Chapter 707: Develop Aerospace Technology
"Mr. Musk, congratulations on your company's major breakthrough in rocket recovery technology. Your company's development and contribution to the development of global human space technology are obvious to all..."
Cai Ruichen raised his glass to Musk while talking. The latter raised his glass with some pride after hearing Cai Ruichen's words.
Musk, the global technology madman, founded the Space Exploration Technology Company by early investors more than ten years ago, and the Falcon rocket launched by him can realize launch recovery and reuse technology.
At present, there is already a technology that can recycle rockets that have been launched to 1,000 kilometers, but this technology is not yet 100% mature.
However, SpaceX's biggest gain was reducing the cost of a single launch to $60 million.
Compared with the current cost of rocket launches in the world, which are all over hundreds of millions of dollars, it can definitely be said to be a huge progress in the history of human space development.
However, Amazon is also competing with SpaceX in this regard, and has also launched a reusable launch vehicle three times.
But with the NASA contract, Space Exploration Technology Corporation has the greatest advantage in this regard, and in terms of technology accumulation, it is not comparable to any other similar companies.
Space Exploration Technologies, not only Amazon's competitor in the field of space technology, will soon become the biggest competitor of future aerospace companies.
However, Cai Ruichen, who has a unique advantage in this area, does not regard Space Exploration Technology Company as his competitor.
The reason is simple, because space exploration technology does not have the strength to compete with future aerospace companies.
In the southern part of Nineveh Province in northern Iraq, a super-large-scale aerospace launch center invested and built by Future Technology Group has already broken ground.
Only those who know the news are currently limited to high-level personnel of the Future Technology Group, because this aerospace launch center is the construction unit of the base.
Naturally, there is no need to disclose the construction process to the public.
Constructed alongside the Aerospace Launch Center is another base building unit, the Aerospace Research and Development Center.
In three months, among the units that Cai Ruichen extracted, these two construction units were the most valuable.
This will play a huge positive role in promoting the future development of Future Technology Group.
However, the real benefits brought by these two building units are currently invisible, but in the future they will have super strong support for the development of the base.
It's just that the effect of such technology at present is almost invisible. It will take a long time to transform the base space technology into a development support force.
As for the emergence of relevant aerospace technology until now, Cai Ruichen is also a little impatient to wait.
The built base aerospace launch center and research and development center will enable the Red Police Corps to have the ability to explore space.
At present, the technical capabilities of aerospace are only at the level of launching satellites and exploring.
If you want to transform this technology into a support for the development of the base, you need at least a launch vehicle or a space shuttle with a nuclear fusion power system.
However, this technology is still out of reach.
However, once the Future Technology Group exposes the technology that can completely launch the launch vehicle, that is, the high-speed world, the Future Technology Group also has the technology to develop ballistic missiles.
Compared with those pure technology companies, Future Technology Group already possesses military-developed technology, so the outside world will inevitably think of this aspect.
Fortunately, such factors will not restrict the development of Future Technology Group, because it has a good relationship with the United States. As long as the United States does not say anything, no one will make use of it.
Even if there are people who make excuses, at most the Israelis can't sit still.
It's just that Cai Ruichen has other ideas. In order to establish the image of Future Technology Group in the world and win the support of most public opinion, some things need to be carefully planned.
For example, cooperating with Musk is a good choice, and you can directly build a relationship with NASA.
Of course, how to cooperate depends on the technology of both parties, and the most important thing is Musk's attitude.
Musk is known as a scientific madman, and he is a well-known investor with a strong business vision and courage.
It is not an easy task to lead and cooperate with such a person.
Of course, if Musk disagrees, Cai Ruichen will not force it, and Amazon is also a good partner.
"Compared to the development achievements of the Future Technology Group, we are just making small troubles." Although Musk liked Cai Ruichen's words, he restrained his emotions very well.
After all, the young man standing in front of him was not inferior to him in every way.
The turnover of the Future Technology Group last year alone is enough to make all the technology companies in the world so fast that it is difficult to catch up.
Compared with the investment that Future Technology Group has started around the world, the current space exploration technology company is now facing the problem of requiring external investment.
Google only invested 900 million US dollars in Space Exploration Technology Company a while ago, and compared with the current research funding gap that Space Exploration Technology Company needs, there is still a big gap.
And this is the most direct gap between the two sides. One has the money to invest in other fields, while the other needs external investment to maintain the current research and development needs.
"I heard that the Space Exploration Technology Company is raising funds. I wonder how much more money is needed?" Cai Ruichen asked after taking the wine glass brought by the waiter.
"Is Dr. Cai interested in investing in Space Exploration Technologies?" Musk asked.
"To be honest, future airlines have made great progress in rocket launch technology. In Nineveh Province, our first satellite launch center is already under construction, and it is expected that we will be able to launch satellites for the first time in the launch center soon." Carry out the launch test of the launch vehicle." Cai Ruichen did not answer in a hurry, but first talked about the results achieved in this regard.
Hearing Cai Ruichen's words, Musk, whose heart was hot at once, immediately cooled down.
It is impossible for the future technology group in the Middle East to form a competitive relationship with the space exploration technology company in the United States.
However, the space exploration technology company that claims to dominate the entire solar system in 2100 will inevitably form a fierce competition with those companies around the world in the future.
