The successful trial of the Master Company's Rise has once again made the world eclipse! In other words, some fear!
Several countries that had just test-flighted the successfully developed space shuttle suddenly lost their joyful expressions, and even felt some deeper despair.
Jack Smith is an old employee in his 50s and the most experienced person at the current national airlines in the United States. He was sent here ten days ago, a newly established aviation base located in a remote suburb of Philadelphia. No, to be precise, there is only a 500-meter-circular flat land, several warehouses and a huge crane.
Here, the construction time only took three days. The application of modern technology and a large number of construction machinery made the construction time and speed faster and faster. However, this does not make Jack feel proud. In today's era, such a project can be completed by a small private company. There is really no technical content. The only difference is that the ground here is very thick, and the reinforced concrete ground is up to three meters thick. Because this is where the United States connects supplies with master companies!
Yes, after negotiations, this will be the only legal landing site for the Dream space shuttle in the United States. Of course, the materials shipped by the United States to space will also be gathered here and packaged into standard 70-ton weights with pointed ends. Put the package on the back of the dream plane, carry it into space, and deliver it to your country's space base.
And today at 3:10 in the morning, it is the time that the Dream space shuttle of the Master Company will arrive!
"Damn politicians! Damn Expert Company! Why don't you die!" Jack led his men and was busy working nervously.
I thought that there is a 13-hour difference between Eastern Time in the United States and China Time, and the working hours of the master company are in China Time, so the result is: the plane in China will take off at 11:00 in the afternoon, but it is already early morning in the United States! In fact, it is not that the United States has never thought of asking the master company to change the start time of disembarking the plane. However, Gaoshou Company rejected the "good intentions" of the United States because its employees were exhausted and safety was its top priority, even if the United States was willing to pay an extra $10,000 in labor costs.
The result is the current situation. This base, named the Small Spaceport, is now brightly lit, surrounded by high-power sodium lamps. The strong light allows plants to still grow vigorously at night.
But there is another fact that makes Jack so angry, that is: the shipping cost of the master company is calculated based on the entire package, not the items inside the package! This package is all made of titanium alloy. In order to make these titanium alloy packages, the United States spent a total of 50 million US dollars! Even so, such a package still weighs 3 tons, and can only store 67 tons of materials inside!
50,000 Chinese yuan per kilogram, the cost per ton is as high as 50 million equivalent to 10 million U.S. dollars, and the one-time transportation cost is as high as 700 million U.S. dollars! Every time he sees this number, Old Jack's eyelids will straighten up! Hateful times, hateful politicians, damn China!
700 million US dollars! How great would it be if it were used to improve people's livelihood in the country? Americans in this era can only learn about the past glory from the mouths of their elders! Now the United States, with a population of 800 million, has embarked on the development path of China. In addition, the United States has developed relatively slowly in recent years. The rise of other countries in the world is slowly encroaching on the American hunting market. Now The United States has shrunk significantly.
Just last month, those Cuban monkeys, with the support of Eastern countries, dared to forcibly inspect the freighter of the great United States! While cursing this, Jack was working hard. There are too many Americans today. If you are not qualified for the job, someone else will take your place! Although this job requires getting up in the middle of the night, it is just that, the pay is good, and the work is easy. Perhaps, if the country cannot pay the huge price to the master company, it might be able to have unlimited holidays!
But there’s one thing I’m not happy with – I need to be able to speak Chinese! Speaking of this, Jack has to be rude again. When he was young, the world was dominated by Americans and English; but now, in the United States, you have to learn to speak Chinese, otherwise people will not talk about you... Well, now "No" The three Chinese characters "bird you" have become the mantra of American youth!
But fortunately, the country released new news two days ago. The new generation of ground-based space shuttle designed and developed entirely by the United States finally successfully tested. Although the fly in the ointment is that the engine uses the K01 engine from Gaoshou Company. However, with the experts from the master company at the forefront, it is said that the engine developed by the United States has reached a critical moment and may be available next month. However, Jack, who is in his 50s, is not one of those young people. He naturally added the next sentence in his mind: Maybe it won’t be released in ten years!
But at least, our country finally has its own space shuttle, although it is only in the testing stage. However, at midnight today, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, and the small airport was undergoing the final training exercise.
Just a piece of news that popped up from the Internet made Jack's slightly excited expression drop to freezing point in an instant!
That's a picture taken by a German satellite! A set of pictures to be exact!
A commentator was explaining with a lively expression: "At 13:55 local time in China, the super-large space shuttle developed by Gaoshou Company for two years successfully made a test flight!
The space shuttle named Rise suffered a huge blow during the development process, thus triggering the world-famous Japanese space disaster.
But today, Gaoshou Company still successfully test-flighted a new generation of space shuttle.
According to expert predictions, starting from today, the aerospace era will enter the kiloton era. We are fortunate to live in such an era and witness the birth of an era.
The steam age created the United Kingdom; the electrical age created the United States. Now it seems that the aerospace era may favor China..."
Watching the narrator's eloquent explanation, Jack felt a ball of ice forming in his heart. The once huge United States finally let the East catch up in the space era! Jack, who has received an elite education in the United States since he was a child, understands that when a new era comes, there will inevitably be war - the Cold War, which is also a kind of war!
There are never exceptions!
So, where is our plane at this time? Looking at the brightly lit small spaceport ahead, this landing place specially built for the Master Company's Dream aircraft, with a large number of labels in Chinese and English, an inexplicable crisis entangled Jack's heart. Former superpower, are you sick?
There are more countries that are also paying attention! Looking at the huge aircraft on the screen, although Gaoshou Company has not yet given any explanation for this space shuttle labeled "Rise", with a few words, analysis, and some information on Gaoshou Company's official website, all Everyone has a clear understanding: a kiloton-level spacecraft!
Gaoshou Company has used its own efforts to open a new era!
