Chapter 1089 That's a satellite
Not to mention Jing Jian's stunned here, the aerospace delegation ...... Ahem, let's count it as a delegation! They were also very surprised.
At present, China's aerospace industry is still in a period of technological accumulation. However, the conditions in this period were particularly difficult, and there was a shortage of talents, and there was a saying that has been handed down to the present day in terms of treatment - those who build rockets are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs. As a result, some islanders even thought that the mainland people could not afford to eat tea eggs. And the space budget is also cut again and again, and everything is to escort the economy.
So astronauts began to find their own way out and join the international commercial satellite launch market.
Don't say it, it's a good time. The United States has temporarily halted the rocket program and is fully committed to supporting the space shuttle.
On the one hand, Russia is having a headache for its own cosmodrome, because their most important Baikonur cosmodrome is actually in Kazakhstan, and now it has gone to foreign countries? On the other hand, the disintegration of the former Soviet Union has caused Russia's space industry to also fall into chaos. Don't forget, there are still astronauts on the Soviet Union's peaceful space station. And those astronauts inexplicably stayed in space for more than a year, but there was no spacecraft to take them home. Later, they were finally brought back to Earth. These cosmonauts were Heroes of the Soviet Union when they went to space, and when they landed, they became citizens of Russia? I wonder if they will shout in their hearts: MMP!
As for the European Space Agency's Ariane rocket, on the one hand, it should be used as a backup vehicle for the space stations of the United States and the former Soviet Union, and on the other hand, it must ensure the launch of commercial satellites of EU countries.
On the contrary, China's Long March series rockets are relatively cheap and good quality in the international market. Therefore, during this period, it was the golden period of commercial launches of China's aerospace industry.
However, no matter how golden it is, those must be foreign customers, and there will be intergovernmental consultations. This is to put satellites, not two kicks.
And Song Sheng just passed on a sentence, and it was impossible to explain it very clearly. The space agency is a big deal here. And they have already arrived in the capital, and they seem to be quite sincere, so we must also pay attention to it?
But when I got here, when I asked the front desk lady, the front desk lady was confused. I quietly inquired about the surrounding employees, and those employees were also confused. Why are we going to launch a satellite all of a sudden? This is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. You guys aren't here to joke, are you?
And Jing Jian was even more whimsical there. He didn't have any internal discussions, he just thought of it and did it, so the outside employees basically didn't know about it.
Fortunately, they were welcomed in by a beautiful young woman. However, Cao Haiyan, who greeted her, was also confused. Why is that man nervous again? Bragging that he was going to launch a satellite, he actually summoned a delegation from the space agency?
After seeing Jing Jian, the people from the space bureau were also very puzzled. Why is it a young man? And he's alone? It's too casual, isn't it? It's a sudden fuss, you won't meet a liar, right?
Don't say it, this period is the barbaric growth period of the market economy, and there are often swindlers who throw out some amazing words, which are not shocking and endless, and they also have a great impact on society.
Let's not talk about water turning into oil or something. And what about using a nuclear bomb to make a hole in the Himalayas? Giving a channel to the warm currents of the Indian Ocean and turning the deserts of the frontier provinces into the south of the Saiwai River?
Good guys, even the nuclear bomb has come out, and you are still using this project to illegally raise funds in society? So what is the purpose of launching a satellite? At least it hasn't been so aggressive -- preparing to sell the earth's native products to aliens and use Long March rockets to carry out space trade?
But since they're all here, let's talk!
The leader of the team is named Lu Jie. After accepting each other's self-acceptance, he asked, "Boss Jing, we heard that you are planning to launch an artificial satellite here? Do you have any specific requirements? Sorry, can you be more detailed, what is the use of that?"
"Director Lu, I am going to use the data link transmission in our company. I don't know much about the specific performance, after all, I'm not an expert in satellites. But I'm here to say what our company needs to achieve, and you'd better be able to recommend a few suitable models. ”
"Data link transmission?" an expert on the side asked, "Boss Jing......"
"It is so polite. You can call me Xiao Jing. ”
"That'...... Let's call you Mr. Jing! Mr. Jing, do you want to transmit a graphic signal or any other signal? Are there any other functions?"
"What I needed was simple. I want to build a nationwide distribution logistics system. Compare a similar situation, like the freight system of the Ministry of Railways. Of course, I don't have that much money, but there are just as many goods involved, and there are also many warehouses and transport vehicles. You should all know that the following data needs to be summarized to the main station, and then the main station will be dispatched. This involves a lot of data processing. And those satellites are used to transmit that data. ”
"That should be a communications relay satellite?"
"That's pretty much it. I need it to be civilian-grade. It shouldn't be that complicated, so I'd like to hear your quote first. ”
"I'm sorry. A bespectacled, seemingly political cadre, asked, "Mr. Jing, if that's really the case, you really need a communication relay satellite." But can your company use such a large data stream? In the example you just cited, even the Ministry of Railways did not think of using satellites. ”
"The Ministry of Railways has its own internal communication lines, which cover the whole country through railway lines. But I don't have it here? Unless telecom immediately builds a nationwide base station. Then our company will be able to use the civil telecommunications network. But it is certainly not possible to achieve it in a short period of time. And our company is in a period of rapid development. Time is not waiting for me, we must seize the next ten or eight years. And by that time, the service life of the satellite should have expired, right? Our company will switch to a civilian communication network, which happens to achieve seamless docking. ”
The political cadre was still a little puzzled: "Mr. Jing, I can personally accept your explanation." But we want to know, do you have that much datalink need right now? It's not cheap to launch a satellite. And can you provide some information about your company? Not only do we need it, but our superiors also need to approve it. ”
Jing Jian suddenly realized at this time. He has always held an ordinary business mentality, and he is also talking about business with a normal attitude. But other people are really a little difficult to accept, that's a satellite!
