Lu Zixin nodded and said, "After that, we will send the orbital data of the test satellite, and I hope that we can cooperate happily." ”

"You can rest assured that rocket launch is no less flawed than other industries. What's more, it is the first time that our company has received such a large number of orders, and we will definitely do our best to complete the launch target!" Zeng Rui assured.

Hongxin's batch of launch orders can be said to be rare in the world. The cost of a rocket launch is hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars. Since their recyclable rocket technology is not yet mature, the cost of each launch is directly cumulative.

Even the most basic 48 small satellites cost nearly 5 billion to launch, which is still not a problem. If the number of satellites continues to increase, the cost and number of rockets launched will continue to rise.

In fact, Lu Zixin really wanted Hongxin to also study rocket technology, if he could create an aerospace plane that could carry out space transportation repeatedly, but unfortunately he didn't have the energy at all now.

Hongxin's machinery industry has just reached the stage of researching electric vehicles, and aerospace technology is still far behind. As for the technology of small satellites, in fact, it is mainly mobile communication technology, not mainstream aerospace science and technology.

The development and launch of the Sky Star cannot be completed in a few days. During this period, Hongxin made a simple market adjustment.

The original plan to enter the U.S. market was shelved, and for the time being, it did not seek cooperation with third-party sales platforms in the United States. At the same time, it has not entered the European market, but is consolidating the domestic market and the island country market, and developing the market in East Asia.

In addition, the main research direction of Hongxin Electronic Technology has also shifted to hardware upgrading.

If the 6G communication network is successfully arranged, then some existing hardware and network facilities must be upgraded to adapt to the 6G communication network.

Among them, smart chips are a big key!

In the past, Hongxin used the red core chips by itself, and only the rice company paid a certain patent fee and purchased the red core generation chip from Hongxin.

Other manufacturers of mobile phone products or smart products basically use chips from foreign manufacturers. For example, Qualcomm in the United States, because it has mastered the core technology of 4G network, many domestic mobile phone manufacturers must buy Qualcomm's mobile phone chips.

The use of Qualcomm's chips, you must pay a high patent licensing fee, this cost once reached 5% of the product price, plus hardware costs, adaptation costs, etc., nearly 20% of the price of a mobile phone has been taken by Qualcomm, this proportion is even higher than the manufacturer's own profit from the product!

This is the use of technology to make Huaxia manufacturers become their "workers" and make money for them.

Qualcomm of the United States has an annual revenue of more than $10 billion in the Huaxia market, so Huaxia has also conducted an anti-monopoly investigation on it, but with little success.

In addition to Qualcomm, there are also giants such as Apple and Samsung that charge high patent fees through similar technology monopolies. Manufacturers all over the world can only endure in silence, but if Hongxin launches 6G network and 6G chip, then everything will change!

At that time, not only the telecommunications industry will change, but other mobile phone brands will not apply Hongxin's 6G chip technology, nor can they apply to 6G networks. Therefore, whether it is Qualcomm or Broadcom, or Samsung and Apple, they will have to pay high patent fees to Hongxin to use the red core 6G chip.

......

A month later, at the Microsatellite Engineering Laboratory, the first Sky Star small satellite was built!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, the first one is the most difficult, as long as one is completely successful, then the subsequent satellites can be copied and manufactured.

"This is the Sky Star!" Lu Zixin looked at the small satellite in front of him, it is a standard cube, the maximum side length is no more than three meters, and it carries 6G mobile communication network devices and high-frequency signal transmitters and receivers.

On both sides of the small satellite, the solar panels designed by the Kunpeng Battery Factory are connected to a high-energy-density lithium-air battery specially designed for the satellite, and can also be charged with solar energy, and the battery design life is higher than the service life of the satellite.

The expected lifespan of this Sky Star is 15 years, which is considered a particularly long life among small satellites!

"What are the test results?" Lu Zixin asked.

The R&D staff replied: "Everything is normal for ground testing, and the space operation test has not yet begun." ”

Zhang Qiang replied: "There is no problem with the simulation operation, we are now carrying out the construction of the ground base station and the manufacture of the second Sky Star, and it is expected that a total of three Sky Star test satellites and the main ground signal receiving base station from Beijing to Modu will be completed in half a month." ”

RI-8901's answer Lu Zixin is still relatively reassuring, because it is an industrial robot that receives Skynet data, and the error will be reduced to a minimum.

The satellite manufacturing plan and the launch plan are carried out at the same time, and Aerospace Engineering Co., Ltd. has formulated the latest launch plan based on the orbit and satellite-related data provided by Hongxin.

Twenty-five days later, Huaxia Aerospace Engineering Co., Ltd. will use the latest self-developed commercial launch vehicle to send three Sky Star test satellites to low earth orbit and start the first satellite-ground shrouded sixth-generation mobile communication technology test!

As soon as this news came out, the world's communications industry was all looking sideways! No one expected that it would only be two short months before the Huaxia Ministry of Industry and Information Technology approved the Sky Network plan, and the Sky Star satellite was about to start testing!

This R&D efficiency makes people feel that they are not making satellites, but making handicrafts!

The explanation given by Hongxin Group is that the relevant technology has long been perfected, and it is only in the process of improving the test.

In any case, the eyes of the world are on the three Sky Star test satellites. Once these three satellites are successfully operated, the pattern of the world's communications industry will change!

"Crazy! Are they crazy to conduct the experiment so quickly?" said Gru, who saw the report at AT&T, Ladas, Texas, USA.

If the sixth generation of mobile communication technology is really developed, the first to be impacted is their telecom operators, especially AT&T is still the world's top three telecom operators!

"When we talked about working with Red Letters, they never said that!" Gru said, "This must be a trick to fool people!"

In front of him, Taylor Walker, who was communicating in real time on the Internet, said, "Dear Gru, you don't have to panic. In my opinion, this news is just a fake gesture used by Huaxia to protest. Not long ago, Mr. President just signed a document to increase tariffs on Chinese electronic consumer goods, and they are very dissatisfied with this, so if they want to make a fuss, let's just watch. ”

"Just now I promised the chairman of the committee that if Hongxin could complete the sixth generation of communication technology in such a short time, I would rather become a woman! Hahaha, that's impossible!"
