Chapter 865: Can I go to space to farm?
Chang Haonan naturally wants to actively participate in the ruthless work of the ocean surveillance system.
However, he did not immediately give an agreeable answer.
After all, Haiyang-1 is definitely still a civilian satellite belonging to the State Oceanic Administration.
So the data obtained by other equipment on the satellite also needs to be processed together.
However, in this case, the calculation pressure will be considerable.
You know, before he used a supercomputer to process that picture, it took him one night and one morning.
Although the single imaging area of the ocean monitoring satellite will not be as high as the terrifying millions of square kilometers like Ziyu-201, it will still be a huge burden for the satellite-based computer with poor performance.
After organizing the language, Chang Haonan raised his concerns to Luan Wenjie:
“Director Luan, you also saw it last time at the Tanzhou Measurement and Control Station. The calculation of the dimensional process is quite complicated, and there is quite a black box part in it. ”
"As far as I know, the performance of computers mounted on satellites may be worse than ordinary commercial machines due to energy consumption and radiation protection issues?"
Luan Wenjie also decisively approved of Chang Haonan Said:
“Indeed, the performance of spaceborne computers cannot be improved in a short time, at least it cannot be compared with supercomputers on the ground.”
However, immediately afterwards, He changed the topic again:
“So our Ocean-1 A satellite is still focused on technical verification. As long as it can process part of it on the satellite side and ensure that the timeliness is improved compared to the resource series satellites, it will be fine. We do not deliberately pursue specific indicator data. ”
With these words, Chang Haonan felt relieved.
After all, he didn’t cross the border much in his previous life. His understanding of the aerospace field was basically limited to the public part and a small amount of information obtained through communication with peers. He was not able to figure out a certain technology like he did in his old profession. To what extent has it developed specifically?
But the general trend of improving satellite computing capabilities and reducing the pressure on ground stations as much as possible is definitely correct.
Otherwise, no matter how fast the data processing speed of the ground station is, there will still be one or more passes between it and the terminals that really need to use remote sensing information, such as ocean strike formations or scientific investigation units. data transfer process.
It is difficult to achieve real-time or quasi-real-time reconnaissance.
"That's no problem."
Chang Haonan nodded:
"But I may spend most of my time in Shengjing in the next two or three months, and it won't be until the end of this year at the earliest in December. Let’s get involved in your project again.”
“Is the Taihang project about to be finalized?”
Ding Gaoheng from behind the desk suddenly stepped in and asked.
After the establishment of the General Armament Department and the group restructuring of the five major military industry corporations, the administrative approval authority for the design finalization process was gradually transferred from the Science and Technology Commission to the former.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the development of the national economy, especially the significant driving role it has brought to the machinery industry after the establishment of the Equipment Industry Department, the country is considering gradually removing the militarized character of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. .
For example, Zhang Hongbiao, the newly transferred deputy director, and Luan Wenjie, who is rumored to be promoted to deputy director soon, do not have military status.
“Yes, it is expected that the national appraisal will start at the end of September and the design will be finalized before the end of the year.”
Chang Haonan replied.
Although the entire research and development process of the Turbofan 10 went smoothly, the national appraisal process for design finalization is quite detailed and standardized, and it will not reduce any projects just because you have a smooth journey ahead.
Even if you pass all the subjects at once, it will take about two months.
And it was lucky that it happened just before winter, otherwise it would not be unusual for the appraisal to take more than half a year or even more than a year in order to wait for extremely cold temperature conditions.
“It doesn’t matter.”
After the conversation between Ding Gaoheng and Chang Haonan came to an end, Luan Wenjie waved his hand:
"Ocean monitoring...well, the equipment requirements of marine scientific satellites and land remote sensing satellites are different, so we are still doing the final research on the hardware level. The integration with the software program will not start until the end of the year. You can still use your own Arrangement is the main thing. "
"Besides, your core algorithm should be ready-made, and it should only need to be optimized..."
...
In the Ocean 1 After the topic of the account was over, Luan Wenjie stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Ding Gaoheng:
"Director Ding, my affairs are over. You and Comrade Haonan..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Chang Haonan quickly stopped the other party:
"I've finished talking about Director Luan's meeting with me, but I haven't talked about my meeting with Director Luan yet. ”
He was brought into the other party’s topic as soon as he entered the door. As a result, he hasn’t finished the business he came here for yet.
How could Luan Wenjie be allowed to run away like this. Luan Wenjie, who had already picked up his briefcase, sat back down again.
"It seems that you two are quite destined..."
Ding Gaoheng half-jokingly looked at the two people on the sofa and said:
"Arrived on the same day When I come here, I still have to look for other people to do things?”
“It’s really a coincidence.”
Luan Wenjie looked at Chang Haonan:
“I don’t know if Mr. Chang came to me because he wanted to...”
“That’s right, I have a project here, and I hope to use space breeding to obtain some Beneficial crop traits happen to be launched by the Shenzhou-2 mission early next year, so...can you arrange a place in the mission payload? "
The latter is also straight to the point.
They are all doing serious projects, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Space breeding..."
Not only Luan Wenjie, but also Ding Gaoheng's face showed some surprise:
"Isn't this research in the field of agronomy... Xiao Chang, are you still... Are you studying this secretly?"
"It's definitely not me. I don't know about agriculture...not to mention grains. It's not much different anyway."
Chang Haonan said. It was a moderate joke, and then he continued to explain:
"Actually, this matter is also related to the Ziyu-2 remote sensing satellite that Director Luan just mentioned."
Hearing this, Luan Wenjie and Ding Gaoheng instantly became interested.
“Didn’t I specially process several photos taken by the Ziyu-201 star in the central and western regions of my country? From them, I discovered about 80 abnormal information data that had not been observed before. , and then based on recent geological exploration results, we found that desert terrain that meets certain characteristics has the potential to be improved into soil..."
"..."
Chang Haonan spent a few minutes , briefly introduced his plan to turn sand into soil.
Of course, the specific technical part has been removed.
After all, it is impossible for him to take out a small blackboard to teach the other two people.
“In short, according to the suggestion of Professor He Guangyou, who has extensive experience in the field of desert control in the past, after completing the soil transformation, it is best to plant some plants such as tall fescue and cosmos to stabilize the soil matrix, and then Then use soybeans, alfalfa, and rye grass to maintain the soil."
"Researcher Zhuang Bingchangzhuang, who happened to be involved in our project, is an expert in soybean breeding. He wanted this opportunity."
"Zhuang Bingchang..."
Seeing that Ding Gaoheng had no intention of making a decision first, Luan Wenjie raised his head slightly and made a recollection:
"I seem to have an impression of this name. He seemed to have submitted an application for Shenzhou-1, but at that time we considered Soybean seeds are relatively large in size and weight, so under the same conditions, the priority is lower, and it should be that they were not selected..."
Then he looked at Chang Haonan:
< br>“However, since this is the situation that Mr. Chang said, it meets the conditions that may promote key projects, and it is definitely no problem to increase the priority.”
“Of course this is the case. In principle, we still need to communicate with the chief engineer team responsible for specific tasks, but I will just coordinate. You can just ask Researcher Zhuang to submit another supplementary explanation document to us..."
It was even smoother than Chang Haonan imagined before.
It wasn't until the two of them finished communicating about this matter that Ding Gaoheng, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Chang, you, the main body of the sand-to-earth technology, what I mean is Doesn’t the subject before the transformation have to be sand?”
This somewhat awkward question made Chang Haonan think about it briefly:
“I haven’t counted the others yet, but Theoretically, as long as some basic conditions are met, such as certain restraint and shear resistance, and the climate conditions and water and fertilizer conditions are not too bad, there will be corresponding improvement methods.”
"Well..."
Ding Gaoheng lowered his head and thought, and did not continue to speak.
"Director Ding, what do you mean..."
After a short period of silence, Chang Haonan asked tentatively.
“Oh, just some unconventional ideas.”
Ding Gaoheng then raised his head again:
“I was thinking that after decades or hundreds of years, when we land on extraterrestrial planets, would it be possible to use your technology to farm on extraterrestrial planets? ..."
