Silicon Valley

The SpaceX interstellar event invited a few stars to perform. In addition to Michael Jackson, Celine Dion was also invited to sing the theme song "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic". Britney Spears, a popular and beautiful girl who stands out in The Voice.

After several rounds of performances, Lawrence Paul took to the stage to host the interstellar event.

"Welcome everyone, first of all, please allow me to introduce SpaceX to you. The full name of SpaceX is 'Space Exploration Technology Company'. Acquired Lockheed Martin, Hughes Aerospace \u0026 Communications, and Northrop Grumman. SpaceX may be a new company, but the latter three are long-established and powerful aerospace companies .And our new SpaceX company has integrated the aerospace power of these four companies and has become the world's most technologically advanced and largest aerospace company!"

"SpaceX is always recruiting the world's best aerospace talents to join our company. So far, the total number of the company has exceeded 40,000, more than the combined employees of NASA, the European Space Agency ESA and the Russian Federal Space Agency RKA. And every year Its research funding is as high as more than 20 billion US dollars, three times that of NASA, four times that of the Russian Federal Space Agency RKA, and five times that of the European Space Agency ESA!"

"Today, SpaceX is holding this interstellar event, which mainly showcases SpaceX's latest launch vehicle!"

"We all know that the cost of launching rockets is extremely expensive. When SpaceX was founded, it was determined to be the cheapest launch vehicle. In this regard, we have been conscientious and hard-working. As far as technology is concerned, we have It is at the forefront of the world; in terms of cost control, the cost of launching a rocket in the world is about 100 million US dollars, and the cost of launching a rocket is at least 20 million US dollars cheaper!"

As soon as the words were finished, many people couldn't help but be surprised, and their faces showed incredible expressions! Then, there were discussions.

Lawrence Paul raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "This new launch vehicle is the second-generation rocket of our SpaceX company, called 'Falcon 2', with a total length of 35 meters and a solid-liquid hybrid type. The standard price of the three-stage rocket is 75 million US dollars. If it is launched to low-Earth orbit, the maximum load is 20 tons; if it is launched to the geosynchronous transition orbit, the maximum load is 6.5 tons; if it is launched to Mars, the maximum load is 3.1 tons! "

While Lawrence Paul spoke, the LCD screen behind him lit up, and a huge rocket, like the magnification of Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, was placed across the playground, with no end in sight. There are 9 launchers at the rear of the rocket, large black launch ports, each of which can fit 6 people. A staff member is standing under the launch port, which is very small in comparison with the rocket!

Lawrence Paul looked at the audience with a confident smile on his face, and said loudly: "If you choose SpaceX to launch multiple rocket missions, the cost will be lower!"

After speaking, Lawrence Paul nodded to Henry. Henry then stood up and walked to the stage.

The crowd had just started talking, and when they saw Henry on stage, the crowd fell silent.

Henry took the microphone handed over by an employee, and then bowed to the people in the audience.

"Actually, at this SpaceX interstellar event, we not only showed you the Falcon 2 rocket, but also showed you spaceships, satellites, etc. Presumably, you have all seen it on the booth in the hall. Henry said, "Have you seen the short video that describes life in space in the future?"

Henry smiled, "Although that short video is exaggerated, it may not be impossible! In the past, humans didn't even dare to think about flying, but now, we have already achieved the moon landing plan!"

"Science and technology are advancing. Human immigration to the moon and even Mars is not delusional. The purpose of SpaceX's existence is to accelerate the realization of the great vision of human immigration to space!"

As soon as Henry's voice fell, everyone was stunned.

Henry ignored everyone's surprise and continued: "SpaceX has established a microgravity laboratory and built the world's most advanced microgravity drop tower to conduct microgravity experiments such as fluid physics, non-metallic material combustion, and liquid management. The research provides a convenient experimental method for the spacecraft load carrying experiment and the pre-research of fire prevention technology. Here, some people may not know what microgravity is, so I will briefly introduce it. Microgravity actually refers to gravity or other The acceleration caused by the external force does not exceed 10e-5 ~ 10e-4g, which is simply weightlessness, and the microgravity environment refers to the space environment.

However, the cost of doing research in space is prohibitive. Another research method is relatively simple and crude, that is, the establishment of a microgravity drop tower. A microgravity drop tower is actually a tall tower. As we all know, free fall will cause weightlessness, and weightlessness can create a microgravity environment. In this short microgravity environment, the staff can engage in related research. "

Henry looked around the audience and said loudly: "Of course, we at SpaceX will definitely build our own space station, and then conduct further research in the space station!"

"This time, we not only invited officials from the aerospace departments of various governments, but also sent invitation letters to many rich people. The reason for this is that we, SpaceX, are going to do a big project - a space station tourism project! If anyone If the rich want to travel to outer space, they must contact us for a long time in advance. Because the environment of space and the surface of the earth is very different, the surface of the earth is in a 1G gravity environment, while the space is in a vacuum state. Travel, etc., is different from Earth. Therefore, rich people who want to travel in space must undergo special training to adapt to this microgravity environment!”

Henry laughed: "In the microgravity environment, you all become superhumans, you can fly in mid-air, and you can bounce a car weighing several tons with one finger... You can do all kinds of things. Incredible action, I think there is nothing more amazing than experiencing this kind of life in space! And at the same time, you can also enjoy the unique view of space!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, many rich people in the audience were heartbroken, and extremely eager expressions flashed on their faces. Henry knew that after his own bewitching, many people would definitely be willing to take part in space travel.

A rich man immediately asked loudly, "Mr. Williams, how much does it cost to take a sky trip?"

"$20 million!" Henry replied with a slight smile.

"20 million US dollars?!!" Everyone's faces were stunned. A trip of 20 million US dollars is probably the most expensive tour in the world. Although they are all billionaires, they dare not spend so much money.
