My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1050 - 620: Copycat Offender_2

The rocket uses a two-stage configuration, and both its first and second-stage engines utilize the country's first reusable liquid oxygen methane engine developed by Huahang Aerospace Sixth Institute, with comprehensive performance indicators comparable to the "Raptor".

Compared to traditional engines, this engine not only has reusable characteristics but also further reduces operating costs..."

The attractive host passionately records the commentary video, and Cao Guoliang listens closely for a while, nodding with some satisfaction.

Technical information and various public specifications are basically well promoted.

Compared with the flight control system that cannot be demonstrated live, the biggest promotional highlight of this rocket is undoubtedly this new engine.

Based on different fuels, rockets can be divided into solid rockets and liquid rockets.

The current mainstream in space launches is liquid rockets, primarily liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen, liquid oxygen kerosene, and liquid oxygen methane.

In the eyes of most professionals, liquid oxygen methane undoubtedly has huge advantages that the other two fuels cannot match!

It is currently the ideal power fuel for reusable rockets, without exception!

Firstly, because the combustion products of liquid oxygen methane are only water and carbon dioxide, it is environmentally friendly and has considerable propulsion efficiency.

Its theoretical specific impulse is 355 seconds, lower than hydrogen and oxygen but higher than liquid oxygen kerosene.

("Specific impulse": indicates how many seconds of thrust can be generated by a rocket engine consuming 1 kilogram of fuel, which is the primary performance indicator of the rocket engine.)

Secondly, it has less coking during combustion, the pipelines are cleaner after launch, and there is no carbon buildup issue, which makes it very suitable for reuse.

Moreover, it's cheap... extremely cheap!

The raw materials for liquid oxygen methane are abundant and easy to manufacture, and you can even purify it from the natural gas you burn every day at home, with a cost of only 5 yuan per kilogram, which is 1/100th of liquid hydrogen, and less than half of kerosene, known as "cabbage price"!

The most crucial point is that methane is commonly naturally present in celestial bodies, for example, on Mars it can be directly sourced locally for mass preparation.

Also, Titan, Pluto...

For Earth people who are about to enter the deep space exploration stage, these are completely free "fuel stations".

Economical, efficient, easy to maintain, and richly stocked, these characteristics make liquid oxygen methane particularly suitable for large-scale repeated launches, naturally taking the C position in today's business space industry!

Even SpaceX's ambitious next "Starship plan" has chosen liquid oxygen methane as the fuel, and is said to be conducting related research and development.

Looking at it from this point, they are at least already one small step ahead!

Cao Guoliang listened for a while, then remembered why he was here, but after looking around, he did not see Hu Yifei's figure on site.

After asking around, he found Hu Yifei in a blue fitted suit, head down looking at his phone in a nearby temporary rest area.

Beside him, a woman with large wavy curls was gently tidying his hairstyle and attire, seemingly preparing him for shooting.

However, Hu Yifei seemed very focused, letting the woman manipulate him while he kept staring at the phone in his hand.

Cao Guoliang moved a little closer, and finally vaguely heard the sounds coming from the phone...

[...with a 6.21-inch Samsung AMOLED display, equipped with Snapdragon 845 processor, Antutu benchmark score over 300,000...

Dual rear camera DXOMARK score 105 points, supports micro-sculpting beauty features, priced as currently the cheapest Snapdragon 845...

Enhanced the intelligence scene application of the voice assistant "Xiao Ai", while simplifying 76% of system sound effects, adding white noise functionality...

30.3% market share in India, European market growth rate over 999%...]

Uh...

Cao Guoliang's steps paused, a few question marks popped up on his head.

Isn't he shooting a rocket promo? What's the deal with watching phone ads?

"President Hu? President Hu?" After calling twice, Hu Yifei snapped out of his serious studying mode to see Cao Guoliang standing in front of him.

"Oh! Mr. Cao, why are you here?"

"I heard you're here filming a promo, so I came over to see if there's anything you need help with."

Cao Guoliang instinctively scanned Hu Yifei's phone.

"No worries, didn't you send all the key promo content to my email? Rest assured! I've memorized it several times, I won't make mistakes!"

"Haha! That's good!"

"President Hu! It's ready over there, you can go over now!"

At this moment, a journalist-like person ran over and pointed to the filming site not far away.

"Okay! I'm coming right away!" Hu Yifei replied, then turned to Cao Guoliang.

"Mr. Cao, since you're here, let's go together, and feel free to point out any omissions for me."

"Alright!"

...

Soon, with the Ark One standing behind him as the background, the camera focused on the spirited Hu Yifei.

"Hello, space enthusiasts and tech fans! I'm Hu Yifei from Ark Shares. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

If you like the 'Bajie' and 'Bado' series products, you might be familiar with me.

But today we won't talk about AI, we won't talk about cars, let's talk about the main star we're releasing today——Ark One!

The first commercially recoverable rocket independently developed by our company!

In my view, this is not only a technology breakthrough but also an important milestone for Country Hua's space industry from a "national team" to "universal space".

Previously, rocket launch costs were high and non-recoverable, much like "disposable chopsticks", once used they were discarded, severely wasting resources.

As you all know, international giants have long laid out reusable technology, quickly seizing over 80% of the market share.

So how can our commercial space overtake them around the bend?

The answer is our Ark One...

Recoverable, low-cost, high payload capability, turning Country Hua's space industry from "burning money" to "making money"!

Our recoverable design allows the first-stage rocket to land vertically, reusable for over 10 times, reducing single-launch costs by 78% directly!

Simultaneously adopting an all-stainless steel rocket body, ultra-high strength carbon fiber composites, reducing self-weight by 32% while increasing strength by 58%.

We developed the 'lifting combination buffering system', through staged airbags and harpoon buffering mechanism, reduces landing impact force by 89%, allowing the rocket to land as lightly as a feather, letting the steel beast elegantly turn around.

Additionally, our 'Ark One' also features the world's first 'zero-coking carbon-free engine', improving specific impulse by 31%, reducing single maintenance costs by 92%.

Previously for launching one satellite, rocket costs accounted for 74%.

Now we reduce rocket cost proportion to 33%, saving money can be used to make 9 more satellites!

Furthermore, through algorithm optimization and software development, we pioneered the 'smart posture capture system'.

Through dynamically adjusted smart capturing, achieve millimeter-level precision control of rocket landing posture, millisecond-level control error! Theoretical recovery success rate increased to 99.8%!

Safe! Reliable! Plus ultimate cost-performance!

Ark Shares' goal is to ignite the furthest dreams with the cleanest fuel!

Allowing research institutions, commercial companies, and even individuals to afford space exploration.

The ticket to the stars and sea will no longer be expensive!

Yes! We are not building rockets, but constructing an ark to the future!

Dear friends, if you are a satellite company, Ark One allows you to launch more satellites with less money!

If you are a tech enthusiast, Ark One lets you witness Country Hua's 'Black Technology'!

If you are an investor, Ark One is the 'hot topic' most worth paying attention to in 2018!

Ark One, it's not just a rocket, but the beginning of an era.

Country Hua's commercial space, from now on 'reusable'!

Every launch we make is a victory against Earth's gravity!

I believe that an individual's belief in miracles will always be the primary premise for a miracle to occur!

Today, we let this belief become an epic of steel and flame...

Ark One speaks with technology, proves with data.

The future is here, are you... ready?"

Cao Guoliang: "..."

Watching Hu Yifei, who pointed at the camera and struck a stylish pose, Cao Guoliang's face got more and more peculiar.

The tone and spirit were passionate and inspiring, emotions in place, each data and parameter when carefully pondered... it all seemed alright.

But...

Such conversion of complex parameters into perceivable metaphors, raising product functions to the height of human civilization in "grand narrative", quoting and citing extensively using data to enhance resonance, while creating product scarcity through "limited" and "naming rights"...

Hmm... this familiar feeling...

Seems like he's mimicking someone?
