Super technology leader

The "Los Santos Riot" on the evening of February 6th shocked the world.

The internationally circulated image was that of a raging fire, but a deeper layer revealed that the designated hotel for the "First World Commercial Lunar Conference" was breached by rioters, and aerospace workers from around the world were violently robbed.

Originally, while the protests in America quickly spread around the world, people had become somewhat accustomed to them.

Honestly, it happens every few years, and after so many times, people naturally get used to it.

Anyway, it's impossible to solve the problems, and in the end, it always turns into violent incidents that are then suppressed by the military.

Fortunately, they've learned a few things, like protecting various statues, shops, and presidential properties in advance.

This incident was basically a repeat of last year's, but no one expected that aerospace workers from around the world would be involved, and as the ones being violently robbed.

Although the conference had ended and some teams had already left, due to the tight schedule, the protest groups had surrounded the building very early, and a considerable number of teams were still residing inside.

Aerospace workers, whether working in government agencies or private companies, are all highly skilled talents with many channels to voice their opinions and many areas they can influence.

The money they were robbed of, or even the fact that they were injured, are minor issues, but the computers they were robbed of contained classified information.

Of course, the highest-level technical secrets weren't there; they definitely wouldn't be kept in personal laptops and mobile phones, but for aerospace workers, every word they write could be a secret, and that's impossible to calculate.

If these electronic devices are snatched by rioters and either have their data wiped and sold as second-hand goods, or the data inside is leaked and becomes known to other aerospace companies, the consequences would be completely different.

Because of this incident, many aerospace companies expressed their condemnation of America, including American companies themselves.

Their company members were unable to leave because protesters were blocking the hotel entrance, and then American officials sent police, stating that they would ensure their safety.

At the time, they were quite reassured.

Who knew something would happen that night?

Because of the potential for leaks, the international aerospace community was greatly shaken afterward.

Almost all companies advanced or directly canceled various projects, and then the news was constantly bombarded.

Today, this aerospace company talked about a certain project, and tomorrow that aerospace company talked about a certain technology.

Today, there was news that a certain aerospace company's technological progress was delayed, and another company came out to strongly refute: "That's not true, our research and development has even accelerated."

Tomorrow, another company sued another company, claiming that the other party stole their technology.

These were just small squabbles between small aerospace companies; giant companies like Space X were even more awesome, making big news as soon as they came out.

"New welding technology achieves breakthrough, Starship will test flight as soon as possible!"

"New control technology achieves breakthrough, New Glenn rocket is expected to test flight within the year!"

"New materials achieve breakthrough, inflatable space station will re-enter orbit for experiment!"

"Mini space shuttle is being upgraded, will set sail again!"

"Suborbital aircraft fights the sky again, space travel is just around the corner!"

Various news of technological breakthroughs bombarded the public, as if humanity was about to enter a full-scale aerospace era.

Outsiders were excited and exclaimed that it was invincible, but only Tang Chao knew that the plan was already underway.

Their technology had "broken through", and after a period of time, he would receive parts shipped from all over the world.

The higher-ups certainly knew about this. Tang Chao had initially conspired with the higher-ups before finding the six major aerospace companies.

Compared to the control here, the aerospace companies there just wanted to get more orders, and those giant companies that had dominated NASA's launch missions for decades had always been pressing down on them, and they had always wanted to overthrow those giants.

The main business of those companies was not aerospace equipment manufacturing. They were very fierce at the beginning, but now they have a feeling of lying down and earning dirty money.

Not only do they not upgrade their technology, but they also keep asking for subsidies, constantly taking money from NASA.

They have been operating for decades, and a huge network of relationships escorts them. If it weren't for the rise of Space X directly grabbing their orders, they would be able to suck NASA dry without completing any orders.

Even though private aerospace has risen, with cheaper prices, because of the influence of the huge network of relationships, those giant companies can still get a large number of orders, and private aerospace is facing a situation of not being able to eat enough with billions of dollars every year, so they want to overthrow the giants.

At the very least, they want to overthrow the aerospace business and feed themselves.

Because of these, both sides have very good hidden cooperation conditions, so the higher-ups agreed to Tang Chao's plan.

And according to the information passed on by those "partners", they were called together for a secret meeting, which was that the Pioneer company had been targeted.

They received a new mission: to specifically snipe the development of Pioneer company.

And strangely, this action was not led by NASA, but jointly led by NASA, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the CIA.

Regarding this, when they were face to face, their attitude was very firm, resolutely sniping Pioneer, and then they turned around and notified Tang Chao.

Now they just want to make money and vigorously develop their own company to become a giant.

With 50% profit, it will take risks.

For 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws.

With 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging.

The latest novel is first published at Six 9 Books Bar!

The American military sales contract once exposed a shocking bribery case, just to sell its own company's products to foreign countries and earn more profits.

And now the six major aerospace companies want to break the monopoly of the giants and then make themselves new giants, of course they can do this.

This news made Tang Chao laugh, because it completely decrypted it for him. The previous troubles in America must have been operated by the CIA behind the scenes.

This time, letting aerospace companies get involved in messing with his company, the method is still weak. Prohibiting cooperation is already a cliché, there is no need to say it, and it is useless.

Then there is only one method.

Technical suppression!

From this moment on, the six major aerospace companies have begun to implement the plan.

"You buy more of our services, or allocate some money to us, so that our technology research and development can be accelerated. If our technology breaks through quickly, one breakthrough after another, and the other party has no technological breakthroughs at all, this is a kind of suppression."

"Moreover, if our technology breaks through first, it can not only improve America's international status, but also grab the international aerospace market first, so even if the other party follows up with breakthroughs, there will be no orders, and they will go bankrupt sooner or later."

"Next, space travel and the moon will inevitably be hot spots for competition, but our research capabilities are limited, unless we recruit more people to expand the research team, but we don't have that many orders or that much money, so we can't expand the research team."

"Think about it before, what did we Americans rely on to land on the moon on behalf of all mankind?"

"This time we don't need that much money, after all, times have changed, and we also have advantages, we only need a little money, a little small money to achieve crushing against Tianxia and Pioneer!"

"How about it, are you tempted? It's better to act than to be tempted, we really don't want much, a first charge of 60 million, 10 million per company, and you can be happy all year round!"

"So recharge, recharge to become stronger!"

The bosses of each aerospace company are all shrewd people, especially in terms of attracting investment, each of them is awesome, fooling the principal into a daze.

Of course, also because of Pioneer's relationship, this "first charge" is really a first charge, and there are various recharge traps waiting behind, until it triggers a full-scale new space race.

It needs to throw a lot of money into it, and it can't stop.

Just like NASA's two pigeon king projects, the SLS rocket and the Webb Space Telescope, their research and development time and costs have greatly exceeded the original expectations.

Even so, why not announce the cancellation, but invest more money year after year?

Because a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources have been spent before, if you announce the cancellation, wouldn't all the previous investment be wasted?

Fortunately, they can still see the end, and they are getting closer and closer to perfection, there will be a day when they will be launched, and those investments will not be wasted after all.

Sometimes, to a certain extent, it is really not a matter of withdrawing investment, this is just a matter of equipment, what if it involves the future of the country?

Just like at the beginning, both sides were about to exhaust themselves, but they still didn't dare to stop, until they finally couldn't hold on and chose to cooperate.

After the competition ended, many bold projects were cancelled.

Nothing else, it's all about money.
