Looking at Musk's handsome face, Chen Yu fell into deep thought.
Elon Musk.
When mentioning this person, anyone who knows him can think of a series of keywords.
Tesla, SpaceX, Falcon 9, real-life Iron Man, and... Mars colonization!
In various public occasions, Musk has announced his crazy plan more than once—sending humans to Mars in 2024! And establish colonies so that human civilization can completely live on Mars.
For this "delusion", some people support and some praise it, but most of them still ridicule and dismiss it.
But Chen Yu has believed in this "delusion" ever since he learned about Musk's deeds.
A year ago, in order to argue with Li Liang, he also specially analyzed SpaceX's development timetable to use it as theoretical support for his BB.
This is also one of the few experiences that Chen Yu has taken the initiative to learn.
In 2002, Musk founded SpaceX and announced to the world that it would design, manufacture, and launch advanced rockets and spacecraft, comprehensively changing existing space technology and allowing humans to survive on other planets.
What he received was, of course, unanimous ridicule from the official to the public.
In 2005, SpaceX had 150 employees. But it is still in the "preparation" stage and nothing has been launched, not even a Sky Monkey.
This time, some people even lacked interest in ridicule, only contempt.
It looks like people in the 18th century faced the first car with a speed of 4 kilometers per hour...
And then, the six-year-old SpaceX company seemed to have finally reached level 6, acquired R skills, and started developing at a terrifying rate!
In 2008, the Falcon 1 rocket was successfully launched!
Became the first private company in human history to successfully launch a liquid rocket!
In 2009, the satellite was successfully put into orbit.
In 10 years, the Dragon cargo ship entered low orbit and was successfully recovered.
In 2011, the company's market value exceeded US$1 billion.
In 2013, under criticism from the private sector and the launch alliance, the medium-orbit SES-8 satellite was successfully launched.
In 2015, the high-orbit satellite launch was completed and the Falcon 9 rocket was successfully recovered!
This is also the first time in human history that a used rocket has been brought back to Earth intact. The whole world was in an uproar.
In 2018, a Tesla sports car was sent into orbit between Mars and Jupiter.
In 2019, it became the provider of launch vehicles with the strongest launch capability and the lowest cost on the earth, and almost snatched away satellite launch contracts from all major space countries, including Jianguo, China, Mauritius, and Japan...
Until now, the design and construction of the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) has begun, and it is expected to send two cargo spacecraft to Mars in 2022.
It is expected that in 24 years, a fleet of manned spacecraft will be launched to land on Mars on a large scale...
Although Musk's vision for 2024 seems a bit exaggerated to Chen Yu, he has always been convinced that Musk will be able to do all this in his lifetime.
Now, Chen Yu is preparing to advance this time by three years, allowing humans to permanently settle on Mars and achieve planetary colonization! Fulfill his and Musk's dreams.
It is also the dream of countless astronomy enthusiasts around the world!
With this thought, Chen Yu looked Musk up and down and got straight to the point: "Man, as I said before, are you interested in cooperation?"
"What kind of cooperation?" Musk is an extremely smart person. From Chen Yu's behavior and tone, he vaguely guessed the truth, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Mars colonization." Chen Yu smiled.
Musk's heart stopped and his eyes almost turned into bells.
Hearing this, other people in the space capsule also looked at Chen Yu with horrified eyes.
Especially the dean of the China Aerospace Academy and Mao Guo engineer, their normal standing postures were deformed.
"Fire...Mars colonization?"
Clenching his fists, Musk tried to calm down and said seriously: "The kind of large colony?"
"Of course." Chen Yu nodded: "Your colony of a few or a dozen people is too small. I have water jets and portals in the star system, so naturally I want to build a big one. How about this? Like this Are you interested in cooperation?"
"have!"
Musk didn’t hesitate at all: “Very interested.”
"Very good. Then the cooperation matters will be settled verbally. I will take time to invite you to the floating castle for the detailed plan, and we will discuss it in detail. Now let's briefly talk about the establishment process of the colony."
"Say." Musk bent down slightly, keeping his posture very low.
"First, I will use the portal to connect to the orbit of Mars and directly deliver several of your reconnaissance satellites to find water sources and suitable stationing points." Chen Yu thought clearly and spoke eloquently: "After finding the landing point, transport a large number of Cargo, equipment and operators, and build a series of buildings such as residential cabins, culture cabins, scientific research cabins, collection points, propellant factories, solar fire nuclear fission power generation modules, etc.”
"You... how long will your portal be used for us?" Musk asked the key.
"Only twice." Chen Yu stretched out two fingers: "Once for you to release the satellite, and once for you to transport supplies. This is enough, I can't be a nanny. The orbits of the Earth and Mars will be synchronized about once every two years, soon in 2021 , your SpaceX company only needs to wait for one year, and the Falcon rocket can transport supplies to Mars, which is exactly in line with your plan."
"..." Musk was silent, quickly calculating in his mind for a while, gritting his teeth and nodding: "That's enough! If [Earth Spray] can also be used by my company, we don't need to wait for orbital synchronization. The material supply will definitely be self-sufficient." "
"Okay." Chen Yu stretched out his hand: "Then it's settled."
"Thank you very much!" Musk shook hands quickly and suppressed his excitement: "I promise that it won't take three years to build a colonial city on Mars!"
"Wang...Mr. Wang..."
At this time, the director of the China Aerospace Academy on the side finally couldn't help it anymore: "Can our Chinese side also participate?"
"And we, Mao Fang!"
"Does... Google also have a chance?"
"No, not at all." Inside the helmet, Chen Yu waved his hands with a bad smile: "This cooperation has nothing to do with any of you. Space exploration is slower than the other, so when you see a pure profit, you will go up?"
The three people in the reward group were suddenly embarrassed and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Besides, there are so many forces in the world. How long will it take me to open the door for you one by one to launch satellites, find locations, and transport supplies? Do you have to feed them into your rectum to be satisfied? If you want to colonize, there is no cost for the launch pad. Just shoot it yourself. , each according to his own ability."
"This topic is now discontinued."
With that said, Chen Yu turned around, turned his back to everyone and looked out the window: "Hey, can you see outside now?"
The five people in the barrage group who were watching the excitement heard this and immediately came to their senses. They hurriedly lay in front of the window and watched the scenery outside the cabin.
"oh… "
"Perfect!"
"きれいだ… (so beautiful)"
At an altitude of 70,000 meters, the curvature of the earth is already obvious.
The deep space above is covered in glass-like gauze and crystal clear. Bottomless black.
The white clouds and blue ocean below are shining like gems.
The two extremes echo each other, and the beauty is beyond the extreme that words can express...
"It's almost time for the second stage of liftoff, right?"
Looking over his head, Chen Yu carefully looked at the turbulent sea water below, and turned on the radio in the live broadcast room again: "Viewers and friends, you have been waiting for a long time. It won't be long before the second stage of liftoff is about to begin. After the end, this evaluation will also be completed. A paragraph. There is nothing to watch in terms of landing. It is nothing more than opening the parachute of the space capsule and making a normal landing... "
"Forehead?"
The old Mao engineer on the side was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "Parachute? Where did the parachute come from for the unfinished space capsule?"
Chen Yu: "?!"
Audience in the live broadcast room: "?!!"
Everyone present: "!!!"
