Chapter 315 Negotiation
Musk is not a loss, but he is a marketing genius. Even a piece of shit can make him play with it.
What's more, it allowed him to get the black technology product "Starry Engine", which instantly caused a sensation around the world. After all, this Hall thruster that can reach the Thousand Niu level means the possibility of long-distance travel in space.
"Will Meow Star Group actually sell it to Musk? There is definitely a PY transaction here!"
"Of course there are transactions! Haven't you read the news from a while ago?"
On the surface, Musk lost money by selling "Star Link" to Cattle Star Group at a low price. Not only did he lose his hard work for six or seven years, but he was also paid by Zhou Lin to pay the purchase fee after the money he earned from "Star Link".
This approach is no different from making money from nothing.
But for Musk, he did not lose much. Before Meow Star Group entered the space field, the future overlord of the market in this area was naturally. Unfortunately, Zhou Lin did not leave him much time. After helping SpaceX launch satellites and enter the sky, he immediately announced his plan to enter the space satellite communications market.
In this way, the prospects of "Star Link" are very worrying. Even if you can use the first-mover advantage to be able to fight against Meow Star Group for several years without a chance of losing, Keer will fail due to technical reasons.
Meow Star Black Technology is not a joke!
Faced with this situation, Musk made a quick decision and threw out the hot potato, and then took this opportunity to get a ticket to Mars.
After all, the ultimate goal of "Starlink Network" is to raise funds for Mars immigration. Since it is doomed to fail, it simply exchanges for maximum value.
Musk firmly believes that he can do things that others cannot do. As long as he does not have any technical skills, he dares to beat ten people alone!
In fact, this is the case. After Musk gained the share of Star Engine, the "Space Tourism" project launched immediately became popular quickly. It not only completely avoided the advantages of Meow Star Group, but also found a new source of funds for itself.
This space tourism is actually very simple. First, use the starry sky engine to build a space station hotel outside space, and then use the Falcon Rocket to send guests to near low-Earth orbit, so that the space station can fly over and take guests over and fly around the earth in the space hotel.
When the travel time is up, use a rocket to pick up the guests.
In this plan, it was originally the most difficult and costly to build a space station, because even Mao Xiong could not build a new space station after its own space station reached its service life.
With the "Starry Engine" and [Earth Cannon], such things suddenly become much easier. Just make the space station into parts, use electromagnetic rail guns to launch them, enter low-Earth orbit and then start the "Starry Engine" to push them to the designated position.
Then use the "stand-alone robot" and "Nine-tailed Cat" to put them together. The whole process does not require human astronauts to do space operations at all. Related remote control technology will make this kind of thing extremely simple.
Faced with Musk's slutty operation, everyone in the Meow Star Group was speechless. They could only watch their own technology to make money, but there was nothing they could do.
"After all, manned space program is still our shortcoming!"
Academician Ma pointed out a problem when analyzing with the executives of Meow Star Group: "Musk seized this point, turned his own disadvantages into advantages, and made his space tourism project popular. On the other hand, our plan seems too conservative and too unimaginative!"
Zhou Lin and others smiled bitterly when they heard this. It was not that they had no imagination, but that they rely too much on Li Maoye's black technology. Everyone wants to be stable when doing things, but they do not have the fighting spirit of Musk.
...
The snow mountain launch base, [Earth Cannon] is making final preparations for launch.
This time, the Meow Star Group launched the Communications Center Space Station. According to the plan, it will be divided into 23 launches. Each launch will send nearly 5 tons of components to low-Earth orbit.
Unlike before, the new electromagnetic rocket is equipped with the "Starry Engine", with a total of four units. It can be started after entering low-Earth orbit, continue to deliver goods to the synchronous orbit, and then eject the space station components.
During the process again, the electromagnetic rocket gained the power of recoil and flew back toward the earth. After entering the atmosphere, with the help of the "Starry Sky Engine" and the reduction parachute, the electromagnetic rocket was able to return and land at a relatively accurate trajectory to the designated location.
On the other hand, after the space station components are all arrived, the [Earth Cannon] will launch and transport a certain number of "stationary robots" and "Nine-tailed Cats" over, and then ground personnel will direct the "Nine-tailed Cats" to assemble the space station through the "stationary robots".
Since neither requires a survival system, and both are equipped with a "Starry Sky Engine" and have certain space flight capabilities, space operation is similar to swimming for them.
Even if the communication signal between the "stand-in robot" and the ground has a few seconds delay, the main work is the space version of the small auxiliary mobile phone robot like "Nine-tailed Cat", so there will basically be no big problems.
"The 'Star Link' we bought back at this time will be of great use!" Academician Ma explained to the visitors at the command center. Now not only the Cattle Star Group is fiddling with this matter itself, but even the three major communication service operators have sent people to follow up, because this project involves the 5G communication construction plan of the Zanghuajia.
In fact, "Starlink" is equivalent to a space communication base station. Each satellite is a signal transmission point, so the biggest influence is communication service operators.
If Musk had not sold it to Miaoxing Group in packages, perhaps these communication service operators would have found a way to build a similar satellite network by themselves. Even if there is no such plan now, they will definitely be forced by the market to do it in the future.
"In the communication network structure we designed, the communication center space station is a very important part. Starlink already has complete student functions and can be directly put into use, but for the sake of 5G communication technology, we plan to wait until the space station is completed before conducting joint commissioning..."
Academician Ma means that the space satellite communication network of Miaoxing Group has a core, and the communication center space station is the core of this network. In order to avoid reworking in the future, it is best to do more things now.
During their conversation, the last electromagnetic rocket was launched, loaded with five "stand-alone robots" and fifty "Nine-tailed Cat" models.
Soon the console said that the electromagnetic rocket had entered low-Earth orbit and that the "Starry Engine" was ignited normally. It only took a while to fly before it could reach the designated position of the synchronous orbit.
"Then it seems that there is no problem now. We just need to wait for the news!" Academician Ma signaled that other visitors could leave. Even if they continued to wait, it would be useless. It would be better to let someone go back and rest.
More than ten hours later, under the action of four thousand-nine thrust engines, the electromagnetic rocket finally accelerated to the near synchronous orbit, and then ejected the cargo inside according to the computer's control.
At this time, the ground received a signal, and immediately let five staff members enter the egg cabin to connect to the "stationary robot", and activated the power supply of the "Nine-tailed Cat" and issued an order to assemble the space station.
It is troublesome to direct and control the "Nine-tailed Cat" through the screen and cannot be adjusted according to the on-site environment. However, it is different to have a "stand-alone robot" to assist in the control. The staff is as if they are in space. They can sense the status of the space station at 360 degrees and then make decisions based on the actual situation.
"If there is no delay for a few seconds, it will be perfect!" said a staff member.
"It's okay! At least I don't feel like there is a frame drop!" Another staff member replied that he was pushing one of the space station components in an attempt to get it closer to the other so that it can be combined together.
In fact, this delay has been optimized through the program, making them feel that it is much smaller than the actual delay, and at least they did not wait for a long time after doing an action.
The "nine-tailed cats" like round octopus are much more flexible. They are like fish in the deep sea swimming up and down, left and right, back and forth, and can work according to the on-site situation and the instructions of ground personnel.
More than a week later, the communication center space station weighing more than 100 tons was finally assembled.
The three major communication service operators, Telecom, Mobile and Linkage, all came to Pengcheng Meow Star headquarters. They planned to discuss cooperation matters here, and Yu Chengdong, the boss of Huayao Company, was also involved.
"Everyone, this is the equipment performance and quotation given by Huayao and Miaoxing!" Zhou Lin straightforwardly and handed the documents to others.
Before this, Yu Chengdong had more or less learned about the 5G communication technology jointly developed by Cat Star and Huayao. Especially after combining the liquid cat plug-in algorithm and "Starlink", the 5G communication achieved is not only very fast, but also has a very large communication range, and can be spread throughout almost every corner of the world.
However, when everyone saw the limit distance and coverage area on the file, everyone was still shocked. "The communication radius of low-road loss of each satellite is so large? It can reach a range of hundreds of kilometers?"
"Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhou, has the 5G communication performance data been improved again?" asked the mobile person.
"It should be the change brought about by joining the 'Starlink'? You have to ask the technical department for specific technical questions. If you have any questions, you can send someone to test it!" Zhou Lin did not answer the other party positively. Anyway, the data cannot be fake, and even if it is wrong, it will be discovered soon.
"It's not that we suspect, but that this performance is so shocking that it's unbelievable for a moment!"
"Yes, the 5G performance standard has just been running for a few years, and it has actually improved so much. Doesn't it mean that it is now the 6G era?"
Faced with this kind of unmarked flattery, Zhou Lin's heart was not fluctuating at all.
"Let's talk about the price issue!" he said.
Chapter completed!
