Rebirth 08: Rise from copycat phones

Chapter 286: The Sea Recycling That Shocked the World

On March 14, the weather was sunny and windy at the Nanmen Space Launch Center.

Many media and a large number of ordinary people once again gathered on some surrounding high ground to watch the rocket launch and subsequent recovery of Nanmen Aerospace.

According to a rough estimate, at least 200,000 people gathered in the surrounding areas to watch this launch and the subsequent, more important, sea recovery of the No. 5 rocket.

The hotels around the launch site have been fully booked long ago and are almost fully occupied.

Because Nanmen Aerospace had announced on its official website that it would conduct a second sea recovery test of the No. 5 rocket today, some media and technology enthusiasts who were interested in this came early to wait and watch.

Of course, there are more ordinary tourists who come with their families to watch.

The launch site of Nanmen Aerospace is right on the seashore, and there are also several high grounds nearby that are suitable for watching the launch.

The most important thing is that Nanmen Aerospace has a very high launch frequency, and only with a high frequency of rocket launches can we talk about rocket tourism.

Nanmen Aerospace now launches several times every month, and last year it launched a total of 34 rockets.

The number of 34 launches a year is actually a very large number, directly surpassing the traditional space agencies of various countries and ranking first in the world.

Last year, Russia, which launched the most rockets, only launched more than 20 times, followed by the United States with more than 10 launches, and other countries launched even fewer.

However, Nanmen Aerospace launched the No. 13 rocket times in . It is a mere commercial aerospace company that directly defeated a number of national aerospace agencies. It is terrifying.

And this year, as the technology of Nanmen Aerospace's No. 5B rocket continues to mature, the launch cost is further declining, and the external quotations are more cost-effective, so it has received more commercial launch contracts.

Today, Nanmen Aerospace not only launches a large number of satellites for domestic enterprises and institutions, but also launches satellites for a large number of foreign enterprises and institutions.

It is expected that this year Nanmen Aerospace's No. 5 rocket will be able to launch more than 50 launch missions. In order to meet the huge launch demand, Nanmen Aerospace's rocket production factory is intensively producing first-stage and second-stage rockets.

At the same time, Nanmen Aerospace has officially participated in the Huaxia Space Station Project and has been identified as one of the contractors of the Huaxia Space Station project.

In particular, the huge carrying capacity of the No. 5B rocket has made it the only carrier rocket for large-tonnage experimental space stations.

In other words, this new large-tonnage experimental space station is designed specifically for the Type 5B rocket. Just looking at its mass, you can tell that it weighs a full twenty-one tons.

This is specifically designed to achieve the maximum carrying capacity of the No. 5B rocket for a single launch. Apart from the No. 5B rocket, no other rocket in the country has this launch capability.

In addition, Nanmen Aerospace has also developed its own cargo spacecraft, the 'Qinglong Spacecraft', which has a designed take-off mass of twelve tons. This cargo spacecraft is expected to provide supplies for the experimental space station and is also specially designed to cope with the carrying capacity of the land recovery mode of the Type 5B rocket.

In this experimental space station project, Nanmen Aerospace is the most core participating enterprise. Among the three designed launch missions, Nanmen Aerospace accounts for two.

The success of Nanmen Aerospace's Rocket No. 5 can be said to have greatly promoted the space station plan, allowing China to have a low-Earth orbit launch capability of more than 20 tons (one-time use and non-recoverable), as well as a cheap 12-ton low-Earth orbit launch capability (recovery on land).

The success of Nanmen Aerospace's No. 5 rocket has not only promoted the rapid development of domestic aerospace, but also promoted the development of aerospace on a global scale.

Many small and medium-sized countries and even some companies, after seeing the low launch fees quoted by Nanmen Aerospace, are now considering launching a satellite into the sky even though they originally had no satellite plans.

Nanmen Aerospace offers a low-cost rocket launch fee. I always feel like I’m losing money if I don’t use it once…

Others quoted $100 million, while Nanmen Aerospace quoted 60 million. If they don't ask Nanmen Aerospace to launch a satellite, then they will lose 40 million... Although this is a joke, it also shows how serious the impact of the low-cost launch costs brought by Nanmen Aerospace's reusable rockets is on the current aerospace landscape.

All of the above have led to Nanmen Aerospace's launch missions being very frequent, with several launches a month. Frequent launches are also the main reason to attract people to watch.

Of course the more important thing is that Nanmen Aerospace causes explosions from time to time!
Not to mention some test launches, the probability of explosion is very high. Even commercial launches may occasionally fail to recover... The first batch of five Type 5A rockets produced have all exploded.

The big fireworks are still very attractive, which leads many people to come and watch the rocket launch, all of them are here to see the rocket explode.

As a result, when Nanmen Aerospace conducts regular commercial launches, only tens of thousands of people come to watch at most, with thirty to fifty thousand being the norm.

However, if some important experimental launches are announced in advance and some publicity is carried out, it is possible to attract more than 100,000 or even 200,000 people to watch.

Just like today, more than 200,000 people came to watch the second sea recovery test of the No. 5B rocket. God knows how many people were waiting to see the rocket explode if the recovery failed.

Such a large number of tourists has turned the rocket launch of Nanmen Aerospace into a very special tourist project in the local area.

On every rocket launch day, a large number of tourists flock to hotels in the surrounding areas, and then wait to watch at some nearby venues suitable for watching the launch when the launch time approaches.

Many people are still very interested in this, even if it's just for fun.

It is quite shocking to see a rocket weighing hundreds of tons rising into the sky.

The recovery process after launch is even more spectacular. The first-stage rocket, which is dozens of meters long and several meters in diameter, returns all the way from outer space. When it is close to the ground, the rocket engine ignites to slow down, and then it lands accurately at the recovery site. The whole scene is extremely shocking.

Many people came from other places just to witness this scene with their own eyes.

Because every time a large number of people come from other places to watch the rocket launch, the local area has seized this opportunity and vigorously developed rocket-related tourism projects, planning a number of suitable and safe viewing areas, from the beach to the nearby mountain top and so on.

Then, some rocket-themed parks and amusement parks were built. Even Nanmen Aerospace itself set up an aerospace exhibition hall, charging admission fees, holding performances, and selling souvenirs... It's no wonder that this exhibition hall is quite profitable. There are many tourists every day, and the income from souvenirs alone is considerable... After all, high-precision rocket models are quite expensive, ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan, and there are many people who like these things.

Nanmen Aerospace also sells various souvenirs and models on its official website, and the sales are quite good.

After Nanmen Aerospace settled in the local area, not counting the taxes and jobs brought by Nanmen Aerospace's own business and production activities, the tourism economy alone has brought great benefits to the local area.

Such a large number of tourists will drive consumption in many aspects such as hotels, homestays, restaurants, souvenirs, amusement parks, shopping malls, etc., which will have a significant effect on boosting the economy.

Just like today, the rooms in the slightly better hotels and B&Bs in the area were booked early, so that many tourists were unable to stay locally and could only stay in surrounding areas and then travel back and forth.

With only a few hours left before the launch, various reports began to appear frequently on the Internet, and some impatient media outlets even started live broadcasts.

There were large crowds of people around the launch site, especially on some beaches and highlands with good views. The media and some enthusiasts were armed with cameras and had set up various photographic equipment early on.

Even ordinary people would take out their mobile phones to take pictures of the rockets on the distant rocket launch tower.

This rocket launch has attracted everyone’s attention!
Not only were there a lot of people paying attention at the launch site, there were also many people paying attention at home and abroad, especially a group of people at Space Exploration Company, which is destined to be a natural competitor in the commercial aerospace field, who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast on the Internet.

Among them is Musk, who is hailed by some Americans as the only man who can compete with Xu Shenxue in the field of high technology.

Well, I'm only talking about some areas, such as electric vehicles and aerospace.

As for other fields, there are other men who can compete with Xu Shenxue, such as Steve Jobs, who is generally recognized as the only one who can compete with Xu Shenxue in the field of smart terminals.

Unfortunately, Jobs has passed away, and Cook, who has now taken over Apple, has received mixed reviews from the outside world.

Most of those who think he has done a good job say that he has a good control over the supply chain. Under his management, the profitability of fruit has been rising steadily, the market value has also continued to rise, and the shareholders are very happy.

But some people think that he is not good enough, saying that he is just a plagiarist following behind Xu Shenxue. In the field of smart terminals, he does whatever Xu Shenxue does and copies everything.

Even the appearance of the phone, the screen size, the aspect ratio and other things were copied where possible, and copied where not possible.

So in terms of reputation, Cook is not as good as Musk at the moment!

Today, Musk, who carries the space hopes of many Americans, sat in the conference room with his team, watching the live broadcast on the big screen.

There are less than five minutes left until launch!
Looking at the huge Type 5B rocket on the screen, Musk felt very complicated. On the one hand, he hoped that the sea recovery of Type 5B rocket would be successful, thus proving the correctness of this technical route.

But on the other hand, as a competitor, he didn't want to see Nanmen Aerospace progress too quickly.

Today, space exploration companies are working very hard to catch up in the field of rocket recovery. Ever since South Gate Aerospace demonstrated a successful commercial rocket recovery two years ago, it has seriously stimulated space exploration companies.

At Musk's urging, SpaceX's technical team quickly launched corresponding technical research and started various experimental tests.

Last year, their company conducted several recovery tests using small test rockets, starting with a 100-meter bounce launch and recovery, then to 300 meters, 1,000 meters, then to several thousand meters, and now to the 100,000-meter level.

There were successes and failures during the period, especially after the test at the 100,000-meter level, which involved a series of complex and difficult problems such as engine shutdown and restart, attitude control during high-speed descent, etc., which caused them considerable trouble.

Of course, overall technological progress is quite good, at least in terms of test rockets.

However, the above are just test rockets, and it is still a long way from their commercial application.

The technical difficulty of recovering the first-stage rocket of a small test rocket and a large one like the Falcon 9 weighing more than 500 tons are not on the same level.

SpaceX still has some way to go if it wants to successfully recover its Falcon 9 rocket.

Today's space exploration companies have actually encountered a series of problems that Nanmen Aerospace had before, that is, there are many problems, and some problems are exposed every few days. In order to catch up with the progress, test launches are also carried out frequently.

This brings up a problem, which is that the cost is extremely high, especially if the test fails and the rocket explodes, the losses will be huge.

Although Musk is a rich man, it is impossible for him to be like Xu Shenxue who can do whatever he wants and not take the explosion of a rocket seriously.

If a test rocket from the Space Exploration Company explodes, Musk will be heartbroken for a long time... Of course, no matter how heartbroken he is, he will still grit his teeth and continue with the experiment without even delaying the progress.

In the field of rocket recovery, he is the only one who can barely catch up with Xu Shenxue's pace. Traditional aerospace agencies in other countries and some newly established commercial aerospace companies that followed suit in the past two years cannot even see the taillights of Xu Shenxue.

In the control room of the command center at the Nanmen Launch Site, Deng Feiyue walked up to Xu Shenxue and said, "We have passed the final technical inspection and meet the launch conditions. We will enter the five-minute countdown."

Xu Shenxue said: "Okay, you guys work hard, I'll go to the platform outside and watch!"

As he spoke, Xu Shenxue brought Lin Yaxian and the child to the platform, and then looked at the launch site in the distance.

To ensure safety, the launch command center is actually quite far away from the launch site, but the terrain is relatively high, so the situation at the launch site can be seen directly from a distance.

Because Xu Shenxue liked to watch the launch on this small platform every day, in order to allow Xu Shenxue to see the entire process of the rocket launch on the balcony outside, the staff also installed a large display screen on this small platform and connected it to the surveillance camera screen.

----

At this time, the host and invited commentators were also discussing on the live broadcast platform on the Internet.

The beautiful female host said, "There are only five minutes left before the launch. I believe many netizens are as nervous as I am. Professor Wang, do you think the sea recovery will be successful this time?"

Professor Wang, who looked like a scientific research elite, said in front of the camera: "It is well known that offshore recovery is very difficult. Last year, Nanmen Aerospace tried it once, but failed. It is said that the loss reached several hundred million yuan, which is a heavy loss."

"If this happened in a space agency like NASA, many people would be held responsible and forced to resign!"

"But Nanmen Aerospace is different. They are a commercial aerospace company. Their rocket launches and various tests are all commercial activities. According to the information I received, no one was held responsible for the failure last year. Speaking of which, I think this is somewhat problematic."

"After all, aerospace is a very technical and special industry and cannot be treated as a regular business activity."

"If there is no responsibility for the failure, then the sense of responsibility will naturally be low, and the technicians will not have too many concerns, so I think the risk this time is still very high!"

If Xu Shenxue heard this, he would probably not bother to care about it. This little loss is nothing... A large number of projects in Zhiyun Group have failed in various ways. For example, the latest W700 series chips under Zhiyun Semiconductor use the group's new 28NLP process. The cost of tape-out is million US dollars. It took three tape-outs before it was successful. The tape-out costs alone added up to more than million US dollars.

The latest S500 series chips have a single tape-out cost of tens of millions of dollars, which is quite exaggerated.

The tape-out is just to test whether the chip design can be used and whether it meets the technical indicators. Very few chips can be successfully taped out in one go.

To be honest, the loss caused by the explosion of the space rocket is nothing in Xu Shenxue's opinion: a small matter!
After all, the really expensive No. 5 rocket also exploded every day. After dozens of launches, only five first-stage rockets exploded in total.

In other words, these five first-stage rockets have already paid for themselves, so there is no question of any losses.

At this time, the female host said, "But Nanmen Aerospace has already achieved success in three sea recovery tests. Is there anything different this time?"

Professor Wang said: "Of course it is different. The previous successful ones were all the No. 4 test rockets, and the No. 4 test rocket is a typical single-shot small rocket. It is specially used for various tests in Nanmen Aerospace."

"How big is Rocket No. 5? Its takeoff weight is 560 tons. It has a very unique mode of multiple engines connected in parallel, with a total of seven engines. The overall structure is very different from Rocket No. 4. Therefore, the success of Rocket No. 4 does not mean that it can be directly copied to Rocket No. 5. There are a lot of technical difficulties and uncertainties here!"

"Therefore, we still need to look at this matter rationally and not be blindly confident!"

As a result, a group of netizens commented in the live broadcast room: Haha, rational customers!

"He also said this before about the land recovery of Rocket No. 5. He said it would be impossible to succeed!"

"Professor Wang said that Nanmen Aerospace is just a makeshift team and that engaging in aerospace is a joke!"

The female host glanced at the discussion that was suddenly becoming more heated, and couldn't help but smile... That was why they invited Professor Wang to be the guest commentator.

There are more negative comments, which can easily lead to heated discussions.

As for being scolded by netizens, they were actually scolding Professor Wang, and it had nothing to do with their live streaming platform.

As a large number of netizens on the live broadcast platform were discussing enthusiastically, they soon heard the female host say, "Okay, news from the scene, now it has entered the last minute of the countdown. Let's switch the screen to the launch site and count down together!"

On the command center platform outside the launch site, Xu Shenxue saw a one-minute countdown on the large screen in front of him.

This countdown signal was also transmitted to some surrounding viewing areas, letting tourists know that the rocket launch was about to begin.

As the countdown gradually ends, 3, 2, 1... ignition.

Flames began to appear at the bottom of the Nantianmen No. 5B rocket, numbered N7B, at a distant launch site. The high-temperature rocket jet tail flow directly heated a large amount of water used for cooling, evaporating it into a cloud of water mist.

Amid the mist and fire, the huge 560-ton rocket began to slowly rise into the air.

For a moment, a large number of cameras in the surrounding area recorded the moment of takeoff, but the rocket did not stop. Instead, it continued to rise after passing the height of the launch tower, getting higher and higher, and faster and faster.

The rocket left a trail in the blue sky, passed through the clouds in the sky, and then continued to accelerate and rush towards space.

The huge rumbling sound spread all around, stimulating people's senses.

At this time, people on the ground could no longer see the rocket clearly with their naked eyes, and could only vaguely see a glowing point.

And at high altitudes where people could not see clearly, the Type 5B rocket continued to climb, 10,000 meters, 100,000 meters, 200,000 meters.

The higher the rocket goes, the lighter it becomes due to the large amount of fuel consumed. At the same time, as the air becomes thinner, the air resistance decreases, and the speed of the rocket becomes faster.

In just over a minute, its speed increased to an ultra-high speed of one or two thousand meters per second, and the speed is still rising.

At this time, people on the ground could no longer observe the rocket No. 5 with their naked eyes, and could only observe the rocket's situation through advanced observation instruments on the ground. However, the ground control room could still see the rocket's situation, which was the real-time image transmitted back by the camera carried by the rocket itself.

Xu Shenxue was watching the surveillance footage on the screen. The rocket's engine was still working, pushing the rocket to rise in altitude and increase in speed. At the same time, a macro picture of the earth appeared on the screen.

The rocket continued to climb for dozens of seconds, and then the first-stage rocket engine was shut down, and then the first and second stages of the rocket separated.

The vacuum plate Suzaku engine on the second-stage rocket ignites, continuing to push the second-stage rocket to a higher altitude. After reaching a higher altitude and the air density further decreases, it will discard the fairing, and then continue to accelerate towards space with light equipment.

It will accelerate the speed of the two communication satellites on board to more than 10,000 meters per second in order to maintain an orbital altitude of hundreds of kilometers. After reaching the predetermined altitude, it will release the satellites, and then use the last bit of remaining fuel to adjust its attitude and position to re-enter the atmosphere for combustion, and ensure that the final wreckage will fall into the empty Pacific Ocean without causing any additional damage.

When the second-stage rocket continued its space journey, the separated first-stage rocket first showed a state of free flight, but soon the flight control system of the first-stage rocket controlled the rocket to adjust its attitude.

To put it simply, just change the direction of the head and tail!
Immediately afterwards... the engine ignited again, and the huge thrust generated by the engine pushed the rocket to fall rapidly towards the ground, and its speed was quite exaggerated.

After the rocket's engine worked for a short while, it was shut down again, and the rocket roared towards the ground under inertia and gravity!

The rocket rapidly lowered its altitude, soon entering a high altitude with relatively high air density from an extremely thin air altitude, and then descended to 10,000 meters.

At this time, people with good eyesight can already see such a small black dot against the clear blue sky.

This small black dot did not have any fire, it just kept falling straight down from a height of ten thousand meters, and at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't long before the rocket had descended enough for people to see it clearly.

At this time, the attitude of the rocket was adjusted again. The grid rudder on the rocket hull and the jet nozzle for attitude adjustment quickly adjusted the attitude of the rocket to a straight descent state with the rocket engine facing downward.

At this time, it was already quite close to the ground, and many people couldn't help but worry whether the rocket would plunge into the sea.

But at this moment, the rocket's engine ignited again, spewing out a huge flame!
The high-temperature, high-speed exhaust gas gave the rocket enormous power, quickly slowing it down. The rocket then continued to slow down and adjusted its direction along the way, finally arriving at an altitude of two to three hundred meters above the offshore recovery platform ship.

Although this scene has appeared more than thirty times in this launch site, people are still shocked every time they see it.

Even though the rocket had not yet completed its recovery at this time, just this series of attitude adjustments and the engine igniting again to slow down the rapidly descending rocket to this extent was enough to shock many people.

And it’s not ordinary people who are shocked, but people in the industry…

Not to mention other aerospace agencies, just talk about SpaceX. Musk was extremely envious when watching the live broadcast on the Internet.

There are many difficulties in rocket recovery technology, but the multiple engine shutdowns, ignitions and rocket attitude adjustments are definitely the most core technologies.

In the traditional technology route, the rocket engine used on the first-stage rocket is a one-time thing, and there is no consideration of repeated ignition, let alone ignition several times in succession.

However, the first-stage rocket of Nanmen Aerospace will undergo three ignitions during the entire launch process...

Ignite once for launch; ignite once after the first and second stages separate to allow the rocket to return to Earth; ignite before landing to allow the rocket to slow down and land smoothly.

As for attitude adjustment, in addition to flight control and rudder, there is a more critical technology, that is, the nozzle of the main stack engine is dynamic and can continuously adjust the direction. In addition, in the final step of recovery, in order to control the rocket's attitude to be stable, the amplitude of its change is very fast.

All these factors make the recovery technology of the first-stage rocket an extremely difficult one. Although the Space Exploration Company has conducted many vertical take-off and landing tests, all of them have been successful.

But it is worth noting that they have never conducted a real recovery test, that is, shutting down the engine, then starting it again, and letting the engine variables adjust the rocket's attitude.

This is a huge technical challenge and they are still working on it.

However, Nanmen Aerospace's recovery technology is already very mature, from the separation of the first and second stage rockets, returning to Earth, to the current engine ignition, deceleration, and alignment with the recovery platform.

The whole process went incredibly smoothly.

And it looks pleasing to the eye...mainly because its descent speed is too fast. The engine is simply ignited for a few seconds, and with a slight adjustment of its posture, it directly reaches a height of two to three hundred meters above the offshore recovery platform.

This means that there is almost no room for a second adjustment... Of course, this is an outsider's opinion. In fact, the entire recovery process of the No. 5B rocket is accurately calculated by the flight control system, and the whole process is dynamic. The flight control system will adjust the plan according to the continuous changes in the situation.

So if you observe carefully, you will find that the engine wake of the N5B7 first-stage rocket is actually constantly changing.

After the rocket was aimed at the recovery ship below, it continued to descend in altitude, and the landing support frame had already been opened.

At the same time, the flight control system on the rocket and the system on the recovery platform have been linked. The system on the offshore recovery platform is controlling multiple propellers on all sides of the ship to ensure that the ship does not shift or shake on the sea.

This technology is also quite difficult. It is not easy to maintain the stability of such a huge offshore recovery platform and allow a rocket that would fall over at the slightest touch to land safely.

But in this field, Nanmen Aerospace's technology is definitely the most advanced at the moment, and it can even be said that there is no competitor.

Under the control of the recovery control system, the rocket landed smoothly under the offshore recovery platform, and its support frame held the rocket firmly.

Almost as soon as the rocket landed, the system on the recovery platform controlled the robotic arm to extend and reinforce the rocket.

There will be many recovery procedures in the future to reinforce, recover and transport the rocket, and all of this is automatically controlled by the system and 100% unmanned operation... There is not even anyone on the offshore recovery platform!

The moment when the N5B7 first-stage rocket successfully landed on the offshore recovery platform was captured by countless photographic equipment, especially the high-definition cameras carried by some professional media reporters, which captured almost every detail.

When the rocket landed successfully, cheers instantly broke out from places where a large number of tourists gathered, such as on the beach and on the highland viewing platform.

The cheers were like waves, constantly hitting the sky.

At the command center, Xu Shenxue couldn't help but jump up after watching the rocket successfully land on the offshore recovery platform. He then said to Lin Yaxian, "Did you see it? Did you see it? It's a success!"

Deep down, Lin Yaxian was not as excited as Xu Shenxue. She understood why Xu Shenxue liked these things, but that didn't mean she liked them too.

She just looked at Xu Shenxue with a smile, opened her arms slightly, and waited for him to hold her in his arms!
Then she whispered in his ear: "I saw it. Congratulations. You are one step closer to your dream!"

It didn't take long for the news that Nanmen Aerospace's Type 5B rocket had successfully been recovered at sea to spread across the Internet.

Not only domestic, but also foreign.

A large number of technology websites and even some comprehensive websites have reported this news.

When ordinary people see this news, they just watch for fun, but some technology enthusiasts are extremely excited after seeing it.

The offshore recovery technology represents another major technological breakthrough in the commercial rocket field, and it can once again significantly reduce the launch cost per kilogram of payload.

Commercial space travel is getting closer to ordinary people.

That evening, the news was reported on the 7:30 p.m. news, calling it a major technological breakthrough in my country's space industry.

As time passed, daytime came in Europe and the United States, and many foreigners heard the news one after another, and then many of them were puzzled.

How come these Chinese people have made such rapid progress in aerospace?

This is unreasonable.

Due to the popularity of the topic, related videos and discussions on the topic soon appeared on major overseas media platforms.

On a certain video website, a high-definition video recording the launch and recovery process of Nanmen Aerospace's Type 5B rocket was directly posted on the homepage, and the number of views instantly reached one million.

People from all over the world are actively discussing this video.

Netizen from Germany: Congratulations to Mr. Xu, this is an amazing achievement. Humanity is getting closer and closer to the interstellar space.

Netizen from the United States: Musk, don’t sleep anymore, it’s time to get up and launch the rocket.

Netizen from India: The Chinese space program is indeed good, but a little worse than ours. Our space program is developing very rapidly, and we plan to land on Mars within five years.

Netizen from Vietnam: My Indian friend, have you eaten too much excrement-smelling curry?

Netizen from India: You Vietnamese monkey, how dare you slander our great Indian culture.

Netizen from Japan: The curry that Indians eat does look a bit like excrement.

Netizen from South Korea: "Indians, get out of the way. The future competition in the aerospace industry is between us and China. You Indians have nothing to do with it!

Netizen from Japan: South Korea's space program? Haha!
Netizens from South Korea: Oh my god, Japanese dogs, kneel down to the Taegeukgi!

Netizen from the UK: Isn't South Korea a province of China? Why do you still say you want to compete with China?
Netizen from South Korea: &*%￥%￥￥@# (this comment has been blocked)

Compared with the debates and disagreements among some ordinary netizens, aerospace professionals and institutions in the industry have all expressed friendly views.

Musk said on Twitter: Congratulations to Xu Shenxue and congratulations to Nanmen Aerospace for their great progress. We look forward to the continued rapid development of human spaceflight and to reaching the starry sky at an early date.

Then he sent another tweet: SpaceX is about to conduct the next round of rocket recovery tests. This time we will challenge the recovery test at an altitude of 100,000 meters. Stay tuned.

NASA forwarded the relevant news and expressed congratulations.

Space agencies in other countries and aerospace professionals in the industry also expressed similar sentiments, all with congratulations.

However, some people questioned NASA, saying that we are restricted by the Wolf Amendment and cannot reach any cooperation with South Gate Aerospace, which means that we cannot use cheap reusable rockets for launch. In future space launches, we will bear launch costs that are twice or even three times higher than other countries. How can we solve this problem? Are we Americans going to be the scapegoats and use extremely expensive rockets?
NASA was very single and tagged Musk and said: You should ask him this question!
Musk replied: “By the middle of next year, our rocket recovery technology will be mature and put into use!

----

The successful recovery of Nanmen Aerospace's Type 5B rocket at sea has sparked a worldwide discussion with various opinions.

However, this did not affect the joy of Xu Shenxue and everyone at Nanmen Aerospace.

After the successful recovery at sea that day, Xu Shenxue also gave rare brief interviews to several major media outlets... In the past two years, Xu Shenxue has become increasingly low-key and has hardly accepted any interviews.

He seldom even attends public events.

Basically, when Xu Shenxue attends public occasions now, they are usually his own company's new product launches. Apart from this, Xu Shenxue rarely appears in public.

As for interviews, they are even more difficult.

He seldom accepts private interviews. At most, he occasionally answers reporters' questions in public and simply answers one or two questions.

Just like now!

This is a super rich man and technology tycoon who is very low-key in the eyes of outsiders!

But it is worth noting that although Xu Shenxue is very low-key and only accepts a few interviews throughout the year, the Internet is still full of various news about him.

There is no way, the name is too big, and at the same time, Xu Shenxue's personal image is actually highly tied to He Zhiyun.

Every launch conference of Zhiyun flagship phone was hosted by Xu Shenxue himself. In addition, every time Xu Shenxue appeared in public, he was dressed in casual black trousers, a white long-sleeved shirt, and the same watch with a black leather strap that never changed.

This public image is known to hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Such a Xu Shenxue is actually very famous.

However, when the extremely famous Xu Shenxue was interviewed this time, reporters discovered that Xu Shenxue was holding a child and there was a woman standing next to him.

Anyone with a sharp eye can tell at a glance that this woman is Xu Shenxue's wife. It is said that she is also the daughter of a wealthy family. Her marriage to Xu Shenxue is a typical marriage between the wealthy classes.

Even those who are not familiar with Lin Yaxian can basically guess it.

Xu Shenxue brought Lin Yaxian with him to several previous Zhiyun press conferences. If one is interested, one can actually find Lin Yaxian sitting on one side of the front row from the photos or videos of the press conference.

However, although Xu Shenxue has been married for a long time, not much personal privacy information of Lin Yaxian has been circulated to the outside world, and the overall information protection is still relatively good.

Lin Yaxian is no secret, but this child...is appearing in public for the first time.

Seeing Xu Shenxue coming over with the child, the reporter who was approved to interview him was shocked, but still asked nervously: "Boss Xu, is this your son? Can we take a picture of him for related reports?"

Xu Shenxue said: "Don't take a picture of the face, just take a simple picture of the back!"

Xu Shenxue is very clear that he is different from ordinary entrepreneurs. Ordinary entrepreneurs do not receive the same level of attention as him, or in other words, people do not care about the life and death of these ordinary entrepreneurs, or the information of their families.

I know you have money, but it’s none of my business!
But Xu Shenxue is different. He has surpassed the scope of ordinary entrepreneurs and super-rich people. In recent years, he has become a relatively special high-tech tycoon, and a very well-known and highly-watched technology tycoon worldwide!

Xu Shenxue has many titles such as imperial examination master, world's richest man, etc., which makes him the focus of media attention.

Because many ordinary people are interested in the news about Xu Shenxue.

When it comes to personal brand, Xu Shenxue's personal brand is probably better than any other star in the world, including the crucial personal brand monetization ability.

When it comes to endorsements and selling products, Xu Shenxue is the best one on the planet today. Any other celebrity is weak compared to him!

Given his status and exposure, it is an exaggeration to say that at least one billion people around the world are following him.

Therefore, it is difficult to keep some personal information, and it cannot be concealed.

Even if the relevant news is blocked in the country, it cannot be blocked abroad.

So it is better to be open and disclose some information appropriately.

Of course, the specific information that should be protected should still be protected. Just let the people know that he has a son, and don't publicize anything else.

Then after the relevant news was reported, there was only a photo of her back being held in Xu Shenxue's arms, without even a side profile.

Xu Shenxue, this son who is still breastfeeding, has quickly become the national husband in the eyes of countless girls... After all, he should be the richest second-generation rich on the earth.

At least that's the surface!
