As time went by, SpaceX's stock price increased sharply every day. This phenomenon made the directors of SpaceX laugh from ear to ear.
After all, SpaceX had no big news last year, causing the company's stock price to drop by more than $900. Musk said this at the board meeting at the time.
Now is a good opportunity to buy at the bottom. Wait until the company releases a big news, and then sell the stocks you acquired now, and you will make a lot of money immediately.
Sure enough, the rewards for taking money out to buy at the bottom and stabilize the stock price have come.
Just the day before SpaceX's press conference, all directors, including Musk, secretly sold a portion of their stocks, causing SpaceX's stock price to fluctuate throughout the day and remain stable.
Musk doesn’t earn much, just over 2 billion U.S. dollars. He earns living expenses and pocket money for several wives, as well as milk powder money and pocket money for many children.
They won't have to worry about their expenses for the next decade or so.
SpaceX has also made money. When it stabilized its stock price last year, it announced that the company would use part of its funds to repurchase shares, and now it is selling these shares.
The principal and earned money enter the company account, and there will immediately be a large amount of money available for use in the financial account!
The profits earned are enough to keep SpaceX running for five or six years.
Now, the annual funds SpaceX spends on research and development are increasing year by year, from more than 2 billion US dollars at the beginning to more than 6 billion US dollars last year.
It is estimated to reach US$7 billion this year.
Although we have spent a lot of money in recent years, we have also gained a lot from it. This can be seen from SpaceX's self-built interstellar spacecraft and Mars base construction.
If we were to find a base on Mars that could compete with the Protoss Group’s Mars Base at this moment, it would be the SpaceX Mars Base!
When SpaceX rebuilds its Mars base, the first step is to dig a shelter, and it starts construction both underground and above ground. Its investment in this area is larger than that of the NSAA.
Today, many reporters from around the world have arrived at the SpaceX headquarters. Many media have arrived a few days in advance and have already arranged equipment for live broadcast.
This time, SpaceX also learned from the Starling Group and adopted live broadcast charging, but the price is not high. All live broadcast media must pay US$20,000.
Since the fee was not high, more than a hundred media outlets paid this amount, which was directly transferred to the administrative department, and the administrative department's annual office expenses were paid.
In the eyes of many media, there is nothing you can do against these two technology geeks, Gao Jin and Musk, because their own traffic halo is too strong.
Especially Gao Jin, who charges a starting fee of 100,000 euros for major announcements, which is even more ruthless than Musk.
The media severely boycotted Musk for their own interests and reduced Musk's charging standards to the normal range.
But you can't resist Gao Jin. The global media united twice but failed.
The night passed, and early the next morning, reporters began to gather towards the SpaceX headquarters. Today's press conference was held in the open air.
The staff made arrangements at the entrance of the headquarters. There were signboards to guide reporters, and many security personnel were patrolling back and forth. After all, there are many important research projects here at the headquarters.
Chairs, a podium, and a huge combined screen have been placed on the lawn in front of the headquarters building.
The noisy situation gradually calmed down. The reporters were ready and the live broadcast equipment was turned on. At this moment, many people turned on the equipment they were accustomed to using to watch the live broadcast.
Gao Jin was no exception. It was noon on the American side, but already late at night on the Chinese side.
As time passed, Musk appeared, accompanied by several senior directors. The scene immediately began to flash with flashing lights. Musk and the directors smiled and waved to the camera.
The group of people came to a stop not far from the podium. Musk chatted with the directors for a few words and then strode to stand behind the podium.
The scene became quiet after leaving. This is Musk’s aura, which is very powerful.
"Dear friends from the media, welcome to today's press conference. I can guarantee that you will verify history today!"
"I remember that a considerable number of elites have been pursuing extraterrestrial civilizations and extraterrestrial creatures since the birth of mankind."
"Unfortunately, until now, the extraterrestrial civilizations and extraterrestrial creatures we are pursuing have existed in legends, and there has been no real evidence to prove that these exist."
When Musk said this, many people watching the live broadcast concentrated. Could it be said that SpaceX has found evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization.
Or maybe extraterrestrial life has been found!
Just when people were curious, Musk continued his speech, "What I want to tell you today is that we cannot prove the status of civilization yet."
"but"
"Extraterrestrial life, SpaceX has found it!"
As Musk finished speaking, the flashlights flashed again, and everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned, including Gao Jin.
Extraterrestrial creatures!
SpaceX found extraterrestrial life, how is this possible?
It's impossible not to be surprised. This news is too shocking and has subverted many people's thinking!
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet."
"After the press conference, there will be time for everyone to ask questions. Now, listen to what I have to say."
After Musk finished speaking, he pressed his hands repeatedly. After a while, the reporters at the scene became quiet again, and Musk began to continue talking.
"The extraterrestrial creature found by SpaceX is not alive, but a fossil!"
"When our company's Mars base was opening an underground shelter, a giant piece of amber was dug out. There was a fossil of a Martian creature in the amber."
"The preservation is very perfect, even the hair on its body is well preserved"
"The discovery of amber proves that Mars was once like the Earth, with lush vegetation and diverse organisms. As for when Mars became the planet without any signs of life now."
"We still need to continue to conduct research."
"SpaceX will invest heavily in establishing a biological research institute on a small island. This research institute will conduct research on animal and plant specimens from other planets discovered now and in the future."
"Now everyone, please look at the big screen. This is the complete video sent back from the Mars base."
After Musk finished speaking, he gave the staff a look. Soon, the big screen lit up, and everyone's attention was focused on the big screen.
Outside, everyone watching the live broadcast was also focused and full of curiosity about the Martian creature amber.
The video started to play. At first it was just a video of ground excavation. Soon, a person shouted and the excavation work was stopped. It can be seen from the video that many people gathered around.
A corner of the amber could be seen, and the workers immediately began to dig carefully. It took almost two hours to dig out the complete amber.
Everyone could see clearly that the amber was almost half a person tall, definitely over fifty centimeters in diameter, and it was transparent, with a creature sealed inside.
This creature obviously has the characteristics of a fly and a mosquito, but its size is many times larger than that of flies and mosquitoes on Earth.
The most eye-catching thing is its tail, which looks like a scorpion tail and has a spike. At first glance, you can tell that this creature is very lethal!
The complete video was shown and then disappeared, and the big screen was turned off again. The reporters immediately began to raise their hands, with too many questions to ask.
At this time, Musk began to come back to the podium again, pressed his hands down a few times and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. As I said, the press conference will leave time for everyone to ask questions."
After hearing Musk's words, the reporters lowered their raised hands and fell silent again.
"Everyone, this amber has been transported to my SpaceX starship and is returning to Earth. It is expected that it will be officially available to you in a few months."
"Interested organizations can contact my SpaceX administrative department to participate in research together."
"Start asking questions now"
After Musk said this, the underground reporters immediately started raising their hands to ask. When Gao Jin saw this, he turned off the computer video and stopped watching. He already knew what was going on, so there was no point in watching.
He stood up from behind the desk and went to the leisure area to sit down and start making tea. He asked in his mind, "Star Spirit, can this kind of creature be resurrected using Earth's technological means?"
"Can!"
"But I advise you not to do this. This kind of creature is very lethal at first glance. The specific lethality will not be determined until I scan it after it arrives on Earth!"
"Just from the appearance, it has certain similarities with flies, mosquitoes, and scorpions on the earth."
"If this creature has the ability to reproduce like flies and mosquitoes, it will definitely be a catastrophic disaster for you humans!"
After Xing Ling finished speaking, he fell silent. Gao Jin smiled bitterly after hearing this. It has nothing to do with him whether the creature is resurrected or not. This was not discovered by the Xing Ling Group.
With the technological strength of SpaceX and the strength of some research institutes, it is not impossible to resurrect this creature. Amber can seal this creature.
It can also keep the organism's DNA intact.
If the DNA of this creature were injected into other creatures, God knows what monsters they would create.
However, I really can't ignore this matter. I must speak out for the safety of myself and my family. However, now is not the time for me to speak out.
Just wait and see, I believe those international brick-and-mortar experts will not disappoint me. They can definitely see the dangers of this creature!
Gao Jin was thinking about this matter in the office. Discussions about this Martian creature had already begun, especially on social platforms. The discussion was very lively.
Before the experts started talking about safety, many netizens had already thought of Jurassic Park. Although there is no technology to resurrect dinosaurs in reality, many people began to worry.
