Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"Yes, unless we give up the Chinese market, it will definitely not work if we don't make some localized changes."

“And the EU’s current efforts to promote clean energy have also increased its requirements for carbon peaking in the future.”

"The development of electric vehicles is imperative."

Vondel has always been worried about Volkswagen's situation in China.

When Volkswagen first entered the Chinese market in the 1980s, they were in a very disadvantageous situation globally.

Later, with the help of the take-off of the Chinese market, Volkswagen's global position has also been greatly improved.

In addition to the German domestic market, China has been Volkswagen's largest overseas market in the world in recent years.

This is a place where no one can give up easily.

Fortunately, after such a long period of hard work, the headquarters finally made some changes.

"Toyota is changing its attitude, and BMW is also taking action. The situation in China's auto market will become more and more interesting in the future."

Strauss feels that he cannot understand the changes in China's automobile market now.

In recent years, not only have many new car-making forces emerged, but traditional car companies have also made many moves.

Not to mention looking at future development, even at the beginning of the year I cannot understand what will happen at the end of the year.

However, while other car companies are busy promoting their electrification strategies, Nanshan Automobile Group is focusing on another thing.

"Mr. Cao, we have done various tests with Venus Technology on this lunar rover, and it can fully meet the requirements for moon landing."

Rao Yongxiang, Zhao Siyu and others accompanied Cao Yang to the trial workshop of Nanshan Automobile Group to visit the lunar rover that will be officially launched next year.

Even though this is a simple car, in fact the various requirements are very complex.

On the one hand, it is necessary to consider the huge impact during the launch process, and various parts are specially designed.

On the other hand, when the lunar rover reaches space, it still needs to follow the rocket to land on the lunar surface, which is another huge challenge.

The most important thing is that after the lunar rover lands on the moon, it does not just leave it there, but finds a way to bring it back.

Of course, even if it is difficult to bring it back, at least the lunar soil collected by the lunar rover and other things must be brought back.

In this case, there are many factors to consider.

"It looks somewhat similar to the off-road vehicles used by relevant departments. There is no problem with the structural strength, right?"

Cao Yang turned around and sat on it with interest to try it out.

This product will be officially announced to the public soon, letting everyone know that Venus Technology’s new move is coming soon.

"The body frame of our lunar rover is all made of T1500 carbon fiber composite material, which is definitely the most advanced material in the world."

“Whether it’s in terms of structural strength or lightweight, the impact is huge.”

"A large amount of carbon fiber materials are used in various other parts. The volume of the entire lunar rover is 20% larger than what was previously announced by Polar Bear and America, but our weight is much lighter than them."

Rao Yongxiang is very confident about the key projects he is personally responsible for.

The current strength of Nanshan Automobile Group is definitely no worse than any other automobile giant.

The sales volume of the entire group this year is expected to exceed 3 million vehicles, which will directly enter the top 10 in the world.

The key is that they sell high-end models, and their influence cannot be underestimated.

"Lightweight work is very important, especially in the aerospace field. If you make it lighter without deteriorating all aspects of performance, you will save a lot of launch costs."

Cao Yang has always attached great importance to technological progress. Many years ago, Nanshan Group made a slogan of relying on technology to win orders.

So far, the spirit of this sentence has not changed.

"In addition to lightweight work, many of our intelligent and networked component technologies are also used on the lunar rover."

"By then, this lunar rover will be a very smart product, and it will be further upgraded in the future to become a lunar rover that astronauts can drive without wearing bulky space suits."

Rao Yongxiang's plan for the lunar rover is obviously not a one-time thing.

In the future, Venus Technology will march to the moon and build a lunar base there.

Then, it is natural to consider the transportation problem on the moon.

At least in the long run, it needs to be considered.

For Nanshan Automobile Group, this is the best way to show its technical strength.

As long as the moon is full of Nanshan Automobile Group's lunar rovers, it will definitely be very effective in maintaining or even improving the brand luxury of Nanshan Automobile Group.

"You can send out the appearance pictures of the lunar rover to promote it, but we won't do the physical display yet."

Daystar Technology’s journey to the moon is not without competitors.

Even if there are no opponents in a short period of time, it does not mean that there will be no opponents in the future.

Therefore, Cao Yang also needs to consider the need for technical confidentiality and not to assist others when the time comes.

Sometimes, the difference in thinking is really just a thought.

According to the legend, the earliest generation product of China's nuclear submarine was when the relevant personnel went on a business trip to the United States and saw a nuclear submarine toy sold in a toy store. Then they got a lot of information and generated a lot of inspiration. In the end, China's nuclear submarine product was born. .

Whether the story is true or not, it at least shows the importance of confidentiality, which cannot be ignored at any time.

With Cao Yang's instructions, Rao Yongxiang and his team naturally took action quickly.

Venusstar Technology also cooperated to release the next unmanned lunar landing plan.

With the lunar rover developed by Nanshan Automobile Group, Nanshan Automobile Group and Venusstar Technology once again dominated a lot of hot searches.

"Mr. Cao, I feel that it is possible to consider letting Xingchen Automobile and Future Automobile launch a lunar rover joint product in the future?"

Seeing that netizens are very interested in the lunar rover produced by Nanshan Automobile Group, Zeng Tingting immediately found a business opportunity.

Although the shape of the lunar rover cannot be used directly, it is completely no problem to use some design elements.

The most important thing is to hype up this topic, which is still very effective in enhancing brand strength and attracting some fans.

Zeng Tingting is engaged in marketing every day and is very familiar with this set.

"The lunar rover is electric, so let Future Auto come up with a co-branded limited edition model."

"This will further enhance the influence of Future Auto."

Cao Yang thought about it for a while and felt that Zeng Tingting's idea was good.

Of course, this kind of product is mostly based on a certain product, with a modified appearance, and the chassis and powertrain remain unchanged.

The actual development cost will not be very high.

It's just that Nanshan Auto Group has so many actions that other car companies are a little nervous.

Of course, Cao Yang doesn't care so much.

"Huaxia's lunar rover has been produced, and it is said that it will be officially launched to the moon in the first quarter of next year. This action is getting faster and faster."

Seeing that the long Christmas holiday is coming, Griffin came to Tesla to meet with Musk.

The lunar rover is an electric car, and NASA's subsequent lunar rover can also be considered to be produced by Space Exploration Technologies Corporation and Tesla.

It just so happens that both companies are Musk's companies, and communication will be much smoother.

"Venus Technology is able to produce so many high-tech products, and its strength is very strong."

"It's normal for them to come up with so many things so quickly."

Masco has adjusted his mentality now.

In terms of strength, whether it is Tesla or SpaceX, there is a gap compared with the overall strength of the Nanshan Group.

They are like an aircraft carrier fleet, fighting in groups.

This advantage has developed to this stage and is no longer comparable to ordinary companies.

Whether in the field of raw materials, software control, or the accumulation of aerospace technology, the comprehensive strength of the Nanshan Group is now rare in the world.

Even Boeing and other old military-industrial complexes dare not say that they can beat them.

Even to put it bluntly, Boeing and Lockheed Martin are no longer opponents of the Nanshan Group.

It's just that no one dares to admit it, and the Nanshan Group has not promoted this point.

"We can't let China continue to develop like this. After the election results come out, all kinds of big moves will soon follow."

"We must suppress China in all aspects."

Granfin was a little confused about why some candidates received so much support.

But from another perspective, everything seems to make sense.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. It may be too late to wait until the election comes out."

Both of Musk's core companies are in great competition with the Nanshan Group, and now Tesla seems to have no future in China.

So his attitude towards China is also changing.

This is also a very normal thing, after all, the butt determines the head.

…

Along with the launch of the lunar rover, Venusstar Technology simultaneously announced the number of reusable rocket launches in 2015.

Although tomorrow is New Year's Day, Venusstar Technology has completed all its rocket launch missions this year.

[Refreshing the world record, Venusstar Technology's 166 rocket launches]

With such a short content posted on the official microblog, the response it caused was not small at all.

Many Chinese netizens have become accustomed to watching the rocket launch live broadcast of Venusstar Technology on the Nanshan Film and Television APP when they are free.

Due to the high frequency of launches, the content of the daily live broadcast is relatively rich.

Either they are preparing for the rocket launch or they are already launching.

Not to mention, the number of viewers of this live broadcast has always been high.

And there is a subtle upward trend.

"Mr. Cao, why didn't you announce the number of rocket launches next year this time?"

Many people had already expected the brilliant performance of Venusstar Technology in 2015.

After all, at the end of 2014, they had officially announced the launch plan for 2015.

Now the plan has just been realized.

But Qian Junfeng is very concerned about what 2016 will look like.

The number of rockets launched by Aerospace Science and Technology this year is less than 30, and the gap between them and Venusstar Technology is getting bigger and bigger.

For some domestic commercial satellite launch projects, everyone is accustomed to looking for Venusstar Technology for cooperation.

After all, their charges are very competitive.

The experience of Venus 9 being reusable more than 20 times has also brought the launch cost down to a new level.

"The plan for 2016 is closely related to the research of our Starship project."

"If Starship cannot be put into use in 2016, then our rocket launches will exceed 200 times next year."

"On the one hand, it is to prepare for the best layout of the Starlink satellite system, and on the other hand, it is to do some work on the moon."

Cao Yang reported an astronomical number of launches for the global rocket launch industry, but Qian Junfeng was not too surprised.

After all, there have been 166 launches this year, and 200 launches next year, which seems nothing strange.

However, if you compare it with the number of rocket launches ten years ago, you will know how exaggerated the data of 200 times is.

Because ten years ago, the total number of rocket launches in the world was less than 100 times per year.

"Last month, your starship conducted the second static bench test, which was a perfect success."

"According to your plan, the next one is the first launch test."

"Are you already arranging this work?"

Qian Junfeng asked curiously.

For him, if he didn't understand the development plan of Venusstar Technology, some plans of Aerospace Science and Technology would be difficult to make.

He no longer thought about surpassing Venusstar Technology.

That was something that could not be achieved at all.

But not being made too ugly by Venusstar Technology was something he had to face.

The relevant departments allocated hundreds of billions of yuan to Aerospace Science and Technology every year. If these funds had not achieved any results, someone would definitely have opinions in the end.

At that time, it was unknown what the result would be.

"Mr. Qian, you asked at the right time. Our first flight of the starship is scheduled to start on the first day of the Chinese New Year."

After Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng couldn't help but ask: "Will the sensitive time of the first day of the Chinese New Year bring invisible pressure to your launch work?"

"There is no pressure. Success is naturally the best. If it fails, it will be like setting off a big firework to celebrate the Spring Festival for everyone."

Cao Yang shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

Venus Technology is not a listed company, so there is no need to worry about the failure of the rocket launch causing the stock price to plummet.

Similarly, it is not a state-owned enterprise. As long as Cao Yang says that he will not pursue the responsibility for the failure, then this matter will be over.

"Then I have to watch your launch live broadcast carefully at that time."

"I have to be on duty during the Spring Festival, so I can't come to watch it on site."

Qian Junfeng showed a trace of regret on his face.

Venus Technology's starship project is very powerful.

It feels very different to be able to witness it in person now.
