Chapter 979 Global Focus, Lunar Research Station Concept Video Released
As Venus Technologies continues to launch components of the lunar orbit space station, the Chang'e Space Station has also reached a new historical node.

The entire space station was rarely full, as it is designed to accommodate a maximum of nine astronauts.

The European Space Agency's co-astronauts, the Emirates' co-astronauts, and China's astronauts all gathered together at the Chang'e Space Station, setting a new record.

Therefore, the popularity of topics related to the space station on the Chinese Internet has been absolutely high in recent days.

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

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

Venusstar Technology finalized the contract so quickly, which also creates more possibilities for future cooperation between the two parties.

Even some countries that were originally 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 will be no need to worry about losing money for the future lunar base. Even if the initial construction funds may require tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of RMB, they can be quickly earned back through various cooperation plans."

Zhao Siyu is very excited now.

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

Especially when it comes to exploring outer space, most of the moves are not made from an economic perspective.

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

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

"The attraction of the space station is not that strong yet. The reason why the Chang'e space station was able to quickly recover its costs this time is mainly due to the special contribution from the Emirates."

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

"By then, let alone $1000 million per person per day, even if it's $ million per day, there will be plenty 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 Venustech really builds a lunar base, even if it is not particularly large, the significance will be extraordinary.

For example, the wealthy countries in the Middle East spend billions of dollars just 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 for the UAE to directly put out 200 billion US dollars for cooperation, just like the Emirates did before.

The key is that by then it will not just be the wealthy in the Middle East who will be interested, but all other powerful countries will be interested.

Even a country like the United States, which has a very bad relationship with Venus Technologies, would probably try to find a way to cooperate.

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

"There are many issues to consider when building a base on the moon."

"Safety is the first issue that needs to be addressed. After all, meteorites often fall on the moon. If we are hit, the loss is totally unbearable."

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

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

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

"In this regard, we already have a dedicated team studying miniaturized nuclear power devices, and even a dedicated scientific research team doing research related to nuclear fusion."

"If there is a major breakthrough in this area in the future, it will be crucial to maintaining the operation of the lunar base."

"Other eating and drinking problems, on the other hand, have solutions."

"We have cooperated with some domestic enterprises 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 regard will soon emerge.”

Zhao Siyu quickly introduced to Cao Yang the preparations for the lunar base made by Venusstar Technology.

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

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

After all, sometimes, a sudden idea can solve a very critical problem.

The college students provided an idea, which Venustech thought was meaningful and arranged for technical personnel to implement it.

It may eventually play a very big role.

"Venus Technology is promoting a lot of large projects. Recently, we have recruited more than 3000 new people every month, and the expenditures in various aspects are quite large."

"Although there are some projects that have helped to recover, the profitability of other sister companies is also very good."

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

"The current projects are obviously not enough. We need to attract more funds from the international community."

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

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

Anyway, I'm not forcing you to buy or sell.

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

For example, if the first batch of stationed personnel in this research station is planned to be 100 people, then there is absolutely no problem in setting aside half of the places to attract investment from the international market.

By then, based on a month's standard, each person's cooperation amount would be at least 30 billion US dollars.

As long as these 50 places are sold, it will be an astronomical figure, enough for Venustech to burn money crazily in the next few years.

After all, not to mention other things, Venustech alone now has more than 10 highly educated employees, and this number will soon exceed 15 and then exceed 20.

These people's salary levels are very high, with an average annual salary of 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, otherwise they would be easily poached.

With this calculation, the annual salary expenditure alone would reach over 100 billion RMB.

And this is just the salary expenses for personnel, there are many other various R&D expenses.

In the end, the annual fixed cost expenditure will definitely exceed 2000 billion yuan.

Why does Aerospace Science and Technology have much fewer scientific research results each year than Venus Technology?
Comparing these investments, we can see some of the reasons.

To maintain such high investment, or even make greater investments in the future, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the current sales of products such as drones and heavy transport helicopters.

It is necessary to put on the agenda to collect a batch of investment for the lunar base in advance.

"It is indeed a good way to raise funds, but if our project is not completed on time, it will be very stressful to get the money back."

Zhao Siyu pointed out the risks of this matter.

However, Cao Yang had a completely different idea and said, "We stipulated these cooperation funds in the contract from the beginning. They will not be refunded!"

"We don't force anyone. There are some terms that we can discuss."

"But there are some standards that are not negotiable."

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

"We can not only cooperate in personnel entering the base, but also bring out some laboratories in the lunar research station for cooperation."

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

After 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 call relevant personnel within the company to discuss it and come up with a cooperation template as soon as possible."

"As for the concept video of the lunar base, we have actually produced it before, and now we just need to do some minor processing."

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

I never thought that I could get funds in advance in this way.

Now that the idea has been opened up, we naturally have to implement it as soon as possible.

"The name of the lunar base is somewhat sensitive. Let's use the lunar research station when promoting it."

Cao Yang is not afraid of trouble, but there is no point in exaggerating his threat. There is naturally no need to do such a thankless task.

Besides, the first thing that Venustech built was indeed a lunar research station.

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

In this base, with the production of some factories, there are many things to do.

We can grow some vegetables in a self-sufficient way, process and produce some food, and even start to develop the mining industry. The prospects are very promising.

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

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

So when the official Weibo account of Venusstar Technology released the concept video of the lunar research station, it immediately caused a huge response.

Cao Yang himself must have forwarded it first, and then said, "Looking forward to seeing you all on the moon."

Many other celebrities also reposted it, not to mention the stars under Nanshan Film and Television.

Every one of them was forwarding this video and expressing their beautiful expectations.

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

“I saw that Nanshan Film and Television’s official Weibo account also reposted the concept video of the lunar research station. I thought they were going to shoot a new movie, but I didn’t expect it wasn’t a movie!”

"I never imagined that one day we would be able to build such a base on the moon. It's really amazing!"

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

"According to the scale of this research station, at least dozens of people can live in it, or even hundreds of people. The significance of this is really very different." "Hurry up and arrange to open a mine! Open a factory!"

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

"The Morning Star is so majestic. It is quietly preparing to bring everyone a huge surprise."

"This is amazing. The Earth can no longer satisfy the wishes of Venustech."

……

Various comments have kept the topic of the lunar research station hot.

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

China TV even specially arranged an interview team to come to Venustech to interview Zhao Siyu, and the interview was broadcast on the News Broadcast.

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

However, the situation in America is definitely the exact opposite.

"Musco, 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 project needs to be further strengthened."

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

Gryffindor was getting a little frustrated now.

Venusstar Technology is really good at making trouble.

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

Judging from Venustech’s previous working style, wouldn’t this lunar research station really be built in a few years?

How can we tolerate such a thing?
As the most powerful country in the universe, if they want to build a scientific research station on the moon, they will definitely be the first to build it, right?
How could a private enterprise in China get its turn?
"This lunar research station is not easy to build. There are many problems that need to be solved."

"Also, the moon is a certain distance away from the earth, so there are many issues that need to be considered when moving between them."

"There are a lot of people living on the moon, and there are countless problems that need to be solved."

"If any detail is not done well, devastating problems may occur."

Musk naturally also saw the Venustech version of the lunar research station concept video that was widely circulated in the global aerospace field.

Objectively speaking, this concept video is very well made.

Many of the contents inside are worthy of scrutiny.

It even gives people the feeling that it was filmed in an actual scientific research station.

"I believe that Venusstar Technology has already realized what you said."

"They are unlikely to build a completely useless research station on the moon."

"But Venustech still released this video, which shows that they have solved many of the problems in it."

“This is also something that needs our attention.”

Gryffin is now eager to catch up with the development pace of Venustech.

He was worried that if he failed to catch up this time, the gap between everyone else would get bigger and bigger.

This possibility is not completely 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."

"Let's not talk about other things. Venustech has more than 100,000 engineers. SpaceX cannot compare to that."

Musk did not directly reject Gryffin's proposal, but he raised the question directly.

If this problem can be solved, Musk is still confident that he can catch up with Venustech.

"The relevant departments should be more sober this time, but this is a crucial year for the election, and many people's attention is not where it should be."

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

"You will then have more funds at your disposal, which is much simpler than applying for funding from relevant departments."

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

If there were other options, he definitely wouldn't want to adopt this content.

"If Tesla can provide more financial support, I would naturally be willing to invest more money to develop SpaceX's projects."

Musk's eyes lit up.

If NASA helps Tesla raise its stock price, it will definitely be effective.

As a major shareholder of Tesla, Musk's wealth will certainly increase.

The enthusiasm for doing things will naturally increase.

"I will also gather people from Boeing, Lockheed Martin and other companies next week to discuss whether we can jointly invest in landing on the moon and building a lunar base."

"This can also greatly alleviate your financial pressure."

Granfin felt that it was necessary to gather together all of America's best minds in fields such as aerospace.

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

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

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

Musk spread his hands and spoke directly about his thoughts.

Gryffin was relieved about this.

If Musk doesn't mind, then this matter will be easy.

NASA's reaction was as big as it was, and the polar bears' reaction was actually similar.

As the only two countries that have ever 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 scientific research stations on the moon.

"Grogin, are we going to continue cooperating with Venusstar Technology this time?"

Demetrius's mood was quite complicated at this time.

Although we are constantly cooperating with Venustech, this is the general direction that had already been determined before.

But after seeing the concept video of the lunar research station, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Is the gap between Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation and Venusstar Technology so big?
This scientific research station, which looks huge, is actually built on the moon!
It would be more acceptable if Venustech moved the equipment of a space station to the moon.

But the situation is completely different for a scientific research station that can accommodate at least dozens of people working there for a long time.

Even if they want to do it on their own, they have no confidence at all without cooperating with Venusstar Technology.

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

This is very scary.

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

"Is it okay not to cooperate?"

Grogin's simple rhetorical question left Dmitri speechless.

Yes!

Is it okay not to cooperate?
If they don't cooperate, when will the polar bear people be able to land on the moon again?

If we don't cooperate, what if Venustech makes some major discovery on the moon? Wouldn't that have nothing to do with polar bears?
If we don't cooperate, what if Venus Technology builds an underground city on the moon in the future, will the polar bears still participate?
Therefore, even if you feel uncomfortable, you must still cooperate.

Otherwise it will be even more disadvantageous to polar bears.

"The investment for such a lunar research station must be huge."

"Venus Technology is a company, and they don't provide welfare."

"If we want to get deeply involved, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

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

I have to say that Demetrius's guess was very accurate.

This admission ticket is not so easy to get.

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

Otherwise you should never get involved.

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

"The most urgent thing is to contact Venustech first and find out their plans and terms of cooperation."

"Otherwise, it would be meaningless if we just shut ourselves up and speculate on this."

Grotin said this, but Dmitri did not refute it.

After all, this is indeed the case.

To this end, they even flew to Guangzhou in advance to discuss deeper cooperation with Venusstar Technology.
