Hearing this question, Ren Hong was silent for a moment and said, "Of course, the biggest purpose of establishing the Chinese matrix is the ore on Mars, and in my concept, it takes three major steps to finally bring the amethyst back to Earth." The first major step during this period, that is, the construction of a permanent space station of great scale, since it is permanent, then its volume will naturally grow larger, and over time it will become an island of unprecedented scale in human history. In addition to the main purpose of use, commercialization can begin from here. ”

Ren added: "In the future, it can be available to people all over the world. Space tourism makes us eat the first crab, strictly speaking we are not the first, some people have not only eaten crabs, but also eaten a lot. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Director Xu looked at each other with puzzled eyes, he really didn't think of who it was, if there was, it was only the International Space Station that had crashed, but it couldn't be considered a real crab.

Ren Hong explained: "Founded in January 2015 in San Francisco, USA, SpaceVR was the first person to eat crabs, when the company sent a satellite with VR camera function to the International Space Station through a SpaceX rocket, and then sent it into the earth's low-earth orbit through a secondary launcher on the space station, which can shoot a 360-degree panoramic image and fly around the earth at a speed of more than an hour. Transmit the image back to Earth, so that users on Earth can view the space scenery through virtual reality VR. ”

At this moment, Ren Hong suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this company was still a seed investment led by our Chinese company Shanda back then, and now it seems that Chen Tianqiao has made a lot of money here." ”

"But it's a good sign for us, and the popularity of watching space in virtual reality shows that the future of space tourism is very promising." Ren Hong said: "In the future, we can open this permanent space station to the public, so as to realize space tourism, specific projects such as experience spacewalk, weightlessness experience, etc., in addition to space tourism, this space station can also be open to scientific research institutions or organizations around the world that need research in outer space." ”

"There are many profitable projects on the space station, and the benefits are also considerable, and it can be closed and opened to the public when we need to use it, and we can continue to develop and engage in commercial activities when we don't need it very much, and we can find a balance between the two."

"I see." Director Xu nodded silently when he heard this.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is indeed not the strength of the space bureau in terms of commercial operation, Ren Hong can find multiple profit points with a casual remark, and it is obviously beneficial for both to hand over the company's operations to Matrix Technology, and both Matrix Technology and the China National Space Administration agree that a balance is needed.

On the third day of the China National Space Administration's arrival at Matrix Technology, the group company officially announced the latest official news.

The "China Matrix Space Exploration Technology Corporation", that is, the "China Matrix CMSX", was jointly initiated and founded by the China National Space Administration and Matrix Technology, and after the announcement of this news by Matrix Technology, the China National Space Administration confirmed the authenticity of the matter two hours later.

A week later, the company's establishment press conference was held at the headquarters of Matrix Technology, and under the attention of domestic and foreign media reporters, Ren Hong signed a contract with Director Xu, the leader of the China National Space Administration.

The "China Matrix" was officially established.

"Hello, I'm Yang Yu, a reporter from Weifeng Technology, may I ask Mr. Xu, what role does the China National Space Administration play in the 'China Matrix CMSX' company?"

Director Xu, who was sitting on the stage of the press conference, coughed lightly, bent the microphone to his mouth, and said: "NASA has been exploring the road of high-tech transformation productivity and commercialization for a long time, and NASA's approach has given us a great inspiration. Today's great success for SpaceX shows that NASA is on the right track when it comes to translating technology into productivity. ”

Director Xu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he looked at the reporter who asked the question, which was serious nonsense: "In fact, as early as many years ago, the China National Space Administration was looking for a partner who could replicate the NASA model, but there are very few companies involved in this field in China, almost all of them can be ignored, the scale of the existing companies is not formed, there is no technology, there is no capital, there is no talent, and more importantly, most of its helmsmen lack long-term vision. It won't last a few months and you'll die......"

Director Xu's words simply did not give the industry practitioners a trace of face, and even had a feeling of hating iron and not steel, and after a while, Director Xu, who showed helplessness, suddenly changed his tone and said: "...... It wasn't until I heard that Matrix was going to venture into space exploration that I concluded that our best partner had been born. Although Matrix Technology has almost no technical reserves in this field, it can be said that it is a complete blank, but we all know that the company's technical research and development capabilities, coupled with abundant funds, because of the technical gap in Matrix Technology in this field, it is obviously unwise to burn money on the technology that still appears, and cooperation is naturally promoted. ”

"As for NASA's role in this, refer to NASA."

After a while, another reporter named said: "I'm from Reuters reporter Morris. Wade. Hello! Mr. Ren, what is the main development direction and positioning of 'China Matrix CMSX'? Hearing Mr. Xu's answer just now, does this mean that the 'China Matrix CMSX' company will compete with the 'space exploration technology company SpaceX'? ”

As the Americans, the Chinese matrix has just been established, and it has begun to work for Elon. Musk is worried, or rather "worried" about American companies.

Ren Hong replied: "Space exploration is a relatively vague concept, and it covers a very wide field. At present, most of the world's famous technology giants have been involved in the aerospace field, the traditional old giants of space exploration, the world's top ten aerospace companies such as SS/L (Laura Space Systems), etc., and the emerging such as Alphabet (umbrella company), Amazon (Amazon), SpaceX (space exploration technology company) and so on. ”

"Larry. Paige and Jeff. Bezos and they have all joined this luxury club more than ten years ago, there is no reason for Matrix Technology to be left behind, although we are latecomers, but we have the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to check, I believe that Matrix Technology will not only join it, but also become one of the heavyweight players that cannot be ignored. ”

"As for your question. Elon. Musk said that he wants to make SpaceX the most popular air transportation company in the solar system, which is Musk's positioning for SpaceX. Then the Chinese matrix CMSX company also has its own positioning, we set up this company to promote the progress of all mankind in the field of space exploration, and our positioning of the Chinese matrix is intended to develop the entire solar system. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the exclamation of the audience, this ambition is not ordinary, they did not expect that Ren Hong would set his eyes on the entire solar system. But is it possible?

Ren Hong saw that everyone in the audience had almost the same skeptical gaze, and he smiled: "Dreams always need a little imagination, and Matrix Technology is a company that turns imagination into reality, and we have indeed made many imaginary things impossible to realize." Speaking of this, Ren Hong looked at the reporter who asked the question and replied: "This is the positioning of the Chinese matrix, will it compete with SpaceX?" I can't tell you the exact answer, because our positioning of this company determines its development direction, and any field related to space exploration is likely to be involved, as long as we feel the need, we will be involved, and I hope that China Matrix can also be a great company. ”
