Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 308: Commercial 5G network comes out, and history is rewritten!
"Okay, let's get to work. We must transform the base station into a satellite as quickly as possible. Our time is very urgent."

Zhao Chenguang urged again.

"Okay, chief, I'll get to work first." Liu Yaoqing responded and took his engineers to modify the base station.

Because it knew that the base station would be launched into space, Kunpeng Company always designed the base station equipment in accordance with satellite standards, which saved a lot of trouble for subsequent modifications.

There are two problems that satellite base stations need to solve now. The first point is to deal with high temperature resistance, because even for low-orbit satellites, the surface temperature will soar sharply when faced with direct sunlight.

For example, the temperature on the sunny side of the International Space Station is generally 114 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature can reach 225 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature after light refraction. Without light refraction, it would be hundreds of degrees high.

The current international mainstream cooling method is to redesign the thermal control system and redesign and layout the heat exchange system in the satellite cabin, so that heat exchange can be quickly realized between the illuminated parts of the satellite and the unexposed parts, thereby maintaining a constant temperature. a state of balance.

The second step is to apply an insulating outer layer material to the satellite. This material is generally composed of multiple layers of composite materials, which can effectively reflect sunlight and radiate high radiant heat outwards. Even if heat enters the surface of the satellite material, it can limit the temperature rise.

Of course, in addition to these two types of heat dissipation, there are also various heat dissipation methods such as gold and silver coats and the installation of flexible solar panels.

After the heat dissipation problem is solved, the satellite energy problem must also be solved.

Liu Yaoqing pressed the emergency call button without hesitation.

Chen Xing looked confused.

Zhao Chenguang asked quickly.

Zhao Chenguang felt a chill down his back.

"All satellite technicians gather urgently, all satellite technicians gather urgently, the satellite base station has arrived!"

The sound of the broadcast spread throughout the satellite R&D base, and hundreds of scientific research engineers walked out of their dormitories one after another and went to the work station square to gather.

Because underground, some of them can no longer tell the difference between day and night, and they only know to rest according to the time of the base.

"You are a smart man." Zhao Chenguang nodded and continued: "I have something to confirm with you."

"whats the matter?"

All of a sudden.

"Replacing humans?"

Zhao Chenguang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "If the 5G network comes out, can everything be interconnected?"

He has watched "The Matrix". If artificial intelligence is highly developed, will humans be kept in captivity?

"Repeat it again!"

If it were other satellite research and development bases, it might take more than ten days or even a month or two to complete the work, but things are different now. Since the release of the "Skynet Project", satellite talents from all over the country have come to Changxi. Just waiting for the transformation of the base station.

The underground office is only about 30 square meters, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the necessary organs and basic things. It even has a potted plant.

"The era of big data is also called the era of intelligence. The highly developed network can collect any traces of users on the Internet. Its arrival will extend the scope of artificial intelligence."

"No!" Seeing that this was the problem, Chen Xing might as well say it bluntly, and fully explained the prospects of 5G network: "Not only will everything be connected to the Internet, Longguo will lead the world into the era of big data."

Rocket engineers also gathered one after another.

The alarm bells rang loudly in the base.

And at the same time.

Seemingly sensing Zhao Chenguang's worry, Chen Xing smiled and said: "No matter how powerful artificial intelligence develops, its essence is still code. Don't worry. In addition to artificial intelligence, cloud storage, driverless driving, and big data computing are all derivatives." .”

They do not need to participate in the research and development of satellites, but have to return to the ground to perform fuel filling of the launch vehicle.

Countless scientific researchers were awakened.

Chen Xing took a breath and continued: "This artificial intelligence is not the current artificial intelligence, but an AI that truly has the wisdom of the human brain. After it is highly developed, it can even replace humans in thinking."

What Liu Yaoqing needs to do now is to redesign the energy system of the base station, including energy storage and energy output.

Only when the energy and heat dissipation problems are solved can the satellite base station be successfully launched.

It is common sense that energy is needed to operate equipment. Even humans need to eat to maintain life.

In a space area of ​​10,000 meters, it is impossible for satellites to lower themselves to recharge or replace batteries. They can only be self-sufficient, so solar energy has become the preferred energy source.

"sit down."

Zhao Chenguang greeted.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Zhao Chenguang did not stay at the Satellite Plaza, but took Chen Xing to his office.

As if he was afraid that Chen Xing would misunderstand, he explained: "Of course, it's not nationalization, it's just a name change, because Beidou satellites have already received international security endorsements, and the West doesn't dare to act rashly. If your civilian satellites go up there, they won't be protected." A dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."

Chen Xing moved his chair, found a place to sit down and said, "Chief Zhao brought me down. Do you want to talk about something?"

The rockets in the underground are prepared for wartime. If war is not coming, they will not be launched.

Seeing Chen Xing asking again, Zhao Chenguang also told the story about the safety level of "Skynet Project" being upgraded to "nuclear level":
"We all know about the Pakistan Railway base station. In order to prevent the West from attacking the satellite base station again, the national think tank proposes that you change the name of the satellite base station to Beidou Communications, with the security endorsement from Longguo."

“What does the big data era mean?”

After the words fell, he added: "So, Chief Zhao, you are looking for me..."

"All satellite technicians gather urgently, all satellite technicians gather urgently, the satellite base station has arrived!"

There are no sofas in the negotiation area, only wooden chairs, and the table is not square but round, in order to save space.

"Jingle Bell--"

After explanation, Chen Xing also understood and confirmed again: "The fox is pretending to be the tiger, right? Use the name of Beidou to build the network."

"That's right, it's just a fox pretending to be a tiger. What do you think?"

Zhao Chenguang asked again.

The Beidou satellite, like the Three Gorges Dam, has been classified as "nuclear level" by Longguo. As long as it dares to move, it dares to nuclear counterattack.

If it is launched under the name of Longxing Technology, because it is of "civilian nature", there is no guarantee that the West will continue to test the bottom line.

"No problem, it's just a name." Chen Xing smiled and continued: "Just having Beidou's tiger skin can save a lot of trouble."

"That's natural." Zhao Chenguang nodded and explained: "If the West insists on finding trouble with the Beidou satellites, we can legitimately counterattack and shoot down their satellites."

"correct."

Just after he finished speaking, Zhao Chenguang thought of another thing and continued: "One more thing is whether the 5G network can open encrypted communications and networks. If it can be used for military purposes, the launch costs of the launch vehicle can be borne by us."

Encrypted communications and encrypted networks, if they have these two functions, they can be deployed in military operations.

Modern warfare is about poor communication and information.

For example, when the United States attacked Iraq, its communication satellites were directly closed to the outside world. The latter could not even find American troops anywhere, and finally handed over the answer to the "Gulf War" that shocked the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever has clairvoyance and ears will master the elements of victory in modern warfare.

"some."

Chen Xing smiled faintly and responded: "As I said before, we can provide encrypted communications, high-speed networks, and the interconnection of everything."

"That's okay, that's okay." Zhao Chenguang was also a little excited in his heart.

He has not forgotten that Chen Xing mentioned the Internet of Everything more than once. If tanks, planes, and intercontinental missiles can really be connected to make them intelligent, wouldn't the military strength of the Dragon Kingdom take off from the same place?
Although there is no steel flood now, if tens of thousands of fighter planes are dispatched to bomb at once, how will you respond?
"But Chief Zhao, the three major operators may still need to negotiate a cooperation model, and I don't want to operate a new network."

Chen Xing knows how to measure things well.

China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom have millions of employees combined. If Longxing Technology uses the 5G network to reduce dimensionality, these three companies will definitely not be able to withstand it and will declare bankruptcy.

But can they go bankrupt?
Millions of people are unemployed, even if only half of them are unemployed, it is a disaster, and the country will not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, Chen Xing and Ren Guofei discussed it and signed a sharing agreement with the three major operators. They will operate the communication network, and Longxing Technology and Kunpeng Company will get the share.

In this way, you can not only obtain your own interests, but also protect jobs.

Hearing this, Zhao Chenguang smiled calmly and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry. As long as the 5G network comes out, the operators will naturally come to you."

As he finished speaking, the smile on his lips grew wider, and he said meaningfully: "Otherwise, who do you think paid for the rocket?"

"I see."

Chen Xing suddenly woke up.

No wonder someone has to bear the cost of the launch vehicle. It turns out that the three operators are already paying attention silently.

From this point of view, everyone's willingness to cooperate will be consistent, and subsequent share negotiations will be much simpler.

"It's almost done. There are dormitories and beds here. Let's just wait for the satellite base station to be completed." Zhao Chenguang stood up and said.

"Row."

Chen Xing smiled.

...at noon the next day.

Satellite R&D Plaza Center.

When the installation of the solar panels was completed, Liu Yaoqing, who had dark circles under his eyes but bright eyes, commanded in a deep voice: "Carry out an energy absorption test. If there is no problem with the energy system, start the satellite trial operation."

"clear."

The engineer immediately responded and did so.

As the simulated light equipment is turned on, light irradiates the photovoltaic panels, and the light energy is gradually converted into electrical energy to maintain the operation of the equipment.

"Energy conversion is normal."

"The built-in battery begins to store energy."

"Satellite operation."

"Satellite is on."

"The power output is stable, the built-in right battery stores energy normally, and no abnormalities are found."

"Check the cooling system."

"The lighting simulation power has been increased."

"The temperature is rising rapidly."

"The outer temperature is 57 degrees and the internal temperature is 34 degrees. The insulation material performs perfectly. Do you want to continue to increase the power?"

"Enlarge it."

The test lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon. After ensuring that all the data was normal, Liu Yaoqing dared to sign his name.

In the serious aerospace industry, responsibilities are lifelong.

Something went wrong?

Those who signed it always suffered!

After signing, Liu Yaoqing also made an internal call to Zhao Chenguang to inform him of the specific situation of the R&D base.

Not a moment.

Zhao Chenguang appeared in a hurry.

He didn't talk nonsense, glanced at the engineers, waved his hand and said: "Transport to the ground, launch immediately!"

"hiss--"

The engineers were shocked.

Launched just after testing?

in such a hurry?
However, what they don't know is that all rocket launch centers across the country are waiting for the results. As long as they say it's OK, Longguo will use all its efforts to lay out 5G networks.

"let's move!"

Seeing that the engineer was still dazed, Zhao Chenguang raised his voice and urged.

All of a sudden.

Chaotic footsteps were everywhere.

The engineers were a little confused, but they successfully transported the satellite base station back to the ground, and worked with the rocket engineers to carry out the final steps of "satellite and rocket integration".

Four p.m.

Chauncey rocket launch control room.

Chen Xing, Huang Zhiren, Zhao Chenguang and others have all arrived in the command room, and they are waiting for engineers to adjust the preset orbit parameters.

Half past four.

The orbit parameters are debugged.

The engineer stood up, looked at Zhao Chenguang and said: "The launch vehicle has entered the preset orbit parameters, please give instructions from the leader."

"Ready to launch."

Zhao Chenguang said expressionlessly.

Despite his calm appearance, he is actually a panicked person. If the satellite base station cannot lay out the 5G network, then he will have to bear the blame.

Chen Xing, Huang Zhiren, and Liu Yaoqing were also calm on the surface, but in fact they were panicking inside. After all, this can rewrite history.

"receive."

The engineer received the order and immediately pointed into the microphone and shouted: "The Yuanzheng-2C carrier rocket will be launched in five minutes. All units please pay attention to personnel evacuation. Repeat, the Yuanzheng-2C carrier rocket will be launched in five minutes. All units Please pay attention to personnel evacuation.”

As soon as he finished shouting into the microphone, he looked at the engineer beside him and said: "Report various data, does the rocket have the conditions for liftoff?"

"No abnormality warning in the fuel chamber!"

"The temperature sensor has no warning!"

"No warning from separation sensor!"

"The outdoor temperature is 17 degree Celsius, the humidity is 65%, and the north wind is level . There are no external conditions affecting the rocket and it is allowed to take off!"

Everyone is reporting numbers to make sure the launch vehicle doesn't go wrong.

After synthesizing all the data, the launcher looked at the precise stopwatch and waited for the last minute to arrive.

"Last minute countdown!"

"fifty-nine!"

"Fifty-eight!"

"fifty seven!"

As the numbers continued to decrease, Chen Xing held his breath. He was too nervous. This was related to whether the history of Longguo's communication would be rewritten.

If successful, when future textbooks mention 5G networks, there will definitely be a mention of Longxing Technology Company.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

The engineer opened the accidental protection box, revealing the red launch button. With the shout of "one", he quickly pressed it and shouted at a higher volume: "Ignition!"

Other engineers repeated the word "ignition" and stared at the instrument values.

"boom--"

With the ignition button pressed.

The Yuanzheng 2, which was fixed on the launch pad, let out a "dragon roar", broke free from the restraints on the ground, and shot straight into the sky.

It passes through the troposphere, through the stratosphere, and then through the mesosphere, reaching the warm layer located at 200 kilometers.

After the two satellites were ejected from the warehouse, the sensors immediately sent the data back to the ground. The ground engineer reported the situation again: "The satellites exited the warehouse, arrived at the preset orbit, and deployed the solar photovoltaic panels."

"Solar photovoltaic panels unfold!"

"Expanded!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chenguang immediately commanded: "Launch the Yuanzheng-3B carrier rocket to achieve Samsung network connection."

"clear."

"receive."

The Yuanzheng-2C launch vehicle is a low-orbit launch rocket, while the Yuanzheng-3B launch vehicle is a medium-orbit rocket.

As Zhao Chenguang issued the order, another dragon roar came from the Changxi Launch Center, and the expedition rocket soared into the sky.

Chen Xing also immediately contacted the "Information and Communications Team" located at the Longxing Base in Shencheng and asked them to conduct network testing, because the first area covered by the three satellites was Eastern Guangdong Province.

Daoichman, Shen Sen, Qian Yu, and Yu Bicheng were already in place. Even Ren He from Kunpeng Company came to the Longxing base. They were all waiting for the final connection results.

As the third satellite base station enters the preset orbit, the three satellites begin to establish connections, and the cellular network gradually covers the ground.

[Available network signal detected! ]
The 5G network testing equipment of Longxing Technology Communication Laboratory popped up a network prompt, which made Shen Sen, who had always been calm, completely unable to hold back and couldn't help shouting:

"It's done! It's done! We succeeded!"
