The Reuters reporter who asked the question couldn't help but be startled after hearing Zhuang Jianye's rhetorical question. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Zhuang Jianye meant. Zhuang Jianye couldn't give him time to figure it out, so he sat on the stage again. Walking leisurely, he said: "I don't know what answer the reporter from Reuters will give me just now, but no matter what answer, one thing is certain, human beings are civilized creatures that have evolved over the past 4.6 billion years on the earth. Already accustomed to a life based on atmosphere, water and carbohydrates.
Yes, I am very used to it, but I also find it very sad, because compared to the vast universe, our tiny individuals are like ants, we can only see one-third of an acre of land under our feet, and we can only live for the immediate benefit. It's so sad to live like this. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Jianye showed a look of compassion on his face. Accompanied by his smart and simple attire, he looked like a saint thinking about the most profound ultimate philosophy, which suddenly attracted everyone in the venue.
But what Zhuang Jianye said next made everyone present stunned: "So I miss the past Cold War era very much. The fierce arms race prompted the superpowers to continue to extend into outer space, scrambling to set foot outside the earth. , but what about now?"
Zhuang Jianye spread his hands: "After the end of the Cold War, horses began to be herded in Nanshan. The United States and Russia rushed to reduce the research and development expenses for space exploration, and cut investment in scientific research in related disciplines. Some people actually say that this is an advancement of civilization. Let me say, Those who express such views are the common enemies of mankind."
After saying this, Zhuang Jianye looked very excited and danced as if he wanted to hit someone. Finally, with a big wave of his hand, a shocking picture immediately appeared on the curtain behind him. There were wars, problems, poverty, pollution, and Violence¡¡
There are dozens of similar photos. When combined together, they are shocking and also creepy to many people.
"But Zhuang Jianye stretched out his hand to the curtain behind him: "This is the current situation of our humanity. Peaceful times are always just an appearance. Depletion of resources, backwardness and real poverty, and the ever-widening gap between rich and poor are the normal state of our world."
At this time, a female reporter suddenly stood up and asked jokingly: "Mr. Zhuang, is your training aircraft designed to solve problems that politicians from all over the world cannot solve?"
Before he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter. Zhuang Jianye¡¯s alarmist words came one after another, but none of them answered the question of the Reuters reporter just now.
That¡¯s all, but it actually involves a lot of social problems. Are these things something you, an aviation manufacturing company, can handle?
Zhuang Jianye was not annoyed by the female reporter's joking questions and the laughter of the audience. Instead, he smiled and waited for the audience to quiet down before nodding: "Yes, after all, we want to land on the moon again, then expedition to Mars, and finally on the moon." Before establishing a base on Mars and developing the ambitious goal of developing mineral deposits in the asteroid belt outside Mars, our Ascendas Group needs to do some initial capital accumulation. To put it bluntly, we need to make money."
Everyone in the venue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then they all laughed softly. They felt that Zhuang Jianye's words were really fantasy. Landing on the moon was relatively reliable, and an expedition to Mars also required the establishment of a base. , or even develop mineral deposits in the asteroid belt.
Who does Zhuang Jianye think he is? Superman or Man of Steel? Can you talk a little more nonsense? No science fiction novel would dare to write like this, okay?
The one who laughed most arrogantly was the Reuters reporter who asked the question. He intuitively felt that the funniest joke in the world was Zhuang Jianye¡¯s remarks just now. What kind of brain circuit can he come up with such unreliable reveries? Just like a delusional man who escaped from a mental hospital, I really don¡¯t know how this Zhuang Jianye became the helmsman of Ascendas Group.
Of course, you don't know that he, a Reuters reporter, has nothing to do with him. Since there are loopholes in Zhuang Jianye's words, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity to humiliate him. He dares to call himself an idiot in a different way. Let's see who is the real one? Idiot.
So the Reuters reporter quickly stood up and asked: "So Mr. Zhuang has already made a preliminary plan. I don't know about your fantasy Um I'm sorry, should I say how far has the space exploration plan been implemented?"
"Even if you don't ask questions, I am taking this opportunity to announce something to all the friends who care about Ascendas Group. That is, last year Ascendas Group established Space Origin Company, which focuses on space exploration. In less than a year, Within a short period of time, we successfully obtained an order from China Great Wall Industrial Group Corporation to undertake the production and manufacturing of boosters for the Long March series of launch vehicles, and successfully participated in the launch mission of the Asia-Pacific-1 communication satellite in July, thereby taking our Ascendas Group's space career The first step of exploration.¡±
Before the Reuters reporter finished speaking, Zhuang Jianye laughed.He took the conversation and immediately waved his hand. The curtain behind him seemed to be equipped with artificial intelligence. The screen switched instantly, and a huge imaginary picture of a launch vehicle appeared. Zhuang Jianye stood in front of the picture and said slowly. : ¡°Due to the intervention of our Space Origin Company, the launch cost of the Long March series of launch vehicles has been reduced from the original US$15,000 per kilogram to US$13,800 per kilogram.
This is just a small achievement of our Space Origin Company, and our ultimate goal is to reduce the launch cost to five thousand US dollars per kilogram. Yes, you heard it right, it is reduced to one-third of the existing cost. Of course there are people I would ask, how does your Space Origin Company achieve this?
My answer is, just reuse the launch vehicle Don't get excited, gentlemen and ladies, our Space Origin Company's mid-term goal is to make the launch vehicle as autonomous and controllable as the space shuttle, traveling between heaven and earth, and reused . "
When everyone in the venue heard Zhuang Jianye¡¯s words, it was like listening to a science fiction novel, no, it should be a fantasy novel. They always felt as if they were sleepwalking. Everyone knows that the space shuttle travels back and forth between heaven and earth, but can the launch vehicle do the same?
Everyone in the venue felt that Zhuang Jianye was just having a whim. You must know that there were people operating the space shuttle, and it was only possible to achieve it with the high-tech and capital injection of the entire United States. Although it is said that reuse reduces costs, the actual cost is lower than Ordinary spaceships are much taller.
From this point onwards, Zhuang Jianye said that the Space Origin Company they established wanted to reuse launch vehicles, which was so stupid that many people thought it was Zhuang Jianye's gimmick for Ascendas Group to enter the aerospace business.
Of course, there are a very small number of people who think Zhuang Jianye¡¯s idea is very novel and are looking forward to the subsequent development of Space Origin Company.
However, whether it was ridicule or expectation, everyone's attention was attracted to Zhuang Jianye's vast space exploration plan. No one cared whether the trainer aircraft was military equipment or whether it deviated from Ascendas Group's peace-loving and non-military production A declaration of equipment.
There is no way, compared to the latter, the sea of ??stars is more eye-catching, it really doesn¡¯t respect national boundaries.
