Chapter 578 The Space Craze (New Year's Eve is Coming)
After the commendation meeting is over.

Qin Yuanqing, together with several other Nobel Prize winners, officially recommended Xie Daoxin and Huang Zuming to the Nobel Prize jury as candidates for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology.

The reason for Xie Daoxin's recommendation is that his outstanding contribution in the field of plant research has given mankind the hope of getting rid of desertification.The reason for Huang Zuming's recommendation is that he has made outstanding contributions in the field of bacteria, so that human society can be protected from the harm of sewage.

After all, Qin Yuanqing does not need the Nobel Prize to prove anything. He even announced that he would no longer participate in the selection of awards including the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal, but other scholars still need proof of these awards.

Over the years, Chinese people are no longer as difficult to appear on the stage of the Nobel Prize awards as before. Instead, they are regular visitors. Almost every Chinese scientist has won the Nobel Prize.

In such an era of technological explosion, more and more achievements of the Nobel Prize level have been made, and China's influence is getting stronger day by day. The strong influence makes many people no longer dare to take it with them. He looked at Huaxia with colored glasses.

Just as China was preparing for the Spring Festival holiday, a news came from across the ocean, that is, Johnson & Johnson announced that it was conducting a special project called "frozen slow-release agent", which aimed to prevent cell fluid from Freezing punctures cell membranes.

The project is jointly supported by the U.S. Department of Health and NASA, and exists as a sub-project of the refrigerated hibernation chamber project jointly developed by NASA and Space Wordks.

When Qin Yuanqing saw the news, his face didn't change at all. In fact, Huaxia is also carrying out the cryogenic hibernation chamber project, which is a technology prepared for the era of interstellar travel.

During the interstellar travel that lasts for several years, ten years or even decades, if the astronauts have been on the spacecraft, then the astronauts will suffer from mental illness and die of old age when flying in the vast universe.Therefore, some people proposed to develop a dormant cabin. People can sleep in the dormant cabin. When the spacecraft is about to arrive at the destination, the astronauts will be awakened from the dormant cabin. In this way, the physical and mental health of the astronauts can be guaranteed. , It can also ensure that the life of astronauts will not be wasted on useless journeys.

However, Qin Yuanqing saw that such technology is still in the exploratory stage so far, but related companies in the United States are promoting it with great fanfare, as if it can be realized tomorrow. Considering the past period of time, with the continuous hype, the market value of countless aerospace concepts in the United States All the way up, the whole of North America seemed to be caught in a carnival, and countless people could not help but dream back to that night half a century ago.

Qin Yuanqing admitted that the United States has a deep foundation in the aerospace field, and it still has a technical foundation. It has been hundreds of billions of dollars in funding for decades. Come out, such as the detection of Mars, the detection of Mercury, the detection of Jupiter.
However, the United States has turned to the virtual economy since the 20s, playing in finance, and industries have begun to transfer continuously. It has been half a century, and they have stopped doing industries for two generations.

Even the United States has realized the importance of the industry since ten years ago and wanted to bring the industry back, but it is so easy to return the industry. First, the two generations of them did not do the industry, which made the industry hollow, and wanted to build an industrial chain again. It is easier said than done; secondly, the high labor cost makes the products not competitive in the world.

As a result, over the past decade or so, not only has the reflow of industries not been realized, but some high-end companies have lost their international markets, and they have to rely on policies to survive in North America.

Under such circumstances, the current aerospace craze in the United States seems to be extremely unreliable. It is completely advocating bubbles, making stockholders think about investing money in the aerospace field, and will those aerospace companies invest their money in real aerospace? Activities, that is a matter of two knowledge.

Anyway, combined with past news, Qin Yuanqing believes that these are hype, creativity, PPT, and misappropriation of money, just like the Internet field in the past.

Once upon a time, the Internet was like this. Relying on creativity and PPT, you can get millions of dollars in angel investment, and then one day the bubble burst. It took five or six years to slow down.

"If you want to destroy people, you must make them crazy! This statement is true!" Qin Yuanqing shook his head, and no longer paid attention to the news from North America.

When the Chinese people were preparing for the New Year, they were far away across the ocean, in Arizona.

On a barren desert, a Hummer was driving along the road at high speed.

Finally stopped by the side of a road, Musk got off the Hummer, looked over, and saw a white round egg-shaped building next to a canyon, located on the barren desert.

Next to this building, several pieces of engineering equipment were parked, and engineers wearing safety helmets were doing final adjustments around this strangely shaped building.

This is a life capsule specially developed by Space X, which is regarded as the new home of future colonists, and such a life capsule can guarantee that astronauts can spend at least 26 months in it safely.

"Wait until the news of this life capsule is reported, Space Star will get at least 100 billion US dollars in financing!" Musk's face showed a smug look.

Although this building was originally built in the name of Space X, a Star Space Exploration Company named Space Star was officially established not long ago, and this life capsule belongs to the Star Space Exploration Company. No connection to Space X or Musk.

Musk also introduced a professional manager to the table, which is to make a fuss about the life capsule. If you want to develop the moon and Mars, how can you miss the life capsule.

With this life capsule project, even if Xingkong Universe Exploration Company has just been established, it can easily reach tens of billions of dollars when it goes public.

"Those idiots still want to do a good job in the industry, where there is no way to make money quickly!" Musk's eyes flashed with disdain.

As for the bubble in the aerospace industry in the future, what does it matter if all the companies under his command go bankrupt, he is still a rich man.

Regardless of whether it is in Europe, Russia, or China, there is wealth at his disposal, which is enough to guarantee him a wealthy life.

"I hope the 'Return to the Moon Program' will be successful, otherwise," Musk said to himself in a low voice.

Once the "return to the moon plan" fails, the losses will be much greater than last time, just like the Soviet Union's manned moon landing plan failed again and again, it is a fatal blow to the heart, and it will be taken from the soul beat.

In this regard, the United States is the most experienced!
If it was decades ago, we could rely on Hollywood special effects, shoot in special effects tents and then process them with computers. Anyway, communication technology is not developed, and no one knows whether we have landed on the moon. As long as we insist on successfully landing on the moon, then No one can refute.

But it's different now. The satellites are not only in the orbit of the earth, but also in the orbit of the moon. Even China has established a scientific research station on the moon, which will definitely monitor the entire process of the American moon landing spacecraft.

So as long as it is a little fake, it will be exposed immediately, and it will lose face even more.

Musk is a very shrewd person. He is very clear that once the "return to the moon plan" fails, it will be the time when the North American aerospace bubble will burst, and the stocks of countless aerospace companies that are now sought after will become worthless. , countless aerospace companies will go bankrupt and liquidated, and countless people who have become rich will lose everything at once, and they will have nothing.

On Huaxia's New Year's Eve, Huaxia is having a lively reunion dinner, but this time people are not watching the Spring Festival Gala, but watching international news, because in Florida, North America, a BFR rocket will be tested.

At this time, on the central launch pad of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, stood a super rocket as high as a 32-story building.

On the side of this rocket are printed the flag of the United States, the badge of NASA, the logo of space-x, and the three huge letters of bfr.At the same time, in order to take care of several large-scale funders, several Wall Street investment banks that sponsored the plan are also printed below these signs.

For such a huge rocket, it took the staff here nearly a month to send him to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base and complete the assembly.It took another full week to complete the final launch preparations.

With the failure of the "Return to the Moon Program" last time, NASA restarted the "Return to the Moon Program". Naturally, it has to learn a lesson. The launch of the BFR rocket this time is to send the probe to the moon for investigation work, and then return from the moon To the earth, the simulation work of manned landing on the moon is carried out.

The launch this time has attracted the attention of the whole world. After all, the enthusiasm for aerospace is now high. Various countries have great enthusiasm for the aerospace field, and the people are also full of interest in aerospace.

After the ignition order was issued, the billowing smoke swept away instantly, and the 42 raptor engines consumed the liquid oxygen and methane in the fuel chamber at a terrifying speed, providing the entire spacecraft with a terrifying take-off thrust of 128 meganewtons. Pushing the rocket more than [-] meters long, it slowly left the launch pad and launch platform, and galloped towards the blue sky.

The roar of the engine was like the roar of a giant beast.

The behemoth is called chemical propulsion.

Condensed with the most advanced liquid oxygen methane propulsion technology, this giant once again showed the world its strong and powerful arms...

As it sends the probe into the earth's orbit, it means that this launch mission has achieved a preliminary victory, and then it will continue to change orbits and accelerate before entering the earth-moon migration orbit, and the earth-moon migration orbit is the second The stage is also a very important stage. Whether the probe can be sent to orbit around the moon and whether the earth-moon migration orbit can be successfully completed are very important.

　Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy new year with your family on this last day. Happy new year.
