Reborn Tech Scholar

Chapter 472 Aviation Disaster
really
As Qin Yuanqing expected, this live broadcast allowed the whole world to watch a grand feast of fireworks!

Qin Yuanqing sighed and shook his head, this spaceflight is definitely not a child's play, the launch is all about safety, because a little mistake and defect will lead to the consequences of wasting all previous efforts.This high risk is also a prominent feature of space launches.
Since the world's first artificial earth satellite was successfully launched on October 1957, 10, the process of human development and exploration of space has not been smooth sailing, but has been full of various failures and setbacks.

For example, in January 1967, three American astronauts, Grissom, Chaffee and White, were killed in a simulated launch of the Apollo 1 spacecraft at Cape Canaveral. space disaster.

For example, on March 1980, 3, the Vostok carrier rocket of the former Soviet Union exploded during refueling at the Plesetsk launch site. 18 technicians were killed on the spot, and another 45 died after being sent to the hospital.

Throughout the 20th century, mankind has experienced a total of 26 space disasters, killing more than a hundred people and losing tens of billions of dollars, which is a dollar with strong purchasing power.

In the 21st century, it has never been reduced, and the most famous one is that on February 2003, 2, the "Columbia" space shuttle disintegrated and exploded in the air due to a piece of insulating foam from the external fuel tank falling off, killing all 1 astronauts .

However, human beings are not intimidated by this series of space disasters, but are still full of courage to explore space and the universe, preparing for human beings to enter the interstellar era.

As Qin Yuanqing wrote in "When Humans Begin to Look Up at the Starry Sky", the future of mankind lies in the universe. Only by stepping out of the earth, the cradle of human life, and entering the universe, can mankind have a future to speak of.

To be honest, as an existence that has already stood at the peak of human beings, Qin Yuanqing is more eager than anyone else for human beings to step out of the earth and enter the interstellar age. In this way, he can also see more scenery. For 100 years, human beings will not be able to truly enter the interstellar era, and can only fight within the earth.

The first day of New Year's Day seemed to indicate that 2020 would not be a good year. It cast a cloud of gloom on the world, and Qin Yuanqing was not in a good mood.

"Dad~~ I want to be an astronaut in the future and conquer space!" Doudou said in a small spacesuit.

"I want to be an astronaut too. When I grow up, I want to go to the space station, and I want to go to the moon to see Chang'e!" Mao Dou, also dressed in a small astronaut, said with bright eyes.

Qin Yuanqing was amused, but it was more of an encouragement. In recent years, the topic of China's aerospace industry has been very hot. In addition, China's own space station was established not long ago. Although the orbital height of this space station is only 400-450 kilometers, the inclination angle is 42 ~43 degrees, the design life is only 10 years, only 3 people can stay there for a long time, and the total weight is only 180 tons, which is not much different from the International Space Station, but it belongs to China alone.

This has led to the dream of many children and students no longer to become businessmen, entrepreneurs or stars, but to become aerospace engineers and astronauts!

The space suit worn by the two little kids has been very popular during this period.

Qin Yuanqing thinks this is pretty good, it is entertaining and entertaining, starting from the children, lest the children want to be businessmen and celebrities, and then live broadcast to bring goods to make money, which is very bad.

Society still needs technology to promote it.

As for aerospace engineering, it requires a group of scientists and astronauts to work together to achieve it.

"Idiot, there is no Guanghan Palace or Chang'e on the moon, and there is no one on it. The teacher said, you still don't change!" Doudou said pointing at Maodou.

"Nonsense, there is Chang'e, the moon rabbit, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree!" Maodou refused to admit defeat at all.

Qin Yuanqing was speechless when he saw the two little kids starting to quarrel again. The two little guys have been arguing from time to time since they were young, and now they are going to elementary school, but this scene still happens from time to time.

When the world was cast in a haze due to the "Artemis", Qin Yuanqing's popular science article "When Humans Begin to Look Up at the Starry Sky" was also officially announced, and the sales volume broke the record of one million in one month after it was put on the shelves.

Since the official publication of his "When Mankind Begins to Look Up at the Starry Sky" on December 12 last month, it has caused a frenzy, and people have bought it one after another. However, due to insufficient pre-prints, it was sold out in just three days. The publisher had to reprint it, and under such circumstances, it took a month for the sales volume to exceed 1 million copies.

Qin Yuanqing did not expect to make money from publishing books, although this book "When Mankind Begins to Look Up at the Starry Sky" is priced at 100 yuan per copy, Qin Yuanqing's royalties are as high as 20%, and 100 million copies will bring him 2000 million royalties, which is still far away. It is not as good as "The Treasure of the Qin Clan" published ten years ago. Even if it has been more than ten years, the Treasure of the Qin Clan can at least bring Qin Yuanqing hundreds of millions of royalties every year, and the annual sales volume exceeds 500 million copies .

And even including the "Qin's Treasure Book" and the remuneration for reporting his thesis, Qin Yuanqing actually didn't think much of that money, because he made too much money every year.

Now that WeChat Group has officially delisted from the U.S. stock market, after a few months to re-list on the A-share market, his wealth will rise sharply again.

In the "Forbes Rich List" last year, many super rich people saw their net worth shrink significantly, but Qin Yuanqing's wealth still exceeded 2000 billion U.S. dollars, and the couple still ranked first on the world's rich list with a net worth of [-] billion U.S. dollars , once again won the title of the richest man in the world.

It's just that people have been interested, amazed, and shocked about Qin Yuanqing's wealth from the beginning, and now they are completely numb and have no interest at all.

In their view, it is normal for Qin Yuanqing to have a lot of wealth, and they don't feel much about it.Even if he is a super rich man, the first impression Qin Yuanqing gives people is that he is still a scholar!
Yes, the vast majority of people did not regard Qin Yuanqing as a super rich man at all, but a world-renowned scholar.

And a scholar, no matter how much wealth he has, it is the wealth of knowledge, and knowledge is priceless, this principle is common all over the world.

Moreover, Qin Yuanqing's cumulative charitable donations so far have exceeded 2500 billion yuan, benefiting tens of millions of people, and will continue to play a role. In people's eyes, Qin Yuanqing, the "world's best benevolent", is comparable to the "world's richest man". too much.

According to what some netizens said, if rich people can do like Qin Yuanqing, then there will be no "being rich without benevolence" in this world!

Qin Yuanqing didn't make any noise about the news that "When Mankind Begins to Look Up at the Starry Sky" sold over one million copies. Instead, he turned on the TV and watched the upcoming launch of Chang'e-[-]. Since yesterday, the launch of Chang'e-[-] has entered the rhythm of live broadcast .
