On February 4, the beginning of spring, avoid seeing a doctor, relocate, sleeping, it is advisable to get a haircut and launch a rocket.

The Xinyuan-5 rocket, which has been reused three times, was erected at the No. 4 station of the Qiongzhou launch site, ready to fly into space.

This is the last launch mission of Xinyuan before the Spring Festival, most of the people of Xinyuan Company are on vacation, and a small number of personnel on duty 3 came to Qiongzhou to take charge of the launch mission after also taking vacation.

The Xinyuan-5A launched this time is equipped with 7 "Jingwei" series satellites, with a single mass of 1,100 kilograms, a single price of 12 million, and an in-orbit life of 15 years.

Satellites of the same level generally cost about 3,000 to 40 million, but because Xinyuan decided to purchase 75 backup satellites, most of the parts were handed over to suppliers, and the customized parts were turned into assembly production parts, which greatly reduced the cost.

A total of 10 launches, 70 satellites will form the "Jingwei Smart Network" planned by Xinyuan.

This batch of satellites is divided into eight batches, each batch has the functions of tracking and control, communication, and guidance, but the functions of each batch are different, and they are distributed in four orbits: geosynchronous geostationary orbit, inclined geosynchronous orbit, 700 km sun-synchronous orbit, and low-earth orbit.

With an investment of about 1.8 billion yuan, the Jingwei Smart Network will provide global communication and navigation services after completion, and is part of the smart travel on the ground.

This smart network plan has two schemes, one is a cheap small satellite scheme, in low orbit to launch 400 to 500 kg of small satellites (although the weight of the current satellite is not small), the unit price is controlled at 200 to 3 million yuan, launch more than 500 to cover low orbit, to provide no dead ends and high-speed information services.

The second is that it is now large and fine, launching a large platform weighing 1 ton, with a longer life and a higher orbit, and there is no need to use propellant to maintain a low orbit at all times.

In addition, six "Alpine" satellites will be launched into geosynchronous orbit next year, perfectly covering the world to provide comprehensive services, with an estimated investment of 1.4 billion yuan.

The role of "Gao Shan" is to provide high-precision and precise positioning and navigation in space, assist deep space vehicles in correcting orbits and provide information relay services.

Although these satellite projects are not profitable, their use has long been destined to make some people willing to spend money on them.

The space agency has been silent about the satellite missions, requiring only that the orbital parameters be declared, and that some licenses will be required for commercial applications.

However, the military was very active, and showed a strong interest in the satellite before it was launched, not only agreeing to help with the formalities, but even willing to buy the right to use a few satellites, not knowing what the use was.

On the contrary, there has been a considerable reaction to the announcement of the Xinyuan launch satellite network, with some people accusing the satellites of being incompatible with their weight and purpose, and there are also folk conspiracy theories that Lin Ju wants to rule the world from space......

Only NACA remained silent, only silently adding several times to the Air Force's satellite launch program.

Ma Yilong was also silent, he proposed a Starlink plan composed of 12,000 small satellites in January 2015, and now he found that someone was faster than him, and while fully cooperating with the moon landing, he also accelerated the specific technical demonstration of Starlink

On the evening of the second day, in Qiongzhou, Lin Ju opened a dark and heavy notebook.

This is a notebook produced with X32035 and supporting ternary components, and the operating system is also completely self-developed, which has been popularized and used within Xinyuan.

In the past days, Guo Shen has long considered the problem of leaks, so he has demanded that the internal network be physically isolated from the outside world, and the company's server access rights are strictly managed, and it is forbidden to connect with any equipment that may send information to the outside world.

Now that it is no longer necessary, the internal server has been migrated to "Xingchen No. 1", and the work data of employees is uploaded in time, completely cutting off the possibility of network intrusion.

This is the difference in the system, even if it is a hacker, it cannot be played in an unfamiliar field, and the large-scale AI "Shanhai" developed based on SC09 has been initially put into use, and it exists in both the Xingchen-1 supercomputer and the satellite network in space.

Therefore, the smart network is really intelligent.

The preliminarily perfect "Shanhai" is enough to supervise any connected device, and the built-in security module can absolutely ensure data security.

Lin Ju's laptop has a built-in satellite terminal, which is directly connected to the satellite in low earth orbit, with a downlink speed of 1000Mbps and an uplink speed of 300Mbps, which is much faster than 5G.

Of course, the terminals supported by satellite direct connection are limited, unless tens of thousands of satellites are really launched like Lao Ma's Starlink, which can achieve high-speed Internet access, but it is actually unreliable.

The anti-interference ability of small satellites is too poor, and the dense crowd threatens the safety of spacecraft, and later generations of old horses launched a Starlink satellite, forcing the Huaguo space station to have to change its orbit twice urgently to prevent collision.

And 40 of the 49 Starlink satellites launched at that time were destroyed by magnetic storms.

Another major role of Jingwei intelligent network is intelligent driving, Beidou networking success still has five years, and there is a certain adaptation period, now Xin'an car is still using GPS guidance.

Lin Ju plans to spin off a subsidiary in the future, specializing in map and navigation software, and then send people to drive mapping vehicles around the country to provide the foundation for intelligent driving and prepare for autonomous driving.

If you want to grab Beidou's business, it feels quite exciting.

However, the navigation service of Jingwei Smart Network is mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, and other regions are biased towards measurement and control.

Entering the system, the UI interface is similar to windows, which is also to adapt to the user's operating habits, and there are only a few built-in applications.

There is no way, Xinyuan's technical strength cannot do it alone to rebuild the entire ternary application ecosystem, and it needs the right time for the entire industry to create.

Lin Ju opens an app, and then shows a partially highlighted globe.

Selected, enlarged, Lin Ju saw an aircraft carrier waiting to be maintained in the dock of Newposter Shipyard.

This is a still photo taken three minutes ago, with a resolution of 0.5M, which is enough for a satellite.

What is the monitoring of the world (leaning back).

"Boss, how does it feel to be in control of the world?"

Guo Shen walked over and stretched out his hand to zoom in on the screen, which immediately showed a picture of a small town in Texas.

His hand just covers half of the screen, and he can indeed be called "mastering the world".

But Lin Ju didn't float, and instead thought of something:

"Lao Guo, are you in your thirties?"

"Well, it's 32 soon, what's wrong boss?"

Lin Ju looked bitter: "The boss is not small, it's time to consider personal problems, right?" ”

“……”

Guo Shen turned around and left, leaving Lin Ju to stay under the launch tower and laugh, only a Xinyuan-2 rocket next to him accompanied him.

It is already the evening of February 5th, and the night after tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and Xinyuan has always prepared fireworks.

The first stage of this Xinyuan-2 rocket is a full nine single 15-ton fireworks canisters with a diameter of 2 meters with rocket boosters.

They will be launched to an altitude of 8,000 meters, separated, and then evenly dispersed, fall and detonate, producing huge fireworks that can be seen by the entire Qiongzhou Island without going anywhere.

The central fireworks canister is lighter and has a parachute, which is formulated to be the same as a flare, and can stay in the air for 200 seconds, making the surrounding kilometers as bright as day.

The "Weiyang" fireworks show has officially appeared on the list of programs for the Spring Festival Gala, and it will be broadcast for five minutes at that time.

In the face of this major pollution and damage to the environment, the Qiongzhou government has made a resolute response, and has notified the people of the province in advance to come out on time to see, and it can not be wasted.
