Chapter 1123 (1/2)
At noon the next day, Jiang Chen met Elon Musk from the western hemisphere in the conference room of futureman building. The legend of Silicon Valley, who is nearly 50 years old, still looks energetic at a glance, and can't find what he should look like when he is half fifty.
”Sit down.” Looking at Elon Musk entering the conference room, Jiang Chen pointed to the chair beside the conference table and said with a smile.
”Thank you.” Elon nodded politely, sat down on his seat and looked at Jiang Chen.
Just when Jiang Chen is looking at him, he is also looking at Jiang Chen.
It has been said that this self-made young man in his twenties has built such a global technology empire in less than five years. Today, he is really outstanding.
From the Internet to new energy, and then from new materials to aerospace, the tentacles cover almost all aspects of human production and life. However, the future people group has turned the future that people can imagine into reality.
Elon Musk can't think of a question. How does Jiang Chen's head grow. It is unbelievable that such a monster was born in the most unlikely country to have a great man.
”Mr. musk did not come all the way here to talk to me over tea.” Jiang Chen chuckled and leaned back on the chair. His fingers crossed in front of his knees. ”You and I are busy people who are hundreds of thousands of people a minute. We might as well get to the point.”
Elon Musk looked at Jiang Chen for half a minute and finally sighed.
”Before I came in, I was thinking about how to persuade you.”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
”Oh? Not now? ”
Elon Musk shook his head and said, ”I want to return, but when I saw you, I knew that there was basically no way to persuade you.”
”May I hear the reason?” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
”Because we are one kind of people,” Elon Musk said earnestly, looking at Jiang Chen. ”Once we have identified something, it will never change easily.”
Elon Musk's words made Jiang Chen lost in thought.
However, this meditation only lasted less than 10 seconds. Jiang Chen opened his hand and said with ease, ”you are right. If you are here for the earth fleet project today, I can tell you clearly that you can go back.”
Hearing Jiang Chen almost sentenced SpaceX's future death sentence, Elon Musk's expression could not help but take some bitterness.
”Can't Silicon Valley companies be given a fair chance to compete? In terms of space technology, we have technological advantages far superior to those of other countries. In terms of cost and quality, we will never lose to the aerospace enterprises of Russia and China. The earth fleet is related to the future of mankind. Is it just because of a little bit of diplomatic frictions that we are wasting our time on the future of the earth -- ”
” just because? ” Jiang Chen interrupted Elon Musk's words with a smile, ”the U.S. fleet is in Guam, right at the door of the new country. Do you call this” just because ”
In the face of Elon Musk who can't speak, Jiang Chen's fingers gently touched the table and said faintly.
”In my opinion, as long as the funds are in place, there is no permanent advantage. You are able to gain today's technological advantage because of the space race in the Cold War era, which gave you a large budget from Congress. ”
”We have 50 years or even a century to prepare for this war, and in the face of such a time scale, the advantage of starting point can be ignored.”
”What's more, in my opinion, your technical advantages are nothing.”
It's nothing
Jiang Chen's understatement denied NASA's achievements in the past half a century and SpaceX's second place in the world.
Although the heart is full of reluctance, but at the moment Elon Musk looks at Jiang Chen, but he can't say a word, only a bitter smile on his face.
To blame, the space elevator was built in the Western Pacific Ocean, and the star ring trade was the throat of aerospace companies around the world. In the face of such a gap, not to mention the world's second, even if the world's second to one hundredth are all put in front of the star ring trade, I'm afraid it's nothing.
