I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 581: 467-468: Qinglong No. 4000 Launched! ( words)
Running a company is basically the same as managing a country, which means you need to have income while controlling expenses.

The source of income is excellent industries.

What is an excellent industry?
Others can see it, but they can never catch it!
Or in other words, in this era, no one can pose a threat to you.

To put it simply, it is an industrial structure with extremely high technological barriers.

What Hillhouse wants to do now is actually very clear, which is to elevate the entire Hillhouse industrial chain, in terms of ecological niche, to a height that all Chinese companies dream of.

Hillhouse Aerospace is not a very profitable thing, but such a thing is at the top level in the entire industrial chain!

Whether it is in interdisciplinary materials science, flight control, or the real-time application of artificial intelligence.

It is safe to say that such a company is unlikely to push the entire Hillhouse Group to what extent in some unfamiliar black technology fields.

Time flies. After several unsuccessful tests, with the guidance of Qian Jin and the assistance of Hillhouse's major branches, Hillhouse Aerospace's first rocket product, Qinglong-1, was experimentally launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center!
At this point in time, only a year and a half had passed since Hillhouse Aerospace was established.

Even if its engine is a combination of aerospace engines from the First Academy and the Sixth Academy, and it paid a considerable amount of patent transfer fees to both, this result is still very shocking!

Compared with the rocket development of Han Country, which is also a project of its own, Hillhouse’s speed and efficiency are many times higher!

It is outrageous that the efficiency of a company is higher than that of a country's department, and a department that is a developed country.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation.

Although this is only the debut of Hillhouse Aerospace, a company with no performance in the industry, it is Hillhouse after all!

Moreover, the flag has already been raised: Falcon 2 version 1.0 will be released in 5 years, and the complete version of Falcon will be released in years.

This makes people have to take it seriously!
In the past, many people thought that Hillhouse’s words were too arrogant, and they wanted to see them get slapped in the face every time.

but. . .

They didn't hit him in the face every time!

The incredible idea of ​​'Internet of Everything' should be impossible to achieve, right?
As a result, the emergence of Hillhouse Life+ represents the transformation of modern life towards a more sci-fi direction, shocking all those who scoffed at the concept of "Internet of Everything".

This was followed by the output of the 'ALL IN AI' concept.

Hillhouse Capital is almost the first company in the world to start research and development of artificial intelligence.

It was against this backdrop that Hillhouse took only a few years to turn artificial intelligence from a pile of old papers into reality, even though the whole world felt that it was still a long way from reality.

And now there is the possibility of becoming strong artificial intelligence, announcing the arrival of a new human era.

Therefore, with the previous two realities that seemed impossible to accomplish in the eyes of everyone, the emergence of Hillhouse Aerospace now becomes a question of whether Hillhouse can really achieve it!

Soon, both the central bank and other foreign media set up cameras at the launch site of the Jiuquan Aviation Center and took a lot of photos of the lonely big rocket in front of them.

Almost all overseas mainstream media arrived at the scene!
The experimental launch of a rocket actually caused such a big commotion.

In China, only Hillhouse Capital can do it.

"Does Hillhouse really have that much confidence to launch this rocket into space?" The leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology asked with some concern as he looked at the huge rocket in front of him.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here.

This is the territory of two giant state-owned enterprises in the aerospace industry.

China does not have a dedicated space ministry.

Now, Hillhouse Aerospace, as a new product of commercial aerospace, is now under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

"To be honest, I'm not very sure." Gao Huaijun put his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

"What? Not sure?" The leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was already a little worried, and now he was even more shocked.

In China, the most important thing is stability!

There are so many reporters, not to mention those from the central bank, there are also so many foreign reporters.

Are you telling me now that you are not sure?

If the rocket launch really fails, it would be such a shame!
This is not Musk's territory.

It doesn’t matter if you fail countless times. No one cares anyway. So as long as you succeed once, that’s OK. No problem.

"Haha! Leader Jiang, don't worry so much."

"Just kidding, Hillhouse is confident in what it does."

Gao Huaijun laughed and said to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Hillhouse Aerospace has naturally made preparations for its first appearance. However, whether this preparation is useful enough depends on whether Hillhouse Aerospace itself can succeed!
The central bank also sent several camera crews to prepare for the launch of the Qinglong-1 rocket.

At this time, a special large trailer was slowly towed out from a low-rise building with the Hillhouse Aerospace logo printed on it.

According to the report of the Central Bank, the Hillhouse Qinglong-1 rocket was slowly dragged to the launch platform of the Jiuquan Launch Center three days ago.

And stood it up!

Accompanied by bursts of cheers, Qinglong-1 stood quietly on the launch pad, emitting cold smoke, like a noble young man.

"What is this?" The leader of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology looked at Gao Huaijun with some confusion.

"Our rocket mainly uses cryogenic liquid propellant, that is, liquid methane. At the same time, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are also used in the second-stage rocket. The boiling points of these propellants at normal pressure are lower than the ambient temperature, causing the water vapor in the surrounding air to condense into water droplets when it is cold, forming white smoke."

"it `s just normal."

Liu Changjun, the general manager of Hillhouse Aerospace, who was standing nearby, looked at the scene in front of him calmly and said with a smile.

However, his mood at the moment was not as calm as it appeared.

He thought it was just an ordinary starting test.

If it were an ordinary commercial aerospace company, it is estimated that no media reporter would come back.

At most, commercial aerospace companies would beg to send a copy of the information to journalists who were willing to help forward it, and then it would just pass by under the attention of space enthusiasts.

However, he never imagined that Hillhouse’s appeal was so strong!

Not only the central bank came, but also the senior leaders of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and even the four major television media in the beautiful country, almost all of them came!
The arrival of the central bank represents concern and condolences.

But when the four major media outlets from the United States come here, they may not have good intentions.

In this post-free trade era after Hillhouse Capital’s self-firing.

The globalized order established by Western white leftists has faced tremendous challenges.

How much wealth has this order created over the past few decades?

How many contradictions are concealed by this wealth?
Once globalization is reversed, these wealth will disappear and the contradictions they conceal will be exposed.

So, as the core representatives of the Western white left, how can the four major television media in the United States be willing to end like this?

But the question is, the West has benefited the most from globalization, so why are they dissatisfied with Hillhouse now? In the final analysis, it is still the four words they have always avoided: class and distribution!

In a Western society where classes have become solidified, to put it bluntly, the hereditary class has become largely solidified.

A cleaner's son is still a cleaner, a congressman's son is still a congressman, and a banker's son is still a banker.

It is already difficult for them to allow newcomers to enter within the existing framework!

If the Chinese capital represented by Hillhouse Capital takes a share of their pie in the high-end market, will they still have a share in afternoon tea?

Do they still have 365 days of vacation out of 160 days a year?
This is a kind of hatred that will destroy your job!

There is no one who is always superior in this world!

In the history of China, there was a very powerful and prominent family called Qinghe Cui. They rose in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and continued until the Five Dynasties, experiencing seven hundred years of ups and downs.

And more than ten prime ministers appeared!
And so they didn't survive.

You Westerners, do you deserve to be the superior people forever?

Therefore, compared with others, the four major television media in the United States hope that Qinglong No. 1 will crash directly!
Gao Huaijun seemed to see Liu Changjun's anxiety at this time, and the corners of his mouth slightly smiled. He patted his shoulder gently with his hand to express his relief.

Hillhouse’s position is now in place, with its four core industry matrices, namely Hillhouse Technology, Hillhouse Vehicles, Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence, and Hillhouse Chips, already taking shape.

As long as you have these four magical tools in your hands, time is Hillhouse’s best friend!

Even if Qinglong No. 1 crashes, what is there to be afraid of?
SpaceX has crashed many times, but the Falcon 9 was also successful.

This is what engineering is all about. As long as you withstand the pressure, keep iterating, discover problems and then solve them, you can achieve success.

While they were talking, the rocket launch had entered the countdown!
As the countdown of ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, and one sounded at the scene, the traction frames on both sides were directly unfolded and the rocket took off directly into the air!

At this time, the scene was packed with people!

The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center is located in EJNQ, China, which is a sparsely populated place.

But today, at least several thousand people gathered in its aerospace city to watch the launch of Hillhouse Aerospace's first rocket, Qinglong-1.

Gao Huaijun and Liu Changjun beside him no longer had the relaxed look they had at the beginning, and their expressions became very serious.

The Rockets have the concept of a minute of death.

That is to say, if there is an original problem with the rocket engine, it will explode directly within the first minute after takeoff!
The rocket of the Third Brother and the Luo Lao ship of the Han Country both disintegrated during this period.

Whether it was Gao Huaijun and others, or the crowd present, they all looked at the rocket in front of them with serious expressions.

At the same time, the cheers at the scene became louder and louder!

The rocket started moving.

Moreover, his movements and forms are very good.

The staff at the Jiuquan Launch Center also nervously watched the launch posture of the rocket in front of them.

They are now more nervous than in any previous launch mission!
After all, because the launch latitude of the Jiuquan Launch Center is relatively high, generally speaking, rockets with large payloads and high uncertainty are sent to the South China Sea Province for launch, while those that remain in Jiuquan are those with small payloads and relatively high stability.

Now the Qinglong No. 1 is comparable to the smaller Falcon No. 9.

And there is a high probability that fireworks will be set off on site.

How can they not be nervous?

At this time, one minute later, radar observations were normal, and the flight control attitude, rocket tail flame, rocket body load, etc., all systems were operating relatively well.

The biggest concern is whether it can have a strong and powerful heart.

And now, the heart of this rocket has withstood the test!

Three minutes later, the staff at the Jiuquan Launch Center couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The tourists at the scene couldn't help but shout even louder when they saw the rocket flying higher and higher.

【Awesome! 】

[This is crazy! This is crazy! Can you imagine that a person who plays with a mobile phone can actually play with rockets, and can play so well! ]

[If Qinglong-1 can succeed, it will create a new history in the development of China's commercial aerospace industry! ]

[It’s really unimaginable! 】

[Incredible! So incredible! ]

Liu Changjun at the launch center is more nervous than anyone else. Whether he can succeed or not depends on this one chance.

The next moment will be the biggest test for Qinglong No. 1.

That's when the first stage's fuel burns out and the second stage ignites directly in the air.

This is because if the second stage engine fails to ignite successfully, it will probably be game over.

Completely different from the first-stage rocket's direct ignition on the ground, the ignition of the second-stage rocket is often done at an altitude of 10,000 meters. This places extremely high demands on the rocket's signal transmission and the second-stage rocket's agility.

This technology cannot be achieved by ordinary private companies, not to mention some medium-sized countries, such as our third brother and Han Country!
There is no way, this requires extremely high communication and information technology!

So, judging by the current situation, the most dangerous time is here.

Just as Liu Changjun was in a trance, he heard a call from the ground command center.

"Master, program turn!"

"Changjiang No. 3 has discovered a rocket! Changjiang No. 3 has completed double capture! Changjiang No. 3, tracking is normal!"

"The Emperor understands!"

Immediately, the report broke through the cabin, passed through the dark night over the Pacific Ocean on the other side of the earth, flew to the distant motherland through radio waves, and sounded at the Imperial Capital Flight Control Center.

At the same time, hearing this voice, Liu Changjun wanted to shout without turning his head.

This cry from Changjiang-3 meant that the second ignition of Qinglong-1 had been successful.

"The remote external measurement signal is normal!"

"CJ-3 is out of tracking!"

As soon as the dispatcher's voice fell, warm applause broke out in the originally quiet scene at the Jiuquan Launch Center.

Because they already know that Qinglong-1 has been launched successfully!

Unbelievable!

It’s incredible!
A company that has only been established for two years has completed such a big toy!
