The American "Observer 5" passed through the Pezos Heights in advance and missed this rare scene. The creature unexpectedly came to the surface of Mars, but soon the afterglow of dusk was killed, leaving only the hard body skeleton exposed. In front of cosmic rays, even the tenacious life that lasted for 2 billion years on Mars is so fragile.

The wind and sand were invading, and the biological skeleton that was more than 4 meters long began to be gradually submerged by sand and dust. When "Observer 5" came again over the Pezos Heights, this intact biological skeleton would never be found again.

This planet, in the next few months, will see visitors from Earth landing here. NASA has confirmed the coordinates of the Mars landing point, just in a low-lying area near the Pezos Heights.

...

Earth.

Since China Matrix CMSX completed the trial voyage of the "Arc Eagle-1" aerospace transport aircraft, it caused an uproar in the global aerospace field. At that time, there were many astronauts from various countries on the "Tianzhou". When Li Xingfeng counted the cargo, someone summarized the weight of the materials transported to estimate the approximate carrying capacity of the "Arc Eagle-1".

The result made these people stunned, and they actually had a carrying capacity of more than 40 tons!

The load peak of the USS Columbia space shuttle is only about 30 tons. This "Arc Eagle One" is smaller than the US space shuttle, and it can actually carry far exceeding the tonnage of the space shuttle?

The news was soon delivered to aerospace agencies in major countries, and everyone's understanding of the transport aircraft produced by cmsx has risen to a new level.

The amount of carrying capacity is a key factor in measuring a country's strength in the aerospace field. American launch vehicles can transport even 70 tons of cargo at one time, but the cost is terrible. The consumption of rockets can burn real funds. The cheaper transportation capacity means that the cost of space exploration will be greatly reduced. The significance of this is self-evident.

Inspirational to make Spacex the most popular air transport company in the solar system, technology crazier Elon Musk also learned about this news, which undoubtedly made "Silicon Valley Iron Man" unknowingly ignorant and unable to sleep at night.

If cmsx competes with Spacex in the field of space transportation, its excellent transport aircraft and the help of no rocket boosters can send supplies to space, its cheap freight and efficient launch capabilities will make the Arc Eagle One the greatest competitiveness in this field.

Spacex, which is still using rocket boosters, has instantly become weaker. Although it can recycle rockets, it is no longer the same level. No wonder Musk is unable to sleep or eat.

However, the only thing that made him feel a little comforted was that Ren Hong once gave him a promise. Ren Hong once said that Spacex and Matrix Technology should be allies, not opponents. But today it seems that Musk really dares not have too much expectations for this illusory promise.

What is coming is coming after all. Just after cmsx announced the completion of the trial of "Arc Eagle One", South African space agencies began to contact Liu Yuliang, the helmator of China's matrix cmsx, and the negotiation content was unknown.

But Elon Musk was very nervous about the incident, because before that, South Africa had long announced that it would entrust Spacex to help its country send a meteorological satellite into space to meet South Africa's needs. Spacex's cheap space transportation is the best choice. Of course, this was before the birth of "Arc Eagle One".

If South Africa cancels its cooperation with Spacex and then invests in the arms of China's matrix cmsx, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Spacex, and the impact can be explained by more than just a failure of cooperation.

Just as Elon Musk was restless, a phone call from across the Pacific Ocean called his room.

"Ren? Why do you have time to call me? Is there anything wrong?" Musk said in confusion.

A loud laughter suddenly came from the communicator: "If you don't call me, you will probably have insomnia for a while. Even Iron Man can't stand it, haha~~!"

"Uh..." Musk was stunned for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. Although the other party could not see it, he knew that the embarrassment had definitely spread to the other side of the Pacific Ocean along the wireless signal. Elon Musk naturally heard the implicit meaning of Ren Hong's words, and it became even more embarrassing when he heard it. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and his face turned red with his suffocation.

"My promise is still valid!" Ren Hong said calmly in the communicator, but there was no doubt. After a while, another voice came: "Tell you honestly, Musk! The transportation capacity of cmsx cannot be freed to serve third parties. We are not busy ourselves. In order to win time, maybe Spacex may also need help to increase the transportation capacity. Haha, of course, if you and Nasa are not afraid that we will board Mars first."

CMSX and CNSA, as well as another combination SpaceX and Nasa, both of which are secretly competing for Mars. Strictly speaking, Ren Hong and Musk should be out of a competitive relationship, but this does not hinder the personal relationship between the two parties.

Competition is a fact, and strategic cooperation is also a fact.

Elon Musk said to the communicator helplessly: "You know, as the CEO of Spacex, I don't mind the company being able to get an extra order, and I'm even very happy with that huge revenue, but Nasa won't agree. Let me tell you the truth, as far as I know, nothing unexpected happens, Washington will issue a mandatory order on Spacex."

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, where the sun is up to three o'clock, Ren Hong pulled a chimpanzee's hand and walked towards the "Incarnation Research Room", and smiled at the communicator and said, "Yes, you can't supply my needs. If you use up all the rockets in your spacex stock, you can only send three or four hundred tons of supplies."

Musk shrugged when he heard this, and the voice of the other party came from the communicator again: "I guess the one who makes you unable to sleep is probably the ones from South Africa. I will also give you some internal news. If nothing unexpected happens, they will set off to return home tomorrow. The head of cmsx has rejected them. How about it? Can you sleep well tonight?"

Elon Musk was stunned for a long time, and after reacting, he laughed and said, "You are really mean, this news works better than any sleeping pill. It's a pity that Spacex has lost a super big customer like you."

"I'm a little greedy..." A burst of laughter came from the communication. Matrix Technology is not an ordinary super customer. The 7,700-ton size of "Tiangong Ring Star Port" shows that Matrix Technology has ten wealthy masters. Once it attacks in the aerospace field, its investment funds will be higher than the total of all institutions around the world. It is estimated that it will not take long. After Bigelow Aerospace announced that it had reached a strategic cooperation agreement with China Matrix cmsx, the "Firefire" space station will also surface. Two artificial celestial bodies of more than 1,000 tons are the leading figures on Mars and Earth respectively, and are so beautiful...

The two were stunned for a while before the communication was finished. Elon Musk was in a happy mood and threw the phone aside. The depression in his heart was swept away. He naturally knew more than anyone else that it was a bastard. Ren Hong personally called him a dose of heart-warming agent. That was because Spacex is one of the American technology giants. Matrix Technology won over more than half of the American technology giants as strategic allies in order to restrain the pressure the US government might give him. The complex interest bonds are enough to make Washington jealous. Ren Hong chose the former between his allies and vested interests. This is also the value of Spacex to Matrix Technology, or the greatest value of all companies that have reached strategic cooperation agreements with it.

Ren Hong gave up his vested interests and chose the overall strategic situation, which was a happy situation for both parties. After all, businessmen, especially American businessmen, put interests first.

However, Elon Musk was also very unhappy with this feeling of being slashed by someone's life, but he was helpless. He thought that he had to make a breakthrough in technology to solve this embarrassing situation. After all, the helmsman of Matrix Technology today is friendly to Spacex. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Although I was a little depressed, I was in a very good mood, at least the current difficulties no longer exist.

Otherwise, if South Africa cancels its cooperation with Spacex and turns to the embrace of cmsx, Musk can expect that as soon as the news comes out, the stock market will open the next day and the company's stock will inevitably fall.
