Silicon Valley

The x interstellar event invited a few celebrities to perform. In addition to Michael Jackson, Celine Dion was also invited to sing the theme song of "Titanic" "My Heart Is Eternal", and finally invited from "America Britney Spears, a popular girl who stands out in "The Voice".

After several rounds of performances were completed, Lawrence Paul stepped onto the stage to host this interstellar event.

"Welcome everyone, first of all, please allow me to introduce to you company x. The full name of company x is "Space Exploration Technology Company". It was established in 1991 and is composed of aerospace technology talents from the former Soviet Union. Subsequently, Mr. Henry Williams acquired Lockheed Martin, Hughes Aerospace & Communications, and Northrop Grumman x Company may be just a new company, but the latter three companies are the aerospace companies with a long history and powerful strength. Our new company x has integrated the aerospace capabilities of these four companies and has become the world's most technologically strong and largest aerospace company!"

"X company is always recruiting the world's best aerospace talents to join our company. So far, the total number of companies in the company has exceeded 40,000, surpassing the total number of employees of NASA, the European Space Agency esa, and the Russian Federal Space Agency rka. And every year The research funding of the company is as high as more than 20 billion U.S. dollars, which is three times that of Nasa in the United States, four times that of the Russian Federal Space Agency rka, and five times that of the European Space Agency esa!"

"Today company x held this interstellar event, and the main display was the latest launch vehicle of company x!"

"As everyone knows, the cost of launching rockets is extremely expensive. At the beginning of the establishment of X company, it was determined to be the cheapest launch vehicle. In this regard. We have been conscientious and researching. As far as technology is concerned, we have already We are at the forefront of the world; in terms of cost control. The cost of launching a rocket in the world is generally about 100 million US dollars, and the cost of launching a rocket is at least more than 20 million US dollars cheaper!"

The words are over. Many people couldn't help being surprised, with incredible expressions on their faces! Then, they started talking.

Lawrence Paul raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "This new type of launch vehicle is the second-generation rocket of our company x, called the Falcon 2 with a total length of 35 meters and is a solid-liquid hybrid type. A three-stage rocket. Its standard price is 750 billion US dollars. If it is launched to low-Earth orbit, the maximum load is 20 tons; if it is launched to the geosynchronous transition orbit, the maximum load is 6.5 tons; if it is launched to Mars, the maximum load is 3.1 tons! "

As Lawrence Paul spoke, the LCD screen behind him lit up, and a huge rocket, like Monkey King’s golden cudgel, was placed horizontally on the playground, with no end in sight. At the tail of the rocket, there are 9 launchers and a large, black launch port. Each one can fit 6 people. A staff member was standing under the launch port, and compared with the rocket, it seemed very small!

Lawrence Paul looked at the audience. A confident smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "If you choose company x to launch multiple rocket missions, the cost will be lower!"

After speaking, Lawrence Paul nodded to Henry. Henry then stood up and walked to the stage.

Everyone just started talking, and when Henry came to power, everyone fell silent.

Henry took the microphone handed over by an employee and bowed to the people in the audience.

"Actually, this x interstellar event. We not only showed you the Falcon 2 rocket, but also showed you the spacecraft. Satellites, etc., presumably. You have all seen it at the booth in the hall. "Henry said, "Have you ever watched that short video describing life in space in the future?"

Henry smiled, "Although that short video is exaggerated, it may not be impossible! In the past, humans did not even dare to fly, but now, we have already achieved the moon landing plan!"

"Technology is advancing. Humans immigrated to the moon or even Mars to live on. It is not a delusion that the existence of the company x is to accelerate the realization of the great vision of human migration to space!"

As soon as Henry's words fell, everyone was stunned.

Henry ignored everyone’s surprise and continued: “X company established a microgravity laboratory and built the world’s most advanced microgravity drop tower to conduct microgravity experiments on fluid physics, non-metallic material combustion, and liquid management. Research provides a convenient experimental method for spacecraft load carrying experiments and pre-research on fire protection technology. Here, some people may not know what microgravity is, so I will briefly introduce it. Microgravity actually refers to gravity or other The acceleration caused by external force does not exceed 10e-5～10e-4g, which is simply weightlessness, and the microgravity environment refers to the space environment.

However, doing research in space is too costly. Another research method is relatively simple and rude, and that is to build a microgravity drop tower. The microgravity drop tower is actually a very tall tower. As we all know, free fall will produce weightlessness, and weightlessness can create a microgravity environment. In this short-lived microgravity environment, the staff can engage in related research. "

Henry looked around at the audience and said loudly: "Of course, our company x will definitely build its own space station, and then conduct further research in the space station!"

"This time, we not only invited officials from the aerospace departments of various governments, but also sent invitations to many rich people. The reason for this is that our company x is preparing to do a big project-space station tourism project! If anyone If the rich want to travel to outer space, they must contact us a long time in advance. Because the environment of space and the surface of the earth are very different, the surface of the earth is a 1g gravity environment, and the space is in a vacuum state, eating, wearing, living, Lines and so on are different from those on Earth~www.readwn.com~ Therefore, rich people who want to travel in space must undergo special training to adapt to this microgravity environment!"

Henry laughed and said: "In the microgravity environment, each of you has become Superman, you can fly in mid-air, and you can bounce off a car weighing several tons with one finger... You can do all kinds of things. Unbelievable action, I think, there is nothing more wonderful than experiencing this kind of life in space! At the same time, you can also enjoy the unique scenery in space!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, many rich people in the audience were shocked, and extremely eager expressions flashed across their faces. Henry knew that after his own bewilderment, many people would definitely be willing to participate in space travel.

A rich man in the audience asked loudly: "Mr. Williams, how much does it cost to participate in a sky trip?"

"20 million dollars!" Henry replied with a soft smile.

"20 million U.S. dollars?!!!" Everyone was stunned. A trip of 20 million U.S. dollars is probably the most expensive tour in the world. Although they are all billionaires, they dare not spend that much.
