Now the satellite launch has long entered the assembly line launch mode, except for manned spaceflight, the launch of all satellites basically follow an assembly line step, responsible for the launch of the enterprise or unit, only responsible for everything in the carrier rocket itself, after formulating the launch plan, after formulating the launch target orbit, the rocket is assembled, fueled, and then the satellite that needs to be launched is loaded into the satellite fairing on the top layer, and the launch is basically almost ready, far from being as cumbersome as before.

Zhang Wenhao prefers to use the launch mode of one arrow and multiple satellites, but the current carrier rocket, although it is theoretically feasible to shoot multiple satellites, but there are very strict requirements for the volume and weight of the satellite and the launch orbit of the satellite, which is not applicable to Dongchen's positioning satellite, so with the current technology, even if the United States launches on behalf of Dongchen, it can only send one arrow and one star to the orbit one by one.

The news that Dongchen's positioning satellite will be launched for the first time at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base has not been deliberately concealed, so the whole world also knows the news that Dongchen is going to build its own positioning system, but no one knows what kind of system the positioning system launched by Dongchen this time, after the satellite is launched in the sky, if Dongchen does not open the terminal, no one can figure out the specific performance of this system.

Zhang Wenhao's plan is to disclose the specific parameters of the Dongchen positioning system to the public after all the satellites have been launched and the whole system has been successfully operated, after all, the launch is a multinational rotation around the world to find a suitable launch window, according to the current trend, Zhang Wenhao can first cover the entire territory of China within a week to build the positioning system, if this time prematurely exposed the parameters of the satellite. I am afraid that Western countries will inevitably be reluctant to continue to launch for Dongchen. But. If they all know how rebellious Dongchen's positioning system is after they have all been launched, even if they regret their intestines, it will have no substantive effect.

Zhang Wenhao went to Jiuquan in person and watched Dongchen's positioning satellite being installed in the satellite fairing, and Dongchen also left a special person to take care of the whole process, after the fairing was closed, no one could open the fairing before launch.

Officer Liu also arrived in Jiuquan. To witness the launch of Dongchen with his own eyes, in addition, to Zhang Wenhao's surprise, his future mother-in-law Nie Minhui actually brought Su Ruoran with her, and many of Dongchen's senior leaders, including Long Xiaoyue and Zhang Wenhao's cousin Zhang Ranran, also came to Jiuquan together.

For the top management of Dongchen, they did not know what was different about the satellite launched by Dongchen this time, but for them, this was the first satellite launched by Dongchen. This can be said to be of great historical significance, after all. The vast majority of enterprises cannot have the opportunity and qualifications to launch a satellite that belongs to them, and Dongchen has to launch as many as 30 satellites at a time, not to mention private enterprises, even if it is any country in the world, it cannot reach such a launch density.

Everyone present was full of excitement and excitement, even Su Ruoran was full of excitement, launching a satellite is undoubtedly another great achievement of Zhang Wenhao, for her, to see her boyfriend do such an unprecedented and unprecedented feat, she is naturally extremely excited in her heart.

Nie Minhui congratulated Zhang Wenhao on the other hand, shook her head and said puzzled: "I really don't understand why you suddenly want to engage in a satellite positioning system, the current function of GPS is already very sufficient, and it is still very popular in the world, even Beidou is much weaker than GPS in the commercial operation market, you spend so much money to build this system, I feel that there is a waste of resources." ”

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "Everyone always feels that the current development of science and technology is very strong, there seems to be no room for progress, everything in front of you seems to be perfect, but the society is always in the process of continuous progress, the seemingly perfect technology, at a certain time will also expose its real drawbacks, people are always not satisfied, which is why science and technology will always move forward." ”

Nie Minhui nodded and smiled, and said: "This is not bad, Aunt Nie, I also very much hope that you can lead a comprehensive innovation again, maybe the future satellite positioning, is no longer an area, but a point, I stand here, you stand opposite me, satellite positioning can clearly position the two of us as two different points, instead of coexisting in a region." ”

Zhang Wenhao said that her future mother-in-law is really discerning about things, and she has almost said that the biggest feature of Dongchen's stereostatic system: amazing accuracy.

Moreover, it is even much higher than what Nie Minhui said, used indoors, the positioning accuracy may be slightly reduced, but, if outdoors, the accuracy of positioning is less than one millimeter, and even if the mobile phone is thrown out, the positioning system can draw an accurate parabola, which is the biggest advantage of stereoscopic navigation, which will definitely shock the world.

The launch time was scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning of the same day, and the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base had to add many guest seats in the launch control center to meet the on-site viewing of Dongchen's members, friends and relatives.

From the huge screen, everyone can see that the rocket has completed the refueling, the fuel tube has been withdrawn, and the Long March-3A carrier rocket on the launch frame is still fixed from both sides of the launch frame at the moment, but twenty minutes before the launch, the fixed frame is disengaged!

The entire rocket stood alone on the launch pad, and the crew began to evacuate, and the launch entered the final countdown stage.

Everyone stared at the screen excitedly, staring intently, not even blinking, and ten minutes later, the launch commander announced that the countdown to the last ten minutes had begun, and everyone's nerves were even tighter.

At this time, Director Liu's mobile phone vibrate, and he hurriedly got up and went out to answer a call.

Two minutes later, Officer Liu returned to the control center, and the first thing he did was to find Zhang Wenhao, and whispered a few words in Zhang Wenhao's ear that made Zhang Wenhao's blood boil.

"I just received the news that Airbus is filing for bankruptcy protection. But. This bankruptcy protection is just a prelude. Europeans want to take advantage of the buffer period of bankruptcy protection to negotiate a merger and share swap with Boeing. ”

Zhang Wenhao was ecstatic in his heart, this is a signal that Airbus can no longer support, however, there is a problem, Airbus is actually trying to find opportunities from Boeing.

The idea of the Europeans is simple, the current Airbus can no longer be sustained, and it will take one more day. It consumes a huge amount of money, and Dongchen has been unable to attack it for a long time, and Airbus has basically lost its survival space, but the Europeans also want to minimize the loss, and all the assets of Airbus are sold to the society, just the price of scrap iron, but the meaning of selling to Boeing is different. Some of Airbus' own unique technologies, its software and hardware, are actually comparable to Boeing. If Boeing can get Airbus's plate, it will be a huge opportunity for Boeing.

For Airbus, everything they have has a certain value only for Boeing, so they hope to be able to sell Airbus to Boeing by way of share replacement, in fact, it is nothing more than that Airbus is merged into Boeing, and then, now Airbus, get a certain share of Boeing, so that although they sold Airbus, they have become shareholders of Boeing, and their losses can be minimized.

This is a dangerous signal for Zhang Wenhao, Raymond's guy, after getting Dongchen's money before, drastically increased production capacity, his cash flow has been almost all invested in expansion, if he is allowed to buy Airbus, he can't do it, even if Airbus market value is 10%, he can't get so much money, but, if the shares are replaced, Raymond can merge Airbus into Boeing without spending a penny and sacrificing only a small part of the shares, if they negotiate, Zhang Wenhao will really lose a lot, Everything that has been painstakingly operated has made a wedding dress for Boeing, which is equivalent to that A and B both open restaurants, A's restaurant is very profitable, and B's hotel has been losing money, but A has taken all his money to invest in another new store, in this case, B wants to sell, A can't afford it, but A and B can solve this problem by merging, B doesn't want his own store, merge his own store into A's two stores, and although B's store can account for at least one-third of the three stores after the merger in terms of capital, But A will definitely not be so kind, maybe give a 10-20% stake, and send B away.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenhao whispered to Director Liu: "Airbus is now looking for a way out, and Raymond will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, if the two of them go to talk, I'm afraid it won't be long before the merger and acquisition can be realized. ”

Officer Liu nodded and said: "The point is that Airbus doesn't know that you have thoughts about them, they think that no one in the world wants them except Boeing now, so they can only find Boeing, a sworn enemy." ”

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "This is easy to say and easy to do, you can help me find a way, secretly meet with the senior management of Airbus and the European Aeronautical Defense Space Company, the place of the meeting cannot be in France, not in Europe, nor in China, we will choose an insensitive third-party country to meet." ”

Secretary Liu opened his mouth and asked, "Where are you going to arrange?" ”

Zhang Wenhao thought for a while and said: "Let's choose Queensland, Australia, both sides must keep an absolute low profile, and must not expose their whereabouts, let alone the intention of the two sides to meet." ”

Director Liu said: "The people of Airbus hate you to death, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't die, so if you ask them to meet, can they agree?" ”

Zhang Wenhao said with a smile: "They are mortal enemies with Boeing, and now they all choose to talk to Boeing about mergers and acquisitions and share replacement, which shows that what they value in their hearts is not backbone, but interests, you tell them that Dongchen can give them a price that Boeing can never afford to give, so they will not refuse." ”

Director Liu nodded and said, "I'll wait a few more minutes, and after the rocket is launched, I will immediately call the ambassador to France and ask him to help convey the information to the senior management of Airbus and the European Aeronautics and Defense Space Company through special channels." ”

"Okay." Zhang Wenhao smiled slightly and said: "As long as we insert before they negotiate, Boeing is unlikely to acquire Airbus, they have no cash, nothing more than a little share, for Europeans, money must be more important, besides, I can even buy them completely at the market price of Airbus before, which means that they have no loss at all, this point, Raymond can't do it, only I can." ”

Director Liu couldn't help laughing and said: "You guy, you are really calculating, okay, I'll help you get this matter done today!" ”

Zhang Wenhao nodded slightly, and he was relieved, at this moment, there were less than five minutes before the launch.

"The last five minutes countdown, all aspects of the report." The commander-in-chief said a word to the communication system.

"The weather is good and you can launch."

"Everything is fine with the launch vehicle, it can be launched."

"The refueling is complete, it is OK, and it is ready for launch."

"The ground test bench is ready for launch."

"Everything is fine with the launch pad and it can be launched."

"Everything is fine in the control center and it is ready to launch."

Everything was in order, and the clock was ticking down to the last minute.

Including Zhang Wenhao, everyone waited with bated breath for the moment when the ignition was launched, thirty seconds, twenty seconds.

The launch commander spoke: "Attention all departments, enter the ten-second countdown!" ”

"Ten, nine, eight, seven!"

"Four, three, two, one, zero, launch!"

On the big screen, a thick tongue of fire has emerged from the bottom of the launch vehicle, the rocket slowly rises, gradually detaching from the launch pad, and the follow-up camera also tracks all the way, following the rocket all the way up.

Subsequently, the rocket began to carry out the first attitude adjustment, the second attitude adjustment, the booster rocket detachment, the first stage rocket detachment, and the second stage rocket detachment

The ground monitoring station on the rocket launch route is also constantly tracking the satellite, and everything is very normal for the rocket.

After a long time, the last stage of the Long March-3A rocket ignited, and the satellite was put into the predetermined orbit in one go, and then the satellite fairing was detached and the satellite was put into orbit.

The commander-in-chief said excitedly: "The launch mission was a complete success! ”

Yes, a complete success! The scene erupted in cheers, and the rest was Dongchen's own business.

Xiao Er uses the ground equipment of the remote connection to Jiangcheng to control the satellite in real time, and the satellite enters the orbit, turns on the solar panel, enters the working state, and runs perfectly! (To be continued.) )
