Not long after, Galaxy Technology purchased a 500,000-square-meter plot of land from the local government of Jiuquan to build a giant rocket manufacturing plant. This giant rocket manufacturing plant uses pulse assembly line technology, which uses synchronous pulses to move rocket components quickly and efficiently during the assembly process, thereby speeding up the assembly process, reducing costs, and producing more rockets.

Once this giant rocket manufacturing plant is completed, the annual production capacity of Shenzhou starships is expected to reach 100!

One hundred Shenzhou starships are all reusable, super-heavy, recoverable rockets, weighing up to 5,500 tons, with an astonishing carrying capacity.

Imagine that these 100 Shenzhou starships are constantly delivering supplies to the Tianting space station and building new cabins. Before long, a huge space homeport will appear in outer space!

If these 100 Shenzhou spacecraft are used to launch satellites, and each Shenzhou spacecraft can carry multiple satellites, then it won't be long before China can deploy tens of thousands of satellites!

If space travel develops in the future, these Shenzhou starships will be the best means of transportation.

Moreover, the transport of materials to the lunar base also relies on the Shenzhou starship with its massive carrying capacity.

...

...

Galaxy Technologies' giant rocket manufacturing plant plan was not kept secret; instead, it was announced openly at a press conference.

Building rockets is not a business for a single company; supporting production equipment, rocket parts, rocket fuel, and so on are all very important.

The emergence of a giant rocket manufacturing plant will inevitably spur competitors to expand their factory capacity.

Increased scale inevitably leads to a decrease in production costs.

It will also promote technological advancement, since more orders mean more profits, which in turn will allow for more investment in research and development.

Satellite manufacturing companies can also significantly increase production, because the reduced production cost of Shenzhou Starships and their larger quantity will inevitably lead to a substantial decrease in rocket launch costs. The prospects for the commercial satellite market are becoming increasingly broad. For example, more and more private enterprises or institutions will be willing to spend money to launch satellites.

At the press conference, Chu Peng, CEO of Galaxy Technology, greeted reporters with a smile and said, "Welcome to the press conference of Galaxy Technology. I am Chu Peng, CEO of Galaxy Technology. As instructed by our boss, Chairman Zhao, we have decided to invest in building a huge rocket manufacturing plant in Jiuquan, which will also include ten large rocket launch sites, with a total investment of up to 30 billion US dollars!"

"As for our main purpose in investing in building the factory, there are three aspects."

"First, we must continue to improve the Heavenly Court Space Station! According to ancient Chinese mythology, the Heavenly Court has 36 celestial palaces and 72 treasure halls, arranged horizontally and vertically according to the numbers of the Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends, totaling 108 main buildings. Currently, our Heavenly Court Space Station only has nine compartments, meaning only nine celestial palaces or treasure halls. Our next task is to piece together all 108 buildings to form a true Heavenly Court!!!"

Upon hearing this, some Chinese media reporters in the audience were immediately excited, their faces showing excitement and anticipation, inwardly exclaiming how awesome Galaxy Technology was!

Foreign journalists may not be very familiar with Chinese mythology, but they are good with numbers.

The Tianting Space Station, with only 9 modules, is already astonishing; what would 108 modules mean?! The reporters couldn't help but imagine it in their minds, and were utterly shocked and terrified.

"Secondly, we will begin construction of a lunar base and develop lunar resources. As we all know, the moon is rich in mineral resources, such as titanium, which is used to manufacture spacecraft, aircraft, and weapons; helium-3, which is used to manufacture nuclear fusion reactors; and abundant rare earth elements, etc. Developing lunar resources may provide the infrastructure and support for humans to establish settlements in space!"

The moment he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

While everyone else is still dreaming of landing on the moon, Galaxy Technologies has already begun developing lunar resources—the gap is just too big.

"By the time other countries have the capability to land on the moon, I'm afraid the lunar resources will already be mostly occupied by Galaxy Technologies..." a foreign journalist couldn't help but sigh, and began to worry about his own country.

Chu Peng took in everyone's expressions, smiled calmly, and continued speaking.

"Thirdly, our Galaxy Technology Company is preparing to develop a space tourism project, sending tourists to the Tian Ting Space Station for travel. As the number of cabins on the Tian Ting Space Station increases, we will allocate a portion of the cabins for space tourism. Initially, we will open up 50 tourist slots for two days, with a basic cost of 5 million RMB per person."

After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked once again.

"My God! Galaxy Technologies has launched a space tourism project! You can spend just 5 million RMB to stay on the space station for two days! That's incredibly cheap, unbelievable!" A reporter exclaimed, mouth agape. Previously, it was unimaginable that a trip to space would cost only 5 million RMB, considering the rocket launch alone costs tens of millions.

Galaxy Technology directly lowered the price, making 5 million RMB a mere burden for the wealthy.

In many first-tier cities, houses cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.

The reporter was thrilled; even he had the chance to travel to space, all he had to do was sell his house.

It would be such a shame to live a life without taking a trip to outer space!

Chu Peng could understand everyone's feelings at this moment. Even he himself was very excited and couldn't wait to buy a space travel ticket.

According to incomplete statistics, there are approximately 62.5 million millionaires worldwide, in US dollars!

For the wealthy, 5 million RMB is not a lot, and they are willing to spend this amount of money to experience a space trip.

Galaxy Technologies' space travel tickets are likely to be in short supply, and even if more and more tickets are provided in the future, it will be insignificant compared to the number of the world's richest people.

However, with 100,000 wealthy individuals purchasing space travel tickets annually, the revenue could reach 500 billion RMB, which is astonishing.

According to analysts within Galaxy Technologies, the space tourism market could easily reach 500 billion RMB within a year. In fact, space tourism will be a trillion-dollar industry, and in the short term, other companies simply won't be able to compete with Galaxy Technologies.

Galaxy Corporation will inevitably monopolize the space tourism industry for a long time.

One step ahead, and you'll be ahead every step of the way.

While others are starting space station travel, Galaxy Technologies may have already built a lunar base and then launched lunar travel.

The press conference for Galaxy Technologies quickly came to an end.

However, the results of this press conference shocked the entire world...
