Chapter 703: The Silicon Valley Star of Tomorrow?

California, USA.

Luxury house in Bel-Air district.

Two champagne and half a box of pizza Musk were removed from the refrigerator, and the runaway song sent the pizza to the microwave, then returned to sit by the couch with the champagne, grabbed the remote and turned on the TV and waited quietly for the show to begin.

In about an hour, the most popular football game in the United States.

However, that was not his concern.

It's Columbia TV news before the football game.

While Silicon Valley high-tech practitioners tend to choose more current news access, such as Twitter or Facebook, the upcoming news is of extraordinary significance to Musk.

Because in a minute, the Space-X logo will appear in the center of the screen.

The moderator of the news channel of Columbia Television will shortly cover his speech at the Space-X press conference and the interviews he will receive after the conference.

And by the end of the day, a BFR superrocket with 42 Raptor engines will detonate the whole Silicon Valley story, and the technology of a liquid oxymethane engine will completely rewrite the history of space, and Franklin's paper will be flowing from Wall Street like snowflakes.

This feeling was more pleasant to him than becoming an international star.

Though he doesn't know what it's like to be an international star...

“Let's win,” unhooked the bottle cap of champagne, Musk poured over the top of the living room table, watched the Columbia TV news show already started, picked up and lifted with a smile, "Cheers! ”

News show begins.

As he expected, the concept diagram of the BFR rocket is presented in the center of the screen. By quoting an interview with NASA experts in partnership with Space-X, the news soon came to the forefront, presenting the audience with Space-X's Moon Base Concept Map and the Mars Colonial Plan to be launched in 2024.

Drinking champagne and watching TV, at this point, a tinkle came from the microwave.

Thinking of the pizza he had just heated, Musk left the couch, quickly walked to the kitchen and put the pizza in the plate, then quickly walked back to the living room.

At this time, however, there was a slight surprise in the news that was being broadcast.

“Mr. Musk, chairman and CEO of Space-X, said that they would be testing the BFR rocket for the first time this year -” Just halfway through, I saw a hand suddenly reaching out from the edge of the lens in the alias of the TV and handing over a piece of paper to the host sitting in front of the studio stage.

After seeing the content on the paper, the host's face suddenly gave a surprising look.

After a brief surprise, she took a deep breath and slowed down her speech.

“Sorry, there's a news story on the air...”

“Just about two hours and fifty minutes ago, the Xiangrui Sky Shuttle carrying China's latest electric propulsion system was successfully launched at the Jinling City Launch Center. ”

“This news was first reported on CTV and confirmed by official Chinese media such as Everyone's Daily News. We are in the process of contacting NASA to confirm the authenticity of the message and have not received a clear response at this time… Please keep an eye on our news for follow-up reports…"

Hot pizza pounded from the mouth to the floor, with cheese and Italian meat paste on the floor.

Looking at the images on the TV, Musk sitting on the couch didn't pick them up and didn't even realize what was happening.

At this moment his brain has completely shut down and is in a state of obsession.

The Cheung Rui?

Electric propulsion?

Is there a mistake?

The news continues to be shown, followed by reports of his Space-X, as well as the BFR ship.

But at this moment, he's not even interested in Pimi, even if he's one of the designers of the ship...

Taking his phone out of his pocket, he quickly logged onto Twitter and started searching for information about the Cheung Sui.

Predictably, he didn't find anything useful, after all, until a few hours ago, when Startech didn't even say anything about the Xiangrui publicly, not even a little bit about it.

Instead, almost the entire Silicon Valley was talking about the Xiangrui in a tone of amazement or shock.

Turning off the phone silently and watching the news as it was over, Musk muttered to himself.

“Jesus-Christ…”

Until he regained consciousness, he picked up the champagne bottle and gathered it on his lips, and realized that the bottle's lid had not been opened...

……

It's not just Americans who are shocked.

The news was most shocking, of course, to the Chinese themselves.

The first time Cheung Rui entered the orbit peacefully, he waited for the Central Vision reporter at Jinling Ground Command to send the message back to Shanghai. At the behest of the Central High Level, CTV soon sent greetings to Jinling and the Xiangrui, which was operating in near-Earth orbit, and broadcast news of the success of the launch throughout the country, offering a gift to the people of the country who were celebrating New Year's Day.

Of course, not everyone is cheering for the news.

There are also a lot of people who have headaches about this.

Bureau of Science and Technology.

Office of the Director.

Director Li, with his cell phone in his hand, is picking up a call from the Jinling Space Launch Center.

When I heard the ark go up with the shuttle, the smile that was still hanging on my face was frozen. One of my right hands didn't hold it steady, and Duang smashed his phone on the table and almost didn't go underground.

Panicked to pick up the phone from the corner of the table, Director Li couldn't even check if the screen had broken, put the phone in his ear and asked abruptly.

“What, Professor Lu went up with the Cheung Rui? ”

Hou Guang on the other side of the phone swallowed his mouth and spat.

“Yes… yes. ”

“No, you don't have a test on your launch? How come none of you saw a living person so big?! ”

“The examination was, of course, carried out, but... Professor Lu was probably mixed in himself. ”

Director Li felt his eyes were dark and he almost didn't faint.

Fortunately, he was holding onto the table without falling.

Slowly he returned to his office chair, strangling himself with his left hand and saying with a headache.

“What about him now? ”

“… with the plane. ”

Director Li couldn't bear to shout out loud: “Nonsense! I know he's with the plane. Can't he just throw people away? I'm asking about him. How's he doing? Nothing wrong with that, huh? ”

“No, the Cheung Rui is very stable, and according to the pilot, Professor Lu seems to have practiced at home. ”

Nima, my ancestors...

Director Li's black line on his face only gave him a headache.

He can handle other people, but it's not even half the time he meets this guy.

“I'm fine, I'm fine...”

Repeating the sentence several times, Director Li took a deep breath and hung up.

Standing up from the chair and walking around the office for a few laps, he slapped his thigh, grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair and put it on, then looked at the secretary sitting at the desk at the door.

“Cho, buy me a high-speed ticket! ”

“Recent shifts are required. ”

“To Jinling! ”
