Where is the development direction of Nanshan Group, where is the hot spot.

Jaguar Motors is engaged in a motorcycle, which can be out of the circle and constantly refresh various records.

Land Rover Motors engaged in a mountain bike, which also attracted many Land Rover owners to buy, which made Giant and other bicycle brands nervous.

Now Cao Yang followed Zhao Siyu and others to the Northwest launch site, ready to witness the launch of Qixing 9 again.

Previously, Daystar 9 had successfully completed its first launch and was successfully recovered.

Today's launch is to use the recovered rocket and re-launch.

If the last launch successfully verified the recoverability of Venus-9, then this launch is to verify the repeated launch performance of Venus-9.

It can be said that this launch is not at all less significant than the previous one.

Only when the same rocket is successfully launched again and sent into space for the second time can it be regarded as truly recyclable and reusable.

Otherwise, you can recycle it, and there is no way to reuse it, and it doesn't make sense.

"Mr. Cao, I heard that Daystar Technology is already preparing the second and third rockets."

"Starting next month, there will be at least one rocket launch every month, so that our Starlink satellite system can start to be assembled as soon as possible."

Li Su also followed him to the northwest launch site this time.

Geely Automobile's status in the Chinese automobile industry is not low, and Li Su's influence is not small.

Especially in the past two years, Geely Automobile has begun to enter a stage of rapid expansion, wanting to impact the first position in the sales of Huaxia's own brands, and even want to pull down the first position of GM.

On this basis, they also attach great importance to the development of diversified industries.

Participating in the Starlink satellite system is a very bold attempt made by Li Su.

Seeing that Qixing 9 has successfully sent the first batch of 60 satellites into space, if it can be successfully launched today, then the construction of the Starlink satellite system can be regarded as entering the fast lane.

"Yes, not only the second and third rockets are being assembled, but the next few rockets are already being prepared."

"According to the company's plan, the first batch of Daystar 9 is ready to produce 10 pieces, and then it will be improved and upgraded."

"In addition, Daystar No. 9 MAX is also progressing in an orderly manner, and it is estimated that we will be able to meet you for the first time next year."

Li Su usually never interferes in the affairs of Daystar Technology, but now that people have asked, Cao Yang naturally has no need to hide anything.

The impact of the Starlink satellite system is very great, whether it is at home or abroad, it needs more partners to promote it smoothly.

Cao Yang saw this very clearly.

So for the two launches, Cao Yang invited Li Su to come over for a visit.

"60 satellites can be sent into the sky at a time, if it is launched once a month, the Starlink satellite system can be initially set up in a year, and it will be slowly improved in the future."

Li Su is now looking forward to the Starlink satellite system more and more.

At that time, Geely Automobile's car machine system will be able to use the Starlink satellite system, just like several luxury brands of Nanshan Automobile Group, which is of great significance.

To a certain extent, this can enhance the brand power of Geely Automobile.

In the future, it can also be used on Volvo Cars, so that it can further expand the luxury car market in China.

"According to the current plan, next year the Starlink satellite system can begin to try to intervene in the car machine system, and our Honor mobile phone will also be connected with the Starlink satellite system in the future, and it will be used as soon as possible."

The launch cost of such a huge Starlink satellite system is very huge.

So many people are not optimistic about it.

The more this situation is, the more Cao Yang needs to come up with some visible results as soon as possible.

Otherwise, many people will lack confidence in the Starlink satellite system.

It is definitely unrealistic for such an important thing to be completely in the hands of Cao Yang.

In the short term, it is also very difficult for the Starlink satellite system to make a profit, and it is very good to be able to lose a little money.

Therefore, Cao Yang did not think about monopolizing its shares, and it was enough to ensure his identity as the largest shareholder.

"A year ago, no one would have imagined that our Starlink satellite system would be developing so fast."

"Daystar Technology has brought too many surprises to everyone."

Li Su admired Daystar Technology from the bottom of his heart.

Nanshan Automobile Group is already very powerful, but compared with it, Daystar Technology is even better.

"Hopefully, this launch will go smoothly, and we expect to have more major launches next month."

"When the time comes, let's fully see the development potential of Daystar Technology."

Just when Cao Yang was communicating with Li Su, preparations for the relaunch of Daystar 9 were already in progress.

Today there was a very suitable launch window, and all the preparations were very smooth.

The launch team has gone through previous launches and conducted simulations for an unknown number of times, and is very familiar with the process of each link.

So Cao Yang's mood is very calm now.

Even Zhao Siyu, the person in charge of Daystar Technology, is now free to chat with Qian Junfeng and Zhu Yuanming.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard that your Daystar No. 9 MAX has completed the design finalization and is ready to produce samples for testing?"

Qian Junfeng is also very concerned about the development of Daystar Technology.

For some amazing results that pop up from time to time on Daystar's side, his feelings are more complicated.

On the one hand, he naturally hopes to see China's aerospace industry develop rapidly and lead the world.

But on the other hand, he is a little worried that Daystar technology is developing too fast and performing too well, which will make aerospace technology a little unbearable.

Qixing Technology is a penny, and there is no state funding.

But what about aerospace technology?

They spend tens of billions of dollars every year, and if the results are not as good as Daystar, it will be impossible to say.

Of course, some of their achievements are not suitable for public display, and this part of the content is more difficult to measure.

At that time, this reason can also be used to block the doubts of relevant departments.

"Mr. Qian, you are very well-informed."

Zhao Siyu glanced at his old leader and generously admitted it.

"We hope that the first launch of the Daystar 9 MAX will be carried out before the end of next year, and according to the current progress, everything is normal."

"The Long March 5 over there in aerospace science and technology has to speed up the progress."

As the person in charge of the rocket research and development project in aerospace science and technology, Zhao Siyu is naturally very familiar with the situation of the Long March 5.

The Long March 5 was officially established in 2006 and is a large-scale cryogenic liquid strap-on launch vehicle.

According to the design and planning, the total length of the rocket is 56.97 meters, the take-off mass is about 869 tons, and it has a carrying capacity of 25 tons in low-earth orbit and 14 tons in geosynchronous transfer orbit.

It can complete the launch tasks of various spacecraft such as low-earth orbit satellites, geosynchronous transfer orbit satellites, sun-synchronous orbit satellites, space stations, lunar probes and Mars probes.

The research and development of the Long March 5 is of extraordinary significance.

Once successful, Huaxia's carrier rocket can be upgraded, which is a key step from a space power to a space power.

At that time, the carrying capacity of the Huaxia launch vehicle in both low and high orbit will jump to the second place in the world.

However, once the Daystar 9 MAX is successfully launched, it will be considered ahead of aerospace technology.

This situation must be rather embarrassing for aerospace science and technology.

After all, the Long March 5 has been in operation for almost 7 years now, but it has never entered the official launch.

At the current pace, it is estimated that it will take several more years to lift off.

"The Long March 5 will be the flagship product of our aerospace science and technology in the future, and we are very careful about the design of each part."

"We need to make sure that the launch is 100 percent successful by then, and there is no room for jokes."

"So in terms of R&D progress, there is definitely no way to compare with Daystar Technology."

Zhu Yuanming glanced at Qian Junfeng and stood up to answer Zhao Siyu's question.

To be honest, his mood at this time is definitely complicated.

Because no matter how many reasons are given, there is no way to change the fact that the Long March 5 is likely to launch later than the Daystar 9 MAX.

At that time, it may be that the relevant departments will exert greater pressure on aerospace science and technology.

Even some orders for space launches may be handed over to aerospace science and technology.

"The quality definitely needs to be guaranteed, but the speed can't be slowed down."

"Otherwise, it will not be so easy to surpass the United States to become the world's number one space power."

Zhao Siyu didn't mean to stimulate Zhu Yuanming, but really felt that some movements on the aerospace science and technology side were a little slower.

It may take half a year to improve the problems pointed out in a stage of technical evaluation, and then enter the next stage of technical evaluation.

As long as there are any problems with any parts during the evaluation process, or if some experts raise some new concerns, the project team needs to make improvements.

Individual parts have even been changed back and forth dozens of times.

In this case, the speed of research and development is naturally not fast.

Unlike Daystar Technology, sometimes it is directly produced on the drawings, and then after testing the single product without problems, it will start to enter the next link.

"Mr. Zhao, will your Daystar No. 9 MAX also be a recyclable rocket at that time?"

Qian Junfeng could feel Zhu Yuanming's embarrassment when he communicated with Zhao Siyu about the Long March 5, so he immediately raised a new question and wanted to change the topic.

Recyclable rockets are now a hot topic all over the world.

Whether it is China, Europe, or the United States, there are companies that have entered this field and want to get a piece of the pie.

"All the rockets developed by our aerospace science and technology are recyclable rockets, and this will never change."

"When the time comes, after the successful development of our Daystar 9 MAX, it will not be so difficult to send some supplies to the space station."

"We've even started to get in touch with the person in charge of the ISS to discuss the possibility of delivering supplies to the ISS in the future."

As soon as Zhao Siyu said this, Zhu Yuanming and Qian Junfeng immediately became a little sour.

Has Daystar Technology started to think about going abroad?

It's a bit fast.

Fortunately, the relaunch of Daystar 9 has entered the final few minutes.

So everyone is slowly not in the mood to chat there.

At this time, everyone is boiling, staying up to watch the moment when the rocket is successfully launched.

Fortunately, a few minutes are not too tormenting, and it will pass after a little wait.

Soon, with the countdown, Daystar 9 was officially ignited and lifted off.

"Ignition successful!"

"The rocket broke away from the launch tower without a hitch!"

Seeing that Daystar 9 rose from the ground again and flew quickly into the air, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Daystar 9 can be successfully lifted off again, this is already a very huge improvement.

As for the later links, it is naturally the best that everything goes smoothly.

Even if it doesn't go well, it can be said that it is in the past.

Therefore, the internal propaganda draft of Daystar Technology about the rocket launch has prepared several versions.

When the time comes, just take it out and use it at any time according to the results.

In fact, many space launches, especially manned space launches, have several versions of press releases.

"Mr. Cao, congratulations!"

"The Daystar 9 recyclable rocket is another record."

"If we continue to develop at this pace, Daystar Technology will have a bright future in the future."

Although Qian Junfeng was a little sour, he was still relieved to see Daystar 9 successfully take off again.

How to say that Daystar Technology is also a part of the Chinese aerospace industry.

When it needs its help in the future, Daystar Technology will definitely support it.

Qian Junfeng is still very confident in this.

"It's not the end of it, if we can successfully recycle it again, it will be a new record."

Cao Yang was not so proud so early, Daystar 9 is still in the air, and the first-stage rocket and the second-stage rocket have not yet separated.

Maybe at some point, it will turn into a giant firework.

So it's natural to be humble at this time.

Anyway, everyone is Chinese, and they are more familiar with each other's modest words.

"Mr. Cao, the rocket technology of Daystar Technology is developing so fast, I think you can spend more effort in the research of missiles, maybe you can bring surprises to everyone at that time."

Qian Junfeng thought about several big projects in his hands, and the pressure was also very high.

If he can pull Qixing Technology to work on missiles together, then even if the final part of the credit is divided, he can accept it.

Because for Qian Junfeng, the most important thing to do now is not the question of whether the credit is enough, but the question of whether the missile project in his hand can be successfully completed.

"We already have miniature missile products, and we will continue to develop some new models of missiles in the future in combination with the needs of UAVs."

Cao Yang did not refuse, and directly gave his own answer.

Daystar Technology is now developing drones as its own fist products.

Whether it is a twin-tailed scorpion drone or a Golden Eagle unmanned helicopter, it is a leading product in the industry.

On top of that, they are also working on several new drones.

Whether it is a real stealth drone, a larger unmanned bomber, or a drone with other uses, it is being studied.

Of course, aerospace science and technology is certainly not simply developing drones, in terms of business jets and large helicopters, in fact, it has been working hard.

It's just that before the product is officially offline, Cao Yang doesn't want to be so high-profile.

After all, the enterprises of the Nanshan system occupy the position of Weibo headlines every three or five times, which is already a very high-profile thing.

If this goes any further, it may not be a good thing.

"You're not thinking about building big missiles, like cruise missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles?"

In Qian Junfeng's view, if Daystar Technology can produce rockets so smoothly, then there must be no problem with developing missiles.

After all, missile technology and rocket technology are actually the same.

To a certain extent, ballistic missile technology can even be verified through rocket technology.

"These important weapons of the country depend on aerospace technology, and our little arms and legs can't move these big guys."

In Cao Yang's view, from the perspective of actual combat, the various missiles used with UAVs are the most valuable.

Of course, this is not to say that ballistic missiles are not important.

But in this regard, Huaxia's level is actually not bad, and it is basically enough at present.

It is said that the atomic bomb is most powerful only when it is left on the launch stand.

Ballistic missiles are actually about the same.

Without nuclear warheads, in fact, ballistic missiles are of very low significance.

"Mr. Cao, the first-stage rocket and the second-stage rocket have been successfully separated, the second-stage rocket continues to send the satellite to the designated position, and the first-stage rocket descends for a while and then begins the second ignition."

Just when Qian Junfeng and Cao Yang were chatting, Zhao Siyu reported on several key progresses.

Then, everyone didn't have the heart to continue chatting.

Because the time for the first stage rocket to be reclaimed is very close.

There is a real-time picture of the rocket on the big screen, and you can clearly see that it is descending rapidly.

And when it was still dozens of seconds away from the ground, it cared about the ignition before landing.

With this ignition, the rocket's descent speed was further reduced.

The tail that breathes flames gives people a very shocking visual impact.

Slowly, the first stage of the rocket came towards the ground, and the speed was further reduced.

Many people don't dare to breathe, and they don't dare to roll their eyes for fear of missing something.

"The rocket landed successfully!"

With this sound coming from the console, everyone immediately let out a loud cheer.

This time, the second launch was carried out using a recyclable rocket, and the recovery was carried out smoothly.

This means that the Venusstar 9 recyclable rocket has been successfully developed!

As for whether the third launch can be carried out smoothly in the future, it doesn't matter much.

……

The launch of Daystar 9 was also broadcast live on the Internet.

And the approximate launch time has been announced to the public before the launch.

So whether it's on the Internet or in the area near the northwest launch site, there are many people watching this launch.

SpaceX, which is far away in the Pacific Ocean, will naturally not miss this launch.

"I didn't expect the second launch to be successful, and Daystar 9 really set a new record."

Dears had mixed feelings, watching Daystar 9 land in the designated recovery area.

What they have been trying to achieve for so many years has been accomplished by others first.

"The success of Daystar 9 is a good thing for us."

"This means that we had no problems with the direction of our previous development."

"What the Chinese people can come up with, we must also be able to come up with."

"The problems that arose during the last launch are now basically solved."

"Next month, our Falcon 9 modification can be launched again."

Musco is as confident as ever.

As the head of the company, he needs to pass on this confidence to everyone.

"Our basic research in rocket technology is definitely no worse than that of Daystar Technology."

"They were just lucky enough to get ahead of us, and we'll definitely be able to catch up later."

Dears realized that he might have been a little too depressed just now.

So I immediately adjusted my mood and showed a confident look.

"Daystar is a company that's getting more and more interesting."

"Speaking of which, I've already had some crossovers with them."

"Previously, Tesla's large-scale die-casting machine was purchased from Nanshan Equipment, a brother company of Daystar."

"The fact that a Chinese company can make this achievement shows that the world's richest man is still not small."

Tesla has a certain understanding of the related enterprises of Nanshan Group.

After all, Tesla and Future Auto are both focused on high-end new energy vehicles, which can be regarded as competitors worldwide.

Tesla purchased a die-casting machine from Nanshan Equipment, and the relationship is a little more complicated.

Now SpaceX and Daystar Technology are in competition for the development of recyclable rockets.

So things are getting more and more interesting.

"That Cao Yang is indeed very talented, and has made some very remarkable achievements in many fields."

"It's such a character who deserves to be your opponent."

Who says Americans don't know how to pat on the back?

What Diers said made Musco feel very good.

After all, at the beginning of 2013, he was far less famous than later generations.

The current Cao Yang is definitely able to crush him in terms of fame.

He also saw this very clearly.

The stronger the opponent, the more passionate he is.
