Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Daystar Technology has done a lot of reception work in recent years.

Whether entrepreneurs from around the world come to visit or relevant departments from China come to inspect, the company has a mature response process in place.

This time when the European Space Agency comes, it can naturally handle it easily.

After completing the previous greetings and explaining the content of the company's introduction materials step by step, the formal communication began.

At this time, there will not be many people talking on both sides.

Of course, when it comes to bargaining, the two big guys, Cao Yang and Werner, will definitely not intervene. Instead, the people below will be asked to go to the conference room next to them to have a good communication.

As for the boss, he must be talking about some high-level things.

"Werner, we can go to the site later to visit the production process of Venus 9 and MAX from beginning to end."

"To put it bluntly, our rocket production factory is definitely the most advanced in the world."

"The rocket factories in most countries rely on skilled workers to produce various parts manually, and the production efficiency is relatively low."

"But our factory maximizes the use of various automation equipment, and many of the equipment are specially customized by Nanshan Equipment, the world's top equipment manufacturer."

"Higher automated production equipment ensures the quality of our rocket parts and makes its parts more versatile."

"This is crucial for the production of reusable rockets."

"It can be said that to produce recyclable rockets, or to continuously increase the number of recyclable rockets, improving the automation rate is essential."

"Traditional rocket factories, even with the full set of drawings and data of our Venus 9, are unable to produce rockets of the same level as ours."

When it's time to brag, never be polite.

This is very important when dealing with European and American companies.

If you are too humble, people will seriously think that your company's technology and quality are not good enough.

Daystar Technology already has such a glorious history, no matter how powerful it is, everyone will only think that it is really powerful.

"Venus Technology has a high degree of automation, and the production cost of rockets can definitely be very low."

"The efforts in this area are really worth learning from all of us."

Werner is also very good.

Didn’t you, Cao Yang, brag that your rocket factory has a high level of automated production that even traditional rocket companies can’t match?

Then I'll start talking to you about the cost in a subtle way.

Now that you admit that your costs are not very high, you will be embarrassed to quote too high when the time comes, right?

After all, Werner brought the team here today to discuss cooperation in rocket launches.

The Starlink satellite system built by the European Space Agency, even if it only covers the European market, requires at least several thousand satellites to meet the requirements.

If we want to further expand part of the market, we will easily need more than 10000 satellites.

The demand for so many satellites involves more than 100 rocket launches.

Even if the cost is reduced by 100 million euros each time, that is still a very considerable amount.

"Theoretically, the higher the degree of automation, the lower the cost will definitely be."

“However, since our automated production equipment is all customized, the cost is relatively high.”

"So the initial production cost is still relatively high. Only when the quantity reaches a certain level can it be slowly reduced."

"After all, the main purpose of increasing automation is not to reduce costs, but to improve the quality and versatility of parts."

Cao Yang is not stupid and will definitely not fall into Werner's trap.

You talk to me about cost, and I'll talk to you about quality.

Anyway, no matter which statement it is, it makes sense.

The two of them communicated back and forth for nearly an hour. Joseph and Zhao Siyu, who left the large conference room midway to discuss additional prices, had almost negotiated a direction for the price of cooperation.

When the time comes for the big guys from both sides to make a final decision, the cooperation intention will almost be finalized.

Of course, if such a large-scale cooperation is involved, the European Space Agency will definitely take it back and report it properly.

……

"You guys are actually producing more than a dozen rockets at the same time?"

After inviting Werner and his team to taste Yangcheng's special delicacies in the private room of the dining hall at noon, they started to visit the site directly in the afternoon.

As soon as they entered the production workshop of Venus No. 9, Werner and others were filled with surprise.

As the director of the European Space Agency, he has visited all the major rocket and satellite production factories in Europe.

He is even familiar with the production process of rockets and satellites.

He has never seen more than a dozen rockets being produced at the same time in any factory.

That's really an exaggeration.

After all, for most countries, there are often only a dozen space launch missions a year.

Now in the workshop of Daystar Technology, there are more than a dozen rockets lying in one breath.

According to this pace, their annual output must be more than the dozen or so they see now.

"Although our Venus 9 is recyclable, after each launch and recovery, a series of inspections are required to ensure that there are no problems with all aspects of performance before it can be launched again."

"This inspection and testing cycle takes about a month."

"Sometimes if individual engines or parts need to be replaced, the cycle may be longer."

"In order to meet our launch needs, we naturally need to have more rockets at the same time."

Cao Yang explained briefly.

It's okay if you don't explain it, but it will be even more sour once Werner explains it.

When did China’s aerospace industry become so much stronger than Europe’s?

This is hard to accept.

"I heard that you are still building a huge sea launch ship. By then, rockets can be launched from the existing sea launch platform as well as from the newly built sea launch ship?"

Before Werner came to Daystar Technology, he must have had some understanding of Daystar's situation.

Daystar's work style is very different from that of Aerospace Technology.

All kinds of information that traditional astronauts think needs to be kept secret, Daystar openly announces it to the public on its official WeChat account.

For example, for the new sea launch ship that is being commissioned to be built by Wenchong Shipyard, some photos will be posted directly on the official WeChat account every now and then.

"Yes, by then we will have two launch bases at sea, and launches will also be available at the Northwest Launch Site and the Qiongzhou Launch Site."

"If necessary, in extreme cases, we can launch several times a week."

"If the European Space Agency has higher launch frequency requirements in the future, there is no need to worry about the launch capabilities of Venus Technology."
