Chapter 442: The Book of Battle, the Decisive Battle Star Network!
Cape Canaveral Space Base, Florida, North America.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! This is Huaxia TV International Channel. "The beautiful hostess, standing in the hallway of the press center, holding a microphone, is doing a live broadcast to China across the Pacific Ocean," according to the latest information we have received, the new White House coordinator for scientific affairs, Elon Brown. Musk will hold a global press conference in Cape Canaveral in a few minutes to announce North America's major initiatives in the space sector. ā
There were not only reporters from Huaxia at the scene, but also Musk, who has always been high-profile, publicized it with great fanfare, attracting the attention of the world, according to the comments of many news analysts, this move is obviously aimed at Luo Jia.
From the perspective of communication, discourse is power, public opinion and culture are the forefront of the wrestling between major powers, Luo Jia has his own live broadcast program, and often holds new product launches in person, since Musk has put himself in the position of benchmarking Luo Jia, he naturally attaches great importance to the battlefield of public opinion.
"He's coming!"
"It's Musk, the real-life version of Iron Man!"
"With Musk's leadership, the North American scientific research community will definitely not lose to those yellow-skinned monkeys!"
When Musk walked to the podium with a smile on his face and a suit, the barrage was crazy and refreshing.
In terms of popularity, Musk is one of the few people in the West who can confront Luo Jia head-on, although Luo Jia has been more sharp in recent years, but Musk is a veteran genius after all, he has been famous for many years, is a predecessor in the scientific research community, and has the reputation of the realistic version of Iron Man.
With a smile on his face, Musk slowly said in a wave of praise and praise: "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to Cape Canaveral, today I am honored to stand here and introduce to you a space development program that is destined to shock the world, and the name of this program is called Starlink!" ā
After Musk said this, there was no expected warm applause at the scene, and people looked at each other and looked very puzzled.
Those who are familiar with the North American space development field will know that Starlink is not a new plan, as early as 2016, Musk has announced Starlink, and on May 24, 2019, Starlink plans to launch successfully for the first time.
Using the Falcon 9 recoverable launch vehicle, SpaceX launched the first 60 test satellites into space orbit 550 kilometers above the ground, of which three satellites were out of control or semi-out of control, and the remaining 57 satellites were functional.
On the way to a higher and stronger human race, setbacks are always inevitable, and the Starlink plan was launched for the first time, and three satellites went out of control, which once made Musk very annoyed, but there is no doubt that if Starlink succeeds, it will be the greatest epic plan in the history of human space!
According to the assumption of Musk, a madman, SpaceX will deploy 1,584 satellites in an orbit of 1,150 kilometers above the earth, and 2,825 satellites in an orbit of 1,110-1,325 kilometers.
The above 4409 satellites are selected in the KuKa frequency band, and these satellites can be deployed in higher orbits to better achieve signal coverage.
Subsequently, 7,518 satellites will be deployed in 550-340 km orbits, which will use the V-band, and V-band satellites will be deployed in lower orbits, which can achieve signal enhancement and more targeted services.
This is Starlink!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is destined to be a milestone in the history of human space, as many as 11,927 satellites, which will support the first in the history of the earth, the interstellar Internet!
The Starlink project will seamlessly cover the world, allowing humans to use fast communication and internet services in the Antarctic, in the Arctic, on the top of the Himalayas, and in the depths of the Great Rift Valley.
Compared with the existing Inmarsat system and the Starlink program, it is simply weak, and it is not a product of the same era at all!
"What the hell? Didn't Project Starlink start a long time ago? ā
"Yes, Musk has already released the Starlink plan as early as 2016, he shouldn't release the same thing twice, right?"
"Strange press conference, let's wait patiently."
People wonder if the Starlink project is undoubtedly great, but even if it is a great plan, it doesn't need to be released twice in a row, right? What the hell is this guy Musk doing?
With a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, Musk waved his hand backstage, and then saw the two founders of Google Group, Larry. Page and Sergey. Bryn, one after the other, stepped up to the forefront.
Their appearance caused a sensation, although in recent years, Google has lost very badly in the continuous confrontation with Xingchen Technology, and the market value is only 30% of the peak, but as the old saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Google is still one of the strongest technology companies on the planet.
After a brief greeting to the audience, Larry Page said quite seriously: "You may remember that we once had a ProjectLoon plan to use a large hot air balloon with the ability to stay in the air for a long time to form an in-flight Internet on Earth. ā
"Now, our ideals are still there, but I'm afraid that some changes will take place, Musk's Starlink plan is obviously far stronger than our ProjectLoon, although admitting this makes me and Sergei painful, but maybe it's time for us to face the future, for several years, in the face of the aggressive offensive of Star Technology, Google has retreated again and again."
"But today, we stand here and officially announce that Google Group will invest $10 billion, plus our in-flight Internet technology, to participate in the Starlink program! Create a better tomorrow together! ā
The speeches of the two founders of Google ended, and when they stepped off the podium, the crowd erupted in extremely enthusiastic applause, and it has long been proved that in the face of the brutal star technology, the living forces of the West must unite to meet the battle.
The implementation of the Starlink plan and the ProjectLoon plan at the same time is obviously a waste of resources, not that the two companies will join forces to make Starlink bigger.
Immediately afterwards, Musk invited an old rival to come to power, the Florida-based OneWeb Group, behind this group company, stands the British authorities, Virgin Group, Qualcomm, Airbus, Neon SoftBank, Coca-Cola, etc., a large number of giants in the capital market.
Compared with Musk's SpaceX Group, OneWeb Group has more abundant funds, and they also have a huge advantage in technology, that is, laser communication technology between satellites, OneWeb Group is the world's leader.
With the announcement of the chairman of the OneWeb group to join the Starlink plan, the West is completely boiling, and it is not difficult for discerning people to see that Google's strength lies in the near-earth air network, and OneWeb's strength lies in laser communication between satellites.
No one could have imagined that the third person to be invited to power by Musk was actually Bezos, the founder of Amazon Group.
As we all know, Bezos has always been Musk's mortal enemy, he is much richer than Musk, and his ambition to enter space is no less than Musk, Musk has the rocket launch company SpaceX, and Bezos also has the famous rocket launch company, Blue Origin.
Musk has Starlink, the Starlink program, and Bezos obtained approval from the North American Federal Communications Administration FCC on July 6, 2019 to officially form Amazon Star.com.
The first phase of the Amazon Star Network will launch 3,236 communication satellites, occupying the three bands of KA, KU, V, and the second phase will launch 12,308 communication satellites.
Bezos stood on the stage, touched his bare head with his right hand, and announced a decision that shocked the world, "The Starnet plan will be integrated with the Starlink plan to jointly build a new generation of 6G network." ā
Rumble~
Listening to Bezos's words, the audience was suddenly silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What did Bezos just say? 6Gļ¼ ā
"It seems so."
"What the hell! We haven't even used 5G yet, and they are going to start building a 6G network!? ā
"You idiots, our 5G technology is lagging behind China in an all-round way, don't you know? If you want to maintain your advantage in the field of communication, you must overtake in corners! And this is also the usual means of Xingchen Technology, we will set up a star network, directly let the world enter the 6G era! ā
The brief shock was followed by a great uproar and talk.
Bezos obviously accidentally said that the news of Starnet and 6G should have been announced by Musk, but it was taken over by Bezos.
Musk didn't seem to care, patting Bezos on the shoulder with his hand, and Bezos shrugged his shoulders and apologized to him.
Now that the news has been announced in advance, the president of Boeing, the last company to appear on the stage, announced in as simple language as possible that Boeing Group will also join the Starlink program.
Boeing is the fourth company in North America to prepare to form a satellite network, the difference is that the number of satellites planned by Boeing is 2,956 communication satellites, far less than that of Musk and Bezos, and it only occupies the V-band.
So far, only Musk and Bezos' Starnet plan has really been approved by the FCC, and the other three have not yet been approved, but this does not prevent them from joining together historically.
The Google Group, which itself does not intend to launch communications satellites, uses near-Earth network technology as a complement and backup to the satellite network.
SpaceX Group plans to launch 11,943 communication satellites, occupying three bands of KA, KU, V.
Boeing plans to launch 2,956 communications satellites, occupying the V-band.
Amazon Group, plans to launch 15,844 communication satellites, occupying three bands of KA, KU, V.
OneWeb Group plans to launch 2,720 communications satellites, occupying three bands of ka, ku, and v.
In the whole of North America, all the five major groups with a clear plan to develop the Starlink network have been historically united, and if such a major event is not a milestone, I believe that history will never agree to it.
After the partners appeared one by one, Musk said in a joking tone: "I know that what you are most concerned about at the moment is definitely not us, but our opponent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which is normal, after all, the rapid rise of Xingchen Technology Group in the past few years has brought us too much trouble, which is still fresh in everyone's memory." ā
"In fact, Huaxia does have a Star Network plan."
Listening to Musk's words, all the Western reporters present pricked up their ears, because it has been suppressed by Xingchen Technology in recent years, the reporters habitually cheer up as soon as they hear the word Huaxia.
Musk said with a smile: "Huaxia Aerospace Science and Industry Group has a Hongyun project plan to launch 156 satellites. In addition, the Huaxia Aerospace Science and Technology Group Corporation has a Hongyan constellation plan, which is larger in scale and is ready to launch 300 satellites. ā
"Other than that, there is none."
Rumble~
Western reporters were stunned at first, then burst out laughing.
"Wouldn't it? Huaxia plans for this? ā
"It's normal, the yellow-skinned monkey is full of confidence in the 5G field, so he is not willing to invest in the Starlink network at all."
"Confidence? Well, when our satellite network covers the entire Earth's low Earth orbit, they will be more confident. ā
The reporters ridiculed, Musk saw that the reporters from Huaxia did not speak, and their faces were pale, but they were powerless to refute, indeed, Huaxia currently has no plans for the large-scale development of the Star Network, and the two plans for the space system are all experimental.
Musk stretched out his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said in a mocking tone: "First, at present, we are absolutely crushing China in aerospace, space exploration, Star Alliance Network, Mars colonization and other projects!" ā
Boom~
The applause came like a tide, and both the reporters present and the viewers watching the live broadcast at home were deeply encouraged by Musk's domineering speech.
After a pause, Musk suddenly stretched out his right arm and pointed to the east.
"Second, I would like to ask a question about Xingchen Technology, which is known as the No. 1 in East Asia, can you afford the project of Starlink Network!?"
