Otron's voice was not deliberately hidden, so not only Elena and Quinn, but also other media reporters around heard it clearly, so they all gathered around, and even more anxious opened their mouths and asked: "Hi~~ Otrien, can you tell me about the specific situation, don't worry, if the news is strong, I am willing to pay you 50 dollars." ”

"You'd better stay at the bar for an extra glass of whiskey!" Otrine replied with a smile, and without further ado, he told him what he had learned from an anonymous source inside Motorola.

When Elena and Quinn and the others heard this, their eyes became bright, and they didn't expect it to be due to the weather, but some cautious people expressed doubts and said hesitantly: "I think the specific situation should be subject to the official statement of the West Field Launch Center, after all, China has been operating here for many years, and the climate must know better than others." ”

"I don't think so. As soon as the questioner's voice fell, Elena objected without hesitation: "As we all know, the United States is the country with the largest technological level in the world, not to mention others, the United States currently has as many as 12 meteorological satellites in orbit, of which 6 are geostationary orbit satellites, which can provide meteorological forecasts in any region of the world at any time, with an accuracy rate of nearly 100%, does China have it?"

As a media reporter who switched to the aerospace field, although there is no expert-level level, most of them are not novices, and even some senior reporters themselves have a postgraduate degree in the aerospace field, and they are very clear about the role of meteorological satellites in weather forecasting.

As a well-deserved hegemon in the field of aerospace, the United States naturally leads the world in this regard, and because of this, the United States has become the only country in the world that can accurately forecast accurate meteorological conditions in any region of the world.

This is quite significant for the United States to help it dominate the world.

If nothing else, let's just talk about the Gulf War a few years ago, followed by Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Saber on the ground, when a huge sandstorm on the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq that had not been seen for many years.

With years of experience, the Iraqi defenders believed that it would be impossible for the US military to launch an offensive in such weather conditions, because the wind direction of such sandstorms was changeable, and it was easy for the attacking side to suffer.

As a result, the US military not only carried out the attack, but also used the wind to borrow the fire, and the fire borrowed the wind to push and wither, and directly defeated the Iraqis.

The reason why the US military dared to be so bold was because of the accurate forecast of the sandstorm by their meteorological satellites in orbit, and finally determined that the wind direction was the most powerful US attack, so they did not hesitate to take action, and finally established the hegemony of the United States in the post-Cold War era in World War I.

In contrast, China does not have no meteorological satellites, but there is a fault stage of green and yellow, and two meteorological satellites, Fengyun-1A and Fengyun-1B, were launched in 1988 and 1990.

It is a pity that the service life of the two satellites is only a short period of one year, according to the plan of the space department, a Fengyun 2 satellite will be launched in the middle of next year, but before that, it can only rent foreign commercial satellites to make weather forecasts.

Foreign satellites can only provide a general outline of meteorological trends, and they also need auxiliary means such as ground monitoring stations and sounding balloons to make accurate predictions.

However, the practice of human beings for many years has shown that the detection methods on the ground cannot get a glimpse of the ever-changing rhythm of nature, otherwise why would humans launch meteorological satellites?

Therefore, the error rate of this kind of meteorological forecast is very high, especially in the field of high weather requirements such as space launches, and if it is a little worse, the window period may be missed, which will cause serious losses.

This is also why, aerospace is a large toy that can only be played by a capable big country, and it is really a test of this thing not only high-end manufacturing, but also perfect peripheral support.

It's like an expensive Barbie doll, what can a doll with light waves have? At the very least, it needs to be matched with clothes and shoes to be considered a whole, and if you want to be brilliant, you need to match a few more sets, and then the scene, furniture, and care......

Something completely bottomless.

Obviously, China surpasses the vast majority of countries in this regard, but compared with the United States, it is not even qualified to call Dad, and the reporters present are not flexible people, and after a little thought, they know that this time the Tengfei Group launched the pill.

So the fast one immediately took out the satellite phone, and the slightly slow one hurriedly considered the wording.

All in all, there is one count, and they are all ready to send this exciting news back, even if they don't fight for the first place, they must be brilliant.

Among them, the news reported by Elena of Sky TV in the United Kingdom is the most alarmist, bluntly saying that this failure will bankrupt the Tengfei Group and deal a heavy blow to China's aerospace, which shows how ridiculous it is for a technologically immature developing country to undertake such a high-tech commercial business, and then commented in a commanding tone:

"I would like to make a heartfelt suggestion to a high-minded manufacturer like Tengfei Group, that is, to do your own thing first, although swan meat is good, it is not something you can eat if you want to. ”

Unlike in the 80s, when communication equipment was not well developed, and reporters had urgent manuscripts that could only be forwarded by telegram, now in the mid-90s, satellite telephones have become popular, and the live news broadcast of CNN and other radio and television stations in the United States has sprung up during the Gulf War, resulting in the rapid dissemination of news today.

Less than half an hour after the foreign media reporters in China's Xichang sent out their scripts, the television media in Europe and the United States had already inserted the text news of the launch failure of the Tengfei Group in their programs.

After an hour, the in-depth comments began to dominate the screen.

An hour and a half later, feature stories began to appear.

Two hours later, a strong tide of public opinion swept all over the country.

What Tengfei Group is at the end of the road.

What Chinese space technology is backward.

What kind of aviation enterprise is doomed to failure in cross-field aerospace.

......

All in all, China's space technology is unreliable and immature, and it simply cannot afford to undertake commercial space launch missions for other countries.

"It seems that we have moved someone else's cake!"

Zhuang Jianye learned about the foreign media reports as soon as possible, took a hasty glance, pouted and smiled, threw aside the media report materials in his hand, and immediately got up from the sofa and walked out of the smoky conference room.

As soon as he went out, a burst of flashing lights almost blinded Zhuang Jianye's titanium alloy dog eyes, but fortunately he brought sunglasses in advance, otherwise four or five bottles of eye drops may not be enough.

Then before Zhuang Jianye could adapt to such a big media battle, Elena of Sky TV in the United Kingdom had already begun to make trouble: "Mr. Zhuang, what do you say about the failure of Tengfei Group's launch?"

"Comment?" Zhuang Jianye smiled, his face turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to Elena: "Fake News!"

Immediately beckoned, the two Tengfei Group staff behind him immediately lifted out a large-size display screen, after turning on the power, immediately showed a dynamic display of clouds over the West Field, Zhuang Jianye did not talk nonsense, took off his glasses and pointed to the image on the screen and said: "According to the real-time meteorological data provided by the Thunderbolt-120 long endurance UAV produced by our Tengfei Group, after one hour and fifteen minutes, there will be 50 minutes of ordinary clouds over the West Field, so our Chang Si rocket will be launched normally in an hour and a half." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but Otrien grasped another important point and asked: "Mr. Zhuang, you said that the Thunderbolt-120 is a long-endurance drone, so how long is this long-endurance?" ”

Zhuang Jianye smiled slightly and gave a surprising answer: "Since the thunderbolt is 120, it naturally means that the battery life is 120 hours." ”
