Rebirth Technology Power

NASA headquarters.

This world famous space center.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if a storm was about to usher in.

The satellite was destroyed just like that.

This can be called subversive.

Anti-satellite means are not without.

But like this, easily destroying satellites is simply subversive imagination.

At this time, countless NASA researchers were overshadowed.

The technical gap here is quite obvious.

NASA is not without space shuttle technology, even if it has not had a space shuttle for ten years, but the space shuttle technology is a complete set.

However, the industrial chain that was able to build the space shuttle in the past is not complete. It is not so simple to reconstruct the industrial chain.

Even if it really costs a lot of money to build a space shuttle, it will be the same as the previous space shuttle, and its performance will not even be as good as Da Mao's Blizzard space shuttle.

Not to mention, compared with CNSA's space shuttle.

To build a space shuttle like CNSA, there are not one or two difficulties that need to be overcome.

If it was CNSA decades ago, there were still technical talents to overcome it, but now, it is impossible to form a decent team.

There are excellent talents in the United States, and no one wants to engage in manufacturing and industrial design.

As for groups of Chinese descent, they are now not even allowed to enter CNSA and other institutions, or even to be ordinary staff members, let alone core personnel.

Infinite loop!
As for those old people, they have already entered the pension stage, so there is no need to think about what to expect them to do.

Everyone feels the threat from space.

Missiles can also be used for defense.

With the current missile defense system, the success rate of interception is still quite high. It is not a little bit difficult to break through numerous interceptions.

The only headache is hypersonic missiles.

It's embarrassing to say that, as the number one military power, the United States failed to conquer hypersonic missiles. Not long ago, a test launch of hypersonic missiles failed.

This kind of hypersonic missile, with a speed exceeding Mach 5, can implement large-scale maneuvers, and it is extremely difficult to intercept.

Especially the rabbit on the opposite side, not only produced hypersonic missiles, but even the missiles produced can be used for nothing. Such things are actually produced, it is simply going to heaven.

Did not master hypersonic missiles, let alone interception.

Think about it, even missiles exceeding Mach 5 are difficult to intercept.

What about weapons from space?

That speed is not Mach 5, but Mach 10, Mach 20!

Everyone knows that the horror of space weapons determines the ownership of the right to control the sky.

Although on December 2021, 12, the "No First to Deploy Weapons in Outer Space" resolution was passed by a high vote.

But you must know that even if it is deployed, it will be difficult for others to find out.

Moreover, this kind of resolution actually has no binding force, and Ying Jiang has the most experience in this regard.

Any agreement is a piece of waste paper to be torn up.

Anything you say can be ignored in a blink of an eye.

Of course, it is not without consequences if you are guilty and tell too many lies.

The consequence is that no one wants to believe it.

They didn't even pick up the phone.

"You said, can we purchase a space shuttle from CNSA?" A person suddenly raised a possibility.

Purchase a space shuttle! ?
The others immediately looked at the man as if they were idiots.

Let's see, can space shuttles, which gather a lot of advanced technology, be exported?
Sleepy Bridge is willing to speak, but others are unwilling to export.

Moreover, do you use US dollars to purchase?

Thinking of the funding application that NASA intends to submit, everyone's heart is covered with a shadow.

According to the current situation, the combined budget for next year is already a record, reaching an astonishing $9 trillion.

Among them, military spending will exceed one trillion U.S. dollars for the first time.

And space funding will reach 5000 billion US dollars for the first time.

Now all parties are building momentum, one side is trying to pass this budget plan as much as possible, and the other side is sniping.

And the high and rising debt is enough to cause headaches, especially now that it belongs to the dollar interest rate hike cycle.

However, the imagined frenzy of dollars did not occur, nor did the developing countries fall into a shortage of dollars.

At this time, Silicon Valley, a bank.

SVB Bank, which is the world's most famous Silicon Valley Bank, has total assets of 2090 billion US dollars, and through 27 offices in the United States, 3 international branches and extensive business relationships in Asia and Europe, it provides risk and start-up companies Offer loans.

Silicon Valley Bank, serving technology-based companies, has successfully helped star companies such as Facebook and Twitter.

But now, Silicon Valley Bank is in trouble.

During the U.S. dollar interest rate hike cycle, depositors have withdrawn U.S. dollars to buy U.S. debt. After all, the interest on U.S. debt is much higher than that of banks.

To cope, Silicon Valley Bank had to face difficult choices.

"Everyone, now we can only break our arms to survive and sell U.S. bonds in exchange for U.S. dollars to deal with the run on depositors." The president said in a deep voice.

"But President, if we sell U.S. bonds now, not only will we not get interest, but we will even have to pay for it. I am afraid that the books will look ugly and cause panic."

The expressions of the others changed.

In the past, many depositors' money was used for investment, one of which was to buy U.S. bonds.

As long as you hold U.S. debt and don't sell it, you will make a profit on the books.

But selling it now, and the maturity of U.S. bonds are two different things. The price difference between the two is quite obvious, and this price difference requires Silicon Valley Bank to pay for it.

"But do we have any other options now?" the president said in a deep voice.

Faced with this dilemma, Silicon Valley Bank is not the only one, but many small and medium-sized banks exist.

As for the big banks, they will not help these banks. They are like hungry wolves, but they wish they would go bankrupt and close down, and then come up and bite off a piece of meat.

Now, the choice is made.

It is naturally the best to get through this difficulty safely and smoothly.

"Everyone, you don't want our bonuses, don't you?" the president said meaningfully.

Without money, naturally no bonuses could be issued.

But with money, it will be different, and naturally the bonus can be paid as it is.

After getting the bonus, it has nothing to do with them as to how much they lost.

All of a sudden, this sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

No one has trouble with money.

Silicon Valley Bank fell, it can only be said that this is a battle of innocence, and they cannot be blamed.

Who would have thought that at this time, it is still in the US dollar interest rate hike cycle.

With a consensus reached, Silicon Valley Bank began to act, selling high-quality assets in its hands, including U.S. bonds.

But this time, everyone was caught off guard.

The entire market reacted quickly.
