Rebirth of science and technology academic master

really

Just as Qin Yuanqing expected, this live broadcast allowed the whole world to watch a grand fireworks feast!

Qin Yuanqing sighed and shook his head. This spaceflight is definitely not a child's play. Launching is about being foolproof, because a little mistake or defect will lead to the consequences of wasting all the efforts and falling short. This high risk is also a prominent feature of space launches.

Since the successful launch of the world's first artificial earth satellite on October 4, 1957, mankind's development and exploration of space has not been smooth sailing, but has been full of various failures and setbacks.

For example, in January 1967, three American astronauts, Grissom, Chaffee, and White, were killed in a fire on the Apollo 1 spacecraft while conducting a simulated launch of the Apollo 1 spacecraft at Cape Canaveral. This was the first time this has ever happened to mankind. Space disaster.

For example, on March 18, 1980, the former Soviet Union's Vostok carrier rocket exploded while refueling at the Plesetsk launch site. 45 technicians were killed on the spot, and five others died after being sent to the hospital.

Throughout the 20th century, mankind has experienced a total of 26 space disasters, resulting in more than a hundred deaths and tens of billions of dollars in losses. That is a U.S. dollar with strong purchasing power.

Entering the 21st century, it has never decreased, and the most famous one is undoubtedly the one on February 1, 2003, when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated and exploded in mid-air due to a fragment of insulating foam falling off the external fuel tank. All seven astronauts died. .

However, mankind has not been intimidated by this series of space disasters and stopped. Instead, it is still full of courage to explore space, explore the universe, and prepare for mankind to enter the interstellar era.

As Qin Yuanqing wrote in "When Humanity Begins to Look Up at the Stars", the future of mankind lies in the universe. Only by stepping out of the earth, the cradle of human life, and entering the universe can mankind have a future.

To be honest, as a being who has already stood at the pinnacle of humankind, Qin Yuanqing longs for human beings to leave the earth and enter the interstellar era more than anyone else. In this way, he can also see more scenery. Otherwise, according to the current speed of human development, even if it takes another For a hundred years, human beings will not be able to truly enter the interstellar age, and can only consume within the earth.

The first day of New Year's Day seems to indicate that 2020 will not be a good year, casting a layer of gloom over the world, and Qin Yuanqing is not in a good mood.

"Dad~~ I want to be an astronaut and conquer space in the future!" Doudou said, wearing a small spacesuit.

"I also want to be an astronaut. When I grow up, I want to go to the space station. I want to go to the moon to see Chang'e!" Maodou, who was also an astronaut wearing a small suit, said with bright eyes.

Qin Yuanqing was amused in his heart, but it was more of an encouragement. The topic of China's aerospace industry has been very popular in recent years, and China's own space station was recently completed. Although the orbital height of this space station is only 400~450 kilometers, and the inclination angle is 42 ~43 degrees, the design life is only 10 years, it can only accommodate 3 people for a long time, and the total weight is only 180 tons, which is not much different from the International Space Station, but this is unique to China.

This has led to the fact that many children and students no longer dream of becoming businessmen, entrepreneurs or celebrities, but rather want to be aerospace engineers and astronauts!

The spacesuits worn by the two little kids were very popular during this period.

Qin Yuanqing thinks this is a good idea. It can teach through fun and start teaching from young children, so that children will not want to be businessmen or celebrities one by one, and then live-stream and sell goods to make money, which is very bad.

Society still needs technology to promote it.

Aerospace engineering requires a group of scientists and astronauts to work together to achieve it.

"Idiot, there is no Guanghan Palace on the moon, and there is no Chang'e. There is no one on it. The teacher has said it, but you still don't change it!" Doudou pointed at Maodou and said.

"Nonsense, there is obviously Chang'e, a moon rabbit, and an osmanthus tree!" Maodou refused to admit defeat at all.

Qin Yuanqing was speechless when he saw the two little kids starting to quarrel again. The two little guys had been quarreling from time to time since they were young. Now they are going to elementary school, but this scene still happens from time to time.

Just as the world was cast into a haze due to the Artemis, the popular science article "When Humans Started to Look Up at the Stars" written by Qin Yuanqing was officially announced to have sold over one million copies within one month of its release.

Since his book "When Humans Started to Look Up at the Stars" was officially published on December 1st last month, it caused a frenzy, with people buying it one after another. As a result, due to insufficient preprints, the stock was sold out in just three days. The company had to print more copies. Under such circumstances, it took one month to sell more than one million copies.

Qin Yuanqing did not expect to make money by publishing books. Although this book "When Humans Begin to Look Up at the Stars" is priced at 100 yuan per copy, Qin Yuanqing's royalties are as high as 20%. One million copies will bring him 20 million in royalties. It is far inferior to the "Qin Family Collection" he published ten years ago. Even if more than ten years have passed, "Qin Family Collection" can bring at least hundreds of millions of royalties to Qin Yuanqing every year, and the annual sales volume exceeds 500 Thousands of volumes.

Even if Qin's Collection includes the remuneration for his papers, Qin Yuanqing actually didn't care about that amount of money. He made too much money every year.

Now that WeChat Group has officially delisted from the U.S. stock market, and waits until it re-lists on the A-share market in a few months, his net worth will rise significantly again.

During last year's "Forbes Rich List", many super rich people saw their net worth shrink significantly, but Qin Yuanqing's wealth still exceeded 100 billion U.S. dollars. The couple still ranked first in the world's richest list with a net worth of 200 billion U.S. dollars. , once again retaining the title of the world's richest man.

It's just that people have been interested, surprised, and shocked at Qin Yuanqing's wealth from the beginning, but now they are completely numb and have no interest at all.

In their opinion, it is normal for Qin Yuanqing to have more wealth, and they don't feel too much about it. Even though he is a super rich man, the first impression Qin Yuanqing gives people is still that of a scholar!

Yes, most people do not regard Qin Yuanqing as a super rich man at all, but as a world-famous scholar.

And no matter how much wealth a scholar possesses, it is all the wealth of knowledge, and knowledge is priceless. This truth is universal all over the world.

Moreover, Qin Yuanqing's cumulative charitable donations to date have exceeded 250 billion yuan, benefiting tens of millions of people, and will continue to have an impact. In people's eyes, Qin Yuanqing's reputation as 'the world's top philanthropist' is comparable to that of 'the world's richest man' too much.

According to some netizens, if rich people could do what Qin Yuanqing did, then there would be no such thing as "unkindness for the sake of wealth" in this world!

Qin Yuanqing was not at all concerned about the news that "When Humans Started to Look Up at the Stars" had sold more than one million copies. Instead, he turned on the TV and paid attention to the upcoming launch of Chang'e 5. Since yesterday, the launch of Chang'e 5 has been broadcast live. .
