Today I skipped work and stayed at home to pretend to be sick, not facing Principal Gregorian who was blocking the students at the door of his office.

He helped Han Xuan and Elon Musk pour two cups of coffee, and sat down with the cup himself, reached out to Han Xuan and introduced: "This is a doctoral student at Stanford University, Elon Musk.

When Wharton came to communicate two years ago, I met him once. I believe you should have many common topics."

Han Xuan has now snatched Musk's paypal, with a smile in his eyes, pretending not to know him, shook hands with Musk, and asked, "Hello, is it also for communication this time when I come to Brown University?"

"No, I'm here to find you today.

This is a gift I made with a piece of rocket wreck, and I hope you like it.

It took me a long time to ask my uncle who was working in the steel mill to help me melt it and make it what it is now.”

Elon Musk handed him the prepared Rocket model.

Han Xuan had seen this strange gift for a long time, and then he could easily guess Musk's intention to find his own. His smile became more obvious and he said, "Thank you, I like this, it's cool.

Sorry, what did you come to me for? We haven’t seen each other before?"

A top student and genius like Elon Musk must be a freak in the eyes of his classmates, and he is independent of the communication circle.

In addition, his parents divorced since childhood and had just left school not long ago, so he was not good at socializing.

Even though Musk has repeated his creativity to those rich people many times, he is still a little embarrassed to face Han Xuan now.

Hearing Han Xuan’s inquiry, he took a deep breath and said slowly: “Han, I’m here this time to do a business with you.

I think you will be interested in it. The business I want to discuss is the Rockets in your hand!

Let’s work together to create a rocket that can truly fly into space!”

If I go to China on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to say this, others will definitely think that my brain is broken.

Rockets should be invented and produced by the state. How can a person be involved in such an important industry?

In the United States, most important military industries such as missiles, fighter jets, satellites, rockets, tanks are developed and manufactured by private companies such as Lockheed Martin and Thor. The US Department of Defense purchases them, so it is not a fantasy.

Principal Gregorian, who was sitting next to him, had a surprising expression, but was not very shocked.

The Atlantis space shuttle, which will be launched on June 27 this year, will be docked with Russia's Mir orbital space station for the first time, and Brown University has also participated in the project.

Some of the engineering equipment on the Atlantis space shuttle was completed by students and teachers from Brown University, and he had some understanding of this project.

He asked curiously, "It takes a lot of technology to build a rocket. Are you sure you can complete it?"

Have been doing well lately, Elon.

Which company do you work for now? Lockheed Martin? General Dynamics? Boeing?”

“…none of them.”

Elon Musk is extremely embarrassed. Will he say that he only has one heart to build a rocket and send it to space?

No matter how stupid a person is, he will not do that.

He used the trick of cheating other wealthy people and told Han Xuan: "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were thousands of experts specializing in aerospace research in Russia and Ukraine, and there were no job opportunities yet.

We can poach those people, work for our company, and redevelop a new rocket.

As of now, Russia is the highest-level rocket engine technology, not the United States.

According to the information I have recently found, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were still a batch of rocket engines, such as the nk-33 and nk-34 rocket engines of the Kuznetsov Design Bureau of Russia.

The number of those intact engines is more than 80. Although they are all old things from more than ten years ago, they are more advanced than today's rocket engines!

The rd-180 rocket engine developed by the power machinery research and production body has not been fully designed yet, but I heard that it can be completed with an investment of about 100 million US dollars. This is a good opportunity to participate, and we can cooperate with Russia.

The nk-33 and nk-43 engines use liquid oxygen and kerosene, which will not cause pollution to the environment. It is currently the most ideal launch vehicle propulsion system.

If we could find a way to reuse, since this engine does not require maintenance and can be reused four to five times, this would greatly reduce the huge cost of launching a rocket.

Governments and private individuals who want to launch satellites will definitely hand us a lot of orders!

Regarding the manufacturing of rockets, we can go to Ukraine to dig experts from the Southern Missile Design Bureau. Khrushchev braged that manufacturing missiles is as simple as processing sausages because of this Southern Missile Design Bureau.

Their rocket manufacturing technology is at the top of the world, and you already have the Rolls-Royce Engine Manufacturing Company, which has a pretty good mid-thrust engine.

If you have high-thrust engine manufacturing technology, you will have a chance to monopolize the entire aerospace engine market. You should be able to imagine how big its market size is, right?

This will bring you endless money!

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia inherited 70% of the Soviet Union's strength, and Ukraine inherited 30% of the industrial heritage. Although it is not much, it is extremely critical, especially the missile and aerospace industries.

Now we can basically sell anything there, and we even lost nuclear weapons in the past few years. If we find a way to poach people in Russia and Ukraine, we have a very good chance of creating rockets.

If you have to take the initiative to get people and technology, maybe in the future, Russia and the United States will have to buy rockets to shoot their satellites into the sky!”

I have to say that Elon Musk's words had the power to seduce people. As he thought about it according to his ideas, Han Xuan immediately laughed.

He doesn't care about money now. Anyway, if he develops according to the current scale of the industry, no one will have money in him after another ten or twenty years.

The most important thing is that he is interested. He is very interested in the Rockets now.

He took off his shoes regardless of his image, sat cross-legged on the sofa and asked Musk, "It's also troublesome to actually produce them with just information and technology.

The most important thing is talent. Going to Russia and Ukraine to poach people is not as easy as you think, and it requires countless funds.

But it’s not impossible. The problems that money can solve are not a problem for me.

Your idea is very interesting. Are you going to conquer the stars and seas? I'm a little moved..." (To be continued.)
