Chapter 45

Knowing that the Arbor Space Agency was going to reach a $10 billion space cooperation with China, NACA broke the defense, and the Lucia Space Agency also broke the defense.

Abel has always been known to be a big super dog, and the wool on his body is like a hormone-boosted leek: stubble after stubble.

The launch part of the ISS International Space Station is in charge of Aramco and Lucia, and it will be opened to countries other than China one after another.

Naturally, Abel was also among them, and paid a lot of money to send the astronauts to Lucia for training, and then went to the ISS space station to sneak around.

There is no scientific research purpose, and Abel himself knows that he has no fate.

But big dogs also have to be pursued, anyway, 300 kilometers above the ground there are Abel people floating is still a very ambitious thing.

However, contrary to expectations, the ISS represented the official beginning of the cooperation of 16 countries since 1998, when the Aurora multi-purpose cargo module was launched into space as the first component.

And then there are a lot of countries joining, bringing with them a lot of scientific research projects, and people need to travel frequently.

And with the passage of time, the early modules of the ISS began to age and leak, and gradually could not undertake scientific research tasks or even help people, and only remained as a structural component of the space station.

Maintaining the space station, conducting scientific research, launching and docking missions are already troublesome in multinational coordination, and it is not welcome for Abel to send astronauts who do not have outstanding professional skills.

It can be said that when you are wronged, you have to look at your face when you pay money, so Abel also began to feel that it was boring to be self-deprecating.

So Lin Ju hooked his hand and stuffed handfuls of dollars one after another.

Of course, the specific reason is also because Xinyuan's offer is really cheap, which makes Abel feel that he can't lose much if he fails.

Although Lin Ju had already stated various restrictions in the contract in advance: for example, the space shuttle could only be in Abel during the mission period, and it needed to be strictly guarded, and it would be transported back to Xinyuan for maintenance during the non-mission period;

Several space station modules do not have any serious scientific research functions, they are basically a space room, which can give a quotation of 500 million US dollars for the launch, otherwise the scientific research equipment alone may be more than 500 million, you must know that the module designed by Xinyuan for them even has an independent bedroom and bathroom, which country dares to waste the precious space of the spacecraft so much;

Even Arbor University has restrictions on launching satellites at discounts, limited weight, and so on.

But it is precisely because of this that the crown prince and the old king feel that this is really a business, and not to play with Abel as a Kaizi.

So when Alett looked at NACA and Lucia Space Agency, they were cold and even ignored.

NACA, who has eaten a closed door, is incompetent and furious, if only Xinyuan then they can make some small moves, but with the Huaguo Space Agency in person, they can only have no choice but to give up.

The final result was that a former NACA official declared that private space is high-risk and the technology is not reliable enough, and he hopes that the relevant partners will keep their eyes open, do not be fooled, and leave the professional affairs to the veteran space agency Yunyun in charge.

But that's all, NACA is really busy, the ISS space station, Mars, Jupiter's deep space exploration, the Artemis program to return to the moon, etc., really can't spare the energy to care about Abel.

However, it is really uncomfortable to lose a spare tire for no reason.

However, the old horse was very excited and sent more than a dozen pushes in a row.

Lin Ju has reached $10 billion in wool, and his empty fork has not been able to get such a big business for so many years.

And he also has rockets, Falcon 9 and Heavy Falcon are stronger than Xinyuan's active rockets, why didn't anyone throw 10 billion at him?

Regardless of the attitude of investors and the board of directors, Lao Ma directly tweeted:

SpecaX congratulated XAP on the results of the collaboration and called it a great step forward in private spaceflight.

Then he said: My Ma Yilong is no worse than Lin Ju, and the empty fork is more than Xinyuan Tractor Factory (after learning about Lin Ju's family history on the Internet, he uses the tractor factory and tractor factory to refer to Xinyuan Aerospace) There are too many cows, and we can do what he can do.

Although SpecaX does not have a space shuttle, it does have a starship, what is it to go to space, a starship can land on the moon and Mars!

The space station is also, what is the difficulty of the Dragon spacecraft can be designed to build a space station, the empty fork can not only build a space station, but also a space hotel, and you can use a cabin as a restaurant.

The empty fork can also build a launch base outside the Aramco mainland, and unlike the new far buckle swishing and restricting the use, you can put it wherever you like, and you can sell everything if you give money!

Lao Ma is also really anxious, Xinyuan is making progress at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it seems that he is going to catch up, and he has received such a large amount of financial support.

Even if $8 billion is still less than what the plan needs, Lao Ma thinks directly in the American way of thinking, but he feels that it is normal.

What if a project budget is too high and may not be approved?

A: Streamline the project structure, carefully analyze the market, and reduce costs while meeting requirements as much as possible before submitting it for review.

B: Directly quote the budget at an ultra-low price to make the project pass, and continue to let the investor add it in the later stage, and the project will be unfinished without addition, so that the total budget far exceeds expectations.

Obviously, Lao Ma decided at a glance that Lin Ju had also learned the characteristic plan B of local entrepreneurs when he was studying abroad at Aramco.

So the next day, Lin Ju saw the "$9.9 billion special package to realize your dream of becoming a space power" released by the empty fork, including "Future Spacecraft Base", "Heavy Falcon + Dragon Spacecraft (can carry 6 people for reuse)", "Super Large Fifth-generation Space Station", "$5 Satellite Launch Voucher" and a series of projects, all of which will be arranged within three years.

Don't say it, Lao Ma's PPT and simulation animation can really be called world-class, NACA and Xinyuan can't catch up with the horse at all, and they are extremely excited just by looking at the promotional materials.

If you really only spend $9.9 billion to buy these packages launched by the empty fork, it is really good on face, and it is not much worse than the new.

But it really only needs 9.9 billion US dollars, can it really be done within three years as Lao Ma said?

Lin Ju strongly doubted this.

"Hey, Allah is above, my dear brother Lin, why are you here alone?"

Crown Prince Hamand carried a can of Tsingtao beer, walked up to Lin Ju and drank half of it, and then sneakily observed that no one was looking at him before relieving his heart.

"Your Royal Highness, SpecaX has just released new news, and they will also sell spacecraft and space stations to the outside world."

Lin Ju concealed that because a tripartite cooperation agreement had been signed before the party began, $4.75 billion had been lying in a special account set up for the outside world, and he regretted not returning the money.

Prince Hamand looked at the contents of his phone and nodded slightly:

"It looks very good, although it is not as good as the space shuttle, but if it was before, we might have been really excited, and there was a lot of content in it.

But don't worry, Lin, I'm studying with Deng seriously, I have a pilot's license, and I will personally fly the space shuttle to land in Arbor in the future, and there will be countless girls cheering for me! ”
