The celebration banquet in the evening was not grand, because the highest grade place in Jiuquan Aviation Center was just a small stove in the cafeteria.
The dishes were average, but there was a lot of good wine stored on the Peregrine Falcon next to it.
Like the 1982 Lafite that was bought from the auction, it was only fit to lie in the storage box.
Ye Qing usually didn't like to drink. Compared to red wine and whiskey, the two major foreign wines, Ye Qing felt that the white wine series, especially the older ones, was often more tasty.
The two sisters, Su Bing and Su Yu, brought two small jars of amber wine in blue and white porcelain bottles.
Commander-in-chief Chen Fangli and a group of technical staff almost stared straight at them.
Of course, their attention was not on the two sisters, but on the two bottles of wine that they put on the table and opened the mud seal.
Most people, including Commander-in-chief Chen Fangli, sniffed greedily.
Just the blue and white porcelain bottle that contained the wine was extraordinary at first glance. There were two different landscape paintings on it, which were obviously hand-painted by famous masters. As soon as the mud seal was opened, an intoxicating and mellow wine fragrance rippled back and forth in the room.
This wine fragrance was different from any brand of white wine that Commander-in-chief Chen Fangli was familiar with. It seemed to have a taste of history.
"Ah ~ Mr. Ye, this is …"
Seeing the surprised eyes of a group of people, Ye Qing smiled slightly proudly. "It's not a great wine, but it has a long history."
"Previously, our Monster Industries was building Banshee Airport. There was an airport built not far from the wine town. In order to thank us, the person in charge of the local winery specially sent a few jars of old wine over. He said that not long ago, when they expanded the factory, they accidentally dug out a small wine cellar and piled a lot of old wine in it. "
"The wine master in the factory thought that this batch of wine came from more than forty years ago. They simply took out all of this batch of wine and blended it with the peony wine that had been stored in the cellar for twenty years. It was specially used as a gift."
"I know. It has hundreds of years of history." Commander-in-chief Chen Fangli was intoxicated by the mellow wine fragrance and couldn't extricate himself. He kept sniffing and sighed. "More than forty years ago, that was also a special day."
The others at the table were all ready to move. They wanted to share a cup, but they also wanted to take out their phones to take pictures and post them on their WeChat Moments.
The two sisters, Su Bing and Su Yu, acted as waiters and poured everyone a cup.
Even Yun Shi, who hardly drank, held the cup and kept inhaling.
"Come! To our success, cheers!" Ye Qing took the lead and raised his glass. As the amber wine entered his mouth, he felt as if his throat was being pulled by a piece of silky silk. He didn't feel the spiciness, but rather an indescribable long, soft, and rich fragrance.
Then, there was a series of smacking sounds, as if they had eaten a celestial fruit.
In such a cheerful and joyful atmosphere, even drinking a bottle of Niulanshan that cost more than ten yuan would make one feel exceptionally sweet.
What's more, this kind of old cellar collection that couldn't be bought with money?
After downing three glasses of wine in a row, Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli's face was flushed red. He squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Ye, in the future, as long as you produce a finished product for Skynet 2, 3, 4, and so on, we will immediately arrange a launch mission for you."
"We will also pick the most suitable position for the frequency band and orbit location."
Ye Qing toasted him again, with the same intoxication on his face. "Then I would like to thank Commander Chen first, and of course, I would like to thank everyone present."
"By the way, Commander Chen, I have a question to ask."
"Do you think that our Monster Industries, if we want to build our own spacecraft, such as a product similar to the Snowstorm, will the Aerospace Department allow it?"
Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli didn't expect this question at all. If it was asked by an ordinary company, he would give the other party a whimsical label of "Heart higher than the sky, life thinner than paper" in his heart.
What is a spacecraft?
It is one of the most cutting-edge industrial technologies of mankind, and it is an "overwhelming" industrial product that only a few countries can master so far.
A country that can independently launch a spacecraft means that it has the ability to launch satellites and the ability to launch strategic missiles.
With this ability, beating countries that like to jump around is the crushing of a shotgun against a spear.
Even the country has to spend a lot of effort to play with this kind of product, let alone a small company?
But if it is Monster Industries …
"It's feasible." Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli nodded.
"Isn't there a SpaceX company in the United States? Recently, they have been building their reputation in the aerospace industry."
"This company is said to be a private company, but in fact, it is their NASA that is providing technical support behind it."
"However, no matter where their technology comes from, this company is a strong competitive threat to our aerospace industry. Therefore, two years ago, our Aerospace Department also opened commercial aerospace development services to the public. "
"In the capital, there is a Blue Arrow Space Technology Company that is engaged in the research of low-orbit small Rocket."
Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli recalled for a moment and continued, "They seem to be launching a [Blue Arrow II] at the end of this year. If it succeeds, this will be the best news for our aerospace industry this year."
"In fact, the Aerospace Department is very supportive of private companies because once a private company succeeds, for Hua Xia, it will have an additional backup ability to quickly repair the satellite network."
"Our Hua Xia Airlines will also greatly increase our competitiveness to the outside world."
Ye Qing clinked glasses with him again. Ye Qing knew about the Blue Arrow Space Company. When they decided to enter the aerospace industry, the company had done research on this market.
However, what Monster Industries wanted to do was much more high-end than the small, low-orbit Blue Arrow II.
It was also much more high-end than any country's aerospace aircraft in the world.
Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli avoided talking about the topic of "Snowstorm" that Ye Qing had raised. He simply felt that it was impossible for Monster Industries to come up with such a thing. After all, even the United States had suffered a setback with the space shuttle.
He wanted to use the example of the Blue Arrow Space to tell Ye Qing that there would be no resistance for private companies to enter this space.
However, they could not bite off more than they could chew. It was best to learn from the Blue Arrow Space first and study it step by step from the small, low-orbit Rocket.
Or maybe Chen Fangli just felt that Ye Qing was suddenly interested in aerospace because of the successful launch of the satellite, so he just asked casually.
…
The Peregrine Falcon took off at nine o 'clock after the banquet.
When they were sending them off, Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli held Ye Qing's hands and praised the satellite that they had sent up during the day.
He kept saying that if Monster Industries entered the satellite manufacturing industry, it would be very promising.
Ye Qing said that when they returned, they would first send the Skynet satellites into the sky one by one. If the Skynet satellites worked well, they could really consider entering the satellite manufacturing industry.
Commander-in-Chief Chen Fangli patted his chest and said that he would give tasks to the supporting factories under the space center the next day. They would use the fastest time to produce the remaining five Long Three Rocket Rocket.
