Technology: Breaking the Global Monopoly

Chapter 2314 New Moon-Chasing Starship

Mask felt a little dizzy when he heard these scientists and business elites in his family arguing about one issue after another.

Just when he subconsciously wanted to have some Taoyao to refresh himself, he suddenly remembered that because Jiuzhou Technology had tightened its control over drinks like Taoyao, the Taoyao he could get now had already turned into liquid gold...

Although he had saved a lot of money in the early years, Mask still felt that he should save some money.

SpaceX, OpenAI, Tesla... these top generals and elites of the Mask business empire came and went in this villa, and finally argued for a long time and came up with two plans that they thought were the most feasible.

One is to thoroughly deepen cooperation with Rosen Technology and allocate a large number of engineers to moon landing-related projects. Tesla was originally reducing production, so these human resources can be utilized.

The other one is to directly discuss cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology. It is not an ordinary cooperation, but to invite Jiuzhou Technology to enter companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI by investing in technology, label their own products with Jiuzhou Technology, and then occupy the Daxia team...

Faced with these two options, Mask still did not choose either one.

The average distance between the Blue Planet and the Moon is about 384 kilometers. According to the theories of Western scientists, the flight time from the Blue Planet to the Moon is about 400 days, 2 hours and 11 minutes. However, in actual operation, due to factors such as fluctuations in orbital motion, load, rocket thrust, etc., the actual time from rocket launch to moon landing is about 55 to 3 days.

At the same time, this time span also depends on the type of rocket, the launch orbit and the specific mission objectives.

After all, sending people to the moon is much slower than transporting a lunar probe.

However, Jiuzhou Xinghai Company's moon landing mission set a special time record. In exactly two days, the JZ-001 rocket was already flying in the lunar orbit, and a much larger Moon-Chasing Starship, after determining parameters such as coordinates, flight distance, and current orbit, separated from the rocket at the exact time and dived towards the "building complex" on the moon.

"Although we have upgraded the buffer system again, everyone should still not let down their guard and check the safety fasteners again..."

"Please rest assured, there are staff and medical robots on the lunar surface to meet us..."

In fact, there are not only specially selected staff members on the lunar surface to provide support, but also live broadcast cameras from Jiuzhou Xinghai Company.

Under the attention of netizens around the world, the Moon Chaser's power engine was performing reverse thrust when it was not too close to the lunar surface, until its speed slowed down to the point where netizens in the live broadcast room could see the landing with the naked eye.

When the Moon Chaser landed steadily on the moon, the reinforced building materials around it did not stir up the moon dust. Under the direct sunlight, the shuttle-shaped design of the Moon Chaser, because of the self-repairing coating on the surface that can resist the impact of tiny gravel and cosmic particle radiation, looked like a real "alien spaceship" landing on the moon, causing waves of amazement. In the exchanges between netizens, the Pentagon's team of engineers and scientists are "working overtime" again.

Almost every time Jiuzhou Technology comes up with a technological product that can be used in the military field, these few remaining "fruits" are forced to work overtime.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Moon Chaser of Jiuzhou Xinghai Company should be made of nano-alloy superimposed on honeycomb ceramic composite materials. Otherwise, its surface material would not be so stable. After all, it is flying at high speed..."

"The tail of this spacecraft is designed with symmetrically distributed circular warp engines. When it is recoiling, the power engines equipped on the side wings are also working. It is obvious that this spacecraft is not only suitable for flying in a zero-gravity and non-atmosphere environment, but also can fly at extremely high speeds in the atmosphere as long as the flight control system and propulsion system are designed accordingly. My current question is what is the maximum flight speed and range limit of this spacecraft, after all, its size is not small."

"The hull of this Moon Chaser is also very well designed. Its designers have also distributed micro vector thrusters all over its body. I guess even if Jiuzhou Technology's infinite array engine fails, these vector thrusters can ensure that this Moon Chaser can make precise turns in a zero-gravity or microgravity environment."

"Daxia developed the Liudai fighter a few years ago because they have excellent materials science and flight control, and they also have a powerful enough wind tunnel. The Moon Chaser sent by Jiuzhou Xinghai Company this time is obviously different from the previous Moon Chaser, but it was able to perform so stably in its first mission. I personally believe that Jiuzhou Xinghai Company, or Jiuzhou Technology, must have reached a secret cooperation agreement with Daxia officials, used Daxia's most powerful wind tunnel for multiple tests, and collected enough data."

"Dr. Thomson, your statement is obviously misleading. Don't you know that Jiuzhou Technology obtained permission from the Daxia government many years ago to build a wind tunnel belonging to Jiuzhou Technology? And after the successful construction, Jiuzhou Technology's commercial and military trade versions of drones have undergone great changes in both appearance design and functional component design. It is obvious that Jiuzhou Technology's wind tunnel also has excellent performance."

"Excellent performance? No matter how excellent the performance is, Jiuzhou Technology can't build a wind tunnel more powerful than Daxia's official one! Daxia's official wind tunnels were all built by a group of geniuses in the last century. Now Daxia's official one may not be able to replicate those top-notch wind tunnels, let alone Jiuzhou Technology?

I admit that the engineers at Jiuzhou Technology are excellent, but the wind tunnel is not so simple to develop. We originally wanted to use computer simulation to save resource consumption. Although we saved some money, the price was that we were completely backward..."

After listening to the "nonsense" of the top scientists and engineers that the Pentagon could currently summon, Gu Qing decided to close the communication channel.

"[Xuanwu] Please help collect and organize this information. Also, in the future, you should go through the meetings of engineers and scientists at the Pentagon and NASA first. Once you have confirmed that there is information of high value, notify me. Do you understand?"

Facing Gu Qing's helpless sigh, the mechanical voice of [Xuanwu] also fluctuated slightly: "I have recorded your order, sir. I am sorry to waste your precious time."

Hearing the voice next to him, Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "I didn't expect that this group of people still have outdated ideas."
