Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Venustech's first lunar exploration mission was successfully completed, but the impact it brought is far from easy to disappear.

In the next few months, various moon-related news will become hot searches from time to time.

Venustech and some other scientific research institutions have conducted various analyses on the lunar soil, and have gradually produced many results.

Why is the lunar soil so precious?

You should know that the surface of the moon is almost completely covered by lunar soil. When the lander arrives at the lunar surface for exploration, the lunar dust raised by the lunar soil will cover the surfaces of various sensors and fill the gaps in the mechanisms, posing a direct safety threat to the mission.

Moreover, the gravity on the lunar surface is only 1/6 of the Earth's gravity. Under the action of space weathering, the electromagnetic properties of lunar soil particles have also changed, and the adhesion force is very strong.

When astronauts work outside the cabin, their bodies are easily covered with lunar soil particles. Although these lunar soil particles are extremely fine and small, they are very sharp and pose a huge threat to astronauts.

Therefore, if humans want to explore the moon, or even build a lunar base and use the moon in the future, they must first understand the lunar soil. This is the foundation of the foundation.

Besides, lunar soil itself is a valuable resource.

"Mr. Cao, according to the analysis of our researchers, there is a layer of amorphous glass on the surface of the ilmenite particles in the lunar soil. A large number of helium bubbles with a diameter of about 5-25 nanometers can be observed in the glass layer, and most of the bubbles are located near the interface between the glass layer and the crystal. There are basically no helium bubbles in the crystals inside the particles."

"These helium atoms are first injected into the ilmenite lattice by the solar wind, and then the helium is gradually released due to the channel diffusion effect of the lattice."

"The surface glass has a disordered atomic stacking structure, which limits the release of helium atoms. The helium atoms are captured and gradually stored, forming bubbles."

Based on the recent analysis, Zhao Siyu specially arranged a report to personally explain the conditions of the lunar soil to Cao Yang.

This is very important for the next step of the construction of the lunar base by Venusstar Technology.

"What does this mean?"

Cao Yang understood every word Zhao Siyu said.

But I didn't understand what it meant.

"This means that if we break the surface glass, we can extract the helium-3 stored in the form of bubbles at room temperature. Moreover, ilmenite has weak magnetic properties, so it can be separated from other lunar soil particles by magnetic screening, making it easier to mine on the moon in situ."

"By using the method of heating up the lunar soil samples brought back from the moon in stages to extract helium-3, our researchers have finally established the optimal extraction temperature parameters for lunar soil helium-3."

"These key data provide basic support for our future estimation of the total amount of lunar helium-3 resources and the exploration and development of helium-3 resources."

After Zhao Siyu said this, Cao Yang finally got what he wanted.

Helium-3, anyone who has studied high school physics knows that this is a fun thing.

There is a large amount of helium-3 on the moon, which is scarce on Earth. This was confirmed by scientists in 1985 through analysis of lunar rock samples brought back by Apollo.

Helium-3, as an isotope of helium, is a fuel for controlled nuclear fusion. The energy generated by its nuclear fusion is 250 times the energy required for mining and 235 times that of uranium-12.5 nuclear fission reaction.

The energy generated by 100 tons of helium-3 nuclear fusion can supply the world for one year. The helium-1 nuclear fusion process has no risk of secondary neutron radiation and is cleaner and more controllable.

In addition, helium-3 is a key refrigerant for achieving extremely low temperature environments and is an essential substance in cutting-edge research fields such as superconductivity, quantum computing, and topological insulators.

However, the helium element on Earth is mainly helium-4 produced by the decay of radioactive elements uranium and thorium. The reserves of helium-3 are only about 0.5 tons, which is simply unable to meet existing demand.

However, the moon has an astonishing reserve of helium-3 because helium-3 is an important component of the solar wind.

The Earth's magnetic field protects the Earth, but it also blocks helium-3. The Moon does not have a magnetic field like the Earth, so it is exposed to solar wind all year round and stores a large amount of helium-3.

Faced with the huge amount of helium-3 in the lunar soil, the scientific community has launched a lunar "gold rush" since the end of the 20th century, but in situ and efficient mining of helium-3 has always been a technical challenge.

Previous studies have shown that helium-3 is dissolved in lunar soil particles. The extraction of helium-3 is limited by the diffusion rate and requires high temperatures above 700°C. This is not only energy-intensive but also slow, which is not conducive to in-situ mining on the moon.

Now, the research of Venusstar Technologies has overturned this conclusion, and the meaning is naturally completely different.

This means that the helium-3 on the moon is valuable for easy utilization.

"This information is very important. You can work together with Nanshan Equipment to start producing equipment for refining helium-3 on the moon."

"We will try to transport this equipment to the moon via the Starship spacecraft next year, so that our journey to the moon can generate some visible economic benefits."

Although Cao Yang is not short of money, he knows that such a large-investment project is not a good thing if there is no economic benefit.

Only when everyone feels that landing on the moon is a very profitable thing will their enthusiasm be higher.

The support provided by the whole of China will also be greater.

Of course, this will certainly stimulate other countries to reconsider their plans to land on the moon, especially the United States.

But now we are already behind, and even if we reconsider it, it will not be a task that can be accomplished in a short time.

By then, Venusstar Technology will have already embarked on a virtuous cycle by relying on mineral mining on the moon.

"No problem. We are already in close contact with Nanshan Equipment and have started research and development on some of the equipment for the previously planned lunar base. Some of the equipment has even been produced for testing."

"As long as the Starship successfully completes the moon landing test, our equipment can be transported there first."

"At the same time, we can also refer to the construction method of the space station and build an outpost on the moon first to provide various assistance for the construction of the lunar base."

Zhao Siyu is now promoting matters related to the moon landing as the most important task.

As long as this task is accomplished, Venusstar Technology will surely become the most famous company in the world, with unlimited prospects.

"Now that you have thought it through, let's act as soon as possible."

Cao Yang didn't ask about so many details. He just needed to know the overall progress and understand the next direction of efforts.

While Venusstar Technology was preparing for the next moon landing activity, a short video suddenly appeared on the Chinese Internet and suddenly attracted the attention of many people.

In the video, a DJI drone equipped with a phased array radar is placed in farmland to control wild boars.

As long as wild boars appear in farmland to cause damage, they will be detected by radar and then automatically driven away by drones.

What surprised everyone the most was that a civilian version of the phased array radar, which could simultaneously monitor 5 targets within a radius of 10 to 100 kilometers, cost an astonishingly low few thousand yuan.

It's really amazing!

After the anchor finished introducing the situation, domestic netizens did not react at first, but the anchor in the United States was the first to notice the unusualness of it.

After this video was reposted, it quickly received millions of hits in America.

Then this video was once again brought back by other domestic bloggers.

Now everyone knows why this video became so popular.

China's phased array radar technology has become famous.

"Lawrence, has China's phased array radar technology developed to this level?"

John frowned and looked at Lawrence, the president of Raytheon.

As the most important military radar supplier in the United States, Raytheon naturally also produces various phased array radars.

Although we knew before that China's radar technology had made a huge breakthrough after Venusstar Technology used a large number of gallium nitride power components in phased array radars.

But now even drones used to drive away wild boars are using phased array radars, which is too exaggerated.

The key is that the price of this radar is so cheap.

"Nanshan Semiconductor is the world's largest manufacturer of gallium nitride power components, and its production capacity alone accounts for 80% of the world's total."

"With abundant and cheap GaN power components and their successful T/R component technology, it is almost inevitable that China's phased array radar technology will be very strong."

Lawrence's words made John feel cold.

Why don’t I hear any good news recently?

This can't go on like this.

He could not accept the fact that America was surpassed by China in all walks of life.

Strategic bombers, fifth-generation stealth fighters, air defense missile systems, drones, heavy transport helicopters...

A variety of products have begun to put tremendous pressure on America.

Seeing the big picture from the small, a phased array radar technology can pose a huge threat.

This type of radar is used extensively in civilian products, so how can military products be bad?

"The breakthrough in gallium nitride has indeed allowed Huaxia's phased array radar to surpass ours, and related products are emerging like mushrooms after rain."

"We can't just wait passively like this, we should do something."

Hearing John say this, Lawrence didn't know what to say.

They purchase their gallium nitride power components from other semiconductor manufacturers and have no way to produce them themselves.

In this case, he couldn't give an answer because he hadn't communicated well with the chip manufacturer.

Around the same time when this video went viral, a Chinese electronic reconnaissance ship appeared in the eastern waters, specifically to detect an exercise by a related team in Japan.

The electronic reconnaissance ships produced by Nanshan Semiconductor and other Nanshan-affiliated companies in cooperation with Wenchong Shipyard have now become China's main maritime reconnaissance force.

Not only do they have strong reconnaissance capabilities, their electronic warfare capabilities are even more powerful.

Many countries have already suffered losses.

This time, China's electronic reconnaissance ship went even further. It directly intercepted the radar signal of the Japanese fleet and played a clip of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" on their screens.

The Japanese side naturally knows who did such a shameful thing.

So apart from protesting secretly, people did not dare to publicize it.

However, someone in Japan leaked the news, and there was even a video.

Now things immediately became interesting.

"Boss Cao, the relevant departments are very satisfied with the electronic reconnaissance ship you and Wenchong Shipyard produced."

After Pan Jun learned the inside story of the news, he immediately came over with a smile on his face to share it with Cao Yang.

"I've also seen the news on Weibo. It seems like the Japanese have lost face this time."

Mi Ying would prepare the previous day's hot news for Cao Yang every morning, so although Cao Yang himself did not have much time to check his phone, he was always very clear about the hot news on the Internet.

"Yes, Japan has always boasted about how powerful its maritime force is, especially more than a decade ago, when it felt that its strength was stronger than that of the entire China."

"But things are different now. Our maritime power is no longer comparable to that of Japan."

"The electronic reconnaissance ships and missile destroyers alone are enough to give them a hard time."

"Not to mention we have aircraft carriers."

Pan Jun is now full of confidence in China's national defense capabilities.

In recent years, China has added a lot of related equipment, whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the sea.

Many of these are produced by Venustech.

As long as it is produced by Venusstar Technology, even if the technology is not the best in the world, it is definitely at the world's first-class level.

Along with this change, China's strength has naturally increased, and it is no longer an existence that anyone can bully.

"We now have a large number of fighter jets, drones, and bombers, and the relevant departments have formed a new way of fighting."

"These tactics have been proven to be very effective in some conflict areas."

"I guess America is worried about how to deal with our rise in the future even in its dreams."

The current situation is what Cao Yang is happy to see.

From 1999 to 2016, I have worked hard for 17 years and finally brought considerable changes to this country.

More than a decade ago, no one could have imagined that China could be so powerful.

The lion of the East has completely awakened.

Even if others are not used to it, they will have to get used to it slowly.

Especially those countries surrounding China, if they want to take advantage of China's development, they naturally have to make more changes.

Otherwise, we can only follow America.

This choice is obviously not a good one.

"No one can stop China's rise, especially as our military strength is developing rapidly and our economic development is growing rapidly every year."

"Under these circumstances, America's actions are slowly becoming unpopular."

"From now on, America will no longer have the final say in this world."

The two of them started a lively conversation in the office.

In response to these changes in China, America has naturally not taken any action.

But no one probably expected that America’s new move would expose a huge weakness.
