Ugly country, Vandenberg AFB. 丑国,范登堡空军基地。 Musker sits in oneself independent conference room, the complexion gloomy to almost can squeeze out the water. 马斯克坐在自己的独立会议室中,脸色阴沉到几乎可以挤出水来。 He has received falcon 9 th to launch successfully, enters the net successful news, but, he also receives the news that the entire star chain system lost control. 他已经收到了猎鹰九号发射成功、入网成功的消息,但同时,他也收到了整个星链系统失控的消息。 When Colonel Louise gives him the telephone message, he hardly can believe oneself ear. 当路易斯上校给他电话通知的时候,他几乎不能相信自己的耳朵。 How possibly? 怎么可能？ Over a thousand star chain satellites, what use is most complex A and elliptic curve parallel cryptographic system, unexpectedly didn't have the indication to be invaded very much? 上千颗星链卫星,使用的是最复杂的A和椭圆曲线并行加密系统,居然就很毫无征兆地被入侵了？ Not only invades, the opposite party even also gained the system control power to a certain extent, although because of control system's complexity limit, the opposite party cannot really completely realize to the operation of entire satellite network, but disrupts the operational order of one's own side even if merely, is an extremely dreadful matter. 不仅仅是入侵,对方甚至还在某种程度上获取到了系统控制权,虽然因为操控系统本身的复杂性限制,对方并不能真的完全实现对整个卫星网络的操纵,但哪怕仅仅是扰乱己方的操作指令,也已经是一件极为可怕的事情了。 Knew this time, he understands initially Louise said „retaliation” was what meaning. 知道这时候,他才明白当初路易斯所说的“报复”是什么意思。 Oneself think, the so-called retaliation are most is the coordinated competition, for example the opponent also launches big pile of similar satellites to seize the low earth orbit space and so on, regarding this so-called retaliation, he did not fear actually. 自己本来以为,所谓的报复最多就是对等竞争,比如对手也去发射一大堆同类型卫星抢占近地轨道空间之类的,对于这种所谓的报复,他其实根本就不怕。 Low-cost, is the biggest advantage. 成本低廉,就是己方最大的优势。 Contends for the domain? Snatches, my satellite small advantage, collided and damaged in any case did not love dearly, you? Can you consume with me? 抢地盘？抢呗,反正我的卫星便宜,撞坏了也不心疼,你们呢？你们跟我耗得起？ Yes, the opposite party truly cannot consume, but the issue is, they simply have not planned to consume. 是的,对方确实耗不起,但问题是,他们也根本没有打算耗下去。 Begins fundamentally directly, turns into the ornaments the satellite network of one's own side. 直接从根本上动手,把己方的卫星网络变成摆设。 He establishes to foresee, if the next time must conduct the new satellite launching, the opposite party definitely will adopt a more radical strategy, even possibly operates the satellite of one's own side to reduce the track on own initiative, until crashes completely! 他设置可以预见到,自己下一次如果还要进行新的卫星发射的话,对方必然会采取更激进的策略,甚至可能操纵己方的卫星主动降低轨道,直到全部坠毁！ If really arrived that step, what to do oneself should? 如果真的走到了那一步,自己应该怎么办？ No, cannot make such matter happen absolutely. 不,绝对不能让这样的事情发生。 The star chain plan must continue to carry out, but similarly, must achieve consistently with the opposite party, preventing them to destroy again. 星链计划要继续执行下去,但同样的,也要跟对方达成一致,防止他们再从中进行破坏。 The issue is, how can achieve this point? 问题是,要怎么做到这一点？ The ugly country official strategy is very obvious, NASA official, does not hope, because the issue of star chain has the further conflict with Huaxia, if must continue own commercial domain, can depend, only then oneself. 丑国官方的策略已经很明显了,无论是NASA还是官方,都不希望因为星链的问题跟华夏发生进一步的冲突,所以如果要把自己的商业版图继续下去,能靠的,只有自己。 Thinks of here, Musker takes up the cell phone on table, dialed him the telephone of some private relationship directly in the military. 想到这里,马斯克拿起桌上的手机,直接拨通了他在军方中某个私人关系的电话。 „Senior official, I understand your meaning. However, we reach an agreement from the beginning, the star chain plan is only a pure business dealing, not?” “长官,我明白您的意思。但是,我们一开始就说好的,星链计划只是一次纯粹的商业行为,不是吗？” „Yes, yes, I understand, I obtained earlier came from your support, I was very grateful, but I really do not have the means to terminate this plan now.” “是的,是的,我明白,我前期获得了很多来自你的支持,我很感激,但是现在我真的没办法终止这项计划。” „You know, my company by the concept that these continuously renew living- I to future hope and belief am living by the people's, if I drop the star chain plan now, collapse, not only star chain, SPACEX, Tesla!” “你知道,我的公司就是靠这些不断更新的概念活着的-我是靠人们对未来的渴望和信仰活着的,如果我现在放弃星链计划,崩溃的不只是星链,还有SPACEX,还有特斯拉！” „I know that you do not care, the benefit that but, the star chain can provide to you are also solid, not?” “我知道你不在乎,但是,星链能给你们提供的利益也是实实在在的,不是吗？” „Sorry, I do not know, but, no longer carries out the surveillance now, does not mean, does not need to monitor, we must planned for long-term and future.” “对不起,我不知道可是,现在不再执行监视,并不意味着以后不需要监视,我们要为长远和未来打算。” „I understand, I will conduct cutting with the military, yes, after this, the star chain can take the complete business program to operate.” “我明白,我会跟军方进行切割的,是的,从此之后,星链会作为完全的商业项目进行运作。” „I will handle the fund, I only need your attitude” “我会搞定资金的,我只需要你的一个态度” „I understand, I will go to negotiate with Huaxia.” “我明白,我会去跟华夏方面谈判。” The condition that „I can provide are many, I have one set of relatively mature low cost to solve side An, I can exchange with this. No, this will not affect our superiority technically, this point can feel relieved.” “我能提供的条件很多,我有一套相对成熟的低成本解决方桉,我可以用这个来交换。不,这不会影响我们在技术上的优越性,这一点可以放心。” „Good, good. I after the result comes out, immediately gives you to feed back.” “好,好。我会在结果出来之后,立刻给你反馈。” „Thanked you!” “非常感谢你！” After putting down the telephone, Musker long breathes a sigh of relief. 放下电话后,马斯克长长舒了一口气。 Telephones from this, he had a deeper understanding of the official attitude. 从这通电话里,他对官方的态度有了更深的理解。 Yes, they not really must drop the star chain plan, they are just dreading the threat from Huaxia. 是的,他们并非真的要放弃星链计划,他们只不过是在忌惮来自华夏的威胁而已。 Therefore, starting today, the official will not support the star chain project in any direct way again, will not provide the new financial support again, but, this to oneself not necessarily is not a good deed. 所以,从今天开始,官方不会再以任何直接的方式支持星链项目,也不会再提供新的资金支持,但是,这对自己未必不是一件好事。 The old shareholder leaves the stage, the new shareholder can join smoothly, but the process of this new and old change, often is to make a profit the maximum period. 旧股东退场,新股东就能顺畅地加入,而这个新老更替的过程,往往就是获利最大的时期。 Initially Tesla's landing in still sea factory, isn't such repertoire? 当初特斯拉在尚海工厂的落地,不就是这样的套路吗？ Thinks of here, on Musker's face appears to wipe the mysterious smile. 想到这里,马斯克的脸上浮现出一抹神秘的微笑。 He dialed the telephone of assistant, later says: 他重新拨通了助手的电话,随后开口说道: „Helps me make us in Huaxia the time of contact person, I must discuss matter of technical transfer with them” “帮我约好我们在华夏的联系人的时间,我要跟他们讨论技术转让的事情” After several hours, deep City SASAC received the discussion invitation from SPACEX, later, this invitation was forwarded to Chen Hao detailed, but Chen Hao through the form of video phone, held discussions with leaf boat on this invitation. 几个小时之后,深城国资委收到了来自SPACEX的会谈邀请,随后,这个邀请的明细被转给了陈昊,而陈昊又通过视频电话的形式,与叶舟就这个邀请进行了讨论。 „Therefore, this orbital transfer accident felt weak Musker probably, now what he wants to do looks for a taking over a business hero, said right?” “所以,这次变轨事故大概是把马斯克打软了,他现在想做的是找一个接盘侠,这么说没错吧？” Hears Ye Zhou's words, the Chen Hao slight nod, replied later: 听到叶舟的话,陈昊微微点头,随后回答道: „Yes. According to the raising tuart of opposite party, they will provide one set of low cost to solve side An to us, thus makes up for us now is too high in the space industry launch cost the flaw that load is insufficient.” “是的。根据对方的提桉,他们会向我们提供一整套的低成本解决方桉,从而弥补我们现在在航天领域发射成本太高、载荷不足的缺陷。” „Truly speaking, although knows obviously takes over a business, but the attraction of this condition is truly good, considered from the rational aspect, we should accept.” “说实在的,虽然明明知道是接盘,但是这个条件的吸引力确实不错,从理性方面来考虑,我们应该接受。” „Although we may be under some difficulties and threats on forward, but by the present trend, later we reduces with the gap of ugly country's unceasingly, in the overlay the dominant strength of technology, to gets angry finally does not recognize people are not the difficult matter.” “虽然在远期上我们可能会面临一些困难和威胁,但是以现在的趋势来看,之后我们与丑国的差距是不断缩小的,叠加上技术的统治力,到最后翻脸不认人也不是什么难事。” „The only issue is, so long as this side An accepted, seeks an impossibility, we not possible to put during the star chain project our controls completely, if the opposite party made some petty actions beyond our monitoring, we are very difficult to discover, prevents very much difficultly ahead of time.” “唯一的问题是,这个方桉只要接受了,就是与虎谋皮,我们不可能把星链项目完全置于我们的掌控之中,如果对方在我们的监控之外做了一些小动作,我们很难发现,也很难提前预防。” leaf boat depends to fall on the chair backward, after thinking deeply about the moment, opens the mouth to reply: 叶舟向后靠倒在椅子上,思索了片刻后,开口回答道: „I favor do not work with them.” “我个人倾向于不跟他们合作。” „In fact, the low cost launches side An the main technical problem lies in the hull multiplying and motor power promotion, but these two essential difficulties lie in the material and engine design.” “实际上,低成本发射方桉的主要技术难点在于船体复用和发动机推力提升,而这两项的关键难点在于材料和发动机设计。” „As for other aviation and data model system wait/etc, we were preponderant, so long as continues to develop patiently can make the breakthrough some time.” “至于其他的飞控、数据模型系统等等,我们本来就具有优势,只要耐心地继续发展一段时间就可以实现突破。” „They pledged that provides the low cost to solve side An to us, big probability that can solve also on the latter, former's key technologies breakthrough, must depend on the derivation achievement of Nantianmen project.” “他们承诺向我们提供低成本解决方桉,能解决的大概率也是在后者上,前者的关键技术突破,还是得靠南天门项目的衍生成果。” „Since this, why we do pursue breakthrough in a short time eager for gain? This is not the issue of life and death.” “既然这样,我们又何必急功近利地去追求短时间内的突破呢？这又不是什么生死存亡的问题。” Chen Haoen, said: 陈昊嗯了一声,开口说道: „Fact truly is this, but you also know, our space engineering are also facing the pressure of technical bottleneck, they need to introduce the new technology, new solves side Anlai to break the present deadlock, the technical exchange that Musker proposed was a very good sheatfish.” “事实确实是这样的,但是你也知道,我们的航天工程也面临着技术瓶颈的压力,他们需要引入新的技术、新的解决方桉来打破现在的僵局,马斯克提出的技术交换就是一条很好的鲶鱼。” „No matter how the total technique manages opposed, would some people favoring admits this sheatfish. The pressure that we face is also very big.” “不管总技办怎么反对,总会有人倾向于去接纳这条鲶鱼的。我们面临的压力也很大。” leaf boat shakes the head slightly, replied: 叶舟微微摇了摇头,回答道: „We are need the sheatfish is not fake, but we need is not the shark.” “我们是需要鲶鱼不假,但我们需要的不是鲨鱼。” „If even aerospace such crucial field needs to provide the impact by the overseas technology, then our later development also on and may the danger.” “如果连航天这样的关键领域都需要由国外的技术来提供冲击的话,那么我们之后的发展也就及及可危了。” „Now isn't the contradiction of core the low cost solves side An? I have side An, do you want to listen?” “现在核心的矛盾不是低成本解决方桉吗？我这有一个方桉,你要不要听一听？” „Mentioned listens.” “说来听听。” leaf boat coughed, after the hesitation moment, says: 叶舟咳嗽了一声,沉吟片刻后开口说道: „Modular satellite design.” “模块化卫星设计。” „Modulation? What do you mean?” “模块化？什么意思？” „Meaning is, we first to an airborne launching comprehensive satellite platform, making this platform realize the long-term continue voyage, then according to the follow-up functional need, increases the corresponding functional module to this satellite.” “意思就是,我们先向空中发射一个综合卫星平台,让这个平台实现长期续航,然后再根据后续的功能需要,给这个卫星添加相应的功能模块。” „As the matter stands, we can simplify the satellite structure, saves the satellite weight, thus saves the launch cost.” “这样一来,我们就能简化卫星结构,节约卫星重量,从而节省发射成本。” „What is more important, if the comprehensive satellite platform can realize to continue forever to exist, the life span of satellite greatly will also enhance, perhaps this cannot see the achievement in a short time, but long-term, to cost saves absolutely is not a small number-, definitely will at least exceed Musker so-called low to become we tuart.” “更重要的是,如果综合卫星平台能实现永续存在,卫星的寿命也会大大提高,这在短期内也许看不出成果,但长期来说,对成本的节约绝对不是一个小数字-至少,肯定会超过马斯克所谓的低成本方桉。” Hears here, Chen Hao brow wrinkled slightly. 听到这里,陈昊的眉头微微皱了起来。 „Your meaning is, makes the form of baby space station the satellite? But words like this, were very high the follow-up fuel makeup regarding the request of bit maneuver motor are also a major problem.” “你的意思是,把卫星做成小型空间站的形式？可这样的话,对于变轨发动机的要求就很高了后续的燃料补充也是个大问题。” leaf boat shows a faint smile, replied: 叶舟微微一笑,回答道: „No, we do not supplement the fuel.” “不,我们不补充燃料。” „Doesn't supplement the fuel? That how” “不补充燃料？那怎么” „No working substance plasma engine. Did you forget? In the Nantianmen project, I provided this achievement.” “无工质等离子发动机。你忘了吗？在南天门项目里,我是提供了这个成果的。” „Right, the present prototype thrust force is very low, even can say, before realizing controllable nuclear fusion, the thrust force that this model of engine can provide lowers to the degree that almost can ignore, but that is only the traditional engine in relative ground, but controllable nuclear fusion, itself also in our plan domains.” “没错,现在的原型机推力很低,甚至可以说,在实现可控核聚变之前,这款发动机所能提供的推力都低到几乎可以忽略不计的程度,可那只是相对地面上的传统发动机而言的,而可控核聚变,本身也在我们的计划版图之中。” „Therefore, this engine lived for the outer space, now, should make it take own first step.” “所以,这台发动机本来就是为太空而生的,现在,也该让它迈出自己的第一步了。” Receiving Musker's invitation one day later, Huaxia participated as promised with opposite party's discussion, but, in this time conference, Huaxia represented be relentless refuses the opposite party to conduct the proposition of technical exchange. 在收到马斯克的邀请一天之后,华夏方面如约参加了与对方的会谈,但是,在这次的会议上,华夏方面代表毫不留情地拒绝了对方进行技术交换的提议。 They have not explained the reason, but told Musker, technical side An who he provided was not in line with the development direction of Huaxia technological line. 他们没有说明原因,只是告诉马斯克,他所提供的技术方桉不符合华夏技术路线的发展方向。 What direction but are you? 可是你们到底是什么方向？ Musker does not think clearly. 马斯克想不明白。 However finished two childhood in the discussion, he obtained oneself answering tuart from the news. 不过在会谈结束两个小时候,他就从新闻上得到了自己的答桉。 No working substance ion engine project formally announced as the subordinate sub-item of Nantianmen project, and issued an issue of achievement. 无工质离子发动机项目作为南天门项目的下属子项目正式公布,并发布了一期成果。 The thrust force achieved astonishing 50 mN. 推力达到了惊人的50mN。 It is not high, but is lowers oddly. 不是高,而是低得离谱。 But lowers the odd thrust force like this, actually raised the monstrous waves in the space industry. 但就是这样低得离谱的推力,却在航天领域掀起了巨浪。 If, SPACEX tries to open human to enter the time of outer space massively, then, this ion engine wants to do, is broadly and grander matter. 如果说,SPACEX试图开启人类大规模进入太空的时代,那么,这台离子发动机想要做的,则是更远大、更宏伟的事情。 It wants to conquer, is not only is away from Earth merely several hundred kilometers and over a thousand kilometers „false” outer space. 它想要征服的,不仅仅是距离地球仅仅数百公里、上千公里的“虚假”的太空。 But beside the Solar System, beside Milky Way, true stars sea. 而是在太阳系之外,在银河系之外的,真正的星辰大海。 In comparison, SPACEX so-called „outer space relocation plan”, was simply weak looks like the child to disperse a step outside own main house gate, thinks oneself completed a extraordinary travel to be common. 相比之下,SPACEX的所谓“太空移民计划”,简直幼稚得像小孩子在自己家门外散了个步,就以为自己完成了一次了不起的旅行一般。
