Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Venus Technology's first lunar exploration was successfully completed, but the impact it brought was far from disappearing so easily.

In the next few months, various news related to the moon will be on the hot search from time to time.

Venus Technology and some other scientific research institutions have conducted various analyses on the lunar soil, and a lot of results have been produced one after another.

Why is the lunar soil so precious?

You know, the surface of the moon is almost completely covered with lunar soil. When the lander arrives at the lunar surface for detection, the lunar dust raised by the lunar soil will cover the surface of various sensors and fill the gaps in the mechanism, directly posing a safety threat to the mission.

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

When astronauts go out of 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 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, while there are basically no helium bubbles in the crystal inside the particles."

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

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

Combined with the recent analysis, Zhao Siyu specially arranged a report to personally explain the situation of lunar soil to Cao Yang.

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

"What does this mean?"

Cao Yang understood every word Zhao Siyu said.

But he didn't understand what it meant.

"This means that if we break the surface glass, we can extract helium-3 stored in the form of bubbles at room temperature. Moreover, ilmenite has weak magnetism, and it can be separated from other lunar soil particles by magnetic screening, which is convenient for in-situ mining on the moon."

"By extracting helium-3 by heating up the lunar soil samples brought back from the moon in stages, our researchers 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 felt it.

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

There is a large amount of helium-3 on the moon, which is scarce on the earth. This was confirmed by scientists in 1985 through the 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 12.5 times the nuclear fission reaction of uranium-235.

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

In addition, helium-3 is a key refrigerant for obtaining 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, and the reserves of helium-3 are only about 0.5 tons, which cannot meet the existing demand at all.

The reserves of helium-3 on the moon are amazing, 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 irradiated by 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 and technological community has set off a "gold rush" on the moon since the end of the 20th century, but in-situ and efficient mining of helium-3 has always been a technical problem.

Previous studies have shown that helium-3 dissolves in lunar soil particles, and the extraction of helium-3 is limited by the diffusion rate, requiring a high temperature of more than 700°C, which not only consumes a lot of energy, but also is slow, which is not conducive to in-situ mining on the moon.

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

This means that the helium-3 on the moon has the value of easy use.

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

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

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 the enthusiasm be higher.

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

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

But now they are already behind, and even if they reconsider, it is not a task that can be completed in a short time.

By then, Venusstar Technology will have been able to embark on a virtuous cycle by mining minerals on the moon.

"No problem, we are now in close contact with Nanshan Equipment, and have carried out research and development on some equipment for the previously planned lunar base, and even some of the equipment has been produced for testing."

"As long as the Starship spacecraft successfully completes the lunar 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 completed, Venusstar Technology will inevitably become the most famous company in the world, and its future is limitless.

"Since you have already thought about it, let's act as soon as possible."

Cao Yang did not ask so many details. He just knew the overall progress and understood the next direction of effort.

Just as Venusstar Technology was preparing for the next lunar landing activity, a small video that suddenly appeared on the Chinese Internet suddenly attracted the attention of many people.

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

As long as wild boars appear in the farmland to cause damage, they will be detected by the radar, and then the drone will automatically drive them away.

What surprised everyone the most was that a civilian version of the phased array radar that can monitor 100 targets within a radius of 5 to 10 kilometers at the same time has an astonishingly low price of only a few thousand yuan.

It really makes people sigh!

After the host introduced this situation, domestic netizens did not react at first, but the American host discovered the extraordinary thing first.

After people reposted this video, it quickly received millions of hits in the United States.

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

Now everyone knows why this video can be 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 it was known before that after Venusstar Technology applied gallium nitride power components to phased array radars, China's radar technology had a huge breakthrough.

But now even drones that drive wild boars use phased array radars, which is too exaggerated.

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

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

"With abundant and cheap gallium nitride power components, and their T/R component technology is very successful, China's phased array radar technology is very powerful, which is almost inevitable."

Lawrence's words made John feel cold in his heart.

Why can't I hear any good news recently?

This won't work.

He couldn't accept the fact that all walks of life in the United States were surpassed by China.

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

All kinds of products have begun to bring great pressure to the United States.

From the small to the big, a phased array radar technology can feel a great threat.

People use this kind of radar in a large number of civilian products, so can military products be bad?

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

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

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

Their gallium nitride power components are purchased from other semiconductor manufacturers, and they have no way to produce them themselves.

In this case, he couldn't answer without communicating well with the chip manufacturers.

And almost at the same time when this video went viral, a Chinese electronic reconnaissance ship appeared in the eastern waters, specifically to detect an exercise of the relevant team in Japan.

The electronic reconnaissance ships produced by Nanshan Semiconductor and other Nanshan enterprises in cooperation with Wenchong Shipyard are now China's main maritime reconnaissance force.

They not only have strong reconnaissance capabilities, but also have powerful electronic warfare capabilities.

Many countries have suffered losses.

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

Such a shameful thing, the Japanese side naturally knows who did it.

So apart from secretly protesting, they dare not publicize it.

However, someone in Japan exposed the news, and even had a video.

At this point, things immediately became interesting.

"Mr. Cao, the relevant departments are now very satisfied with the electronic reconnaissance ships produced by you and Wenchong Shipyard."

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

"I also saw the news on Weibo. It seems that the Japanese have lost face this time."

Mi Ying prepares the hot news of the previous day for Cao Yang every morning, so although Cao Yang himself does not have so much time to check his phone, he is always very clear about the hot news on the Internet.

"Yes, Japan has always boasted about how powerful its maritime power is, especially more than a decade ago, thinking that its strength is stronger than the entire China."

"But now is different from the past. Our maritime power is no longer comparable to Japan."

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

"Not to mention that we also have aircraft carriers."

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

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 Venusstar Technology.

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

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

"We now have a large number of fighter jets, drones, and bombers equipped in relevant departments, and have formed a new set of fighting methods."

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

"I guess the United States is worried about how to deal with our rise in the future."

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 a lot of changes to this country.

More than a decade ago, no one could have imagined that China's strength could be so strong.

The lion of the East has completely woken up.

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

Especially those countries around China, if they want to catch the ride of China's development, they naturally have to make more changes.

Otherwise, they can only follow the United States.

And this choice is obviously not a good choice.

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

"Under such circumstances, America's approach is slowly becoming unpopular."

"In the future, America will no longer have the final say in this world."

The two had a heated exchange in the office.

In response to these changes in China, America naturally did not take any action.

It's just that no one expected that America's new action would expose a huge soft spot.
