Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 462 [Star Arrow International]

Science and Technology Complex Building.

Luo Sheng is staying alone in his private office.

"Xiao Na, create a new index file named... Star Arrow International."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Sheng decided on the name of his private space exploration technology company, which is called "Star Arrow International", which is to serve the world after all.

In the next few days, Luo Sheng personally dealt with the establishment of Star Arrow International, because it was not a conventional enterprise registration process. This was a special pilot program for private aerospace companies.

The registered capital of Star Arrow International is 1.5 billion yuan, about 220 million U.S. dollars. The establishment of this new company, Luo Sheng, did not involve friends from Wall Street to play with.

It's not possible now, because there was a conflict not long ago, and there's no way to play it all together.

However, it is not entirely a sole proprietorship. Shengfeng Capital, Bluestar Technology and Azure Coast are all major shareholders of Star Arrow International, each holding 30% of the shares according to the capital contribution ratio, and Luo Sheng personally holds 10% of the shares, but the three companies are all He does not interfere with any operation rights of Star Arrow International, that is to say, in a legal sense, his three companies are all financial investments made by Star Arrow International.

Anyway, the left hand changes the right hand, but the biggest purpose of this shareholding model is to closely connect with each other.

Another purpose is to transfer personnel from the three companies, so it seems logical, otherwise, for example, if an important engineer is transferred from Bluestar Technology, the shareholders will be dissatisfied with Luo Sheng's behavior that harms the public and private, and also Can't really tell.

After the three companies invested in Starship International, there would be no problems in this regard, which is equivalent to opening up the three major arteries of talents, resources and funds to ensure that the company can be quickly established in the start-up stage.

It sounds simple, but the top-level design of the enterprise is still very complicated. Fortunately, Luo Sheng has Qin Weimu, so she can easily handle these things.

Luo Sheng identified four major directions for Star Arrow International, namely aerospace technology research, space technology research, launch vehicle technology research and new material research.

With the passage of time, Star Arrow International completed the establishment of the company's articles of association and skeleton in just half a month. The number of formal employees reached 330, of which 300 were scientists or engineers, and Luo Sheng served as the The position of CEO.

Most of these employees were transferred from Cote d'Azur Lab and Bluestar Technology, but this is not enough. It is necessary to recruit talents in the aerospace field from the outside world, and it is global.

...

"Shet..."

At this time, Elon Musk, who was sitting at home, was a little unhappy when he saw the headline of the article in The Washington Post.

[The space competition in the past was between countries, but we may have come to the brink of a private space competition on an international scale in the 21st century. ] -- "Washington Post" front page headline.

The content report is the news that Luo Sheng established Star Arrow International, the company is referred to as "SAI", which is the first private space company in China.

What makes Musk very unhappy is that Luo Sheng competes with his Tesla and SpaceX at the same time this year. Although the new energy car company under the Côte d'Azur and the current Star Arrow International have just been established, Elon Musk takes it seriously.

It also includes the now known Star Arrow International.

First of all, it can be determined that a disadvantage is the disadvantage of capital. Although the registered capital of Star Arrow International is only about 200 million US dollars, Musk is very clear that no boss in the world today is richer than the current Luo Sheng.

The only thing that gives him an advantage is that his company has been established for nearly ten years, and in the aerospace field, North American, European and American companies currently occupy the dominant market position.

But Elon Musk doesn't dare to be careless at all. Luo Sheng can always create miracles, and his entry also means that the aerospace industry on the other side of the Pacific is likely to emerge in terms of diversification and specialization. More and more industry leaders with innovative minds emerge.

One of the challenges that the world's major carrier manufacturers are likely to face in the future is the low-cost competition from Chinese companies.

After all, what Europeans and Americans hate most about Chinese people is that when they enter an industry, they can use their large-scale and supporting products to mass-produce products, and then set the price of cabbage.

Really hate this kind of competition.

Science and Technology Complex Building.

"Master, you have received an email from a professor at Qinghua University, hoping that you can invest in his research projects and some crazy ideas."

Luo Sheng had just finished the work at hand when Xiaona's voice responded.

"Call it out and have a look." Luo Sheng said, and immediately turned his head to look at the computer screen next to him. He didn't do anything, but the display panel automatically jumped out of the email content interface under Xiaona's hosting.

"Research on carbon nanomaterials?" Luo Sheng was quite curious when he saw it, so he continued to read.

The sender is Liu Jianwei, from Qinghua University. He described in his email that he and his research team have made a major theoretical breakthrough in the field of super-strong carbon nanotube fibers, saying that with a theoretically powerful approach to a single carbon nanotube fiber Preparation method of ultra-long carbon nanotube bundles.

But there is no money to apply for grants.

"Wow... Liu Jianwei? Lying down... it's really him!!!" When Luo Sheng saw the last description of Liu Jianwei's email, his eyes lit up, and he also pulled his thoughts back to the memory of his previous life. .

The picture in my mind gradually emerged the scene of the Southeast Asian generation, to be precise, an island called Linjia County in the equatorial region of Indonesia.

This is an archipelago. One of the islands was contracted by Huaguo Enterprise. At the same time, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries and more than 50 domestic and foreign group companies were involved. The Huaguo Aerospace Science and Technology Group took the lead and broke ground here. A century-old super project is also the most extensive space project in human history, with an investment budget of 5 trillion yuan.

Luo Sheng still remembers that the super project of this century was started in 2031, that is, two years before his rebirth, the island built a 1298-meter-high sky tower base within two years, becoming the highest in the world at that time. man-made buildings.

At the same time, above outer space, after the transformation of the Tianzhou space station, it gradually rose from a low-altitude orbit to a geosynchronous orbit of 36,000 kilometers.

A new space station was launched in the middle section, and the space coordinate point is the balance point between the gravitational force and the centrifugal force of outer space.

The base of the Tianta on the equator and the Tianzhou in outer space will be connected to the Tianzhou by a 36,000-kilometer cable made of new carbon nanotube materials, thus making it the first time in human history. A space ladder.

However, Luo Sheng did not see the day when the space ladder was completed, because it was reborn in 2033, but he knew that this international space project led by Hua Guo at that time was expected to take 15 years and was divided into three steps. strategy to complete.

The purpose of building a space ladder is to reduce the cost of space activities, because the economic cost of recoverable rockets is still prohibitively high, and at the same time, humans still have not mastered controllable fusion technology in 2033.

That's why the international project of the "Sky Ladder" project led by Hua Guo was born.

And Indonesia could not refuse at all. At that time, when the project was selected, Indonesia also faced three strong competitors from South America, namely Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil.

The four locations offered by the four candidate countries are Linjia County in Indonesia, Hama in Ecuador, Tumaco in Colombia and Santa Ana in Brazil.

After weighing various aspects, Hua Guo chose Linjia County in Indonesia as the base of the ground tower.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The other three countries are in Latin America, which is the back garden of Lao Mei's house, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so I feel very uneasy.

And Indonesia in Southeast Asia is on the doorstep.

At the time of the bidding, the four countries were competing with each other at a rhythm, because the economic benefits brought by them were simply incalculable. You must know that the base of the sky tower on the ground is actually a spaceport leading to space. Cargo transportation to and from the ground and space has to pass through here, and next door is the Strait of Malacca.

Once the space ladder is successfully built, Indonesia's economic development can follow.

The three-step strategy of the ladder is also very clear. The first step is to build the ground tower base and the spaceport, which is also the easiest; the second step is to complete the transformation of the Tianzhou space station; the third step is to send In the second space station, the cable was sent into space at the same time, and then the cable was gradually connected to the ground tower by using the towed space return capsule combined with satellite positioning and navigation from above space.

At this point, the tower has basically been successful.

It is worth mentioning that, no matter how powerful the real technology is, it is an unrealistic fantasy to build a 36,000-kilometer Optimus Prime that leads directly to the sky. The center of gravity is unstable, it is easy to break and collapse, and it consumes a lot of materials.

Therefore, Huaguo's "space ladder" project is to build a gravity-free space station fortress in space orbit, and then use a rope to hang down to the ground and connect it to the base of the sky tower, so as to pull people or things into space.

Simply put, it is three parts, the ground tower base, the rope and the space station in orbit.

The most important part is the research and development of the rope, and it is also the most difficult new material breakthrough research and development.

Because the cable connecting the space and the ground is required to be able to withstand the mutual pull of the ground gravity and the space centrifugal force at the same time, it can also ensure that in the case of missile bombing, super strong storms on the ground, and the rope being hit by the aircraft, even if the aircraft is cut in half , but the rope can still maintain vertical tension without swaying continuously.

Only nanomaterials can do this.

And the person who achieved the breakthrough of new materials is Liu Jianwei!

It took him and his team more than 30 years to overcome the material problem. The carbon nanotubes developed by him have a tensile strength of 300GPa, which is far more than four times that of the space ladder. It also laid a key material foundation for the birth of the space ladder.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was browsing the emails, suddenly couldn't stop his heart from surging, and muttered to himself: "After more than 20 years, this ladder will be built by my company, and will be built by Star Arrow International. Taking the lead, perhaps with my push, may be far ahead of time.”

But for a moment, Luo Sheng finished thinking and made a decision, and then wrote a letter and sent it to Liu Jianwei.

...

(Ps: In reality, there is indeed a Tsinghua team that produced carbon nanotubes of this strength, breaking the world record, but the length is only half a meter, and the team is also dreaming of a space ladder, 36,000 kilometers and 0.5 meters, There is a long way to go. It can be said that before the controllable nuclear fusion is lit, the only thing that can popularize space activities is the space elevator. We call it the space elevator here.

Everyone thinks that the protagonist will enter the space real estate in the future. What kind of brain hole is this 2333~~)
