We are accustomed to seeing pictures of the Earth from space, but we often forget how complicated it is to observe the Earth.

In fact, it's hard to do anything in space, let alone try to capture high-resolution, high-precision images of the Earth's surface.

This is something that the DigitalGlobe satellite is really awesome;

DG's Earth imaging satellites are capable of taking images with a resolution of 30-50 centimeters from an altitude of about 700 kilometers above the ground.

What is it equivalent to? It's like taking a picture from the Oriental Pearl Tower in the Zhonghai Sea, and you can see a car on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.

And that's not all.

The satellite that took this photo is flying at a speed of about 27,000 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to reaching Taiyuan from Yanjing in one minute.

Keeping the camera steady at such a shooting speed is a very difficult thing to do!

In addition, the launch of the DG satellite is also a very difficult task, it occupies an orbital window of about 2 square kilometers;

Putting a satellite safely into that small piece of space is as difficult as shooting a soccer ball into a truck tire from the distance of seven football fields;

And each satellite weighs 3 tons and is the size of a small school bus;

From here, it can be known that the American DG, it is not unreasonable.

Whether it is our domestic whiteness, Gaode, Tengxun, or Apple, Google, these map images all come from DG.

At the same time, many companies that provide location services, such as Uber and Facebook, are also customers of DG.

Of course, saying so much is not to show that DG is powerful, but to say that if you want to build such a satellite and send it into space, in addition to technology, the most important thing is money, a large amount of money~

add 300% to Shen Xin's prediction of the highest 300% of $150 million, nearly $500 million;

Even if the R&D cost is removed, it will cost more than $300 million to send one to the sky.

According to the frequency of global coverage, 3-5 launches are made, which is more than 1000 million US dollars.

With the technology, money, and connections in place, you think you'll be able to launch a satellite?

wrong

You have to queue up!

You still have to queue up for a meal, and you can't queue up to launch satellites?

As for when it will be you, it depends on luck.

Now commercial companies at home and abroad are busy sending small satellites to the sky, and the schedule is full, and if you are lucky, you will be scheduled for three or five months, and if you are unlucky, it is possible that it will be two years a year.

hat the fuсk？

Lao Tzu is ready for everything, only the east wind is owed, and you actually let me wait for a year or two?

pass~

So, after thinking about it, Han Yi thought of launching a "nanosatellite".

Nanosatellites are small satellites with a mass between 1 kg and 10 kg and employ a 10×10×10 unit cubic structure.

The most convenient thing about nanosatellites is that they are simple to launch, and they can be launched together by "hitchhiking" on a rocket;

The price varies depending on the weight of the satellite and the distance in space, ranging from $300,000 to $600,000, and the maximum will not exceed $2 million.

......

When you think of it, you dare to do it

First of all, of course, is the space camera.

Space cameras have to withstand the violent vibrations of rocket launches;

Clear images of the ground should be taken from hundreds or even thousands of kilometers above the ground, in an environment of fire and ice, on an orbit without a tripod or bean bag, through the atmosphere.

At present, there are only a handful of space cameras in the world that have the ability to make space cameras, and the top of them is a few days of benzene.

There are no space cameras sold on the market, you need to order them from the manufacturer, and the price is high.

This matter was handed over to Surier to contact, and Han Yi then went to the Internet to find a DIY expert to buy a nanosatellite model.

There are many people who do this privately, and there are even local tyrants who spend money to launch it into the sky, but it is not a remote sensing satellite, but a monitoring satellite that is not too commercially available.

Finally, I contacted a Yangcheng seller on the Internet, and the other party offered 1 million yuan, did not counteroffer, and had to pick up the goods.

Han Yi didn't think much about it, and agreed to make a face-to-face deal three days later.

After contacting the shell part, the next step is to prepare various auxiliary materials.

I drove to the hardware market and ordered a whole bunch of various types of sensors, solar panels, storage, and other items.

After this matter was settled, Han Yi asked Surier to make an appointment with the satellite launch company in advance.

At several launch sites in China and neighboring countries, the "boarding service" will be queued for 3 months;

In the end, I asked around and found the United States again.

...... of MMP

This company is called Spaceflight, in Seattle, USA, they can provide a service, and it is cheap, if you don't want them to offer an additional "bundle service", it only costs 500,000 dollars, start making an appointment now, and go to the sky in three weeks.

Bite your teeth, pinch your nose, and admit it~

Sony replied quickly and replied on the afternoon of the day the email was sent, offering to provide them with a space camera for $400,000 and arriving in a week.

Buy!

......

At noon on the day before the National Day, after preparing everything properly, Han Yi went to the company.

When she came back, she was going to take Yanjiang Road, but Yu Jingyao called and asked him to take her to the Jade Garden by the way, and Han Yi asked Zhao Hongwu to turn around and go to the Conservatory of Music of Jinshi University.

When he arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Yanjing Road, Han Yi asked Zhao Hongwu to stop.

Because the seller in Yangcheng said that he needed cash transactions, he didn't have that much, and he needed to take a little.

Han Yi is a platinum customer of ICBC, and there is no appointment to say, so when he arrives at the big customer room, he lights up his card, drinks coffee and waits for money.

It was fast, and about 20 minutes later, the account manager came in with a large bag of cash, and there were two security guards waiting to escort him outside the glass.

"Mr. Han, I've been waiting for a long time~" The account manager was enthusiastic.

"It's fine. ”

Han Yi put down his coffee and was just about to leave, when he saw a man with a familiar face passing outside the glass and walking towards the corporate business window of the bank counter.

Han Yi went around half a circle to the other side to observe carefully, and the familiar feeling became stronger and stronger;

Then he suddenly remembered that the other party was not a Tianyi employee. The last time he went to the construction site in Xiling Town, the other party reported to him, but he didn't remember his name.

"Why is he here?"

Han Yi was puzzled and said to the account manager next to him, "Help me go and see which company's business is at window No. 6?"

"Okay, Mr. Han waits. ”

The account manager went and came quickly, and came over in less than 2 minutes.

"Mr. Han is a company called Deye Building Materials Co., Ltd. ”

"Okay, thank you~" Han Yi didn't ask what the other party's name was or what he came to the bank for, knowing the company's name was enough.

The security guard helped him deliver the money to the trunk of the Mercedes parked at the door.

After waiting for the car, Han Yi called Tianyi's "International Business Intelligence Analysis Center", "Who is the upstream purchaser of Deye building materials for me?"

When the bus arrived at the south gate of the Conservatory, the phone came in.

"Boss, Deye's buyer is a leather bag company called Jianjia Trading, and Jianjia is an offshore company registered in Shencheng, and the legal representative is called Feng Xiangxue. ”

A small leather bag company has gone to great lengths to make it so complicated, and the problem behind it must be very serious.

Han Yi said coldly: "Keep digging down~"

"Okay, boss~"

............

After picking up Yu Jingyao, he went back to the Jade Garden directly.

He Xiaoxiao didn't go back to Jinling last week because she had just arrived in Yanjing, saying that she was waiting for the National Day to come back.

However, Mother He is here, and there are two nannies, plus Yu Jingyao is also here basically every night, so there is no one to take care of the big cats and kittens.

By the way, Geng Kailin also often comes over.

When I got home, the sun was setting, and a ray of golden light passed through the French plane trees planted in the community, which was particularly beautiful.

As soon as he got out of the car, the phone came, and asked Yu Jingyao to enter the house, and Han Yi sat in the car to pick it up.

"Found it. Feng Xiangxue is a native of Xiangjiang, and we found out through her mobile phone number that she often contacts a man named Li Yu in China;

And this Li Yu also runs a trading company, and this trading company has only one customer, called "Wan Qi Pegatron". ”

Han Yi couldn't help but laugh, "There's no loofah vine, right?"

"Uh...... Without. Wan Qian and Shuo ......"

"Let me guess......" Han Yi interrupted the other party and asked, "Is it Yu Wei?"

"Yes!"

"Huh~" Han Yi sighed, I don't know whether to talk to himself or ask: "Why are you making it so complicated, don't you say it's boring?"

Our company has great development prospects, and I am not a stingy person, if he is not satisfied with the salary, he will say okay, why is he so sneaky?"

On the phone, Jiang Feng, the leader of the intelligence team, hesitated for a moment and said, "No one in this world hates a lot of money. ”

"Well, you have a point, but I'm naïve. After a pause, Han Yi's tone became cold, "Keep digging and see who else there are." ”

......

When passing by 901, the neighbor Liu Jinye was chatting with a literary young man with long hair.

Seeing Han Yi, Liu Jinye shouted: "Boss Han, wait."

"What's wrong?"

Liu Jinye walked over and said with a smile: "My friend is going to hold a farewell bachelor dinner in the evening, do you want to come together?"

"Married?"

"Well, he and his boyfriend will go to Belgium early tomorrow morning to get married. ”

"Male...... Boyfriend ......"
