Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 1979 Today is different from the past

When he saw the eight astronauts were eating, meditating, or communicating with their friends and family, Li Jian, the head of the command center, slowly withdrew his gaze and thoughts.

Like the usual lunar launch crew configuration, the eight astronauts' space suits are equipped with the previous generation of carbon-based chip modules developed by the company's semiconductor department. They can not only provide positioning and navigation, but also retain a special drug delivery device. Once a crisis situation occurs, the device will automatically start and inject the astronauts with a magical drug that can temporarily preserve their body functions.

After many tests, this artifact can help astronauts increase their survival time by another 30 seconds in an oxygen-free and low-temperature environment.

Although thirty seconds is only the time to watch two small advertisements, in outer space, thirty seconds is enough for astronauts to take rescue action in critical moments.

However, for this launch mission, all engineers, including Li Jian, did not know that there was a small spacecraft in the cargo hold of the lunar spacecraft. If a special situation really occurred, Gu Qing would enter the safe spacecraft first and then enter the orbit back to the Kyushu Space Station.

When Jiuzhou Technology was launching its moon landing mission, the rocket operating system was hijacked by hackers and the Pacific island countries announced problems with the rocket launch one after another... But now, perhaps because Jiuzhou Xinghai Company has relented, or perhaps because Daxia has one more aircraft carrier, or perhaps because there are many more foreigners working in Daxia than ten years ago, now after the launch of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's rocket, the Blue Planet is peaceful.

A wealthy man was watching the lunar lander in the live broadcast room of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company. It was like a tiny flying insect flying through the space, but the dangerous scenes he experienced last year emerged in his mind.

He said to his daughter with emotion: "At that time, I was anxiously driving the U8 towards our refuge villa. On the way, I asked my assistant in an imperative tone to help me sell all light assets and invest my money in the three companies of Daxia Chengfei, Xi'an Aircraft Industry, and Suiren Technology.

At that time, my assistant advised me to trust the judgment of professionals and trust the Federal Reserve and a certain Pentagon.

But he forgot that I am an old guy who started from scratch and has worked in the industry for many years. Over the past few decades, I have seen the Federal Reserve lie and deceive us countless times, and I have also seen the Pentagon lose in important battles.

So instead of trusting other people, I chose to trust myself.”

"Dad, you were making such an important decision at that time. I still remember you called Mom and told her that if the traffic was too congested, we should find a tall building with a helipad nearby and have the company's helicopter pick us up.

It’s so scary to think about it now. There were gunshots everywhere in the streets. My classmates told me that many people were shot and killed in the chaos in civilian communities. Pharmacies, jewelry stores and other shops were looted, and even a hospital was set on fire with gasoline.

The whole world is like hell.”

  The rich man stroked his daughter's hair, turned his head and looked at the Daxia signs on the streets outside the window, and smiled: "So hell and heaven have always existed in this world. Just like who could have thought that after clearing out all my light assets and account balances, I not only did not go bankrupt, but my wealth doubled by leaps and bounds?

Besides, we came to Daxia to live here early. You are studying in an international school. Are you not used to the sound of gunfire? "

"Dad, the teacher said we should love peace. A few days ago we visited the Daxia Memorial Hall of the last century. Guns and artillery are really too dangerous. I hope that you, mom, and all our friends and relatives will never hear gunshots or see flames again."

"Hahaha, my dear daughter, if the flames hadn't been burning, we wouldn't have been able to watch Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's live broadcast of the moon landing today."

"Well, then only moon rockets are allowed to burn with flames."

"Hahahaha, okay, my princess."

Peace is always precious, but many people are unwilling to see beautiful peace.

In the office building of SpaceX, Mask looked at the person on the screen in front of him, nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry, we will certainly support all decisions of NASN and help NASA join the Lunar Development Association. Of course, it is our duty..."

  "Well, I hope you and your company's engineering team can understand our decision. We must use all available resources to enter the space battlefield as soon as possible. We must not only build a base on the moon, but also launch our space station, and even develop the moon and Mars!

These goals are consistent with your company and your expectations.

Of course, I can promise you that when NASA joins the Lunar Development Association, the resources and data we obtain will be shared with your company..."

"It is an honor for our company and my personal fortune to serve our country and the great cause of our mankind..."

After some pleasantries, the video call finally ended.

After making sure that the camera had stopped working and there was no one else in the channel, Mask exited the channel and covered the camera with a piece of paper.

call……

After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes again, and Mask's eyes immediately became like two different people.

He turned on the microphone and said to his assistant in a sinister tone, "Has Jiuzhou Xinghai Company given a response?"

Soon, a voice came: "Jiuzhou Xinghai Company gave a reply. In view of the individual technical failures of our company and Jiuzhou Moon Landing Project, our cooperation application is temporarily rejected. In addition, Zhou Yi, the president of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, clearly stated that -"

The assistant paused for a moment before continuing, "He believes that the technology and equipment our company possesses are highly overlapping with those of NASA. Considering that they are currently discussing cooperation with NASA, they will not consider it until our company's technology and equipment are independent..."

call……

When Mask heard the news, his breathing became heavier.

Then he asked, "How is the situation with the engineering team?"

The assistant thought of the documents submitted by the engineering team, and his expression became more anxious and hesitant.

"The engineering team is still sorting out documents, learning patented technologies and equipment operation. Because many of them have just joined the team, it will take some time before they can proceed to the next stage of work."

Like Microsoft, Google and other companies, SpaceX has also experienced multiple layoffs, and even the members of its core engineering team have changed.
