The first rocket recovery experiment failed because of this reason.

Fortunately, the Black Bat transport plane released its robotic arm in time, otherwise it would have crashed and exploded along with the rocket.

Of course Ed didn't take it seriously. If it weren't for Xia Yang's pressure, he would have directly built a more advanced aviation spacecraft.

"Celebrate after the test is over and let's continue working."

Ed waved his hand, interrupting the applause coldly and majestically.

No one dares to resist Ed's authority. Because of his erudition and research and development capabilities, he has already conquered everyone in Leso.

Everyone quickly sat back down and continued working.

Once the most difficult level is over, the next one will become much easier.

The Black Bat transport plane carried the Titan rocket and flew smoothly back to the launch base, then flew directly to the rocket factory and slowly placed the Titan rocket at the designated location.

After taking over this giant rocket, it can be used again after maintenance and fueling.

So far, the rocket recovery has been completely successful.

The control center instantly fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Some people hugged each other and jumped up and down excitedly, and some female technicians were so excited that they wiped away tears.

You must know that the research and development of rocket recovery technology has been carried out for more than two years, and the amount of money Leso invested during this period is absolutely astronomical.

Fortunately, it finally succeeded today.

They didn't let Boss Xia pay in vain.

Although the current rocket recovery technology can only be used on first-stage rockets, it can only recover first-stage rockets.

But it can also save 50% to 60% of costs.

For example, Musk's Falcon Heavy rocket originally cost 150 million U.S. dollars for one launch. When the rocket recovery technology matures and the first-stage rocket can be successfully recovered, the cost will be reduced to 90 million U.S. dollars.

"Everyone, please work hard for a few more days. When the satellite order for Xinga Island is completed, I will give you a vacation."

Ed was also very happy that the rocket was recovered successfully. At least he could do other things.

Ed's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and the entire command center boiled instantly.

"Long live Mr. Ai... I love you, Mr. Ai..."

…

Maybe we can't wait to send these military reconnaissance satellites into space.

Li Xianchang arrived very quickly and came to Spur the next day.

"Mr. Xia, Laiso's strength is truly well-deserved."

As soon as he entered the office, Li Xianchang gave Xia Yang a thumbs up.

I am extremely impressed by Leso's technical strength.

It was less than a year before the batch of Xinga Island satellites were handed over to Leso, and less than three months after receiving the Sper approval.

The most important thing is that among the satellite orders, in addition to civilian satellites, there are also several military satellites.

For this batch of military satellites, Xinjia Island has put forward a series of stringent requirements, so it will take time to develop them.

But in less than a year, Leso was not only successfully developed, but also manufactured and ready to be sent into space.

The speed was so fast that it was completed half a year ahead of schedule as agreed in the contract.

Of course, Li Xianchang would not suspect that Xia Yang was cheating on him, or pretending to be something inferior.

Because he had already arranged for someone to inspect and accept it, if the satellite that Xia Yang handed over to him failed, it would be leaked once tested.

You can imagine the strong R&D strength of Leso.

"Small means, providing customers with the best quality service is always our pursuit at Leso."

Xia Yang was reserved and polite, and then said apologetically, "Since we have a limited number of rockets and have other launch missions, I would like to ask Minister Li to ask your people to speed up the inspection work and launch as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Li Xianchang agreed wholeheartedly. He was eager to send satellites into space as soon as possible, especially those military satellites.

"Thank you, Minister Li, for your understanding. In addition, I have another good news for you. Since we are going to use new technology to launch rockets this time, the cost of launching your satellites will be lower."

As Li Xianchang watched in disbelief, Xia Yang took the initiative to lower the price.

Because rocket recovery technology has been successfully developed and launch costs have been reduced, it is natural to charge Li Xianchang less money.

It is true that Xia Yang could choose to hide the rocket recycling technology, not tell Li Xianchang or other customers, recycle the rocket, and put all the money saved into his own pocket.

But the problem is that rocket recovery technology cannot be concealed at all. There is no doubt that once this dishonesty and greed are known to customers like Li Xianchang, it goes without saying that these customers will be completely lost and the reputation will be ruined.

Especially when there is competition from Musk, a technology tycoon, he must have been repeatedly kicked in the head by a donkey to do such stupid things.

Therefore, Xia Yang must return the money saved from rocket recycling to customers.

Of course, it is impossible to return all of it. Rocket recovery technology can save 60% of the cost, and he plans to return 20%.

When Musk, the technology tycoon, brings rocket recovery technology to the market.

Adjust according to the situation.

“Mr.

Li Xianchang once again raised a thumbs up at Xia Yang, not asking how much the launch cost has been reduced.

Because Xia Yang is so honest, even if the rocket launch cost is only reduced by 1%, he will be happy.

"Then thank you, Minister Li, for taking care of me."

Xia Yang hurriedly thanked him.

Sure enough, it is better to be a real person, and this will come without repayment.

You must know that satellites have a service life.

Usually the lifespan of satellites is only one to two years, and the longest is no more than ten years.

If you are unlucky and the satellite is flying in space, it will be hit by some satellite fragments or other space junk and it will be scrapped.

Therefore, satellite business is a long-term business, with special emphasis on repeat customers.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on the birth of your child, but it must be very hard to have more children."

Li Xianchang raised his eyebrows at Xia Yang.

After talking about business matters, let’s talk about personal matters.

Xia Yang gave birth to thirteen children in one breath. Naturally, this kind of thing could not be hidden from Li Xianchang.

"Fortunately, there are advantages to having more children. Anyway, I enjoy it."

Xia Yang laughed heartily without blushing.

Li Xianchang laughed along with him, he is a man, there is no need to pretend to be a saint!

"I almost forgot, I still have a congratulatory gift."

With that said, Li Xianchang took out the congratulatory gift from his briefcase.

His gift was a stack of Singapore citizenship documents.

There are exactly thirteen books. Xia Yang's eldest daughter Tang Xueli and Xia Kangle have quite a few, so everyone has a share.

With these citizenship certificates, Tang Xueli, Xia Kangle and others are citizens of Singapore Island.

Singapore is a developed country with generous welfare benefits. Therefore, if you want to immigrate to Singapore, in addition to skilled talent immigration, investment immigration requires an investment of 15 million Singapore dollars.

Converted to Xia coins, that's nearly 80 million.

You can imagine how difficult it is to immigrate to Singapore.

However, for a rich man of Xia Yang's level, no country can ask for him.

In addition to various generous benefits, citizens of Singapore Island also have another advantage, that is, there is no personal tax.

Singapore does not charge personal income tax.

This is also the reason why many wealthy people from Xia Kingdom liked to immigrate to Xinga Island in previous lives.

"Actually, I had a headache for a long time in order to prepare a congratulatory gift for you, a rich man. You don't need anything. I thought about it, but I didn't know what to give. Finally, I decided to give your child citizenship of Singapore Island and wait for them.

It will be easier to travel to Xinga Island when you grow up.”

"Don't dislike it."

Li Xianchang smiled and asked Xia Yang not to dislike the gift as too simple.

How could Xia Yang dislike Xia Yang? The courtesy was light and the intention was heavy. Moreover, Li Xianchang specially sent his child a certificate of citizenship of New Zealand Island. He definitely wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with him and even go further. Naturally, it was even more impossible for him to dislike him.

After all, Xinjia Island is a big customer. It purchased tens of billions of dollars in weapons and equipment in the first wave. The follow-up is definitely worth looking forward to.

"Thank you. I have accepted all the gifts. Maybe when my children grow up, they will choose to settle on Xinga Island."

“What I wish for!”
Chapter completed!
