In the southwest hinterland, under the clear sky, this ground control base, which covers an area of dozens of acres, stands two huge circular radomes, and under the radome are array antennas, which are responsible for transmitting and receiving signals between the ground and communication satellites, with a diameter of more than 30 meters, which looks very spectacular.

The two huge array antennas alone cost more than $20 million, and the other equipment and the main building, auxiliary rooms, and living rooms were arranged in the two wings, costing almost more than $200 million.

Because the central control room of the main building façade needs to be equipped with constant temperature air conditioning, the humidity requirements are also very strict, and the central control room is made of vibration isolation, sound absorption, and electromagnetic wave shielding treatment, so as not to affect the communication equipment.

In order to ensure the reliability of the power supply of the control base, the base has built a fuel cell power station and a supercapacitor battery storage power station, and there is also local power supply, and the base will switch the power supply immediately after the local power is cut off to ensure that the power supply will not be suddenly interrupted.

When Yang Jie, Song Manli, Huo Xiaotian, Xiao Shu, Hu Huanzhi, Lai Binghui and others entered the base in this fuel cell version of the luxury bus, the senior management of Huaxia Satellite Communications Company and the manager of the base all greeted him.

These bigwigs from the board of directors of the head office are here, and the personnel on the base are all excited and a little nervous.

Yang Jie shook hands with Wang Xiaohua, the base manager in his early forties, and said with a smile: "Manager Wang, the ground base station can ensure that the system can be put into operation in the shortest possible time this time, which is very good. ”

Wang Xiaohua said excitedly: "Chairman Yang, we are also responding to the call of the company and the country, and it is a very honorable thing for everyone to ensure that the ground station system participates in the trial operation of the whole network on time and makes due contributions to the completion of the overall construction of the Starlink network on time." ”

Yang Jie smiled and nodded.

Wang Xiaohua herself is very capable, most of the team she led are newly recruited staff, and many of the equipment is the latest technology, in order to solve these difficulties and contradictions, she arranges technical personnel to move materials and equipment with manufacturers during the day, speed up the construction of system hardware, and organize technical backbones to work overtime at night and weekends to learn the principles of new system technology and control difficulties, and pay close attention to the construction of talent team while completing the hardware construction.

Carry out sub-system debugging and testing and practical operation drills in stages and modules, timely inspect the quality of system construction, exercise the practical ability of technical backbones, and achieve the results of "not letting talents wait for equipment, nor letting equipment and other talents".

It also ensures that the ground base station can capture the successful activation of the satellite immediately after the satellite is launched into orbit, and it takes a very short time to carry out the networking, debugging and trial operation of these five communication satellites.

Yang Jie is very satisfied with this.

Later, when inspecting the central control room, Huo Xiaotian, who was standing next to Yang Jie, saw that a satellite ground base station was being tested on the screen for large-capacity data transmission, and the rate reached an incomparably amazing 552G!

"it, such a high transfer rate!"

"The capacity of a signal transponder of a satellite can reach 100G when tested on the ground, but now the satellite is more than 300 kilometers in space, and the signal inevitably has an attenuation ......."

Yang Jie said.

"That's a scary result, we're number one in the world now, right?"

Huo Xiaotian asked with his right hand on Yang Jie's shoulder.

"That's natural. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

"Just such a satellite can meet the needs of tens of millions of people to access the Internet at the same time, right?"

Song Manli asked.

"Well, our satellite is equivalent to 20 broadband satellites launched by other companies, which can provide almost 2 trillion Internet bandwidth for 10 million people. ”

Yang Jie said proudly.

"It's no wonder that the Caliph is so concerned about this matter. Huo Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Once the ground control station has completed commissioning and testing in accordance with the established workflow, the ground control station in Hong Kong will be operational and can start providing high-speed Internet access to airlines and trains and ships in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as remote areas at home and abroad. ”

Of course, this is the civilian part, and the military is also extremely concerned about this satellite high-speed communication network, and with such a satellite high-speed communication network, then the military has completely established a set of movable satellite high-speed communication network, which has played the role of a combat effectiveness multiplier for the military.

Moreover, Starlink-1 uses W-band communication transmission technology, and there is very little research on waveform and coding technology in this regard, at least at this stage, there is no way to interfere.

Tomorrow, Zhang Haiping and the military bigwigs will come over, and Yang Jie and others will naturally come over in advance.

After Yang Jie and others inspected the ground control station in the morning, they also held a meeting in the afternoon.

"The work of the ground control station is very well done, and it can be said that it has broken the record of the fastest domestic ground control station from construction to operation,"

Yang Jie looked at Wang Xiaohua and other technical backbones and said sonorously: "I know that everyone has been working hard for more than a year, and the company and the headquarters have not forgotten these. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua and the others were all overjoyed.

The salary system and R&D management model of Huaxing Satellite Communication Company are all in accordance with Huaxing Group Company, although Huaxia Satellite Communication Company has been burning money until now, but the company's salary treatment for employees is the same as that of Huaxing Group Company.

Huaxing Group company's internal salary is not the highest in China, the highest part is the company's dividends and bonuses, although it is said that after three years of joining the company and outstanding performance can get the dividend qualification, but now Wang Xiaohong's job allowance plus technical allowance and year-end bonus can also get an annual salary of 170,000.

Even if the fresh graduates have been here for two years, the annual salary is basically more than 60,000 yuan, and it can be said that the Huaxia Satellite Communications Company is basically supported by Huaxing Group Company.

The people at the ground control station are also envious of the tens of millions of salaries of the internal staff of other companies under the Huaxing Group Company, but they know that they can only get such high salaries after the Starlink network of Huaxia Satellite Communications Company is put into operation as soon as possible, and many of them are full of energy.

Yang Jie also greeted Wang Xiaohua and others, and any difficulties were solved on the spot, which made everyone's hearts full of warmth and gratitude.

These people all know that the big boss is a young genius, a big man on the top, and he usually can't get in touch with it at all, but now the big boss comes over to care about their work and life, which is really moving.
