Super technology leader

When the two astronauts of Star Pilot drove the "Dart X" orbital shuttle to land on the runway smoothly and walked out of the terminal building through the boarding bridge, they were treated like heroes.

The flash light flashed, and the reporter stretched out the microphone with "aow wailing" just to hear a sentence before the official press conference.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Everything has to be done in accordance with the process. Neither astronaut will answer their questions individually.

But those reporters can see a lot from the walking posture and facial expressions of the two astronauts.

For example, the astronauts have a calm body, calm expressions, and no discomfort after returning from space.

Although their time in space is not long, but this calm feeling...

It's not like acting.

The thinking of the reporters at the scene was very active.

"Navigator's company this time is really awesome."

"It seems that the comfort of the shuttle is indeed very high. I wonder if there is a chance to sit in the name of interview and publicity?"

"I really want to go to space, too. Unfortunately, I can't even buy a ticket. By the way, I heard that they have a lottery. Maybe I can try it."

"I have to find a chance to dig some real hard materials. Maybe I can try to hide in their company. After all, when I was promoted to a formal reporter, the newspaper specially asked the scouts to teach us to hide. Yes, I just lurked in the grass outside. I don’t know if it will be possible, but it’s worth a try.”

Tang Chao didn't know that the current newspaper office was so fierce that he even trained his reporters as a scout teacher. In order to engage in news, he did all the tricks.

The two astronauts did not rest or did any inspections. The new in-vehicle spacesuits they wore had a vital sign recording system, and various important parts of the body were equipped with sensing devices. The final data would be concentrated in the chest recording module.

These data will be reflected on the personal terminal in real time, and will be displayed in the command hall and medical center when performing various tasks. In the event of an accident, experts will tell them what to do at any time.

Of course, this distance should be relatively close. If the distance is too far and the communication delay is too serious, the experts can only give some important suggestions. Real-time things can only be solved by the team doctor.

But those are not in a hurry, it's still early, let's solve today's press conference first.

The first manned mission of the orbital shuttle was very successful, but Tang Chao said that there are still some things to test, so there are probably several manned tests.

If this is the case for ordinary private aerospace companies, they would definitely not dare to play this way. After all, a manned spacecraft launches hundreds of millions of dollars at a time, and several tests cost a lot.

The Navigator has no such worries. There are three or five manned tests, and the total cost is not as much as that of other companies. So they can also test the limits of the shuttle as much as possible, and try to bring them to future passengers. Sense of security.

After three or five tests, enough tests should be able to prove the safety of the shuttle. By then, the shuttle driver and passengers shouldn’t need to wear helmets, and it’s time for the shuttle to be officially put into commercial operation.

The protagonists of today’s press conference are the two private astronauts and the big boss Tang Chao, especially Tang Chao. Although the two private astronauts have entered space, they have always been mysterious compared to Tang Chao, who has always appeared as a chief technology officer. The boss, the boss is more topical.

After all, the previous space tourists can also be regarded as private astronauts in a sense, so the media don't take them seriously.

In other words, it is not so important.

The reporter also asked them many things, but didn't ask Tang Chao too much.

It is estimated that when they land on the moon as private astronauts, it will be the first group of private astronauts to land on the moon. There will be more attention to them. Now, Tang Chao, a decision maker and technology provider, is the one they want to interview most. People.

"Mr. Tang, will'Dart X'be converted into a space fighter?"

"Mr. Tang, what do you think of the current space situation? Will you reach a cooperative relationship with Meriken?"

"Mr. Tang, do you think humans can fight aliens? If there is a war between humans and aliens, where do you feel the first shot would be fired?"

"Mr. Tang, is your company's orbital shuttle for sale? If you do, please sell me one. Money is not a problem."

When everyone heard it, hey, which reporter was so loud?

Are you planning to sensationalize and engage in news fever?

Turning his head to see, the man was dressed in a white robe and a white turban. The white turban was encircled by a black circle, and he had a beautifully corrected beard.

Oh, from the Petroleum Union, that's all right.

carry on.

"Mr. Tang, I don’t know what your company’s future plans for space tourism are? Do you use the orbital shuttle to develop the space tourism industry alone, or will you sell the entire orbital shuttle for other space tourism companies to buy and enter the full development of space? What about tourism?"

"Mr. Tang, what's the progress of your company's "Starry Sky Inn" space station? When will we be able to live in a real commercial space hotel in space?"

The reporters’ questions were the same as the Gatlin machine gun. Of course, Tang Chao couldn’t answer all of them. He picked up questions that he felt good to answer, especially the Petroleum Alliance, and answered by name.

This is a big customer.

In order to get rid of its name of "only selling oil", the Petroleum Alliance has been relying on the names of "Technology City" and "Future City" in recent years.

In order to get this kind of reputation, the investment in science and technology will certainly not be small, but they have few people in the country and can't support a systematic technology chain at all, so something like the Petroleum Alliance Mars Rover appeared.

Roughly speaking, the Petroleum Alliance will provide money, Meriken will provide technology and deep-space measurement and control network, and Sakura will provide rockets.

Although they exaggerated how much they have participated in and how many space talents they have cultivated for the alliance through this plan, everyone knows what the actual situation is.

There are few people in the elementary school, and there are talents and funds that can't play a complete space system.

Of course, considering systemization, that is the configuration of a large country. Given the current state of globalization, some "exquisite small countries" can only do a strategy that highlights technology.

So how to put it, no matter what, the phenomenon of the Petroleum Alliance frantically rushing to the domestic technology products appeared.

So the world's largest high-tech buyers appeared, and they were still buyers who were absolutely willing to spend money.

Following this question, Tang Chao talked about the operation of the orbital shuttle.

There are three in total.

The first is the newly established Interstellar Pilot Space Tourism Department, which is specifically responsible for space tourism and will use the company's self-produced orbital shuttle to start the era of real human space tourism.

The second is the sale of the orbital shuttle. The standard version of the orbital shuttle is sold, and there are no restrictions. Anyone can buy it.

The third is to train private astronauts and conduct assessments on them. After passing the assessment, a professional certificate will be given to prove that you are a qualified orbital shuttle driver.

This business is more for those wealthy private individuals and commercial aerospace companies, who can train shuttle pilots for them, or if private wealthy people want to drive orbital shuttles by themselves, they can train and obtain certification here.

Moreover, the orbital shuttles sold also provide modification services, which can be converted into luxury space yachts for the rich.

If the rich are not going to take full passengers, the rail shuttle can be changed quite luxuriously.

Now Tang Chao speaks and works well, because he is not only the chief technology officer of StarNavigator, but also the boss of the company.

The reporters were shocked when they heard the news, and those who watched the live broadcast were even more shocked.

Especially other companies preparing to develop space tourism.

Companies that just want to go in this direction are fortunate to say that they are mostly happy, because compared to other planned manned equipment, the competitiveness of orbital shuttles is undoubtedly the greatest. So if you want to develop in this area, sell orbital shuttles. That's right.

And those companies that have completed self-research or are self-researching manned spacecraft are not in a good mood, because when Tang Chao said this, their business in this area was settled.

No way, the current manned space equipment of other companies cannot be compared with the orbital shuttle.

The heaviest thing here is the several private aerospace companies of Merrican that have space tourism business. Not only them, but also the officials have come to intervene.

After Tang Chao said this, within five minutes, the boss of the private aerospace company was officially called by Meriken Space Agency to a secret online conference room.

"Gentlemen, we must find a way to fight back!"

When everyone heard, "Why is this sentence again? Have you said this sentence several times?"

A boss who has not self-developed manned spacecraft, but is about to enter the space tourism industry, said: "Sir, I don’t understand what you mean. Navigator has already said that the sale of orbital shuttles is not restricted. We can buy them. The orbital shuttle to develop our own space tourism."

"Our company is developing inflatable space capsules. We are confident that the cost of the space station will be lower than them, and the space will be much larger than them. The huge space means that we have more decoration options and more entertainment projects. In this way they absolutely cannot compete with us."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the official said: "No, we absolutely can't buy their orbital shuttle. It's not a question of counterattack or not, but just admit defeat!"

"Moreover, they will pretend to be spy equipment inside and listen to our aerospace secrets. This is absolutely not allowed, so for the sake of our national security, we must never buy their orbital shuttle!"

"..."

Well, it is really a very traditional "crime".

This is probably because the pilot refused to cooperate before, and then was hated by the official, but isn't this what the official did in the first place?

Seeing that Tianxia’s overall condition is getting better and better, they want to cooperate with the world. It is a super market with serious capital. As a result, the official side of Meriken is in charge, and only things with a little higher technological content. Not to sell.

However, the higher the technological content, the lower the sales volume, because many countries with insufficient "levels" simply cannot use those high-tech gadgets.

Seeing that a huge market like Tianxia has risen, and there is a huge demand for high-tech gadgets, suppliers are all yelling with products, and Meriken’s official side "clicks" a door to shut down the suppliers’ Wealth is blocking the door.

High-tech product supplier: "???"

It doesn't count if you have controlled the suppliers in your own country. Even the suppliers from other countries should be taken care of, even those suppliers that started cooperation with Tianxia a long time ago.

With one order, sales are directly reduced by half.

The suppliers are crazy, they are all fucking.

But there is no way, they can't do Merrican. They are not a super giant company in Cyberpunk, so they must act according to Merrican's rules.

But today, the bosses here did not expect that they thought it would take a long time for the orbital shuttle to officially serve, but they did not expect it to be so fast.

They suspect that there is a high probability that it has something to do with aliens.

Just as a reporter asked, "Will it be changed to a space fighter", they can answer without Tang Chao's answer.

"definitely will!"

There is no need to think about this matter at all, aliens are here, you can’t change it if you don’t want to.

That comes from the fear of the unknown deep in the human heart. Once you encounter such a thing, all you can think of is to arm yourself first.

Take the sword and put on the armor, so that you will have a little sense of security.

"Mr. Kuna, in this case, let's quickly pass the proposal for the restart of the'Adventure Star' single-stage orbiting vehicle, funding, scientific research personnel, materials, etc., as long as these things are in place, combined with our current plan, we can Perfect it in a short time."

"The carrying capacity of more than 20 tons is enough to crush the Navigator's bone sculpture shuttle, and even have a real space bomber before the arrival of the alien."

"I know……"

Kuna rarely showed a trace of hesitation, and continued: "Before, because of some things, the certification work was delayed, but now all the councilors have unified their opinions. Everything you need will be gathered in the shortest time, but you guarantee that you must Complete it in the shortest time."

"Moreover, in accordance with military standards, we need it to become a standard space fighter. As for transportation, we will not consider it for the time being."

"And Mr. Ma Yilong, your star and arrow launch system has been listed as a key support project. I hope you will not let the congressmen down."

Ma Yilong heard the words, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Don't worry, it's progressing smoothly. It is guaranteed that it can make its first flight before the new year, and the first flight will be successful."

In the live video, Tang Chao also said: "In three days, our Yuanhang and mankind’s first unmanned spacecraft will be launched at the Binhai Launch Center, and will soon join the Mars exploration sequence, which will be for man’s Mars exploration. Add a boost to your career."

"There are also extraterrestrial probes, and they will have nowhere to hide under its light!"

These words caused the atmosphere in the conference room to stagnate. Kuna asked the people from the space agency, "Did our two plans find the detectors?"

"Yet, not yet."
