March.

"Xiao Du, the information has not been pulled down, right?" Academician Yang Jianan repeatedly reminded his assistant.

Du Yangping held a lot of materials and reports and put them in his bag, followed Yang Jianan with the bag and promised: "It's all inside, but Mr. Yang is now in 2017. Isn't it better to upload the information directly to the cloud and hand it over to Mr. Luo?"

"I can see the paper manuscript, and I feel at ease." Yang Jianan replied, "The two walked out of Xingjian International headquarters, and a special car had been waiting for a long time.

Five minutes later, the two drove to the airport. Luo Sheng's A380 private plane had been waiting at the airport for a long time. He was already on the plane and was about to fly to Qiongzhou.

And "Star Arrow 1703" has arrived at the Qiongzhou launch site.

The vehicle Yang Jianan was riding arrived at the airport and got off the car and boarded the plane with his assistant.

In a living room in the cabin, Yang Jianan said apologetically when he saw Luo Sheng: "Mr. Luo, I'm sorry, I've been delayed for a little while."

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "There are still three or five minutes left before the departure time, just right."

Yang Jianan immediately asked Du Yangping to give him the materials, and then handed them directly to Luo Sheng, and said: "Mr. Luo, if the 'Star Arrow 1703' is successfully recycled this time, it will be officially established. According to the medium- and long-term plan, it is expected that around 2027 we will have about 10 models of launch vehicles to form a new generation of small, medium, large, heavy and super heavy rockets."

Luo Sheng took the materials and did not read it, but put it aside, looked at Yang Jianan and smiled and said, "Old Yang, don't worry, take a break first."

Tang Xin, who temporarily replaced An Qingxue as Luo Sheng's personal assistant and secretary, now played a guest role in the flight attendant and gave everyone a few cups of tea.

Yang Jianan stopped and said hurriedly: "How dare you rest? If 1703 cannot get to the sky, my heart will not fall."

As the chief engineer of the Star Arrow series of Rockets, Yang Jianan knew very well how much burden he was carrying. He had already spent more than 40 to 50 billion yuan in. The more money he spent, the greater the pressure he was.

In addition to internal pressure, the greater is external pressure, which is Blue Origin and Spacex's competitive pressure.

This time, Xingjian International and Spacex will earn the title of "second-hand rockets" for the first time in March. Even Luo Sheng personally went to the Qiongzhou launch site, which shows his importance to this launch experiment.

Currently, private space exploration companies around the world are emerging one after another, but only three companies in the first echelon are competing with each other, namely Star Arrow International, Blue Origin and Spacex.

Blue Origin helped Jeff Bezos get the title of "The First Rockets Recycling Person". Spacex gave Elon Musk the title of successfully recycling Rockets on the offshore platform in 2015. Luo Sheng's Star Arrow International has not had any outstanding "first" title so far.

This space race is undoubtedly behind its competitors, and the one invested the most money in three parties, which puts pressure from Yang Jiananbe.

However, Star Arrow International started the latest, Spacex was established in 2002 and began the development of the "Falcon" series of rockets in 2006, with Nasa's technical support behind it.

Xingjiang International was established in 2011, and it was the latest one. Without strong institutional support like Nasa, everything depends on itself.

Fortunately, Luo Sheng has a skill that neither Elon Musk nor Jeff Bezos can match - money ability.

The powerful "money ability" will not be too far behind. I have been chasing for the past five years, and now I have the ability to compete head-on with Spacex. This also shows that China's aerospace talents are not inferior to those of foreign countries.

The special plane has taken off. Luo Sheng, who was sitting by the window in the living room in the cabin, smiled and said, "Old Yang, don't be under too much pressure. The first priority is to compete for the title of second-hand rockets, but the first priority is still stable. A temporary lead does not mean the final lead. Even if 1703 is successful, it does not mean that the Star Arrow series recycling technology is mature, and there is still a long road."

Yang Jianan nodded and said nothing. The big financial owner said so, what else can he say? All he had to do is to move forward steadily and send the rockets to heaven.

...

Just as Luo Sheng and the others arrived in Qiongzhou, they got off the plane and learned an unexpected news.

"What did you say? Sapcex announced the launch plan one week in advance?" Luo Sheng was stunned for a while when he heard Tang Xin's report, who affirmed: "The news posted by Elon Musk on his social account microblog an hour ago was confirmed to be a week in advance, and some media have reported it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but complain: "Elon Musk is still playing microblog when he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, who did he show it to..."

Yang Jianan, who was accompanying him, said with an estimate: "The original launch plan for Spacex was on March 22, and it was to be launched on March 14 one week in advance, and our star arrow was launched on March 16."

His assistant Du Yangping casually said: "Elon Musk is obviously for us, and it was planned."

Star Arrow's second-hand rocket launch plan was announced one month earlier, and it will also be launched live. Spacex's Falcon Rockets also announced its launch plan at the beginning of the new year.

At this moment, Yang Jianan couldn't help but raise his heart. He couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng, but he was extremely worried that Luo Sheng would be stimulated by the news and asked to let the Rockets go to heaven before Sapcex in advance.

This is a big trouble.

If the original launch plan is changed in such a hasty way, there will definitely be endless troubles, and it is very likely that you will face the risk of failure again with problems.

Luo Sheng said calmly: "Don't be influenced by external news. They play their own games. We can take the opportunity to observe and learn."

Hearing Luo Sheng's words, Yang Jianan finally let go of his heart, which had just been hung up. He was afraid that Luo Sheng would be stimulated by the news, and he would be fooled by his opponent when he was in a row with Elon Musk.

In fact, Luo Sheng had long noticed Yang Jianan's reaction just now, especially when he deliberately glanced at his small move, obviously because he was afraid that he would be affected by this news.

After all, Luo Sheng is now the CEO of Xingjian International, and he founded the company. He gave the research funds all the money. He has the right to make arrangements for the company's plans and insisted on implementing them. No one can stop him.

Fortunately, Yang Jianan was more worried. Luo Sheng himself was engaged in scientific research in his previous life, which was very different from other leaders. Naturally, he knew that scientific research should not be in a hurry.

Today is March 9, and there is still a week before the launch of "Star Arrow 1703". After Luo Sheng arrived in Qiongzhou, he was temporarily separated from Yang Jian'an. Old Yang took his assistant to the launch of China and West to preside over the work.

Luo Sheng led his new little secret Tang Xin to Sanya for a few days off to experience the tropical style.

...

Early in the morning of March 15th.

Luo Sheng had just had a dream and dreamed that the rocket was launched. Then he felt a little boring, and then he woke up from his sleep.

After waking up, I opened my eyes and saw Tang Xin looking at him with a smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Luo~"

Luo Sheng said helplessly: "Can't you wake me up in another way?"

Tang Xin said playfully, "What about?"

Luo Sheng immediately turned over and got up, stretched his waist, pulled open the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and looked out into the room, looked out for a moment, then looked back and glanced at Tang Xin, saying, "This is beyond your job scope, and it cannot give you promotion, salary increase or other economic benefits. You may even lose your existing job because of this."

Although this seems a bit ruthless, Luo Sheng is very clear that some holes can be opened, but some holes must not be opened, otherwise it will bury the detonator and cause unnecessary trouble.

Besides, Tang Xin, the little secretary, took the initiative to come to the door in the past few days. Luo Sheng said that he was innocent and refused at the beginning, but he was also a normal person.

Tang Xin smiled and looked at Luo Sheng with an indifferent face, saying, "I can have such an encounter with the richest man in the world and the number one in technology, even if I lose my job because of it."

Luo Sheng: "..."

I can't say anything anymore. I thought I was a little ruthless when I hit her, but she said that. If I wanted to say anything, it would seem that she was too ruthless and ruthless.

Not not.

A smart scheming girl is undoubtedly the one around her. Even a little secret is so smart. If you don’t have some strength, you may not be able to control these people.

However, Luo Sheng was relieved. This is right, which indirectly proves that the company's management is not a group of pigs in charge. If it is the opposite, it will be really anxious.

Luo Sheng represents the core of Blue Star Technology and the huge commercial technology empire composed of the Coast of Blue. The people who can reach the core must have something to do, otherwise they will not reach this level.

Tang Xin had already prepared a breakfast, and Luo Sheng simply finished washing and then had a meal. He just sat down at the dining table and looked at the clock on the wall, then said, "Oh, this point should be launched by the Falcon 9... Where is the computer placed?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin immediately took a laptop for Luo Sheng, and soon opened the live broadcast page. Spacex's launch experiment was also a global live broadcast process.

Luo Sheng stared at the screen while enjoying breakfast, and the countdown showed that there was still one minute before the launch time.

At the same time, the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in North America, located on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, is brightly lit and the Falcon 9 rocket is particularly eye-catching.

【10,9,8…3,2,1 ignition】

As the countdown ended, the launch site suddenly became bright as daytime. Luo Sheng, who was watching the launch of the live broadcast, stared at the screen without saying a word, listening to the cheers from the employees of Spacex Company in the live broadcast room.

Tomorrow is the day when the star arrow is launched, and I hope it can be declared successful in cheers.

Tang Xin, who was sitting next to her having breakfast, glanced at the live broadcast and said, "I really hope it exploded directly in the air..."

Just as Tang Xin's words fell, the Falcon 9 in the live broadcast screen suddenly exploded at an altitude of less than 800 meters!

The original cheering live broadcast background sound turned into "holy sh*t", "omg", "wtf", and then fell into a dead silence.

Luo Sheng, who was the melon-eating crowd, was also stunned. After a moment, he turned around and said, "Have you opened your mouth?"

Tang Xin stared at the screen with excitement: "It exploded, it really exploded..."

Luo Sheng immediately scolded softly: "How can you say that? This is not only a rocket firework worth more than 60 million US dollars in Spacex, but also a major loss to human space industry. Don't be so gloating."

Tang Xin reacted and couldn't help but stick out her tongue. However, when she saw Luo Sheng scolding him with an unconcealed happy expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The so-called happiest thing in the world is to see your opponent betrayed. At this time, Luo Sheng was already feeling a lot, and it was so sour.

I told you to be foolish, it's going to explode now.

Luo Sheng once again focused his attention on the live broadcast screen. He wanted to see if the director would give Elon Musk a shot and see what his expression looked like at the moment.
