[Chapter 351: Elon. Musk's nervousness]

With the establishment of "China Matrix CMSX" marks the entry of another heavyweight player in the field of space exploration, compared with the traditional old giants in the industry and technology giants such as Alphabet, which have been involved in the field for one or two decades, Matrix Technology is undoubtedly a latecomer, and it is decades behind other companies in terms of high-tech achievements in the space field.

Despite this, no one dares to despise this company, matrix technology itself is a predator-level supergiant, strong technology research and development capabilities are obvious to all, and the unparalleled financial advantage is incomparable to other companies, although there is a decades of technology gap, but with the intervention of the National Space Administration, this gap was instantly broken.

With decades of technical heritage deposited by the China National Space Administration and the strong financial base of Matrix Technology to escort the "China Matrix CMSX", it is destined to become the same level as a giant like SpaceX from the moment it was born.

With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous progress of technology, space exploration has become a hot frontier concept.

The world's powerful technology giants have set their sights on the vast outer space outside the earth, and the entry of matrix technology is not surprising to outsiders, on the contrary, if matrix technology does not enter the outside world, it will feel strange. The vastness of space means endless business opportunities, and for the world's supergiants, the little bits and pieces on Earth are no longer their focus.

With the establishment of the "China Matrix CMSX", it marks another major significance, that is, a new round of space race officially opened a new curtain, in the past, companies from European and American countries explored in this field, with a Chinese company with strong strength and economic foundation to enter, it will greatly stimulate the process of space exploration in the "post-US-Soviet hegemony" era.

At the same time as the launch conference for the establishment of the new company was held at the headquarters of Matrix Technology, far away at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA, a launch vehicle carrying 12 relay satellites, that is, the "Falcon-10B" recyclable launch vehicle produced by SpaceX, was launched here under the same day and night local time.

The head of SpaceX, Elon. Musk dropped all the work at hand and personally went to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base to see the "Falcon-10B" launch vehicle carrying 12 satellites with a total mass of more than 40 tons into space. The mass of each satellite is more than 3 tons, each satellite also carries the scientific and technological crystallization of many companies, it can be said that it is a weakened version of the "Tianqing system", these relay satellites also carry a computer, but not a quantum computer, but a photonic computer provided by Bell Labs in the United States, low power consumption, small mass characteristics are enough to make more than 200 satellites are accompanied by a photonic computer sent to outer space, and matrix technology can easily withstand such an investment, if it is like the "Tianqing system" With a unit input cost of more than 20 billion US dollars, even matrix technology cannot build more than 200 pieces.

The cost of the 12 satellites ended up being around $8 billion. For Musk, it is of great significance, this is the most expensive single launch cargo of SpaceX since its establishment, and he has to pay attention to it.

However, just after the launch vehicle was launched, Musk, who was bored, saw the latest industry news when he was browsing the news, and his attention was instantly attracted.

"XlouS announced the official launch of a new space exploration technology company, namely 'Chinese-Matrix-SpaceX' company, it is worth mentioning that another co-sponsor of the establishment of CMSX is from the China National Space Administration (CNSA), and will provide technical support for CMSX, XlouS's entry marks the birth of a new heavyweight player in the field of space exploration......" - "Silicon Valley Wired"

"NASA? What―The―F**k?? "Elon. Musk stared at the content of the message and muttered subconsciously.

He was not surprised when he first saw that Matrix Technology was going to enter the field of space exploration, and at present, most of the world's powerful technology giants have joined this field, and he did not feel surprised at all by the entry of Matrix Technology.

But what surprised him the most was that the intervention of the CNSA (China National Space Administration) not only surprised him, but also surprised him, and even made him feel anxious, like a slap in the face.

It's not just Elon. Musk is at a loss at the moment, and there is another tech big man who empathizes with him, that is, Larry, the current head of Alphabet. Page.

The biggest reason why they feel anxious and overwhelmed, and even full of a sense of crisis, is not that Matrix Technology has officially entered the space field, but the shadow of CNSA.

Emotionally speaking, both of them extremely do not want Matrix Technology to enter this field, but they are also very aware of the fact that Matrix Technology will enter the field of space exploration sooner or later, and Ren Hong's appetite and vision are destined to not let go of this high-end and cutting-edge hot field.

In fact, when Matrix Technology had not yet revealed any rumors that it was going to enter the field of space exploration, these two technology bigwigs analyzed the impact of Matrix Technology if it entered this field, and both of them came to the same conclusion.

This conclusion made them more optimistic, they believed that Matrix Technology would inevitably join this "space game", and also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of Matrix Technology in this field.

Both of them agreed that Ren Hong's biggest advantage in this field was his outrageously strong financial advantage, and no technology company in the world was richer than Matrix Technology, and this big advantage was obviously obvious. But the shortcomings of matrix technology are also as obvious as his advantages, that is, Ren Hong's achievements in space science and technology are almost zero general technical reserves, which will mean that matrix technology will spend a lot of time and financial resources to catch up with the basic technology reserves, at least five to ten years, at most twenty years is a very normal thing, and in its huge financial advantage to make up for it may be able to shorten a large part of the time, but it still takes five to eight years to catch up.

The obvious shortcoming of matrix technology will have enough time for the existing giants, whether it is Alphabet or SpaceX or even the traditional old giants, to calmly deal with the addition of this "new player", in other words, to maintain their status as an "old player" will not be shaken or even subverted by newcomers.

When all the giants thought that Matrix Technology would first spend a lot of energy to catch up with their backs, the intervention of the National Space Administration of China made these technology bigwigs take the lead, and Matrix Technology's trick caught them off guard.

Actually, they thought about it, but in that eastern country, there had never been a situation in which a government agency like the CNSA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) could provide full technical support to a private company, and they acquiesced to it, and what they thought was most impossible came to happen, and the anti-transfer of the plot was unexpected by the owner.

In any case, the fact has happened, with the CNSA (National Space Administration) providing technical support for the "China Matrix CMSX Company", the shortcomings of which were instantly made up, you must know that China in the aerospace field as a whole, although it also started decades later than Europe and the United States, but in recent years, it has spared no effort to catch up, has become the world's second largest aerospace power after the United States.

Now the actual situation is that behind the newly established "China Matrix CMSX Company" not only has an institution comparable to NASA to provide technical support, coupled with the matrix technology behind the strong financial output, the two-pronged formation of the two most powerful engines will carry the "China Matrix CMSX Company" to rise at a staggering speed, the newly established space exploration technology company has become one of the most important "super players" in the industry.

Elon. Musk was dumbfounded.

Isn't this exactly the "NASA model"? "CNSA" is "NASA" and "SpaceX" is "CMSX". In other words, is Matrix Technology going to compete with SpaceX?
