"What do you think of China's moon landing and its plan to build a base on the moon?"

"Thank you for the invitation. It's not unusual to land on the moon. It's not the first time.

The combined number of lunar landings by Amerikan and China is almost double figures.

Moon bases are a completely new thing in reality, having previously only existed in science fiction literature.

As early as 1904, China had a science fiction work - "Moon Colony", which described the situation of human colonization on the moon.

The author at that time may not have imagined that today, more than a hundred years later, China would take the lead in building a base on the moon, ushering in the era of interstellar colonization in the true sense.

Of course there is no life on the moon, which is not the same concept as the colonization of the last century.

Humanity has only begun to move into space in a real sense. From this moment on, human investment in space can be converted into income.

The income here refers to bringing resources back from space, using space in the universe, etc.

Rather than the income brought by the civilianization of aerospace technology.

It was exciting to witness this historic event in person.

It is really not easy for China Aerospace. Although the budget is far less than that of Americen, it has achieved catch-up in most fields and even overtaken it in some fields.

There are many aerospace bloggers who have explained technical matters in detail in other answers. As a non-industry person, I will not show my shame here.

I would like to talk about the significance of the lunar base from the perspective of commercial aerospace.

First of all, we can see that Musk has tweeted that he will cooperate with CNNA in the future, and SpaceX will launch a lunar tourism plan in the future.

Of course, there is a question mark as to whether CNNA will cooperate with him, but from this incident it can be seen that the future profit prospects of commercial aerospace are gradually becoming clearer.

In the past five years, the turnover of the spacex space tourism project has increased by more than 100% every year, and nearly 50 space station tourism tickets worth 350 million yuan have been sold.

I don’t know how many ordinary space shuttle tickets were sold.

Including Bezos’ Blue Origin and Branson’s Virgin Galactic, the private space industry’s turnover has exceeded 10 billion RMB.

One of the profit directions of commercial aerospace is tourism. The environment in which the rich are getting richer cannot be fundamentally changed, so private aerospace with high prices will only become more and more popular.

Especially under the premise that the current economic situation is stagflation and people's investment returns are declining, the enthusiasm of the rich for investment is declining, and they want to ensure that their principal slightly outperforms inflation.

Under this premise, wealthy people pay more attention to personal experience and feelings, which is also one of the important reasons why private spaceflight has become popular in recent years.

China also has its own private aerospace companies, but most of these aerospace companies are middlemen, equivalent to travel agencies.

There is currently no company that actually builds its own spacecraft and then engages in private spaceflight based on its own research and development of spacecraft.

This is because most of China's technical personnel in the aerospace field are concentrated in cnsa, and very few will flow into the commercial aerospace field, unable to form a complete force.

Most domestic commercial aerospace companies are still working on some projects outsourced by cnsa, and they mainly make a living as Party B's technology supplier.

There are very few private enterprises in the true sense.

Of course, there are still excellent domestic commercial aerospace companies, many of which are listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

The leading company, Aerospace Ruite, has developed a completely different route from traditional vertical recycling and won a large order from cnsa.

Chinese companies are more scattered in various subdivisions of aerospace, and there are no companies that integrate technologies like SpaceX.

It can be said that the most important purpose of domestic commercial aerospace companies is to serve CNSA well and get orders from CNSA.

Having said that, the success of China's lunar base will only stimulate countries to increase investment in the space field.

Space mining will gradually become a reality in the future.

Blue stars may gradually become purely habitable, with other planets in the solar system becoming sources of blue star material.

Space mining is not far away from us, and large-scale space mining is also within our lifetime.

The abundance of resources in the future will bring about the next golden age.

In my opinion, the explosion of aerospace technology is an opportunity no less than the Internet revolution.

It's just that in this area, China needs to improve regulations and clarify the entry conditions, codes of conduct, legal responsibilities and rights of market entities.

And in the process of implementation, policies, laws and regulations are constantly improved.

The commercial aerospace sector needs to stimulate the enthusiasm of private enterprises.

I don’t have any objections to CNNA or state-owned enterprises in the aerospace field, but aerospace requires innovation and a certain degree of fault tolerance.

The nature of state-owned enterprises makes them naturally inclined to be conservative. If they are just conservative, we can only repeat the route that Amerikan has taken in the field of technology.

In this case, it is better to let private enterprises that can tolerate failure and accept risks take on the important task of exploring technological frontiers.

If you want to take the lead in the future aerospace field, you cannot just rely on catching up.

Although there are various criticisms on the Chinese Internet, Musk's spacex has indeed promoted the integration of commercial aerospace technology to a very exaggerated level.

In the field of rocket launch, SpaceX has occupied more than 80% of the market.

Russian Aerospace, which previously relied on its low-cost advantage to obtain a large number of commercial orders, now has a market share of less than 10%.

You must know that fifteen years ago, Russia’s market share of commercial launch orders exceeded 50%.

SpaceX relied on continuous iteration to develop the Merlin engine with a backward structure into a world-defying thrust-to-weight ratio and throttling capability.

Coupled with rocket vertical recovery technology, SpaceX’s low-Earth orbit delivery unit price has been reduced to 1,000 yuan per kilogram.

According to official data, the Long March 5 has a transport capacity of 25 tons and a cost of about 1 billion RMB, which means that the unit price per kilogram is 40,000 RMB, which is more than five times the price of SpaceX.

I wanted state-owned enterprises in the aerospace field to develop recyclable rockets. When two explosions failed in the early days, the project was terminated and a problem analysis report was written.

We need private companies that can afford to fail and fail repeatedly to enter the commercial aerospace field.

We want to encourage this behavior.

The successful construction of China's lunar base is a good opportunity to stimulate private capital's interest in space exploration.

We should have complete incentives to guide private capital into the commercial aerospace field. "

Innovation requires the ability to accept failure. Only when you can accept failure calmly and start over again can you start talking about innovation.

China's private enterprises do not lack the courage and enthusiasm for innovation.

Back then, Ahri invested massive resources in the public cloud, but persisted despite seeing no progress.

HiSilicon's Kirin chips, including Huawei's, were initially ridiculed by bloggers in the digital industry, but they persisted until the day HiSilicon came to fruition.

These are success stories. After Rice’s pine cone chips failed, they were half-given up.

There are also many cases of failure.

However, compared with state-owned enterprises that cannot accept failure, the innovative spirit of private enterprises is still much better.

There is still something wrong with what the blogger above said. Now China is no longer using the Long March 5 rocket. China has transitioned from the Long March 5 to the Long March 6.

It’s just that this news has not yet been disclosed to the public.

The Long March 6 uses a new launch vehicle model and is powered by 21 engines.

The modified yf-100 series liquid oxygen kerosene engine is used, which has a considerable improvement in performance and belongs to a multi-parallel configuration.

It is a brand new type with a transport capacity of more than 50 tons and a cost of 15,000 RMB per kilogram.

At the same time, if the test of Aerospace Ruite's recyclable technology on the Long March 6 goes smoothly, the cost can be further reduced.

Moreover, the transportation between China's Blue Star and the lunar space station also uses reusable manned spacecraft.

The spacecraft can be reused more than ten times.

...

"The project we are cooperating with CNNA will be carried on the next moon landing."

Li Miaomiao and Zheng Li were also discussing privately the Chinese moon landing plan.

But it does have something to do with them.

"Our VR helmets and the robots controlled by VR helmets will enter China's lunar base."

Li Miaomiao is quite proud that the products of his company can enter the lunar base.

Kechuang Biotechnology is also one of the suppliers of cnsa.

When CNNA was planning to build a lunar base, it realized the benefits of brain-computer connection technology.

Especially after the brain-computer connection VR is updated to the second generation, especially after domestic companies have begun to engage in industrial VR.

After the CNNA actually tested the new generation of brain-computer connection technology, it decided to apply this technology to the lunar base.

"And it is said that it was originally going to be brought up this time, but the weight of the robot exceeded the standard, and the astronauts will not have much external activities.

Their most important purpose this time is to build a lunar base. The next time it involves an external mission, robots may be used. "

China's main consideration is to control robots outside through brain-computer connection.

Save astronauts' energy as much as possible.

In particular, the robot's physical strength depends entirely on the amount of energy. With its body covered with photoelectric conversion devices, the robot's physical strength and endurance far exceed that of humans.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Very good."

Among the seeds that China brought to the moon this time, a few seeds were stolen by Zheng Li.

He wanted to see how the magic plant seeds he cultivated would work in space.

Zheng Li cannot go to the moon for the time being, so he can only rely on Chinese astronauts to help him complete this experiment.

Anyway, as long as the data is stored in the data storage device of the lunar base, he will be able to obtain the growth data of these seeds after bringing the brain-computer connected VR device to the moon next time.

This is why when cnsa came to Kechuang Biotechnology, Zheng Li was very active in helping them integrate technology.

He also has his goals to achieve.

As his research deepened, Zheng Li gained a new understanding of biological cloud technology and the construction of a global biological network.

Especially in the process of building the Magic Network in England, Zheng Li gained a new understanding of the nature of magic and biological networks.

The Magic Network has a long history in the Mage Alliance, but Zheng Li only knew about this thing when he was in the Mage Alliance before, but he had never built it himself.

This is like knowing that you have a router at home, but you have never set up a network yourself. You only know how to use it.

Work such as setting up a magic network is exclusively done by mages for external expansion.

Zheng Li is a research mage.

Most mages with functional orientation are approaching the end of their lives, and it is difficult for them to make new breakthroughs in science.

Zheng Li was far from that point back then.

He had always thought that the Magic Network was a backward mechanism. After building it himself, Zheng Li realized that the Magic Network was not backward, but rather inappropriate for the environment of the Mage Alliance.

The magical world constructed by the Magic Network is suitable for use. Magic can make the life of intelligent life more convenient.

The magic of the magic network system can fight, live, and work, but it is not conducive to research.

What research requires is accuracy, and the requirements for precision are very high, and the Magic Network is not very able to meet this requirement.

The Magic Network magic is obviously very rough and is a customized product.

But this gave Zheng Li a new understanding of the nature of magic.

The essence of magic achieved by the magic network and the magic brain is the same. It is just that the medium merges with your body or it is faked by external force.

The magic brain is a combination of powerful forces. It will be deeply integrated with you and become an integral part of your body functions.

Zheng Li has now recovered 70% of his ability when he was in the Mage Alliance.

At least on Blue Star, there was nothing that could threaten him.

First of all, Blue Star Civilization must first determine his true identity. It is almost impossible to discover his true identity in Kuala Lumpur.

In addition, it is necessary to completely block the artificial intelligence detection controlled by Zheng Li in communications.

Because as long as Blue Star discovers clues about Zheng Li's true identity and there are personnel changes, Zheng Li can escape at any time.

Once he hid in the sea, no one could find him again.

Until today, Zheng Li has some sense of security and can do what he wants.

“In addition, a group of middle-level managers have recently been found to be corrupt, including some of the people who have been with us since the beginning of our business.

I suddenly felt that I knew people but not their hearts.

There is a feeling of being very tired. "

Zheng Li consoled him: "All intelligent life is like this.

As long as you have your own thoughts, you will have desires.

Even if human beings go to space, you can't change people's desires.

Unless everyone's desires are met, it takes a lot of effort before that can be achieved. "

Speaking of which, when Zheng Lili founded the Mage Alliance, he went through numerous turmoils before forming a stable state.

Zheng Li thought for a while and then said: "Do you want to become a mage?"

"I recently got another magic coin."

"If you want, the magic brain corresponding to this magic coin will be given to you."

Zheng Li will now do whatever he wants, let Li Miaomiao become a mage, and just act according to his own ideas.

In fact, when he founded Kechuang Biotech, he wanted Li Miaomiao to become a mage.

Because Li Miaomiao's ability cannot match that of a major manager of a large enterprise.

At that time, Zheng Li wanted to give Li Miaomiao a shot of magic brain to speed up her growth.

At that time, because he did not have much ability to protect himself, and Cheng Gang did a pretty good job, Zheng Li did not put his idea into practice.
