Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.
Chapter 926: The militarization of space, no one will give in (page 13)
Lin Rong and Wang Ziming were at the U.S. headquarters this week to report on Apple China’s next steps.
The two of them don't have a house in the United States, and naturally they don't have a car.
So I rented a car at the airport right after I got off the plane, a Ford Mondeo, which is considered a mobility scooter for Americans.
What they rented was a high-end model, with navigation, reversing cameras, etc. all fully equipped.
After getting in the car, they used the Mondeo's built-in navigation to search for the route and headed towards the hotel.
This is not the first time for both of them to come to the United States, and they are very familiar with various procedures.
But for the road conditions in the United States, it obviously has nothing to do with familiarity.
Except for people who often drive by themselves, normal people will definitely have to rely on navigation to find the location accurately when they come to a relatively unfamiliar place.
In the beginning, everything was fine.
But after entering the city, Lin Rong suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the navigation.
It has been more than ten minutes since I walked, but there are no new reminders from the navigation.
This is obviously not right.
However, thinking that this time the person in the car was her boss, Lin Rong didn't want to show that she was a loser, so she endured and continued driving for more than ten minutes.
There is still no response from the car navigation system.
This time, she naturally knew something was wrong.
After neatly parking the car, she operated the navigation again.
However, the situation was completely different from what she thought.
"Mr. Wang, there seems to be something wrong with the navigation of this car."
Lin Rong was a little embarrassed and said to Wang Ziming, "I'll give it a try using Google Maps on my phone."
Although there are problems with the car navigation, you can still use your mobile phone to navigate.
As soon as they got off the plane, they had already completed various operations such as changing mobile phone cards, so they didn't have to worry about their mobile phones not working.
But this time the situation was different. Lin Rong spent a long time operating the Google APP on her phone, but there was no response.
The software can be opened normally, but after searching for the target address, nothing happens.
The only dialog box that pops up is "GPS signal is weak".
This time, they sat on wax.
Without navigation, they couldn't find the way to the hotel.
Not to mention in the United States, even in China, Lin Rong would not be able to find a place without a navigation system.
"We're in the city now, how come there's no GPS signal?"
Wang Ziming also felt strange.
Although he didn't know where to drive now, he didn't express his anger at Lin Rong.
After all, this matter wasn't her fault.
"I'll check online to see what I should do in this situation."
Lin Rong took a deep breath and nervously picked up her phone to check.
Being unfamiliar with the place, she was really a little frightened.
However, when she searched the Internet, she found that this word had become a hot search term.
Not only do they encounter the problem of weak GPS signal, but a large number of people have this problem.
At this time, she roughly understood what was going on, "Mr. Wang, it seems that there is a problem with the GPS. I think many people have encountered similar problems to us."
"But it's so strange. It's the first time we've encountered this situation in so many years."
"I'll get off the car and ask about how to get to the hotel."
As the head of sales, Lin Rong's mind is not that rigid.
Soon, she found a new solution.
However, the fact that GPS satellites have no signal in some areas of the United States is becoming more and more troublesome.
"Gryffin, it has been preliminarily confirmed that one of the GPS satellites has lost its signal this time, causing the GPS signal to be lost in some areas."
"Judging from the movement in space, the most likely possibility is that a Starlink satellite of Venus Technology is close to the GPS satellite."
"Within two hours of the opponent's approach, the signal from this GPS satellite disappeared."
"I estimate that not all of Venus Technology's Starlink satellites are communication satellites, but some are other satellites with military purposes."
As a representative of the Pentagon, John quickly inquired about the relevant situation.
This matter can be big or small.
What was announced must have been some glitches in the GPS satellites, which have now been fixed.
In this way, public opinion can be dissipated quickly, so as not to bring too much pressure to everyone.
But the actual reason really has nothing to do with the malfunction.
The United States has determined that this matter is related to Daystar Technology.
You know, GPS is not a product of a company in the United States. It is a satellite navigation system directly managed by relevant departments.
It can be said that Venus Technology has touched the tiger’s butt this time.
"We arranged a satellite to scare the Chang'e Space Station, but the other party directly arranged an interference satellite to block part of our GPS signal."
"How dare they do this?"
It was hard for Griffin to accept the result.
Originally, everyone was watching the fun, but why did the melon fall on their heads just as they watched?
This is hard to accept.
All along, except for a few special organizations, no one has dared to easily provoke the United States.
Now China's Venus Technology actually dares to attack GPS. This is definitely something that is hard to accept.
Even though they were the ones who initiated the incident, Griffin still felt that it was Daystar Technology's fault.
I can bully you, but you can't fight back.
American logic is so overbearing.
"We may have to downplay this matter in the short term, but in the next step I think it is necessary for the relevant departments to set up a special project to develop our own jamming satellites."
"Otherwise, if there is any conflict in the future, we will be very passive."
The United States has always been far ahead in aerospace-related forces.
Especially in terms of the layout of various satellites, American technology is absolutely top-notch.
No one can deny this.
But now this situation is slowly facing a bigger challenge, which neither John nor Griffin want to see.
John took the initiative to ask relevant departments to allocate funds to research weapons such as jamming satellites. Naturally, everyone was highly motivated.
"Our Space Exploration Technology Company is the world leader in satellite launch technology. I am confident that this satellite interference project will be completed as soon as possible."
Masco will naturally not miss such a good development opportunity.
Their Starlink satellite system has a huge funding gap. Although there are many shareholders, no one is willing to spend money casually.
Therefore, it would be best if there is financial support from relevant departments.
At this time, Musko was not as wealthy as later generations.
