Back to 1995

Chapter 812
Seeing Lori Javier's leaving figure, Adrian couldn't help but raise his glass to Song Yang. He also felt like an eye-opener today.

Now Adrian understands why so many people rush to send money to Song Yang in recent years. Song Yang's pancakes are so round and delicious!
Lori Javier was tricked into it, but Adrian saw it clearly, established a scientific research university with NASA, jointly developed the NASA brand, etc. It seems that NASA also took advantage of it, but in fact No matter how you look at it, it's like taking NASA's money to run the space exploration company's own business!

After the completion of the scientific research university, it is said that it is to train talents for NASA, but when the time comes, if the space exploration company pays a high price, will the people who come out at that time go to NASA or Song Yang?
When he came out of the golf club, Song Yang smelled a little of alcohol, and the shops on the street outside had already started to decorate Christmas decorations, 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 Corporation, officially announced its establishment today!

In an exclusive interview with this media, Bruno Song will make an initial investment of no less than US$15 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 about the Apollo Space Exploration Company, which made the previously rumored news finally become a reality. When it came up, it was a big deal, and Song Yang directly spent 15 billion US dollars.

It seems quite bluffing, but when people in the space industry see this news, they are a little bit less interested. Compared with the space projects that cost billions of dollars, 15 billion dollars, it is estimated that they will not even hear a loud voice Neither is enough.

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

"Yes, the Apollo Space Exploration Company is trying to solve the problem of the high cost of rocket launches. We need to develop recyclable and reusable rocket launchers. Maybe it won't be long before the cost of launching a rocket will not exceed 1000 million. US dollars, but 100 million, or even 50 US dollars..."

On the TV station, Tom Muller, the newly appointed Chief Technology Officer of Apollo Space Exploration Corporation, said in a dull tone the answers that he had recited and stumbled.

As an honest man, Tom Muller was recommended by Lori Javier to join 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 Apollo Space Exploration Company. Tom Muller hasn't memorized the answers to this 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 the rocket. This is a real one-time large toy. With just one click, 1000 million US dollars will be gone.

If he can really do what he said and produce a rocket that can be recycled for multiple launches, then Tom Muller feels that the space exploration industry can really enter a new era!
Tom Muller was still reciting the answer, "Apollo Space Exploration Corporation will undertake space launch projects, space tourism, space material transportation, and Mars exploration and settlement experiments in the future!"

It sounds really tall, but when he thought that many of his former colleagues, even people in the industry, would see his interview today, Tom Muller couldn't help but blush a little. When it comes to settlements, it is almost impossible to blow.

But immediately after the interview, Tom Mueller received a Christmas gift worth more than $17, a new Dodge Tomahawk Viper, his favorite car.

The new owner is very generous. Tom Muller worked as an engineer at TRW, the company that developed the landing power system of the Apollo moon landing spacecraft. His annual salary is only 15 US dollars. In the downturn, orders for companies like TRW are also decreasing day by day, and it is impossible for Tom Muller and the others to offer high salaries.

"The headquarters of the Apollo Space Exploration Corporation 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 offices and experimental equipment at the Houston Space Center!"

On behalf of Song Yang, Marcus talked with the executives of Apollo Space Exploration Company, including Mueller, and the chief operating officer, Gwen Shotwell and others from a low-cost rocket manufacturer.

The Apollo Space Exploration Company, which has nothing, basically relies on poaching for its management and R&D team. It has poached Thompson, the structural designer of the "Hercules" rocket from McDoughy, and Bosa, the rocket testing director, from Boeing at a high price. etc. These experienced veteran engineers formed the basic research and development team of Apollo space exploration.

The remaining engineers, Apollo Space Exploration Company, poached people from famous universities, and did not continue to choose veteran engineers. What Apollo Space Exploration Company wanted to do was, in the eyes of the aerospace industry, it was impossible To solve this problem, we need a group of stunned R&D personnel who are not afraid of anything 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 unlimited possibilities!
In addition to these reasons, one reason that has not been mentioned is that these young engineers are of course cheap. After the wave of poaching by Apollo Space Exploration Company, the value of engineers in the entire aerospace industry has begun to soar. Boeing, McDodge, TRW Companies such as these are all guarding against the Apollo Space Exploration Company poaching people, and it is not easy to poach people casually. It is much cheaper to poach graduates from these universities!
"Mueller, Song hopes that you can develop a rocket engine with greater thrust and load than the RD180 rocket engine!"

"Gwen, by next June at the latest, the 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, then the Apollo Space Exploration Company, which 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 Muller's interview, began to angrily say that Mueller was completely fooling people, and even shouted that Apollo Space Exploration Company was here to deceive people.

But at this time, the Apollo Space Exploration Company released the second wave of news. In the news, you can see a remote industrial park in Germany. A construction site has appeared, with Apollo Space Exploration Company and Yeadex Group hanging on it The logo, and in the factory building that has not been fully built, you can see huge rocket engine parts!
