The German Aerospace missile launch base was in a mess.
The main launch base was destroyed, and so was the sub-base. All the aerospace research projects were put on hold!
They suffered heavy losses!
The power of a rocket explosion was not inferior to any intercontinental missile…
In the main control room, all the German engineers looked dejected.
Du Lei, the deputy director of NASA, stood there, feeling ashamed. The boastful words from before still rang in his ears. He boasted that he had six satellites in the sky, but in the end, he couldn't even push three satellites out.
Andreas, the chief engineer of the German aerospace company, walked up to Durer and threw the rocket launcher contract on the console.
"Mr. Du Lei, what about your promise?”Andreas stared at Du Lei with his blue eyes, full of anger.
" Well, everything has flaws. Because of flaws, there is room for improvement..." Du Lei started to decline. His face and attitude were completely different from before.
"Mr. Du Lei!" After Du Lei shut up, Andreas continued,""We've been working with China for three years. In these three years, we've launched six launch vehicles and transported five satellites each time. There have never been any mistakes or accidents.”
Du Lei opened his mouth to explain, but Andreas didn't give him a chance to speak. He continued,"" This time, Germany chose to terminate the contract with China, which is something I strongly object to. I know that China's rocket propulsion technology is the most advanced, but those idiots from the aerospace budget department believed your nonsense and tried to save costs..."
"That's right! Using the American ballistic catapult could save one billion dollars, which was enough to develop a satellite, but they never thought it would fail! The continuous successful launch made everyone lose themselves! At the same time! Everyone had also forgotten that the rocket was able to successfully take off because of China's technical support!”
Andreas had always been an advocate of scientific cooperation with China, but he was not the only one who had the final say in the space agency. In the end, the vote was to choose NASA's rocket catapult over China's catapult. The reason was simple. The US 'rocket catapult only cost two billion USD, while China's rocket catapult cost three billion USD. It was a whole one billion more…
……
"Mr. Du Lei, according to the contract, you have to bear 15% of the responsibility for this accident. That is to say, you have to pay 1.5 billion USD as compensation for the 10 billion USD investment…"
Du Lei was furious after hearing the words of the chief engineer of the German aerospace company.
"I'm very sorry about this accident, but I don't think it's a problem with our country's technology. Sir, you should check your rocket…Let's go!”
Du Lei waved his hand and left the German control room with several NASA engineers behind him without looking back. Asking him to compensate for the losses of the German Space Agency was a fool's dream!
After Du Lei left, everyone in the German control room looked at each other, dumbfounded. No one made a sound for a long time, as if they had lost their parents.
When China and the United States voted, most people chose the cheaper American technology.
However, they never expected that the rocket launch mission, which had been going smoothly, would encounter such a huge setback!
The satellite that was launched this time was the result of half a year's hard work and 10 billion US dollars.
However, with two earthquake-like explosions, 10 billion USD disappeared, and half a year of hard work went down the drain…
If they had known that American technology was so unreliable, they would never have stopped their technical cooperation with China.
This time, there was no need for Andreas to say anything more. Having learned his lesson, the German Aerospace Administration sent a special person to China with the new order contract.
……
In China, the members of the operations team were pondering over Chief Engineer Ye's words. Chief Engineer Ye told them that if the other party came again, they would rip them off ruthlessly and increase the order from 3 billion USD to 4 billion USD…
They had already given up on working with Huaxia Base. Could they still come back?
However, most of the engineers still trusted Ye Tian. They had already drafted a more stringent contract for the German Space Agency and increased the technical support fee to four billion USD.
No one could forget what Chief Engineer Ye said before he left…
He wanted them to wave their money and kneel down to beg for mercy!
These words were really domineering. Chief Engineer Ye was always so inspiring. Initially, everyone in the operations team and technical team was a little dejected. However, Ye Tianjian's simple words made them feel enthusiastic. The disappointment of losing orders completely dissipated!
Everyone once again threw themselves into the battle with their blood boiling. There was no longer any burden in their hearts!
This was their backbone, the backbone of the National Space Administration…
As long as Chief Engineer Ye was around, it would be sunny!
No matter how fierce the wind and rain outside were, he was like a towering mountain standing here, stabilizing the wind and rain!
……
Just as the operations team was busy, a call came from Germany.
The people from the German Aerospace Administration were already on their way. They hoped to re-sign the technical support agreement with China, which was the order for the rocket launcher…
The operations team was immediately reassured.
Chief Engineer Ye's predictions were godly!
The other party actually came to renew the contract.
At this moment, they remembered what Chief Engineer Ye had said before he left. He had asked them to kneel and beg for mercy.
The head of the operations team said to the people from the German Aerospace Administration on the phone,""I'm sorry, you don't have to use Huaxia Base anymore. We don't have time to receive you.”
The people in the German Aerospace Administration heard it clearly!
The China Aerospace Administration actually rejected them.
She rejected him mercilessly…
The chief engineer of the German Aerospace Administration gritted his teeth and said,""Prepare to bleed!"
After saying this, he left without looking back.
He was a scientist in charge of research and development, not a negotiator. He would let the directors who wanted to save money handle these things. He was only responsible for developing rockets and satellites!
The German Aerospace Administration was mercilessly rejected by the China Space Administration…
However, they had no choice. Even if they were rejected, they could only bite the bullet and go to the China Aerospace Administration!
No matter what, they had to renew the contract!
They needed the China Space Administration's rocket launchers, they needed China's aerospace technology…
Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough funds to withstand failure. A failure would cost them ten billion dollars and half a year's worth of hard work from more than 100 aerospace scientists…
They couldn't afford such a loss!
Therefore, no matter what kind of harsh treaty China proposed, they could only listen to it!
He had to swallow the bitter fruit that he had planted even if he cried!
