Musk said in English: "Mr. Du, your research on rocket recovery technology is really exciting... I always thought that the future of mankind lies in space, not the earth. Developing rockets and space exploration technology is what we should do."

    "That''s why I founded the space exploration technology company to devote myself to the research of space exploration technology... Our rocket technology has always been ahead of the world, especially the Falcon heavy launch vehicle, whose performance is much better than the long march rocket."

    "If I can get Mr. Du''s help, I think we can make more powerful rockets. It will no longer be a problem for humans to enter space!"

    While the assistant was preparing to translate, Du Xingyu shook his head and replied directly in English: "Mr. musk, I understand your kindness, but I''m sorry I can''t join SpaceX (space exploration technology) company."

    "Why?" Musk was puzzled and said, "Mr. Du, are you because of the restrictions of the Huaxia space agency? As far as I know, they allow you to be the scientific and technological consultant of commercial space companies, otherwise I wouldn''t come to China from the United States!"

    Huang Kai also said, "yes, Mr. Du. I know you may be inconvenient in some aspects when you work in the space agency, but don''t worry. I think Mr. musk will find a perfect scheme so that you don''t have to be limited to the work of the space agency."

    "No, more than that." Du Xingyu still refused.

    "So is that the reason for the hire money?" Elon Musk said quickly with a suddenly realized look on his face: "if Mr. Du is willing to come to my company as a technology consultant, I am willing to offer 100 million US dollars as salary! And there are equity rewards!"

    As a capitalist in capitalist society, Musk''s first thought was that Du Xingyu wanted more money.

    Du Xingyu smiled and said, "with my current technology, it''s too simple to want money. I''m not because of money."

    "What''s that?" Musk wondered. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Du, is it because of political reasons?"

    Du Xingyu smiled but said nothing. Musk continued, "this is really a trouble, but you can rest assured that my think tank team will solve this problem perfectly."

    "I have to make it clear that I came to you. It has nothing to do with politics! It has nothing to do with business! It''s just for the progress of science and technology!"

    Musk looked at him sincerely and said, "science has no borders!"

    "Yes, science has no national boundaries!" Huang Kai and others agreed with this sentence and looked at Du Xingyu together, hoping that Du Xingyu would agree.

    They can give wealth, fame and status. As long as Du Xingyu nods, he will have more money than he can spend in his life and enjoy a life that ordinary people can''t dream of!

    "Yes, science has no national boundaries." Du Xingyu stood up and looked at the capitalists in front of him. These people are people with billions, billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars.

    "Mr. Du?" musk and others looked forward to it. Du Xingyu was finally going to let go?

    "Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have!" Du Xingyu said word by word. His eyes were firm and his tone was firm: "I''m Chinese. Even if you give me a better treatment, I''d rather build my own country. Thank you very much for your invitation, but I can''t be invited. Thank you."

    "Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have?" Huang Kai repeated his words, suddenly feeling ashamed.

    Does it really have nothing to do with national boundaries to let Du Xingyu serve as the technical consultant of the space exploration technology company? Huang Kai knows very well that such important scientific research talents and scientific research projects can never avoid state-to-state interference.

    At that time, Du Xingyu, he or Elon Musk will not be able to control the development of the situation.

    In the final analysis, he is also a broker for personal interests. Compared with Du Xingyu, his behavior is really humiliating.

    "Ashamed." Huang Kai stood up and apologized, "Mr. Du said well. We took the liberty!"

    "What a shame!" Zhang Mu and others stood up and apologized when they heard Du Xingyu''s words.

    Elon Musk sighed and said, "Mr. Du is admirable. Although I can''t work together, I''m still willing to make friends with you."

    "After all, there are not many people in the world who love exploring space and have the courage to embrace the future."

    He shook hands with Du Xingyu. Both sides knew that they would be competitors from now on.

    The changes brought by Du Xingyu to the aerospace industry have also attracted the attention of American countries and capitalists to Musk''s SpaceX company. A world-class space race is about to begin!

    ……

    Du Xingyu refused all invitations from foreign companies. Even if domestic commercial aerospace companies were still toddlers like babies, he met them one by one.

    At present, the most worthy investment is Dong Jiangbo''s Xingyao space technology company. This company has the background of the space agency, the founder is his senior brother, and its strength is also acceptable.

    If Dong Jiangbo can really get an investment of 10 billion, Du Xingyu will serve as the technical consultant of Xingyao space technology to help develop spacecraft.

    NASA, rocket research institute and Du Xingyu finally waited for Cao Liang''s notice.

    "Your application has passed!" Cao Liang said with a smile. "The above has agreed to establish the nuclear power rocket research project! You will be the chief engineer of the project design. However, since you are not experienced enough, your old boss he Jingcheng will be the project leader. In addition, Huaxia nuclear power research and Design Institute and Huaxia Institute of atomic energy science will also send nuclear experts to assist."

    "Great, thank you for your leadership!" Du Xingyu said happily. With the help of NASA and the Nuclear Power Research Institute, the research and development of nuclear powered Rockets will be much smoother!

    "Don''t be happy too early!" Cao Liang smiled and said seriously, "we have undertaken a lot to determine the nuclear powered rocket research project this time, and the burden is very heavy!"

    "You must do a good job. Don''t disgrace our rocket design and Research Institute!"

    "We must live up to our mission!" said Du Xingyu. "By the way, leader, I have a little request."

    "Do you want someone?" Cao Liang guessed before Du Xingyu said.

    "How do you know?" Du Xingyu said strangely.

    "Hey," said Cao Liang with a smile, "I can''t compare with you in rocket research, but you still have to learn more in watching people and doing things!"

    "I approved. Anyone you like in this research institute can be brought into your own team. However, you can''t delay and affect the existing R & D tasks. You should also obtain their own consent and ask me to sign after confirmation."

    "Good!" Du Xingyu has been in the Research Institute for so long. He knows who has real talent and practical work.
