Aerospace science and technology's actions, Zhao Siyu must have a good report with Cao Yang.

After all, in the future, the launch of Daystar 9 will still need to use other people's launch sites, and there will be a lot of cooperation in other aspects.

Daystar Technology not only has Starlink projects, but also drones, helicopters, business jets and other projects in development.

There is still some room for cooperation with aerospace science and technology.

"Mr. Cao, I feel that the aerospace science and technology side may have felt a lot of pressure during this time, so I am eager to participate in our Starlink project."

"They want everyone to know that aerospace technology supports Daystar, just as NASA supports SpaceX, and the relevant departments of Polar Bear support United Rocket and Space Corporation."

Zhao Siyu still has a relatively accurate grasp of his old club's thoughts.

Having been in that place for half his life, he could also understand why the other party had these thoughts.

Therefore, to a certain extent, he tends to give aerospace science and technology a step down, so as not to be a little embarrassed by everyone.

"How do they want to work with us?"

Cao Yang was naturally able to understand what Zhao Siyu said.

After all, on the Internet, whether at home or abroad, topics related to Starlink are very hot.

In particular, polar bears and the United States have made some big moves one after another, and as long as they go online, they can more or less see some related news.

If there is a lot of this kind of news, it will naturally bring invisible pressure to aerospace science and technology.

"They are ready to use our Daystar 9 MAX to participate in future missions to supply the space station, and are also considering giving us some of the satellite launch missions."

"At the same time, in terms of satellite design on the Starlink satellite system, they also want to form a strategic cooperation with us, and we will share some resources to design the Starlink satellite."

"I think these are all a kind of sincerity on their part, and we can consider further communication."

Zhao Siyu's attitude is relatively clear.

Cao Yang has no opinion on this.

Let's communicate first, see how specific cooperation projects and cooperation intentions are, and then find a suitable time to release them to the public.

In this way, it can not only further maintain the popularity of Daystar Technology, but also calm the pressure on some aerospace science and technology.

This should also be the result that the relevant departments are happy to see.

"Well, then I'll fly to the imperial capital next week and have a good chat with them."

"Especially their space launch center in Qiongzhou, I think we can directly negotiate with them to buy shares or sell a piece of the area to us."

"This should be very beneficial to the advancement of our Daystar 9 MAX and Starship projects in the future."

Regarding Zhao Siyu's proposal, Cao Yang naturally has no opinion.

There is no need for Daystar Technology to build a separate space launch site by itself, that kind of action is too big.

Just make use of other people's aerospace technology.

And just when Huaxia, Polar Bear, and the United States are all making a fuss because of the Starlink system, it is naturally impossible for Europe to have no movement at all.

Looking at the world, the countries and regions that can truly participate in the formation of the Starlink satellite system are Huaxia, the United States, Polar Bear and the European Space Agency.

Although other countries such as Tianzhu are also working hard to improve their aerospace strength, the gap is still relatively large.

"Joseph, is the technical threshold for this recyclable rocket really that high?"

As the director of the European Space Agency, Werner is also very worried now.

The European Space Agency was founded to bring together European nations to compete with the United States and polar bears in space.

After all, when the two great powers were competing, Europe could be regarded as recognizing itself and knowing that it would not be able to win against each other alone.

Since their official establishment in 1975, they have achieved some results.

The Ariana rocket, the Vega rocket, the Rosetta comet probe, the Venus exploration satellite, the Columbus orbital equipment, and other things are all considered to have been created by them.

However, on the whole, their rocket technology is still relatively far behind that of the polar bear and the United States.

Otherwise, they would not have started working with the Polar Bear in early 2005 on a new Soyuz rocket.

However, before they could come up with any decent results, Daystar Technology's recyclable rocket Daystar 9 was successfully launched.

The first launch of SpaceX's recyclable Falcon 9 also took place.

The United Rocket and Space Corporation on the polar bear side also officially announced that it would enter the field of recyclable rockets, and gave a specific schedule.

In this way, the pressure is on the side of the European Space Agency.

If the European Space Agency cannot be found in the space race of the new era, many Europeans will be disappointed.

"Although I don't want to admit it, the threshold is really high."

"According to our current speculation, if the technical research center is going to develop a recyclable rocket, it will take at least more than five years."

"It's not surprising that even if the situation is not ideal, it may take eight or nine years."

"At that time, our competitor's recyclable rockets had already been put into commercial operation on a large scale."

Joseph didn't dare to brag easily at this time.

Otherwise, Werner really assigned him the task at that time, and then he would have to sit on wax.

Joseph has been keeping an eye on recyclable rockets and Starlink satellite systems since last year, and he must have been thinking about whether it is possible for the European Space Agency to come up with something similar.

But the more you know about technology, the more you know that these things are not easy to do.

In particular, recyclable rockets require a very advanced design of the control system, which is also a great test of software programming and control logic.

This is something that the European Space Agency is lacking at present.

"If we can't do it on our own, can we do it together with other companies?"

"For example, we will bring in large companies such as Airbus Defence and Space, Eutelsat, SES and Thales Alenia Space to form a new company to take care of our own Starlink project."

"I think this can greatly reduce the development time."

Werner didn't want to give up on the STARL project easily.

In his opinion, this project is of great significance.

First of all, it will help to increase the competitiveness of European countries in the global communications market.

Second, this competition will accelerate the development of satellite Internet technology, so that more regions can benefit from convenient and high-speed Internet services.

Finally, in the process of developing independent satellite networks, European countries will accumulate valuable experience and technology to lay the foundation for future space exploration and scientific and technological innovation.

However, the idea is very good, but it is very difficult to implement it.

After all, the European Space Agency is not an organization under a certain country, they have a large number of member countries, and everyone has their own careful thoughts.

Germany, for example, may wish it could play a bigger role in the system than France.

Other countries also have their own ideas, so they haven't actually achieved a lot over the years.

"It's okay to try, but it's very difficult to actually implement it."

"For such a large project costing hundreds of billions of euros, the source of funding will be a big problem."

"When profitability is far away, private capital will not invest in us easily."

"But it doesn't seem realistic to rely on member states for funding."

When Joseph said this, Verna's face darkened.

It's a pity that what he said is the truth, so Werner can't even lose his temper if he wants to.

"Are we just going to see ourselves falling behind?"

In response to Werner's words, Joseph chose to remain silent.

He had no way to answer.

Because the truth is a bit brutal.

"If Starlink is really integrated with the 5G network, or only partially integrated, it will have a great impact in the future."

"None of our communications companies are in a hurry?"

Werner continued.

At this time, Joseph didn't speak all the time, and said: "Now 4G has just begun, and many people feel that 4G has been a historic breakthrough, enough for many years. ”

"As for 5G in the future, if it can indeed be much better than 4G, then it can continue to be used."

"If the difference isn't that big, then continue with 4G."

"The heads of these communication companies basically don't have to worry about the 5G network bringing any major blow to their company's performance during their tenure."

Joseph told the truthful story he knew.

This made Werner's mood even worse.

The work of the European Space Agency is not easy to do.

In particular, it requires funding from member states every year to stay afloat, and Werner spends a lot of time in the year arguing with member states.

This kind of hard work, he felt a little unbearable.

……

Regardless of what moves the European Space Agency has on its side, Musco is now staring at the actions of Daystar and Polar Bear United Rocket and Space Corporation.

In his opinion, only these two adversaries can pose a threat to SpaceX.

"Dears, the polar bear has reintegrated the domestic aerospace industry, and the aerospace science and technology group in Huaxia, which is in charge of the national aerospace industry, has also made various moves against Daystar."

"Our Falcon 9 must launch the first Starlink satellites as soon as possible this year."

Time waits for no one, and Musco didn't want to force the people below to work.

But if you don't force it, you can't do it.

Wait any longer, Huaxia has already launched hundreds of satellites into space.

"We have ready-made rockets, and the Falcon 9, which does not have a recyclable function, has a larger launch weight than the recyclable version."

"So even if the recyclable version is not successfully developed, it will not affect the rocket liftoff."

"But in terms of communication satellites, we have only recently started researching them, and we have not had results so quickly."

"Originally, NASA wanted Boeing to help us develop these satellites together, but Boeing seems to have its own ideas and wants to work on the Starlink satellite system alone."

Dils is naturally quite clear about the situation in the United States.

SpaceX is definitely leading the way now.

But there are no rivals in the country, and everyone's thoughts are not exactly the same.

Intel, for example, is not joining the ranks of investing in SpaceX, and Boeing is not willing to play with them.

None of these giants can be provoked by SpaceX.

"The Boeing gang are old and stubborn, and it's normal to look down on us nouveau riche."

"But since they don't want to get involved, let's just dig up experts in this area."

"In addition, NASA will also provide us with some help, and we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough faster when the time comes."

Musco has always been a man of confidence.

Even if he is facing great difficulties now, he firmly believes that he can succeed.

This is something that many people can't do.

"Well, if it goes well, we don't need to wait until the end of the year, and in the third quarter our first rocket will be able to launch with satellites."

"After that, we can maintain the launch frequency at least once a month, and send more Starlink satellites to designated locations in space."

As soon as Diels said this, Musco couldn't help but nod.

SpaceX's satellites really need to be put into orbit as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will be occupied by others at that time, and it will be disgusting.

……

The United States, polar bears, Europe, and Huaxia are all discussing the matter of Starlink, and Huaxia naturally doesn't want to miss this wave of heat.

So they specially arranged personnel to do an exclusive interview with Zhao Siyu.

In this interview, Zhao Siyu explained the positioning and role of the Starlink satellite system in detail, and also shared some ideas on 5G-related aspects.

Although he also admits that 5G may not be 100% completed using Starlink in the end, it will definitely be a big trend in the future.

Especially with the continuous improvement of satellite technology, Nanshan Semiconductor has been preparing gallium nitride power amplifiers, switches, filters, etc. for Starlink satellites.

The purpose is to greatly improve the performance of the satellite.

At the same time, Nanshan Carbon Fiber's T1200 carbon fiber will also be used in a large number of Starlink satellites.

When the time comes, the new generation of Starlink satellites will be larger, lighter, and more powerful.

Even solar panels are combined with GaN-related components to achieve a significant increase in performance.

These are new technologies that have not yet been used in large quantities by other countries, and will soon be used in Daystar's Starlink.

This has a big impact on the United States and polar bears.

As for the European Space Agency, it was completely confused.

Whether it's a rocket or a satellite, the technology gap is a bit big.

I don't know how to catch up if I want to catch up.

……

"The relationship between Musco, SpaceX and NASA is not one of competition and antagonism, on the contrary, we are a business partnership and a mutually beneficial and win-win relationship."

"This time, I hope you can accept the investment of various giants, absorb some of the outstanding talents provided by them, and build our Starlink system as soon as possible."

NASA Administrator Gryfin personally went to meet with Musco to exchange views on various things that had happened during this time.

Back in 2008, NASA began a partnership with SpaceX.

That year, SpaceX's fourth rocket was finally launched.

But with the first three rockets failing to launch, Musco's personal assets were almost exhausted, and SpaceX and Tesla were on the verge of closing their doors.

Seeing that Musco was about to lose the salaries of its employees, NASA reached out and signed a large order with it to provide 12 resupply services to the International Space Station, with a contract value of up to $1.6 billion.

At the same time, NASA also gave it about $278 million directly to fund the development of the Falcon 9.

Not only in terms of funding, but also in terms of scientific research, NASA has given strong support to SpaceX.

In fact, many of SpaceX's core technologies still come from NASA and its many subordinate space flight centers and laboratories.

NASA has transferred its R&D results and confidential technology over the years to it through patent transfer and other means.

For example, the prototype of the Merlin engine used on the Falcon 9 is the same engine used by NASA for manned landings on the moon.

NASA transferred a full range of technologies related to the Merlin engine to it, allowing it to be modified and upgraded on the basis of the original.

In addition, NASA has also arranged for many core backbones to join Space Exploration Technology Company.

As for the provision of R&D equipment and experimental sites, this is even more needless.

It can be said that SpaceX is a company supported by NASA.

Now that NASA needs SpaceX to make some compromises, it is impossible for Musco not to think about it at all.

"The more shareholders there are, the more voices there will be, and the final speed of development will not necessarily become faster."

Although there are rumors that many companies such as Qualcomm and Motorola want to invest in space exploration technology companies, this matter has not been officially announced.

Because Musco is still playing with these companies.

It's okay to invest money, but you can't interfere with the company's operations.

This is certainly not in the interest of investors.

NASA, which has been a little anxious, can't help but stand up as a middleman.

After all, some companies, such as Northrop Grumman, were willing to cooperate with Musco only after NASA played a role.

"They don't have more shares than you, and even if everyone is against it, the board can continue to move forward with the project according to your ideas."

As soon as Gryfin said this, Musco was a little unsure of how to refute it.

He certainly wanted SpaceX to grow faster, but he didn't want to lose control.

"Look at Huaxia's Daystar, people are now constantly absorbing new shareholders."

"And Huaxia's aerospace science and technology is also constantly supporting Qixing technology, which is a very dangerous thing for you."

"I want you to think about this from the perspective of global competition, from the perspective of the space race."

Gryfin is also a well-known figure in the United States, and he is very familiar with Musco.

So naturally it will not be so polite to speak.

"Internet companies have a plan to implement AB shares, and their investors can have shares, but not all shares have voting rights."

"If that's acceptable, then join in."

"If you can't accept it, it's no problem to continue with our previous plan."

Musco made a certain concession, which made Gryfin breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he can't immediately agree for other investors, at least he knows it.

Soon, SpaceX signed strategic investment agreements with various investors.

A large amount of money also quickly entered their accounts.

The speed of the formation of the Starlink satellite system can be regarded as entering the fast lane.

This increasingly fierce situation made Fang Sisi a little worried.

"Ayang, our Daystar Technology is now involved in such a space race project, and there will be a lot of pressure at that time."

Although Fang Sisi is not involved in the daily management of Daystar Technology, she is very concerned about the business of the five major groups.

The hot search on Weibo has been dominated by Starlink, Space Race and other related topics for a long time, and it is a little difficult for her to know even if she wants to.

"It's not so much a race as it's a catch-up."

"We have laid the foundation for the lead, and as long as we continue to develop step by step, they will not be able to catch up."

Cao Yang is very confident in Starlink.

Even if you only use Daystar 9, you can complete various subsequent launch missions.

Daystar 9 MAX just served as the icing on the cake.

"But this involves the 5G standard, and this time it becomes a lot more complicated."

"If there are too many stakeholders behind it, it is also very detrimental to the implementation of this project."

Fang Sisi knew that Daystar's Starlink system would definitely damage the interests of a number of enterprises and individuals.

The rise of any industry will definitely have an impact on some of the original enterprises to a greater or lesser extent.

It's a given.

The rise of online shopping has hurt brick-and-mortar stores greatly.

The emergence of online car-hailing has impacted taxis.

Starlink has given wings to 5G, and naturally a large number of related enterprises will be affected.

There are things like Warwick that can be seen, and some of them are not so obvious.

The interests behind it are definitely complex.

Fang Sisi is more sensitive to this kind of thing.

"The matter of 5G communication, when the time comes, let the three major operators rush to the front, we don't need to worry about it."

"As for the damage you said about harming the interests of some relevant parties, then there is no need to worry."

"Over the years, the rise of our Nanshan system has already offended a large number of people."

Cao Yang shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression.

Starlink satellite system, he must do it.

When the time comes, we will engage in more military products and improve China's military strength.

So some people and companies overseas, even if they hate the enterprises of the Nanshan system and Cao Yang very much, they can only stare dryly.

The fate of an individual is sometimes closely related to the strength of the country.
