In the lounge next to the training ground of the Crescent Island, soldiers who have just completed live-fire shooting training are taking a shower and taking out their clothes from their compartments.
At this time, everyone noticed that a poster was posted on their compartment.
The poster is a spaceship, a soldier armed with heavy rifles and a heavy armor, and the background is Mars... Isn’t Mars Zhang Feng unclear, anyway, looking at the surface of the bare planet, certainly not the earth.
"Aerospace Defence Force? What is this?" The propaganda was torn off. Zhang Feng used a towel on his shoulder to lick the wet hair, and sat down on the bench to carefully examine the small characters on the poster.
"Maybe, this is the movie that was just released?" The Mexican machine gunner in his team came to the side and brought his face closer. "How did those who posted the advertisement come in, here is the military restricted zone."
"Use your brain to think about it, Jack," a big hand slap on the old Mexican shoulder. The rifleman Liu Duntao grinned. "Since this is a military restricted zone, the advertisement is of course ours."
"The advertisement is posted by me, of course, it is printed by the command." A man in a military uniform walked into the lounge and took away the hat that was left on the locker. "You better pay attention, it is a good thing." ""
After that, the officer of the logistics office turned and left.
Several big soldiers squatted and looked at each other.
"I heard that the Star Ring trade is engaged in interstellar colonial planning. I thought they were talking about playing... Shet, it seems that they are really moving? We, we have the opportunity to change from the Marine Corps to the Star River Marine Corps?"
"Going to outer space combat? It’s so cool!"
"Very good. It’s better to fight against the aliens than to know the aliens who don’t exist."
"Shet, you turned out to be a deserter? I can't listen to it."
"..."
I ignored the teammates' bragging and arrogance, and Zhang Feng carefully read the words on this advertisement.
To be honest, he is not very interested. After all, he is now the captain of the Marine Corps and leads a team of six people. No one knows what the nature of this newly formed air defense force is, and whether it will be taken seriously in the future.
After returning to the dormitory, his roommate came out of the mission and saw the poster he had placed on the table.
"I heard that it was a new force ordered by the headquarters. The salary is very high. After the retirement, the treatment is also good. I have already registered this... the orbital airborne unit. What about you?"
"I?" Zhang Feng squatted and shook his head. "I am going to consider it again."
At the end of January, the salary was S$2,200, which was only a regular first-line soldier. Those with military ranks and command experience will be promoted first. With his rank and resume, it should be no problem to transfer from the Marine Corps to the captain.
The monthly salary of 20,000 SGD is almost twice his current salary.
However, the selection conditions are said to be very demanding. It is said that in addition to the physical examination, gene sequencing is also accepted. In contrast, the physical requirements of applicants are relatively low.
According to the description on the poster, even if you are a nothingness, our **** training will make you a real man.
Do you want to register?
Zhang Feng shook his head, took a form from his drawer, and pulled a pen out of the pen holder.
In short, try it first, but you may not be able to choose it anyway.
Thinking so, he wrote his name on the form and simply filled in his resume. Leaning on the chair stretched out, he put the form aside, ready to go to the cafeteria to eat later, by the way, go to the military office to register.
......
These days, Jiang Chen passed very leisurely.
The Chinese side has not yet researched a result, and Ye Qinghua has not come to him again. Russia does not know what the idea is, Natasha did not mention the space elevator, and no one came to the Kremlin.
Europe is very stable. There are no other moves besides ESA's publication of several papers on space elevators that may be affected by climatic conditions and potential safety hazards. In the quagmire of the economic crisis, they did not have the spare money to develop space resources.
NASA in the United States has called and simply consulted the business situation of the space elevator and the tariffs for the use of the track. Jiang Chen let people throw a brief introduction to them in the past, they sent their people away, and they did not call again when they received the information.
As for the large, medium and small private enterprises that contact the Star Trade, there are so many unclear. The business phone of Star Space Outer Space Track Development Co., Ltd., which is responsible for managing the space elevator business, is almost full in 24 hours. If you put these companies in a row, you can almost go from Coro Island to Silicon Valley!
Among them is spaceX, NASA's Royal Space Exploration Technology Company. The space elevator has completed the first batch of materials transportation from the ground to the synchronous orbit, and the US private space company has been mourning all over the place. First and foremost, SpaceX, the market prospect of the Falcon rocket billions was instantly estimated. After a few days of decline in its market value, it has fallen from 12 billion US dollars to less than 10 billion US dollars, even if it is a big shareholder of Google, it is also very painful.
Because the caller was SpaceX's chairman Elon Musk, the operator of the Star Ring Company transferred the call to Jiang Chen.
After the call was made, the American legend who founded PayPal spoke politely.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. We exchanged business cards at the Silicon Valley High-Creation Conference. I don't know if you remember me?"
"Of course, Mr. Musk." Jiang Chen smiled and joked. "I remember you even if I haven't exchanged business cards. After all, I grew up drinking your chicken soup."
The vampire of the rich country, Musk, is a Ma, a man who doesn’t look like a family. From the trough to the peak of Joe’s helper, the young men and women who are interested in talking about it, the chicken soup in the space, is nothing more than the seasoning package. Although Jiang Chen sneered at the chicken soup of the soul, he was not bombarded by these things when he went to school.
Moreover, he seems to have become a member of the "Chicken Soup Family".
"Unemployed youth who started from scratch." He vaguely remembered that he was stuck in this label in some inspirational talks and in his collar.
Although Musk understood Chinese, he did not understand the stalks that Jiang Chen said. However, he only slightly hesitated, and he ignored this small problem. After all, he called not to gossip, but to have something to talk about.
"I don't know if you have the intention to rent a space elevator track?"
"Xinghuan Trading is willing to provide a service from the departure of the goods to the synchronous track. There is no plan to lease or contract the whole track." Jiang Chen said with a smile, and refused Musk's proposal without any politeness.
For Jiang Chen’s answer, Musk was not depressed, but his eyes flashed a glimmer of joy.
“Oh? It seems that you are also quite optimistic about the prospects for the development of outer space resources?”
"Of course, after all, there will be there in the future." Jiang Chen and Yan Yue said.
"We have a win-win proposal here, don't know if you are not interested?" Musk smiled.
"If it is a project other than the lease track." Jiang Chen once again stressed one sentence.
“Although it’s related to leasing, it’s not a rental track,” Musk shook his head, clearing his throat and saying seriously, “SpacsX hopes to rent the port of the end space station of the space elevator. The price we set will not disappoint you. ”
