Rentingharbor?
租赁港口?
The proposition of MuskmadeJiang Chenslightlysurprisedactuallyunder.马斯克的提议倒是让江晨略微惊讶了下。InStar Ring Tradingabout the discussion of Space Elevatorprofitplan, really hasaboutStar Ring Cityharborrenting and berthrentingpreelectionplanfirmly.
在星环贸易内部关于太空电梯盈利方案的讨论中,确实有关于星环城港口租赁、泊位租赁的预选方案。After all a market of person, the scaleis eventually limited. Monopolizes a cakewithit, might as welluniteeveryoneto doin a big way the cake, the chief surgeoncutsthiscaketo comeagainwell. Only wheneveryonejoinstothishugemarket, cancause the maximum benefit of Star Ring Trading. Meanwhile, canavoidmanyunnecessaryconflict.
毕竟一个人的市场,规模终究是有限的。与其独享一块蛋糕,不如联合所有人将蛋糕做大,再主刀切这块蛋糕来得好。只有当所有人都加入到这个庞大的市场中,才能使星环贸易的利益最大化。同时,也可以避免许多不必要的争端。Imagines, the development of the whole worldforeignspace resource, mustpass throughSpace Elevatorsituated inCountry of Xin. The freighters of allcountries, sea levelbase depot of contactunderSpace Elevator. All the resourcesfromouter space, mustloseby way of the Country of Xinharbortoward the market of the world, what does thismeanregarding the economy, currency and the international standingCountry of Xin?
想象一下,整个世界对外太空资源的开发,都得经过位于新国的太空电梯。所有国家的货轮,都将往来于太空电梯之下的海面基站。所有来自外太空的资源,都得经由新国的港口输往全世界的市场,这对于新国的经济、货币、国际地位来说意味着什么?Competition? Naturallywill have.
竞争?当然会有。But if relying ontechnology that leads a century, but alsocompetitiveanythingSPACeX and planetresources and class/flow of deep spaceindustrycompany, the Star Ring Tradingstaff membersmight as welllook for a tofuto killto consider as finished!
但如果凭借着领先一个世纪的技术,还竞争不过什么SpaceX、行星资源、深空工业公司之流,星环贸易全体员工还不如找块豆腐撞死算了!HoweverwhatmakesJiang Chensurprisedis, let aloneiswhatharbor and berth, nowSpace Elevatoris just completed, evenStar Ring Cityis only an embryonic formis placed there. Before the United NationsOuter Spacedevelopmentsummitconvenes, Muskhad consideredunexpectedly that farplacewent, gaveJiang Chenreallyshockinglyunder.
不过让江晨惊讶的是,别说是什么港口和泊位,现在太空电梯才刚刚竣工,连星环城都只是个雏形摆在那里。在联合国外层空间开发峰会召开之前,马斯克居然就已经考虑到那么远的地方去了,着实把江晨给惊艳了下。„What kind of? Is interested?”Muskaskedwith the earnesttone.
“怎么样?感兴趣吗?”马斯克用认真的口吻问道。„very interested......, I am very rather accidental.” The Jiang Chenexpressionsaidstrangely.
“非常感兴趣……倒不如说,我很意外。”江晨表情古怪地说道。„oh?does not know that waswhereIoffended——”
“哦?不知道是我哪里冒犯了——”„No, youmisunderstood.”Jiang Chenshakes the head, provoked the right sidewith the fingerfrom the left side the total informationcommunicationwindow, thensaid,„wereallyhad the intention in rentingharboraspect, butplannedalsoto stayin the written documentrelated. Nowwehave not been ableto answertoyou, sinceyou said that whenUnited NationsOuter Space Summitfinished, after westudied a reasonablecooperationplan, wecan the earliest possible timecontact withyou.”
“不,你误会了。”江晨摇了摇头,将全息通讯窗口用手指从左侧拨弄到了右侧,接着说道,“我们确实有租赁港口这方面的意向,但相关计划都还只是停留在书面文件上。现在我们还无法给你们答复,不过既然你提出来了,等联合国外层空间峰会结束,我们研究出一个合理的合作方案后,我们会第一时间联系你们。”Looks the happy expression, Musksaiddelightedly.
面露喜色,马斯克眉飞色舞地说道。„Thataskedyou!”
“那就拜托你了!”„Othermatter?”Jiang Chenasked.
“还有别的事吗?”江晨问道。„Naturally, a matter,” the Musksmilesaid,„weare originally scheduled for early Februaryto launchFalcon No. 9rocket, carries450kilogramssuppliesto go toInternational Space Stationto complete the supplies. Howevernowlooks like, don't we seem to waste the 60 millionUSDnecessity?”
“当然,还有一件事,”马斯克微笑道,“我们原定于2月初发射猎鹰九号火箭,携带450公斤补给前往国际空间站完成补给。不过现在看来,我们似乎没有浪费六千万美元的必要?”„Youplanned that outsources the NASAprojecttous?”Jiang Chenselected the eyebrow, interestedsay/way.
“你打算把NASA的项目外包给我们?”江晨挑了挑眉毛,饶有兴趣道。Telephonethathit a soundto refer, Muskreplied.
电话那头打了个响指,马斯克答道。„Very much so.”
“正是如此。”

……
The expense of upwardtransportationanddownwardtransportationhas the difference, according, but the cargotypedifference, the compartment and acceleration of planusewill have certaindifference, the offer is also naturally different. Butin any event, the Space Elevatortransportation cost is also lower thanrocketabsolutely.
向上运输和向下运输的费用是有差别的,根据而货物类型的不同,使用的车厢、加速方案也会存在一定的差异,报价自然也就有所不同。但无论如何,太空电梯的运输成本也绝对低于火箭。
The Falcon No. 9standardofferis60,000,000USD, even if the successrecyclesfirst stage rocketto save80%launchexpenses( success rate not high), stillhas12,000,000USD. Comparesin450kilogramscargo, the transportation cost of eachkilogramcommodityalsoreaches as high as26,000USD.猎鹰九号标准报价为6000万美元,即使成功回收一级火箭可以省掉80%的发射费用(成功概率并不高),也有1200万美元之多。相较于450公斤的货物,每公斤物资的运输成本也高达2.6万美元。But the offer of Star Ring Tradingis, escorts tosynchronous orbittogether with450kilogramssupplies that Dragon Craftandcarries, altogetheronlygathers2,000,000Xin Dollar. According to the currentexchange rateconvertsUSD, on2,150,000USDover.
而星环贸易的报价是,连同龙飞船在内及其携带的450公斤补给送往同步轨道,总共只收取200万新元。根据当前汇率换算成美元,也就215万美元出头。According tosubsidy policy of United Statesto the aerospaceindustry, NASAtoSPACeXcompanypaymentexpenseprobably61,000,000USDabout. IfoutsourcestoStar Ring Tradingdoes, is almost 60time of profit!
根据美国对航天产业的补贴政策,NASA向spaceX公司支付的费用大概6100万美元左右。如果外包给星环贸易来做,几乎是六十倍的利润!Moreoverdoes not needto betthat the probability of recyclingfirst stage rocket!
而且还不用去赌那个回收一级火箭的概率!So the terrorist|terrifyingprofit, makesanycapitalistfallsufficientlyinsanely.
如此恐怖的利润,足以让任何一位资本家疯掉。Even ifwill have the project of subsidynatureto outsourceto the overseaspossiblycauses the Federal Governmentdisaffection, Muskstillmadesuchdecision. Howas to quell the NASAanger, hehas thoughtenoughexcuse.
即使将带有补贴性质的项目外包给国外可能招致联邦政府的不满,马斯克依然做出了如此的决定。至于如何平息NASA的愤怒,他已经想好了足够的说辞。In addition, Jiang Chenalsoejected a proposition that has the temptationnature. Ifwill supply the workentireto outsourcetoStar Ring Trading, omitsto launchapproximately8tonsDragon Craft, Star Ring Tradinghereofferwill compresstocounting100,000Xin Dollar. HoweverMuskhas not completely lost the reason, declinedJiang Chen's„good intention”.
除此之外,江晨还抛出了一个极具诱.惑性的提议。如果将补给工作整个都外包给星环贸易,省去发射约八吨重的龙飞船,星环贸易这边的报价将压缩至数十万新元。不过马斯克并没有完全丧失理智,谢绝了江晨的“好意”。
After hanging up the telephone, Musklooksimmediatelytoownassistant.
挂断电话后,马斯克立刻看向了自己的助理。„February'slaunch plancancelsimmediately, the Falconrocketrelated technologypacksell, catches up withas far as possiblebeforethis weekUnited NationsOuter Space Summit. A whileImustgo to a launching centerpersonally, afternoonarrangementhelpsmeturn down.”
“2月份的发射计划立刻取消,将猎鹰火箭相关技术打包出售,尽量赶在这个星期的联合国外层空间峰会之前。一会儿我要亲自去一趟发射中心,下午的安排都帮我推掉。”On the assistantfaceappeared the surprisedexpression.
助理脸上浮现了惊讶的表情。„But...... thisis the NASAorder, moreoverourFalconrocketenginehas produced.”
“可是……这是NASA的订单,而且我们的猎鹰火箭发动机已经生产完毕。”„Besides the rocketengine, otherpartsstartedto produce?”Stopped the footsteps that moves toward the entrance, Muskhas turned the headto askearnestly.
“除了火箭发动机之外,其它部件开始生产了吗?”停下了走向门口的脚步,马斯克转过头认真地问道。„Waited a bit......”assistantto reachthatpack of documents on oneselfdesk the hand, turned out that hemustlook forfrominside, turnedthataboutproduction schedulereportrapidly, „has not started——”
“稍等……”助理将手伸向了自己办公桌上的那叠文件,从里面翻出了他要找的那份,迅速翻到了关于生产进度报告的那一项,“还没有开始——”„Immediatelycancels. Right, packsto sell outproducedthatrocketengine. Alsogivesmeto terminateabout the research and development of Falcon No. 10rocketimmediately, allotment that will come outtoThird GenerationDragon Crafton.”
“立刻取消。对了,把已经生产的那台火箭发动机也打包卖掉。关于猎鹰十号火箭的研发也给我立刻终止,将多出来的预算分配到第三代龙飞船上。”„Whyis?” The assistantcannot bearask.
“可是为什么?”助理忍不住问道。Falcon No. 10rocket, hethinksoneselfperhapsbesidesMusk, clearestthisMr.Chairman of the Boardpoured intomanypainstaking carepeopleonit. Heis not really ableto believe that afterthistelephones , to promote Musk of Falcon No. 10rocketR & D programsingle-handedly, endedthisgreatprojectunexpectedlysuperficially.猎鹰十号火箭,他自认为自己或许是除了马斯克之外,最清楚这位董事长先生在它身上倾注了多少心血的人。他实在无法相信,就在这一通电话之后,一手推动猎鹰十号火箭研发项目的马斯克,竟然就这么轻描淡写地一手终结了这个伟大的项目。„Becauseitis obsolete.”Musksaidwithout hesitation.
“因为它已经过时了。”马斯克毫不犹豫地说道。Makessuchdecision, inhisheartalsofilledbeing unwilling, buthe is very clear, even before a halfminute, oneselfmadethis whole lifeto be calmest is still the wisestchoice.
做出这样的决定,他心中同样充满了不甘,但他却很清楚,就算半分钟前,自己做了这辈子最冷静也是最明智的选择。
The birth of Space Elevatorsymbolizes that the radicaldecline of traditionalrocketaerospace, will eliminatecavalrysuchlikeTankfinally. Even ifcontinuesto consumeso muchfundsto doFalcon No. 10rocket, is still dusk ago putting up a last-ditch struggle. The expensiveoccurrencecost, is uncompetitivein front ofSpace Elevator!太空电梯的诞生标志着传统火箭航天的彻底衰落,就像坦克最终将淘汰骑兵那样。即使是继续耗费大量的资金将猎鹰十号火箭做出来,也不过是黄昏前的垂死挣扎罢了。昂贵的发生成本,在太空电梯面前根本毫无竞争力!Bysubsidy?
靠补贴?God, United States, butCapitalismcountry!
上帝,美国可是资.本主.义国家!Cannot onlyeatby the subsidyfor a lifetime! One dayCongressBudget Committeewill lose the patience.
光靠补贴可不能吃一辈子!总有一天国会的预算委员会会失去耐心。Looks that thisworked for the expression that onmanyyears of assistantfacesstruggledforoneself, the Muskdeep breath the one breath, saidslowly.
看着这位为自己效力多年的助理脸上挣扎的表情,马斯克深呼吸了一口气,缓缓地开口说道。„MydearMr.Besmore, friend of mine. Youshouldbe ableto understandme, understood that Iat this moment, at heartabsolutelynotlikemysurfaceseems likerelaxed.

“我亲爱的贝斯莫尔先生,我的朋友。你应该能理解我,理解此刻的我,心里绝对不像我表面看起来的那样轻松。放弃猎鹰系列火箭并不意味着放弃一切,而做出这样的选择……我应该是整个公司中,最难受的那个人。但理智告诉我,我必须这么做。”„Eliminatesfrom the endoatmospheregoes toOuter Spacerocketis only the timeissue. The Falconserieshas completeditshistorical mission, wewill learn from the experience, the technology, thencloses the coffinforitsolemn.

“淘汰从大气层内前往外层空间的火箭只是时间问题。猎鹰系列已经完成了它的历史使命,我们会从中汲取经验,还有技术,然后神情肃穆地为它合上棺材。我知道这很不容易……但如果我们不想让这个系列成为我们的绝唱,那么我们就必须顺应历史的潮流向前走下去。”„Is stronger, greatly, is more rapid, canround tripfree the spaceshipinCosmos, therewill beourfuture!”
“更强,更大,更迅速,能在宇宙中来去自如的飞船,那里才是我们的未来!”
