Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks?

Chapter 190



Texas.

The southernmost peninsula launch base

“Mr. Musk, it has been just over a month since the last launch. It is said that SpaceX plans to launch 50 satellites at a time. What is the reason for your urgency?”

“I heard that after Hongqi developed a high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine, the US stock market’s future valuation of SpaceX has declined. What do you think about this? ?”

“There are rumors that Hongqi will build a Starlink system that is unique to China. Will SpaceX’s existing Starlink be impacted by then? Are you afraid of the future?”

…………

Facing the interview with several microphones and cameras, Musk’s face turned green and he was a little confused by the questions.

Today is a good day for the Falcon 9 to launch again.

“Unlike Starship, Falcon 9 is mainly responsible for launching satellites into space. As the most mature product of SpaceX, there is no problem of launch failure.

Before the launch, there is also a wave of media interviews as usual.

The launch of Starlink satellites is also something worth promoting.

What’s more, this time, fifty satellites are to be launched at one time!

This number of satellite launches has broken through the existing technical bottleneck. The previous record of SpaceX was to launch 47 satellites at one time!

However, due to the huge success of Hongqi, the stock market has changed, causing many capital parties to decline their evaluation of SpaceX and become a little pessimistic.

Now, part of SpaceX’s business is to help other small countries launch satellites. If Hongqi in China also successfully realizes reusable rockets and the cost is lower, then the local tyrants in some small countries will have to shift their targets.

Now these media will naturally not miss this great opportunity to catch the topic.

All kinds of sharp questions were asked right away.

Musk:”……”

He really wanted to slap the media in front of him.

But under the attention of the live broadcast, it was obviously impossible to do so.

He could only suppress his anger and act as if nothing had happened.

“My friend, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. The launch of Starlink satellites is something SpaceX has been doing for a long time. Why is it urgent? Moreover, this time they are launching 50 satellites at once, which is another historical record for commercial aerospace.……”

“As for Hongqi, to be honest, SpaceX has never considered it a competitor. Although they have developed the core rocket engine, it will take a long time to verify the launch of satellites. If they want to realize rocket recovery technology, I don’t know when it will be.”

“Everyone knows that China does not have rocket recovery technology, so it cannot pose a threat to Falcon 9 and Starlink!!”

Musk shrugged and immediately smiled. Just kidding.

He, Ma, has been working in the aerospace industry for so many years.

Even if Hongqi really develops a space engine, so what?

Can it also break through rocket recovery and Starlink satellite technology at the same time?

It took him a full ten years. It is impossible for Hongqi to break through in such a short time.

“Mr. Musk……”

After answering the question, several media wanted to ask more questions.

Musk interrupted them directly:

“Next, let’s enjoy the launch of Falcon 9, which sent 50 Starlink satellites into space at one time.……”

If he lets these media outlets continue to play their roles, he might not be able to suppress his inner irritation.

“Launching 50 Starlink satellites at one time, this old guy Musk is really anxious”

“It is also believed that Hongqi cannot pose a threat to SpaceX. If this is true, why has the market assessment changed?”

“Obviously, they have begun to get scared, starting from the announcement that Hongqi has developed a space engine”

“SpaceX has long been hailed as the world’s leading private aerospace company, but now its status is being challenged.……”

“What? Are you going to set off fireworks again?”

“The launch vehicle this time was not a Starship, but a Falcon 9, a launch vehicle specifically designed to send Starlink satellites into space. It should not explode, and it can be recovered.”

……

Many comments came out. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

You can see that many of them are from China.

They all came out to watch the fun.

They were eager to see Musk’s rocket explode again and set off”big fireworks” again.

However[]

When they learned that the Falcon 9 would not explode, they were a little disappointed.

The rest of them were going to stay and see what it would be like to launch fifty satellites at once.

The last time China set a record, it only launched 10 satellites at once.

Although I don’t know if it’s the limit.

But if Musk can successfully launch fifty satellites this time, some people might start to brag that the moon is rounder abroad.

……

In full view of the public.

As the rocket launch pad is ready.

Ignition.

With a bang!

The huge tail flame and reverse thrust force send the”Falcon 9″ into the sky.

The whole process was filmed on the ground and the satellite rocket sent back clear pictures. When the”Falcon 9″ entered the low orbit, the first-stage rocket began to disintegrate and launched a row of eye-catching light spots into the space orbit.

These are the Starlink satellites arranged in sequence in the fairing.

The overall volume is not large, so from the ground it is just a small round light spot.

When seeing the Starlink satellites gradually entering the orbit in the sent-back picture.

Musk immediately smiled.

This launch was a success.

For the next period of time, you can pretend to be cool again!

“My friends, you have seen now, this is the strength of SpaceX, launching fifty satellites at a time, and being able to recover the carrier rocket, this is the technical embodiment of the world’s first private aerospace company!!”

In the past two months.

Musk talked most about the aerospace field.

As for Tesla cars and driverless cars, which he once talked about, he kept silent. He repeatedly showed off in car manufacturing and boasted in the field of autonomous driving. He was originally the”king of boasting”. Even the world’s auto giants could not suppress the limelight. As a result, he was slapped in the face by the emergence of Hongqi. He was repeatedly whipped and his face was swollen.

Frustrated in the automobile market, Musk was holding back a fire in his heart and wanted to double his efforts in the aerospace field.

At this time.

The assistant came in with an anxious look on his face

“Boss, it’s bad… Huaxia Network just got a message that Hongqi is going to broadcast a rocket ignition test live!!”

When this message came, the wonderful expression on Musk’s old face froze instantly!!
