Jiangcheng, One Zero One Satellite Research Institute.

The official establishment of the low-orbit satellite communication network has made this unit, which was originally not well-known in the whole country, suddenly become a rising star in the eyes of everyone.

After all, the first phase of the satellite communication network project has invested 10 billion yuan, and the follow-up capital investment may reach hundreds of billions.

If this money leaks out a little, it will be enough for others to eat for a long time.

As a research and development unit of communication satellites, the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute can get more research and development funds.

However, this is only an outsider's opinion, after the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute received the development work of the satellite.

Basically, everyone in the institute has a pessimistic attitude.

After all, if they really want to reach the satellite performance indicators at the time of Sun Hongtao's official announcement, it is too difficult for them to have their current technical reserves.

For this reason, at the meeting of the initial construction of the entire satellite communication network, Zhong Zixin, director of the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute, which is responsible for the development of satellites, put forward the difficulties in satellite development:

"Old Chen, it's really not that I deliberately exaggerated the difficulties, it's really that the research institute doesn't have that much ability!"

Chen Zhongyan naturally also knows that there are many difficulties in developing communications satellites at the current level of technology in China.

Otherwise, the previous Satcom Company would not have faced all kinds of troubles and asked the Xiusi Company, which has a bad relationship with us, to develop communication satellites for us.

However, it is not impossible to say that with the current domestic technology, it is not impossible to develop a satellite that can be used, but there may still be a certain gap between the international advanced level and the performance of various aspects.

However, the gap between having and not is still quite large, even if it is only barely usable, it is not impossible.

But Chen Lao will not listen to the cry of the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute so simply, after all, everyone has a difficult place:

"If there is any difficulty, say it, maybe everyone will have a way to solve it for you!"

The above has estimated the current technical difficulty of this project, and it is very difficult to know that various technologies want to meet the standards.

Therefore, various support policies, or financial support, are very strong.

But as the director of the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute, Zhong Zixin actually knew the time of this project, and it didn't last long.

I don't really understand some of the situations here, so when I saw Chen Lao's words, I thought he was talking back, which was a little embarrassing.

"Or if I don't talk about it, we're not that sleepy."

"Just say what you want! What nonsense! Chen Zhongyan was not used to his temper at all, and said in a somewhat rushed tone.

Zhong Zixin also felt that he didn't seem to say no at this time, so he broke the jar and said:

"Old Chen, I don't know who came up with the plan for this satellite communication network."

"But from the point of view of our satellite research, this plan is really a layman!"

"There are so many low-orbit satellites, not to mention the possible orbital dangers, just the rocket capacity alone can't launch so many satellites in a year, right?!"

Hearing Zhong Zixin say this, Zhang Xingyang and Chen Zhongyan glanced at each other and laughed.

Zhong Zixin didn't know what dumb riddles these two people were playing, and he was a little confused, just when Zhong Zixin was still wondering if he had said something wrong.

Chen Zhongyan stopped laughing, calmed down his somewhat disordered breath and said:

"Let's let Dean Zhang, who is in charge of the rocket part of the entire system, explain this matter to you!"

Zhang Xingyang, who hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, took a deep breath:

"Director Zhong, please let me introduce to you the latest development achievement of our Rocket Research Institute, Hongyan No. 1!"

"Using an advanced liquid-fueled propulsion system with a take-off thrust of 1,210 tons, the carrying capacity of low earth orbit has reached 26 tons, and the entire first stage of the rocket can be recovered, which can minimize the cost of rocket launch."

"It is precisely because of the successful development of the Hongyan rocket that the above will agree to us to carry out the construction of the entire low-orbit satellite communication system."

The more Zhong Zixin listened, the wider his mouth opened, as if he was listening to some science fiction story, until Zhang Xingyang finished speaking, he was still stunned for more than ten seconds.

After a while, Zhong Zixin slowed down and said:

"Dean Zhang, are you sure you're not telling me some science fiction story?"

Zhang Xingyang naturally understands the shock in the hearts of those who have not seen the Hongyan rocket in the face of such an industrial miracle.

After smiling, he said: "Director Zhong, less than a month ago, we just sent two satellites weighing 3,700 kg and 3,000 kg respectively to SSTO orbit. ”

"I think you, as a satellite researcher, should be able to understand what this data means!"

Zhong Zixin certainly knows that the carrying capacity of the rocket for SSTO orbit is almost a quarter of that of low-earth orbit.

If the SSTO orbital carrying capacity of a rocket can reach 6,700 kilograms, then it is not difficult for it to reach 26,000 kilograms when launching low-earth orbit satellites.

Zhong Zixin slowly pushed his jaw, which was so shocked that it was about to dislocate, back into place.

In the face of such a successful rocket research institute, Zhong Zixin was a little embarrassed to talk about the hardships faced by his satellite research institute.

After all, in the face of difficulties, the Rocket Research Institute can make rockets that meet the requirements of the project, why can't your Satellite Research Institute?

Many times people live for a face.

In order not to lose face, Zhong Zixin had to lower his head a little ashamed and fell silent.

In the end, it was Chen Lao who spoke: "Then what kind of small family posture, if there is any suffering in the institute, we will put it forward, and we will solve it for you if we can solve it ourselves." ”

"It's really not good, I'll help you coordinate from above and help you solve it!"

Zhong Zixin didn't care much about face at this time, after all, he was quite determined to promote this project in this way.

It's not like you can hide from quails like this.

"Old Chen, it's not me complaining, you also know that our current technical reserves are like this, and they are still a big step away from the international advanced level."

"At present, we have deficiencies in signal compression, transmission, decoding and so on in various frequency bands."

"Moreover, judging from the final planning of the entire project, after the final project is completed, there will be up to 10,000 satellites in China, but it will have to handle the communication requests of so many people."

"How do you make a satellite have so much processing power?"

"These problems are difficult to solve by our satellite research institute alone!"
