The years of red flags

Chapter 1521 Blacklist

"Of course there's no problem with a high-five." The other party smiled and said, "But we have to add a time limit to this bet. It can't be a hundred years. You can live another hundred years without any problem with your body, but we can't."

"Thanks for your good wishes. If I can live another 100 years, I will break the Guinness World Record." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I won't make any other great achievements in this life. If I can break the human limit in terms of longevity, then when I die, I will leave my body to my research institute so that they can study the secret of longevity."

"Two years. As long as you can take care of the Okinotorishima Reef within two years, let alone singing and dancing at the annual meeting, when our automotive industry holds another such meeting, I will be able to sing and dance on stage."

"Then it's a deal." Jiang Hua smiled and held out his hand: "Two years is a long time, half a year should not exceed a year at most. If this matter cannot be handled, it will be my loss."

"So confident." The other party high-fived Jiang Hua and said with a smile: "If you are so confident, I would be a little hesitant. Seeing your confidence, I have to work overtime to rehearse the song and dance when I go back."

Jiang Hua said jokingly: "That's right, you should go back and practice more. If you sing well, I will ask my wife to help you debut and become a popular singer."

"Then it's a deal."

After the seminar, Jiang Hua rushed to the launch base without stopping. Two navigation satellites were about to be launched, and the leaders of the Space Agency were also at their launch base.

"It is our honor that the leaders value our Huaxing Aerospace." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I can guarantee here that the two satellites will be sent into orbit without any error."

"I absolutely believe this." The leader smiled and said, "The task assigned to us this year is to speed up the deployment of navigation satellites. Twelve navigation satellites have been launched so far, and this year we need to double this number to reach twelve in one year. If this one goes well, you may need to launch another one in the middle of the year and at the end of the year."

"Thank you for your trust, our commercial launch mission is quite heavy this year."

The leader nodded and said, "We are very happy that Huaxing has achieved great development. Our country's aerospace development cannot rely solely on the aerospace administration. Private aerospace companies can take the lead in this, which is the real development. Unfortunately, among all the private aerospace companies in China, only you can be of great use."

"There is no other way. We started early. I believe that in another ten years, other domestic private aerospace companies will also be able to make rapid progress."

"I hope so." The leader smiled and said, "I went to your Huaxing Aerospace factory some time ago. When I visited, I found that you were manufacturing a big thing there, similar to an airplane, but they said it was a spacecraft, but it was different from our Shenzhou spacecraft."

"Yes, we designed a reusable spacecraft." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "We originally wanted to be able to take off directly like an airplane, but it has not been possible so far. It can only be launched at the launch site, but it does not need to be driven by a rocket. After filling it with fuel, it can be launched at the launch site and propelled by a plasma engine in outer space."

The leader was very interested and asked: "That's interesting. When will the first launch be?"

"It may take another six months to a year." Jiang Hua explained: "This thing can't be rushed. Foreign space shuttles still need to be tied to rockets for launch. Ours is also a pioneering work."

“Reusable?”

"That's right." Jiang Hua nodded. "But at the beginning, we may need to replace the engine or something. The main body of the spacecraft can be reused. We plan to make it completely reusable within three to five years. The final design will allow the spacecraft to take off directly without launching, just like in science fiction movies."

The leader gave a thumbs up and said, “That’s already amazing.”

"It's not enough." Jiang Hua sighed: "You have to praise our scientific and technological personnel. I also think they are amazing, but they think this is only the first step in a long journey, and they can go further." When it was time for the launch, the two people living behind the control console watched the rocket nervously. In order to see the rocket enter orbit normally, the two did not sleep all night. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the satellite enter normal orbit.

"Very good, this launch was very good." The leader said with satisfaction: "If possible, we hope you can take on more important responsibilities."

"What responsibility?"

"We hope you will take half of the twelve navigation satellites this year," the leader said, "because we want to focus more on the lunar landing project and the space station."

"We also want to focus more on space shuttles and subspace vehicles."

The leader held Jiang Hua's hand and said, "Just give me some face. You still have our space agency to back you up. If we are slow, there will really be no one to back us up."

"Now that it's come to this, I can only respectfully obey your orders."

The leader smiled and said, "As for the launch fee, don't worry. It will be as much as it should be. We are not short of funds now."

"Of course we are not short of funds. Last year, I helped you get 5 billion US dollars from big companies." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If the project progresses well, there will be another 10 billion US dollars by the end of this year."

The leader laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. I almost forgot that you were the one who brought us this business. It has raised all the funds for our entire lunar landing company and space station. Now we can't spend all the money."

"Don't be so cocky." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Money is only one aspect of the problem. Technological progress is more important."

"You don't even need to tell me that."

The next day, the front-page headline of the newspaper reported that Huaxing Aerospace's space agency had launched two navigation satellites into orbit, and they were satellites in different orbits, and stated that Huaxing Aerospace would undertake a very important task in the construction of the navigation system.

"Leader, you are putting our Huaxing Aerospace on the spot."

The leader nodded and said: "I'll give you some pressure. People feel light without pressure, and wells won't produce oil without pressure."

"I think Huaxing Aerospace will soon be on the Ugly Country's blacklist."

The leader laughed and said, "I don't know if you are on the blacklist of the Ugly Country, but I know you are on the blacklist of NASA."

Jiang Hua asked in surprise: "Really? How come I didn't know about this?"

"They have to have some dignity. In their internal meeting, NASA leadership announced that they would not allow any contact with you, but they did not make it public."
