Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Compared with the twelve launches before the Chang'e space station, the launch and entry of manned spacecraft into the space station will definitely attract more attention.

Huaxia TV even started the live broadcast before the launch directly on the news channel.

There are many things that can be left for the host to explain, including the various ceremonies before the astronauts set out and the preparations inside the space station.

Of course, any space launch is actually prepared in advance.

When the launch is successful, the news report is written in advance.

Similarly, if there is any accident, the relevant reports are also prepared in advance.

Otherwise, it is easy to get flustered during the live broadcast, which is obviously something no one wants to see.

"Mr. Cao, although the polar bear and the United States have astronauts entering the space station a long time ago, we have always wanted to join the plan of the international space station, but we have not been allowed."

"For us, this trip to the space station is very different."

At this important moment today, Qian Junfeng naturally came to the Qiongzhou launch site with Cao Yang to watch the launch of the manned spacecraft in person.

Although the preparations for various aviation launches are long and time-consuming, the actual launch time is actually very short.

On the contrary, after launching into the sky, the docking work between the spacecraft and the space station takes more time.

However, Venusstar Technology has made great efforts in automated docking, which can greatly improve efficiency and complete the docking of various tasks within an hour.

It seems that it still takes a long time, but in fact, compared with other levels in the industry, it is already very fast.

Of course, there is room for compression.

With more dockings and more experience, the speed will naturally be faster.

Now, for the sake of insurance, it is definitely safer.

"In the future, it will be a matter of other countries applying to join the Chang'e Space Station. We have changed from athletes to referees."

"During this period, there are really many countries and institutions that have sought cooperation with us, and the European Space Agency is the most active."

"It seems that the Polar Bears don't want to miss the opportunity, and some other countries are also in contact."

"But at the beginning, it must be mainly our own astronauts, and then slowly open up in the future."

Cao Yang does not object to personnel from other institutions entering the Chang'e Space Station.

As long as the money is enough, it will be fine.

If the funds are enough, we can consider building a new space station for you.

Of course, it is estimated that no country will make such a request.

Countries with this idea will not give the task of building a space station to Venusstar Technology.

No matter which country it is, building a space station is a matter of training the technical team and greatly improving military strength.

In the process of building a space station, many technologies can actually be used in military applications.

The most obvious one is rocket technology, which is a twin brother of missiles.

"Then we will definitely give priority to our own projects."

"According to the current progress, Venusstar Technology's own engineers will be able to work in the space station within this year."

"By then, the aerospace pattern of the entire world will begin to change."

"I heard that you are already preparing for the launch of the lunar probe, and the next step is to build a space station in the lunar orbit."

"You are too fast."

For Qian Junfeng, many of Venusstar Technology's plans are no secrets.

Confidentiality does not mean that everyone should not know the content of the project.

Just don't let people who shouldn't know know about it.

"Many countries have already launched lunar probes, and even Tianzhu launched one a few years ago."

"So it's not too difficult for us to do this kind of thing."

"But the lunar space station is relatively more difficult than the Chang'e space station."

"Even if we have the current foundation, it will take at least until next year or even the year after to complete it."

Cao Yang's words sounded like he thought the matter was a bit difficult and couldn't be completed so quickly.

But Qian Junfeng knew that this speed didn't seem difficult at all.

No country has built a space station in the lunar orbit yet, and Venus Technology is about to be the first to do so.

As a result, such a difficult task was completed in just one or two years.

This is not fast enough?

What would be fast enough?

Could it be that we will land on the moon next year?

"Mr. Cao, these space exploration missions are very costly and it is difficult to make a profit in a short period of time. Why are you so active?"

Qian Junfeng asked a question that many people have in mind.

Although Cao Yang is the richest man in the world, he has plenty of money.

But he can't spend money like this, right?

Spending tens of billions of dollars at every turn, even if he is the richest man in the world, it's not enough, right?

"It seems difficult to make a profit to ordinary people, but the actual situation is hard to say."

Cao Yang didn't say much about this topic to Qian Junfeng.

He couldn't tell Qian Junfeng that he knew the cost of building the Chang'e space station in the future, and he could find someone to pay for it.

As for the lunar space station and the more long-term lunar base, I can naturally find a solution that does not lose money.

Besides, some technologies cannot be measured simply by money.

I am not short of money now, so there is no need to measure everything with money.

Like Musk, he doesn't have a lot of money now, but he is also very active in setting up a plan to enter Mars?

Qian Junfeng is not stupid, and he can naturally feel that Cao Yang does not want to talk to him about this topic in detail.

He thought it might involve some commercial secrets of Venusstar Technology, so Cao Yang was reluctant to say more.

In this case, he would naturally not be so ignorant.

After all, Venusstar Technology and Aerospace Technology are partners, not its own subsidiaries.

…

Everything is ready, with the countdown, Venusstar 9 MAX carrying a spacecraft with three astronauts on board was successfully launched.

After that, every step was carried out according to plan, and soon entered the predetermined orbit.

All of this can be seen in some live broadcasts on Huaxia TV and the Internet.

Yes, this is definitely the hottest thing on the Huaxia Internet today.

The subsequent docking of the spacecraft with the Chang'e space station was also very smooth.

That night, the Huaxia TV News Network even gave several minutes to report this event.

Later, the News Network directly connected with the space station via video, allowing everyone to directly experience the life in space.

These scenes naturally gave many people a great stimulation.

"Sharma, we also need to formally establish a manned space station plan. We can't always let China go first."

The Tianzhu Space Research Organization is the responsible agency in the Tianzhu aerospace field. They are responsible for the launch of various artificial satellites and rockets in Tianzhu.

Although most Chinese people don't pay attention to Tianzhu in their daily lives, even many people discuss the United States, polar bears and Japan all day long, and they won't mention Tianzhu.

But in Tianzhu, the situation is quite different.

Many Tianzhu people like to compare with Huaxia when talking about various advanced technologies, especially those related to military technology.

Just like China, after developing a heavy transport helicopter, it will definitely be constantly compared with similar products in the United States.

Then in Tianzhu, after developing similar products, it will definitely be constantly compared with similar products in China.

Chinese people don’t care much about the ideas of Tianzhu people, and are unwilling to spend time paying attention to their situation.

But Tianzhu people are very concerned.

Especially in recent years, China has made a lot of achievements in the field of aerospace, and Tianzhu’s attention is even higher.

"Lahar, China has spent more than 20 years to slowly succeed in the project."

"If we develop step by step, the gap with China will be very large at that time."

"In this case, do we need to consider skipping some rhythms and working directly towards the ultimate goal?"

Sharma naturally hopes that the development speed of the Tianzhu Space Research Organization can catch up with China, or even surpass it.

But he graduated from Tianzhu University of Technology, and he is more or less self-aware.

Knowing that the development speed of step-by-step development is impossible to surpass China.

After all, they won't stop there and wait for you to catch up.

"Which steps do you think can be skipped?"

Rahal naturally had no objection to Sharma's proposal.

The faster you can catch up with the progress, the more credit you will get.

He definitely wanted it.

But Sharma was the technical director and was definitely more professional than him in the specific technical route, so Rahal wanted to listen to his thoughts.

"I have studied the development steps of China's manned aviation in recent years, and their actions are really too conservative."

"Before the first manned spacecraft was launched in 2003, many unmanned spacecraft launches had been carried out."

"Then after the successful launch of the manned spacecraft, it took more than ten years before entering the development of the manned space station."

"The process here can be greatly compressed."

As a professional aerospace technology talent, Sharma is naturally very concerned about the development of China's aerospace industry.

Discussing this topic with Rahal today is just to bring out what he had considered before.

Otherwise, he would not be able to talk about so many things at once.

"In recent years, our rocket technology has made great progress. In 2008, we even launched a probe to the moon."

"So it is not difficult for us to launch a spacecraft into space."

"What we need to consider now is to cooperate with the United States or the polar bears to obtain the relevant design and survival experience of manned spacecraft as soon as possible."

"As long as we spend one or two years to prepare for this, we can launch a manned spacecraft."

"The next step is to consider the construction plan of the space station."

"Of course, our space station doesn't need to be so big at the beginning. We can do it step by step and solve the problem of whether there is one or not first."

After Sharma said this, Lahar couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

This pace seems a bit fast, right?

If it really goes on like this, wouldn't it be three or four years before Tianzhu can have its own space station like China?

Of course, he also knows that in his country, plans are plans and reality is reality.

It is very common in Tianzhu that something that is planned is very grand and has no way to be implemented in the end.

However, even so, this manned aviation development plan is still very exaggerated.

"Sharma, do you think the polar bears will be willing to exchange experience in manned aviation with us?"

Since you want to overtake on the curve and quickly catch up with China's pace, you certainly can't do research and development step by step.

There are so many successful experiences in this world that can be learned from, and Lahar certainly doesn't want to miss them.

Sharma naturally fully understands this.

"Under normal circumstances, the polar bears are not willing to communicate and cooperate with us on everything."

"But now China has made a breakthrough in this regard. I think many things that the polar bears were unwilling to cooperate and communicate with us in the past will gradually change."

"After all, the polar bears must also hope to make a lot of money through cooperation with us, and through this cooperation, we can contain China's development."

"Don't look at the good relationship between them now. In fact, the situation may not be really that one-minded."

It has to be said that Sharma's analysis is still very reasonable.

There are only interests, no friends between countries.

"Then let's go to the polar bears as soon as possible and have a good exchange with them."

"It would be best if they could also give some cooperation in the construction of the space station."

Since the plan is feasible, Lahar naturally can't wait to take action.

Otherwise, the gap between China and India will become larger and larger, and the domestic public opinion pressure will be very great.

...

Most people in China don't know what's going on in Tianzhu, and they don't care.

However, it is the first time for astronauts to live in the Chang'e space station, so Chinese netizens are naturally very concerned.

Whether it is Huaxia TV or Nanshan Film and Television's video website, some relevant videos will be released every day to let everyone know about life in the space station.

How to ensure the problem of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating for a long time after experiencing 16 sunrises and sunsets every day, what experiments will everyone do in the space station...

Various questions can attract the attention of many netizens.

Huaxia TV also interviewed experts from the aerospace science and technology department and introduced many situations of the space station.

"Let the astronauts return to the ground radiantly" is a core topic.

Huaxia TV: How to ensure that the astronauts can be radiant?

Aerospace Science and Technology: This is guaranteed by a system, whether it is from their physical health, physical fitness, psychological state, and their preparation for the entire process of the flight return mission, as well as their good summary of the entire process and the completion of various scientific experiments. So this is a dynamic and continuous process. Only when this process is done well can there be a perfect ending, so this takes some time to do.

Huaxia TV: What kind of preparations do they need to make before they return?

Aerospace Science and Technology: In 30 days, they have completely adapted to the weightless flight environment in the sky, so they will definitely have a process of re-adaptation under the influence of gravity on the ground. In order to ensure that they return well, they must be fully prepared physically, including the vestibular system.

Huaxia TV: To what extent do they have to exercise to have the ability to return?

Aerospace Science and Technology: For example, according to his age and daily physical condition, we can determine how he should run every day, how he should pedal a bicycle, to what extent he should exercise his core muscles, how many times he should do it, and what level his heart rate should reach before he can stop, so this is a complete small system.

Huaxia TV: How do you eat in space? Or do you take some special vitamin supplements?

Aerospace Science and Technology: In fact, for space flight, the standards for nutrients are different from those on the ground. Not all ground standards are applicable to the sky. In the sky, bones are in a state of decalcification, so we must be particularly careful in the use of calcium supplements.

Huaxia TV: Does it mean that calcium loss will be particularly fast?

Aerospace Science and Technology: Yes, calcium loss will increase compared to the ground. In this case, if calcium is supplemented in large quantities, it will lead to the formation of stones, but not supplementing calcium will bring some new problems. Therefore, the dietary standards and the range of calcium intake must be determined. Others such as iron, sodium, and some vitamins such as folic acid will also change.

…

After the special interview report of more than an hour came out, people from all walks of life on the Internet had a more intuitive understanding of the life of astronauts on the Chang'e space station.

This time they stayed on the space station for one month, the next time it was three months, the next batch was six months, and then one year.

The increase in different time periods is based on the accumulation of various experiences.

Otherwise, it will have a greater impact on the health of astronauts, which is definitely not what Aerospace Technology and Venusstar Technology want to see.

While Chinese netizens were enthusiastically discussing various situations on the space station, the European Space Agency once again flew to China to discuss cooperation.

"Mr. Cao, based on information from all sides, we are going to offer the European Space Agency a fee of 50 million US dollars for sending an astronaut to space."

"The astronaut will be charged 10 million US dollars for each day he stays on the Chang'e space station."

"When returning to the ground, the astronaut will also be charged 50 million US dollars."

"In this way, if the European Space Agency arranges an astronaut to stay on our space station for a month, it will charge 400 million US dollars."

This kind of price negotiation is definitely not for Cao Yang to discuss right away.

Even Cao Yang will not participate in direct price negotiations from beginning to end, and will only listen to the final report.

However, although he did not participate in the negotiations, it does not mean that Cao Yang is concerned about this matter.

The European Space Agency is the first company to come to discuss cooperation, and the price charged is too high, which may scare away some potential customers.

If the fee is too low, the profit of Venusstar Technology will be lost.

So it is very important to find a balance point.

At this time, there is actually no cost benchmark.

After all, the construction cost of a space station is so high, how to amortize it to each astronaut is difficult to calculate, and it is full of uncertainties.

"If the European Space Agency can accept this price, I think it is okay."

Cao Yang did not ask much, and agreed after a little consideration in his mind.

Some expenses actually have reference information.

For example, sending astronauts to the space station, there is cooperation between Polar Bear and America in this regard.

After all its space shuttles were retired, America had to buy seats on Polar Bear's spacecraft in order to send astronauts to the International Space Station. Each ticket was 20 million US dollars in 2006, and then gradually increased to 81 million US dollars in 2018.

Now it is 2014, and charging the European Space Agency 50 million US dollars is not too exaggerated.

As for the charges for astronauts' activities inside the space station, the price of 10 million US dollars a day is not too exaggerated.

After all, the investment in the space station is huge. If you only arrange for one person to use it for a month, the daily cost must be relatively high.

This is like renting a house. The price of a daily rental house is definitely higher than the price of a monthly rental house of the same type.

"There should be quite a few countries that want to send their astronauts to the space station. After we signed the first cooperation agreement with the European Space Agency, all kinds of cooperation in the future have also set a benchmark."

"But I think the specific amount of this cooperation should be kept confidential in the contract."

"After all, each cooperation project is actually very different, and the difficulty is also different."

"If it is widely publicized, it may have an adverse impact on some of our future projects."

Zhao Siyu is now very interested in finding cooperative customers for the space station.

After all, if you simply cooperate with aerospace technology, you can't make a lot of money.

Let alone 10 million US dollars a day, even if it is 10 million RMB per person a day, aerospace technology must think it is expensive.

"It is indeed necessary to keep it secret, but there is no need to keep it secret from Aerospace Science and Technology. It is just right for them to know that the cost of using the space station is very high."

Cao Yang is still thinking about whether there is any big customer to discuss cooperation with, so that he can make a lot of money at that time.

So it is necessary to keep the cooperation with the European Space Agency secret, or to publicize the cost a little higher.

But the situation on the Aerospace Science and Technology side is different.

The current cooperation is mainly technical cooperation.

It can be said that Aerospace Science and Technology has taken out the technology of manned spaceflight to cooperate with Venusstar Technology, and they will not pay extra for the use of the space station.

Of course, this time it is not paid, and the situation will be different after Venusstar Technology's own astronauts are trained.
