Chapter 452: The Satellite of the Statue of Liberty, the Isle of Building the Elevator
Cape Canaveral, North America, Florida.
In the center of the exhibition hall, a steel cable is hung with a silver-shaped hexahedral satellite. It uses the sun as the energy source. Huge solar panels on all sides extend, forming a concentrating ring with a radius of 17.62 meters.
Musk smiled and led the American high-level inspection team to visit. He said proudly: "This is the prototype of the Statue of Liberty satellite, the most powerful communication satellite in the history of the earth. Pay attention to its solar panels. The huge solar panels will obtain more energy and keep the satellite running at high power."
Everyone nodded repeatedly. The Statue of Liberty communication satellite was still very shocking. When the solar panels were fully unfolded, they were almost equivalent to the area of more than two basketball courts.
It seems that this is a design style that is powerful and miraculous. It can increase the power of communication satellites at the limit to increase data traffic and communication distance, so as to achieve the purpose of using low-Earth orbit communication satellites, connecting to the Internet, and watching small movies.
"In order to improve performance, we used all-solid-state batteries produced by Star Technology, and their battery packs are the best." Musk said without any ignorance.
After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
After the semiconductor plan was almost destroyed by Xingchen Technology, the Starlink plan is the core of North America's resistance to China. Musk actually used key components of his competitors in such an important plan. What if Xingchen Technology discovers it and leaves a backdoor program?
"Don't look at me in surprise. The battery is just a battery. The control module is produced by ourselves. It cannot be controlled by Xingchen Technology. It should not be a difficult thing to recognize the excellence of its opponents. In the field of battery, Xingchen Technology is a well-deserved global overlord. We must admit this and keep working hard with this goal."
When everyone heard that they only used the solid-state battery of Xingchen Technology, the module control chip and distribution chip were produced by themselves, and there was no hidden danger of being invaded, so they felt relieved.
Musk continued to explain that the motor comes from the jet propulsion laboratory. Although it is both an ultrasonic motor, its performance is far worse than that of Xingchen Technology.
Carbon fiber was originally wanted to buy high-performance carbon from Xingchen Technology, but found that high-performance carbon was an export control product. No matter how much it cost, people didn't sell it, so they had to settle for the second best and used Neon Toli's latest product, tr9000.
Musk complained: "Damn it, we are being choked by China! Many components we want to use are not sold at all. This is really unreasonable. Is there any internationalist spirit? Developing space is the common hope of all mankind, not their own business!"
When Musk talks about Star Technology, he is so angry that he is not angry.
However, everyone present was not as angry as Musk, because they all knew very well that this technology war was actually initiated by North America. When the North American authorities engaged in ZTE and Huawei and embargoed high-tech electronic products, they were not polite. Now China is just treating others with the same principles.
"We have already understood the situation on your side. The progress is more smooth than expected. What are their actions on the other side of Pacific Co., Ltd.?" Someone asked, resolutely curbing Star Technology and dragging them down in the space plan are North America's core plan.
After hearing this question, Musk frowned and said with confusion: "According to the information we have learned at present, Xingchen Technology seems to plan to build a space station, which is tens of thousands of tons, very large. They have also established a space travel department, claiming to start the interstellar tourism industry soon."
A ten thousand-ton space station?
Interstellar travel?
It seems to be very unemployed...
After hearing Musk's introduction, everyone was shocked.
Sure enough, China is a nation that is passionate about real estate. North America has challenged to build a global interstellar Internet and establish hegemony in the field of interstellar communications. Star Technology's response is to build a big house in space...

Swish ~
The plane landed in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The person who walked off the plane with Luo Jia was a man in his early thirties wearing a black suit and standing upright. The man's name was Lu Junlin, and he was the right-hand man of the general in the capital.
The black Volvo electric luxury car was parked under the plane, hanging with the Malay authorities' license plate. Luo Jia, Lu Junlin and others boarded the car that had been waiting for a long time, left the airport in the dark night, and left the special passage directly, without stopping the customs staff at all.
This is Luo Jia’s treatment today. Apart from the lack of a red carpet, it is not much different from the children who are welcomed by hand-held flowers.
"Save time to take a break. We will attend the unveiling ceremony tomorrow morning." Lu Junlin looked at his watch and said to Luo Jia.
Xu Chunbiao took someone to check the suite. After confirming that it was safe, Luo Jia entered, threw the suitcase casually, took out beer and cashew nuts from the refrigerator, went to the bathroom to take a bath, and had two drinks.
According to his experience, drinking some alcohol before and after a plane can relieve nerves and muscles that are tense due to changes in pressure. In normal times, Luo Jia hardly drinks alcohol.
There was nothing to say that night. The next day, Luo Jia personally attended the launch ceremony of the Carmen vortex street power generation array. This was the third one, located in Port Klang in the western suburbs of Kuala Lumpur.
Before this, the powerful Huaxia Construction Engineering Group had completed the construction work in Penang in the north and Bintulu City in East Malaysia.
Sitting on the stage, Luo Jia hit a haha, raising her hand impatiently.
Although he was regarded as a guest of honor by the Malay authorities, Luo Jia still lacked interest. Lu Junlin couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Luo, even if we pretend, we should pretend to be happy, okay? This is not for the Malay authorities, but for Indonesia next door. If it cannot successfully arouse the interest of the Indonesian authorities, your ladder will be in trouble."
Luo Jia had no choice but to nod, cheer up again, and smiled kindly in front of the camera. When the ceremony ended, Luo Jia also planned to accept an interview with the reporter and give a speech.
In short, it is to be high-profile and let the whole world know that since Malay got on the big ship of Star Technology, the benefits have been huge and enviable.
People may not know that space elevators can be built anywhere, and must be built near the equator and on a geosynchronous orbit with the same rotation period as the earth.
In addition, the height of the space elevator must reach 36,000 kilometers, because the height of the synchronous track is 35,900 kilometers. Only after exceeding this height can sufficient tension be generated.
Simply put, it is a place where China did not build a space elevator and needed to rent a large piece of land within the equatorial country.
After strict screening by the Ministry of Geology, several locations were selected in the equatorial area, the most promising one was in Indonesia, called Weigu Island.
"Let us invite Mr. Luo Jia, the founder of Xingchen Technology, the world's richest man, the president of Xingchen University!" The host said in a very exaggerated tone.
Hurry ~
The audience suddenly burst into applause. More than 30% of the Malays are Chinese, most of whom can speak Mandarin, go to independent schools since childhood, and do not intermarry with foreigners. It is very traditional.
Luo Jia is currently in the world and has a bit of a Chinese character, so she is very popular.
Luo Jia's speech has always been known for his absolute rationality and position, but in this scenario, he has been much more restrained. He will also have to build land and build elevators from Indonesia, and his aggressive image is not conducive to negotiations with the Indonesian authorities.
Luo Jia's speech focused on mutual benefit and bilateral cooperation.
With three Carmen vortex power generation arrays, Malay will not only not lack electricity, but will also have an incredible electricity price. Although it cannot directly reduce the electricity price to an incredible cent per kilowatt-hour like China, the price of 2 cents is almost defeated by the Dugu Qiu.
In tropical countries like Malay, electricity prices are very important because only when the electricity price is low enough can air conditioners be put into use on a large scale. With a large number of air conditioners, productivity can be improved and everyone is willing to work.
*** Once said, Xingjiao is given by air conditioners. If there is no air conditioner in tropical countries, there will be no productivity. If you sweat when you move, you will be so comfortable to work. If you are lying under the shade of a tree, you will be able to eat bananas.
Luo Jia is doing his best job, drawing a blueprint for Malaysia. With electricity, the next step is to popularize wireless charging and bring convenience to everyone.
Then there is the development of industry. Low electricity prices will bring huge cost advantages. Malay will develop into Southeast Asia's largest rubber products base. Neighboring countries will definitely not be competitors, because Xingchen Technology can not only bring low electricity prices, but also various highly automated finishing assembly lines.
Hurry ~
After hearing Luo Jia's wild promise, the scene suddenly became excited, as if he saw a beautiful future waving.
It is said that from ancient times to the present, the country on Southeast Asia has not had a good life. Except for the alien Singapore that has become a developed country, no one can overcome the middle-income trap.
Recently, there are always some people who clamor for the rise of Southeast Asia's manufacturing industry, which will surely replace China, Huaxia pills, and large-scale migration of manufacturing industry to Southeast Asia, etc.
These people must have not read the history of Asian industrial development, so they don’t know that before the reform, the Philippines, Thailand, Malay, and Indonesia were known as the four Asian tigers, and were rising stars in the global manufacturing industry.
How did China's manufacturing industry come about?
It was stolen from the Four Little Tigers!
The so-called Southeast Asia grabs China's manufacturing industry, this premise does not exist at all, because China and Southeast Asia had already competed with each other decades ago, and almost snatched away their manufacturing industry. Now, if you tell others that the Philippines once had developed industries and was once the main manufacturing base in the world.
No one would believe this. Everyone would just roll their eyes at you and think, isn’t the Philippines a banana plant? It’s a developed industry? Are you dreaming?
This is true. The Philippines' ancestors were also rich. Taking advantage of the time when China was napping, they became one of the four Asian tigers. However, the good times did not last long. China changed its opening and defeated its opponents one by one. From then on, no one remembered that the Philippines was once the second largest TV manufacturing base in the world and the largest audio manufacturing base in the world.
What?
Will the Philippines build TVs?
The people who didn't know the truth looked confused.
In short, Luo Jia’s big cake was not only for Malaysia, but also for Indonesia next door.
Human beings have never been worried about the amount but the unevenness. Seeing that the next door is going to be prosperous and following the big brother of China, Indonesia next door is definitely jealous.
As long as Indonesia is jealous, it is easy to deal with. Any problem that can be solved with money in the world is not a problem.
After finishing his trip to Malay, Luo Jia rushed to Weigu Island without stopping to start negotiations with the Indonesian authorities.
Chapter completed!
