Chapter 294 The Little Brothers in Laos and the Thousand-Ton Giant Rocket!
Whoosh~
A flight from Fusang ANA landed in Vientiane, the capital of Laos in the evening.
Inoue Mitsuhiko and Ota Shigeru walked out of the airport and looked at the strange and hot land, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
As we all know, Kakagi started out with materials science, while Inoue Mitsuhiko and Ota Shigeru, both of whom worked in the famous materials science group in Japan, were severely suppressed.
Mitsubishi Chemical really couldn't hold on and declared bankruptcy and disbanded at the beginning of this year.
After all, it is a world-renowned super chaebol. Even without Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Bank, it has little impact on the entire Mitsubishi Co., Ltd., but it has only made young people like Mitsuhiko Inoue, who have been in office for only a few years and have been unemployed.
After receiving a resignation fee, Mitsuhiko Inoue was sad and left the company silently.
It just so happened that Mitsui Chemical, where Shigeru Ota, was also laying off employees to survive. Shigeru Ota was in a bad mood and had a bad relationship with the minister, so he was included in the list of dismissals.
So, the two brothers in distress hugged their heads and cried bitterly in the izakaya.
This is not a solution. The two of them concluded that they first learned materials chemistry. Now nearly half of Neon's materials chemistry talents are unemployed and it is difficult to find a job. It is better to bring their resignation money to Laos to develop.
The reason I came to Laos is not because they like it, but because Laos has a good economic situation recently and there are many opportunities for development.
Laos is one of the allies of China. Many technological products that cannot be bought even if they spend money in Japan are very common in Laos. Inoue and others set off from the airport and deliberately spent an extra amount of money to take a flying car.
Taxi drivers driving flying cars are used to local buns from all over the world, and visas to China are becoming increasingly difficult to get, so many Westerners settle for the second best, go to Laos or Khmer to experience the latest technology in China.
"Neon doesn't have this kind of flying car, right?" the driver asked proudly.
Inoue frowned, "No, but we have Toyota and Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, and they are all famous big companies all over the world."
The driver smiled and shrugged indifferently and said, "Whatever you want, as long as you are happy."
What the hell!
The driver's attitude made Inoue Mitsuhiko burst out directly.
It’s not invented by taxi drivers. The first person to say this was Gaoyuan. He often expressed his attitude towards the West on live broadcasts. Then this argument was like a virus, which spread the entire China.
Inoue Mitsuhiko clearly remembered that once a foreign media reporter asked the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about some things about the broken island, the spokesperson said impatiently, "The island is there anyway, and I won't run away from it on my own. As for the people on the island, just do whatever you want, as long as they are happy."
This is actually the spokesperson's words, isn't it too serious?
Anyway, things are so far ahead, similar arguments are everywhere in China, like this, I am like this, you like to see it or not.
It would be fine for the Chinese tone. Now even a taxi driver in Laos speaks in this tone. Inoue Mitsuhiko couldn't help but get angry. If it weren't for the mature and persistent Datian Shigeru being pulled by the side, he would have got angry long ago.
The taxi driver said, "Times have changed. In the past, we did have many Toyota and Honda here, but now it is the world of BYD and Changan."
Inoue and Ota suddenly felt sad, but they had to admit that China's new energy system was powerful.
The flying taxi was extremely fast and arrived at the destination in a blink of an eye.
"Why is it cash? Don't you have Alipay?" asked the driver, looking for a wallet with a contempt look on his face. "It's troublesome to find change. It's so convenient to pay with your mobile phone. You neon people are really not enlightened."
Shigeru Ota looked dark. He was a careful person. He had checked the information before leaving and knew that Laos liked to use Thai baht and Chinese Yuan because of their proximity to Thailand and China. As for the country's currency, Kip, due to its unstable currency, it was not popular among the people.
So Shigeru Ota specially exchanged Thai baht and Huaxia Yuan at Mitsui Bank. However, the world is changing so quickly. Online news has long been outdated. Now mobile payment is more popular in Laos.
After getting off the flying taxi, I looked around and saw that the streets were full of Chinese.
The hotel booked by Oita and Inoue was hung with Chinese plaques, bars on the Mekong River, and the store used Chinese menus to receive the waiters from both of them, speaking fluent Chinese. It was not until Inoue said that he was not a Chinese, that he hurriedly changed to English.
After putting down their luggage, the two went to the Mekong River to ask for grilled fish and beer.
"Just be content." Shigehoshi Ota said, "At least we have not abolished Chinese characters. Although we don't know how to read the streets and shops here, at least we can understand it. This is actually a favorable condition for us."
"The most unlucky thing is Annan and Kazui Kingdom. They used Chinese characters, but they abolished them later. It took a lot of effort to eliminate Chinese from their territory. To this day, you can look at their historical sites, and there are still Chinese characters on them. Even the emperor's edicts start with the will of heaven."
"The people who advocated the abolition of Chinese characters would definitely not have thought that in the near future, they would have to learn again, how to throw it away and how to pick it up. This round-trip wastes a lot of time and money."
Mitsuhiko Inoue refused to comment, and he was still a little dissatisfied. However, his trip to Laos for several days gradually subverted his views.
The originally barren and backward Laos, the economy is improving at a visible speed, and cities and villages are beginning to show signs of modernization, and the people are prosperous and healthy.
There is only one reason for all of this, that is, I followed the right brother.
In the past, every time the ASEAN ten-state meeting, anti-China countries wanted to introduce policies that were unfavorable to China, Laos and Khmer came forward to argue.
Today, China has not forgotten the benefits of these two small countries and has many shirks to them.
In recent years, under the influence of the plateau, Chinese people have gradually realized that their hearts must be different if they are not of our race, and it is almost impossible to educate the Ansa people, and they are too far away, which is not that important to us.
Instead of wasting energy to talk nonsense with a bunch of white-skinned people, it is better to look around and solve the problems around the territory first.
The old saying goes, you must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. As the country with the most neighboring countries on the earth, the stability and unity of the surrounding areas is by no means a bad thing for China.
It would be more troublesome if all the neighboring countries barked like Asanan.
It’s not that China is afraid that they will cause trouble, but that it really doesn’t want to waste energy.
Conflict with them is like using firecrackers to blow up the toilet. The more disgusting it is, the more disgusting it is.
...
One week after the last live broadcast, Shendou flour and Xiaohongguo were launched in batches in China, and there was sufficient supply.
For a time, consumers across the country actively bought it, and the grand occasion of 1.4 billion people eating small red fruits together is considered unprecedented.
In the afternoon, Liang Shaojie suddenly came to search for Gaoyuan, and was holding a laptop under his arm that was obviously not a civilian device.
Gao Yuan knew that it was a custom-built three-defense notebook by the military, which could be turned on for more than 100 meters underwater, and its performance was excellent.
As a disadvantage, it is probably that the notebook is relatively large and not suitable for girls.
"What confidential information are you going to show me? It has something to do with Kunlun Zenith Laser Transmitter? Or is it a new long-range submarine?"
Gao Yuan is very familiar with Liang Shaojie, so he naturally joked that the military's encrypted computer must have encrypted data. Even Gao Yuan does not have the opportunity to see it often, so he is very interested in it.
Liang Shaojie shook his head and said seriously: "It's not us, but something happened in North America. Come and see."
Gao Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
North America has indeed become quiet and suspicious recently. China has been making rapid progress and has continuously used big moves, but North America has almost no response, which is a bit abnormal.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Western Science and Technology Alliance has been established long ago. With their strength, they should not be so low-key.
Gaoyuan walked to Liang Shaojie, and Liang Shaojie turned on the computer and showed Gaoyuan a few satellite pictures.
“This is the Cape Canaveral Space Base in Florida, North America.”
"This is Nasa's big rocket SLS."
"And this is Musk's low-cost large rocket, the heavy Falcon."
"Sls and Heavy Falcons are North America's massive killer weapons in the aerospace field, with a carrying capacity of more than 100 tons. We have also launched the Long March 9 to prepare to compete with North America. These are well-known things."
Speaking of this, Liang Shaojie suddenly changed his tone and said in a hoarse voice: "But just yesterday, our satellite accidentally took this thing."
Liang Shaojie released another high-altitude photo of the rocket, and then compared the rocket with several other large rockets according to a fixed scale.
The comparison result shocked the plateau. In the end, the size of this rocket was significantly larger than the largest SLS on the earth, and it was much larger, so that the SLS was like a child who had not yet grown up around this behemoth.
"What type of rocket is this?" Gao Yuan asked in confusion.
Liang Shaojie shook his head slightly, "I don't know. It was not until this behemoth was transported to Cape Canaveral that we discovered it."
"What do people from the aerospace side say?" Gao Yuan asked again.
"They did a preliminary simulation and calculated that the thrust of this rocket was likely to exceed 1,000 tons." Liang Shaojie said.
One thousand tons!?
The plateau jumped up directly from the seat, his eyes widening.
You should know that the top rockets in North America and China are only just over 100 tons. This has made the Russians and Europe envious because they can't produce rockets carrying 100 tons.
This rocket in the photo can actually reach the level of 1,000 tons!?
This is too crazy!
If this rocket is successfully launched, it means that North America will have space drop capabilities! It will directly send a huge interstellar spacecraft from Earth to space!
Space stations, interstellar spacecraft, space mining, moon base, Mars base…
The plateau has a rapid breathing and I dare not continue to imagine it. Thousand-ton rockets and hundreds-ton rockets are completely incomparable, and there is a huge qualitative gap.
"If there is any latest news, please notify me as soon as possible." Gao Yuan said to him very seriously before leaving.
Liang Shaojie nodded and agreed.
After he left, Gao Yuan paced back and forth in his office, restless and fell into deep anxiety.
It is obvious that after Musk became the helmsman of Western science and technology, he pushed the focus of competition from the ground to space, taking advantage of the accumulated advantages of the West in the space field over the years to open up a second battlefield and avoid the edge of the plateau.
This strategy seems to be successful now, at least Starlink is successful, even the plateau is used. Whenever he secretly runs abroad on the Phantom Shuttle, he will need uninterrupted network services, so he anonymously set up an account.
"By the way!"
"Phantom!"
Plateau slapped his thighs suddenly. Is it a thousand-ton super rocket? I can't tell if I go to Cape Canaveral by myself.
Now the plateau is cleaned up briefly and arranged for the administrative department not to disturb itself.
When night fell, Gaoyuan quietly came to the apron outside the office and pointed his hand at the sky.
Swish~
The Phantom shuttle fell quietly and then released the invisibility.
Gaoyuan opened the hatch door and jumped directly in.
Chapter completed!
