Chapter 508

Name:Silicon Valley Author:Baisha
The civil strife in Madagascar has aroused widespread concern in the world, while the United States, which has always boasted of being the "World Police", has no intention of meddling in Madagascar's affairs. Madagascar is one of the least developed countries in the world. Its GDP in one year is less than 6 billion US dollars, and it has not found a large amount of oil, natural gas and other energy for the time being. Therefore, it is not worth the attention of the United States. The United States is now preoccupied with how to occupy Iraq.

The U.N. investigation team conducted a second surprise investigation into Iraq, but still did not find any signs of large-scale nuclear and biological weapons development. However, the U.S. government also expressed disbelief and insisted that the United Nations send another investigation team into Iraq to conduct a more detailed investigation. But in fact, the United States is now ready to join forces with Britain, France, Germany, Australia and other countries to attack Iraq and share oil wealth, just as the eight countries invaded China.

In the spring and Autumn Annals of Zuo Zhuan, it is written that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty". As a major oil producing country, how can the European and American countries have no idea about Iraq?

At this moment, the situation in Madagascar seems very chaotic, but in fact, it is still under Henry's control. What the Blackwater members are doing now is to remove the diehard resistance elements of the Malagasy government and the remaining army. If these people are not killed, they may become terrorists in the future, and they will incite others to oppose Henry. At the same time, Blackwater will brainwash those who do not respect Henry highly, so as to pave the way for Henry to enter Madagascar and establish a country of "monarchy, monarchy, dictatorship, political system" (without symbols, it will be dropped harmoniously).

In the "monarch ~ monarch ~ system ~ government ~ system", the ruler monarch (often called the king or emperor) has all the power to rule the country and civil liberties, in short, that is "monarchy is supreme", the king can enjoy the supreme rights! Of course, if there is no monarchy or dictatorship in the world, Henry's terror will arouse strong opposition from Malagasy people. However, at present, there are still monarchy, dictatorship and economic development is also very good. The two most famous countries are Oman and Saudi Arabia, especially Saudi Arabia. It is also one of the richest countries in the world, with strong strength. The annual military expenditure alone is tens of billions of dollars, ranking fourth in the world.

There are ready-made examples, which are naturally easier to accept.

On the 10th day after the outbreak of civil strife in Madagascar, the original government of Madagascar was actually dead in name, and the leaders of the political parties and the army were all slaughtered. However, Henry could not immediately enter Madagascar and establish his own empire. He was waiting for a good time when the United States launched the war in Iraq. In addition, he would like to explore the words of other countries, such as Britain, China, Australia, Russia... To see that they seem willing to support their own founding. We should know that the establishment of a country is not a trivial matter. Naturally, we need to be cautious. We should not act too hastily!

……

In the twinkling of an eye, on January 15, 2003, SpaceX company will carry out rocket recovery experiment in the Pacific Ocean.

This news has already shocked the whole world, and was even more sensational than the civil strife in Madagascar. Madagascar is just a humble poor country. Even most people don't know where the country is. In people's view, it broke out a civil strife, mind my own business, is Madagascar the only country in the world that is at war? SpaceX is different. If the rocket recovery experiment is successful, the cost of human entering the outer sky will be greatly reduced. One day in the future, people will be able to travel to outer space, and even immigrate to the moon and Mars!!!

NASA, ESA, RKA and CNSA sent representatives to SpaceX company to visit the rocket recovery experiment.

This experiment has attracted a lot of attention.

More than a billion people around the world watched the experiment live on television or online video.

At the moment, looking at the endless ocean, a huge marine rocket launch ship is quietly floating on it.

"Do you think SpaceX's rocket recovery experiment will be successful?" A netizen posted on the Internet.

In fact, not only he wants to know the answer, everyone wants to know the answer.

Before long, many netizens began to leave messages.

"I don't know. Maybe it will be successful. SpaceX, after all, is an aerospace giant. Its strength lies there. If it is not sure, how can it carry out rocket launch recovery experiments? "

Many netizens are happy to see the success of SpaceX's rocket recycling experiment. However, experts and professors from all over the world said that it is very difficult to recover rockets. Although SpaceX company is powerful, it is still impossible to succeed. These experts and professors even put forward evidence: if SpaceX company is sure, they will not carry out experiments at sea!

Before the beginning, it has been downplayed. SpaceX is really a big company!

However, I can't help it. There are a lot of people who are interested in SpaceX.

SpaceX company as a private company, but the technical strength of the national space agencies are eclipsed, had to shock people. In addition, SpaceX company has its own production plant, most of the parts are produced by itself, which greatly reduces the cost. The manufacturing costs of rockets, spaceships, space shuttles, satellites, detectors and other products are all the lowest in the world.

From any point of view, SpaceX is the most likely company to lead human beings to outer space in the future. At the gate of the headquarters building of SpaceX company, there is such a sign, which says: "our goal is the star sea!"

There are many countries launching rockets, but none of them can recycle rockets. If SpaceX can succeed, it will create a miracle in the history of space!

It's almost noon, and the time for the launch of the rocket is approaching.

The rocket to be launched this time is a new rocket developed by SpaceX company, Falcon 8, which is also the eighth generation Falcon rocket. Falcon 8 will return to the launch site after the launch mission. From 8 a.m., SpaceX engineers are still doing a comprehensive inspection of Falcon 8 to make sure there are no low-level errors.

12:00 noon on time launch, 11:59:50 am, the countdown began. In the upper right corner of the video screen, a metallic electronic clock suddenly appears. Countless people can't help but silently recite: "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, launch!!"

The rocket's ejector suddenly spurted out a hot and dazzling flame, and Falcon 8 slowly lifted off. At this moment, people began to get nervous and kept looking at it, not daring to blink. Ten minutes later, Falcon 8 dragged a long flame through the atmosphere and entered outer space. Then, it put a satellite on board into a designated orbit, and Falcon 8 began to return. Only Falcon 8's tail began to spurt fire and was slowly adjusting its position. This process took about three minutes in total. Then Falcon 8 flew to earth. When entering the atmosphere, due to friction heat, the temperature is very high, Falcon 8 seems to be on fire.

This is the most dangerous time, Falcon 8 is likely to be unable to withstand high temperature and high pressure, resulting in an explosion!

Reduce friction and pressure, the ejector has stopped ejecting, and back into the rocket, Falcon 8 flying down by gravity.

Five minutes later, Falcon 8 successfully crossed the thick atmosphere and was landing at a high speed.

"Are you going to succeed?" All of them were shocked and excited, and their whole heart was in their throat!

However, a few minutes later, Falcon 8 did not return to the launch platform, but fell to the sea 5000 meters away from the launch platform!

"Lying trough, it's a failure!"

Watching the live audience can not help shaking their heads and sighing.

Henry frowned, because Falcon 8 dropped its chain at the last critical moment. Originally, the last step of Falcon 8's return to earth was to turn on the ejector. Through the reaction force of the jet, the landing position of Falcon 8 could be adjusted, and the speed of Falcon 8 could be slowed down and landed smoothly. However, at the critical moment, the ejector failed to open. Falcon 8 was so fast that it fell into the sea and caused an explosion!

Now, in the observation room, a group of engineers from SpaceX company were dejected one by one. Henry took a deep breath, laughed and said to everyone, "Oh, it's wonderful, isn't it? Our Falcon 8 is about to succeed! "

"But, Mr. Williams, we failed in the end!" Dr. Dick Bart, CEO of SpaceX, sighed.

"Failure is the mother of success. As long as you find out the reason for the failure of this experiment, I believe you will succeed next time, won't you?" Henry patted Dr. Dick Bart on the shoulder and gave him a smile.

Dr. Dick Barthes was very moved. This experiment is different from the past. Henry has high hopes for this experiment, and even has a global live broadcast. If the experiment fails, it will seriously damage the prestige of SpaceX company. Dr. Dick Bart thought Henry would blame him, but he didn't expect Henry to comfort him.

"Yes, Mr. Williams, we are only one step away from success. I firmly believe that we will succeed!" Said Dr. Dick Bart with a firm eye.

Henry nodded gratified, "well, during this period, we also worked hard, first rest for two days, and then improve Falcon 8! Next time, we will use our strength to prove to the world that we can do it! "

"We can do it!!"

It's said that the layman looks at the bustle and the expert looks at the door.

The world's major space agencies were shocked at the moment. They didn't expect SpaceX's rocket recovery experiment to be successful when they came here. Because technically, it's too difficult. Rocket materials, energy and fuel, operating system, etc. are involved in many aspects. At present, there are few space agencies in the world that have the ability to turn the rocket in outer space and fly back to earth, let alone how to recycle the rocket!

But this time, SpaceX almost succeeded. If it is not the last moment, the ejector does not work, otherwise, Falcon 8 has successfully returned to the sea launch platform.

Alan Carr, head of NASA, shook his head and sighed: "SpaceX is so powerful. The rocket recovery technology is so mature. It may take many years for NASA to catch up with it in this respect."

Billy Dulles, head of ESA, looked at Allen Carr and said, "SpaceX is a legendary company. I'm afraid they've been researching rocket recovery technology since they were founded. Otherwise, their rocket recovery technology will not surpass us so much! In terms of our ESA's normal R & D speed, it will not be possible to develop recyclable rockets until at least after 2010! "

"As far as I know, the rocket core team of SpaceX company was dug up from the Soviet Union. To be exact, it should have been dug up from Russia," said Max north, head of RKA of Russian Federal Space Agency

"SpaceX is an American company," said Alan Carr

"Alan Carr, SpaceX is an offshore company registered in the Caymans. It has established many R & D centers all over the world. Therefore, SpaceX should be an international company. It's just that SpaceX's headquarters are in California, USA... "

"But Henry Williams is an American, so SpaceX is an American company!"

In fact, Henry was worried about his identity as an American. Just imagine that a person who wants to be king in Madagascar has the nationality of other countries. Is that appropriate? Well, supporting multiple nationalities is a thing of the past. In fact, this is not the most critical issue. As we all know, the tax system of the United States is a global tax collection system, which means that as long as you are of American nationality, you have to pay taxes wherever you are, even in heaven and earth. If the IRS considers Madagascar as Henry's industry, and then the income of Madagascar is Henry's income, it will be a hole. Henry is determined to break away from American nationality. However, it is absolutely impossible for the U.S. government to let Henry break away from his nationality easily. After all, Henry's huge industry has brought huge tax revenue and influence to the U.S. government.

So, this question is very annoying. Henry thought for a long time, and finally came up with a more appropriate way, first of all, to establish the Williams royal family as a special family institution, which is similar to the family foundation, but different. In the future, the funds will be transferred to the Williams royal family first, and then invested by the Williams royal family to develop Madagascar. Then, the future income naturally belongs to the Williams royal family, not Henry himself. Even if the Williams royal family has to pay taxes, it will be handed over to Madagascar, not the United States.

Companies and the foundations behind them pay taxes. All countries in the world have a consensus: companies or other institutions that make money in their own countries only need to pay taxes to this country. In fact, in addition to the United States, even a citizen's personal income tax only needs to be paid in the country where he works. There is no need to pay a second tax to his own country at all!

(after the outbreak of the war in Iraq, a nation will be established. As for how to build a country, if you have any good suggestions, you can leave a message in the book review.)
