcasting the show.

Seeing this scene, Musk was stunned for a moment, and the finger that had been pressed quickly pulled back, jumped to the extreme sports channel, and the picture returned to the CBS news channel again.

He was well aware that the act of passing notes in news reports on an ad hoc basis was an unexpected contingency, and one of such a major event that there was hardly any time for preparation to be missed.

During the news broadcast, the hostess sitting upright in front of the broadcast station took the note from the staff next to her and quickly skimmed it.

After seeing the information on the note, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on the hostess's face, and there was a hint of disbelief in her pupils.

However, her professionalism made her quickly adjust, and after taking a deep breath to calm down her emotions, she quickly said: "Good evening, audience, a news message is now temporarily inserted." ”

"Today's major news, at 18 o'clock in the afternoon of Texas time, that is, two hours ago, at the space center in Jinling City, Huaguo, a space shuttle named 'Xinghai' was successfully launched."

"According to the information provided by relevant sources, the Xinghai is equipped with an electric propulsion system called 'Aerospace Engine' provided by the Xinghai Research Institute, and the accuracy of the information is being tracked and investigated, so please look forward to the follow-up news."

“.”

Looking at the report on the TV station, Musk, who was sitting on the sofa, was directly stunned, the Coke in his hand fell off the palm of his hand and fell on the sofa, and the poured soda poured out poured through the entire sofa cushion, and he didn't react.

The Star Ocean?

Electric propulsion?

Heaven?

Stunned to watch the news broadcast on TV, Musk was stunned on the sofa.

WTF？ Is there something wrong?

Electric propulsion into the sky, how is this possible?!

PS: Today's second update, ask for a monthly pass.
