Chapter 1381: Chapter 658: Arrival on Mars!_2

In this aspect, SpaceX simply cannot compete.

"This is not fair competition at all."

"If we want to obtain that kind of compressed material, it’s simply impossible within ten years; and the market for manned spaceflight is very limited. Those rich people would definitely prefer to ride in safe and secure spaceships, even if it costs twice as much."

"Money is not an issue for them at all; safety and comfort are what matter most."

"In such a limited market, how can we compete with Yixing Company?"

Musk simply couldn’t think of an answer, but a thought involuntarily popped into his mind, "What if my company were in Z country? I also hold a Z country passport; wouldn’t the situation be completely different then?"

"I would pay taxes to Z country, and my company would be subject to Z country’s regulations. It would become much easier to access the relevant technology use rights, or to get the latest compressed materials."

"Now, we can no longer touch the highest technology here; there are significant restrictions on research and development. Maybe it’s time to consider a change of passport—"

Musk pondered carefully.

In fact, he knew that not only he had such thoughts. Many rich people, especially in recent years due to the changing circumstances.

Without a doubt, for the next ten, twenty years, or even longer, Z country will be the international focus and possess the greatest development potential. Going to Z country, one can access the latest technology, enjoy the best business environment, and hence make more money.

The Unlimited Power Automobiles of Yixing are an example. The development of the Energy-Gathering Satellite around the Sun and the Unlimited Power Automobile has driven countless upstream and downstream enterprises, most of which are Z country’s businesses. Foreign enterprises, no matter how advanced and efficient, face various restrictions and can’t even get a tiny share of the market.

This is just the beginning.

Including spatial information transmission, computing, energy, manufacturing, and other fields, Z country’s enterprises will have very good development because they have the support of the latest technology. Meanwhile, foreign enterprises face severe unfair competition due to their restrictions on the latest technology.

That’s the case in the materials field.

When a business can produce super-high-strength materials, what value do some existing material-related patents hold then?

This has led to a risk of bankruptcy for a massive number of material enterprises, and other fields are also affected. When many businesses face closure, a financial crisis will inevitably erupt.

"It’s time!"

"Perhaps I need to act faster, as soon as possible. The future is uncertain." Musk pondered, feeling a sense of crisis in his heart.

Although the market still appears calm, with the rise of the East impacting the world, his company is in a decent situation for now. Still, it must face the full pressure from Yixing, and the future looks bleak, as evidenced by the continuously falling stock prices.

If a serious financial crisis were to erupt, perhaps he could quickly go from a famous rich man to a pauper.

In reality, many rich people abroad have started to feel a similar sense of crisis, especially those involved in fields competing with the latest domestic technology. They are already sensing a severe crisis.

Moving to Z country is an excellent choice. In Z country, one could ride the waves of rapid development to make more money and access higher technology, taking their businesses to the next level, whereas staying might mean a slow march towards failure and bankruptcy.

On the live broadcast screen, the anti-gravity propulsor had become a small black dot. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The anti-gravity propulsor carried the ’Mars-1 spaceship’ into the sky, and the camera quickly switched to the ’Mars-1 spaceship’ control cabin’s perspective. Several astronauts lay in their seats, speaking with serious expressions on their faces.

The voice conversion feature of spatial information transmission was not activated, and what exactly the astronauts were discussing wasn’t translated for the audience, who could only see their serious demeanor.

In fact, the astronauts were lying there, discussing shuttle-related matters.

Although they were psychologically prepared and had undergone extensive training, and had an experienced captain leading the team, they were still somewhat worried, mainly about the ’space shuttle’ segment.

Zhang Liping asked, "Can we really reach Mars in ten seconds? Even as I sit here, it still feels unbelievable."

"Of course, we can. You have to believe in Academician Zhao. And the shuttle experiment has already been conducted several times," Zou Yongcheng said confidently.

"What will the shuttle be like?" Lu Xiaowei was somewhat expectant, "I’ve watched videos of space shuttle experiments, and it seems that you can reach the moon in an instant, but what will we feel inside the spaceship? I’ve studied relativity; will time also slow down inside the spaceship, making it different from the outside?"

"This—"

Zou Yongcheng hesitated, thinking for a long time, realizing he couldn’t provide an answer. How could he know without having experienced space shuttling?

Lin Sheng, an engineer sent from Space Information Technology, held a master’s degree in mathematics and had been part of the previous space shuttling experiment. He knew a great deal about space-related topics and said, "You don’t need to worry too much. In terms of the perception of time, it should be the same."

"It will feel like ten seconds outside and ten seconds for us, too."

"Even if relativity really applies, and Einstein’s theory can be used in space shuttling technology, our eighty million kilometers, traveling at the speed of light, would also take three hundred seconds to reach our destination."
