Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

The first half of 2014 went by a little faster than previous years.

Enterprises in the Nanshan Group have done a lot in the past six months.

Although companies from all walks of life will make special reports to Cao Yang every month to see if various key projects are progressing as planned.

However, the reports in early July and early January each year still appear to be a little different.

"Mr. Cao, Venus Technology has completed 66 rocket launches in the first half of this year, and the target achievement rate has exceeded 50%."

"As more and more satellites are launched, our Starlink satellite system becomes more usable."

"At the same time, the construction speed of the space station is also very fast, and it will be successfully completed in two more launches."

Daystar Technology is now a popular company, and the first thing Cao Yang heard was Zhao Siyu's report.

After all, whether it is the Starlink satellite system or the research of various aircraft, they are of great concern to all parties.

In particular, many people are paying close attention to the H-20 project in cooperation with AVIC and the Eagle heavy transport helicopter, which is progressing rapidly.

Not to mention the storm they created in the radar market after combining diamond and gallium nitride power components.

To put it bluntly, Daystar Technology has become quite popular now.

Although the size cannot be compared with giants such as Boeing, it will only happen sooner or later.

"The upgrade of Starlink satellites must also be done simultaneously. Multiple types of satellites must cooperate with each other to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two."

Venus Technology’s satellite technology is already very mature.

There are even large-scale satellite assembly lines.

But Cao Yang obviously does not intend to let one type of satellite completely dominate the Starlink satellite system.

As the technological level of enterprises in the Nanshan System continues to improve and the number of projects involved continues to increase, satellite technology is actually constantly changing.

For example, at the beginning, the main function of Starlink satellites was communication.

Slowly, some high-altitude reconnaissance tasks have now been incorporated.

Even among each batch of launch missions, there is a satellite whose main mission is reconnaissance, and even plays a role in interference under special circumstances.

Although so far, humans have not really experienced a space war.

But who knows what will happen in the future.

Venus Technology has so many satellites distributed in space, so it naturally needs to consider the safety of these satellites.

"We have been doing work in this area, and our satellites are manufactured using a modular production method. In the future, when the technology matures, we can also use special equipment to upgrade the satellites, or directly Perform maintenance and technical upgrades on some satellites in space.”

"We are also specifically developing some equipment to capture satellites, so that they can be used to great effect when satellites need to be recycled in the future."

Zhao Siyu spent a lot of time giving Cao Yang a good introduction to the Starlink satellite system, and then started talking about the progress of various aircraft projects.

"Kunpeng heavy transport helicopters have begun to be equipped in many departments, and the response from all aspects has been very good."

"However, this aircraft is not very practical on warships. Relevant departments are now eager to put the Eagle heavy transport helicopter into production."

"Especially in the southern seas, reclamation work continues, and the demand for heavy transport helicopters is still relatively strong."

"Starting from Qiongzhou, taking the Eagle can directly reach many specific islands and reefs, which will provide great assistance to relevant departments at critical moments."

Some time ago, the joint exercise between the United States and Luzon came to a hasty conclusion.

The American side also makes noises from behind every now and then, so all kinds of things will pop up.

Although China has been building various warships like dumplings in recent years, after all, the development time is still relatively short. If it wants to completely compete with the strength of the United States, it is obviously still beyond its capabilities.

The most important thing is that the speed of warships is far inferior to that of airplanes.

Once there is any movement, the aircraft can appear above the target islands and reefs in a few hours.

But warships can take days.

"Currently, all aspects of work are progressing as planned, and prototypes will be produced in the second half of this year."

"If the demand from relevant departments is relatively strong, we can combine the testing work with some tasks, so that relevant departments can use this product in advance."

Zhao Siyu naturally understands the urgent needs in the southern waters.

Although reclamation work is still in full swing, airports will also be built in some places in the future.

But at this stage, heavy transport helicopters are obviously the most convenient.

Of course, if it can be paired with some armed helicopters, the effect will naturally be better.

After all, the self-protection capabilities of transport aircraft are relatively weak and do not have much deterrence.

But if the armed helicopters directly dispatch missiles and rocket launchers, the situation will be different.

Whether it is the fishing boats or coast guard ships below, when they make some inappropriate actions, they must carefully consider whether they can withstand the anger brought by the armed helicopters.

Just to achieve long-distance deterrence, this is obviously not a task that ordinary armed helicopters can complete.

Venus Technology is also working on projects in this area.

It’s just that the priority is not as high as that of the Eagle and H-20.

"By the way, how is the drone mothership project that we jointly produced with Wenchong Shipyard going?"

Venus Technology will definitely not touch something like an aircraft carrier.

At most, it is to participate in some sub-projects.

But Cao Yang is very interested in various projects related to drones.

Until now, various drones have received a lot of development resources within Venus Technology.

Whether it is the Scorpion drone, unmanned helicopter, or Skyhawk drone that has been mass-produced and equipped with relevant departments, it is very popular with everyone.

In addition, several drones with special functions are also under development.

According to Cao Yang's idea, the relevant departments of China will be able to deploy one or several drone motherships in the southern waters.

As long as the performance of various drones is outstanding enough, the influence will definitely not be any worse than that of an aircraft carrier.

People can even integrate various tasks such as air defense, anti-submarine, electronic jamming, electronic reconnaissance, ground attack, and ship attack into the UAV formation.

An aircraft carrier may only be able to carry a hundred or so fighter jets, but a drone carrier is much more flexible.

People can put more drones in the cabin and take them out when needed.

In this way, one drone mothership may be able to meet the needs of hundreds or even thousands of drones.
