Chapter 512

After leaving the CMSX space base, Ding Yang met Robert Bigelow in the VIP waiting room of the company headquarters.

He did not have the slightest hesitation. He didn't even call out when he met. He said straight to the point: "yes, sir. Our boss is busy and I'm afraid we can't meet you according to the appointment plan. "

"What? When is Mr. available? " The 82 year old Bigelow was not calm when he heard Ding Yang's answer. He couldn't help asking.

Although he is not young, he still has a long life due to the improvement of his body caused by the "replication device" produced by matrix technology. This time, he did not hesitate to travel across the ocean to come here in order to promote a cooperation. If he can successfully receive an order from CMSX company, the transaction amount will definitely exceed the total business volume of the company.

That's more than 5000 tons of Super Space Station! Like thousands of tons of glittering gold!

"The last time our boss had free time was on a weekend after a month and a half, or during a private break." Ding Yang replied.

"What?" Old Bigelow's heart was cold after forty or fifty days. He really wanted to scold the other party. He was not polite. The scheduled meeting time was no longer. I had an old bone to talk about cooperation with you, a young man. It was intolerable that you even stood me up. However, he could not bear it any more. It meant that a dream like cooperation with a sky high price would come to an end, and we had to bear it for us dollars.

Once again, tolerance pays off.

Ding added: "however, our boss said that if you would like to move to the CMSX headquarters, we would meet immediately. Our boss is in the CMSX headquarters at the moment."

"Of course! Of course Old Bigelow said happily without hesitation.

Half an hour later, Ding Yang took Robert Bigelow to the command center of the launch tower of the space base in Ren Hong's car. Bigelow, who first observed the layout of the CMSX space base, looked around curiously. The huge launch tower immediately attracted his attention, and he found that the car was driving in the direction of the launch tower.

After a while, the majestic posture of the "arc hawk-1" came into the eyes of old Bigelow. The nose of the aircraft was aimed at the launch tower with concave curved surface and semi parabola shape. Although old Bigelow was born as a hotel owner, he was engaged in the field of aerospace for many years. When he saw this scene, was the mysterious space shuttle launched from that curved orbit?

No need for rocket boosters?

"Er, Mr. Ding, I'd like to ask you that we are..." Bigelow couldn't help but ask, guessing 10000 times is better than a word from the informed.

Ding Yang in the driver's seat gave a brief reply: "that's the" arc hawk-1 "air transport plane, and it's about to conduct its first flight in the sky. It's because of this that our boss conflicts with your appointment."

The "arc Eagle No. 1" which is about to be tested is not a first-class secret. Since the boss wants to bring him to the scene, it is enough to explain the problem. Ding Yang has nothing to hide.

"Can this space shuttle be launched without rocket fuel? But through the Orbiter on that big building? " Bigelow asked after he knew the answer.

"It should be, but I'm not a professional, and I'm not sure about the details. The test flight time will start soon. No accident, sir. I should be able to witness the flight test with his own eyes." Ding Yang replied.

Bigelow showed a happy look: "I didn't expect to be able to get such an unexpected surprise, it's a great honor! I sincerely wish this flight test mission a complete success

Shortly after arriving at the CMSX space base, Ding Yang took Robert Bigelow to the control center. Ren Hong saw Ding Yang appear here with a foreigner. After a few words with the project leader, he headed for Bigelow.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ren!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Robert."

After the two met, they shook hands politely and made a few humble remarks. The age gap between the two sides was extremely large. Bigelow, born in 1945, was 82 years old, three times as much as Ren Hong. But even so, he also has enough respect for the young man in front of him, regardless of his qualifications. Especially for the westerners, they will always put your ability and status first in the "measuring scale", and then others.

As for the young Ren Hong, he only showed his due politeness. In addition, he didn't mix in extra emotional factors.

"This time I venture to disturb you. I hope Mr. Ren duohaihan." Old Bigelow said with a smile.

"No problem, it's my fault. No, it's my assistant's pot. He arranged the time. But considering his long time with me and his excellent ability, I decided not to fire him Ren Honglang said with a smile that his humorous words made the atmosphere lively. As for the side of Ding Yang's face unconsciously slightly twitch, the heart clearly is you want to temporarily and persistently watch the test flight, and finally the pot is still thrown on the assistant."Mr. Robert, this way, please!" Ren Hong said with a smile that they came to an observation room with transparent glass in front of them. They could see the whole open runway and launch tower at a glance.

"I heard that your company is going to test fly the space shuttle soon?" Bigelow watched the air transport planes and a group of staff on the runway.

"Not bad!" Ren Hong nodded and then asked, "Mr. Robert, before the test flight has begun, let's talk about business. What do you want to do to meet me this time?"

When it comes to business, Bigelow immediately takes his eyes back from the window, and then falls on Ren Hong. He says, "since your company's CMSX announced its ambitious space exploration plan, among which the" Tiangong ring orbit star harbor "mentioned in your recently announced" twin project ", I think Bigelow Aerospace Company and your CMSX company can For this project to carry out an in-depth cooperation. "

"I'd like to hear more about it!" Ren Hong said that he had a general understanding of Bigelow Aerospace Company in advance. He also guessed the purpose of the other party's coming. No accident, this time, old Bigelow went to battle in person, which should be to sell his "inflatable capsule" to CMSX.

As expected, Bigelow quickly replied: "your company's ambition to build the largest interstellar space station in the history of mankind, with a volume of more than 5000 kilotons, is an exciting number, and it should also be an unimaginable cost investment. However, the "beam inflatable capsule" produced by Bigelow Aerospace Company, which I founded, can greatly reduce the cost of "Tiangong". Some replenishment or experimental modules can completely replace conventional space capsules with inflatable ones. The cost of "beam inflatable capsule" is less than 20 million US dollars, which is the best role to replace these experimental modules or replenishment modules ”
