A week later.

Hawthorne, California, SpaceX headquarters.

Li Dongsheng brought a total of three engineers with him this time, plus his Sita assistant.

Of course, the Sita assistant is equipped with an over-the-range communication module.

He's had a great week working with SpaceX's engineers — and to be precise, the other side is very cooperative.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the high quality and demeanor he has shown.

If there is anything that is not very smooth, it is probably that he and his team have always spoken Chinese.

They have no problem listening to English - there is Aita's simultaneous interpretation, but spaceX engineers listen to Chinese can really take the old nose, and finally have to connect to the Aita shared network they built, and then use Aita's simultaneous interpretation.

Walking out of the God of War, Li Dongsheng listened to Aita's reminder in his ears, glanced at the distance without leaving a trace, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's the security department on Lao Mei's side, or the intelligence department, disguised as an engineer and staring.

What a careful eye...... Li Dongsheng sighed in his heart, and then he stood in the distance and looked at the God of War from afar.

Frankly speaking, the aerodynamic appearance of this ship is really beautiful and smooth, especially in line with the human aesthetics of spacecraft - at least it is much better than the "shoehorn" of "Qin" and the "fathead fish" of the Sky Survey.

But this design also shows how difficult it is to complete the liftoff and landing without the assistance of the anti-gravity module, and how much compromise needs to be made in the design......

"Lee."

In his distraction, Dr. James, who was in charge of docking with him from SpaceX next to him, shouted, "Go to the bar for a drink at night?" ”

"No, we have to go back and rest first." Li Dongsheng replied with a smile: "I have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing this, Dr. James's face became strange: "Look at your launch? ”

"Well, there are three ships in the sky this time, you have to see it." Li Dongsheng said and took out his mobile phone again, looked at it and paused: "I'm sorry, your boss is looking for me, I'll go to the office." ”

……

In the office of the chairman of SpaceX, Musk and Director Bowers are chatting.

"Powers, I don't think we can continue to fight."

Musk held the model of the Ares in his hand and his expression was extremely serious: "As an engineer, I must admit that in engineering, we are indeed a generation behind. ”

Director Bowers frowned and remained silent. After a while, he asked softly: "What is the current production capacity of Tesla's gigafactory in the mainland?" ”

"At present, the mainland's production capacity accounts for 60 percent of the total production capacity – but that's not the point, the point is that it's very worry-free."

The corners of Director Powers' mouth moved when he heard this: "Is it because of artificial intelligence production?" ”

"It's because of the distribution of the industrial chain." Musk said seriously: "The distribution of the industrial chain can complete the miracle of manufacturing." The fact that they were able to send three spacecraft into the sky at once this time is a typical example of a reasonable division of labor. ”

"I have no doubt that they are next year, the year after next, the year after tomorrow...... It's like a paper plane that can build more of these ships. ”

"They have completed the industrial chain layout and industrialization of spacecraft."

Director Bowers fell silent again.

He must admit that Musk is right.

If it is said that last year, the Sky Survey and the Invitation Moon went to the sky together, which shocked everyone, then ...... This time, the Wenyue also went to the sky again, and began to fly together with an unprecedented three ships, which brought more than just shock.

It's fear.

In the past, there was no high-end machinery and industry in the mainland - in fact, now in various "traditional high-end", the mainland has not caught up.

But does that matter?

Not at all important.

Because now we have substantially entered the space age.

Just as in the Age of Discovery, whoever builds more and more advanced ships will be able to dominate the seas.

In the space age, whoever builds more advanced spaceships will be able to dominate space.

As the director of NASA, he certainly knows the current capabilities and progress of his side.

At present, the design of the space battleship, or "air patrol" warship, has just been completed, and it will take at least two to three years to complete the construction.

When completed, the spacecraft will cruise in suborbit to counter 3001.

But everyone knows, how do you confront the 3001 that can easily complete the orbit change and orbit determination with others? When people squat at the door of their homes, do you go to challenge the 9.6 million square kilometers of anti-aircraft missiles?

The civilian helium-3 engine spacecraft, Mars, has already begun to be built and will be used to preemptively land on Mars.

But...... Now the opposite side has proposed to detect black holes, and even enter black holes!

In the face of the act of drilling into a black hole, all actions become meaningless.

Not to mention, the opposite hand firmly holds over-distance communication and artificial gravity and anti-gravity technology.

These two technologies laid the foundation for human beings to go to the deep space star sea.

Of course, the most important thing is the industrial production system built by strong artificial intelligence.

This gives the opposite side the ability to "make dumplings".

The reality is cruel, even if they are hardcore allies, as long as they still have the slightest desire to go to space, they will choose to cooperate with the mainland.

After a long time, Director Bowers sighed softly.

"How are you doing with over-range communications?"

"There is no way to crack it, because all data and protocols are activated and encrypted through Aita. Unless we can master Aita, there is simply no way. ”

Musk said and looked out of the glass, and soon he stood up and personally opened the door for Li Dongsheng.

He knew that this young man was the captain of Ye Ming's robot team at the beginning.

……

Li Dongsheng nodded at the old man, and sat opposite Musk very calmly.

If it were the same as before, he would definitely not dare to sit opposite Musk so big - just kidding, the richest man in the world, the iron man in the world.

But now...... It can only be said that the position is different, the mentality is different.

In his opinion, Musk is nothing more than a Party A, and he is also a Party A who has a request for himself.

"Lee, this is NASA's Director Bowers." Musk introduced Li Dongsheng.

"Hello." Li Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the director of NASA to be here, but he still greeted him naturally: "It's nice to meet you." ”

This time, he spoke English.

"Hello, Dr. Lee." Director Bowers also smiled and replied, "Thank you for the work you have done for the Ares. ”

"It should." Li Dongsheng immediately looked at Musk after a polite sentence.

This time, although it is a corporate act, it is necessary to avoid it.

"Lee, how long do we have until we can test?"

"Three days." Li Dongsheng thought for a while and gave an accurate time: "Of course, it depends on the completion time of your communication module." Depending on the progress, three days should be fine. ”

Musk nodded, and then asked with a smile: "Your spacecraft will be lifted off tomorrow, is it convenient to reveal?" Is it all in the hands of Aita for take-off and landing? ”

Li Dongsheng laughed when he heard this.

He thought it was something that mattered.

"Of course." He nodded with a smile and glanced at Director NASA: "In fact, as long as the sensors don't go wrong, Aita can complete the driving of all vehicles." ”

"And that includes your ships?" Director Bowers asked casually with interest.

Li Dongsheng was a little alert in his heart, but he still smiled.

"Actually, I can answer what is inconvenient to disclose, but as long as you have a little common sense, you can understand that since Aita can automatically drive the Inviting Moon, it can also automatically drive all warships."

At the end, Li Dongsheng coughed lightly again, with a lovely smile: "Moreover, we do not keep this technology secret and blockade, if your warship is in demand, we can also export the technology." ”

Li Dongsheng saw that the old man's cheeks jumped without leaving a trace.

Sand kernel pig heart, who wouldn't!
