Global monopoly of technology

Technology complex building.

Luo Shengzheng stayed in his private office alone.

"Xiao Na, create a new index file, the name is...Star Arrow International."

After pondering for a while, Luo Sheng determined the name of his private space exploration technology company, which is called "Star Arrow International", which is to serve the world.

In the next few days, Luo Sheng personally went to deal with the establishment of Star Arrow International, because it was not a regular business registration procedure, which was regarded as a special pilot by the state for private aerospace companies.

The registered capital of Star Arrow International is 1.5 billion yuan, about 220 million US dollars. Luo Sheng did not have friends from La Wall Street to play with the establishment of this new company.

It's impossible now. I just have conflicts just not long ago, and I can't play it all together.

However, it is not entirely a sole proprietorship. Shengfeng Capital, Bluestar Technology, and Azure Coast are all major shareholders of Star Arrow International. They account for 30% of the shares according to the proportion of investment, and Luo Sheng owns 10% of the shares. Do not interfere with any operating rights of Star Arrow International, that is to say, from the legal sense, his three companies are all financial investments made by Star Arrow International.

Anyway, the left hand is exchanged for the right hand, but the biggest purpose of this shareholding model is to closely contact each other.

Another purpose is to transfer personnel from the three companies, which seems logical, otherwise, for example, from Bluestar Technology's transfer of important engineers, shareholders will be dissatisfied with Luo Sheng's behavior that harms public and private interests, and also It's really unreasonable.

After the three companies invested in Starship International, there would be no problems in this regard, which is equivalent to opening up the three main arteries of talents, resources, and funds to ensure that the company can be quickly established at the start-up stage.

It's easy to say, but the top-level design of the enterprise is still very complicated. Fortunately, Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu can easily handle these things.

Luo Sheng has identified four major directions for Star Arrow International, namely aerospace technology research, space technology research, launch vehicle technology research and new material research.

With the passage of time, Star Arrow International completed the establishment of the company’s articles of incorporation and framework in just half a month. The number of formal employees reached 330, of which 300 were scientists or engineers, and Luo Sheng served as the post The position of CEO.

Most of these employees are transferred from the Blue Coast Laboratory and Bluestar Technology, but this is far from enough. It is necessary to recruit talents in the aerospace field from outsiders, and they are global.

"Sheet..."

At this time, Elon Musk, who was sitting at home, was a little unhappy to see the title of the "Washington Post" article.

[The past space competition was between countries, but we may have come to the edge of an international-scale private space competition in the 21st century.]-"Washington Post" front page headline.

The content report is impressively the news that Luo Sheng established Star Arrow International, the company referred to as "SAI", which is the first private space company in China.

What makes Musk very upset is that Luo Sheng will compete with his Tesla and SpaceX at the same time this year. Although the new energy car companies under the Cote d’Azur and the current Star Arrow International are just established, Elon Musk takes it seriously.

It also includes Star Arrow International, which is now known.

First of all, it can be determined that a disadvantage is a financial disadvantage. Don't look at Star Arrow International's registered capital of only about 200 million US dollars, but Musk knows that no boss in the world today is richer than Luo Sheng.

The only place he feels the advantage is that his company has been established for almost ten years, and in the aerospace field, North American and European and American companies currently dominate the market.

But Elon Musk dare not care at all. Luo Sheng is always able to create miracles. His entry also largely means that the aerospace industry on the other side of the Pacific is likely to emerge in terms of diversification and specialization. More and more industry leaders with innovative minds have emerged.

One of the challenges that the major global carriers are likely to face in the future is low-cost competition from Chinese companies.

After all, what Europeans and Americans hate the Chinese people most is that they enter an industry and can use their large-scale and matching products to produce super-large-scale products, and then make cabbage prices.

I really hate the appearance of such competitors.

Technology complex building.

"Master, you have received an email from a professor at Qinghua University, I hope you can invest in his scientific research projects and have some crazy ideas."

Just as Luo Sheng finished the work at hand, Xiaona's voice responded.

"Call it out and take a look." Luo Sheng said, and then turned his head to look at the computer screen next to him. He didn't do anything, but the display panel automatically jumped out of the mail content interface under Xiaona's hosting.

"Research on carbon nanomaterials?" Luo Sheng was curious at first, so he continued to read.

The sender is Jianwei Liu, from Qinghua University. He described in the email that he and his research team had achieved a major theoretical breakthrough in the field of super-strong carbon nanotube fibers, indicating that they have close to a single carbon nano-management theory. Method for preparing ultra-long carbon nanotube bundles.

But there is no money, and I cannot apply for funding.

"Wow...Liu Jianwei? Roasted...it really is him!!!" When Luo Sheng saw the last description of Liu Jianwei's email, his eyes lit up, and at the same time he brought his thoughts back to the memory of his previous life. .

The scenes in my mind gradually emerged from the Southeast Asian generation, to be precise, in Indonesia, an island called Linjia County in the equatorial region.

This is an archipelago. One of the islands was contracted by a Chinese company. At the same time, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries and more than 50 domestic and foreign group companies were involved. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Group led the construction of the island. The super project of a century is also the most expansive space project in human history, with an investment budget of RMB 5 trillion.

Luo Sheng still remembers that the super project of this century was started in 2031, which is the first two years of his journey through rebirth. Within two years, the island built a 1,298-meter-high sky tower base, which became the tallest in the world at that time Man-made buildings.

At the same moment, in outer space, after the transformation of the Tianzhou space station, it gradually rose from a low-altitude orbit to a geosynchronous orbit of 36,000 kilometers.

A new space station was launched in the middle section, and the space coordinate point is the balance point between gravity and the centrifugal force of outer space.

The base of the Tianta on the equator and the Tianzhou in outer space will be connected with the Tianzhou and Tianzhou by a cable composed of a 36,000-meter tensile and qualified carbon nanotube new material, thus becoming the first in human history. A space ladder.

However, Luo Sheng did not see the day when the space ladder was completed, because it will be reborn in 2033, but he knows that this international space project led by China at that time is expected to take 15 years and it will take three steps. Strategy to complete.

The purpose of creating a space ladder is to reduce the cost of space activities, because the economic cost of recoverable rockets is still high, and mankind still has not achieved controllable fusion technology in 2033.

That's why the international project of the "Ladder" project led by Hua Guo.

And Indonesia simply couldn't refuse. At that time, Indonesia was facing three strong competitors from South America, namely Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.

The four locations provided by the four candidate countries are Linjia County in Indonesia, Hama in Ecuador, Tumaco in Colombia and Santa Ana in Brazil.

After various trade-offs, China chose Linjia County in Indonesia for the completion of the ground tower base.

In fact, the reason is also very simple. The other three countries are in Latin America. That is the back garden of the old American home. Moreover, the emperor is far away, so he is very unsure.

And Indonesia in Southeast Asia is at home.

At the time of the bidding, the four countries were in a fierce battle, because the economic benefits brought by it were simply inestimable. You must know that the base of the sky tower on the ground is actually the space port leading to space. Goods transportation to and from the ground and space have to pass through here, and the Strait of Malacca is next door.

Once the space ladder is successfully constructed, Indonesia's economic development can take off.

The three-step strategy of the ladder is also very clear. The first step is to build the ground tower base and the construction of the space port, which is relatively easy; the second step is to complete the transformation of the Tianzhou space station; the third step is to send it on. At the second space station, the cable is sent into space at the same time, and then the cable is gradually connected to the ground tower by using the towed space return capsule from space combined with satellite positioning and navigation.

At this point, Tianta has basically succeeded.

It is worth mentioning that no matter how powerful the reality technology is, it is an unrealistic fantasy to build an Optimus Prime that is 36,000 kilometers straight through the sky and the universe. It is impossible to do it with the power of the country. At the same time, because the mass of the structure itself is incredible, and The center of gravity is unstable, it is easy to break and collapse, and it consumes materials.

Therefore, China's "Space Elevator" project is to build a gravity-free space station fortress on space orbit, and then use a rope to hang down to the ground to connect with the base of the sky tower, thereby pulling people or things into space.

Simply put, there are three parts, the ground tower base, the rope, and the space station in orbit.

The most important part is the research and development of the rope, and it is also the most difficult new material breakthrough research and development.

Because it is necessary to connect the cable between space and the ground, it is required to be able to withstand the pull of the ground gravity and the centrifugal force of space at the same time, and it can also ensure that the rope is cut in half even when the rope is hit by a missile, a strong ground storm, or an aircraft. , But the rope can still maintain vertical tension without swaying continuously.

Only nanomaterials can do this.

The person who made breakthroughs in new materials was named Liu Jianwei!

It took him and his team more than 30 years to overcome the material problem. The carbon nanotubes they developed have a stretching capacity of 300GPa, which is far more than four times the tensile strength required by the space ladder. It also laid a key material foundation for the birth of the space ladder.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was browsing the e-mail, suddenly couldn't stop his heart surging, and muttered to himself: "After more than 20 years, this ladder is built by my company. Take the lead, maybe under my impetus, the time may be far ahead."

But for a while, Luo Sheng finished thinking and made a decision, and then wrote a letter personally and sent it to Liu Jianwei.

...

(Ps: In reality, there is indeed a Tsinghua team that has produced carbon nanotubes of this strength, breaking the world record, but the length is only half a meter, and the team also dreams of the imagination of a space ladder, 36,000 kilometers and 0.5 meters, There is a long way to go. It can be said that before the controllable nuclear fusion is illuminated, the only thing that can popularize space activities is the space elevator, which is called the space elevator here.

Do you think the protagonist will be swollen in the future to enter the space real estate? 2333~~)
