The U.S. Military Department announced the Starlink project.

The market value of SP Rockets skyrocketed to hundreds of billions of dollars.

But this is just the beginning.

A week later, SP Rocket announced that it had won the Starlink launch contract.

Although SP Rockets did not announce the specific amount of the contract.

But Starlink consists of tens of thousands of satellites, and any fool knows that this launch contract is definitely not small.

As a result, SP Rockets' stock price skyrocketed again. In just two trading days, its market value rose to US$130 million.

Letso also received a Starlink launch contract.

James did not brag. With their energy in the United States, they not only successfully obtained the Starlink launch contract, but also obtained a Starlink satellite manufacturing contract.

A manufacturing contract for 5,000 Starlink satellites is due within three years.

The time is not rushed, but quite ample.

It's just a launch contract, only one thousand.

This is a trick played by the U.S. military.

In order to allow the SP rocket and the Leso rocket to compete in launch speed, the Starlink must be built as soon as possible.

Both companies received the first launch contract.

The number is one thousand Starlink satellites. When all one thousand Starlink satellites are sent into space and the U.S. military department tests and there are no problems, they will get the second contract.

It is conceivable that if the U.S. military department plays such a trick, the two families will definitely fight for their lives to launch.

But no one was happy.

Because it's so profitable.

The current cost of satellites is still relatively high and will not be as cheap as it will be after 2020.

The manufacturing cost of each Starlink satellite is US$3 million.

Now the second-stage rocket of the Giant rocket can also be recycled, and the launch cost has been reduced again. Each launch only costs 50 million US dollars.

The Titan heavy rocket can send fifty Starlink satellites into space in one flight.

The launch cost, plus the manufacturing cost of fifty Starlink satellites.

One launch of the Titan rocket costs 200 million US dollars.

In other words, a launch contract for 1,000 Starlink satellites is worth as much as four billion U.S. dollars.

And Xia Yang plans to manufacture all Starlink satellites on Bay Island, so that the cost will be lower and he can earn at least half of it.

To make money like this, it would be better to launch the Giant rocket ten times a day.

"The SP rocket should not make as much as us. I heard that the Falcon Heavy rocket can only carry forty Starlink satellites, and the launch cost is 20% higher than ours."

After getting the contract, Xia Yang and James came out of the Pentagon in the United States. Everyone was full of joy.

In addition, their opponents made less money than they did, and each of the four James was smiling.

"Only after the first contract is completed can we get the next contract. How about we build two transmission towers to improve the transmission efficiency and grab all the contracts!"

Theodore's suggestion won the hearts of James and others, and they all looked at Xia Yang.

After all, Xia Yang is a professional when it comes to rocket launches, so naturally you listen to him.

However, Xia Yang thought about it and shook his head and refused, "It is not necessary for the time being, because the output of the initial Starlink satellites may not be able to keep up. There are not enough satellites to launch, and it is a waste to build an additional launch tower."

James and others nodded and said no more.

A few random people came to the parking lot and were about to get in their cars.

What a coincidence, I bumped into Stephen and the others.

Stephen and others didn't look very good.

Xia Yang knew the reason, because they did not get a Starlink satellite manufacturing contract, but only a launch contract for a thousand satellites, and could only charge a launch fee.

So the contract amount is much less than them.

The SP rocket has the ability to develop and manufacture satellites, but its output is too small to meet the needs of tens of thousands of Starlink satellites.

Unlike the Leso rocket, it has already provided one-stop services from satellite development and manufacturing to rocket launch.

It also has a complete industrial chain of satellite manufacturing and has many collaborators around the world.

Satellites can be manufactured in batches like sausages.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the United States to hand over the order for 5,000 Starlink satellites to Xia Yang at once.

"Everyone is grabbing meat to eat, be careful of being stuffed to death!"

Stephen glanced at Xia Yang and others with a gloomy expression.

Cliff and others also had tense expressions.

Originally, the entire Starlink contract belonged to them, but now they were bitten by Xia Yang and the others.

He even got more contracts than them.

"We won't be starved to death, but you, if your teeth are not good, eat less. If you are too greedy, be careful and your teeth will fall out."

When had Xia Yang been ridiculed to his face, he immediately responded.

Suddenly the atmosphere became a bit tense.

The bodyguards on both sides became even more nervous. Some put their hands on their waists and drew their guns at any time.

The bodyguards of Wild Dog not only had their hands on their waists, ready to draw their guns casually, but also surrounded Stephen and the others.

Fortunately, this is the Pentagon.

Seeing that the bodyguards brought by Xia Yang and other consortium bosses seemed to be about to draw their guns and fight, the guards immediately came over.

"You can't take out the gun here."

Worried that Xia Yang was young and energetic, he asked the bodyguard to take out his gun. Damon and James hurriedly pulled him into the car.

After all, this is the Pentagon. If things get serious, the guards have the power to kill.

When Xia Yang got into the car, Wild Dog and the others took their hands off their waists and followed him into the car.

Stephen and others watched Xia Yang and his team leave, but their legs almost gave out and they sat down on the ground.

Because just now the alien opened the car door and glanced at Stephen and others with a pair of tiger eyes.

Just this glance made Stephen and others' hearts almost stop beating.

The huge tiger body of nearly 500 kilograms, with two fist-sized eyes, cold and cold, like a pool of stagnant water, full of the ruthless killing intent of a carnivore, will scare everyone who sees it.

"Build two towers."

As soon as the convoy came out of the gate of the Pentagon, Xia Yang changed his mind and built two launch towers in the United States.

The purpose is very simple, to speed up the launch efficiency, snatch up all the Starlink contracts, and leave Stephen and the others to only have some soup.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

James agreed happily.

"Building a launch tower is simple. What if satellite production cannot keep up and there are no satellites launched?"

Damon said worriedly.

But he didn't need to worry, Xia Yang's tone was unquestionable, "I'll find a way."

Suddenly no one said anything.

After several people returned, they took action quickly.

James and others selected a place to build a launch site and built two launch towers.

Wait for a few people to pick out the Feng Shui treasures.

Ed also sent people over to provide technical support.

At this time, Xia Yang had already flown to Wandao.

Wandao Chuxin International Airport.

"Welcome, Mr. Xia. I heard that you got a big order in the United States. How about taking care of my poor friend?"

Because Xia Yang had contacted him before coming here, Xu Xincheng came to pick him up this time and was very enthusiastic.

"If you are poor, Africa is just like Saudi Arabia, full of rich people."

Xia Yang joked.

The two chatted and laughed, then got in the car, and the motorcade quickly drove out of the airport, with the police car driving the way, and headed straight to Baoxin Building.

As the convoy was driving on the road, Xia Yang wasted no time in getting to the point and handed a satellite order to Xu Xincheng.

"Don't say I don't take care of you, four hundred Starlink satellites a year."
