Chapter 120 Provoking a New Space Race
That night, Tang Chao and several big men entered a secret network room.
These big men are either others, or the owners of the six private space companies they met at the end of today's meeting.
Just in time, six companies are in groups of two or two, building rockets, new space shuttles, and space living equipment.
They are both the two most powerful companies in their respective fields.
Looking at six well-known international private aerospace experts, Tang Chao remembered a sentence.
"The Internet is connected, cherish this fate."
The reason I thought of this was because he was going to fool these people.
Tang Chao was looking at them, and they were looking at Tang Chao. Compared to them, Tang Chao was extremely young.
He is less than twenty-four years old and is already on the same height as them, and it is probably even more amazing in the future.
In the end, Ma Yilong, who had a space fork, broke the calm first and said, "Let's start quickly. This secret meeting cannot last too long. The longer the time, the greater the chances of being discovered."
After hearing him say that, everyone focused on Tang Chao, because this meeting was mainly caused by Tang Chao.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tang Chao said without saying anything, "Okay, I'll just say it straight away. Everyone here is the best in the private aerospace field. I don't need the self-worth that Tianxia people use to be used to. In Tianxia's private aerospace field, the interstellar pilot is the strongest."
"But, have you discovered that as the best in the industry, we can't actually make much money?"
As Tang Chao finished speaking, everyone was silent because what he was talking about was the facts.
Although all kinds of analysis say that commercial aerospace will be worth hundreds of billions or trillions in the future, they all understand that that is the future, and just like the eternal "50 years later" of nuclear fusion, I don't know which year will the commercial aerospace market have to wait for a trillions of dollars.
Anyway, as of now, the annual commercial space market does not have even $5 billion.
And with this little money, their big companies not only have to grab each other, but also have to endure the situation where small companies come to pick up food on the plate.
Their scale is too large and the products are also large, but as satellites become smaller and smaller, if customers only launch one microsatellite, there is no need for large rockets. The smaller the rocket, the better because it is cheaper.
Moreover, the small rockets are flexible. They place an order today and can launch tomorrow. The bigger the rocket, the more they need to wait, and even "carpool" and wait for a longer time.
That's simply unreasonable. I have paid all the money, so why should I suffer such a crime?
In the past, when there were only one or two private space companies, they had no choice but to queue up, but now there are more and more private space companies. At the beginning, they were small rockets, and customers decisively changed launchers.
Whoever serves better or whoever is cheaper will be asked for.
So although these companies have higher and higher technology levels, their orders are getting fewer and fewer, and the only thing they can count on is the super large order for official space missions.
And let alone not talk about the official big orders, even if there are, their equipment is not good. Their technical level is high, but not that high. After all, this is aerospace technology, an industry that requires huge accumulation.
Now I have met Tang Chao. Tang Chao is all the techniques they are conquering. Even if there is nothing that can be used directly, there are similar ones that can be replaced. As long as they get these technologies, they can immediately compete for the official order.
But they thought that there were only so many official funds and only a few projects. Even if they took over the contract, they would not be able to have enough food for a few years.
After talking about this, a few people couldn't hold back their mouths and told many secrets in the industry. The private aerospace industry looked glorious, but only I knew the pain.
Tang Chao was so excited that he heard it.
But this transaction must be completed, otherwise how can they work for themselves?
So he said: "You all have discovered it. After Xia announced the Long March 9 plan that day, Merecon immediately invested more than one billion US dollars in the SLS Rockets project. What does this mean? Don't I say?"
"You can think about it, during the space race decades ago, how much was the annual space funding for Meriken, and now, how much is it?"
This question directly illuminates everyone's brains.
That's right, Meriken's space funding is more than 20 billion yuan a year, which is the largest in the world, but compared to that crazy era, it is not even a fraction of it.
In that era, sometimes the space funding was more than the military fund, but the space funding at that time might have been used as military funding. After all, the purpose of both parties is not simple.
Launching a Saturn V is equivalent to throwing away a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It is really thrown because there was no recycling capability at that time.
Now the military expenditure is hundreds of billions of dollars a year. If the aerospace fund reaches this level, the "commercial aerospace market of hundreds of billions of dollars" analyzed before will not be a dream, but a big cake in front of them!
Several hundred billion yuan, and the equal division of several of their companies is enough for one company to be 100 billion yuan.
Thinking of this, the bosses' breathing was heavy.
Among them, Ma Yilong is the most excited. With a total of 100 billion US dollars, his Mars plan can accelerate and accelerate. Not to mention dying on Mars in the future, it will be successful even if he goes to Mars in a few years!
"Mr. Tang, you mean... If we want to make a big profit, we have to find a way to re-start the space race?"
"Yes, Mr. Ma, you have a good idea, but I want to correct you a mistake." Tang Chao said with a smile.
Among the few people, he, the culprit, was the calmest.
Ma Yilong was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"It's not a big profit. If the space race is really picked up, it won't end in a year."
"Sheit! You're right!"
Someone swears directly.
Yes, the last space race took almost 20 years.
20 years...
Hundreds of billions a year...
"hiss--"
Two data flashed through my mind, and the big bosses took a breath.
Flames ignited in everyone's eyes.
In the whole world, no one wants to return to that crazy space race era than aerospace practitioners.
In that era, humans' yearning for space could break through the atmosphere without rockets.
But the cake was figured out and it was big enough, but how to make it is a problem.
And Tang Chao said that this is not a problem.
"Just like before, there are actually many signs, we just need to push it gently."
"Tianxia's national strength is barely qualified. The key is that Merecon feels very qualified. Now when military expenditure is required, Tianxia is mentioned the most times, and there are also various blockades, sanctions, and blame. It all shows that Merecon has recognized Tianxia's identity as a challenger and is going to fight to the death."
"There is little possibility of a hot war between the two countries, so we will lead this battlefield to space. This has actually begun, which is the manned moon landing plan of the two countries."
"It just so happens that my company has enough influence in Tianxia, and even our company has undertaken part of the Long March 9 manufacturing mission. I can tell you clearly that the first flight of Long March 9 will definitely be successful in one go. It really won't take long to land on the moon by manned manned landing."
"At that time, you guys... like this..."
Tang Chao's words were like the whisper of an ancient god, one after another, and one by one into their ears, making them all over their heads.
His plan is so terrible... no, so genius!
By then, they and the aerospace companies will definitely stand on the top of the world, rather than being the crown of technology as they are now, but they cannot make billions of dollars a year.
This is not the crown of technology. It’s obviously hard. It’s more than they earn in garbage recycling in a year.
Finally, Tang Chao still said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never compete with you for the moon landing contract. Anyway, Meriken will not let me get the contract."
"It just so happens that we can take advantage of this opportunity to turn this into a sign of our takeoff, as the initial event of the space race between the two countries, and you will need your help at that time."
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say~"
Looking at the laughing crowd, Tang Chao was also laughing, but his smile was different from these people.
Are these people stupid?
Not stupid.
It's just a few trillion dollars, too much.
Space Race, under what circumstances, is considered a "competition"? No matter how strong it is, it is not enough to be a pound.
And he...
"Sorry, I'm cheating."
If you want to compare with the entertainment industry, Kanxing's stupid critics will definitely not be as good as Merecon.
But it is definitely a little stronger than the aerospace industry, Kanxing's group of high IQ...
Moreover, there has been a global cooperation there, and he is also continuing to merge other companies.
The most important thing is that the time flow rate of Kan Star is ten times that of the earth!
