The shock caused by Daystar Technology's space station concept map was greater than Cao Yang imagined.

Qian Junfeng is not the only person who can interpret all kinds of information from this conceptual map.

The more information this deciphers, the more interested it becomes.

Of course, everyone is interested in China, but the situation in the United States is completely different.

"Provocation!"

"This is a huge provocation to us!"

"The various restrictions on Daystar Technology have just been announced, and not only do they not ask for mercy, but they have come up with a large-scale space station plan."

"This kind of thing will never be tolerated."

NASA Administrator Gryfin feels like he's going to be.

He was also involved in the International Space Station project that year.

The United States and the polar bears have rarely joined forces, and then pulled more than a dozen other countries together to build the International Space Station.

But it costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year to transport fuel into the air, not to mention the huge amount of money spent in the entire space station construction process.

It can be said that this project is the largest space project in the last ten years.

Now Daystar Technology, a private enterprise in China, actually said that it wants to build a space station.

Judging from the current concept map, the planning space of this space station is actually larger than that of the International Space Station.

How can this thing be endured?

"Gryffin, you are the most professional in this area, is this space station project of Daystar Technology reliable?"

John frowned, a little unsure of the specific reason for Gryffind's anger.

If Daystar Technology's space station project is a mission that cannot be completed, then the other party is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and there is nothing to be angry about.

But if the other side's space station project is really going to be carried out, it will be different.

"Although it is very unreliable for a private enterprise in China to engage in a space station project."

"However, Daystar Technology's technical strength in recyclable rockets is very strong, and now the rocket with the most reuses has completed its sixth launch mission."

"In this case, they have the technical strength to build a space station."

"In addition, the brother companies of Daystar Technology, Nanshan Automobile Group and Honor Technology, are both very profitable companies, and their annual profits should exceed $10 billion, which is even much higher than this figure."

"In this case, they also have the financial strength to advance the space station project."

"After all, with recyclable rockets, the cost of building a space station will drop significantly."

When Gryfin said this, John knew it.

No wonder the other party was so angry just now.

The emotional other party announced his space station plan at this time, and it was a project that could really be done.

The more frequently the United States wants to suppress Daystar Technology, the more people will announce their various plans to let everyone know the strength of Daystar Technology.

"The space station is not a new thing."

"Daystar Technology is willing to spend a lot of money to make such a thing, and it is likely to become a project that will slow down their development in the future."

"I don't think it's better for them to toss it first?"

The United States has had its own space station for a long time, and now it is deeply involved in the International Space Station project.

So everyone is really not very new to the space station.

Since he was playing with the rest of the stuff himself, John didn't feel the need to be so nervous.

"It's not that simple, and today I've been approached by several technical experts who were originally responsible for the construction of the space station, asking if NASA has any plans to build a new space station in the future."

"They all want to be part of the new space station project, even if it doesn't belong to NASA."

"For a long time, high-tech talents from all over the world have come to us in the United States, and now if someone wants to take the initiative to go to Daystar Technology, this is definitely a very bad sign."

Gryfin was depressed and revealed a new message.

Although technology knows no borders, scientists do.

However, there are always some scientists who are more noble in their pursuit of science and technology and don't want to care so much.

Or that people can't care so much.

For example, some physicists, if they need to use some large equipment, then they have to make some compromises.

Things like large particle accelerators and colliders are not something that every country has the strength to build.

At this time, if you happen to be researching this content, then the best thing to do is to join an experimental institution with this kind of equipment, otherwise it will be difficult to get results.

In the same way, experts in charge of some of the technical research related to the space station, if they want to build the space station, then they have to make some compromises.

Obviously, there are some technical experts in NASA who are willing to make some compromises in order to be able to participate in the construction and operation of large space stations.

This kind of compromise is not what Gryfin wants to see.

"Aren't we already involved in the ISS project with a large number of scientists?"

"How can anyone be dissatisfied?"

John is not a purely technical person, and he certainly can't understand the thoughts of some technical experts.

On the contrary, Gryffin, the director of NASA, has more contact with this kind of person.

"The construction of the ISS has been completed, and there are no plans to continue to expand."

"There aren't too many construction tasks left except for some routine maintenance, which is definitely not enough to meet the needs of some people."

"Now Daystar Technology has made such a high-profile plan to build such a large space station, and the scale seems to be much better than that of the International Space Station."

"This has made a lot of technologists eager to get involved."

"At that time, our various measures for Daystar Technology will become a joke."

Thinking that all the experts in his bureau were going to join the space station team of Daystar Technology, Gryfin was irritated.

This is a loss of face and a loss of heart.

However, compared to the irritability and depression on the NASA side, the situation on the European Space Agency's side is a little different.

"Joseph, Daystar Technology suddenly announced that it was going to build its own space station, judging from the pictures released by Cao Yang, it seems that the project is very huge."

And just now, the official Weibo of Daystar Technology also reposted Cao Yang's Weibo, and also said that their space station will use a new generation of gallium nitride solar sail panels and high-strength carbon fiber materials and other world-leading technologies.

"When completed, the space station will be the largest space station ever built in the world, with twice the internal space of the International Space Station, and can accommodate up to 30 scientific research teams at the same time to live in it for a long time."

"If this plan is realized, it will be a very huge breakthrough."

The European Space Agency (ESA) is involved in the US-led ISS project.

But they only play a minor auxiliary role, and it is the United States and the polar bears who really have the right to speak.

And the ISS can only accommodate a maximum of 13 people to live in it, and most of the time it will not be used according to the configuration of 13 people.

As a result, it is very difficult for the European Space Agency to arrange for more scientists of its own to conduct experiments.

Werner has not been very satisfied with this situation.

The member states of the European Space Agency are also quite dissatisfied.

But there is no better way, so I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

Now Daystar Technology has come up with an even more ambitious space station plan, and if the European Space Agency can be involved, that meaning will be very different.

And judging from the current situation announced by the other party, after using these new technologies, the construction cost of Daystar Technology's space station is expected to drop significantly.

Even if the European Space Agency only contributed as much money as the previous construction of the International Space Station, it is estimated that it will be able to enjoy a lot more benefits.

This is also a big reason why Werner feels a little excited.

"Daystar Technology is indeed a very great company, whether it is the Starlink satellite system they first proposed or the current space station construction, it is very worthy of everyone's admiration."

"Especially now that they are facing the suppression of the United States, they can still have the strength to resist, which is very admirable."

On the side of the European Space Agency, it is clear that not everyone likes the United States very much.

It is even an exaggeration to say that many Europeans actually have an opinion about the United States.

Of course, these opinions are more of their own internal opinions, and when it comes to dealing with other competitors, they immediately join forces.

"Do you think it's necessary for us to communicate with Daystar Technology and participate in their space station plan?"

If you don't spend money now, you won't have the right to speak in the future.

It's a given.

Rather than asking for cooperation at that time, it is better to think about this aspect from the beginning.

"The space station project is very expensive, even if Daystar Technology has a recyclable rocket and a lighter design, the final cost of money is very huge."

"The key is that there is a high probability that this kind of project will not be profitable in the end, so I think Daystar will not resist other institutions joining this project."

"But I don't think the U.S. side will see us join the project."

As the director of the European Space Agency's technical center, Joseph is no longer a mere technician, but also has to consider many station issues.

Even within the European Space Agency, there are many things that need to be compromised with each other.

Therefore, he also saw the problem more thoroughly, and knew that the European Space Agency's participation in the space station project of Huaxia Enterprise was definitely not a wishful thinking of the European Space Agency itself.

Welner was also apparently able to understand the meaning of Joseph's words.

But he was definitely not willing to give up on the project.

"Let's communicate with Daystar Technology first, understand the specific plan of the space station, and then test the other party's willingness to cooperate."

"If the other party doesn't have any willingness to cooperate, then there's nothing to say."

"But if they're willing to cooperate, I think it's better to give it a try."

"This is an important opportunity for the European Space Agency to achieve technological development in space exploration technology."

"If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find a better fit in the future."

The space station is not a project that happens every year, or even for many years.

Even if there is, it is not necessarily suitable for the European Space Agency.

Anyway, Werner knew that it would be absolutely impossible for the European Space Agency to build the space station alone.

Then there aren't many options left.

The United States, polar bears, and Huaxia are just a few of them that have the strength to build a space station.

"Well, it's okay to find out about the situation first."

"We now have close cooperation with each other on the Starlink project, and it is okay to join the space station project even later."

With this conversation between Joseph and Werner, the European Space Agency was quick to spact.

Also in action is the Polar Bear United Rocket & Space Corporation.

In recent years, many rocket transportation projects of the International Space Station have been entrusted to them.

Now Daystar Technology has come up with a new space station project, to some extent, this is competing with the International Space Station.

This will definitely have an impact on the United Rocket and Space Corporation.

"Grogin, I think Daystar Technology's approach is worth learning from."

"The United States is getting worse and worse with us right now, and there are more and more disagreements."

"This has also had an impact on the development of some of our projects."

"But Daystar Technology has just been targeted by the United States, but they have not been affected at all, and they have directly made such a huge project as the space station."

Dmittli went to study the information about the space station released by Daystar Technology.

Although this information is not very comprehensive, from the content released so far, he feels a huge shock.

A gallium nitride solar sail panel alone is a great innovation.

This technology makes too much sense for the space station, and it also makes a lot of sense for the development of satellite technology.

After all, solar energy, an inexhaustible source of energy, is too important for equipment in space.

The most important thing is that through such a technological innovation, not only the power generation efficiency has been greatly improved, but also the size has been reduced.

On the ground, although the significance of miniaturization is great, it is definitely not as big as in space.

At the current level of polar bears, it would cost more than $10,000 to launch a kilogram of cargo into geosynchronous orbit.

Although with the advancement of technology, this cost is falling rapidly.

But no matter how it falls, it's definitely a very high number.

Nowadays, Daystar Technology has not only reduced the launch cost through recyclable rockets, but also greatly reduced the volume and weight of the space station, and the cost is naturally lower.

"Although the things of Daystar Technology are very meaningful, we can't learn them."

"Whether it is gallium nitride power components or high-end carbon fiber, they are all produced within their own group, and the cost is naturally very low."

"But there is no company in our country that can produce similar products, and if you want to use it, you can only buy it from Huaxia enterprises."

"The cost gap came up all of a sudden."

Grotin's mood was mixed.

The International Space Station project has been developed since 1998 and has completed all construction tasks.

However, the subsequent annual maintenance costs are actually very high, about 2 billion US dollars a year.

Although most of these costs are borne by the United States, it also means that the right to speak is taken away by the United States.

At the beginning, polar bears also had their own space station, but now they have been reduced to working for others.

Groking must not have been happy with the situation.

"That's true, the subordinate enterprises of Nanshan Group, the technological progress is too fast."

"But they at least provide us with an idea that I think we can learn from when we build our own space station in the future."

"It's really not possible, so we will buy gallium nitride solar sail panels directly from Daystar Technology."

"I believe that this can also greatly reduce the cost of building the space station."

Dmitry's words made Grotin's eyes light up.

I've just fallen into a mental trap.

Since the Chinese enterprises have researched and produced gallium nitride solar sail panels, they will definitely be sold to the outside world in the future.

Even if the price is a lot higher than that used by Daystar itself, it is very meaningful.

Similarly, high-end carbon fiber may not be able to be used by itself, but T300 and T400, which have been mass-produced by several companies in China, can also be purchased in large quantities.

That way, the cost won't be so high.

Although there is a large gap between the technical level of T300 and T1200, compared with materials such as iron and stainless steel, that advantage is not a problem at all.

Anyway, the United Rocket and Space Corporation has no plans to build the world's first space station, as long as it is enough.

"I arranged for someone to do an assessment first, and then report the project to the relevant departments."

"You should also pay more attention to the movements of Daystar Technology."

"Maybe if one of us doesn't pay attention, the other party will come up with something else."

Grogin's thoughts are not surprising.

After all, Daystar Technology is too capable of making trouble.

Every once in a while, a satellite will come out, which is a little unacceptable to ordinary people.

However, for the personnel inside Huaxia, these "satellites" are worth looking forward to.

"Mr. Cao, we have received a lot of resumes in our recruitment mailbox in the past few days, and some people even called directly to inquire about joining Daystar Technology."

"I asked people to sort out the relevant situation, and I found that this time the situation is really a bit special."

Zhao Siyu happily came to Cao Yang's office.

Over the years, Daystar Technology has not stopped absorbing talents for a quarter of an hour.

However, objectively speaking, there are still relatively few top overseas talents.

There are still relatively few high-end talents who are willing to work in Yangcheng.

But this time, after Daystar Technology came up with a space station project, it immediately attracted the interest of many people.

"What's the special method?"

Cao Yang looked at Zhao Siyu, who was a little excited, and felt a little more interested in his heart.

"We have combed through these lists, and some of them are the world's top aerospace experts, especially those with very rich experience in space station construction and operation management."

"These people have a history of work not only from NASA, but also from the United Rocket and Space Corporation, as well as from the European Space Agency."

"Basically, each country is involved in the talent for the construction of the space station, and some people have expressed interest in cooperation to a greater or lesser extent."

"Even if you don't join directly, you want to cooperate deeply."

"I think it's a great opportunity for us."

The more high-tech people are, the more they can understand the importance of high-end talents.

Sometimes, the importance of a top scientific and technical talent is much higher than that of 100 or even 1,000 ordinary talents.

That irreplaceability is difficult for people who have not been in contact with it to understand.

"There are many projects within Daystar Technology, and some projects are relatively confidential."

"We must boldly hire some of these high-end talents from overseas."

"But just because the space station project doesn't mean that our other projects have some leaks."

"So it's time to take out the space station project separately and allocate a special building for them to use."

"If there are some institutions that want to invest, it is not completely impossible to consider."

Although the current space station project is just the beginning, there are more plans in the future.

But Cao Yang doesn't mind taking out the project for financing.

Make a lot of friends and a few enemies.

This is certainly good for the long-term development of Daystar Technology.

"Mr. Cao, don't really say it, now Joseph from the European Space Agency has called me to communicate about the space station."

"Listening to what he said, I should be quite interested in this project."

"If the main member states of the European Space Agency have no opinion, then Joseph is expected to communicate with us about investing in the space station."

Although the matter has not been mentioned yet, Zhao Siyu feels that he can still mention it to Cao Yang first.

After all, it's a great thing.

"The European Space Agency wants to be part of our space station program?"

Cao Yang quickly thought about the reasons and pros and cons behind this matter, and felt that this matter could really be done well.

The market in Europe is actually promising.

A single member state may not be able to compare with China and the United States in all aspects, but when combined, it is different.

Nowadays, it is very difficult for Nanshan enterprises to develop in the United States, but they can still work hard for their development in Europe.

In addition, those markets in Africa and South America, many countries in Europe also have a great influence.

"Yes, but we don't have a lot of information to the outside world right now, and they shouldn't be so quick to make a decision."

Zhao Siyu said with certainty.

If such a project could attract the participation of an agency like the European Space Agency, that would mean something different.

Of course, in the end, it is also worth considering whether to agree to the participation of the other party, or in what form.

Shares are definitely not given easily.

But if you want people to spend money, you have to think about the plan.

"Let's talk about it first."

"We'll make a further judgment when they're out!"

Cao Yang naturally didn't need to make any further judgments at this time, and he would talk about it after he figured out the situation.
