Technology Bigshot

After Ding Yang left the space base, he met Robert Bigelow in the VIP waiting room of the company headquarters.

He didn't drag his feet in the slightest. He didn't even say hello when they met, and said straight to the point: "That's right, sir. Our boss is busy with affairs, so I'm afraid we won't be able to have a meeting with you according to the appointment plan."

"What? Then when is Mr. free?" The 82-year-old Bigelow couldn't calm down when he heard Ding Yang's answer, and he couldn't help asking anxiously.

Although he is not young, but thanks to the improvement of his body by enjoying the "replication equipment" produced by Matrix Technology, Bigelow is still young and strong, with a long life span. This time, he did not hesitate to travel across the ocean to come here in person, just to facilitate a cooperation. If he can successfully receive an order from the company, the amount of this transaction will definitely exceed the sum of the company's previous business.

That is a super space station of more than 5,000 tons! Like thousands of tons of gleaming gold!

"The last time our boss had free time was on the weekend a month and a half later, during a private break." Ding Yang replied.

"What?" Old Bigelow's heart turned cold when he heard that it would take forty or fifty days. He really wanted to yell at the other party for saying that he was really rude, that there were no more people at the scheduled meeting time, and that I was an old man who came to discuss cooperation with you, a young man, and you let me go. If you can't, it means that a sky-high dream cooperation will be ruined, and you have to endure it for the sake of dollars.

Facts have proved once again that forbearance eventually pays off.

Ding Yang added: "But our boss said that if the husband is willing to move to the headquarters, we can meet right away. Our boss is at the headquarters right now."

"Of course! Of course!" Old Bigelow said happily without any hesitation.

Half an hour later, Ding Yang took Robert Bigelow to the command center of the launch tower of the space base in Ren Hong's car. Bigelow, who had a close look at the layout of the space base for the first time, looked around curiously. The huge launch tower immediately caught his attention. At the same time, he found that the car was heading in the direction of the launch tower.

After a while, the majestic appearance of "Arc Eagle No. 1" caught the eyes of the old Bigelow, and the nose was aimed at the launch tower with a curved concave semi-parabolic shape. Although the old Bigelow was born as an innkeeper, he was engaged in the aerospace field. For many years, he was not ignorant. When he saw this scene, could it be that the mysterious space shuttle was launched from that curved orbit?

Don't need a rocket booster?

"Uh, Mr. Ding, may I ask what is happening here..." Bigelow couldn't help asking, guessing 10,000 times is not as good as a word from an insider.

Ding Yang in the driver's seat gave a brief answer: "That's the 'Arc Eagle One' aerospace transport aircraft, and it's about to conduct its first air-to-space test flight. Our boss conflicted with your appointment precisely because of this matter."

The "Arc Eagle No. 1" that is about to fly is not a first-class secret. Since the boss wants to bring him to the scene, it is enough to explain the problem, and Ding Yang has nothing to hide.

"Could it be that this space shuttle can go up without the help of rocket booster fuel? But through the orbiter on that large building?" Bigelow asked after learning the answer.

"It should be, but I'm not a professional, and I don't know the specific situation. The test flight time will start soon. If nothing happens, you should be able to witness this test flight with your own eyes." Ding Yang replied.

Bigelow showed a happy look: "I didn't expect to be able to get such an unexpected surprise, what a great honor! I sincerely wish this test flight mission a complete success!"

Not long after arriving at the space base, Ding Yang brought Robert Bigelow to the control center. Ren Hong saw Ding Yang appearing here with a foreigner, and immediately talked to the person in charge of the project before heading to the control center. Go in the direction of Bigelow.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr Ren!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Robert."

After the two met,

After a polite handshake and a few shabby words, the age gap between the two parties was extremely large. Old Bigelow, who was born in 1945, was 82 years old, three times as old as Ren Hong. But even so, he respects the young man in front of him enough, regardless of qualifications, especially for Westerners, they will always put your ability and status first in the "measurement yardstick", and then other.

As for the young Ren Hong, he only showed due courtesy, and did not mix any extra emotional factors.

"I'm taking the liberty to disturb you this time, and I hope Mr. Ren will be more understanding." Old Bigelow said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's my fault, no, it's my assistant's fault, he arranged the time. But considering his following me for so long and his outstanding ability, I decided not to fire him." Ren Honglang said With a smile, some humorous words made the atmosphere lively. As for Ding Yang who was beside him, his face twitched unconsciously, and he said in his heart that you wanted to watch the test flight temporarily and persistently, but in the end the blame was still thrown on the assistant.

"Mr. Robert, this way please!" Ren Hong smiled, and the two came to an observation room with transparent glass in front, allowing them to see the entire empty runway and launch tower at a glance.

"I heard that your company is about to conduct a test flight of the space shuttle?" Bigelow watched the aerospace transport plane and a group of staff on the runway.

"That's right!" Ren Hong nodded, and then asked: "Mr. Robert, before the flight test starts, let's talk about the business first. What is your purpose in meeting me this time?"

When it came to the business, Bigelow immediately paid attention, and his eyes also looked away from the window and then fell on Ren Hong, and said: "Since your company announced the ambitious space exploration plan, among which you announced not long ago' As for the "Tiangong Circular Orbit Interstellar Port" mentioned in the Gemini Project, I think that Bigelow Aerospace and your company can carry out an in-depth cooperation on this project."

"I would like to hear more about it!" Ren Hong said unhurriedly. He had already had a general understanding of Bigelow Aerospace Company in advance, and he also guessed the purpose of the other party's visit in his heart. Going into battle in person should be to sell his "inflatable space capsule".

As expected, Bigelow quickly replied: "Your company is ambitious to build the largest interstellar space station in human history, with a volume of more than 5,000 kilotons. This is an exciting figure, and it should also be a An unimaginable cost input. But the "beam (Bim) inflatable space capsule" produced by the Bigelow Aerospace Company founded by you can greatly reduce the cost input for the "Tiangong". Some supply cabins or experimental cabins are completely Conventional space capsules can be replaced with inflatable capsules, the 'beam inflatable capsule' at a cost of less than $20 million is the perfect role to replace these experimental or supply pods..."
