The idea of a sea launch platform, although accompanied by a survey of the Bohai Bay.

Basically, it's about staying at the current stage of vision.

But another big project has great hope that it will be officially launched.

With the successful test launch of the high-thrust recoverable rocket, the project demonstration of the low-orbit satellite communication network officially began.

Because if this project is really carried out according to Zhang Xingyang's vision, it will need to involve thousands of trillions of funds.

Therefore, before the official start of construction, multiple departments need to conduct a comprehensive demonstration of the project.

Of course, the Rocket Research Institute, where Zhang Xingyang is located, needs to be responsible for only technical demonstrations, at most plus professional opinions on cost.

As for the rest, don't worry about them.

Of course, as the main proposer of this project, Zhang Xingyang is not only shouldering the work that needs to be done by the Rocket Research Institute, but also has a lot of additional work to do.

For example, the planning of each phase of construction, the planning of satellite operating orbits, and the construction planning of ground receiving stations.

Of course, those are the work that has been done after the entire low-orbit satellite communication network project has been officially established.

Whether this project can be established now is still unknown.

After all, his technical prospects are not particularly clear, and whether such a radical technical route can be carried out is a question.

Once it fails, what will be lost here is not a small number like one or two million, but hundreds or hundreds of billions of funds!

"Xiao Zhang, what do you think about the prospects of this project?"

In a living room with a very simple decoration, two people, an old man and a young man, sit facing each other.

The young people are naturally Zhang Xingyang, and the older ones are the leaders who are in charge of the direction of almost all industrial development in the country.

If the low-orbit satellite communication network wants to succeed in the project, it is inseparable from the support of this leader, and as long as his support is obtained, then this matter will be much simpler.

Zhang Xingyang honestly poured a cup of tea for the other party, and then poured himself a cup.

The dragon well before the Ming Dynasty tastes good.

Zhang Xingyang thought about it for a while: "Whether it is from the technical advantages or the future development of domestic high-end manufacturing industry, it is imperative to develop our own satellite communication network." ”

"Even if we don't develop now, after the ground base stations are saturated in a few years, if we want to continue to improve the communication speed or quality of the communication network, we must develop the satellite communication network."

"Then it's better to start building now, after all, the sooner you build, the easier it will be to grab a better track!"

Zhang Xingyang swallowed a sip of warm tea and continued:

"You should know that in '84 we joined the Outer Space Treaty."

"Although the Outer Space Treaty stipulates that countries have the right to freely explore and develop outer space."

"But you also understand that high-quality orbits in outer space, especially in near-Earth space, are actually limited."

"If we don't want to occupy it now, then our children and grandchildren will pay a much greater price to complete these construction work!"

Zhang Xingyang's words made Sun Hongtao, who had been in charge of industrial development, fall into deep thought.

At this time, all aspects of the country have just begun to recover, and industrial development and scientific and technological development are basically based on catching up with the advanced level of foreign countries.

And this time, the low-orbit satellite communication network plan, almost no country abroad has really completed the construction.

The only thing that can be regarded as a passing "Iridium" company is not very good.

Therefore, Sun Hongtao has a certain degree of doubt about the feasibility of this technical route.

Such a technical prospect and engineering prospect are not very clear, and there is almost no project that can be relied on to explore references.

Is it really worth the country's huge investment of manpower and material resources to explore?

This question is an idea that Sun Hongtao has been hovering over since he learned about this project.

"Our technology, is there any difficulty in realizing this project now?"

Although Sun Hongtao also comes from an industrial background, he is not very familiar with the aerospace-related technologies in this project.

And the various technical documents that were compiled were quite difficult to read, so Sun Hongtao couldn't help but ask Zhang Xingyang, a professional.

"From a technical point of view, there is nothing particularly difficult."

"The main difficulties are two aspects, one is a low-cost launch rocket, and the second is a cost-effective communication satellite."

"Because of the large number of satellites required to build successfully, if the launch cost and satellite cost cannot be reduced, then the whole project will need to consume more money."

"Low-cost recyclable rockets, we have now completed the first step, the development of new rockets has basically been completed, and research on rocket recovery work is currently underway."

"The development of cost-effective communication satellites has not yet begun, but the technical difficulties here are not particularly large."

"And because of the huge number of satellites required by the satellite communication network, such a large number of satellite research and development and production will inevitably enable our satellite industry to flourish."

"The satellite industry is almost the first step into space."

"Three hundred years ago, we missed the ocean age, and now, we can't miss the space age anymore!"

Because he didn't catch the first train of the Ocean Age before, the current dragon country's navy wants to develop, and it almost takes several times the efforts of those countries that developed in the early years.

And after missing the space age, it is difficult to build even dozens of times the effort.

Decades later, even many developed countries are lagging behind in aerospace.

On the entire earth, the countries that can independently carry out space work can be counted on one hand.

Sun Hongtao was also somewhat persuaded at this time, for his generation of industrialists.

He couldn't have come from having nothing in the country, how much suffering he has endured, and how much suffering he has suffered.

"Space age, that sounds so good!"

After Sun Hongtao sighed, he still talked about the satellite communication network:

"There's a lot of work going on here, and we'll have a special meeting next week to discuss it."

"I'm personally interested in this project, but there's no guarantee that everyone has the same opinion as me."

"You also know that the money and policies involved here are very important, and they can almost be regarded as major events that will determine the direction of development in the next few decades."

"It's not just one or two departments that can make a decision!"

Zhang Xingyang also nodded, indicating that he could understand.
