The second weekend in April.

The morning serenity in North American cities was completely broken by a newspaper.

At the headline of the new issue of the Washington Post, a striking headline shocked all pedestrians before the newspaper stopped.

"Aris plans a major breakthrough! Ares Life Support Unit Lands Successfully! The era of great sailing is setting off! 》

Compared to the New York Times, as the largest, oldest and most authoritative newspaper in North America, the Washington Post, which once played an important role in the Watergate incident and the Iran-Iraq war, is undoubtedly more authoritative. There are many, and the reliability of the news is far from comparable to that of ordinary newspapers.

Even white-collar workers who are completely uninterested in newspapers, after seeing this eye-catching headline, can't help but throw a dollar change on the newsstand and stuff the newspaper into a briefcase that they carry with them. I plan to take it to work.

The newly-launched newspaper was almost brewed with ink-scented oil temperature, which was snapped up and sold out!

For this unexpected situation, the Washington Post had to contact the cooperating printing factory to urgently print millions of newspapers and send them to the major newsstands and sales outlets.

South of the San Francisco Bay Area, near the old town on the edge of Silicon Valley.

In a cobbler shop on the corner, there are a few drunkards lying in threes and twos, enjoying early office workers before going to work, and several old men who are obviously retired and sitting here just to pass the time.

Holding an oil-stained newspaper in his hand, the white old man sitting next to the bar counter of the Cobb Row shop muttered quietly. The expression on his face became more and more shocking. Then he reached out and held the old friend sitting next to him with incredible Said his voice.

"Hey, have you heard? Space-X's BFR rocket successfully delivered the life support unit to Mars!"

"God ... this is crazy!"

"I heard! There is more than just what you said. I heard that the newly manufactured BFS spacecraft has been equipped with BFR rockets. Space-X has reported to NASA the next part of the launch plan. Soon Musk will send Our colonists sent to Mars. "

"It sounds interesting. The era of great sailing is beginning. Maybe we should open a bottle of champagne for the victory of the BFR rocket."

"Oh, don't do that, I don't want to get drunk early in the morning."

"Haha, what's the matter? This is for the Statue of Liberty!"

Cobbled by a group of people, the owner of the Rib Shop brought a beer with a smile.

A hangover drunk man was woken up by a television hanging beside the bar. He opened his sleepy eyes stupidly, and he faintly heard the people talking next to him. He staggered up the wine glass that he had already drank in his hand, and said loudly with a drink.

"Let us be the future of the United States ... oh, toast!"

At the same time, the morning news broadcast on the TV, the host who was reporting on the football game last night, suddenly received a manuscript handed over from the side, and the expression on his face instantly became wonderful.

"A piece of news is inserted below at zero ... according to news from NASA, the BFR rocket launched last month successfully reached Mars orbit and dropped the life support unit it carried."

"The surprise came too suddenly. I'm not ready yet. Please allow me to take a deep breath ..." The host standing in front of the TV took several deep breaths, faced the camera again, and was excited. He said in a somewhat perverted tone, "It's incredible! We succeeded!"

...

It's not just the Americans who were shocked by the BFR rocket.

When NASA officially announced on the official page, the news that the life support unit successfully landed on the surface of Mars immediately caused an uproar in the world!

At almost the same time, Space-X immediately held a press conference and was hosted by star entrepreneur Musk in person. He introduced the public to the role of Space-X in the Ares project and the legendary BFR super rocket. How to toss a payload of 25 tons from the surface of the Earth to Mars.

Wearing a lifelong black suit and gray shirt, it is said that Musk, who has only one set of clothes in the closet, came to the stage and preached to the audience with a provocative and passionate voice.

"... The life support unit is only the first step of the Ares plan! We will continue to send more colonists to the surface of Mars to open up the frontiers of our civilization."

"We welcome anyone to join us, regardless of his gender, nationality, status, identity ... and everything. As long as you have a passionate heart for the great cause of humankind, we are friends!"

"The future is approaching us, whether to embrace the future or to watch it pass by our eyes ..."

"The choice is yours!"

The moment the voice fell, the venue of the press conference was filled with applause.

After the press conference.

With the news that Ares landed on the surface of Mars, Space-X's stock price soared like wings, soaring on US stocks.

Not only that, but also the Blue Origin, which is also involved in the design of life support units. A series of high-tech aerospace companies hatched by Silicon Valley and Seattle have enjoyed the most fat steak in this capital feast.

The space race seems to usher in a turning point.

Faced with the strength of China on the "Lunar Plan", the United States, as an old space power, once again demonstrated to the world their unstoppable strength in the aerospace field.

Even Lu Zhou had to admit that the 25-ton Mars orbital delivery capability and the unusual route of the launch route, the BFR rocket standing on the shoulders of giants, its technology is indeed powerful to a certain extent.

At the same time when international media reported on the success of the BFR rocket, the BBC report finally came out.

Following the report on China ’s lunar orbiting space station, this time the British guys also stood on an objective ... or in a lively stand, and reported on the success of the first phase of the Ares program in the United States.

"... Musk's SpaceX has the potential to become Maersk in the future universe. If the former Falcon 9 rocket is regarded as a wooden sailing ship that can just go to the ocean, today's BFR is a steam sailing ship."

"From Space-X's never-ending exploration in the field of technology, we can clearly see their determination to be brave and enterprising in the future. Maybe we can really have this unrealistic expectation and look forward to a not too far away They can go further in the field of technology and continue to study diesel giants in the interplanetary sense, and even mobile 'big mountains' like the Sea Giant ... "

"It seems too early to discuss these things ~ www.readwn.com ~ but if this momentum continues, Space-X may really be able to occupy the dominant position of the market by virtue of its first-mover advantage and formulate for the global launch industry Standards and thresholds. "

"It is more interesting that we noticed that the professor Lu of Hua Guo said in an interview with the media not long ago that he would build the space launch project department of Starry Sky Technology into the future 'interplanetary railway transportation company' . "

"So it seems that in the near future, Star Technology, which monopolizes more than 80% of China's space launch missions, may become Space-X's biggest competitor."

"At present, the competition between China and the United States in the aerospace field is gradually entering a white-hot period."

"The first phase of the fight seemed to end in a draw."

"Whether it is China or the United States, both sides seem to be unswervingly on their own paths and have their own trump cards."

"One is a world-renowned scientist, and one is a visionary businessman ... Who will win this race? Let us wait and see!"
