Chapter 978 Lunar Orbital Space Station Sets Off

One arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet.

Under the joint promotion of Nanshan Automobile Group and Yangcheng Huaqiang Group, Volvo Cars, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Qiantu Automobile and other companies have stated that they will begin to use a new generation of hot stamping technology in a certain product to provide consumers with safety beyond expectations.

This is the first time that the hot stamping process has entered the vision of ordinary people on a large scale.

With the development and growth of China's automobile industry, people's attention and awareness of things related to automobile safety and performance are constantly increasing.

In the end, this seemingly boring technology has also become a hot search.

However, this kind of heat is definitely not that high, and it was soon taken away by the news of a celebrity's divorce.

At this time, Venus Technology once again made a big move.

The lunar orbital space station has officially started to be launched and assembled!

Using the Venus 9 MAX rocket, it will be launched in twelve times to complete the assembly of the space station within this year.

This speed is definitely beyond the imagination of many people.

Venus Technology never brags when it says it will do it.

Fortunately, Chinese netizens have become accustomed to the fact that Venustech launches rockets into space every week, so they are not surprised.

However, some overseas media and peers have reacted much more strongly.

"Granfin, didn't you say before that the relevant departments have approved NASA to build a new generation of space stations?"

"Why can't the funds be implemented?"

Musko was not very interested in the construction of space stations. He always wanted to develop rocket technology and then go directly to Mars.

However, he could not resist the various actions of Venustech, which made him feel great pressure.

He began to doubt whether his original idea was wrong.

Since NASA wants to build a space station and land on the moon according to the rhythm of Venustech, then SpaceX should cooperate with it.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the distance between Venustech and NASA is getting bigger and bigger.

"Don't mention it. Some people in the relevant departments have different opinions. Everyone thinks that developing moon landing and building space stations is a waste of money."

"Especially the previous international space station, we have spent more than 100 billion US dollars, but the benefits obtained are very limited."

"In this case, it will cost at least tens of billions of dollars to build a new space station and develop new moon landing technology. Naturally, there are many people who oppose it."

Granfen is also very tired.

Originally, he thought that NASA's new generation of space station could be officially started this year and would be completed and put into use at the latest next year.

Now it seems that the situation is completely different.

It is completely impossible for NASA to make a quick decision like Venus Technology.

It is estimated that in the field of space, the gap between NASA and Venus Technology will continue to widen. This is an inevitable outcome.

He is definitely unwilling to accept this.

"We can continue to develop the Starship spacecraft project without relying on funding from relevant departments, and it will be the company's key development direction."

"But for space station-related projects, if relevant departments do not provide financial support, our Space Exploration Technology Company will not be able to participate in them."

Masco is not stupid.

He will not throw money into a bottomless pit unless he has other purposes.

"This time, China's Venus Technology has directly started the construction of the lunar orbital space station. According to the construction speed of the Chang'e space station before, Venus Technology will be able to complete the construction of this lunar orbital space station within the next three months."

"By then, they will be one step closer to the goal of officially landing on the moon."

"Even using this lunar orbital space station, they can implement various scientific research plans well, and can deploy some lunar orbital satellites at any time to detect various information on the moon."

"This is definitely not good news for us."

Granfen said anxiously.

Although many Americans think that the moon is nothing, they have landed on it decades ago.

And nothing particularly valuable was found.

Now the Chinese want to make trouble, let them make trouble, they just watch the fun.

But Griffin doesn't think so.

"Venus Technology said that the next step is to land on the moon and build a lunar base on the moon. This will indeed make us very passive."

"According to international rules, the moon is now a no-man's land."

"But according to some current rules, if the Chinese build a base on the moon and publish relevant maps, then they will have sovereignty over these new continents."

"This matter will become more and more complicated."

Musk is an American.

They have a very common idea, that is, I can not have it, but if I don't allow it, you can't have it.

Their mentality towards the moon is the most obvious.

"So we still have to think of a way to promote our plan as soon as possible."

Griffin has no better way, so he can only take one step at a time.

Although America is so powerful, it is not omnipotent.

Compared to the entanglement of the United States, the European Space Agency has thought much more clearly.

Anyway, there has been a cooperation case with the Chang'e space station before, and now they are considering cooperation on the lunar orbital space station, which does not feel out of place at all.

So after seeing that Venus Technology began to launch the lunar orbital space station, Werner immediately called Joseph, the technical director, to come to him.

"We will go to Venus Technology again in the near future to discuss with them about the lunar orbital space station and even some cooperation in the future moon landing project."

After admitting that he was not good enough, many things became easier to handle.

Werner no longer worried about how to let the European Space Agency surpass Venus Technology.

Because that was a task that could not be completed at all.

It would be better to think about how to take a ride.

"Well, I also think it would be better to start discussing these cooperation as soon as possible, so that there will be more content to talk about."

"Both the United States and the polar bears have landed on the moon, but we don't know much about a lot of related information."

"This time, China is actively promoting the moon landing project, which is our best opportunity to further understand the situation on the moon."

"If we miss it, we don't know when there will be a more suitable opportunity in the future."

Joseph naturally supports further cooperation with Venus Technology.

This way, his pressure will be much less.

Otherwise, everyone forces their technology center to come up with new technologies to compete with Venus Technology every day, and he can't do it.

If new technologies are really that easy to research, they would have already existed long ago.

Do we still have to wait until now?

After all, not every organization is like Venus Technology, like a freak.

"Venus Technology only said before that it would go to the moon and build a lunar base, but the specific content has never been announced to the public."

"It would be very meaningful if we could take this opportunity to find out their specific promotion plan this time."

Whether we need to further deepen cooperation with Venus Technology in the future is also closely related to the other party's plan.

These things all need to be discussed with Venus Technology.

...

The one with similar ideas to the European Space Agency is the Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Company.

A few months ago, they just reached a major cooperation agreement with Venus Technology.

It is normal to continue to discuss more cooperation now.

However, the European Space Agency and the Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Company have different ideas, and the Tianzhu side is completely different.

"Sharma, the Chinese are moving faster and faster."

"The relevant departments are urging us again, even if we can't achieve the moon landing, there is no way to build a space station."

"But our spacecraft must appear in the lunar orbit and on the moon as soon as possible."

As the head of the Tianzhu space organization, Lahar is also very troubled now.

Taking advantage of the rapid development of China's aerospace industry, he applied for a lot more funds from the relevant departments.

Objectively speaking, the development speed of the Tianzhu Space Organization in recent years is still very fast.

Except for a few traditional giants, the strength of other countries' aerospace agencies is still far behind them.

But the Tianzhu people like to compare with China the most. The more they compare, the greater the gap, and the greater the pressure on Lahar.

"If we only launch a lunar orbit satellite and land on the moon without considering the recovery of the lander, then it is still possible for us to quickly achieve these goals in the next few years."

Sharma knew that if he couldn't come up with some plans, Lahar would not be able to withstand the pressure.

At that time, the relevant departments might just pull their asses off.

So even if a fooling plan is put out, as long as it has a certain feasibility and can be useful in publicity, it is a good plan.

Otherwise, it will probably take ten or eight years to come up with a good plan like Venustech.

This is something that the relevant departments can't accept at all.

"If we just launch a satellite without setting up a space station, it's actually OK."

"At that time, we can send back some moon-related pictures, publicize them well, and relieve the pressure from all parties."

"As for the moon landing, find a way to communicate with the relevant departments to see if we can adopt some design elements of the airborne vehicle and drop a lander from the lunar orbiter."

"As long as we can ensure that the lander can take some photos normally after landing, it can be considered as a job."

"In the future, we can further develop a more advantageous lander on this basis."

Lahar quickly realized the superiority of Sharma's plan.

Anyway, no matter whether this plan is reliable or not, after the lander lands on the moon, their Tianzhu will be the fourth country in the world that can land on the moon.

In the future, we can also use the name of the moon landing to continuously apply for more funds from relevant departments.

Some of the funds will naturally go into his pocket.

"Then I will make the relevant plan as soon as possible and report to the higher authorities when the time comes."

Seeing that Lahar accepted his suggestion without any hesitation, Sharma couldn't help but smile.

Although the pressure was great, his wealth was also increasing.

…

For Venus Technology, launching rockets was just like a daily routine, and they launched one every now and then.

Less than a week after the first rocket carrying the components of the lunar orbit space station was launched, the second rocket set off again.

Watching the rocket successfully enter the predetermined orbit, begin to separate from the space station components, and each head towards the target.

Qian Junfeng, who watched the entire launch process with Cao Yang in the flight control hall of Venus Technology, was so moved that it was hard to describe it.

What they had been thinking about for so many years but had not been accomplished, was now accomplished step by step by Venus Technology.

At that time, there would be more than a dozen Chinese astronauts conducting various experiments in space every day, which was exciting to think about.

What made him even more excited was that Cao Yang officially told him about Venus Technology's moon landing plan.

"Mr. Cao, after your lunar orbital space station is completed, you will immediately launch an unmanned vehicle to land on the moon. Isn't the schedule a bit too tight?"

When the gap between everyone is large enough, there is often no envy and jealousy.

Qian Junfeng now hopes that all plans of Venusstar Technology can be implemented on time.

This is definitely a great thing for the whole of China.

"If it is just an unmanned lunar landing, it is actually not too fast."

"After all, we can already study some conditions in the lunar orbit on the Chang'e space station."

"During this period, we will also launch two lunar orbital satellites simultaneously, and together with the lunar orbital space station, we will form a comprehensive satellite monitoring system over the moon."

"With the space station as a repeater, these satellites can play a much greater role than everyone imagines."

"At that time, the lunar landing of our landing vehicle can also be fully combined with the information observed by the satellite to arrange."

For Venusstar Technology, the difficulty of unmanned lunar landing is not as high as imagined.

They themselves have a very deep technical foundation in recyclable rockets.

Nowadays, there is actually no problem in combining this technology with moon landing.

If there are people on the moon, it will be much more difficult.

If it is just carrying a lunar rover, it will be completely different.

Nanshan Automobile Group itself is the most powerful automobile company in China, and it is not difficult to cooperate with Venusstar Technology on the lunar rover.

At that time, it is even possible to directly combine the technology of Venusstar 9 with the lunar rover and then send the lunar rover to the moon.

At worst, some useful experience can be accumulated to prepare for the next step.

Today's Venusstar Technology can withstand the test of such failures and has enough funds to make several attempts.

The first step is to land an unmanned lunar rover on the moon.

The second step is to consider bringing a dog or a monkey to the moon.

When everything is fine, it is the turn of the moon landing hero to appear.

Once it succeeds once, more people and equipment can be arranged to land on the moon.

At that time, the work of the lunar base will be officially started.

"I still find it hard to believe that you will start the moon landing this year, consider manned moon landing activities next year, and start planning the moon base."

"If this content is released, I guess few people will believe it, right?"

Qian Junfeng knows that there are also arrangements for moon landing within Aerospace Science and Technology, and even the moon base has been discussed internally.

But according to the current plan, astronauts will not be arranged to land on the moon in the next ten years, and it will be very good to achieve this goal within fifteen years.

As for the moon base, it is something that needs to be considered after 2030.

But it's only 2015 now.

Venus Technology has actually started to consider the moon landing and the construction of a moon base.

Is it really that exaggerated?

"Time is running out."

"If we don't build the lunar base as soon as possible before everyone reacts, it will not be so easy to monopolize the moon in the future."

"According to the current pace, other countries will not be able to achieve manned lunar landing in the next ten years."

"As long as we successfully complete the manned lunar landing next year and start building the lunar base, we will basically have a lead time of about ten years to develop the lunar base."

"Even if the construction of the lunar base is slow at the beginning, after a certain accumulation, the subsequent base expansion will become much faster."

"After all, at that time, we can use part of the resources on the moon to build the base, and there will be more things to do."

After Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng had no way to refute.

After all, this pie is too tempting.

If China can really monopolize the moon, or not to say monopolize, it can build bases on the moon at will according to its own ideas, carry out various tests, and mine various resources, it is also a very meaningful thing.

Especially, there are some resources on the moon that are very scarce on the earth. If they can be mined, it may be profitable to transport them back from the moon.

Once such an industrial chain is formed, the significance is really great.

Whether China can once again restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties depends on the development of the lunar base.

"Mr. Cao, is there any hope that your starship will be developed and completed within the next three years?"

A scene suddenly popped up in Qian Junfeng's mind, that is, many Chinese engineers and people of all kinds, riding on the starship of Venus Technology to the moon.

By then, there will be thousands or even tens of thousands of people living in various bases on the moon in China.

That significance is extraordinary.

Many scenes in science fiction movies can slowly become reality.

"It should not be a big problem. Now we are preparing for the second ignition test."

"If there is no problem, it will be officially launched this year to see if there are any other problems."

Cao Yang still has great expectations for the starship.

Of course, the development difficulty of this product is also the highest among all the products of Venusstar Technology.

After all, such a large rocket has to carry 100 people at a time.

The safe survival of these 100 people alone is a huge challenge.

It can be said that this product is not allowed to have any safety hazards, otherwise it cannot be put into real use.

Otherwise, imagine that one day after waking up, you suddenly saw a news report saying that the starship of Venusstar Technology exploded in mid-air and all the 100 scientists on board were gone.

Who can withstand such pressure?

This is much more influential than an ordinary plane crash.

"If we can really complete the research and development of the starship in the next three years, then our Chinese aerospace industry will be completely ahead of the world."

"At that time, we can directly use the starship for manned lunar landing, so that the development speed of the lunar base can be rapidly improved."

"And it is also very convenient to use the starship to transport various equipment and supplies to the moon."

"It is estimated that many other countries will find ways to cooperate with you at that time."

Qian Junfeng couldn't help but imagine the future scene.

That is really exciting.

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to see such a scene during his tenure.

"There is no need to wait until the lunar base is built. Many countries are already full of interest in our aerospace cooperation."

"The European Space Agency and the Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Company will come to communicate with Venus Technology next month to deepen cooperation."

"Even Japan is trying to contact us and want to find opportunities for cooperation."

"There are also many countries in the Middle East that are interested in our plan."

"It can be said that except for the United States, most countries with some strength are very interested in cooperating with us."

When Cao Yang said this, Qian Junfeng opened his mouth in surprise.

Are polar bears and Europe so unrestrained?

It seems that I have to let Aerospace Science and Technology strengthen its cooperation with Venusstar Technology in the future.

Otherwise, the good resources will be divided up, and I will feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Cao, we are also traditional partners. Whether it is the lunar orbital space station or the moon landing project, the two sides can discuss further cooperation."

"Even the production of some parts can allow our factories under Aerospace Science and Technology to participate in it."

Although Venusstar Technology is also a Chinese enterprise, after all, everyone is not in the same system.

He also hopes that Aerospace Science and Technology can have a sense of existence.

"There is naturally no problem with cooperation."

"But it depends on what Aerospace Science and Technology can come up with."

Cao Yang is not opposed to cooperation with Aerospace Science and Technology. After all, in China, it is not realistic for Venusstar Technology to completely lead the development of the aerospace industry.

But Aerospace Science and Technology wants to get free stuff from me, which is definitely not possible.

If it really doesn't work, it is also possible to support those experienced R&D personnel.
