Chapter 994: Umbrella

Xiongzi Technology is not quite the same as Lazy God Technology.

Chen Haocong and the others are not too repulsed by all kinds of reporters, so when the rocket was launched this time, reporters from all countries were uninvited.

Before the launch, most of them were on their respective ships, shooting from a distance because there was not enough space in the command room or the view was not very good.

But at this time, an unknown number of reporters gathered around, taking pictures of the huge rocket.

The concept of recoverable rockets is not new.

Ma Yilong's rocket is recyclable as a selling point.

During a rocket launch, the rocket's fuel accounts for less than one percent of the cost, leaving most of the rest of the cost on the rocket itself.

The extremely expensive engine, the high price, the flight control system that will be scrapped after one use, and the rocket body that is extremely demanding and difficult to produce and process, but it is only a consumable.

These are the costs of the rocket.

But this cost, in fact, could have been avoided.

Just recover the rocket after the rocket is launched.

But... it's only theoretically possible.

Because the rocket's instantaneous explosive power and thrust are too great.

After a few minutes of explosion and super-severe environmental tests, the rocket itself is covered with various hidden injuries. The cost of overhaul and repair is even higher than remanufacturing, and its reliability cannot be guaranteed.

Until Xiongzi Technology designed the "big head doll" rocket in front of us.

Thanks to the excellent performance of the metal hydride alloy, it can be used repeatedly like the engine of a fighter jet, and it needs to be overhauled after running for several hours or tens of hours.

The rocket launch is usually a few minutes, and it has been completed in more than ten minutes.

Under this technology, the rocket's launch cost is really only fuel costs and inexpensive depreciation costs.

Most of the reporters who came to interview at this time had some professional knowledge.

Even for reporters without professional knowledge, there is a huge think tank or expert advisory group behind them.

During the launch, Xiongzi Technology showed amazing rocket thrust. During the launch process, it crossed several different orbits very freely and flew far beyond the range of ordinary rockets.

At that time, they thought that Xiongzi Technology might have failed to launch.

Now it seems that it is of course not a launch failure, but a show of skill.

But the shock of the twists and turns to them was far less shocking than the automatic recovery of the "big-headed doll" after launch.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.

Across multiple orbits, as long as the timing of launch is identified and the angle of orbit change is calculated, many rockets can actually do it.

But... can the fuel be recovered after flying thousands of kilometers?

There is only one rocket that can do it!

Big head doll number!

I don't know how many rocket experts looked up at this huge rocket. Their eyes didn't look like they were looking at a rocket that had just been recovered, but they were looking at an angel descending from heaven.

If you think of the shape of this big head doll, and the durex advertisement shown above...

Maybe someone will call the police and arrest these drooling rocket scientists as psychopaths.

Chen Wei also left the command room, walked out, and stared at the rocket in front of him dumbfounded.

This thing was made by his son Chen Haocong?

It's really great and amazing—if the rocket didn't have the ambiguous fuchsia light and shadows and constantly changing durex advertisements...

Chen Haocong gave them more than ten minutes to indulge in the charm of durex.

Then he clapped his hands, waking up the reporters who were frantically fighting for the camera and the rocket experts who were so unafraid of the heat that they were almost lying on top of the rocket.

"Okay, everyone, don't forget, today's boss is not the rocket!"

No one paid him any attention.

Only Cui Weisi saw that Chen Wei and the others had left the command room, sneaked out from the corner where they were hiding, entered the command room again, and said to the staff: "Now that everyone is gone, quickly activate the second advertisement... Well……"

The staff just entered the code, looked up, and saw Travis was stuck around the neck by a big hand again.

"Revoke the code." Chen Wei said with a grimace.

The staff silently revoked the code.

In the distant and empty universe, when everyone's attention is focused on this recoverable rocket.

A lonely satellite in space slowly lit up, and a line of words was displayed on it: "FunFactory, please you, please me..."

Then, less than five seconds after it came on, it gradually went out again, turning into a thick long stick across the universe.

This may be the loneliest advertisement in history, perhaps, only the aliens on the UFO flying by saw it...

"You can't do this, we have already signed an agreement, advertising can't..." Travis struggled in vain, but how could he be Chen Wei's opponent.

There was a "plop", water splashed everywhere, and one person was missing on the platform, but no one cared.

Chen Wei clapped his hands and saw that Travis was swimming towards a nearby ship, so he nodded in relief, clapped his hands, turned and walked back to the command room.

Li Huiyun followed up quietly and said, "Uncle, Brother Cong is really amazing!"

"Hmm." Chen Wei showed a proud smile, this is his son!

"This thing flies out, but it can also fly back, it's amazing!" Li Huiyun said again.

"yes."

"Uncle, what is durex?"

"...Shut up, kid, don't ask so many questions!"

"oh……"

...

When everyone finally withdrew their attention from the recoverable rocket, Chen Haocong ordered: "Get ready, activate the satellite 'parasol'!"

The operator entered a series of codes, and then on the other side of the earth, the huge satellite thousands of kilometers away from the earth finally started.

The picture taken by the companion star is exceptionally stable and clear. On the bright silver shell reflecting the sun's rays, there are black ripples flowing.

Then the ripples gradually split, and the entire moon began to change shape.

First, the shell opened along the lines, and then from the interior of the satellite, more metal blocks appeared, splicing together with the satellite shell.

In just a few seconds, from the outside, the diameter of the entire satellite almost doubled.

Then one side of the satellite, which looks like a ball, sticks out.

This process is really like pulling out the handle of an umbrella.

After a few seconds, the ball in front slowly expanded.

Then the shank connecting the ball and the rear split apart, turning into three fan-like objects.

Slowly flatten the silver ball in front and stretch it out.

It seems to be really opening an umbrella.

"Oh, I see, this is a solar panel!" Someone suddenly realized.
