Back To 1995

   Chapter 812 Painting Pie

   Seeing Lori Javier leaving, Adrian couldn't help raising his glass to Song Yang. He also had an eye-opening feeling today.

   Now Adrian understands a little, why so many people have rushed to deliver money to Song Yang over the past few years. Song Yang's pie is so round and delicious!

Lori Javier was tricked in, but Adrian saw it clearly. He established a scientific research university with NASA, jointly developed the NASA brand, etc. It seems that NASA also took some advantage, but in fact , no matter how you look at it, it's like taking NASA's money to do SpaceX's own business!

   After the scientific research university was built, it was said to be cultivating talents for NASA, but at that time, if the price of the space exploration company is high, will the people who come out then go to NASA or Song Yang?

   When he came out of the golf club, Song Yang had a slight smell of alcohol on his body. The shops on the street outside had already started to decorate the Christmas decorations, and another year of Christmas was coming.

   "Invested by Bruno Song's North American Global Investment Foundation, America's first private space exploration company, Apollo Space Exploration, was officially announced today!

  In an exclusive interview with this media, Bruno Song will invest no less than US$1.5 billion in the world's first space exploration company. Bruno claimed that this is the most fulfilling company he has ever invested in..."

  Before Christmas, Houston TV was the first to report the news of Apollo Space Exploration Company, which made the rumored news finally become a reality. As soon as it came up, it was a big deal, and Song Yang directly smashed 1.5 billion US dollars.

It seems quite bluffing, but when people in the aerospace industry saw this news, they were a little disappointed. Compared with space projects that cost billions of dollars, 1.5 billion dollars, it is estimated that they even heard a loud voice. are not enough.

   But the news that came out later made the entire technology industry feel that something was wrong.

"Yes, Apollo Space Exploration Company is to solve the problem that the cost of rocket launch is too high. We need to develop recyclable and reusable rocket launchers. Maybe it won't be long before the cost of launching a rocket will not be in the thousand Ten thousand dollars, but a million, maybe even half a million dollars..."

On the    TV station, Tom Mueller, the newly appointed chief technology officer of Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, said in a dull tone that he recited some stumbling answers.

Tom Mueller, an honest man, was recommended by Lori Javier to join the Apollo Space Exploration Company, but the first thing he did when he joined the company was to face the camera and tout the bright future of the Apollo Space Exploration Company. Tom Mueller is not familiar with the answers to the interview, but as a technician, he feels a little ashamed.

  Those who do technology know that the most important cost of space projects is the launch of a rocket. This is a real one-time large toy. Just one click, 10 million US dollars will be gone.

   If he can really do what he said and get a rocket that can be recovered multiple times, then Tom Mueller feels that the space exploration industry can really enter a new era!

  Tom Mueller is still reciting the answer, "Apollo Space Exploration Company will undertake experiments such as space launch projects, space tourism, space material transportation, and Mars exploration and settlement in the future!"

It sounds really tall, but when he thinks that many of his former colleagues and even people in the industry will see his interview today, Tom Mueller can't help but blush a little. He is not good at bragging. He mentioned that he was on Mars When it comes to settlements, it's almost exhausting.

   But immediately after the interview, Tom Mueller received a Christmas present worth more than $170,000, a new Dodge Tomahawk Viper, his favorite car.

The new owner is very generous. Previously, Tom Mueller worked as an engineer at TRW Company, the company that developed the landing power system of the Apollo moon landing spacecraft. The annual salary is only 150,000 US dollars. The aerospace industry has been visible to the naked eye in recent years. The recession, TRW companies, orders are also decreasing day by day, and it is impossible for Tom Mueller to offer them a high salary.

   "The Apollo Space Exploration Corporation headquarters will take some time to complete. We have reached a cooperation agreement with NASA and the Houston Space Center. Before that, Dr. Mueller, you can temporarily use the Houston Space Center's office and experimental equipment!"

  Marcus represented Song Yang, along with Apollo SpaceX executives, including Mueller, as well as COO Gwen Shotwell from a low-cost rocket manufacturer.

Apollo Space Exploration Company, which had nothing, basically relied on digging for its management and R&D teams. Thompson, the structural designer of the "Hercules" rocket, was poached from McDodge, and the rocket test director Busa was poached from Boeing at a high price. Wait, these experienced and veteran engineers formed the R&D basic team of Apollo space exploration.

The remaining engineers, Apollo Space Exploration Company, poached people from major universities, and did not continue to choose to hire veteran engineers, Apollo Space Exploration Company, what they have to do is in the eyes of the aerospace industry. It requires a group of stunned R&D personnel who are not afraid of the sky and the earth and believe that they can change the world!

   They have not been beaten by society, their will has not been exhausted, their vision and experience have not been fixed, they may face many failures, but they may also create miracles. After all, young people have infinite possibilities!

In addition to these reasons, there is one reason that has not been said yet. Of course, these young engineers are cheap. After the wave of poaching by Apollo Space Exploration Company, the value of engineers in the entire aerospace industry began to soar. Boeing, McDodge, TRW Waiting for the company, they are preventing Apollo Space Exploration Company from poaching people. It is not easy to poach people casually. It is much cheaper to poach graduates of these colleges and universities!

   "Mueller, Song hopes that you can develop a rocket engine with greater thrust and load than the RD180 rocket engine!"

   "Gwen, by June next year at the latest, Apollo Space Exploration Company needs to complete a successful launch and send the rocket to space!"

Marcus explained the mission to the executives of Apollo Space Exploration. In June next year, if the market of the technology industry does not collapse, Apollo Space Exploration, which has successfully launched a rocket, can take the opportunity to make a final round. money…

   "I'd love to agree with Mueller, but my professionalism tells me he's farting!"

   The director of the British Space Agency, after seeing Tom Mueller's interview, began to scolded, thinking that Mueller was completely fooling people, and even shouted that Apollo Space Exploration Company is here to deceive people.

But at this time, Apollo Space Exploration Company released the second wave of news. On the news, we can see that a remote industrial park in Germany has already appeared on a construction site with Apollo Space Exploration Company and Yeadex Group hanging on it. There is a sign, and in the workshop that is not fully covered, you can see the huge rocket engine parts!
