Chapter 579 Space Boom (New Year's Eve has arrived)

After the commendation meeting.

Qin Yuanqing, together with several other Nobel Prize winners, officially recommended Xie Daoxin and Huang Zuming to the Nobel Prize jury as candidates for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology.

The reason for Xie Daoxin's recommendation is that he has made outstanding contributions in the field of plant research, which has given mankind hope to escape desertification. The reason for Huang Zuming's recommendation is that he has made outstanding contributions in the field of bacteria, which has protected human society from the harm of sewage.

After all, Qin Yuanqing does not need the Nobel Prize to prove anything. Even he has long announced that he will no longer participate in awards including the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal. However, other scholars still need proof of these awards.

Over the years, Chinese people are no longer as difficult to appear on the Nobel Prize award stage as they used to be. Instead, they are regular guests. In almost every session, Chinese scientists have won the Nobel Prize.

In this era of technological explosion, more and more Nobel Prize-level achievements are being made, and China's influence is getting stronger day by day. Its powerful influence makes many people no longer dare to carry it with them.

Looking at China through colored glasses.

Just as China was preparing for the Spring Festival holiday, a piece of news came from across the ocean, that is, the Johnson & Johnson Group announced that it was working on a special project called "frozen sustained-release agent" to prevent cell fluid from freezing under low-temperature conditions.

Ice pierces cell membranes..

This project is jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Health and NASA and exists as a sub-project of the cryo-sleep cabin project jointly developed by NASA and Space Wordks.

Qin Yuanqing's face did not change at all when he saw this news. The cryo-sleep cabin project is actually underway in China. This is a technology prepared for the era of interstellar travel.

During interstellar travel that lasts for several years, ten years or even decades, if astronauts are always on the spacecraft, then astronauts flying in the vast universe will suffer from mental illness and will also die of aging. So some people

It is proposed to develop a hibernation cabin. People can sleep in the hibernation cabin. When the spacecraft is about to arrive at the destination, the astronauts will be awakened from the hibernation cabin. This can protect the physical and mental health of the astronauts, and can also

This ensures that astronauts’ lifespan is not wasted on useless journeys.

However, Qin Yuanqing saw that such technology was still in the exploratory stage, but related companies in the United States were promoting it with great fanfare, as if it could be realized tomorrow. Considering the past period of time, with the continuous hype, the market value of countless aerospace concepts in the United States

It has been rising all the way, and the whole of North America seems to be in a carnival, causing countless people to dream back to that night half a century ago.

Qin Yuanqing admitted that the United States has a deep foundation in the aerospace field and still has a technical foundation. It has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for decades. Even if part of the funding disappeared inexplicably, it still burned a lot of results by burning money.

Come out, such as the detection of Mars, the detection of Mercury, the detection of Jupiter...

However, the United States has turned to a virtual economy since the 1970s. The game is finance, and industries have begun to shift. It has been half a century, and they have already had two generations of people no longer engaged in industry.

Even ten years ago, the United States realized the importance of industry and wanted to bring the industry back. However, it is not so easy to bring the industry back. First, two generations of them did not engage in industry, which made the industry hollow and wanted to build an industrial chain.

It’s easier said than done; secondly, the high labor costs make the products produced uncompetitive in the world.

This means that, in the past ten years, not only has the industrial reshoring not been realized, but some high-end companies have lost the international market and have to rely on policies to survive in North America.

Under such circumstances, the current aerospace craze in the United States appears to be extremely unreliable. It is completely advocating bubbles and causing investors to invest money in the aerospace field. But will those aerospace companies invest money in real aerospace?

Activities are a matter of two things.

Anyway, combined with past news, Qin Yuanqing believes that these are hype, creativity, ppt, and money-making behaviors, just like the Internet field in the past.

Once upon a time, the Internet was like this. You could get millions and tens of millions of dollars in angel investment by relying on creativity and ppt. Then suddenly one day the bubble burst. When the Internet bubble burst, it left a land full of desolation.

It took five or six years for me to feel better.

"If you want to make people perish, you will definitely make them crazy! This statement is indeed true!" Qin Yuanqing shook his head and no longer paid attention to these North American news.

...

While the Chinese people were preparing to celebrate the New Year, they were far away on the other side of the ocean, in Arizona.

In a barren desert, a Hummer was speeding along the road.

Finally stopping on the side of a highway, Musk got off the Hummer and looked over, only to see a white, round egg-shaped building next to a canyon in the barren desert.

Next to this building, there are several pieces of engineering equipment parked, and engineers wearing safety helmets are surrounding this strange-looking building, making final adjustments.

This is a life capsule specially developed by Space

"When the news about this life capsule comes out, Space Star will receive at least 10 billion US dollars in financing!" Musk showed a proud look on his face.

Although this building was originally built in the name of Space

There is no connection with SpaceX or Musk.

Musk has also introduced a professional manager to the table, who wants to make a fuss about the life capsule. If he wants to develop the moon and Mars, how can he not have a life capsule?

With this life capsule project, even if Starry Space Exploration Company has just been established, it can easily raise at least tens of billions of dollars in funding once it goes public.

"Those idiots still want to build a good industry, but there is no way to make money quickly in the industry!" Musk's eyes flashed with disdain.

As for the future bubble in the aerospace field and the companies under his leadership have gone bankrupt, it doesn't matter, he is still a rich man.

And whether in Europe, Russia, or China, there is wealth at his disposal, which is enough to ensure that he can live a wealthy life.

"I hope the 'return to the moon plan' will be a success, otherwise..." Musk whispered to himself.

Once the "return to the moon plan" fails, the losses will be much greater than last time, just like the Soviet Union's manned moon landing plan failed again and again. It will be a fatal blow to the heart and will be taken from the soul.

beat.

In this regard, the United States has the most experience!

A few decades ago, you could rely on Hollywood special effects, shoot in a special effects canopy and then process it with computers. Anyway, communication technology is not developed, and no one knows whether we have landed on the moon. As long as we insist on saying that we successfully landed on the moon, then

No one can refute it.

But things are different now. Satellites are not only in the orbit of the earth, but also in the orbit of the moon. China has even established a scientific research station on the moon, which will definitely monitor the entire process of the American moon landing spacecraft.

So as long as something is fake, it will be exposed immediately, which will only cause more loss of face.

Musk is a very shrewd person, and he knows very well that once the "return to the moon plan" fails, the North American aerospace bubble will burst, and the stocks of countless aerospace companies that are now sought after will become worthless.

, countless aerospace companies will go bankrupt and liquidated, and countless people who have become rich will suddenly lose everything and have nothing.

...

On Chinese New Year's Eve, China is having a lively reunion dinner, but this time people are not watching the Spring Festival Gala, but watching international news, because in Florida, North America, a BFR rocket will be test-fired.

At this time, a super rocket as high as a 32-story building stood on the central launch pad of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

On the side of this rocket are printed the American flag, the NASA emblem, the Space-X logo, and the three huge letters BFR. At the same time, in order to take care of several generous donors, under these logos

Also printed are several Wall Street investment banks that sponsored the plan.

For such a huge rocket, it took the staff here nearly a month just to send it to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and complete the assembly. And it took another full week to complete the final preparations for launch.

time.

After the failure of the last "return to the moon plan", NASA has restarted the "return to the moon plan" again. Naturally, it has to learn lessons. The launch of the BFR rocket this time is to send a probe to the moon for inspection work, and then return from the moon.

Go to Earth and carry out simulation work for manned landing on the moon.

This launch attracted the attention of the whole world. After all, the enthusiasm for aerospace is now high. Various countries have shown great enthusiasm for the aerospace field, and people are also full of interest in aerospace.

After the ignition command was issued, billowing smoke swept away instantly. The 42 Raptor engines consumed the liquid oxygen and methane in the fuel chamber at a terrifying speed, providing the entire spacecraft with a terrifying take-off thrust of 128 megatons.

The rocket, which was more than 100 meters long, was pushed slowly away from the launcher and launch platform, and rushed towards the blue sky.

The roar from the engine was like the roar of a giant beast.

This beast is called chemical propulsion.

Condensing the most advanced liquid oxygen and methane propulsion technology, this giant beast once again showed the world its thick and powerful arms...

As it sends the probe into the earth's orbit, it means that the launch mission has achieved an initial victory. Next, it will continue to change orbits and accelerate before it enters the Earth-Moon Migration Orbit, and the Earth-Moon Migration Orbit is the second
