The failed launch was a serious blow to ISRO's space ambitions, and two years ago the third brother hoped to become the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface with Chandrayaan-2.

As a result, the car overturned, and $141 million was lost.

Less than $200 million, compared with the last world NASA spent $25 billion on the Apollo program, it is not at the same level.

However, the third brother's space ambitions are obvious.

After Chandrayaan-2 overturned, the space budget was increased to $1.8 billion the following year, then to $2.5 billion last year, and to a total of $3.14 billion during the moon landing in October this year.

As a result, the "Chandrayaan-3" overturned again, and billions of dollars were wasted.

Whoever changes the mentality is estimated to have to explode, but the third brother's mentality can still find bright spots from it, and he can only find bright spots.

Gu Cheng left Tianqing Industries, and twenty minutes later, he met with ISRO's delegation, Siwan (), in the VIP room of the Hive headquarters.

"I personally regret the failure of Chandrayaan-3, but this is the inevitable price of space exploration." After Gu Cheng met, he comforted with deep regret.

It has to be said that Xiwan is extremely envious of the achievements of Tianqing Technology Group in the field of space exploration, and I am afraid that there is no one on the earth who is not envious, and even Americans are enthusiastic about it.

"Mr. Gu, time is pressing, the Chandrayaan-3 weighs 3,960 kilograms, and this time it is equipped with three modules, including an orbiter, a lander and a lunar rover, and more than 10 research devices of various kinds, I hope your company can help us as soon as possible, you should have a way."

Xi Wan said anxiously as soon as he came up.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a while when he heard this and this posture, not only did this third brother not have much sense of humor, but he also didn't have too thick skin, and he was also a good hand at pretending to be stupid.

Hengyin District, that is the territory of labor and capital, and the US imperialist will get out of here when it comes, so what can you touch?

"Well...... Mr. Xiwan, our team does have a plan to go to the Hengyin area of Antarctica, and we do have the ability to search for 'Chandrayaan-3', in terms of technology and implementation conditions, there is no problem, but ......" Gu Cheng's voice changed, adding: "Although Tianqing Technology Group is a private enterprise, although our lunar exploration activities are commercial space activities, I also believe that this is a good deal, I am very happy, but foreign cooperation, not I can nod my head." ”

When Xi Wan heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, I can understand, but New Delhi has already called your country yesterday......"

After listening to his description, Gu Cheng was quite surprised: "Is there such a thing? Please wait a moment. ”

After speaking, Gu Cheng came to the next room and made a phone call to contact He Su.

"Sister He, can you help me ask the boss, what's the matter with the Indians just running to me? Isn't it in the box for me? ”

Gu Cheng asked, and He Sulai on the other end of the phone responded: "I was about to call you, yes, and agreed, let's start it in the form of international cooperation in the field of commercial space, just like the Americans, it's best to send some of their people over, so that they will be more dependent." ”

"Got it."

The communication lasted less than a minute before it ended, and the third brother took the initiative to ask for help this time, most of them were also a little self-doubting, and in 2008, they relied on the lunar male program that began, and every time it was frustrated, it was possible.

The boss can agree and actively try to promote in-depth cooperation, Gu Cheng probably understands what he means, so that if he has a good relationship with the third brother, this neighbor can also stop for a while, and when the time comes, the baby bus and the third brother will quarrel again, and the weight of the words will go up, especially after taking the third brother's astronaut to the moon.

Don't delay making money.

Gu Cheng immediately came to the reception room.

When Xi Wan saw him come back, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, how is it?" I'm not wrong, right? ”

Gu Cheng sat down and was silent for a moment, then immediately looked at Xiwan and said: "The moon landing program is a bold move for any country, and it just so happens that our Tianqing Technology Group is a commercial space activity, maybe we can conduct international cooperation in business." ”

Xiwan couldn't help but be vigilant, and said: "Mr. Gu, ISRO funds are really not much, don't talk too much, we hope that your company can help us restore contact with 'Luna 3', that's all." ”

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Mr. Xiwan, the cooperation I mean is not to help you find the 'Chandrayaan-3', but that I Tianqing Technology is willing to provide you with a full set of lunar solutions, including this ......"

As he spoke, Gu Cheng slid the touch screen on the desktop next to him, and the entire desktop lit up, and it turned out that the surface of this table was a screen.

As Gu Cheng touched it a few times, and then released a picture to show him, Xi Wan's pupils couldn't help but shrink, this picture was the permanent base of Tianqing Technology Group on the far side of the moon.

"How? Isn't it tempted? Gu Cheng glanced at him, lied and remained silent, decisively moved out of the eagle sauce, and said: "That's it, NASA is hinting that they want to ask me to help them build one, but I haven't expressed my position." Again, going to the moon is a bold move for any country, especially for a country that still has hundreds of millions of people stuck in poverty. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Xi Wan was a little unhappy, and Gu Cheng then said: "But your country is a little different, the scientists and engineering examples of this country should not be underestimated, his software developers are considered to be one of the greatest developers in the world, and every year its universities produce thousands of talented scientists and engineers, who are experts in the field of cutting-edge technology." ”

As soon as the third brother heard this, he immediately felt much more comfortable, and his heart also warmed up, with the scale of this permanent base on the moon, the third brother didn't dare to think about it, and it may not be possible to achieve it in fifty years, and now someone suddenly comes to the door to sell, isn't it......

Gu Cheng struck while the iron was hot and said: "With all due respect, your country is on a wrong path in the field of space exploration but has not yet realized that rocket launch technology has become a obsolete product, and it is not a secret that China's rocket research and development program has been stopped one after another, and the Americans have also given up, and SpaceX has given up the Falcon model is the best proof that their 'Leviathan' rocket is actually a nuclear-powered spacecraft." ”

"This time your country spent billions of dollars, just to send a lunar rover up, less than three tons, my Tianqing Technology Group can send thousands of tons of materials in one go, this time we took 5 lunar rovers at one time, and all of them exceeded 10 tons. Your country's rocket is powerful, even if it is comparable to Saturn 5? Wouldn't it cost tens of billions of dollars to land a manned landing on the moon in the future? And is it a ten-year or twenty-year cycle? ”

"If your country does not want to lose the opportunity of the era of 'cosmic navigation', you must change your thinking, not that I am deliberately boasting about myself, this is your country's historical opportunity, just imagine, ten or twenty years later, the moon will be crowded, and when your country has the ability to send people to the moon, I am afraid that there is no foothold for your country when you look at the lunar surface."

When Xi Wan heard this, he immediately looked at Gu Cheng, stared directly at the other party without saying a word, and Gu Cheng still said in an orderly manner: "Instead of becoming the fourth space power, why not go further?" To be the third or second in the world, you say? ”

At this time, Sivan said, "What do you mean by the third and second?" ”

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "The third country to land a man on the moon, this Russian is right; The second country with its own base on the surface of the moon, this American did not do it either. Moreover, the solutions promoted by our Tianqing Technology are readily available, very complete, and can be called a close service, ISRO wants to build as big a lunar base, we can help build as much as we want, and we can send as many astronauts as we want, and we don't charge freight. ”

"The business solutions we launched are not really profitable, only a little bit of manufacturing labor costs, and that's it. For your country, it will not only be able to achieve a feat that even a superpower cannot accomplish, but will not lose the opportunity of the era of 'space exploration', and the key is that it can save your country tens of billions of dollars in budget expenditure. ”

Gu Chengzhen took the trouble to instill the concept of "it's better to buy than to build, and it's better to rent than to buy" for the third brother, and he is still quite confident in convincing the third brother, after all, people are indeed like this, and the weapons and equipment of the Wanguo brand are said to be playful, and it is not logical to extend this to space activities?
