Over the years, he has indeed made a lot of money by underwriting the high-end aviation materials and satellite parts produced by Ascendas Group, but in the eyes of some giants, he has always been a low-end gadget.
¡°However, when Merlinz still takes over the space launch business, he will be tantamount to tampering with the cake of domestic interest groups in the United States.
And this interest group is none other than the cake of the Space Launch Alliance composed of giants such as Lockheed, Boeing, and Northrop.
You must know that in the commercial launch market, the Space Launch Alliance has had an absolute monopoly since the 1970s. The only one that can compete with it is the European Arianespace Company. The problem is that Europeans have to count on the United States in many aspects. Otherwise, it will be a problem for their Ariane launch vehicle to take off.
"As long as the United States curls its lips around the parameters, Europe's rocket launch pads will explode.
Under such circumstances, Europe cannot compete with the Americans at all, and can only survive by picking up the water that the Americans don't want.
After the end of the Cold War, Russia rushed into the commercial space launch market. As the direct successor of the Soviet Union, there is no doubt about Russia¡¯s space launch technology.
It stands to reason that it can tear off a large piece of meat under the monopoly of the United States.
" However, Russia is top-notch in other aspects, but its economy is the only one that is not good enough. It is precisely the basis of all other economic advantages. As a result, the aerospace business without economic support will be like a sand sculpture, and it will collapse into a mess.
As a result, all kinds of malfunctions, all kinds of exploding fireworks, and all kinds of mistakes occurred one after another. As a result, within a few years of Russia's entry into the space launch market, its reputation completely collapsed, so that most people did not dare to come. There was no other way, and no one wanted to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. The satellite we created is just a big fireworks that is pleasing to the eye, isn't it?
¡°Europe is a puppet, Russia has made itself available, and the only thing left is China¡¯s commercial aerospace.
To be honest, the American Space Launch Alliance really didn¡¯t pay much attention to China¡¯s commercial space launch field at the beginning. It felt that a backward developing country could only hold its breath to build a launch vehicle that could fly up. So what if we enter the commercial aerospace field? After a few explosions, the whole world will know which one is better and which one is a bust.
At the end of the 1980s, China Aerospace, which had just entered the international commercial space launch market, did make many mistakes and discomforts. However, China Aerospace quickly established itself based on the foundation laid by two bombs and one satellite and the down-to-earth style of the aerospace field over the years. It overcame these difficulties and quickly established a foothold in the national commercial space launch market.
Of course, what¡¯s more important is that China¡¯s commercial launch is too cost-effective. It is also a two-satellite rocket in low-Earth orbit. The US price is US$550 million, and it does not include on-orbit debugging.
China only needs 160 million U.S. dollars, and based on customer needs, it will provide three days of on-orbit commissioning services and then deliver it.
The price is one-fifth that of the United States, and the service attitude is much better than that of the Americans. The most important thing is that the success rate is not low, at least more than 90%. Although it is slightly worse than the United States, it is more critical than Russia. It¡¯s much better to be super unreliable if you don¡¯t know where the parts are.
This has attracted a large number of countries, regions and organizations that are interested in launching satellites but have little money. Because of this, China's space launches have experienced explosive growth since 1993.
Precisely at this time, Ascendas Group, an aviation manufacturer, announced its entry into the international commercial space launch field, and soon obtained a launch vehicle production license and the first commercial launch order.
From the perspective of the American Space Launch Alliance, my dear, China is trying to build a more efficient commercial space launch industry cluster. If this is done by them, with the current success rate of China's aerospace, low launch costs and efficient space In terms of operational technology, the US Space Launch Alliance's monopoly is on the verge of GG.
Is this okay?
¡°Forget it, you Chinese should stop playing with such high-end things as space launches and just go back to making shirts and slippers with peace of mind. It¡¯s not nerve-wracking or labor-intensive. Let¡¯s leave such a brain-cell-consuming task to our hard-working Americans!
So they came forward to coordinate the international space launch business, hoping to limit China Aerospace¡¯s launch share, and at the same time offered an olive branch to acquire the space exploration company under Ascendas Group.
Of course, neither the leaders of the aerospace department nor Zhuang Jianye could agree to this matter, so they directly rejected the American Space Launch Alliance.
After that, the American Space Launch Alliance said nothing. It seemed that China was allowed to develop as it pleased. In fact, it found Merlinz, the middleman of Ascendas Group to undertake the Motorola Iridium launch mission, and asked this professional international broker to find a way.
Merlinz is a powerful figure in the underground market of high-end aviation materials, and is considered a guest in some small and medium-sized countries. However, in the top interest group in the United States, the Space Launch Alliance, he is no different from an ant. People look up to him. Just raise your hand and crush him to death.
Let him find a way, dare to refuse?
¡°Maybe the next day, the powerful American authorities will raid his home and expose a lot of unclean things, and he will spend his whole life behind bars.
Therefore, Merlinz had no choice but to bite the bullet and destroy the money-making channels he had worked so hard to establish. So he worked hard on the weather and prepared to rely on the powerful weather forecasting capabilities of the United States to inflict heavy damage on China's aerospace industry, thereby attacking China's aerospace industry. While gaining a good reputation, it also gives myself a chance to escape unscathed.
I thought that the advanced technology of the United States Weather Bureau would be foolproof, but I didn't expect that the Thunderbolt-120 long-endurance drone from Ascendas Group was even more powerful. It just found a 50-minute window in the charged cumulonimbus clouds. Expect.
¡°That¡¯s all, the key is that Zhuang Jianye used live TV to explain this fact to the world and at the same time effectively proved his strength.
Innocent and without regrets, brave and tenacious.
This is the image of Zhuang Jianye on the screen. In comparison, whether it is him, Merlinz or the American Space Launch Alliance behind him, they are simply low.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The more important thing is that he deceived another giant Motorola. You must know that he told Motorola about the weather problems and encouraged the launch to be postponed indefinitely, but now the live broadcast is there. Here you go, what would Motorola¡¯s executives think after seeing it?
Merlinz didn¡¯t dare to think about it and could only stand there, his expression changing, not knowing what to do.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but there was a "boom~~" sound on the TV screen, and then I heard the commentator say excitedly: "The Chang-4 launch vehicle carried two Motorola Iridium communication satellites and successfully lifted off "
Only then did Merlinz wake up and realize something immediately. He quickly picked up the phone on the ground and dialed a number: "Liszt, I can only count on you now"
¡¡
At the same time, at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, when the screen in the control hall showed that the two satellites had successfully separated from the rocket and entered the predetermined orbit, the child immediately leaned into Zhuang Jianye¡¯s ear and said: ¡°I just received a call from Embraer. According to the news, they are very interested in our Thunder-120 long-endurance UAV."
"Oh, is it so?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Jianye¡¯s already brilliant smile became even more kind!
