"I'm really sorry!"

"It's causing you trouble!"

"This is a small gift to express your gratitude, please accept it!"

"Although the t2800gb carbon fiber cannot be supplied on time, the t2000gb and t1600gb models will definitely be supplied to you with quality and quantity!"

"Please accept our sincere apology, please!"

Tokyo, Minato, Honda Co., Ltd., yacht business unit.

A middle-aged man in a black suit, bowing and apologizing like a chicken sucking rice, is from the world's largest carbon fiber supplier, Toray Group. With the rapid rise of the carbon fiber project department under Xingchen Chemical, Toray Group has now become the second in materials science, and the former North American DuPont Group has become the third.

The thing is that the yacht manufacturing subsidiary of Honda Co., Ltd. has ordered super-strong carbon fiber material, t2800gb, from Toray Group for the manufacturing of new luxury speedboats. However, Toray Group is now trying to tear up the contract.

Although the business representative of Toray Group kept bowing and apologizing, Shin-hong Qida, who was holding his arms with his arms and sitting on the boss's chair, was still extremely dissatisfied. He slapped the table hard and scolded him with a harsh voice.

"We want to provide customers with the highest quality products! If it weren't for Star Technology's t5000gb and t4000gb carbon fibers and were not sold to the public, how could we order your t2800gb model!"

"It's good now. You advise us to use the t2000gb with worse tensile resistance? How do I explain this to the customer? You know, this is our flagship speedboat product! We want to sprint to the pinnacle of the global speed champion!"

The representative of Toray Group, who was sprayed with a look of spitting out stars, said helplessly: "We really have no choice. Mr. Nelson, director of the White House Education and Science Office, came to us in person. In the name of the North American authorities, we have reserved all high-end carbon fiber production capacity in the next three years. We will never dare to offend customers like North American authorities."

"If you dare not offend Americans, you dare to offend our Honda Co., Ltd.!" Nobuhiro Yoshida felt discriminated against and instantly started to angrily scolded the representative of Toray Group.

After venting, Shinhong Qitian, who was sitting back on the chair, calmed down. He touched his chin with his right hand and said, "North America wants all your production capacity, probably for the Starlink plan, right?"

The representative of Toray Group whispered: "It should be, but there must be other more important uses. After all, three months have passed since the battle for space hegemony, and the situation is really unprecedentedly tragic!"

"China and the United States are worthy of being the two most powerful countries on the earth. Nasa and Star Technology are also the world's largest scientific research groups. They are so powerful that they have carried out dozens of launch missions in just three months!"

"Today, Xingchen Technology launched the space station module, and Cape Canaveral launched the communication satellite cluster the day after tomorrow. It was really terrible. Now, except for China and the United States, the whole world is silent. Russia and Europe, which once clamored to participate in the space battle, have completely shut up. Faced with the battle between two prehistoric beasts, they have no strength to participate. Europe launches an Aliana Kung Fu, and China and North America can shoot more than a dozen rockets!"

"Now, there are a lot of Star Technology modules on the synchronous orbit. There are thousands of Starlink communication satellites in the low-Earth orbit. I doubt that it won't take long to become the territory of China, and the low-Earth orbit will become the back garden of North America."

"If they set up legendary space-based weapons in the sky, the sinking of neon lights may not be just a novel, but will become a reality!"

Alas ~

Qitian Nobuhong sighed. He was a little depressed just now. If he was the president of Dongli Group, there would be no better way. He would choose to break the contract and then supply it to North America with all his strength.

After all, North America and China are giants that cannot be offended on the earth.

"Sit down."

Qitian Nobuhong pointed to the sofa beside him. The representative of the Toray Group sat down nervously as if he was amnesty.

"Do you know why their launch pace suddenly slowed down after the end of the year?" Qitian Nobuhong asked curiously.

The dispute over space hegemony between China and the United States began in mid-September, reaching its peak in October and November, and now it is December. It is really puzzling that the frequency of launches between the two sides suddenly slowed down.

Toray's business representative lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the production capacity cannot keep up. The launch rhythm of both parties is really crazy. It consumes all the components previously reserved, and it falls into an embarrassing situation where there is nothing to launch."

"It is precisely because of this that North America will directly cover all our production capacity. I heard that we will also build a joint venture factory jointly operated by both of us in Illinois. Not only are we, suppliers from Germany, France, Switzerland, etc., all are making every effort to supply North America, while Nasa's own factory has entered a rare 24-hour operation."

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's worthy of being China and North America. They are really strong!"

Qitian Shinhong suddenly realized that before the space plan began, Luo Jia and Musk had some inventory. Now, due to the fast launch speed, the inventory has been consumed and the new products have not been put into storage. Both sides have rockets but there are no goods to launch, which is embarrassing.

This time they used large rockets, with amazing carrying capacity.

Xingchen Technology's a1 engine has a standard thrust of 550 tons, but the thrust does not represent the capacity. Twelve A1 engines combine 6,600 tons of thrust, which can transport about 200 tons of cargo to the synchronous track.

The reason why Luo Jia suffers from Musk is that Musk builds star links at an average of 150 kilometers from the ground, while the space station of Star Technology is built on a synchronous orbit of 36,000 kilometers from the ground. The distance is farther and the thrust is naturally more needed.

When Xingchen Technology launches an 18-engine 10,000-ton rocket, it can only transport 300 tons of goods at a time. There is no way to do this. Who made Luo Jia have a higher ambitions and set his goal?

In short, an unstoppable torrent is rolling in. Although this is a space battle between China and the United States, it has involved everyone in the world. From East Asia to Australia and then to Europe, no one can survive alone.

Shinhong Qitian leaned back and said in a deep voice: "I understand that the Toray Group is forced to participate in this competition between great powers. It is not something you can decide. I just don't know who can laugh at the end between China and the United States? If China wins in the end, they should be angry with you, right? After all, 70% of the carbon fiber materials used in North America are supplied by you, and 30% of the other from DuPont Group."

"Who knows." Representative Tori lowered his head silently, "In the long run, North America should have a greater chance. After all, Starlink plans have very broad profit prospects, and Star Technology's synchronous orbital space station seems to be unable to create profits, it is purely burning money."

...

Florida, outside Miami, Nasa's Space Dynamics Company.

Neon Toray's high-end carbon fiber took off from Narita Airport and was sent here day and night to make an important component in Starlink communication satellite, Hall effect thruster.

Whether it is Hall effect thrusters or ion thrusters, they all belong to the electric thruster family, but there is a big gap in technology and potential.

As we all know, there are three ways to implement electric propulsion, namely electrostatic, electromagnetic and electric heating. Among them, electric heating propulsion is quite simple and ancient, and is not worth mentioning. Electrostatic technology is represented by electronic bombardment thrusters, and electromagnetic technology is represented by pulse plasma thrusters.

In addition, there is also a special thruster, which is also electrostatic propulsion, but it is different from an electronic bombardment propulsion, which is the Hall effect propulsion.

In 1879, North American physicist Hall discovered that when the current passes through the conductor perpendicular to the external magnetic field, a voltage will appear between the two end faces in the direction of the magnetic field and the current. This phenomenon is the Hall effect.

The interstellar thruster made based on the Hall effect is the Hall thruster. At this stage, most satellites around the world use this technology. Luo Jia recently made large-scale improvements to the Hall thruster to meet the needs of flying out of the solar system. It is considered the second generation of Hall thrusters. The first generation of technology applied on a large scale in the West.

The first generation Hall thruster has not much horsepower, at most it only looks a few kilowatts, but it is still no problem to use it to drive satellites to move in space.

The factory is full of enthusiasm, from management to workers, they all work as excitedly as if they were injected with chicken blood, and parts from the global supply chain are constantly being sent to the warehouse by trucks.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 5,000 companies directly or indirectly provide parts or outsourcing technical services to Nasa, have used the most powerful force in the entire West.

People see the crazy launch plans of the two major aerospace bases, which are just appearances. Real deep competition is developing in all aspects of society. Although North America's manufacturing industry is hollowed out, among its allies, it still has top manufacturing forces such as Neon and Germany. Not to mention that North America, which holds financial hegemony, is far more wealthy than China.

According to statistics, the direct consumption of the US military in the Iraq War alone was as high as 763 billion US dollars, and the indirect consumption caused by the later stability maintenance and war was even more exaggerated, with a huge amount of 4 trillion US dollars!

However, even so, North America was not dragged down by the war. After the Iraq War, North America fought the wars between Afghanistan and Syria, which was also costly. During the war, North America's GDP growth rate was even far beyond that of Europe without war.

It can be seen from this that it is unrealistic to expect the space race that cost tens of millions of yuan to drag North America down, otherwise North America would have fallen in the Iraq War long ago.

On the contrary, the pressure on China and Xingchen Technology is unprecedentedly huge. With a consumption of one trillion US dollars every year, even if Xingchen Technology has a big business, it will inevitably cause trouble. Shen Lang sold cosmetics to his own women at a high price. To put it bluntly, it was just a shortage of money.

After all, the money for Chinese women to buy cosmetics is not fallen from the sky. The family supports some, and the husband and boyfriends support some. They originally planned to take their children to travel abroad, but now they have changed to the big city Tieling.
