Global monopoly of technology

The meeting continued to discuss, and then Luo Sheng made a decision that shocked the audience.

"I intend to open source the data of the'Star Arrow' heavy rocket, including historical data of previous launches, landing gear, payload information, etc., to the world."

Yang Jianan was stunned when he heard his decision: "What? Open source "Star Arrow" data? Are you sure you are right?"

Luo Sheng nodded affirmatively: "I am pretty sure that we open source these data and share it with people all over the world for research or application, and we will not prosecute them, which means we use our intellectual property for free.

The others hadn’t reacted yet, but Yang Jian’an was anxious on the spot, and suddenly shook his hands in a loud voice that seemed to tremble: “I object, these precious core data are the results of our painstaking research. Some The technology even we are leading, how can we directly open and share it to the world?"

Lao Yang is really anxious, not to mention that the project team has been fighting for the past five years just to catch up and lead the world. If you don’t understand Luo Sheng for a while, let’s take a step back and say that Luo Sheng has also smashed a lot of funds in. Ah, just one sentence makes the whole world go whoring for nothing?

If you take another ten thousand steps back, do you charge a fee?Is it a great selfless act to directly give prostitutes all over the world or is it really stupid?

Everyone’s reaction Luo Sheng had already expected. Academician Yang Jian’an’s reaction was as expected. He immediately said to him: “Old Yang, I decided that open source data is not to underestimate or disapprove the results of you and the entire project team. It was a decision based on the long-term strategic consideration of Star Arrow International."

Yang Jianan said bluntly: "What strategic considerations require such selfless contributions?"

Luo Sheng knew that this was unacceptable to Yang Jian’an, so he patiently explained: “There are several reasons for the decision to open source: relying only on Star Arrow International and even private aerospace such as Blue Origin, SpaceX and Orbital Science. The company can't do much of the entire market. This is the first; open source allows industry insiders across the country and the world to research and even apply to create more talent bases. The more talents we need, the better. This is the second; Arrow International’s technology has its own independent system. When the world is using our technology, it will have to use our standards in the future and rely on us fundamentally. This is the third."

Yang Jian'an and the others looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Sheng dubiously.

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile, adding: "The seventh chapter of the "Tao De Jing" says: The sky is long and the earth is long. The reason why the sky and the earth are long is that they can not live on themselves, so they can live forever. It is after the saint. And live first, outside of the body. It is not based on selflessness and evil, so it can become selfishness. More than two thousand years ago, Lao Tzu has already expressed the mystery of'selflessness is real selfishness'. Only by putting down oneself can oneself be achieved. It must be open source."

After Luo Sheng said this, everyone involuntarily re-evaluated his open source decision in their hearts, because it does make sense, but this decision requires great courage.

Yang Jianan hesitated to say something but stopped: "But..."

Luo Sheng added: "Lao Yang, Star Arrow International has already explained the problem since the establishment of the name. We are focusing on the technological trend in the next 30 years. Under this framework, recyclable rockets are nothing but Human beings are moving towards deep-space exploration with phased over-technologies. Cheap space shuttles are more advantageous. Aerospace planes that can travel to and from the atmosphere for efficient space activities will be stronger than recoverable rockets in the future."

Luo Sheng paused, and continued: "It should make the best use of its materials, and let its true historical role be used for my use, and that is to serve the higher strategic needs, which is the space ladder. Once the future ladder is successfully constructed It is time for recyclable rocket technology to withdraw from the stage of history. This is an inevitable trend in history, and the market will eliminate it. On this point, we have no reason to hold on to a future that will be replaced in the foreseeable 30 years. Technology is a treasure, not to mention that we already have something better."

Luo Sheng has already made a decision to open source. It is useless for anyone to oppose it. Even if Yang Jian'an chooses not to do it, he will continue to implement it unswervingly. However, as the head of "Star Arrow", Luo Sheng still has to persuade as much as possible He, let him accept this fact, and still hope that he will continue to lead the team to overcome the difficulties of the "Star Arrow 20S" super-heavy recoverable rocket technology.

Changing coaches is a troublesome thing after all.

The participants also saw that Luo Sheng was determined to make this decision and open source Star Arrow data to the world.

Yang Jianan bowed his head and sighed a long sigh, and said helplessly: "What you said is not unreasonable, it is this decision that makes people feel uncomfortable, and it has been so painful to make it out... alas~"

Facing Mr. Yang’s sentimental remarks, Luo Sheng expressed his understanding with a silent attitude. The silent attitude also shows that open source is a strategy that the company must execute, and will not change the company's strategy because of sensibility.

In the end, Yang Jianan turned to Luo Sheng: "Okay, I don't oppose you. Anyway, even if I oppose it, I can't stop you. You don't have to worry about my emotions and choose not to do it, but you have to increase the follow-up funds. I don’t feel bad about money anymore."

In fact, whether the technology is open source or not will not affect Yang Jian'an's honor and personal achievements as the head of the "Star Arrow" project, and even on the contrary, it will further expand his reputation in the industry, including his influence.

When Luo Sheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and nodding: "Haha, this is okay. I have money left for the poor. The research funding of'Star Arrow 20S' not only has to be in line with NASA's SLS, but it is even worse. The SLS budget starts at 2 billion U.S. dollars a year, and I give 3 billion U.S. dollars a year to the 20S budget. How about Mr. Yang, is this enough for you?"

Without him, only Chandall.

When the management at the meeting heard this, they rolled their eyes and slandered secretly: "Listen to human words?"

But then again, everyone found that they couldn't refute Luo Sheng's words. The least valuable thing on him now is money. Is this a man with "money ability"...

Yang Jianan couldn't help but hesitate for a moment when he heard this number, and said: "So many...a bit too much, not so much, I just made a joke just now."

The point is that this is not a glorious thing. Scientists are also temperamental, even careful, and they like to compete in their own professions. Yang Jianan also knows that SpaceX's Falcon rocket research and development funds only spent 500 million US dollars. The capital utilization rate is really exaggerated.

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Then Mr. Yang, you can quote a price, you can say as much as you want."

Hearing this, Yang Jianan pondered for a moment and said: "Let's reduce it by 500 million. The annual budget of 2.5 billion US dollars should be enough. If you can save it, you can save it. Nobody's money is brought by the wind. God knows how much money will be charged in the future. "

An executive at the meeting thought: "No, Mr. Yang, you are wrong. The money in the hands of the big boss is basically the same as the wind blowing."

Luo Sheng immediately made a decision: "Well, the annual budget of 2.5 billion US dollars, that's it."

Although there were differences in the decision to open source data during the discussion, the final result was a consensus. The most critical Yang Jianan supported Luo Sheng's decision, and there was no reason for others to oppose it.

...

Five days later, the popularity of Star Arrow International has receded, but after Luo Sheng's open source data sharing worldwide news was posted on Star Arrow International's official website, he returned to the headlines of the world's major news websites on the same day.

All of a sudden, the media and aerospace circles were shocked.

The rocket is a cutting-edge technology in the eyes of ordinary people. It can only be played by the investment of national-level power, and it is a highly confidential core high-tech.

Private companies build rockets, which in the eyes of most people should be unthinkable, but Luo Sheng not only thought about it, but also made it.

Now it is even more shocking. Not only did he make it, he also shared the data open source to the world just after making it. This kind of core technology, which should be highly confidential in most eyes, was so generous by him. The announcements are published on the entire network, and anyone can check, research, and even apply at a glance.

To put it simply, I have published the answer to the whole network. You can just copy the homework directly. It is simple and easy to say, the most important thing is to save money.

The open source data is the result of tens of billions of dollars.

Star Arrow International has announced that the open source data published by the company can be researched and applied for free by all scientific research institutions, universities, enterprises or private individuals in the world. Star Arrow International will not charge any intellectual property licensing fees.

With this statement, people all over the world can feel confident and bold without worrying about being sued by Star Arrow International in the future.
