This question is very important to Jiang Cheng's theory.

The launch of the satellite does not depend on the size of the satellite.

But one of the things that countries are most concerned about is actually the function of these satellites.

The larger the satellite, the more functions it can carry, which is now the consensus of all rocket researchers in various countries.

Abandon the large volume and pursue the small size of the satellite instead.

It is estimated that in the eyes of these researchers, it is a kind of thing to put the cart before the horse.

So Jiang Cheng's idea, in Gude's heart, is really a little strange.

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng being a member of the Dragon Kingdom, I'm afraid Professor Goode would have completely denied Jiang Cheng's idea and left.

But Professor Goode was still patient and asked Jiang Cheng his doubts.

"But the satellite is so small that it can't carry much function at all."

Hearing Professor Goode's words, Jiang Cheng immediately shook his head.

"This satellite is certainly not the same as a satellite of ordinary use. This kind of tiny satellite is actually equipped with a function. In order to make the functions of conventional satellites more complex, the volume of satellites is naturally getting larger and larger. ”

"But if you disassemble all these functions, then three tiny satellites can be compared to two normal satellites. And the manufacturing cost of these satellites can also be reduced to the extreme. Isn't it? ”

"Of course, the most important point is that the cost of launching these tiny satellites is actually only one-third of that of normal satellites. Coupled with rocket recovery technology, our satellites used to be only able to launch two or three times a year, but now they can be launched more than a dozen times. ”

Jiang Cheng revealed his thoughts little by little.

Professor Goode listened with growing horror.

If it is really as Jiang Cheng said, then the sky above the earth may really become a flickering countless satellites.

In fact, what Professor Goode is most concerned about is also what he cares about the most.

It is this kind of tiny satellite that can reduce the cost of launch.

Now the satellites on Earth are far from saturated.

It can even be said that even if tens of thousands of satellites are launched, I am afraid that it will only be one-tenth of the entire earth's space space.

In this comparison, Jiangcheng's tiny satellite technology is particularly important.

As long as these satellites are launched, a dozen tiny satellites will cost about the same as launching a large satellite.

Moreover, the functions of these dozen or so tiny satellites are all combined, and the functions are several times that of large satellites.

If all of these satellites have only one function, such as earth search.

I'm afraid it will soon cover the entire planet.

Professor Goode suddenly understood Jiang Cheng's thoughts.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Cheng, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes.

I didn't expect that so many things that the researchers didn't see were actually seen clearly by Jiang Cheng.

However, at this time, Jiang Cheng made trouble for himself.

"Although the function of these tiny satellites can do global coverage. But not almost all features are worth doing. ”

"Oh?" When Professor Goode heard Jiang Cheng's words, he slowly became interested.

I saw a trace of tininess appear on Jiang Cheng's face, and he began to speak in detail to Professor Goode.

"Actually, this tiny satellite is intended to be used for data transmission."

"Today's network transmission is often only possible through one or two specific large satellites. Because network transmission functions can be a very complex matter. ”

"But by breaking down this complex function and taking it as a group of three satellites, it can be easily realized."

Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Now there are only four or five satellites over the entire earth that are used for network transmission. In addition, in fact, most of the network is still through submarine fiber optic cables and other means. Once this tiny group of satellites. That is, the kind of technology that simulates large satellites to build a network can be achieved. ”

"I'm afraid that in the future, our network speed will be able to increase by dozens or even hundreds of times."

As soon as Jiang Cheng said this, he immediately made Professor Goode look sideways at Jiang Cheng.

Improving network transmission speed is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

Ordinary network optical cables are considered a way of physical connection.

The advantage of this physical connection is that it is very stable, but the disadvantage is very obvious, that is, the cost of construction is too high.

Except for some developed areas, some small places simply do not allow the construction of fiber optic cables.

It is said that it is the global Internet, but in fact, it is only in some places where people gather that there are network fiber optic cables.

Sparsely populated areas can be considered isolated.

If this kind of infinite transmission, that is, virtual transmission, can really be realized.

No matter where you go in the future, you will be able to connect to the Internet as soon as possible.

This can be said to be very convenient for people's travel in the future.

Professor Goode listened carefully to Jiang Cheng's thoughts and couldn't help but nodded.

"That's a great idea!"

Jiang Cheng also smiled slightly.

In fact, this kind of reason is only for outsiders to see.

The full coverage of the global network is just one part of Jiangcheng's huge plan.

Jiang Cheng's main idea is actually to put artificial intelligence technology on the agenda.

And the application of artificial intelligence technology is in the daily life of all human beings.

Only by connecting all the world's networks can AI play a greater role.

Jiang Cheng looked at the drawings in front of him and was even more sure of his thoughts.

Artificial intelligence technology must be completed.

In the future, this kind of technology will be extremely important for the entire human race.

Whether it is to make people's lives more convenient through artificial intelligence, or to develop large-scale aerospace vehicles in the future, artificial intelligence is needed.

Jiang Cheng thought about it, and it took about a few minutes.

But Professor Goode didn't interrupt Jiang Cheng's thinking, but said to Jiang Cheng with some urgency: "I want to join your plan!" ”

When Jiang Cheng heard Gude's words, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

With Professor Goode's current status, I'm afraid there are countless people who want to hook up with Professor Goode.

But Professor Goode actually wanted to complete this tiny satellite network with Jiang Cheng.

This really surprised Jiang Cheng a little.

But soon Jiang Cheng understood.

The fact that Professor Goode joined his own project does not represent Professor Goode's thoughts alone.

Behind Professor Goode stands one of the two largest countries in the world, Russia.

If Russia supports it, then other small countries naturally don't have to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately nodded decisively.

"Alright, Professor Goode, you're welcome to join."
