Chapter 440: "Eagle Eye" in Space
Three minutes later, there was finally a change on the screen, and the words "connecting" became "initializing", seeing this, Xu Ziling's heart was relieved, and he understood that the satellite connection was no problem.
Is the signal able to convert normally? Looking at the interface that is being initialized, he is a little anxious in his heart, but this is a normal startup procedure, and he can only wait honestly if he is in a hurry.
Fortunately, compared with the launch of the satellite itself, the "Eagle Eye" system started much faster, and in less than a minute, the picture on the computer screen flashed, and finally entered the interface.
Because the system is written temporarily, not the official version, the interface is very rough, and the function is relatively single, the main interface of the system is displayed in front of you, there are a few options on it, several of which are still used to test the data, the function is now only scanning and sub-units and satellite communications, as for data sharing, the contact between the sub-units is not yet yet.
Xu Ziling first opened a few test systems, checked all the data, and saw that everything was normal, so he adjusted the projection direction of the "Eagle Eye" signal, which allowed the lion to test the communication function.
"Okay, you don't have to try it with the satellite, I just tried it, it's no problem at all, now try to contact you, can you see if there is a data request in the background? If the data is normal, then as long as the system is perfected, you can make a voice call. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said it, the lion replied that he had already tested the communication connection during the adjustment process.
"You've tested it?" Xu Ziling really didn't expect the lion to move so quickly, but he was also very interested in his idea, and hurriedly opened the background system, "You try." ”
At that time, I was lazy, and the system on the computer did not have the communication function between the units at all, Xu Ziling regretted it a little now, I knew that I was diligent, so I could test the voice now, there was no need to only look at the data in the background like this.
"See!" Less than two seconds after he finished speaking, the background system changed, showing that there was an external signal sending data through the satellite, seeing this, Xu Ziling was happy in his heart, the exchange of data proved that the satellite as a relay station, is completely normal, that shows that his plan is initially fully realized.
"Then let's test the scanning function!"
Hearing that the communication was successful, the lion immediately asked Xu Ziling to start testing another function - scanning!
The scanning function of "Eagle Eye" is a big killer on the fighter or warship, but when it comes to the satellite, Xu Ziling feels that there is a big drawback, that is, the range that can be scanned is too small, it itself is only 700 kilometers of scanning distance, due to the angle of the satellite in space, when the microwave signal is projected to the earth in a fan-like way, the projection surface will be greatly changed, making its scanning range greatly reduced.
This problem, at the beginning of the plan, he ignored it, and only after arriving at the satellite base did he remember that unlike the laser signal, the microwave signal of the "Eagle Eye" is projected in the form of a fan, and its scanning distance is the same, there is a limit, that is, when the microwave signal is projected to the ground, even if the angle is adjusted to the best position, it can only scan to a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
When he thought about this problem, he was a little hesitant in his heart, and felt that it was necessary to carry out this plan again, a "hawk eye" is arranged in the sky, and it can only serve the launch terminal in one direction, which is a bit of a chicken rib for a country with such a large territory, of course, it is not too difficult to solve this problem, and there is more than one way.
The first one is to get a long-distance "Eagle Eye"; The second: the placement of several satellites in space.
Long-distance "Hawkeye" is not particularly difficult, limited to the current scanning distance, that is because Xu Ziling took into account the reason for the miniaturization of hardware, which has not been developed to large-scale, after all, whether it is a fighter or a ship, the smaller the equipment, the better, but the satellite is different, large satellites can carry several tons, and there is no need to install other things, it is no problem to carry a large "Hawkeye".
As for arranging multiple satellites, each satellite is equipped with a small distance "Hawkeye", and then each satellite is responsible for an area, and then the data exchange is carried out later, so as to achieve the required range.
So at that time, he also made it clear to General Fan Yi on this issue that it was only experimental now, and if he wanted to really realize his plan, he could not succeed at this time, but General Fan Yi considered the huge role of the success of the plan, and he did not hesitate to approve his action, in his words, that is: any skill or a piece of equipment requires countless experiments to obtain, how can it succeed without experiments?
With his words, of course, Xu Ziling let go of his hands and feet, this time the satellite is only 500 kilometers at an altitude, while the "Eagle Eye" has a scanning distance of 700 kilometers, and the difference of 200 kilometers in the middle can be regarded as making up for the gap when the microwave signal is projected on the ground. When loading the "Eagle Eye", he had an idea to design it as a movable type, but due to the problems of the original design of the satellite, the angle of activity is not large, and it cannot cover too large an area, but it is still several times higher than the previous fixed type, but it cannot be exchanged at the same time.
Turn on the scanning system, because of the height problem, "Eagle Eye" shows the picture of most of the world in space, and the beautiful picture is very beautiful, but Xu Ziling has no heart to appreciate it at all, and hurriedly controls the scanning screen to zoom in.
The picture is constantly adjusted, but the scanning range of the "Eagle Eye" will not change, it will always be a value, the closer it is, the picture will gradually become clearer, and the field of view that can be seen is getting smaller and smaller.
Previously, because of the communication test, the position of the "Eagle Eye" was adjusted to the satellite launch base, and the range of the scanned is of course this coordinate, the screen is closer layer by layer, and the screen soon shows that the maximum range of more than 1,000 kilometers is scanned, Xu Ziling calculated, almost 1,300 kilometers.
"Not bad!" With such a range, he was quite satisfied, and hurriedly continued to zoom in on the screen until the overlook of the base was clearly displayed on the screen.
"Well, the effect is no different from being on the ground." The lion looked at the image above and said, "Now wait for you to get a few sub-units out and see the final result." ”
"There's no rush for this!" With the test of the computer and the lion, it can almost prove that this plan is feasible, not to mention that the power of the "Hawkeye" launched into space this time is insufficient, and it can only test the ground units in such a limited area, and the system has not yet been perfected, and now he is the only one, and it is a little unrealistic to get it done at once, so Xu Ziling is not in a hurry.
With such a result, he was already very satisfied, thinking that General Fan Yi was still waiting for his news, he immediately asked Liu Xin, who was sitting at the same table, to call and prepare to report to General Fan.
"How?" Fan Yi was in the office, he had been paying attention to the satellite launch, and the launch had been successful for nearly half an hour, but he hadn't waited for the news he wanted, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and when he saw the phone ringing, it showed Liu Xin's number, and he guessed that it should be Xu Ziling calling, so as soon as he picked it up, he asked.
"Fortunately, I was not dishonored! Communication, scanning functions are no problem. Of course, there is also the problem of expected scope. ”
Listening to Fan Yi's tone, Xu Ziling understood that he was in a hurry, and there was no nonsense, so he directly told him the good news.
"Ha Lu Ha...... Good! Hearing that it was the answer he wanted, Fan Yi laughed loudly, but immediately stopped again, and said seriously on the phone, "What should I do next?" Are you going to quantify or scale? ”
"I'm going to look at the development of large-scale." In this regard, Xu Ziling has already considered it, as soon as Fan Yi asked, he said his plan, "Quantitative words are indeed faster to see results, but once the number is large, maintenance is a troublesome matter, it is not as simple as a one-time come, but these are not too urgent, you can take your time, the top priority is to improve the system, as well as ground communication testing." In this way, you can find out what needs to be improved. ”
He is the initiator of this project, and Fan Yigui is the minister of the general assembly, so he can only listen to Xu Ziling, because except for him, outsiders can't handle it at all, so Xu Ziling is talking, and Fan Yi is listening carefully on the other end of the phone.
"The test is relatively simple, you can choose to carry out it on the 'Liaoning' and 653, but how to design the system and how to use it is simple, these are not something I can do alone, so I hope to lend me some people, otherwise I will come alone, and I don't know when the road will come out."
In order to realize the information sharing of the navy, land and air forces, this platform is not ordinarily large, there are too many things that need to be done, there is a lion, and it is no problem for him to do it alone, but does he have to be in the limelight?
No! There's no need either!
The country has people, there is no need for him to be busy alone, and he alone to get such a huge project out, it may not be a good thing, "the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it" such words, he has always kept in mind, this is also the way he has always done things, just like in the past, every time he takes out what he has, it is to find a suitable opportunity, will not make people too suspicious, at most will only think that his amazing strength.
In this matter, he has long considered that he will only make one head at most, and it is no problem to make his own decisions, then he must lend someone to him, otherwise he will not be able to do it in a short time even if it is beneficial to the country and himself.
