Chapter 543: I Can't Ask for It

Tianyan X1 meteorological observation satellite. As the name suggests, it will be used in meteorological observations, disaster warnings, and other fields. However, due to the use of large-area array detectors, large-scale reflecting telescope systems, adaptive optical imaging technology, real-time image transmission and other technologies, the camera with an aperture of 2 meters placed at the near-earth end of the satellite has an observation resolution of up to 0.1 meters.

Military remote sensing satellites and civilian remote sensing satellites are no different in principle, and the main differences are reflected in the differences in the spectral bands used by satellites and the requirements for ground resolution. Military remote sensing satellites mainly image in the visible or near-infrared spectral range, with a resolution of better than 1 meter.

The Tianyan X1 meteorological observation satellite has undoubtedly reached the level of a military satellite. It stands to reason that U.N. observers would ask to check whether the satellite was consistent with the declared project, but because these people did not believe that the new country would be able to launch successfully, they did not mention the inspection.

Of course, even if they brought it up, Jiang Chen's side could refuse. It's just that in this way, the Philippines will definitely have to take the opportunity to hype up, such as the military satellites launched by the new country, which are used for unspeakable secret clouds.

Looking at the plume of smoke in the sky, Henry's Adam's apple slid up and down for a long time before closing his mouth.

"It really worked...... Is it?"

He naturally heard the cheers just now, but he was unwilling to accept this unbelievable fact.

There is no need for a three-stage rocket? Just use a two-stage rocket to put a satellite into orbit? Technically, it's not impossible, but have they considered the cost? The extra weight of the load requires more fuel...... Wait, the volume of their rockets is not very large. The total length is about 33 meters. It's unbelievable!

However, no one paid attention to him at this time, Jiang Chen went to the outside of the launch center to be interviewed by the media, and Kerrwin commanded the staff sitting in front of the computer. Perform operations such as turning on solar panels, checking the working status of satellites, and collecting first-hand weather receipts.

"In the future, the weather forecast of the new country can be completed by the new country's own meteorological satellites. Thanks to ESamp Australia; Company S has been providing the weather forecast, thank you. ”

The light flickered, and Jiang Chen was almost used to the feeling of being pointed at by the camera.

"May I ask Mr. Jiang Chen, what prompted you to invest in the aerospace field?"

"There is still a prospect of interest. Jiang Chen stretched out a finger, pointed to the place where the rocket had just flown over, and smiled in front of the camera. "The future of humanity is there. ”

If an ordinary person said this, he would definitely be ridiculed for pretending. But because this phrase came from the mouth of a tech tycoon, it has the honor of being remembered as a famous quote.

In such an interview. Jiang Chen couldn't help but think about it in his mind. If one day, the warp trade really completes the blueprint in his mind, and the human space of activity will move from the land to the sky, and then to the synchronous orbit, the moon, and even Mars, beyond the solar system. Will anyone remember this moment today as the starting point of everything?

He pointed to the sky. Will the gesture of saying "the future of mankind is there" be cast into a statue in bronze and displayed in the Museum of Earth Civilization?

After the interview, Jiang Chen sent off the UN observers from New York, and Jiang Chen did not leave the island immediately, but found Kerrwin, who had just completed the launch mission. After only a few moments, I saw that these technicians had already opened the prepared champagne and started the party in the canteen of the Aerospace Science and Technology Center.

Champagne foam sprayed everywhere. Although it is not a holiday, it is quite festive like a festival.

Meet Jiang Chen. Kerrwin's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up two bottles of champagne and greeted him.

"Haha, boss, you need to have a drink today before you leave. ”

"Yes, yes, this is our first rocket! Did you notice the observer's face? Haha, it was like eating a fly. ”

"It's really relieving, hahahaha!"

The atmosphere was different, thinking that there would be no reservations for a while anyway, Jiang Chen smiled and took the champagne from Kerrwin's hand, bit the cap, and blew directly on the bottle.

Seeing that the boss was so able to drink, the lively guy on the side whistled, clapped his hands and applauded. Few and rare animals are like female employees also looking at this, their actions are quite reserved, but their ability to applaud and coax is not inferior to that of their male compatriots. Seeing that the boss killed the bottle one by one, Kirwin did not show weakness. The unshaven technician didn't look like he could drink, but he didn't think he was drinking well.

There's no wine table here, it's just a group of technicians celebrating their achievements. The equipment and parts were "bought" by Transwarp Trade, but the entire rocket was assembled by their own hands, like their children.

By the time the boys had had enough, it would not be early outside. Their homes are on the island of Anga, which is relatively close to here, and they are transported to and from work by regular ships every day, and only a few choose to live in the island's staff dormitories. For example, Kerrwin, who can't wait to sleep in the laboratory, such as employees who apply for overtime.

After cleaning up the messy canteen, the celebration banquet is over. Watching the shoulder-to-shoulder boys get on the boat, Jiang Chen found Kerryn, who was about to return to the dormitory.

"Today's launch work was good. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Smiling, Kerryn sighed, "That said, the design of that rocket, from beginning to end, doesn't seem to have anything to do with us." ”

"Don't think so," Jiang Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You guys just have a higher starting point, I have already handed over the relevant technologies to you, and I am looking forward to you using these technologies to design rockets with stronger performance than it!"

When it comes to technology, the two worlds are not equal. But when it comes to creativity and imagination, there is no difference between people in the two worlds. Aerospace is a frontier field full of imagination, and with the same technology, the rockets he designed are not necessarily inferior to Jiang Lin's masterpieces.

Provided, of course, that he has to put in more effort.

"Well, I promise. Kerwin grinned.

There is no need to commit at all, astronautics itself is his dream. Jiang Chen provided him with the technology and platform, and he had no doubt that he would be able to turn this dream into reality.

"Today's launch mission was a success, and it's all thanks to you technicians. As a token of encouragement, I will contact finance to give you a $2 million bonus. Half of it is yours, and the other half is you watch it go down. ”

"You should have said it at the celebration party, and those lads might lift you up to heaven. Kerrwin teased.

He wasn't short of money, and when Jiang Chen bought his company at a premium, he had already earned $10 million.

"Hahahaha, that's a pity. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

After a pause, he looked at Kirwin and said seriously.

"In the first half of next year, you are expected to have 12 rocket launch missions, which may be busy, and I hope you are prepared. ”

"An average of two rockets a month?" said Kerrwin.

Launching rockets is no joke, although they have also mastered the first-stage rocket recovery technology, but the launch cost of the Star Ring 1 rocket just now must be more than 50 million US dollars.

"Scared?" Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"On the contrary, I can't ask for it. Kerrwin responded positively to Jiang Chen's agitation, with an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Just kidding, the biggest concern for the space sector is the low profit of commercial launch missions and the lack of budget. Jiang Chen's words undoubtedly dispelled the concerns in his heart, and there was sufficient financial support, not to mention 12 rocket launch missions. Even if that number doubles again, he won't blink an eye!(To be continued.) )
