Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 951: You Are A Honorable Opponent (1/4)

Next to a booth somewhere in the exhibition hall, a silver-white giant egg sits there.

The Space-x life-support unit type X-2 is said to have been improved on the basis of the original life-support unit.

Since the failure of Ares, Space-X's collaboration with Blue Origin ended, and after dumping the pan all over Amazon Holdings' Blue Origin, Musk quickly found a new partner for a space technology company based in Seed Island, Japan, which created the X-2 for the moon environment.

There is no doubt that this is a very wise decision.

With the bankruptcy of Ares, a new Mars colonization operation would not be possible in the short term.

Even if Congress could sign the budget bill, the New Virginia Accident Investigation Commission would have repeatedly challenged them on security issues.

Therefore, China is currently the only customer who may be paying for their technology, because only China currently seems to have the need to send people to the moon.

The Pan-Asian High-Tech Innovation and Investment Summit did not exclude North American enterprises, and after obtaining permission to participate in the Summit, Musk asked Space-x people to move this silver “round egg” and even gave it a Chinese cultural name - Tangyuan - in hopes of winning the Chinese liking.

With the deletion of key technologies, the X-2 life-support unit, which is an experiential version only, has a limited number of features and has reduced its footprint by 50 per cent. However, even though the sparrows are tiny and dirty, there is no problem just as a display item. Open hatch doors can even climb in and see how it feels to sleep in an astronaut's bed.

However, unfortunately, while this silver-white rolling circle does attract a lot of sight, it doesn't seem that anyone has the urge to go into the open hatch and take a look.

After all, Ares' plan just failed last year, relying on the rescue of the Chinese spacecraft to barely rescue people, and stabbed the basket of Mars bacteria, saying it was high-tech, that's for sure...

But it's always felt a little less convincing in terms of safety.

This is an inherent impression.

Once a commodity is labeled as failing, whether or not it is because of them, people consciously look down on them.

Leaning next to the booth of Menkero Roach, several journalists were randomly dispatched who were attracted to him, and Musk looked with his arms at those people who had no interest in standing in front of his own corporate booth and said to the white man standing next to him in a boring voice.

“You know what? Bevis, the last thing I regret in my life was that at the Los Angeles Materials Conference a few years ago, I didn't push any harder to leave Professor Lu in Los Angeles..."

The man named Bevis is the number two figure of the Tesla Group.

Though he had nothing to do with Space-X, he was the General Manager of China recently appointed by Musk himself and was considered an admiral in heart., whether it's Tesla factory in Shanghai or some other project, Musk trusted him quite a bit, and he didn't fail to live up to the CEO's expectations and put things in order.

When he heard the boss talking to himself, Bevis retracted his gaze from the convention center and looked at the boss with confusion.

“Has Professor Lu studied space at that time? ”

Musk shook his head: “No, what he was working on was a nanosphere of lithium cathode material, and that technology was exactly what Tesla needed… precisely what new energy companies around the world needed, so I made contact with him and threw olive branches at him. ”

Bevis asked casually, "How many years did you pay him? ”

Musk shook his head with a smile: "His value is not measured by his annual salary, and even then I can see it. I invited him to be my partner in building a new era of dominance in the pure electric car industry… but unfortunately he rejected this great plan. ”

You don't have to say that in Musk, Beavis knows that.

After all, Professor Lu has become a lover and hater of all the purely electric car industries. Love is naturally a positive and negative material for lithium-sulfur batteries he has studied. As for hate...

Naturally because he has the patent.

Looking at the face of a somewhat lonely boss, Bevis comforted himself and said, "There's no way to do this either, he knows his value very well, unlike those nerds who are so ignorant. ”

“But I think anything can actually be talked about," Musk shrugged, "when he was just a professor at Princeton, and maybe he saw the importance of those patents, but I don't believe he can see how far away they are five years later. Maybe I was willing to take out more shares in Tesla, or even SPACE-X, or maybe we're the ones standing on the moon waiting for someone else to come and pick it up. ”

“I don't object to your statement, but honestly I don't really like the word you use... we don't like Chinese people, we're just normal business cooperation," Bevis opened his mouth and drew a right index finger ratio, "all based on mutual benefit and reciprocity. ”

Musk waved and interrupted Bevis, “I know, but sometimes I just can't help but think that if I could be reborn ten years ago...”

However, before the end of the sentence, a sound that was not familiar but seemed to have been heard somewhere, floated from side to side, interrupting the speech to half.

“This is an interesting idea, but I think you'd better not think about it, even if you gave me the whole Space-X company, and I'd go home eventually. ”

Turning back sharply, looking at the two people walking to the booth, Musk's eyes narrowed slightly.

“The Ark? ”

As for the man next to the ark, it should be President Gong of AIIB, who, although unfamiliar, has met several times.

“Yes, Mr. Musk, it's good to see you again… this is probably the second time.” Looking at the look of the unexpected Musk, the ark smiled and extended its right hand.

Moving back to the face of the divine Musk also revealed a smile, grasping the right hand extended by the ark and shaking it.

“... yeah, long time no see. I've actually always wanted to visit you and tell you personally that you're a respectable opponent. ”

“Each other, you are also a respectable opponent to me," he said with a glance at the silver-white giant egg behind Musk, "to be honest, your aggressive actions on the Mars plan really surprised me. Even if our astronauts were ready to sacrifice at any time, we never considered sending them to Mars, tens of millions of kilometres away, without ensuring their lives. ”

It was still comforting to hear the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the latter, his expression suddenly became a little awkward.

“Are you here to shake me down? ”

Ark: “No, I was just passing by. ”

Musk: "…”

That honest face really doesn't seem like a joke.

As the Ark said, he was just passing by.

However, it is precisely for this reason that the feeling of not being placed in the position of a competitor by one's own powerful enemies has sparked a fire in Musk's mind.

Focker!

If not at the convention center!

If it's not in China!

He really wants to punch this nasty face.

But obviously...

That's impossible.
