Chapter 662 [Go Your Own Way, Let the Opponent Have No Way to Go]

Chapter 664 [Go your own way, let the opponent have no way to go]

end of March.

At a time when the industry is hotly discussing the Star Arrow International open source event, Luo Sheng is currently holding a video conference with the leaders of Aerospace Science and Industry, Aerospace Science and Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The content of the discussion is the open source technology of Star Arrow International's recyclable rockets.

"Comrade Luo Sheng, today we are not here to question you about opening up rocket technology. After all, this is a market behavior, but we still want to know whether Star Arrow International will still be open to higher-end technologies in the future? There are also strategic issues that can be easily said. Do you want to?" said the leader of the Science and Technology Department on the video screen.

This incident has surprised many people. At present, in China, Star Arrow International has the most advanced rocket recovery technology in the country, and the Ministry of Science and Technology also attaches great importance to this matter.

Luo Sheng didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment. It is possible to say a little about strategic issues, but not all of them. Now is not the time.

After a while, Luo Sheng smiled and said, "On the issue of open source technology, how to open source depends on competitors. I have open source if there are competitors, and of course I won't open source if there are technical competitors I have."

The general manager of Aerospace Science and Industry said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, I have to say that your move is really a bit damaging. If I were Elon Musk, I would probably not be able to sleep in the middle of the night because of your anger."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile, and then continued: "As for the strategic issue, looking at the development process of my country's opening up in the past few decades, we are examining the scale effect formed by the cooperation of institutional advantages and the changes in the agglomeration effect of the talent industry. It has become the largest corpse economy in the world today, and the first developing country in the East that can challenge the industrial hegemony of developed countries in the West since the three-hundred-year industrial revolution.”

"Our industrialization is not a process of capital accumulation, but a process of metabolism of old and new industries. Our learning speed exceeds the innovation speed of the West, so we can 'catch up'. In the first three decades, our learning speed exceeded the speed of Western innovation. In the next 30 years, we will achieve a speed of innovation that exceeds the speed of learning in the West.”

"my country's aerospace industry still needs more talents, and Star Arrow International is also in urgent need of talents, including other industries. If we want to make our innovation speed surpass the Western learning speed in the future, talents are the foundation, and the purpose of open source is actually It is to further increase the growth of the talent industry, the older generation has completed the historical mission, and our generation has begun to take up the burden and leave our opponents in the garbage heap of history."

This sentence suddenly made everyone speechless, because it blocked everyone's mouth from a fundamental point of view and could not object.

And indeed it is,

It is beneficial to the country, and it is also beneficial to Star Arrow International. It is not in conflict between the public and the private, but complements each other.

Luo Sheng added with a smile: "After the open source, not only Chinese talents will learn and research, but foreign talents will also learn and research. This is for sure. If foreign talents improve by 20 points, our talents will improve by 100 points. Hedging off 20 points, we are actually still ahead by a large margin by 80 points, and the reason why we say we will innovate faster than the West is learning is because our country has the largest group of engineers in the world."

The leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology couldn't help but nodded silently in agreement. Of course, the whole world and human civilization as a whole are making progress. Everyone is making progress, but the degree of progress is different. Some people are progressing fast, and some people are making slow progress.

As long as the speed and quantity of domestic talents are higher than those of foreign countries, of course, the speed of innovation must exceed the learning speed of foreigners.

The video conference was over soon, so I came over to ask about the situation, but it wasn't a big deal.

Star Arrow International's open source data is also a good thing for national teams such as Aerospace Science and Industry, Aerospace Science and Technology Group, and can be directly used for reference research.

The Ministry of Science and Technology also saw Luo Sheng's confidence in Star Arrow International from this not too long video conference. Dare to do so is obviously confident that he will master more advanced technology in the future, otherwise open source will help others, you must know this If you make a block to your opponent, it will also affect yourself and block yourself. Only one level ahead of your own technology can avoid this embarrassing situation.

...

The next day, another piece of news caught people's attention, and Google suddenly jumped out to intervene, and it also made a wave of presence in open source data.

Larry Page directly posted on his MicroBlog social account: Google is considering open-source sharing of the "robot dog" project developed by Boston Dynamics, which it acquired, and the driverless technology of Google's X Lab to the world. code.

Another world-renowned technology giant announced that it would take the route of open source sharing. For a time, the word "open source" became a popular term in the technology industry.

On the Internet, whether open source technology is better or closed technology is better, there are still different opinions, and the war of words is a lot of fun.

But in this case, they found that the tech giants had begun to make choices, giving a sense that all of a sudden, the wind of open source was popular all over the world.

In fact, the so-called open source to change the ground is to form a group to stand on the top of the mountain. To choose a technical system means to accept the standard of the technical system, and whoever controls this standard has the international pricing power. .

The best way to defeat an opponent is not to destroy the opponent, but to turn the opponent into one's own person, and it is best to become one's own tool person willingly.

Larry Page, who was on the outside but knew that one day he would not be able to stay out of it, understood this and realized the benefits of having fewer enemies and more friends. As an industry leader, he gave his younger brothers a bite to eat and tied them up. In their own chariots, they are both prosperous and prosperous, and they have fundamentally eliminated the idea of ​​​​that they want to "follow the following" and do something unreasonable.

It’s not just Larry Page, a tech giant, who understands this, but Elon Musk, who is in it, also sees it clearly.

Not long after that, just entering April, SpaceX also released an important announcement, open source SpaceX rocket-related data on Github - SpaceX-API.

Obviously, this move makes people see that SpaceX is entangled, and Elon Musk is a helpless move between a dilemma.

The strength of open source is not as good as that of Star Arrow International, because if it wants to reach the strength of Star Arrow International, then SpaceX will have no technical advantage, but Luo Sheng's Star Arrow International offset this part of the competitiveness, but he still has an unparalleled "money" ability".

The comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, Elon Musk certainly knows this.

Luo Sheng can withstand Star Arrow International for five or six years without earning a penny and continue to burn more than 10 billion or even 20 billion US dollars a year, but Elon Musk's SpaceX company can't do this, he did not " "Cash Capability"

Once the open source efforts follow up, there may be no orders, no source of income without orders, and no other channels to cover SpaceX's financial expenses. The final result may not be able to operate, and thus face the risk of bankruptcy.

And if it can't keep up, it will let the emerging private aerospace companies that are about to emerge next to adopt the technical standards of Star Arrow International.

The dilemma created by Luo Sheng's operation for SpaceX is almost a dead end, blocking the road. If you follow up, you will die quickly, if you don't follow up, you will die slowly, but whether it is fast or slow Death, the result is death, no difference.

It's really about going your own way, leaving your opponents with nowhere to go.

This is not just the awkward situation SpaceX is facing right now, but also North American private space companies such as Blue Origin, Sierra Nevada and Orbital Sciences.

Luo Sheng relies on his "money ability" to make Star Arrow International surpass the innovation speed of its peers in terms of learning speed. After five or six years of learning and catching up, it has already equaled the achievements created by its opponents in more than ten years. , if the "money capability" continues to increase efforts to catch up with the opponent, it is only a matter of how long it will take.

At that time, the situation will be reversed, and it will be the opponent's turn to start learning to catch up with Star Arrow International, but without Luo Sheng's "money ability", it is impossible for Elon Musk to give SpaceX 20 billion per year. dollars in R&D investment.

The result must be that the learning speed cannot keep up with the innovation speed of Star Arrow International, and the living space is constantly squeezed in the long run, and the fate of the final exit seems to be doomed.
