Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2553: Chapter 2391: Didn’t Get to See the Fireworks

Global audience.

Various countries.

Many media reports on this launch, lots of viewers gathering for the spectacle. Most wanted to see not success, but rather a boom - an explosion.

Everyone together watching fireworks.

Then.

Those eating snacks continue eating.

Those clapping continue clapping.

By the way.

They throw in some sarcastic remarks, then switch channels with satisfaction.

In short.

Standpoint determines attitude, there are only a few countries that possess advanced aerospace technology, most have not even achieved industrialization.

Let alone aerospace technology.

Thus.

They love watching fireworks the most.

...

India.

Public opinion is overwhelmingly negative.

"Four years of aerospace technology, can it really be reliable? Giving a free fireworks show? It seems Tang Qing has become too proud, blinded by earlier successes."

"Waiting for the myth to collapse."

"Ha ha!"

"Why make the entire aerospace vehicle so flashy? Wouldn’t a regular cylindrical rocket shape be better? Do they think it’s an airplane?"

"It’s just the exterior that looks good."

"..."

Almost entirely pessimistic. Deeply jealous, unable to compete, as India’s industrialization is still in its infancy, yet private technology from another nation can already reach space.

How to compare?

Moreover.

In early this month, a series of blows from Myanmar left them dizzy. Over four hundred billion dollars in total orders again reddened their eyes.

Then.

The World Organization.

Trillion-dollar loans in Asia Dollars thrown around, various flowers, recognized by countries. If India dared to do the same, the Rupee wouldn’t drop to the point of existential doubt.

Afterwards.

Tang Qing, with a net worth of nine hundred billion dollars, once again remained second in the world.

Indeed.

Still hasn’t surpassed ERV, but this pleases Europe and America, irrelevant to India. They only know India’s richest tycoon can only look up to Tang Qing.

The most helpless of all.

At this moment.

Inserting a TV broadcast about sea gold mining. From last March’s mining to now, a whole year, a total of 750 tons of gold extracted.

Worth over 36 billion dollars.

Confound!

March is only half over, yet they have suffered several blows, now another one comes. Feels like the whole world is moving forward, only India is standing still.

No.

At least there’s Roy City, saving face a bit.

Unfortunately.

That too is the design, management, and construction of Myanmar, from the moment it landed, inevitably labeled Myanmar, at the thought of this.

Oh dear.

That heart!

Hurts!

...

An hour later.

Hundreds of miles away in the Gobi.

"Boom!"

Enormous silver fuselage glides onto a long runway, with the name spaceplane, it naturally possesses certain airplane functionality.

Spaceplane landings are generally of a few types.

Glide.

Vertical.

Airborne.

The first two can be done, but the special airplane to receive such a large craft has not yet been developed. Tang Qing has no plans to develop one.

The first two are sufficient.

First is economical.

Hence.

The primary method is glide landing, vertical power used during the launch stage. Due to the large fuselage, the airport runways here are widened and extended.

Took several years.

Cost billions.

Moreover.

Connected roads to the launch center were built, the entire project, just the fixed facility investment exceeded forty billion RMB, quite costly.

...

Command center.

Hall.

"Wow wow wow!"

"We succeeded."

"..."

Cheers all around. The entire process went without a hitch, successfully entering orbit, deployed an experimental satellite and safely returned.

Similarly.

People from aerospace and related sectors also rejoiced.

After all.

This is also a major advancement in Huaxia’s aerospace industry, why can’t private do it? This is Huaxia’s first spaceplane, as to why Huaxia hasn’t made one?

Matters have priorities.

Moreover.

Learning from United States’ experience is necessary. Over the years, the United States created six spaceplanes, one for testing.

Two exploded.

Remaining three, all retired.

And.

No plans to launch anymore.

Previously.

The main belief was that in space’s environment, many new technological breakthroughs could be achieved, and to compete with the Soviet Union, this consumed huge investments.

Now.

The Soviet Union is gone.

Moreover.

Scientific practice in space hasn’t yielded breakthrough technological discoveries, a spaceplane costs billions of dollars, truly burning money.

Thus.

Last year.

After the final spaceplane mission ended, the United States plans not to launch such things for at least ten to twenty years. Seeing this situation.

Naturally.

Huaxia aerospace’s primary task is to be stable, accumulate, and not recklessly burn money.

...

Watching the cheers around, a familiar feeling strikes.

"How long is the maintenance period?"

"Ten days."

"So fast?" An aerospace expert is surprised.

"Our spaceplane heavily uses modularization design, easy dismantling, easy replacing, greatly reduces maintenance and repair costs."

Tang Qing explained.

Standardization.

Modularization.

Long embedded in Qingyuan Technology’s design philosophy, his obsessive tendency makes him uncomfortable with complexity, must sort things out before satisfied.

Ten days.

Still considered slow.

For a major overhaul, could be done in a day, but afraid of scaring people, causing doubt in safety.

"Impressive, can launch again in ten days, incredible payload, and costs controlled within one billion, truly not easy."

Ten billion.

Still RMB.

With that.

Everyone is amazed, but upon reflection, not too far-fetched. Massive self-developed equipment, and its size naturally smaller than those American planes.

Same standard parts.

Sometimes.

NASA’s purchase price, several times higher than Huaxia’s, commonplace, making the cost gap so large. They want to buy one back.

"Sell it?" Tentatively ask.

"No."

Tang Qing shakes head.

"Currently not selling, need further testing on technology, wait until my detector plan is completed, then consider selling, safety first, isn’t it?"

"Indeed."

...

First launch.

Perfect success, testing base jubilant, Tang Qing announced upon departure to give bonuses this month. Starting from ten thousand, one hundred million gone.

Project staff cheered mightily.

Afterwards.

Busy preparing for next test, this time with a satellite, next with larger items, cargo modules, and all test objectives.

Want to complete.

At least three months, taking a satellite is simplest, others increase in difficulty step by step.

...

The next day.

Experts left, still yearning, in their line, what they love most is the final launch process, as it determines everything.

Effort.

Sweat.

Hard work.

...

One unexpected incident could somewhat render all their work futile, and incur financial losses. They wish to stay for next time.

Unfortunately.

Cannot.

Each has their own work, coming once is already difficult, then can only watch on TV. They eagerly wait for Tang Qing to create another miracle.

...

Global audience.

Various countries.

A large number of masses ready to eat snacks felt disappointed, didn’t get to watch fireworks.
