Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 871 Venus Technology: Everyone here is rubbish

As the world's first mass-produced recyclable rocket, Venus 9 is very well-known in the industry.

Throughout 2013, Venus Technology entered an intensive rocket launch stage.

12月28日、12月29日和12月30日，连续三天的时间，启明星科技每天发射一枚火箭。

This kind of transmission frequency is absolutely unmatched by any organization.

Especially the rocket launched on December 12 was the tenth launch mission, which was definitely a huge breakthrough.

Until now, no rocket had been able to be reused ten times.

According to the current situation, Venus Technology is also preparing to continue to use this rocket to perform launch missions next year.

After the successful launch of Venus 12 on December 30, Venus Technology's last launch mission in 9 will be completed.

"Mr. Cao, we have launched a total of 64 rockets this year, 51 of which are for the group's own Starlink satellite project, and the rest are for other customers."

"According to our preliminary statistics, Venus Technology's rocket launches accounted for more than half of the world's rocket launches in 2013."

"If you exclude the launches of SpaceX, we account for 70% of the world's launches."

Zhao Siyu must want to publicize such outstanding results.

So before 2013 was over, he summarized the situation of global rocket launches.

Anyway, everyone's launches are basically planned, and the impact in the last one or two days can be completely calculated, or even ignored.

After New Year's Day, all walks of life are releasing their own data.

Daystar Technology is planning to steal a chicken and release this blockbuster news directly at the end of the year to attract a wave of attention first.

This can also appropriately relieve Zhao Siyu's pressure.

"That's more than half of the world's launches?"

"Aerospace science and technology, NASA, Polar Bear United Rocketry and Space Agency and the European Space Agency and so many other agencies combined have not launched as many times as we have?"

Although Cao Yang knew that Daystar Technology was very good at it, he was still a little surprised that it was so good now.

I don’t know if I don’t have statistics. I’ll be shocked when I get statistics.

It seems that in the aerospace field, the strength of competitors is not as strong as I imagined.

"They all use traditional rocket launch methods. China's aerospace technology launches more than 20 times a year, which is already very high."

"For example, at the European Space Agency, the number of rocket launches throughout the year has not exceeded double digits."

"Things are a little better over there with the polar bears, which is about a dozen times."

"As for NASA, it is now slowly handing over some rocket launch tasks to the Space Exploration Technology Company."

"I estimate that in a few years, 90% or even more than 95% of the world's rocket launch missions will be divided between us and the Space Exploration Technology Company."

Zhao Siyu said quite confidently.

Recyclable rockets are so disruptive.

Especially Venus Technology has reached 10 times of use.

In addition, Venus 9 itself uses a lot of disruptive designs and uses an assembly line mass production method to produce it.

In the industrial field, the cost of small-scale production of one or two products is completely different from large-scale production.

Although Venus Technology is only planning to produce a hundred or so Venus 9s, it is already a large-scale production for a rocket.

Especially in terms of engines, which have a greater impact on costs, one rocket uses 9 engines, and Venus 9 MAX will continue to be used in the future.

As a result, the number of engines produced has reached thousands, or even more.

Producing thousands of engines is not the same concept as producing three or five engines. The cost of a single engine is definitely not the same.

Maybe NASA needs to spend 1000 million US dollars to produce an engine, and aerospace technology also needs to spend 1000 million yuan.

But when it comes to Venus Technology, R&D costs and mold costs have been greatly amortized, and production costs can be directly reduced to the level of 100 million yuan.

Even lower.

It is conceivable how much this large-scale industrial production has contributed to the reduction of rocket costs.

"The Space Exploration Technology Company is also expected to start exploding production capacity next year."

"Taking advantage of the fact that their launches are not particularly large this year, we really want to promote Venus Technology."

"Let everyone know that this is the world's top aerospace company, and leave a deep impression on everyone first."

Cao Yang has always attached great importance to publicity work.

Propaganda work done well can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

On the contrary, it is half the result with twice the result.

As long as everyone knows that Venus Technology alone launched more than half of the world's rockets in 2013, netizens will figure out what makes Venus Technology awesome.

After all, this is a rocket, not a paper plane.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

"So after reporting to you today, the company will immediately start relevant publicity."

"At that time, we will let netizens at home and abroad know the name of Daystar Technology, so that more potential customers who are still hesitant will contact us."

"In fact, there are not that many organizations that have the capability to send rockets into space."

"There are still many customers who have the idea of ​​launching satellites, but they think it is difficult and costly, so they have not taken action."

"Through this publicity, more people will know that Venus Technology can send satellites to space in a low-cost way, which should be very beneficial for us to obtain more commercial aviation contracts in the future."

Zhao Siyu naturally fully supports Cao Yang's decision.

He will definitely benefit from promoting Daystar Technology.

Especially this year, he just became an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and he hopes to make Daystar Technology a world-famous enterprise.

[Breaking space records, Venus Technology’s first 10-hand rocket was born]

[In 2013, Venus Technology’s annual launch number exceeded that of the United States for the first time]

[Venix Technology: Everyone here is rubbish]

[64 times, Venus Technology refreshed the world record for annual rocket launches]

[Incredible, Venus Technology has launched 64 rockets this year, and Venus 9 has been reused 10 times]

[Record-breaking, Venus Technology’s number of rocket launches this year hits a new high]

After Zhao Siyu and Cao Yang completed their report, relevant articles quickly appeared in various media.

Venus Technology’s official website and official WeChat account also released some relevant information simultaneously.

Cao Yang's own personal Weibo posted that Venus Technology launched 2013 rockets in 64, of which the number of repeated launches of Venus 9 exceeded 10 times, as the main promotional content.

As the most influential entrepreneur on the Internet, Cao Yang's number of fans is comparable to that of super-A-list celebrities, and his influence is astonishing.

Coupled with the fact that the published content is so impactful, it naturally became a hot search topic as soon as it was published.

"Even better than the national team, Daystar Technology is so awesome."

"To destroy all countries together is really awesome!"

"What does it mean to be far ahead? This is really far ahead."

"Is the catfish effect in the aerospace industry coming? I am looking forward to the changes brought about by the catfish of Daystar Technology."

"Since the birth of Daystar Technology, various media seem to have less praise for aerospace technology."

"This data must make Aerospace Science and Technology and NASA very anxious."

"Seeing these numbers is like watching a science fiction movie. I have to say that Mr. Cao is really awesome."

"Venus Technology is indeed very powerful, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that everything else is rubbish. In the field of manned spaceflight, Venus Technology is still relatively weak."

"Cao Yang is really amazing at turning a business into a career and an entrepreneur into a scientist."

"It's really great. The key is that the salary is great."

"Haha, when it comes to creating space junk, Daystar Technology is far ahead."

"NASA is the worst. Several years of efforts are not as good as one year of Daystar Technology."

……

Various comments have made this matter more and more popular.

Not to mention that Venus Technology’s own employees are very proud, even all the employees of Nanshan Department are also proud of it.

"Minister Liu, several of my classmates are asking me for advice on how to join Daystar Technology."

"Can we ask the company to open an internal recommendation channel so that more outstanding talents can enter the company?"

Xiao Rong joined Nanshan Automobile in 2003 and became an employee of the legal department.

After ten years of hard work, she successfully became the deputy director of the legal department of Nanshan Automobile Group.

This has something to do with the fact that her mentor is the most famous law professor at Lingnan University of Technology.

Of course, it's more of her own efforts.

Although many of her college classmates are doing okay outside, there are really not many who are more successful than her.

This time Venus Technology became popular again, and many students came to chat with her. Some of them even expressed their desire for her help in recommending entry into Venus Technology.

"Your suggestion is indeed a good one. The company has always felt that internal referrals can easily be exploited."

"However, after so many years of development, each business department has also entered the right track, and each department has its own work process."

“The benefits of internal referrals are more obvious than the drawbacks.”

As the head of human resources of the Nanshan Department, Liu Youmei is considered to have a high position of authority.

She was still very receptive to this kind of advice that obviously had some reference significance.

In addition, many talents in Nanshan-type companies were originally poached from outside companies.

Let these people use their own advantages and recommend some colleagues, classmates, and friends to come over. This is actually a way to save recruitment costs.

Of course, we must also do a good job of checking during this process.

Don’t let referrals become a way for some people to seek personal gain.

"Yes, we are often familiar with the person we recommend, and we also know whether he is suitable for the company."

"It's equivalent to doing the first check."

Xiao Rong did not expect Liu Youmei to agree to his proposal so directly this time.

This is definitely a happy thing. At that time, people who enter the company through internal referrals will more or less receive a favor from themselves.

This will definitely be beneficial to her further promotion.

The Nanshan Group is now a big company, and many middle and high-level managers naturally hope to continue to advance.

The pay in the Nanshan system is very good. The higher you go, the richer the various year-end bonuses are.

Compared with the excitement inside Nanshan Group Enterprises, the mood of people outside is different.

"Mr. Qian, many netizens on the Internet are ridiculing us."

"Especially on our official WeChat account, there are very few comments that have good things to say."

"Obviously our results in 2013 were better than those in 2012, but we definitely encountered all kinds of dissatisfaction."

Early in the morning, Zhu Yuanming came to Qian Junfeng's office very depressed.

As the person in charge of the rocket project, he is very concerned about news related to rocket launches.

Objectively speaking, the performance of aerospace technology in the industry is still remarkable.

That number of launches is not only more than that of Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Company, but also more than NASA.

As for comparing with European Space Agency, Tianzhu and other competitors, it is even better.

But there was Venus Technology in front of them, and its dazzling data directly overshadowed the others.

"Netizens' ideas come and go, and whatever comes to mind is what they think."

"We have to look not only at the number of rocket launches, but also at what was launched."

Qian Junfeng was naturally a little depressed about this situation.

Those comments on the Internet will more or less affect his reputation, making relevant departments feel that aerospace technology is not developing very well under his leadership.

A large amount of money is spent every year, but the result is that it cannot even compare with a private enterprise.

Some extreme negative comments will pop up quickly.

Qian Junfeng has seen similar things before.

"Yes, Venus Technology basically launches Starlink satellites, and every launch mission is very similar."

"The various preparations are much faster and simpler to do."

"But people on the Internet can't see this at all. They just curse people there blindly."

When had Zhu Yuanming ever been scolded like this?
After all, he is also a technical expert and is the person in charge of the rocket project of aerospace technology.

"In fact, we can promote it from another angle. With Venus Technology and our rocket launches, China's rocket launches account for more than 70% of the world's share."

"Isn't this something that everyone should be proud of?"

When Qian Junfeng said this, Zhu Yuanming's eyes lit up.

Yes, if promoted according to this dimension, it seems to be a very good thing.

Aerospace science and technology has always been not very good at publicity, but it does not mean that they do not know the importance of publicity.

The level is there, if they want to find some media to help promote it, there are still many ways.

"Mr. Qian, shall we ask the publicity side to take action as soon as possible?"

"Go ahead and act quickly while the heat is at its highest."

……

Compared with the situation on the aerospace technology side, NASA is a little uncomfortable.

The news from China was also reported by the American media.

Daystar Technology is the leader. One company has launched more rockets than the entire United States, and the number is not one or two.

In this case, Griffin, the director of NASA, will definitely be criticized.

"Masco, has SpaceX's launch plan for next year been finalized?"

Griffin knew that it would be impossible to surpass Venus Technology in counting on NASA's own launch missions.

So depressed, he called Masco.

The achievements of Space Exploration Technology Company today are inseparable from his support.

Now that we encounter a problem, we naturally have to discuss it with the other party.

"It's almost settled. We plan to launch 50 rockets next year, breaking the American record in one fell swoop."

When Masco said this, Griffin was not happy and said: "Venus Technology has already launched 64 times this year. Will you only launch 50 times next year?"

Obviously, Griffin is now staring at Daystar Technology.

The media always talks about Venus Technology. Naturally, he hopes that the Space Exploration Technology Company can be more competitive and overtake Venus Technology.

In this way, the media will not keep catching NASA.

"Griffin, 50 times is already a very big challenge for us."

"After all, our improved Falcon 9 has just been successfully developed this year. It is impossible to surpass Venus Technology next year."

"They have launched 64 times this year, and next year they are expected to exceed 100 times."

"In this case, it will be at least another two years before we have any chance of surpassing them."

Masco naturally knew why Griffin made such a request.

But what can't be done just can't be done.

He didn't want to compromise blindly.

Otherwise something will happen by then.

Why has NASA's development stalled?
In Masco's opinion, it is because of the management system.

Everyone is looking forward and backward, or making decisions by patting their heads. Many problems that should not have occurred have occurred, and time that should not have been wasted has been wasted.

"Hey!"

"If Venus Technology launches more than 100 times next year and you launch more than 50 times, then the proportion of Venus Technology's launches in the number of global launches may increase further."

"If you include the rocket launch situation of China Aerospace Science and Technology, the situation will be even more unfavorable for us."

Griffin has a bit of a headache.

Although this matter doesn't mean anything, ordinary people don't care about you that much.

Their first reaction was that the United States was lagging behind China in the aerospace industry.

There is no way to accept this.

Then the position under Griffin's butt may need to be moved.

This is obviously not a situation he wants to see.

"The progress at Daystar Technology is indeed very fast. I heard that they have now started research on a super large rocket starship project."

"But we are still working hard on the development of the Falcon 9 heavy rocket."

"Griffin, can NASA continue to support a group of technical experts?"

Masco would definitely not want to miss such a good opportunity.

If space exploration technology companies want to accelerate their development, in addition to investing money, talent is also essential.

Anyway, the source of many of the previous technologies was NASA, and now he continues to look for NASA support talents, and Musk has nothing to be embarrassed about.

It’s not like I don’t want to pay.

"If we continue to support you with talents, NASA itself will not have the ability to develop new technologies in the future."

Griffin said a little confused.

Although supporting the development of private enterprises such as Space Exploration Technology Company in the aerospace industry is in line with NASA's development policy.

But he doesn’t want NASA to be abolished.

It's not in his interest to look that way.

"Griffin, NASA no longer has the R&D capabilities for new products. It is enough to make existing products well."

"The development of brand-new projects is directly entrusted to Sky Exploration Technology Company, which can not only significantly save the development schedule, but also save a lot of money."

"I guarantee that as long as there are enough talents, the Falcon Heavy rocket will achieve its first flight in 2014 and be put into commercial launch missions in 2015."

"At the same time, we will also launch projects similar to starships like Daystar Technology."

"We will strive to achieve the first flight of the starship within the next five years and send our astronauts to Mars within the next ten years."

If you want others to contribute, naturally you have to paint a big picture.

Otherwise, NASA would definitely not be happy.

At this point, Musko is quite familiar with it.

For Griffin, he has invested a lot of resources in Space Exploration Technology Company.

It can be said that the cost of silence is relatively high.

So besides choosing to continue supporting Musko, he didn't have many better choices.

Although America has some other private aerospace companies, in the field of rocket launches, obviously no one is doing better than Space Exploration Technologies.

So even if he felt a little unhappy, he could only accept Masco's proposal.

However, he also emphasized it and said: "In terms of talents, NASA is not completely unable to support it. Even some large engines in the past can provide some solutions for your future starship projects as a reference."

"But at the latest in the year after next, our number of rocket launches in the United States must not be surpassed by China again."

"Otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to everyone."

Regardless of whether this goal can be achieved, Griffin must first throw out the goal.

Otherwise, if there was no pressure from Space Exploration Technology Company, it would definitely be difficult to surpass Daystar Technology.

If there was a publicity campaign like now every year, he would be very passive and feel uncomfortable.

"I try my best!"

"What Space Exploration Technology Company needs to do is to become the world's leading aerospace company. It is not our dream to surpass Venus, but to become the world's number one."

Masco naturally knew that Griffin should be given a step down at this time.

Otherwise, if the other party really does not agree to support talents, it will naturally be of no benefit to the development of the space exploration technology company.
