Chapter 967 Ocean One project, upgrade!
This photo of Chang Haonan directly derailed the entire meeting and even the direction of the entire Ocean One project.
Before he could finish all the rest of his speech, Space Administration Director Luan Wenjie immediately stopped the report meeting.
Originally, Ocean One was just a practical project jointly participated by the military and civilians and aimed at verifying basic technologies.
No one even expected it to perform any specific functions.
The real highlight lies in the launch of the second batch of ocean series satellites after these verification technologies have been implemented respectively.
Therefore, even though the topic of Haiyang-1 has been discussed many times at the level of the Science and Technology Commission, the real long-term leaders of the project have always been the National Oceanic Administration and the National Space Administration, two vice-ministerial countries. bureau.
But it is enough to see from this that this project is a focus but the specific level is not high.
The key is its potential.
However, no one expected that the potential that was originally planned to be redeemed in the next ten years was suddenly advanced today.
In other words, based on the algorithm designed by Chang Haonan, if China currently has enough human, material and financial resources to directly build a network of more than 20 ocean remote sensing satellites, it will be able to immediately lock US aircraft carriers on a global scale. Location target too.
But here’s the problem.
A bit early.
Whether in terms of intentions or capabilities, China has no immediate plans to break up with the Americans.
If we don’t have suitable strike means at hand, what if we can locate the location of the US aircraft carrier?
Furthermore, after a huge black swan incident, the opponent's attention was finally drawn to the Middle East. In the next period of time, the main focus will be on stealing development.
There is no need to impose too much unnecessary stimulation on Americans.
Therefore, the content of today's meeting, as well as the entire situation of Ocean One, must be kept confidential -
referring to a higher degree of confidentiality.
In fact, Americans have always been wary of China's attempts to establish a space-based ocean remote sensing system.
The difficulties that Ocean One encountered in terms of hardware before were caused by the other party's hindrance.
Otherwise, it should have been launched half a year earlier.
But there is a difference between vigilance and vigilance.
Let’s make an analogy.
In the past, when I found out that China wanted to acquire the Haiyang-1 satellite, I thought it was just "someone hiding weapons and armor."
It's something big or small.
Especially Huaxia is not a soft persimmon, and it is impossible to break up over such a thing.
However, if the other side discovers this set of image segmentation and positioning technology, it will be equivalent to hearing that someone ate a note from the belly of a fish, and that someone dug out a piece of paper from the river. I heard that someone wrote a poem about the stone man with only one eye, "Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night, and the emperor's star flutters high"...
In short, the nature is definitely completely different.
Of course, since Chang Haonan chose to speak out today, he also recognized that the occasion was not large and the participants were not low-level.
Most of them are SpaceKou insiders.
There are only two other navy leaders. As for the State Oceanic Administration, the only person in charge is Wang Shuguang himself.
So, the main change lies in the changes in follow-up work.
“Director Shuguang.”
After Luan Wenjie hesitated for a moment, he looked at Wang Shuguang, who was presiding over the meeting with him:
"In this current situation... I think, should we tighten the specific scope of information about Ocean One... including subsequent models of the entire Ocean series satellites?"
After all, the ownership of Ocean One is on paper. The State Oceanic Administration, therefore any policy changes must be decided by the two of them together.
Wang Shuguang was not originally from a military unit, but this time he was completely involved.
Now that I was suddenly asked such a serious question, how could I possibly have a negative opinion? Naturally, I nodded at the speed of light:
“I agree with Director Wenjie’s opinion.”
In addition to being the head of the National Space Administration, Luan Wenjie is also one of the deputy directors of the Science and Technology Commission.
Although the two positions have the same level, it is obviously better to say the latter.
"Ocean One involves the specific situation of ocean remote sensing. Currently, I am the only one in the Ocean Bureau who fully understands it."
After a slight pause, Wang Shuguang continued:
"In addition, I think that based on the current situation, the military value of Haiyang-1 has far exceeded the value of marine scientific research. Is it possible to consider transferring the ownership of the satellite to the Navy...or to the Remote Sensing Center, our Ocean Bureau? As long as you can share some of the non-sensitive data..."
As a department leader, this is the first time in his career that he has actively pushed the resources in his hands outwards.
Because of the Haiyang-1 satellite, for Wang Shuguang and even the entire Ocean Administration, it has changed from a sweet potato to a hot potato——
It’s too scary.
How is it that one minute I was identifying a few small squares that were harmless to humans and animals, and the next minute I was targeting an aircraft carrier?
Isn’t this what we promised before?
Isn’t it okay if I don’t serve you anymore?
The result...it really didn’t work.
Luan Wenjie shook his head decisively:
"Director Shuguang, do you think that at this juncture before the launch of the satellite, something as big as an apparent change of ownership suddenly occurs? Isn’t it true that there are three hundred taels of silver here, so tell others that there is a big problem with this satellite?”
"Moreover, not only this one, but also the subsequent ocean series satellites will be launched in the name of the Ocean Administration. After all, at least on the surface, our country is opposed to the militarization of space resources..."
He said more Said, Wang Shuguang's face became paler.
The latter also knew that today he was on a pirate ship.
If you think about it further, it may be a bit difficult.
I had to sigh and nodded dejectedly.
"But... don't be too nervous."
Looking at Wang Shuguang, who was a little unsure, Luan Wenjie said half-comforting and half-jokingly:
"The specific operation of the satellite must be done by The Remote Sensing Center will be responsible. You just need to sign when necessary and don't disclose the relevant information to others..."
"Of course, of course"
Wang Shuguang wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead:
"We should cooperate with the work of brother departments..."
...
"Comrade Haonan."
After barely appeasing Wang Shuguang's mood, Luan Wenjie finally turned to Chang Haonan, who had just returned to his seat from the podium:
“After I return, I will write a specific report to the superior leaders. By then, the level of direct responsibility for the Ocean One project will likely be further improved. ”
"According to the original plan, your Torch Group should only be responsible for cooperating with the Fifth Academy to complete the design of the spaceborne software program, subsequent software injection, and ground program design and maintenance. Other departments will be responsible for completing it."
"But now the situation has changed. The space agency hopes to carry out long-term cooperation with Torch Group in the Ocean Series Satellite Project. I wonder, Comrade Haonan, what do you think?"
Although it is soliciting Chang Hao Nan's opinion, but in fact, the answer is obvious to both.
Chang Haonan originally wanted to obtain more research resources through Ocean One.
Even if all these resources are not given directly to him, they will have many benefits for future plans.
For example, the simplest one -
Now that the ocean surveillance system has been established, wouldn't it be logical to develop a weapon and equipment that can accurately strike enemy large water targets thousands of kilometers away?
This does not include the role that contour segmentation and image recognition technology may play in other fields.
Therefore, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.
“No problem.”
Chang Haonan replied almost without thinking:
"The algorithm and software parts can be left to our group and the comrades of the Fifth Aerospace Academy."
"However."
Before Luan Wenjie responded, Chang Haonan changed the subject again:
“I have a small request, and I hope Director Luan can agree.”
The former had an "I knew you still had a hand" look on his face, gesturing for him to continue.
Chang Haonan was not polite and immediately said:
"I have just mentioned that the current contour segmentation algorithm is still in a relatively early stage and can only simply identify the background. area, and at most one target area."
"When it comes to multiple targets, and targets with less distinctive features, the effect will be compromised."
"So, before we do this. A pre-research group has been established to segment and identify multi-phase, that is, multi-target images, and has achieved some theoretical results. ”
"Look...can we take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade the project level of Ocean One to change our pre-research project to a regular one?"
After hearing this request, Luan Wenjie did not immediately give an answer. , but stared at Chang Haonan for a while.
"Comrade Haonan, I have to tell you in advance."
He had already heard about Chang Haonan's "scheming" from Ding Gaoheng and did not dare to do so. Take it lightly:
“Even if the level of responsibility for Ocean One is raised, the funding is unlikely to increase sharply in a short period of time, so you can’t arrange for me to have a gold-eating beast come in... Then even if I I can’t even support myself if I sell my old bones..."
"Director Luan, you know me."
Chang Haonan made a frank look:
"In terms of fund utilization, I say second, then I guess no one I dare to say it is the first.”
“As for this new project team...in fact, you don’t need to allocate too much money. You just need to give priority to supercomputing resources and tilt it a little bit in terms of satellite loads. It’s..."
