At noon on June 1, a luxurious private plane slowly landed on the temporarily prepared runway at Walvis Bay International Airport.
A plain-looking middle-aged man slowly stepped off the plane under the protection of bodyguards.
The man was wearing a summer casual shirt and sunglasses that covered most of his long face. Although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, it could be seen that this man was worth a lot of money, both in terms of his pomp and the aura he exuded.
At this time, below the passage, three Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked in front of the plane. At the same time, there were several men in suits standing with their hands behind their hands. The leader was a young man who also wore sunglasses.
The two of them shook hands the first time they met, and then hugged each other gently as if they were meeting old friends.
If a reporter from an international weekly saw this scene at this time, I am afraid he would be so excited that he would tremble all over. Although the two people in front of him are not stars in the entertainment industry, and they are not even close to the same level in the entertainment industry, their influence is , but it is unmatched by any international star.
One is the prototype of Iron Man and a top entrepreneur spanning the three major fields of new energy, aerospace, and electric vehicles—Elon Musk.
The other is the newly rising oligarch in the biological field, the founder of the era of lifespan escape and bionic transformation - Chen Chen.
This was the first time the two met, but it was a pity that no reporter could cover this historic scene.
"Mr. Musk, you are my ancestor."
At this time, Chen Chen had a modest smile on his face and said enthusiastically, "I didn't expect you to be so young in reality. If I didn't know your age, I would have thought you were a thirty-year-old young man."
"If I can accept your company's latest aging reversal treatment program now, maybe I can really go back to being thirty years old."
Elon Musk laughed and patted Chen Chen on the shoulder, "Mr. Chen Chen, your achievements are not inferior to mine, and you are younger, and your future is far greater than mine."
"Thank you, Mr. Musk, you are older than me, so you can just call me by my first name."
Chen Chen said in greeting.
"Okay, Chen, I'll just call you that."
Musk nodded, then followed the direction of the airport and looked at the rows of high-rise buildings on the distant skyline. "If you guessed correctly, right in front of you is the Pearl of Human Life Sciences - Life Sciences City, right?"
"Excuse me. This city is just an ordinary sanatorium. I just make a living."
Chen Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Please get in the car, Mr. Musk."
Following Chen Chen's invitation, Musk and one of his personal bodyguards got into the back seat of the car. Seeing this, Chen Chen simply sat in the co-pilot of the car, and Cheng Chao drove towards the Life Sciences City. direction.
Just in the car, Musk couldn't sit still. With his workaholic personality, he didn't say much and asked directly, "By the way, Mr. Chen Chen, in addition to new cooperation, you invited me this time. It is said that there is a new type of treatment technology that can cure a series of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., what is going on?"
"This is a brand-new technology, and its real efficacy lies in repairing the body. It has just been successfully tested, but it has not been made public yet."
Although Musk's bodyguards were present in the car, Chen Chen did not shy away from it at all, but smiled, "And I will not make this technology public for at least thirty years. At the same time, only a very few people will know the existence of this technology and use it." I believe you have heard of it, right?"
"God's forbidden zone?"
Musk's expression condensed and he immediately blurted out, "Only people from the 'God's Forbidden Zone' Association are eligible to use it?"
"Yes, it is indeed so."
Chen Chen nodded. He was not surprised at all that the other party knew about God's Forbidden Zone. After all, the name 'God's Forbidden Zone' was almost going viral among the upper classes in Europe and America, so ordinary people were still kept in the dark.
"But I have no intention of joining any organization."
Musk laughed and shook his head, with a flash of disdain in his eyes. As an emerging wealthy family that worked hard to rise on its own, he did not think highly of this kind of consortium that rested on its laurels and could only monopolize traditional industries.
"It doesn't matter, we can talk about this later."
Chen Chen did not change his expression at all because of the other party's rejection, but still smiled and said, "I know you are a technology geek and a workaholic, so I have brought this "Letter of Intent for Cooperation" with me, you can take a look first. "
As he spoke, Chen Chen made a move with one hand, and a book of information appeared out of thin air in his hand. This move made Musk's bodyguard next to him look stunned. He didn't even see what kind of trick Chen Chen used.
Musk was not surprised. He raised his eyebrows, took the "Letter of Intent for Cooperation", and read it with interest in the car.
But after seeing this, Musk suddenly fell into despair...
This is already the second collaboration between Chen Chen and Musk.
Just a few months ago, Chen Chen spent a huge amount of money to buy the lace electrode technology of Neuralink, a company owned by Musk, and used it in his Xingtian bionic prosthetic project. Strictly speaking, this was the first cooperation between the two.
Although Chen Chen paid one billion U.S. dollars for this, Musk now feels that he still lost money.
After all, the right to use the technology of Lace Electrode is one-time, but the Xingtian project is making money at an extremely fast rate, with the money being recovered in just two months.
After entering the era of lifespan escape, human beings were once again pulled into the era of bionic transformation before they had time to react.
But they are all respectable people. This amount of money has been considered a drizzle after the launch of Musk's Starlink project. After all, the 12,000 Starlink satellites launched by his company SpaceX have covered the world and have a monopoly on everything except Central Continent. Internet broadband services around the world outside the region.
This is another network technology parallel to the 5G technology led by Zhongzhou District. Although the speed is not as fast as 5G, it is a technology that does not require any service base stations. Instead, it provides global network coverage by ubiquitous low-altitude satellites. Including the Arctic and Antarctic and the ocean.
The so-called Starlink project relies on a satellite network composed of tens of thousands of space low-orbit satellites to cover the world and provide countless Internet services to the earth's population.
It is precisely because of this plan proposed on January 16, 2015 that Musk officially monopolized global Internet access services this year, raking in nearly 50 billion US dollars every year...
Therefore, Musk can be said to be full of confidence at this time. This is the peak moment of his life.
Musk is not a rocket expert. In fact, his dream is not to launch rockets. His real dream is to immigrate to Mars—a dream that is enough to change human civilization.
In early 2001, Musk, who was just in his early thirties, planned a project called "Mars Oasis" in order to immigrate to Mars in the future, and planned to land a small experimental greenhouse on Mars.
However, when he found that the launch cost was much higher than the R&D and engineering costs of the project, he reluctantly suspended the project and decided to set up a company to study how to reduce launch costs.
Thus, the famous SpaceX company was born.
On May 31, 2012, the Dragon capsule of SpaceX, Musk's company, successfully docked with the International Space Station and returned to Earth, ushering in the era of private operation of space transportation.
On February 7, 2018, SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launch vehicle successfully launched for the first time from the Kennedy Space Center in the United States and successfully completed the complete recovery of two first-stage booster rockets.
There were originally only three countries in the world that had mastered spacecraft launch and recovery technology. They were: North America, Beihai, and Zhongzhou.
But from this day on, there is another Elon Musk.
Musk also planned a long time ago that when the spacecraft launch and recovery technology is developed, which can save a lot of costs, he can launch the Starlink project and monopolize the global Internet access service, so that he can obtain enough funds to go to Study how to immigrate to Mars.
Therefore, when he saw the contents of Chen Chen's "Letter of Intent for Cooperation", the more he read, the more surprised he became.
In this "Letter of Intent for Cooperation", Blackwatch Company started with a 30 billion cooperation project, asking SpaceX to help it launch five geosynchronous orbit satellites.
And this is only the first cooperation, and the second cooperation is a new type of spacecraft technology.
SpaceX started researching interplanetary spacecraft in 2019. Now it has ranked the model of the test machine to SN7, but it still only reaches the level of orbiting the earth and is not yet sure of landing on Mars. Musk originally planned to land on Mars in 2023 It has fallen into a technical bottleneck period.
Therefore, when he saw the new spacecraft technology mentioned in the "Letter of Intent", his inner surprise was beyond words.
"are you joking?"
At this time, Musk slowly raised his head and showed an incredible look, "The interstellar spacecraft technology that our SpaceX company has spent more than ten years developing has already represented the cutting-edge of manned spacecraft technology. Even the Earth Federation dare not If you say it is superior to our technology, why do you think your spacecraft technology is more advanced than ours?"
"Unless...you stole the interstellar spacecraft technology in Central Continent?"
"No, Mr. Musk."
Chen Chen's expression remained unchanged, "Please forgive me for keeping the source of the technology confidential. I know you won't believe anything I say now. In this case, I can let you and your engineers refer to it until you are convinced that our technology is real. Let's talk again." How will the future cooperation be?”
"… good!"
Musk's face no longer had any relaxed smile. He took a deep look at Chen Chen, then lowered his head and continued to look at the lengthy information in his hand.
But what is certain is that it is difficult for him to be as calm as before...
