Chapter 979 Global Focus, Lunar Research Station Concept Video Released

While Venustech is continuously launching components of the lunar orbital space station, the Chang'e space station has also reached a new historical node.

The entire space station is rarely full at the pace of accommodating up to 9 astronauts.

The European Space Agency's co-astronauts, the Emirates' co-astronauts, and the Chinese astronauts all gathered together at the Chang'e space station, creating a new record.

So the popularity of topics related to the space station on the Chinese Internet in recent days is definitely high.

And this time the impact is not only in China, but also in Europe and the Middle East. Reports about the Chang'e space station.

Especially for people in the Middle East, this is their first time to board the space station, which is of extraordinary significance.

Venustech has implemented the contract so quickly, which also makes the future cooperation between the two parties more possible.

Even some countries that were originally a little hesitant have begun to find Venustech to discuss cooperation projects.

"Mr. Cao, according to the current trend, our future lunar orbital space station and Chang'e space station can rely on their own profits to maintain development."

"There is no need to worry about losing money in the future lunar base. Even if the early construction funds may require tens of billions of RMB, or even hundreds of billions of RMB, they can eventually be quickly earned back through various cooperation plans."

Zhao Siyu is very excited now.

For a long time, most people think that the aerospace industry is a loss-making industry and it is difficult to make money.

Especially when it comes to entering outer space, most of them are not promoted from an economic perspective.

But Venustech can turn the development of entering space and entering the moon into a profitable business.

In this way, it can continue to develop rapidly according to the company's development model and enter a positive cycle rhythm.

"The attraction of the space station is not that strong yet. The reason why the Chang'e space station can quickly recover its cost is mainly due to the special contribution of the Emirates."

"But the situation of the lunar base is completely different. The attraction of this thing is definitely many times greater than that of the space station."

"By then, let alone $10 million per person per day, even if it is $100 million per day, there will be a lot of countries that will take the initiative to come and discuss cooperation."

After Cao Yang said this, Zhao Siyu couldn't help but nodded.

If Venus Technology really builds a lunar base, even if the scale is not particularly large, the significance is extraordinary.

For example, the wealthy countries in the Middle East, although they throw out billions of dollars, in order to allow their own people to land on the moon, this is a very normal thing.

Even if the cooperation projects are more extensive, it is not impossible to directly take out $20 billion for cooperation like the Emirates did before.

The key is that by then, it will definitely not only be the wealthy in the Middle East who are interested, but also other powerful countries, one by one, will be interested.

Even a country like the United States, which is very hostile to Venustech, will probably find a way to cooperate.

After all, that is a scene that can only appear in science fiction movies. When it is reflected in reality, the impact it brings is absolutely huge.

"To build a base on the moon, there are many issues that need to be considered."

"Safety issues are the first thing to face. After all, meteorites often fall on the moon. If it is hit, the loss is completely unbearable."

"One of the important tasks of the lunar orbit satellite we will launch in the next stage is to understand the topography of the moon."

"If we can find some natural caves and directly transform them into a lunar base, it will not only solve the problem of meteorite impact, but also greatly reduce the cost of building the base."

"In addition to safety issues, energy is also a very critical link."

"We already have experts in this area." The team of the door is studying miniaturized nuclear power devices, and there is even a special scientific research team doing research related to nuclear fusion. "

"If there is a big breakthrough in this area in the future, it will be very critical to maintain the operation of the lunar base."

"Other diet and drinking water problems, on the contrary, have some ways to solve them."

"We have cooperated with some domestic companies and universities to study the ecosystem in the space environment and how to achieve the recycling of key products such as oxygen and water in space."

"I believe that the results in this area will soon appear slowly."

Zhao Siyu quickly introduced to Cao Yang the preparations for the lunar base by Venustech.

After the technical strength reaches a certain level, many plans that sound a bit far-fetched have the opportunity to be implemented slowly.

Even Venustech has some special competitions with dozens of universities in China in order to obtain more relevant ideas and design plans.

After all, sometimes, a thought that comes in sync can solve a very critical problem.

College students provide an idea, and Venustech thinks it is meaningful and arranges technical personnel to implement it.

In the end, it may play a very big role.

"Venus Technology is promoting a lot of large projects. Recently, we have recruited more than 3,000 new people every month, and the expenditures in various aspects are quite large."

"Although there are some recovery projects now, the profits of other brother companies are also very good."

"But we have to try our best to find ways to develop it into a state of sustained profitability, or even substantial profitability."

"Relying on the current projects alone is obviously not enough. We need to attract some funds from the international community."

"Since our lunar base-related research has been ongoing and has already achieved some results, there is no need to wait. We can directly release the concept video of the lunar scientific research station to attract a wave of global attention, and then start in advance. Receive cooperation applications from customers.”

When Cao Yang said this, Zhao Siyu immediately felt that this was feasible.

Anyway, I'm not buying or selling by force.

The proposal tells everyone the plan for the first phase, allowing interested countries to start sending money to seize early cooperation opportunities.

For example, if the first batch of stationed personnel in this scientific research station is planned to be 100, then there is no problem in using half of the quota to attract investment in the international market.

At that time, based on one month as a standard, the amount of cooperation for each person will be at least 3 billion US dollars.

As long as these 50 places are sold, it will be an astronomical sum, enough for Daystar Technology to burn money like crazy in the next few years.

After all, not to mention other things, Venus Technology alone now has more than 100,000 highly educated employees, and this scale will soon exceed 150,000, and then exceed 200,000.

The salary level of these people is very high, with an average annual salary of 7 to 8 million yuan, otherwise they will be easily poached.

Based on this calculation, the annual salary expenditure alone reaches hundreds of billions of yuan.

And this is only personnel salary expenditure, there are many other various research and development expenditures.

In the end, the annual fixed cost expenditure definitely exceeded 200 billion yuan.

Why do aerospace science and technology produce much less scientific research results every year than Venus science and technology?

By comparing these investments, we can see part of the reason.

To maintain such a high investment, or even have greater investment in the future, it will definitely not be enough to just sell products such as drones and heavy transport helicopters now.

Searching for a batch of lunar base investments in advance needs to be put on the agenda.

"This is indeed a good way to raise funds, but if our project is not completed on time and we have to refund the money, it will be very stressful."

Zhao Siyu explained the risks of this matter.

However, Cao Yang had a completely different idea, saying: "We stipulated these cooperation funds in the contract from the beginning, and they are non-refundable!"

"We are not forcing anyone. There are some terms that everyone can discuss."

"But there are some standards that have no room for negotiation."

"On this basis, if someone is willing to cooperate, then cooperate, if not, then not cooperate."

"We can even cooperate not only with personnel entering the base, but also with some laboratories in the lunar scientific research station."

"For example, a certain country can reserve the right to use a biological laboratory in advance, and then they can arrange for their own personnel to conduct experiments or sublease it to astronauts from other countries."

When Cao Yang said this, Zhao Siyu couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Can you still play like this?

It seems that my previous thinking was not broad enough!

"This is indeed a very good direction. I will convene relevant personnel within the company to discuss it later and come up with a cooperation template as soon as possible."

"As for the concept video of the moon base, we have actually produced it before, and now we just need to process it a little bit."

After Zhao Siyu finished speaking, he couldn't wait to implement this matter.

I never thought I could get funds in advance like this.

Now that the idea has been opened up, it is natural to implement it as soon as possible.

"The name Lunar Base seems a bit sensitive. When we promote it, let's use Lunar Research Station first."

Cao Yang is not afraid of trouble, but there is no point in exaggerating his threats. There is no need to do such thankless things.

Besides, what Venus Technology just started building was indeed a lunar scientific research station.

Only when the scale grows in the future will it slowly become a base.

In this base, with the commissioning of some factories, there are a lot of things that can be done.

To be self-sufficient in growing some vegetables, processing and producing some food, and even starting to develop the mining industry, the prospects are worth looking forward to.

However, for Venus Technology and China, this is something worth looking forward to.

But for other countries around the world, the situation is definitely more special.

So when the official WeChat account of Daystar Technology released the concept video of the lunar research station, it immediately aroused a huge response.

Cao Yang himself must repost it first and then say, "I look forward to seeing you all on the moon."

Many other celebrities have also forwarded it, not to mention the stars of Nanshan Film and Television.

One by one, they all forwarded this video and expressed their good expectations.

"It's so cool, it's like a science fiction movie."

"When I saw that Nanshan Film and Television's official account also forwarded the concept video of the lunar research station, I thought they had a new movie to shoot, but I didn't expect that it wasn't a movie!"

"I can't even imagine that one day we can build such a base on the moon. It's really awesome!"

"The products produced by Nanshan must be high-quality products. Mr. Cao will not deceive me!"

"According to the scale of this scientific research station, at least dozens, or even hundreds, of people can live in it. The meaning is really very different."

"Hurry up and arrange to open a mine! Open a factory!"

"When will this lunar scientific research station be built? I can't wait for this day to come."

"The Morning Star is so majestic that it is preparing to bring a huge surprise to everyone without saying anything."

"This is too awesome. The earth can no longer satisfy the wishes of Venus Technology."

…

Various comments have made the topic of lunar scientific research stations extremely popular.

Some celebrities who were preparing to officially announce their relationships or hype up scandals have adjusted their arrangements.

China Channel even specially arranged an interview team to come to Daystar Technology to interview Zhao Siyu, and then the interview was also broadcast on News Network.

It can be said that in China, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the lunar scientific research station.

However, the situation in the United States is definitely the opposite.

"Masco, we can't wait any longer!"

"The moon landing must be started as soon as possible, and the research and development speed of your starship spacecraft project needs to be further strengthened."

"I have specifically communicated with the relevant departments, and they have agreed to approve part of the funds for our project."

Gryffin was a little frustrated now.

Daystar Technology is also very capable of causing trouble.

The concept video of the lunar scientific research station was released so quickly.

Based on the previous work style of Venus Technology, wouldn't it be true that this lunar research station will be built in a few years?

How can you endure this kind of thing?

As the most powerful country in the universe, if they want to build a scientific research station on the moon, they must build it first, right?

Where can I find a private enterprise in China?

"This lunar scientific research station is not that easy to build. There are many problems that need to be solved."

"And the moon is also a certain distance from the earth, so there are many issues that need to be considered for the movement in between."

"A large number of people live on the moon, and there are countless problems that need to be solved."

"As long as any detail is not done well, devastating problems may occur."

Naturally, Musko also saw the concept video of the Venus Technology version of the lunar research station that is widely circulated in the global aerospace field.

Objectively speaking, this concept video is very well done.

Many of the contents in it can withstand scrutiny.

It even feels like the content was shot in an actual scientific research station.

"I believe Daystar Technology must have realized these things you mentioned."

"It's impossible for them to set up a scientific research station on the moon that is completely useless."

"But Daystar Technology still released such a video, which shows that they have solved many of the problems in it."

"This is something we need to pay attention to."

Griffin can't wait to catch up with the development pace of Daystar Technology.

He was worried that as long as he failed to catch up once, the gap between everyone behind him would become wider and wider.

This possibility is not impossible.

"If we want to make a breakthrough in this area as soon as possible, it is necessary to provide sufficient financial and technical support."

"The reason why China has developed so fast in this area has a lot to do with their advantages in capital and technical personnel."

"Not to mention other things, Daystar Technology alone has hundreds of thousands of engineers, which is not comparable to Space Exploration Technology Company."

Masco did not directly reject Griffin's proposal, but he directly raised the issue.

If this problem can be solved, Musko is still confident that he can catch up with Daystar Technology.

"Relevant departments should be able to wake up a little this time, but this year is a critical year for the election, and many people's attention is not where it should be."

"I will also find a way to communicate with the Ministry of Energy and others to see how to provide Tesla with some subsidies so that Tesla's stock price can have a greater breakthrough."

"At that time, you will have more funds at your disposal, and it will be much easier than applying for funds from relevant departments."

Grantham naturally knew that it was not easy to get some unplanned funds back.

If there were other options, he would definitely not want to use this content.

"If Tesla can provide more financial support, I will naturally be willing to invest more money to develop the projects of Space Exploration Technology Company."

Masko's eyes lit up.

If NASA helps Tesla increase its stock price, the effect will definitely be there.

As Tesla's major shareholder, Musko's net worth will definitely rise.

The enthusiasm for doing things will naturally come up.

"I will also invite people from Boeing, Lockheed Martin and other companies together next week to discuss whether we can jointly invest to land on the moon and build a lunar base."

"This will also greatly ease your financial pressure."

Granfen felt that it was necessary to call together all the best in the fields of aerospace in the United States at this time.

Let's discuss it carefully to see if there is any way to deal with the current situation.

Otherwise, when everything has become a fact, there will be very little they can do.

"I personally have no objection. After all, the Starship project is expected to burn tens of billions of dollars. It is definitely meaningful to find more companies to amortize these costs."

Musco spread his hands and directly expressed his thoughts.

Granfen was relieved about this.

Musco doesn't mind, so this matter will be easy to handle.

NASA's reaction is so big, and the polar bear's is actually similar.

As the only two countries that have landed on the moon, although they have no plans to land on the moon in recent years, they will naturally be nervous if other countries want to build a scientific research station on the moon.

"Grotin, will we continue to cooperate with Venus Technology this time?"

Dmitri's mood at this time is quite complicated.

Although the continuous cooperation with Venus Technology is the general direction that has been determined before.

But after seeing the concept video of the other party's lunar scientific research station, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Is the gap between Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Company so big?

This kind of scientific research station, which looks huge, is actually built on the moon!

If Venus Technology moved the things of a space station to the moon, it would be a little more acceptable.

But this kind of scientific research station that can accommodate at least dozens of people to work there for a long time is completely different.

Even if they want to do it themselves, without cooperating with Venus Technology, they have no confidence.

Looking around the world, even in the United States, there is no way to really build a lunar scientific research station in the short term.

This is terrifying.

When did China's strength reach such a high level?

"Is it okay not to cooperate?"

Grogin's simple question directly made Dmitri speechless.

Yes!

Is it okay not to cooperate?

If they don't cooperate, when can the polar bears land on the moon again?

If they don't cooperate, what if Venus Technology makes any major discoveries on the moon, then it will have nothing to do with the polar bears?

If they don't cooperate, what if Venus Technology builds an underground city on the moon in the future, will the polar bears still participate?

So even if it's uncomfortable in my heart, I must cooperate.

Otherwise it will be more disadvantageous to the polar bears.

"Such a lunar research station must require a huge investment."

"Venus Technology is a company, and they are not doing welfare."

"It is probably very difficult for us to participate deeply."

"Even if it is simply to arrange one or two astronauts to enter their research station, the cost will be very high."

It has to be said that Dmitri's guess is still very accurate.

It's not so easy to get this ticket.

However, even if you know that the ticket is expensive, you have to pay for it.

Otherwise, you should never participate.

"We don't need to worry about the cost issue for now. Let the relevant departments make the judgment when the time comes."

"The most urgent thing is to contact Venustech first and figure out the other party's plans and cooperation terms."

"Otherwise, it's meaningless for us to just think about it behind closed doors."

Grogin said this, and Dmitri did not refute it.

After all, this is indeed the case.

For this reason, they even flew to Guangzhou in advance to discuss more in-depth cooperation with Venustech.
