SpaceX, through continuous iteration, has transformed the outdated Merlin engine into an engine with an incredible thrust-to-weight ratio and energy-saving capabilities.

With the addition of vertical rocket recovery technology, SpaceX's unit price for low Earth orbit launches has been reduced to 1,000 yuan per kilogram.

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

The idea of ​​having a state-owned enterprise in the aerospace field develop reusable rockets was abandoned early on when the project was plagued by frequent explosions and failures. The focus was then on writing a problem analysis report.

We need private enterprises that can afford to fail, even repeated failures, to enter the commercial aerospace field.

We should encourage this behavior.

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

We should have comprehensive incentive mechanisms to guide private capital into the commercial space sector.

Innovation requires the ability to accept failure. Only when you can accept failure and start over can you begin to talk about innovation.

China's private enterprises are not lacking in the courage and initiative to innovate.

Back then, even though Ali invested massive resources in the public cloud and saw little progress, he persevered.

Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin chip was initially ridiculed by tech bloggers, but they persevered and waited for the day when HiSilicon would finally bear fruit.

These are successful examples. After the failure of the Pinecone chip for rice, they were practically abandoned.

There are also quite a few cases of failure.

However, compared to state-owned enterprises that cannot accept failure, private enterprises still have a much better spirit of innovation.

The blogger above made a mistake. China is no longer using the Long March 5 rocket; it has transitioned to the Long March 6.

However, this news has not yet been disclosed to the public.

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

It uses a modified YF-100 series liquid oxygen kerosene engine, which has significantly improved performance and is a multi-concurrent configuration.

It's a completely new type, with a transport capacity exceeding fifty tons and a cost reduced to 15,000 RMB per kilogram.

Meanwhile, if Aerospace Ruite's reusable technology is successfully tested on the Long March 6 rocket, the cost could be further reduced.

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

The spacecraft can be reused more than ten times.

"The project we are working on with SA will be taken on the next moon landing."

Li Miaomiao and Zheng Li were also discussing China's lunar landing plan in private.

However, it is indeed related to them.

"Our VR headsets and the robots controlled by them will be sent to China's lunar base."

Li Miaomiao was quite proud that her company's products were able to enter the lunar base.

Kechuang Bio is also one of SA's suppliers.

When CNSA was planning to build a lunar base, it recognized the benefits of brain-computer interface technology.

Especially after brain-computer interface VR was updated to the second generation, and domestic companies began to develop industrial VR.

After conducting actual tests on the next-generation brain-computer interface technology, CNSA decided to apply the technology to its lunar base.

"Moreover, it is said that the robot was originally intended to be taken up this time, but it exceeded the weight limit, so the astronauts will not have much external activity."

Their primary objective this time is to build a lunar base; the robots will only be used in future missions involving external forces.

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

To conserve the astronauts' energy as much as possible.

In particular, the physical strength of robots depends entirely on the amount of energy they have. With their bodies covered in photoelectric conversion devices, the physical strength and endurance of robots far exceed those of humans.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Very good."

A few seeds taken by China on this lunar mission were switched by Zheng Li.

He wanted to see how his magical plant seeds would perform when grown in space.

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

In any case, as long as the data is stored in the data storage device at the lunar base, he can obtain the growth data of these seeds after taking the brain-computer interface VR device with him on the next lunar landing.

This is why Zheng Li was very proactive in helping them with technology integration when SA asked them to come to Kechuang Biotechnology.

He also has his own goals to achieve.

As Zheng Li delved deeper into his research, he gained a new understanding of bio-cloud technology and the construction of global bio-networks.

Especially during the process of building the magic network in England, Zheng Li gained new insights into the nature of magic and various aspects of biological networks.

The magic network has a long history in the Mage Alliance, but Zheng Li only knew that it existed when he was in the Mage Alliance, but he had never built it himself.

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

The task of building a magic network is specifically handled by mages who are responsible for external expansion.

Zheng Li is a research-oriented type of mage.

Most monks whose job roles are defined are nearing the end of their lives and rarely make new scientific breakthroughs.

Zheng Li was far from reaching that level back then.

He had always thought that the Magic Network was an outdated mechanism, but after building it himself, Zheng Li realized that the Magic Network was not outdated, but rather unsuitable for the environment of the Mage Alliance.
