Chapter 413 Highest Technology Award

The technology of Musk Aerospace Company is actually not very high, but its integration ability is particularly strong and it can integrate some common technologies without problems. This is the core technology he masters.

For example, their 27-engine launch vehicle ensures that it can take off normally without any major problems. This is their ability.

I think back when the president of Musk Aerospace was interviewed and looked forward to the future vision, he predicted that Musk Aerospace would dominate the solar system in 2100 or 2200.

He also said that in just a dozen years, Musk Aerospace will be able to send humans to Mars and realize CEO Musk's ambition to make human life "multi-planetary."

In their vision, Musk Aerospace will become the most popular air transportation company in the solar system, and even the most watched transportation company in the galaxy.

Of course, Americans dare to say anything. They said in the interview, "If the prediction can come true, NASA will be in a bad situation."

It is good to be ambitious, but they may not know that there is an "ancestral saying" in China, that is, "your uncle will always be your uncle."

It’s not that NASA is in trouble, it’s that they have spent their main energy on deep space exploration, and these “little things” in Earth orbit are no longer their main concern.

As the world's largest space agency, how can it not have lofty ideals?

Dong Chen also mentioned this when chatting with Xiang Wu, but these can only be their wishes. After all, the "uncle" has not completely surpassed him yet, and another "immortal" has airborne.

Dong Chen and Xiang Wu could only mourn in silence for what happened to Max Aerospace Company. Who let this "god" be themselves and others?

Well, let's observe three seconds of silence, and then check the space program that continues Musk's space, so as to see where we can make breakthroughs and grab some first places.

Dong Chen didn't care about this, but Xiang Wu and the people in the company were very concerned about it.

Musk, the founder of Musk Aerospace, once proposed an ambitious plan to colonize Mars.

As the first step in the Mars exploration plan, Musk Aerospace originally planned to launch an unmanned cargo spacecraft to Mars for landing testing in 2018, but this step has not been done yet. Well, again, the plan is to be Rubbed on the ground.

It changes all the time.

Dong Chen and the others did know that Musk Aerospace launched a Tesla Roadster a year ago and headed directly for Mars, but now it has gone astray, and is getting further and further away, almost reaching the asteroid belt.

They have changed their plans some time ago, and the unmanned test spacecraft flying to Mars has announced that it will be postponed, saying that it will be launched again this year.

The previous plan for a formal manned landing on Mars has also been postponed.

On the contrary, their plan to launch thousands of satellites to provide high-speed Internet services around the world has already begun, but it is also full of difficulties, and only a few dozen have been launched so far.

The launch resistance is far greater than they imagined. Those competitors will not let go of Musk Aerospace easily. The profits here are huge. There are many people staring at this area, and the competition abroad is fiercer than at home. too much.

There are only a few thousand satellites in the sky now, but only one-third are still in operation. The satellite orbits are already very crowded. If we add thousands more, it will be even worse. No one else will be able to launch satellites. .

However, looking at these plans, Xiang Wu felt that Arclight Aerospace would have no problem getting the first place from now on.

"That's it? It'll be fine if you adjust the time to adjust some plans," Xiang Wu nodded with satisfaction after reading.

"Okay, as long as you're happy," Dong Chen shook his head indifferently. "Just discuss it with Manager Liu and proceed."

"Okay," Xiang Wu pursed his lips and felt a little excited, "I'll go right away."

"You are too excited. As for..." Dong Chen originally saw Xiang Wu being too excited and wanted to tease him, but before he could finish speaking, No. 1 reminded him, "Sir, you made the reservation The time has come and it’s time to go.”

"When I made the reservation..." Dong Chen was stunned by such a sudden reminder, but he immediately thought of it, "Oh, it's about the highest technology award, right?"

"Yes, sir, for the award ceremony on January 8th, you are scheduled to go to the capital on January 5th. Before receiving the award, you have to visit Mr. Zhang and attend the science and technology symposium held by Director No. 3." No. 1 replied.

Xiang Wu was also watching from the side as Dong Chen stopped mid-sentence, and became curious and quieted down. He remembered it when he heard Dong Chen say "the highest technology award".

There was a lot of commotion when Dong Chen was nominated, because the age gap between him and previous award winners was too big, he was too young, and even a little too young.

Even those nominated in 2018 are quite old, and the ones closest to Dong Chen are all in their sixties.

But Dong Chen is really cool. The several scientific and technological achievements to his name are real and there are quite a lot of them.

Some people have raised doubts, which is allowed, so there is a strict review system.

Especially after the reform in 2017, the selection procedures and requirements have become more stringent.

Dong Chen's nomination came naturally from the beginning. It was the Shanghai Municipal Government who recommended Dong Chen.

In fact, this is easy to understand. It is a political achievement to have a winner of the highest technology award in the jurisdiction.

Then more than 20 academicians and experts consulted Dong Chen on technical aspects, gave him a high score, and voted to allow Dong Chen to enter the third step of the review of the highest technology award.

At this point, Arclight Group has become busy, because their chairman has to be reviewed by the highest technology award review committee.

In the evaluation form of the Supreme Science and Technology Award, four major items, scientific ideological and moral character, important scientific and technological contributions, prestige in the social science and technology community and expert coefficient, and 8 evaluation indicators are designed to evaluate the candidates for the Supreme Science and Technology Award.

Many of these things need to be supported by the data here at Arc Light Group, especially scientific and technological contributions and prestige in the social science and technology community. These two things, Arc Light Group's data, shocked the jury.

Most of the grand prize winners in previous years rarely appear in the news. Ordinary people in society may not know much about them, and only people in some professional fields will know about them.

They did not expect that such a public figure would participate in the selection this year.

Dong Chen's influence and contribution are indeed considerable, especially his social popularity, which radiates so widely that it exceeded the jury's expectations.

When Dong Chen introduced his personal situation, major achievements and technical evaluation face to face to the review committee, Dong Chen also met many people he knew among the review committee. They were all old academicians whom Dong Chen had met when he was doing the task. Later, I met more technology tycoons through them.

But neither Dong Chen nor any of them said anything else at the scene. Well, pay attention to the impact and the seriousness of the review.

Dong Chen responded fluently to their questions. Dong Chen felt that if it weren't for the assessment, he might have been surrounded.

When Dong Chen later told Xiang Wu and others, they almost laughed to death. It was interesting to think about the scene where Dong Chen was surrounded by a group of elderly bosses who looked like grandparents, and the bosses looked interested in him. Dong Chen Chen is like a trembling little newbie.

"Brother Dong, the time has indeed arrived," Xiang Wu came over and said, "It must be the time reminder given to you by No. 1."

"Well," Dong Chen nodded, then rubbed his face and said, "I'm afraid I'll forget it if I don't tell you. The astronaut-level body enhancers I've been using during this period almost knocked me out."

Xiang Wu had a dark look on his face when he heard this, "You are the only one who would forget such an important thing. Others may not be able to forget even if they want to."
