Bureau of Science and Technology.
"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay..."
For him, this feeling is simply more pleasant than becoming an international superstar.
"Ask for the nearest flight."
When he heard that Lu Zhou was boarding with the space shuttle, the smile that was still on his face suddenly froze. He lost his right hand and hit the table with a bang, almost falling to the ground.
"This news was first reported on CTV and has been confirmed by Chinese official media such as Renren Daily. Regarding the authenticity of the news, we are contacting NASA for confirmation. We have not received a clear response yet... Please continue to follow up for follow-up reports. Follow our news… ”
Musk, who was sitting on the sofa while staring blankly at the scene on the TV, did not pick it up, and did not even realize what was happening.
However, that's not what he focused on.
Musk took out two bottles of champagne and half a box of pizza from the refrigerator. He hummed a running ditty and put the pizza into the microwave. Then he took the champagne and returned to the sofa to sit down. He grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV. Quietly Waiting for the show to start.
The people who were most shocked by this news were, of course, the Chinese themselves.
"Where is he now?"
Director Li couldn't help but cursed: "Nonsense! I know he was with the plane, how could he drop someone halfway? What I'm asking is his condition, is he feeling well? There's nothing wrong with him, right? ?”
"That's right, the Xiangrui is driving very steadily, and according to the pilot, Professor Lu... seems to have practiced at home."
After a brief moment of surprise, she took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
Fortunately, he quickly held the table with his quick hands and did not fall.
He stood up from the chair and walked around the office a few times. He slapped his thigh suddenly, grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and put it on. Then he looked at the secretary who was sitting at the desk at the door with a confused look on his face. .
Soon the anchors of the Colombian television news channel will report on his speech at the Space-X press conference and the interview he gave after the press conference.
Director Li, who was holding a mobile phone in his hand, was answering a call from the Jinling Space Launch Center.
Subconsciously he picked up the champagne bottle and brought it to his lips. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he realized that the cap of this bottle had not yet been opened...
The hot pizza fell from his mouth to the floor with a splat, and the cheese and marinara sauce was smeared all over the floor.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened in the news being broadcast.
…
Director Li felt his eyes darken and almost fainted.
As he expected, the concept drawing of the BFR rocket appeared in the center of the screen. By quoting an interview with a NASA expert who has a cooperative relationship with Space-X, the news quickly got to the point, presenting the audience with a concept map of Space-X's lunar base and the Mars colonization plan to be launched in 2024.
Is there something wrong
Thinking of the pizza he had just heated, Musk reluctantly left the sofa, walked quickly to the kitchen, put the pizza on the plate, and then quickly returned to the living room.
Of course, not everyone is cheering for this news.
Because, in another minute, the Space-X company's logo will appear in the center of the screen.
"Yes, it is."
Electric propulsion
Director's Office.
While drinking champagne and watching TV, there was a ding from the microwave.
"Of course it has been checked, but... Professor Lu may have gotten in on his own."
The news program begins.
Slowly sitting back on the office chair, he pinched his philtrum with his left hand and said with a headache.
“Jesus-Christ…”
But at this moment, he didn't even have the slightest interest in his heart, even if he was one of the designers of this spaceship...
There are also many people who have headaches about this matter.
He can still control others, but he really has no control over this guy.
But the Colombian TV news before the football game.
Director Li had a dark look on his face and felt like he had a severe headache.
"Sorry, I want to interrupt a piece of news temporarily..."
"What? Professor Lu went up with the Xiangrui?"
"Let's win," Musk unscrewed the cap of the champagne bottle, filled the goblet placed on the table in the living room, and watched the Columbia TV news program that had started. He picked it up and was lifted up with a smile, " cheers!"
Auspicious number
"No, you didn't bring anyone with you for inspection during the launch? Why didn't any of you see such a big living person missing?!"
"About two hours and fifty minutes ago, the Xiangrui space plane, equipped with China's latest electric propulsion system, was successfully launched from the Jinling Launch Center."
Luxury home in Bel Air.
Hou Guang, who was on the other end of the phone, swallowed and said.
Instead, almost everyone in Silicon Valley was talking about the Auspicious Number in a tone of exclamation or shock.
"Go to Jinling!"
Although he doesn't know what it feels like to be an international superstar...
"Mr. Musk, Chairman and CEO of Space-X, said that they will conduct the first test of the BFR rocket within this year -" Just in the middle of the sentence, I saw the pseudonym of the TV suddenly appear from the edge of the camera. A hand reached out and handed a piece of paper to the host sitting in front of the studio stage.
As soon as the Xiangrui successfully entered orbit, CCTV reporters waiting at the Jinling Ground Command sent the news back to Beijing. After instructions from the central government's top management, CTV soon sent a congratulatory message to Jinling and the Xiangrui spacecraft operating in low-Earth orbit, and broadcast the good news of the successful launch to the whole country, presenting a great gift to the people across the country who were celebrating New Year's Day.
After repeating this sentence several times, Director Li took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
Silently turning off his phone, Musk muttered something to himself as he watched the news that had ended.
California, USA.
?
The news continued to show, and subsequent reports were still about his Space-X and BFR spacecraft.
And when today is over, the BFR super rocket equipped with 42 Raptor engines will ignite the topic of the entire Silicon Valley. The technology of the liquid oxygen methane engine will completely rewrite the history of aerospace. Papers with Franklin printed on them will float from Wall Street like snowflakes.
"Xiao Zhou, buy me a high-speed rail ticket!"
After seeing the content on the paper, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on the host's face.
Americans were not the only ones shocked.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, quickly logged into Twitter, and began searching for information about the auspicious number.
Predictably, he did not find anything useful. After all, until a few hours ago, Starry Sky Technology had not even said anything about the Auspicious No. in public, not even the slightest bit of relevant content.
Although most high-tech employees in Silicon Valley will choose channels for obtaining news that are more in line with current trends, such as Twitter or Facebook, for Musk, the news that is about to be broadcast is of extraordinary significance.
“…with the plane.”
Director Li hurriedly picked up the phone from the corner of the table. He didn't even have time to check whether the screen was cracked, so he put the phone to his ear and asked anxiously.
Damn, my ancestors...
At this moment, his brain had completely shut down and he was in a state of confusion.
In about an hour, America's most popular football game begins.
