United States.

California. Pace-x headquarters building, the scene of the press conference.

Masked in the Silicon Valley Fans, facing the audience at the press conference and the shots of the reporters in the major media, he used his unique and powerful voice to explain the future blueprint of spae-x.

At this time, a futuristic bright silver bullet-shaped spaceship is printed on the screen behind him, with a blue planet and innocent space as the background, dragging the narrow arc to soar.

On the side of the spacecraft, in addition to the spae-x logo, the word bfr is also printed.

The theme of this press conference is also built around these three words.

"...The main thrust rocket in the first quarter will be powered by 31 raptor methane rocket engines, the second section will integrate 2 sea level engines and 4 vacuum engines. The fuel tank can store a total of 240 tons of methane, the maximum thrust can Up to the thousand tons... Of course, these are not the keys to my point, the focus is on a series of plans around the bfr spacecraft."

Having said that, Musk paused for a moment and looked around the audience and the camera and continued.

"We will launch two manned spaceships in 2024 to start our plan!"

There were a lot of excuses in the audience, and the reporters who took the long guns and short guns also frantically pressed the shutters in their hands.

aerospace!

Even for Americans, it is nothing new.

But exploring the stars and colonizing outer space is still so fascinating.

If this is not the case, Star Wars will not become a national film of the United States.

Looking at the atmosphere in the field has reached its peak, Musk's mouth pulled a smile and raised his own volume.

"... Once bfr's research and development is completed, it will replace all the launch vehicles we have developed so far, becoming spacecraft capable of performing almost all space missions, from the surface to the moon, or from outer space to Mars. Can be achieved by its power."

"It will redefine our understanding of space."

"It will also redefine our future!"

Later, Musk continued to talk about the advantages of the bfr spacecraft compared to the traditional space rocket, and the spae-x blueprint for the village of Mars.

In the midst of a round of applause, the press conference came to an end.

The reporters at the scene swarmed and surrounded the Musk group that was going down the stage.

After all the interviews were completed, Musk’s mouth was gradually lowered.

After sending away all the reporters, he hurried back to his office, and he was sitting on the office chair, and couldn’t wait to pick up his mobile phone and look at it.

But seeing the line that rises in the jitter on the screen, Musk finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the string that was taut in his heart gradually fell.

Feedback from the stock market told him that the conference was going very smoothly.

The concept map of the bfr spacecraft injected a shot of intensiveness into the tepid aerospace market, and also injected a booster into the investors who believed in him.

Of course, it is still too early to relax.

There is nothing in the capital world that can be said to be good, especially for high-tech companies like them.

Whether investors with pockets full of banknotes can continue to support his dreams, to a certain extent does not depend entirely on what kind of checks he can make, the most fundamental thing is whether he can honor the ones he has ever opened. check.

Fortunately, thanks to the controllable fusion and lithium-sulfur batteries, the new energy auto industry is generally positive, Tesla's share price is gratifying, and investors' confidence in him has recovered a lot compared to a few years ago. However, after all, spaceflight is a brand new field. Even if he does not have 100% confidence, it can always be so smooth.

At this time, the door knocked at the door, and a female secretary in a professional dress walked in quickly.

"President, someone is looking for you outside."

Musk, who was preparing to rest for a while, frowned.

"Who?"

The secretary hesitated and said: "They claim to be cia..."

"Ci's people?" Musk slightly hesitated, the index finger and thumb pinched with a pen cover to play, "I don't remember I have an appointment."

Just halfway through the words, the office door was rudely pushed away, and the two men in black coats came in one after the other.

The two men cast a dissatisfied sight, and Musk stared at the two men who came in without knocking on the door.

"I don't seem to agree with you coming in, or do you get the court's investigation authorization?"

"Sorry, Mr. Musk, but the situation is urgent, I hope you can forgive me," and ignored the dissatisfaction on Musk’s face. The black agent showed his credentials and continued, "You can call me for the first time." Aiden."

Staring at the black detective for a moment, Musk suddenly frowned and leaned back in the chair.

"Muske... Anyway, you know me, I don't introduce myself, do you want some coffee?"

The detective behind Aiden said: "No, we are in a hurry."

"That," looked at the female secretary standing next to the desk. Musk said casually, "Eliza, help me make a cup of latte."

"Okay, Mr. President." The secretary nodded and turned and walked outside the door.

Aiden: "..."

Agent: "..."

About five minutes have elapsed, and the coffee is finally coming up.

Aiden, who didn't plan to waste time, asked straightforwardly.

"We learned that about two months ago, Star Technology had ordered a batch of parts worth $20 million, right?"

Musk thought for a while, did have this thing, so he nodded.

"Yes... I remember that the parts were not on the ban item. Is there any problem?"

Aiden continued to say: "The problem is not on the parts, but on what parts are used."

Not being scared by his tone, Musk said impatiently: "What customers are doing is not something we care about, the rest of the things I suggest you consult customs."

Musk's attitude frowned, but Aiden did not say anything, and continued to take a vague picture from his arms and threw it on the table.

Seeing the space shuttle on this photo, Musk, who was originally a high-profile agent for this group of cia, immediately sat up in his chair with interest and got closer.

"this is?"

"Your customer, or future competitor. Its name is 'Auspicious', the pronunciation is very strange." Aiden shrugged and continued, "It is said that they have adopted the latest electric propulsion system, and we are investigating this matter."

"Wait, electricity?" Musk opened his mouth and glanced at the man standing in front of the desk with a gaze. "Electric propulsion? Are you sure that it is electric propulsion?"

"I'm sure," Aiden nodded. "Our source of intelligence is reliable, although not detailed."

Shaking his head with a smile, Musk returned to the office chair.

The somewhat interesting look that was left in the eyes has become a clear mockery.

"Aiden police officer, or the detective is still a gentleman. Although I don't know much about the process of cia handling, as a taxpayer, I sincerely recommend that you change to a more professional person to do these jobs. ... electric propulsion? Use electric propulsion to send the space shuttle to the sky?" Musk shook his head and smiled. "Even if I can't blow this cow."

Aiden’s look is dignified: “Can't electric propulsion not do it?”

“I can’t do it,” Musk said without hesitation. “Even if it’s our most advanced electric propulsion technology, the thrust is in the order of n. And if you want to let the spacecraft run from the surface to the outer space, at least Got the magnitude of kn!"

Aiden and the agent next to him looked at each other.

The agent's lips moved.

"The same is true of the people of Nasa... Will it be that we think more?"

Aiden, who was immersed in contemplation, was dignified and did not speak.

He would rather believe that he wants more.

But when I think of the name of Lu Zhou, how can his nervous mood not relax...
