Chapter 902: Technology Gap!
Yang Jie has invested tens of billions of dollars in the Starlink network plan over the years, and he is still investing, and the amount of capital investment has exceeded the previous Motorola Iridium plan and Bill Gates's telecommunication plan.
After investing $5 billion in construction, the Iridium program was eventually declared bankrupt in 1999, and the telecommunications program was scheduled to shut down in 2002 after spending more than $9 billion in investment.
The Starlink project was basically started at the same time as the closure of these two plans, and it has been under construction for more than five years now, bringing together top talents in the field of Motorola and domestic aerospace, and tens of thousands of engineers have joined the project now.
Because of the blessing of a reborn person like Yang Jie, Huaxing Group has broken through microwave communication technology in a short period of time, so it has developed a high-throughput communication satellite, and this is also one of the most critical reasons for the success of the Starlink network.
The previous Iridium program was in a state of incompatibility between low-orbit satellite communications and ground communication operators, and the communication capacity could not catch up with the development speed of mobile phone terminals in terrestrial networks. Satellite launches can be carried out at a high cost, so the voice communication services provided by satellite operators are extremely expensive, and only valuable in special environments such as ocean cruises, it is difficult to attract more paying users, and it is not possible to benefit the population in areas without network coverage.
After Yang Jie was reborn, his company's scientific research team worked hard to develop microwave communication technology, which has become a strong force in the world, and this set of technology is not feasible to be directly applied to terrestrial networks, because various countries and telecommunications giants will not give up their vested interests.
It is precisely knowing this truth that he quickly established this Starlink network with the support of the domestic military, and launched 80 satellites in just two years, including several Skylink-1 relay satellites.
Moreover, Huaxing Group has its own maritime satellite launch company, which is still launching satellites, and the rocket recovery technology is adopted, which greatly reduces the launch cost, and now the cost of each launch has dropped to less than 40 million US dollars.
Huaxing Group has opened up the whole industrial chain from satellite design, manufacturing and production to rocket design, manufacturing and launch to satellite network operation and the design, manufacturing and production of ground terminal equipment, which is very powerful.
Moreover, Huaxing Group has quickly opened up the domestic civil aviation and railway transportation and Hainan Airlines and home satellite broadband markets, and also opened up overseas markets, and has achieved very good returns.
In other words, in a few years, all the money that Yang Jie invested before can be recovered.
Now Boeing has also put forward a plan to build high-speed communication satellite broadband, which is obviously aimed at the Starlink network of Huaxing Group.
But at this stage, it is very difficult to build a satellite broadband network as powerful as the Starlink network, except for Huaxing Group, no company has been able to develop such a large-capacity microwave communication satellite, and another is to build such a huge satellite network at least tens of billions of dollars, this game even these developed countries can not afford to play, let alone those small countries.
"Space Internet" is the existence of a top technology company to show off its skills, an absolute high-risk and high-tech complex.
Now Huaxing Group has taken the lead in building a satellite broadband network platform, which also proves that this company has become the world's top technology company.
Over the years, Yang Jie has invested all the money he has earned in the field of aerospace technology, thanks to Huaxing Group Company every year to earn him a lot of money, and the technology generated by investment in the aerospace field has begun to spread to all the product technology of Huaxing Group, bringing a virtuous circle.
The point is that the Starlink network has now started to make money, and it is still making a lot of money.
Seeing that Huaxing Group began to make money on the satellite broadband network, these giant European companies couldn't sit still, and they all wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie.
Huaxing Group has obtained satellite frequency band resources and orbit resources from the International Telecommunication Union, and other countries have no choice but to look at it, after all, these satellite channel resources have always been first-come, first-served.
In the last century, the giants made various efforts and invested hundreds of billions of dollars to fail to pry the industrial threshold, which was unexpectedly crossed by a high-tech enterprise company from Rabbit China.
When the members of the delegation experienced the wireless Wi-Fi network on the high-speed train for themselves, they were full of emotion.
The European Satellite Communications Company itself also has the construction of satellite communication network, and also provides technical products in the fields of aviation, railway transportation, and HNA, but it is impossible to achieve such large-capacity data transmission.
In the afternoon, the delegation also visited the production line of China Fokker Company, and the president of Airbus Group, Enders, saw a large number of robots on the production line and the exoskeleton robots worn by technicians, and his eyes lit up, and he asked Yang Jie a lot of technical questions about exoskeleton robots.
"Mr. Yang, you are such a genius!"
Enders also said with admiration after learning that the original prototype of these exoskeleton robots was designed and developed by Yang Jie.
"It's all a little carving insect skill, not enough to worry about. ”
Yang Jie said with a smile, he naturally wouldn't tell Enders that he developed this exoskeleton robot to help Tanya rehabilitate.
At present, the robotics laboratory of Meixihu University has developed a variety of exoskeleton robots on the basis of Yang Jie's exoskeleton robots, which have been used in troops, hospitals, factories and other fields.
Now, the employees of Zhonghua Fokker can easily carry some heavy objects without causing tendon strain after wearing the exoskeleton robot, and at the same time, they can use some equipment to lift above their heads to work, so that workers will not feel very tired after work.
A set of exoskeleton equipment like this can allow the staff to clearly grasp and lift a 120-kilogram heavy object or the equipment can work for a long time, which not only protects the safety of the workers but also greatly improves the efficiency.
The Robotics Laboratory of Meixihu University has been continuously developing exoskeleton robot technology, and now it has launched the second generation of exoskeleton robots.
Enders was very interested in this exoskeleton robot and said to Yang Jie: "Mr. Yang, can your company provide us with hundreds of such exoskeleton robots?"
Yang Jie didn't expect to inadvertently let the exoskeleton robot achieve an exit, he said with a smile: "Of course you can." ”
