Dongfeng launch site, on the desolate Gobi desert.

Looking from the sky, two very small figures were slowly walking in the desert.

The two are Chen Zhongyan, chief engineer of Beidou Navigation Engineering, and Zhang Xingyang, president of the Rocket Research Institute.

During this time, in order to promote the development progress of the Beidou satellite, Chen Zhongyan's hair was already gray, and it was much whiter.

"Old Chen, you have to take care of your health!"

Zhang Xingyang glanced at the other party's hair and persuaded him with good words.

"Well, it's nothing." Chen Zhongyan stripped his hair that was blown by the desert wind and sand.

"As long as I can make Beidou, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

The wind and sand blowing in the desert entered Zhang Xingyang's eyes, making him feel a little impulsive to cry.

Why do I often have tears in my eyes, because there are so many people in this country who regard death as their home and sacrifice their lives for the country!

Feeling that Zhang Xingyang beside him turned silent, Chen Zhongyan smiled:

"There's no need to be so sad, people are going to die after all."

"Or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather!"

"It's worth dying for the cause you love!"

Seeing that the topic seemed to be developing towards a strange place, Chen Zhongyan hurriedly pulled back the topic:

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you?"

Zhang Xingyang was a little puzzled, what did he have to say?

Looking at Zhang Xingyang, who was puzzled, Chen Zhongyan laughed and said:

"Xiao Zhang, you are not young anymore, have you considered starting a family?"

To say that in this era, the most troublesome thing for Zhang Xingyang is definitely the urging of the elders to get married!

As long as it is an elder, after knowing that Zhang Xingyang has no object, he will almost urge it.

Zhang Xingyang has never despaired like this when facing so many scientific research problems.

Now it's a real experience.

"Old Chen, I have no plans to start a family at the moment." Zhang Xingyang said with some embarrassment.

"Right now, I still want to put all my energy into my work."

Chen Zhongyan can also understand that this age is the time when scientific research ability is the strongest, and it is understandable to want to focus on work.

So I didn't dwell too much on this aspect of things.

"Xingyang, do you really think that space-based communication networks have a lot of advantages over ground-based communication networks?"

This incident is the fundamental reason why two people will come to the desert.

Only in the desert where no one can talk about these things with confidence.

"It's up to you to see what you think about the future."

"Do you think there will be a world war that will start with a nuclear war in the future?"

Zhang Xingyang did not directly answer Chen Zhongyan's question, but asked him about his views on the future world situation.

Although he didn't know the reason why Zhang Xingyang asked this, Chen Zhongyan still answered the question very seriously:

"Judging by the current world situation, the outbreak of a full-scale war is unlikely."

"The situation of future wars can also be dominated by local wars or proxy wars."

Although Chen Zhongyan does not have any position in the military, with his rank, he is qualified to know a lot of information about the international situation.

Therefore, he still has a thorough view of the international situation.

"If you think so, then I can tell you definitely."

"The advantages of space-based communication networks are greater than those of ground-based communication networks!"

"First of all, the space-based communication network will not be affected by all kinds of bad weather, and secondly, it can build a communication network covering the whole country in a very short period of time to solve the communication problems in many remote areas."

"Finally, the construction of space-based communication network can drive the development of our manufacturing industry, especially high-end manufacturing!"

Zhang Xingyang named three advantages of space-based communication networks to prove that space-based communication networks are better than ground-based communication networks.

But Chen Zhongyan knows very well that if you rely on these reasons alone, it will be difficult to convince those bigwigs who really make decisions.

We should abandon the already mature terrestrial communication network technology route and invest in the space-based communication network technology route, which is still in the development stage in terms of technology.

They must be allowed to see the stronger advantages of space-based before they can take the risk of trying space-based communication networks.

"Do you think there are any other advantages?"

Zhang Xingyang could feel that Chen Lao seemed to be not interested in his previous answer.

At this time, Zhang Xingyang also seemed to understand, what Chen Zhongyan wanted to know may be more in military use.

At this juncture when the smoke of the Cold War has not completely dissipated, all countries must take into account its military use when building a satellite system.

For example, missile guidance, monitoring of enemy forces, and so on, should be taken into account.

Why at this time, or the missile guidance accuracy is poor, and the inertial guidance equipment is backward, but it is very difficult to improve the accuracy of the inertial guidance itself.

If we complete the construction of our own satellite navigation system, then the missile can also adopt the dual guidance mode, using a combination of inertial guidance and satellite guidance to improve the strike accuracy of the missile.

"Old Chen, you know better than me about the military use of the satellite navigation system, so I won't talk about its advantages in navigation."

"The military use of low-orbit satellite communication networks is different from Beidou."

"I think the advantage of the low-orbit satellite communication network is more in the data link transmission."

The data link mentioned by Zhang Xingyang is still a technology that is being explored in China at this time.

So it was easy to arouse Chen Zhongyan's interest, and he asked with great interest:

"Let's talk about it!"

"Taking the information-based warfare that the military is now advancing as an example, in the future information-based warfare, the command center must be able to see the situation of each unit on the command map."

"Even to be able to see every tank, every armored vehicle, and even every individual soldier on the front line!"

"And this requires our equipment, or individual soldiers have the ability to access the rear information network."

"And the basis of all this is the establishment of a wartime communication network!"

"The traditional form of radio communication, because of the equipment that requires high power, is not only easy to be detected by the enemy, but also limited by terrain and weather."

"Fighting in some locations with more complex terrain can easily lead to unusable situations."

"And the space-based communication network does not have such troubles when accessing data."

"Especially in areas with complex terrain, satellite communication has a stronger advantage."

Because it is actually just a private conversation between the two now, Zhang Xingyang also said another consideration:

"There is a limit to the number of high-quality orbits that can be used in the Earth's low earth orbit."

"If we don't occupy it at this time, then it will be difficult to occupy it again after everyone starts to develop aerospace technology!"

The evening breeze over the Gobi becomes stronger and stronger as the sun gradually sinks into the horizon.

Chen Zhongyan's eyes narrowed gradually, falling into silence.

Seeing that Chen Lao was no longer speechless, Zhang Xingyang played another card:

"After the low-orbit satellite communication is completed, only some of the satellites need to be equipped with high-resolution cameras or infrared reconnaissance cameras."

"We can well detect the direction of the warships and warships around our country!"

"In the future, if we want to get out of the first island chain, there will inevitably be a fierce confrontation with Eagle Sauce!"

Chen Zhongyan dusted the sand on Zhang Xingyang's overalls with his hands, and did not continue to talk about the problem of satellite communication networks, but said lightly:

"Let's go back."

However, Zhang Xingyang can feel that Chen Zhongyan has basically agreed with Zhang Xingyang's idea of a low-orbit satellite communication system.

The back is blocked.,It may not be released until tomorrow.,There's only two chapters left today.
