Chapter 256 Launching a Satellite
When installing the information processor on the satellite, Professor Qi introduced to Tang Xiaochuan: "We have used a large number of three-nanometer process chips to improve its information processing and information storage capabilities, and the designed main control program software is also the most advanced in this era. It is intelligent, even if the staff of the ground manual control center doze off occasionally, it can handle some emergency matters by itself!"

"For example, it finds that the orbit of the satellite has shifted due to factors such as the cosmic environment or the earth's revolution. It can automatically turn on the propulsion system to adjust and move the satellite back to its original position. However, if there are many small problems, ground researchers still need to come deal with!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "In addition to being able to send and receive electromagnetic signals, does our satellite have other functions?"

Professor Qi smiled again, "Boss, on this satellite, we have installed 5G and 6G electromagnetic signal receiving and transmitting equipment, which are all developed by ourselves. At present, 6G is not available for the time being. It is also a waste, we can only use 5G first, maybe wait a decade or so, and then use 6G at that time!"

Tang Xiaochuan was surprised: "Have you developed 5G and 6G technologies by yourself? Why don't I know about this?"

"This is not a big deal technology. It was developed in a few months, and I didn't tell you! As long as our company successfully launches six satellites, the signal will cover the whole country. By that time, as long as the whole country uses our With the advanced navigation system, the driver can obtain the road information ahead in real time, the ship can obtain the sea surface weather conditions ahead in time, and the aircraft can obtain the cloud layer conditions ahead in real time!"

"Many of the current car navigations need to be updated after a period of time, or they are inconsistent with the actual situation. Most drivers use mobile phone navigation, but our navigation system does not need to be updated, it is timely. Drivers only need to put our The navigation system is downloaded to the vehicle system, and the central control screen can locate and view the vehicle and the road ahead in real time, and there are also voice prompts, and the signal delay time is very, very short, almost negligible!"

"The most important point is that with our navigation system, the application of the automatic driving function can take a big step forward, because its signal delay is low, the network speed is high, and the system is easy to respond when performing automatic driving. , not even losing to others!"

Professor Qi continued: "Our satellites can also provide weather forecast services, because there is enough real-time computing power, the prediction of weather changes can be accurate to the minute, and geological exploration, vegetation changes, hydrology and ocean currents can also be monitored. Wait, even so, once the 72 satellites are launched, there are still many idle application resources, if our company does not use them, we can rent them to other companies!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "How long will it take to manufacture such a satellite and launch vehicle?"

Professor Qi said: "The result will not be known until the first satellite is launched. If the first satellite is successful and there are no problems, then we will have some experience in manufacturing satellites and launch vehicles and launching them. , as more and more satellites are launched, the manufacturing experience and launch experience will become more and more abundant, and the time each time will be shorter and shorter. It may be possible to launch several satellites at the same time. Launching one in a few days is also possible!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "Can the precision of the parts be met?"

"This is no problem. Our manufacturing equipment can produce aerospace parts that are superior to those of any country in the world. The high temperature resistance and ultra-low temperature performance are better than this era, otherwise the operating time of the satellite will not reach 30 years. !"

"There is one more question!" Tang Xiaochuan asked after thinking for a while, "It may be more than ten years before 6G can be used. Will the 6G equipment on the satellite still be available at that time? Also, if zero How do I replace or repair a damaged part?"

Professor Qi said: "After more than ten years, the 6G equipment on the satellite will still be usable, at least for another 20 years. As for the problem of component damage, we have already considered this problem. We have the main parts that are easily damaged. It is estimated that if a component of a certain satellite is damaged, the system can detect it during the self-inspection. At that time, it can be operated and repaired or replaced at the ground control center, and some parts that are relatively easy to damage will be left on it. Spares!"

"How to control the ground center?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Professor Qi said: "We will have a robot attached to the storage compartment of the satellite. When necessary, it can be activated to perform maintenance and replacement of parts under human control. However, it is not intelligent and can only be remotely controlled by humans. !"

Launching a satellite is a major event. During this period of time, Tang Xiaochuan put aside everything he could, and even shortened his time with his wife.

When having dinner that day, Tang Xiaochuan suddenly asked Guan Jingwen: "Honey, is there anything special tomorrow?"

Guan Jingwen said: "The venue for the concert in Guangdong City is almost finalized. I want to go and see it tomorrow. What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Tang Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It's okay, you can go!"

"Hey, you are wrong, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Tang Xiaochuan had no choice but to say: "Our company's first satellite will be launched at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I wanted to take you to the scene to see what's new. If you want to go to Guangdong City to choose the venue for the concert, then go first. , our company will launch satellites in the future, there are plenty of opportunities!"

When Guan Jingwen heard it, her eyes lit up: "Really? Then I won't go to Guangdong City. It doesn't matter if the concert location is delayed for a day or two. I want to go with you to watch the satellite launch!"

"You really don't want to go to Guangdong City?"

"not going!"

"Okay then!" Tang Xiaochuan picked up the mobile phone next to him and dialed a number, "Mr. Liu, my wife is going to the rocket launch site tomorrow, please prepare an extra pass!"

"Okay, Mr. Tang, please send me a photo of Mrs. Zun!"

Tang Xiaochuan took a photo of Guan Jingwen with his mobile phone to vent his anger on Liu Zhiyuan.

The launch time of the rocket is ten o'clock in the morning, and it takes two hours to fly from Binhai, so Tang Xiaochuan and Guan Jingwen woke up before seven o'clock in the morning, changed into casual clothes after a quick wash, and took a helicopter to the airport to wait for a few minutes with Liu Zhiyuan. A meeting of company executives.

Tang Xiaochuan, Liu Zhiyuan and four other company executives who went to the site to participate in the rocket launch ceremony this time, plus Guan Jingwen, were only seven. People don't know it, and it is still in the confidential stage.

"Mr. Tang, Ms. Guan, good morning!" Liu Zhiyuan and four other company executives saw Tang Xiaochuan and Guan Jingwen get off the helicopter on several runways and greeted them immediately.

The helicopter's propeller was still spinning at a high speed, and the sound was relatively loud. Tang Xiaochuan just waved his hand.

After the helicopter turned off, Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Boss, your helicopter is not bad. How much did you pay for it? How much is the annual maintenance cost?"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "It's almost two to three million. You can afford it with your money. What's the matter, you like it too?"

"Haha, who wouldn't like this kind of high-end gadget, and it's more face-saving to drive it!" A vice president said with a smile.

Tang Xiaochuan waved his hand: "Okay, I will send one to each of you, but you have to pay for the pilot, rent the apron and other maintenance costs yourself, I don't care about that!"

Liu Zhiyuan immediately smiled and said, "Don't let the boss send it in vain, the boss is generous, thank you, thank you!"

The others laughed and echoed and thanked.

Tang Xiaochuan smiled, raised his hand to look at his watch, and immediately said: "It's getting late, let's hurry up and board the plane!"

The private plane was ready, and seven people boarded the plane one by one. The captain checked the control equipment on the plane again and then started the plane. The plane lifted off along the runway and flew to the southwest.

The entire voyage took two hours, and when the plane landed on the runway east of the rocket launch site, there were still 45 minutes before the rocket occurred.

Immediately after the seven people got off the plane, three cars drove out from the rocket launch site to take them back to the launch site. After passing through the gate, they underwent identity checks before being allowed to enter.

Knowing that Tang Xiaochuan and others were coming, Director Chen, the person in charge of the project, came to greet them.

"Boss, Miss Guan, bosses, hello!"

Tang Xiaochuan asked: "You are the person in charge of the project, you are not at the scene, what are you doing here to meet us?"

Director Chen quickly said: "When I learned that the boss and several bosses are here, Professor Qi asked me to greet him. He led the scientific research personnel to do the final inspection and test on the spot. With his old man here, there will be no problems!"

"Let's go, it's getting late!"

The crowd came to the rocket launcher by car, and the towering rocket stood next to the launcher. Many scientific researchers were still inspecting various parts and equipment, and the surrounding area was surrounded by fences. Tang Xiaochuan and others could only stand outside the fence and watch.

At this time, a loud broadcast came: "The last inspection is completed, and there are still 15 minutes before the ignition and launch. All personnel should evacuate immediately, and the security personnel will immediately clear the field, and the evacuation must be completed 5 minutes before the launch and ignition time!"

Tang Xiaochuan took Guan Jingwen, Liu Zhiyuan and others to the central building next to the launch site, and they met Professor Qi in the control center of the building.

"Boss, it's up to you to press the ignition button later!" Professor Qi said.

"Me? That's fine, I'll enjoy it first, and you will take turns to enjoy it in the future!" Tang Xiaochuan said with a smile.

Several other executives laughed.

As the time draws closer, all the scientific researchers in the control center became nervous, staring at the status of the components on their computers one by one, and reporting any abnormalities immediately, while other irrelevant people looked at the Screen.

“10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1、0”

When the number turned to zero, Tang Xiaochuan instantly pressed the ignition.

On the big screen, a large amount of white steam was ejected from the rocket silo in an instant, and the rocket was pushed into the sky by an extremely powerful thrust after leaving the silo...
