Chapter 308: Commercial 5G network comes out, and history is rewritten!
"Okay, go 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, on the sunny side of the International Space Station, the temperature 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 temperature.
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 the irradiated part of the satellite and the non-irradiated part can be quickly realized heat exchange to maintain a balanced state.
The second step is to apply heat-insulating outer 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 satellite The surface of the material can also 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.
Energy is required to operate equipment. This is common sense. Even humans need to eat to maintain life.
In the 10,000-meter space area, satellites cannot be lowered to recharge or replace batteries. They can only be self-sufficient, so solar energy has become the preferred energy source.
What Liu Yaoqing is currently doing 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.
If it is other satellite research and development bases, it may take more than ten days, or even one or two months to complete the work, but today is different from the past. Since the release of the "Skynet Project", satellite talents from all over the country have They all came to Chauncey and waited for the renovation of the base station.
Liu Yaoqing pressed the emergency call button without hesitation.
In a flash.
The alarm bell rang loudly in the base.
“Dingle bell——”
Countless scientific researchers were awakened.
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.
"All satellite technicians gather urgently, all satellite technicians gather urgently, the satellite base station has arrived!"
"Repeat it again!"
"All satellite technicians urgently gather Assemble, all satellite technicians gather urgently, the satellite base station has arrived!”
The sound of the announcement 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 workstation square to gather.
At the same time.
Rocket engineers also gathered one after another.
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.
The rockets in the underground are prepared for wartime. If the war is not coming, they will not be launched.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Zhao Chenguang did not stay at the Satellite Plaza, but took Chen Xing to his office.
The underground office is only about 30 square meters, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the essentials, including basically a potted plant.
“Sit down.”
Zhao Chenguang greeted.
There are no sofas in the negotiation area, but wooden chairs. The table is not square but round, in order to save space.
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?"
"You are a smart man." Zhao Chenguang He nodded and continued: "I have something to confirm with you."
"What is it?"
Chen Xing looked confused.
Zhao Chenguang did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "If the 5G network comes out, can everything be interconnected?"
"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."
" What does the big data era mean?”
Zhao Chenguang asked quickly.
“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 artificial intelligence.”
Chen Xing changed his breath. , continued: "This artificial intelligence is not the current artificial intelligence, but an AI that truly has the wisdom of the human brain. After being highly developed, it can even replace humans in thinking."
"Replace humans ?”
Zhao Chenguang felt a chill in his back.
He has watched "The Matrix". If artificial intelligence is highly developed, will humans be kept in captivity?
Seemingly sensing Zhao Chenguang’s worry, Chen Xing smiled and said: “No matter how powerful the development of artificial intelligence is, its essence is still code. Data calculations are all derivatives."
After he finished speaking, he added: "So, Chief Zhao, you are looking for me..."
Seeing Chen Xing asking again, Zhao Chenguang also said that the security level of the "Skynet Project" was upgraded to "nuclear level":
"We all know about the Pakistan Railway Base Station. In order to prevent the West from attacking again Starting with the satellite base station, the national think tank proposed that you change the name of the satellite base station to Beidou Communications, and Long Guo will provide security endorsement."
As if he was afraid that Chen Xing would misunderstand, he explained: "Of course, it's not acceptance. Returning it to the state, just changing the name, because the Beidou satellite has received international security endorsement, and the West does not dare to act rashly. If your civilian satellite goes up, they will not be allowed to jump over the wall. "
After the explanation, Chen Xing also understood. , and confirmed again: "The fox is pretending to be the tiger's power, right? Use the name of Beidou to build the network."
"Yes, it is the fox pretending to be the tiger's power. What do you think?"
Zhao Chenguang asked again.
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 launch a nuclear counterattack.
If it is launched under the name of Longxing Technology, because it is of "civilian nature", there is really 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 the tiger skin of Beidou can save a lot of trouble."
"Then It's natural." Zhao Chenguang nodded and explained: "If the West insists on attacking the Beidou satellites, we can also legitimately fight back and shoot down their satellites."
"That's right."
Just after finishing speaking, Zhao Chenguang remembered one more thing and continued: "There is one more thing, that is whether the 5G network can open encrypted communications and networks. If it can be used for military purposes, the launch vehicle The launch costs can be borne by us. "
Encrypted communication and encrypted network, if it has these two functions, it can be deployed in military operations.
Modern warfare is about poor communication and information.
Like when the United States attacked Iraq, communication satellites were directly closed to the outside world. The latter could not even find American troops anywhere, and finally handed over the answer sheet of the "Gulf War" that shocked the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you have clairvoyance and a good ear, you will master the elements of victory in modern war.
“Yes.”
Chen Xing smiled faintly and responded: “As I said before, we can provide encrypted communication, high-speed network, and the interconnection of all things.”
"That's okay, that's okay." Zhao Chenguang was also a little excited.
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 spot?
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.
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.
Can they go bankrupt?
One million people are unemployed, even if only half of it is, it is a disaster, and the country will not allow such a thing to happen.
So 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 sharing.
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."
After the words fell, he smiled. Even more prosperous, he said meaningfully: "Otherwise, who do you think paid for the rocket?"
"That's it."
Chen Xing suddenly woke up.
No wonder someone is bearing 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 is consistent, and the subsequent share negotiation will be much simpler.
"That's enough. There are dormitories and beds here. Let's just wait for the satellite base station to be completed." Zhao Chenguang stood up and said.
“Okay.”
Chen Xing smiled.
......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."
"Understood."
The engineer immediately responded and did as he was told.
As the simulated light equipment is turned on, the 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."
"The satellite is operating."
"The satellite is turned on."< br>
"The power output is stable, the built-in right battery stores energy normally, and no abnormalities are found."
"Check the cooling system."
"The light 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."
The test lasted until two o'clock in the afternoon. Only after ensuring that all the data was normal did Liu Yaoqing dare to sign his name.
For the rigorous aerospace industry, responsibilities are lifelong.
Something went wrong?
Those who signed have suffered a lot!
After signing, Liu Yaoqing also made an internal call to Zhao Chenguang to inform him of the specific situation of the R&D base.
A moment later.
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?
So urgent?
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 is OK, Longguo will use all its efforts to lay out 5G networks.
“Take action!”
Seeing that the engineer was still dazed, Zhao Chenguang raised his voice and urged.
In a flash.
Chaotic footsteps were everywhere.
The engineers were a little confused, but they still successfully transported the satellite base station back to the ground, and worked with the rocket engineers to carry out the final step of "satellite and rocket integration".
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chauncy Rocket Launch Control Room.
Chen Xing, Huang Zhiren, Zhao Chenguang and others have arrived at the command room, and they are waiting for engineers to adjust the preset orbit parameters.
At half past four.
The orbit parameter debugging is completed.
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."
"Get ready for launch."
Zhao Chenguang He said with a deadpan expression.
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 are also calm on the surface, but in fact they are panicking inside. After all, this can rewrite history.
"Received."
The engineer received the order and immediately pointed at the microphone and shouted: "The Yuanzheng-2C carrier rocket will be launched in five minutes. All units please pay attention to the evacuation of personnel. Repeat Once again, the Yuanzheng-2C carrier rocket will be launched in five minutes. All units please pay attention to the evacuation of personnel."
Just after shouting into the microphone, he looked at the engineer beside him and said: "Report everything. Data, is the rocket qualified for liftoff? "
"No abnormality warning in the fuel chamber!"
"No warning in the temperature sensor!"
"The outdoor temperature is 17 degrees Celsius, the humidity is 65%, the north wind is level 3, there are no external conditions, and the rocket is allowed to take off!"
Everyone is reporting values to ensure that the launch vehicle does not Something will go wrong.
After synthesizing all the data, the launcher looked at the precise stopwatch and waited for the last minute to arrive.
“The last minute countdown!”
“Fifty-nine!”
“Fifty-eight!”
“Fifty-seven!”
As the numbers continue to decrease, Chen Xing has held his breath. He is too nervous. This is related to whether the history of Longguo's communication will 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 touch 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 "Ignition" Two words, eyes fixed on the instrument value.
"Boom——"
As the ignition button is 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, and 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 are deployed!"
"Has been deployed!"
Hearing this, Zhao Chenguang immediately commanded: "Launch the Yuanzheng-3B carrier rocket to achieve Samsung network connection."
"Understood."
"Received."
The Yuanzheng-2C carrier rocket is a low-orbit launch rocket, while the Yuanzheng-3B carrier rocket 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 Sky Group" 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.
Deutschman, Shen Sen, Qian Yu, and Yu Bicheng have all been in place. Even Ren He from Kunpeng Company has also come to the Longxing base. They are all waiting for the final connection result.
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 the usually calm Shen Sen completely unable to hold back, and couldn't help shouting:
"It's done! Done! We succeeded!”
