The Interstellar Technique Rocket Research Institute welcomed a group of special guests on this day.

The guests were different from the government investigators who had come a few days ago, carrying bulky camera equipment on their shoulders and Alex himself leading them.

"This is the heart of our institute! You see, this is the fastest supercomputer in the world! Well, it should already be the first 3! Alex pointed to the flickering machine in front of him and said to the camera.

He was followed by the ABC TV recording team, who led only this once, and for the next few days, he planned to let the program director produce a program on his own. He has thought of the name of this show, it is called "American Artificial Moon"!

With such a resounding name, even if you are not interested, you will take a few looks. As long as he reads, he has the confidence to attract people firmly. He even wanted to buy this program to the Soviet Union, but he was worried that the US government would not approve it.

For von Bryan and others, this is nothing short of nonsense. Rocket and satellite technology is the most advanced technology, so it is generous for people to walk in, shoot whatever they want, and ask whatever they want. So what's the secret!

He objected to Alex more than once: "Alex, if you continue like this, our skills will be leaked!" “

Every time, Alex said, "Don't worry, they can't see anything!" Don't worry, not everyone is as good as you! When the shooting is done, I will ask them to cut out some key shots and keep those Soviet spies in the clouds! ”

"But ......"

"No, it's nothing! I've always been very measured, and now we're not afraid of being understood. But I'm afraid that no one will know the way. As soon as this program is broadcast, the eyes of all Americans will be focused here. Think about it. When the time comes, once our rocket is successfully launched, what a great honor it will be! ”

Von Bryan was not so confident. He asked rhetorically, "What if the launch is not successful?" Wouldn't that be ridiculed to death like the Navy? I've heard that the Navy fired a few duds later, but luckily they covered them well, otherwise they would have laughed out of their big teeth! ”

After hearing this, Alex sighed and said, "Then let me ask you, how sure are you that you will be able to launch successfully?" ”

Von Bryan hesitated for a moment, and he said: "Your computer simulation is really useful, if you grasp it, I estimate that it will be fifty or sixty percent!" ”

Alex smiled, and he said, "Only five or six percent sure?" You're too conservative, aren't you? I'm telling you. If I wasn't 100% sure about what I would do, it wouldn't be so high-profile! If you see me in a more high-profile way, the more confidence you should have! ”

Von Bryan was a little surprised, he looked at Alex and asked, "Do you think this launch will be 100% successful?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Alex nodded his mind and said, "Of course, with the calculation of this genius's brain, this launch will definitely be successful." As long as there is no interference from external factors! ”

What he meant was that in the mental space, the launch of the von Bryan puppet simulation had been successful three times in a row. There is no reason to fail in the real world. Both theory and reality are consistent with the results of his brain simulations. The so-called external interference does not rule out the influence of human factors or changes in celestial phenomena.

Human factors. He took into account the problems of espionage, sabotage, and so on. As long as the security work is done well, it can basically be eliminated.

Celestial changes, that is, there are meteors directly smashed down during launch, etc. The odds are so small that they can almost be ruled out.

Tesla, the predecessor, was able to use it after it was developed in the brain. Alex thinks he's a hundred times better than Tesla, and he's put so much effort into it. I don't believe it can't be done.

After von Bryan mentioned it a few times, he saw that Alex was full of confidence, so he did not continue to advise. He can only do his job with all his heart and soul to minimize all accidents.

After working with Alex, von Bryan also learned a little about his character, and knew that when he recognized something, he would never be persuaded to come back.

At the same time, von Bryan was surprised by Alex's knowledge, believing that Alex was on par with him in many ways. Even much stronger in some ways, he had heard that Alex had a high IQ before, and at that time he was a little unimpressed, and now he slowly believes this rumor.

Otherwise, where did Alex get the time to learn so many things, a person's energy is limited, and it took a long time for von Bryan to become an authority in the field of rockets.

However, Alex has not only made achievements in rockets, but also in other aspects, especially satellites, which von Bryan himself understands and is not proficient in. Alex was able to design the satellite himself and lead the construction of the satellite. At this point, von Bryan is far from matching.

The people at ABC Radio were very skillful, and they made a rough episode of the show that day. People on the TV station also know that people all over the country are now paying attention to their country's rocket research, and everyone who opens the newspaper and sees rocket-related reports.

Other TV stations also want to do similar programs, but those people don't have the conditions, not every TV station can have such a good opportunity to go into the rocket research institute for filming. Even if some TV stations come up with some rocket-related programs, they are all shoddy videos and are not worth mentioning at all.

As soon as Alex's idea was proposed, the people at ABC TV immediately sent the best team over. They had wanted to shoot such a show for a long time, but they didn't expect the opportunity to fall from the sky.

"Uh-huh! Let's remove this paragraph and replace it with another fragment. Alex looked at the tapes and told them which places could be played, which ones needed to be deleted, and so on.

After having the first episode as a demonstration, Alex planned to throw his hand at the program director, saying: "In the future, your program will follow this as a model, and don't broadcast those sensitive content." Beware of Soviet spies. Do you know the way? ”

The director of the program and a group of photographers nodded hurriedly, and they also knew that this matter was not a joke. If the U.S. government accidentally finds out that their show has leaked rocket technology, it will be a hard time.

In fact. Alex is not afraid of revealing secrets, his biggest secret is in his own head, and no one can get it. If the Soviet Union can gain something from what is laid out in the Rocket Research Institute, it will not be a big deal, at most it will let the Soviet Union take fewer detours and let the aerospace technology of this world develop in advance.

In this case, the Soviet Union will put more pressure on the United States, and Alex will also benefit from it. If the United States pressed the Soviet Union all at once, the Soviet Union would never be able to turn over again. Alex is still a. The national government will definitely not support it anymore, and resources and talents will not be inclined to the direction of aerospace research, and once such a situation occurs, it will be really boring.

The first episode of "American Artificial Moon" was soon broadcast on ABC TV, and the show immediately caused a huge response among American audiences. Because television stations in this era had a coverage, many Americans only learned about the program in the newspapers, and they called their local television stations to ask when "American Artificial Moon" would be broadcast.

Viewers don't care if the show is produced by ABC or NBC or whatever, they only see it earlier.

Some viewers even yelled on the phone: "I don't care if you have the copyright to this non-TV show." I just want to ask, can you guys play it and when. If not, let us know as soon as possible! ”

Some viewers suggested to the TV station: "Why don't you make a show like this too?" What? Can't shoot? What kind of rotten TV station are you? I can't even shoot such a show! ”

Alex really grasped the American psychology of this era, especially after experiencing the failure of the US Navy's rocket launch, everyone wanted to know whether the American rocket technology was worse than that of the Soviet Union.

On TV shows. Of course, it will not directly belittle the rocket technology of the US Navy, but will analyze the Soviet rockets several times for a realistic analysis. And the American rocket has never been able to fly.

After popularizing science, the Americans learned that rocket technology has a very long history. As early as ancient times, the Chinese used similar principles to create a weapon of war. Modern rockets were developed on the basis of the research of German Nazi scientists, but the Soviet Union was the first to successfully launch into space, and the United States was just a little unlucky.

At the same time, in the program, they learned that Interstellar Technology was about to launch a rocket into space, and that the satellite carried by this rocket was not a short-lived artificial satellite like the Soviet Union. The satellite will be used as a communications satellite, and it will fly into geostationary orbit and serve as a radio communication relay station, capable of collecting signals from the ground and then transmitting them to other places.

A man dressed as a scientist stood in front of the blackboard and casually drew a schematic diagram of the earth and satellites: "The signal coverage area of this satellite is particularly large, and a geostationary orbit communication satellite can cover 40% of the earth's surface. Only 3 evenly distributed satellites are needed to cover the entire Earth. ”

He paused, then continued: "It allows any communication station on the ground, at sea, in the air in the coverage area to communicate with each other at the same time. Three geostationary orbit communications satellites spaced equally over the equator can achieve global communications except for parts of the poles. ”

The American viewers watching the television were all watching the television intently, and their horizons suddenly expanded, looking from the ground to space. In this professional and fun show, everyone got the knowledge they had always wanted to know, and at the same time stimulated a stronger desire to learn.

After the show aired, the ABC TV station was called until it exploded. There are all kinds of people who call, both viewers and people from other TV stations. The audience wants to know more about the program, and people from other TV stations want to get the broadcast rights of the program.

Some viewers asked, "When will the next episode be broadcast?" ”

Some viewers also want to know: "When will the first episode be replayed?" I'd like to introduce it to my friends. ”

Some viewers are asking: "I heard that the Interstellar Technology Company is going to launch a rocket, when will your TV station broadcast it?" ”

As for the people from other TV stations who were more direct, they came up and said: "Please let us know as soon as possible how much the broadcast rights will cost!" ”

The head of ABC TV was overjoyed by the situation, he didn't expect the first episode to cause such a big response, the ratings increased a lot, and the advertising costs also rose.

At the urging of the person in charge of the TV station, the program staff who had already lived in the Rocket Research Institute worked overtime overnight to edit the second episode. I took it directly to the TV station to broadcast it, and I didn't even delay a little time on the road.

After seeing that the show was on the right track, Alex left it alone and handed it over to the program team to tinker with. He now has too much to do, not only to inspect every part to be installed on the rocket, but also to test the communications satellites that have already been assembled.

The satellite has long been assembled and preliminarily tested, but in order to ensure that there are no accidents, Alex is still in charge of this part of the work. At least he had to lead the test work, so that the rocket would not be in trouble, and the satellite would be sent, only to be found to be useless. That's a real waste!

At present, the satellites are working well, and the problems that have arisen have been solved one by one, and they are all minor and inconsequential problems. This satellite was designed by him himself and built with reference to many later generations of satellite data.

For example, if you don't have experience with the frequencies used in satellite communications, you have to start from scratch. The early rocket and satellite technology was stuck on this point for a long time, and only after the communication problem was completely solved could aerospace research really be able to run.

According to the knowledge of later generations, the frequencies used by Alex Zhidao satellite communication are C frequency, Ku frequency, Ka frequency, L frequency, and other UHF, S, X, Q, V and other frequencies.

Among them, the C frequency is relatively rich in resources, but it is easy to be interfered with by the ground, and the antenna aperture is large, and it is not affected by the weather. Ku frequency resources are very tight, not easy to jarate interference, the antenna aperture is small, the beam is relatively narrow when the earth station and the antenna are at a certain time, and the signal loss is large in the case of dense clouds, dense fog, heavy rain and other E even weather conditions.

Alex clearly understands the advantages and disadvantages and limitations of each frequency, so he can design suitable satellite functions and avoid the interference of some external factors.

The satellite communication he designed has the characteristics of long communication distance, large capacity, good quality, high reliability, strong confidentiality, good survivability, and flexibility. It can be called a mature product, and there is no need to spend time exploring, just use it for commercial use.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to end the test and prepare for launch, the US Navy actually sent someone to point fingers at him. (To be continued......)
