Tesla Mars immigrants

Since the middle of last century, the United States and the Soviet Union have staged a "space race". Nowadays, the competition between China and the United States in the space field is becoming more and more fierce. Elon musk, an American teenager deeply influenced by the "space race", has now stepped onto the stage, but his goal is not the automobile industry, and his "Star Chain Plan" is directed at 5G.

Recently, the automobile sector has continued to be strong, which is gratifying. But what I want to talk about this time is the most eye-catching "satellite internet" in A-shares, which closed up 4.40% on May 8, ranking first among hundreds of concept sectors.

On May 5, the Long March V-B carrier rocket was successfully launched at Wenchang Space Launch Site, carrying a new generation of manned spacecraft test ship and flexible inflatable cargo return cabin, and the first flight mission was successful. This is the first time that China and even Asia have launched a spacecraft of more than 20,000 kilograms. On May 8, the return capsule of the manned spacecraft test ship landed successfully. All these indicate that China has taken another solid step in the space field.

In the aerospace field, there is another thing that is no less than the launch of "Fat Five B", that is, the "Star Link" of the founder of Space X. On May 2, many people saw and photographed a batch of "star chains" passing through Yunnan, and dozens of unusually shining "stars" crossed the sky neatly. These videos are widely circulated on the Internet.

Musk and his Tesla are called "catfish" in the automobile industry. However, this person "spoiled" not only the automobile industry, but also the aerospace and communication industries. Space X's "Star Chain Plan" is considered to be the most powerful competitor of 5G communication services.

Briefly introduce the satellite chain plan: launch 42,000 satellites into low-earth orbit. These satellites will cover the high-speed broadband internet to any corner of the earth, including inaccessible areas, so that everyone on the earth can use the high-speed and cheap broadband network. The plan has caused great controversy in the field of astronomy.

Technical problems, as the media, we are not teaching fish to swim. It is particularly noteworthy that the various plans put forward by Musk are incredible in various fields. I always thought he was a swindler who cheated on investment. The problem is that more than ten years have passed and nothing has been revealed.

In fact, as long as the projects that Musk participated in are listed separately, you can clearly see what he wants to do. Musk himself made it very clear, but many people thought he was making up stories.

Yes, his ultimate goal is to "colonize Mars" and make mankind a multi-planet species. In order to achieve this big goal, he divided the problem into many small goals to achieve one by one.

First of all, there is almost no oxygen on Mars, and the internal combustion engine will not work; There is no fossil fuel on Mars, so we can only drive electric cars ... This is the original intention of Musk to be a Tesla car.

There is no oxygen on Mars, fossil fuels can't burn, and nuclear power generation needs a lot of water and enough air pressure. The air pressure on Mars is less than 1% on Earth, and any liquid water will boil and evaporate immediately after thawing. Therefore, the most reliable way to solve the energy problem of Mars is solar energy. Musk asked his brother to set up a Sun City company specializing in solar energy. Now Sun City has been acquired by Tesla, and Tesla Motors has changed its name to Tesla.

The basic environment of Mars is vacuum, and people must stay in a closed space to isolate the vacuum. Therefore, the future Mars city is likely to see no roads, all of which are underground or above-ground pipelines. In terms of transportation, it is mainly elevator and pipeline transportation. Therefore, Musk established Boring Company to create a new generation of transportation system by digging tunnels.

Space x is easier to understand. Not only launch rockets and satellites at a lower cost, but also transport goods to the space station. The air on Mars is so thin that it is impossible to recover rockets with traditional parachute technology. Therefore, rocket reverse propulsion technology is needed to realize rocket recovery and lander landing on Mars.

These companies are technically advancing the plan of "colonizing Mars", but the biggest problem has not been solved. Musk said that he hopes to send 654.38+0 million people to Mars in his lifetime.

When President Bush was in power, he asked NASA to make a budget. How much does it cost to send a man to Mars? The answer is $654.38+00 billion. Musk is the richest man on earth, and he also wants to reduce the personal expenses of sending to Mars from tens of billions of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, in the face of the base of 6.5438 million people, his wealth is still a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Musk needs to contact an industry that can make big money, that is, the communication industry. We know that Unicom and Mobile are basically "lying down and counting money". Some institutions predict that the cost of the "Star Chain Plan" will exceed 654.38+000 billion US dollars. After completion, if the service users exceed 40 million, the annual income will reach 30 billion US dollars. This figure is 10 times the highest annual expected income of Space X Company. Of course, satellite communication network is also the most reliable communication mode after human beings moved to Mars.

Tesla, Space X, Star Chain Project, Sun City and Drilling Company ... were all created by Musk to colonize Mars.

Let's go back to the automobile industry. Why is Tesla difficult to compete? The fiercer the competition, the bigger the gap. Tesla's current market value has become the second largest car company in Japan after Toyota. If you describe it in a poem, the answer is "but when you walk up a flight of stairs, you broaden your horizons by 300 miles".

It is reported that China is also studying a satellite communication network scheme similar to the "Star Link Plan". Since the middle of last century, the United States and the former Soviet Union have had a huge space race. Nowadays, the competition between China and the United States in the space field is becoming more and more fierce. At present, the main goal of China's space exploration is to mine on the moon, and finally realize the ultimate energy-"controlled nuclear fusion" on the earth, thus solving the energy problem of mankind. Just compared with Musk's ideal of making human beings a multi-planet race, it can't be said to be ahead.

Musk was born in 197 1, and Apollo planned to land a man on the moon in 1969. In the 1970s and 1980s, a large number of science fiction novels and film and television works appeared, all of which imagined the interstellar journey of human beings. The famous writer Asimov published a large number of interstellar science fiction works. As a teenager, Musk was deeply influenced by it. 1983, 12-year-old elon musk designed a space game software called "Blastar", which is enough to explain the influence of that "Star Fantasy" era on his outlook on life and values.

China's efforts in space exploration will inevitably affect children born after 20 10. Maybe elon musk in China is in kindergarten or elementary school now.

In the middle of last century, the "space race" between the United States and the Soviet Union created a large number of technologies to be transferred to today's social life. In fact, Tesla also benefited from this. For example, Tesla's aerospace grade alloy material comes from Space X, and Tesla's battery management technology also helps the latter. ...

Whether you believe or not "colonizing Mars" is definitely true in the general direction of the development of human civilization. On the other hand, in the current automobile industry, the vision of automobile enterprises is to provide people with better and sustainable smart travel services through technology, but in "but you broaden your horizons by 300 miles", it is only a few floors away.
