Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

On May 2017, Labor Day, , Venus Technology's Starship spacecraft carried the first batch of six astronauts to the moon, officially starting China's manned lunar journey.

At such a grand moment, there were naturally many people bidding farewell at the Qiongzhou Launch Center. Cao Yang, Qian Junfeng and leaders of relevant departments held a grand ceremony here.

Then everyone witnessed the sci-fi version of the starship taking off and quickly heading into space.

Although the Starship spacecraft is faster than the Venus 9 MAX, it still takes two days to reach the lunar orbit from the Earth.

Fortunately, during these two days, various live broadcasts have been able to clearly show the living conditions of the astronauts inside the spacecraft.

Since the maximum number of people a Starship spacecraft can carry is 100, this time it only carried 6 astronauts, and there was plenty of space for everyone to move around, which actually reduced the difficulty of astronauts' life in space by a level.

"Dmitri, do you think China can successfully achieve a manned moon landing this time?"

Although Grogin already had the answer in his mind, he still wanted to get an answer from Dmitri.

"As long as there are no special circumstances, this time it will definitely be successful."

"I heard that Venusstar Technology's starships are now built directly using an assembly line production model."

"In this way, the quality of each starship can be kept highly uniform. As long as one ship is tested without problems, the others are likely to be fine."

Dmitri was in a very complicated mood as he discussed the topic of Venus Technology with Grogin.

The gap between us is so huge that there is no way to feel jealous.

Besides, their cooperation with Venusstar Technology is becoming more and more in-depth.

Next year, there will even be polar bear astronauts landing on the moon on the Starship spacecraft of Venus Technology.

"Venus Technology is going to change the world."

"Now, countries around the world are more enthusiastic about developing the moon."

"Tianzhu even launched a lunar orbit satellite a few days ago. It seems that they are unwilling to be excluded from the moon."

Grogin and Dmitri were just chatting, and they no longer had any thoughts of surpassing Venus Technology.

The situation is similar at the European Space Agency.

Even in the United States, the reaction within NASA was not as big as in previous times.

It has been known for a long time that Venustech Technologies is going to achieve manned lunar landing.

Now all that is left is for this news to become a fact.

"Musco, based on the data we have collected, collated and analyzed so far, it is estimated that our starship spacecraft will have to wait until 2020 to reach the level of Venus technology, and even have to wait until 2025 to achieve manned lunar landing."

Max has been busy with SpaceX's own Starship spacecraft project recently.

Due to the stimulation from China, the relevant departments in the United States have also become much more enthusiastic about this project.

Both NASA and companies like Boeing have provided a lot of technical and personnel support.

It can be said that their project progressed a little faster than initially expected.

But the more information they learned about Venustech, the more Max's worries became.

Because he found that the gap between SpaceX and Venus Technologies not only did not narrow, but widened.

This is a very difficult thing to accept.

"By 2020, their lunar outpost will have been built, and the first lunar base will probably be completed, not to mention 2025."

"This speed is still too slow."

Musk was a little dissatisfied.

However, he also knew that researching starships was not that easy, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Do you think it's possible to ask the rich people in the Middle East to purchase a starship, and then we can find a way to get more information about the starship?"

Since the right way doesn't work, Max naturally wants to think of some unorthodox ways.

However, Musk thinks this path is unlikely to work.

“Let’s not talk about whether Venustech will sell it or not. Even if it is sold to those countries in the Middle East, they will definitely not be able to operate it. Venustech’s technicians will still be responsible for it.”

"Under this situation, it is not realistic for us to obtain any important information. Even if we put a real spacecraft in front of us, it may not be of much reference value."

“The use of various materials and system development and design inside cannot be figured out simply by looking at the real thing.”

After Musko said this, Max couldn't help but nodded beside him. This was indeed the truth.

But this won't work, and that won't work either. Are we just going to watch China become more and more powerful?

This is not something he can accept.

……

"Landing successful!"

Along with this report, Venus Technology's starship spacecraft successfully landed on the surface of the moon again.

The six astronauts were in very good condition and soon appeared on the surface of the moon together, where they took the first group photo of the Chinese people.

As for the five-star red flag, it is flying on each lunar rover.

The lunar rover carried this time has changed compared to the previous one.

One of the vehicles is designed to allow astronauts to move around in a simple spacesuit, which will definitely be very helpful for future in-depth exploration of the moon.

Two batches of supplies have arrived on the moon before. This time, the manned spacecraft will not simply take a few photos and then go home.

On the contrary, this time they are preparing to build an outpost and move some equipment to the moon.

The starship spacecraft has a large carrying capacity, and the preparation work this time is actually equivalent to building a simple space station on the surface of the moon.

The only difference is that this space station is not located in the air, but is built directly on the surface of the moon.

Because various tasks have been simulated on the ground countless times, most of the content is left to the programmer.

So everything went very smoothly.

After today, China's first outpost on the moon will be officially built.

The two astronauts officially entered this outpost and lived there for three days before returning to the starship and starting their return to Earth.

"Boss Cao, this test was very successful. I think we can start large-scale transportation of supplies now."

"After the outpost is further expanded, our next manned spacecraft will be able to start directing the construction of a lunar base and some mineral resource refining plants."

Zhao Siyu now feels like he is floating when he walks. He feels that his life has reached its peak.

In the future, he will definitely have his own name in Chinese history.

"Everything is going according to plan. Let everyone see the power of China's industrial capacity after it explodes."

Following Cao Yang's instructions, in the next month, starships carrying various equipment and supplies will head towards the moon almost every week.

The moon, which has been deserted for so many years, is now becoming a little lively.

China TV also took this opportunity to shoot a documentary, and the ratings broke records.

The science fiction movie that Nanshan Film and Television is focusing on this summer also broke the record set by "The Wandering Earth".

Thanks to the emergence of Venusstar Technology, Chinese consumers' interest in science fiction movies has risen several levels.

This change actually brings about a change in the overall cultural confidence, and the impact is immeasurable.

……

"Mr. Cao, our graphene battery research has been successful, and we will start mass production at Nanshan Battery next month."

As Nanshan Chemical conquered the large-scale production of graphene last year, the graphene batteries they developed together with Nanshan Battery are also progressing rapidly.

In the future, when these batteries are used in products such as lunar rovers, the benefits they will bring will obviously be even greater.

With the breakthrough in graphene technology, the quality of solar panels produced by Nanshan Equipment has also risen to a new level.

With gallium nitride power components and new graphene materials, today's solar panels can be made smaller, while the solar energy conversion efficiency becomes higher.

This impact is absolutely huge for the aerospace industry.

Various space stations, for example, require solar panels to provide energy.

Smaller solar panels can now deliver more energy, a benefit that is difficult to quantify.

"Graphene has great potential. We can expand on the directions you mentioned last time and try to apply various new technologies to the aerospace industry, new energy, and biomedicine, so that our comprehensive strength can be taken to a higher level."

Cao Yang is still full of expectations for graphene.

If humans want to continuously make technological breakthroughs, the emergence of new materials is essential.

From the emergence of ceramics to the emergence of bronze and iron, they have brought tremendous changes to mankind.

Therefore, in recent years, Nanshan-affiliated companies have also made enormous investments in research and development in the field of basic materials.

To exaggerate a little, the research funds on basic materials of all other companies in China combined may not be as much as that of Nanshan Group's companies.

Of course, researching basic materials is extremely expensive and it is difficult to produce results in the short term.

If it weren't for a highly profitable company like the Nanshan Group, an ordinary company would really not be able to hold on.

"No problem. The current research and development is going smoothly. Various new materials and products with added graphene will achieve technological breakthroughs one after another."

"Especially for sensors used in various aerospace industries, their performance has been greatly improved after the materials have been changed, which should have a very good effect on the subsequent construction of the lunar base."

Lai Yuanhong is now full of confidence in the future of Nanshan Chemical.

Although Nanshan Chemical is not very large in China's chemical industry, its influence is not small at all.

The materials they produce are high-end, which cannot be compared with ordinary chemical plants.

The most important thing is that Nanshan Chemical has strong R&D capabilities. The number of R&D technicians is several times that of production workers, which is very rare in the chemical industry.

"The aerospace industry will be the industry with the greatest development potential in the future, and we have already felt this change."

"Although we have taken some advantages at this stage, we still have a long way to go before we can completely monopolize this industry."

"The breakthrough here is inseparable from the breakthrough in basic materials."

"When the time comes, you will work together with Nanshan Carbon Fiber and Nanshan Special Steel to develop more new materials."

As member companies of Nanshan Energy Group, these companies have a resounding reputation in the industry.

Any company is technologically competitive in the world and has produced many globally unique products.

……

Technological breakthroughs often occur in many aspects.

If you have made breakthroughs in some areas, they will often have the same promoting effect in many other areas.

For example, Nanshan Precision Instruments has continuously produced results in the past two years and has become a new giant in China's medical equipment field.

The market share of Philips and Siemens Medical in China has been declining drastically. Even in the global market, Nanshan Precision Instruments has begun to compete with them for market share.

"Mr. Cao, the relevant department has just issued a regulation requiring all domestic hospitals to give priority to purchasing domestic instruments and equipment, and has specifically listed our various products on the list as priority purchase targets."

"If similar products use imported equipment instead of ours, the relevant hospitals and research institutes must submit written explanation materials to the ministries and commissions, and can only purchase them after obtaining approval."

Although there have been some similar support policies before, the intensity was definitely not as great as this time.

Cao Yang himself could naturally feel this change easily.

It seems that Venusstar Technology has been so powerful recently, and relevant departments have also begun to fully support the development and growth of Nanshan-based companies.

In particular, foreign giants still occupy a relatively large market share in China. As long as Nanshan-based companies can compete, they will receive support.

As the situation in America changes, everyone can already feel that the international market will undergo tremendous changes in the future.

After China joins the WTO, it will face new challenges in the international trade environment.

Since this step is inevitable, China must find a way to prepare in advance.

Fortunately, during this period, except for areas such as oil and iron ore, where China's dependence on foreign countries is still relatively high, many other products have been largely domestically produced.

The most typical ones are chips and various high-end equipment. There is no way outside to strangle China anymore.

This is very important.

It is also because of this that China now appears to be full of confidence when facing various international affairs.

After all, I have ways to deal with you, but you don't have many tricks to deal with me, or I'm not very afraid of the tricks you use to deal with me, so the initiative is naturally in my hands.
