Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

The issue of graphene has been a hot topic in the industry for some time.

Nanshan Chemical has also officially started research on the application of graphene with sister companies within the group and other Chinese companies, aiming to start large-scale mass production of products this year.

That way the chemical reaction will be even greater.

At the same time, Venusstar Technology's plan for its first moon landing mission officially began.

2016年3月31日早上8点整，启明星9号MAX可回收利用火箭搭载着月球车从琼州卫星发射场正式升空。

Although there are no astronauts this time, there are only lunar rovers, robot dogs and other related equipment.

But this is the first time in thousands of years that China has officially entered the moon, so it naturally attracted the attention of countless people at home and abroad.

Since the first human landing on the moon in 1969, only the United States and polar bears have successfully reached the moon.

And since the 1980s, the world's journey to the moon has come to a standstill.

Twenty or thirty years later, China once again set off a craze for moon landing, and the situation was naturally very different.

"Mr. Cao, this scene is really worth looking forward to. Tonight our news broadcast will set aside three minutes to introduce Venustech's journey to the moon."

Such an important news scene is naturally taken very seriously by the Chinese TV station.

In fact, not only did China TV arrange a special interview team to come to the Qiongzhou Launch Center, but people from mainstream domestic news media also came.

Since the journey to the moon cannot be completed in a day or two, it takes a relatively long time.

As long as there are no unexpected events, this topic will become a hot topic in the Chinese news industry for a long time to come.

"Thank you for Huaxia TV's continued concern and support for us. If you need any promotional materials, you can contact Venusstar Technology at any time."

Cao Yang and Xia Hong are old acquaintances.

As Xia Qingqing's aunt, Xia Hong tries her best to take care of Nanshan's companies within the rules.

Of course, even if there is no such relationship, given the status of Nanshan Group's companies in China, China TV will definitely take good care of them.

"I heard that you are already making simultaneous preparations for manned lunar landings, and that subsequent starships will also officially begin lunar landing tests."

"At your current pace, perhaps in the next three years you will land on the moon more times than the United States and polar bears have landed on the moon combined."

Before coming to the Qiongzhou Launch Center, Xia Hong specifically went to learn about Venusstar Technology's moon landing plan.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. After a careful investigation, you will find that the situation is really exciting.

Many people may not be able to imagine that China's scientific and technological strength can reach this level.

In the past, everyone always thought that America was the most technologically advanced country in the world, but now we find that in many fields, China has caught up with America.

Even in many fields, China has become the world's number one

Nanshan-based companies, represented by Venusstar Technology, are among the best.

Whether it is the Venusstar 9 reusable rocket, the Venusstar 9 MAX or the Starship spacecraft project, they are all the best in the world.

Not to mention the Starlink satellite system that will be fully completed this year.

Even if SpaceX tried its best to catch up, it still couldn't.

In the field of high technology, as long as you are one step ahead, you are likely to stay ahead.

If others want to catch up, they need to put in a tremendous amount of effort.

For example, if Venus Technologies built a base on the moon, it would be very difficult for other countries to surpass it.

Others have already transported hundreds of tons of personnel and supplies to the moon, but you are still working hard on how to land on the moon.

How can this gap be made up so easily?

"The United States and polar bears achieved landfall in the 2016s and s. It's already . If we still can't surpass them, it would be unacceptable."

"Let alone the next three years, by next year at the latest, our number of moon landings will exceed the total of the two companies."

"For this kind of thing, the beginning is the most difficult. Once the beginning is done well, the frequency of subsequent launches can be very fast."

"Just like our current Starlink satellite system, rockets are launched every week. If necessary, we can even launch rockets every day. The technology is already very mature."

Cao Yang answered Xia Hong's question with confidence.

However, this made Qian Junfeng next to him very envious.

Several new rockets from the aerospace technology company have been in development for several years, but have not yet been officially put into use.

As for the super-heavy rocket, the drawings are still being perfected.

Now, Venusstar Technology has already developed the starship spacecraft and started carrying out intensive testing.

Just last week, when the moon landing rocket was officially launched, the second flight test of the Starship spacecraft was successfully completed, and more test projects will be carried out next time.

Even recycled starship spacecraft will be used to carry out a second launch test.

This kind of progress is definitely not comparable to aerospace technology, nor is it comparable to the Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation or the United States.

Because of this situation, relevant departments have begun to question some arrangements of aerospace technology.

Is it still necessary to allocate relevant funds?

For example, Venustech already has better rockets available, so is it necessary for Aerospace Science and Technology to continue researching its own heavy-duty rockets?

Is this considered a duplicate investment?

Related issues gave Qian Junfeng a headache.

However, compared to Qian Junfeng's headache, NASA in the United States is even more troubled.

Since NASA is the first organization in the world to achieve the moon landing, and now that China's Venusstar Technology has begun a new moon landing journey, various media will naturally compare many things from both sides.

On the one hand, there is a comparison of the rockets used for landing on the moon and other arrangements.

On the other hand, there is a comparison of the development differences between the two sides in the past decade.

No matter which comparison it is, it is not very friendly to NASA.

"Musco, how is your starship project going?"

Early this morning, Granfin received a lot of interview invitations from the media, all of which were about NASA's lunar exploration.

After all, America has always advertised itself as a global leader in science and technology.

It is indeed a bit unworthy of its reputation now, and naturally not every media will indulge NASA.

There are also different factions within the United States, and everyone has different demands.

Some people are definitely not satisfied with the current situation at NASA.

Griffin, who is a little confused, now puts NASA's hopes of landing on the moon again on the Starship spacecraft project of Space Exploration Technologies Corporation.

It just so happens that Venus Technology's Starship spacecraft project has already approached mass production, far ahead of SpaceX.

This is another embarrassment.

"It is already a very fast thing to complete the design work this year. I have already communicated the specific content with you before."

Musk was also a little speechless.

For such a large project, can it be accelerated immediately just by making a phone call to urge it?

How difficult is it to develop a product like a starship? How difficult is it to develop a product like a starship?

If it were really that simple, NASA could just do it themselves. Why keep chasing after him?

"If we continue at this pace, won't we be able to mass produce it next year?"

"Let alone the year after next, it would be a very ideal scenario if our starships can be officially put into manned flight before 2020."

"Of course, we also admit that China's Venusstar Technology has indeed achieved global leadership in this regard and has become the world's number one."

"But I believe this lead is temporary. In a few years, we will definitely catch up, or even surpass them."

When Musk said this, his tone was still quite confident.

After all, in the field of reusable rockets, SpaceX's start was no later than that of Venustech.

It’s just that Venus Technology’s development speed was a little faster in the meantime.

He is still confident that he will catch up with Venustech in the starship spacecraft project in the future.

According to his speculation, after Venusstar Technology completes the Starship spacecraft project, it will not devote all its efforts to developing a new generation of spacecraft in the short term.

Because the Starship spacecraft can basically meet the aerospace needs of the next ten years.

Continuing to develop more technologically advanced products will involve enormous technical bottlenecks and investment risks.

As a private enterprise, Venusstar Technology has no need to jump into the pit unless there is any special pressure.

And according to some plans released by Venusstar Technology, their future focus will be on developing the moon and building a large-scale base there.

This gives SpaceX more time to realize its Starship spacecraft project.

"Then we will formulate a specific promotion plan and officially announce it to the public."

"Otherwise, if there is no response at all, there will be all kinds of reports on the Internet, which will be very disadvantageous to us."

Gryffin listened to Musk's explanation and had no better solution.

Now we can only present some PPTs to the public.

What else can we do?

……

And it was the second day that Venusstar Technology’s moon landing journey officially began.

On the European Space Agency side, Werner also personally led a team to communicate with Cao Yang and Zhao Siyu about future cooperation.

"Cao, our European Space Agency's lunar surface negative ion analyzer, France's radon gas detector, and Rome's laser corner reflector are all pretty good."

"For the next lunar launch by Venusstar Technology, we can provide these devices for you to use for free. All you need is for you to share the information detected by these devices with us."

Werner gave some of his conditions sincerely from the beginning.

The European Space Agency wants to participate in VenusTech's lunar exploration mission, but it is not like the Emirates that can provide huge financial support.

In this case, you can only look through your own technical list to see what else the other party may be interested in.

Through this form of technical cooperation, we can gain a certain voice.

After thinking about it for a moment, Cao Yang agreed.

After all, equipment procurement is a very normal thing.

It’s just that due to America’s pursuit and blockade, Venusstar Technology is now domestically producing everything.

But it does not mean that domestic products are 100% better than imported ones.

Now the European Space Agency has taken the initiative to offer these valuable equipment free of charge. Venustech will take them as a reference when the time comes. There will definitely be further technological breakthroughs in these areas.

All you need to do is share some of the lunar exploration data with the other party, which is not a big deal.

With these data, the other party may be more interested in lunar exploration in the future.

However, the other party does not have the strength in this area. The greater the interest, the more they need to take the initiative to find Venusstar Technology to discuss cooperation.

At that time, all the initiative was in the hands of Venusstar Technology.

Pay when you are asked to, otherwise don’t play.

"Venus Technology's lunar journey project welcomes any interested investors from around the world, and we are naturally very interested in these devices from the European Space Agency."

"I'll ask Mr. Zhao to arrange for specialized technicians to work with the technical experts from the European Space Agency to see how to install these devices on our probe."

Werner breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Cao Yang say this.

At this time, he no longer had any arrogance.

If Venustech didn't let them play, they would have no choice at all.

NASA doesn’t even have the capability to land on the moon now, let alone the European Space Agency.

As an organization jointly established by multiple European countries, the European Space Agency can take advantage of some group advantages, but it is also destined to have many inherent disadvantages.

Not every country's voters support using their tax dollars to develop some illusory technology.

Especially when the European Space Agency is lagging behind the world in technology and spending a lot of money to catch up, the significance of this is even more worthy of discussion.

"No problem. We have brought the relevant technical data and parameters of the equipment. We can have a good discussion in the next few days."

Werner was very anxious because he knew that Venus Technology was moving very fast. If he wanted to carry their equipment on the next moon landing trip, he had to act as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the other person’s rocket had already taken off.

They can't wait until others are about to build a base on the moon before they start to load their equipment onto other people's rockets, right?

By that time the day lilies were already cold.

With such a good start, other cooperation between the European Space Agency and Venus Technologies will naturally go more smoothly.

However, all negotiation initiatives are definitely firmly in the hands of Venusstar Technology.

The advantage is mine. If you are willing to cooperate, you have to follow my rules.

Even the various instruments on the spacecraft have Chinese interfaces.

If you are not used to it, don't use it.
