A big country of aerospace with black technology

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

Basically to stay at the current idea stage.

But another big project, but there is great hope that it can officially start to advance.

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

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 works is only responsible for technical demonstrations, and at most professional advice on cost.

As for other aspects, don't worry about them.

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

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

Of course, those are the work after the official establishment of the entire low-orbit satellite communication network project.

Whether this project can be established now is still unknown.

After all, his technical prospects are not particularly clear. Whether such a radical technical route can work is a question.

Once it fails, the loss here is not a small number like one or two million, but hundreds of billions of funds!

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

In a very simply decorated living room, two people, one old and one young, sat facing each other.

The young man is naturally Zhang Xingyang, while the elder is the leader in charge of almost all industrial development directions in the country.

The successful establishment of a low-orbit satellite communication network project is inseparable from the support of this leader. As long as his support is obtained, then this matter will be much simpler.

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

Mingqian Longjing, the taste is not bad.

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

"Even if we don't develop now, after a few years when the ground base stations are saturated, 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 construction now, after all, the sooner you build, the easier it is to seize a better track!"

Zhang Xingyang swallowed a mouthful of warm tea, and continued:

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

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

"But you also understand that there are actually limits to good-quality orbits in outer space, especially near-Earth space."

"If we don't think about occupying now, then our children and grandchildren will pay a greater price to complete these construction work!"

Zhang Xingyang's words made Sun Hongtao, who has 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 technological development are basically still catching up with foreign advanced levels.

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

The only "Iridium" company that can be regarded as an explorer, the things they produced are not very good.

Therefore, Sun Hongtao had doubts about the feasibility of this technical route to a certain extent.

Such a technical prospect and engineering prospect are not very clear, and there are almost no projects that can rely on groping for reference.

Is it really worth the country investing a huge amount of manpower and material resources in exploration?

This question has been on Sun Hongtao's mind since he learned about this project.

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

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

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

"From a technical point of view, there's nothing particularly difficult about it."

"The main difficulties are two aspects, one is low-cost launch rockets, and the other is cost-effective communication satellites."

"Because the number of satellites required for successful construction is large, if the launch cost and satellite cost cannot be reduced, the entire project will consume more funds."

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

"The cost-effective communication satellite has not yet started the development work, but the technical difficulty here is not particularly difficult."

"And because the satellite communication network requires a huge number of satellites, such a large number of satellite R\u0026D and production will definitely allow our satellite industry to flourish."

"The satellite industry is pretty much the first step into space."

"Three hundred years ago, we already missed the ocean age, now, we can no longer miss the space age!"

Because it did not catch up with the first train of the ocean age, the navy of the Dragon Kingdom now has to pay several times the effort of those countries that developed in the early years if they want to develop.

After missing the space age, even if you put in dozens of times of effort, it will be difficult to establish it.

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

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

Sun Hongtao was somewhat persuaded at this time, for industrial people of his generation.

He came from nothing in the country, how much hardship he endured, how much hardship he suffered, he couldn't be more clear.

"Space Age, sounds really good!"

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

"There are many aspects involved in this matter, and we will have a special meeting to discuss it next week."

"Personally, I am very interested in this project, but it does not guarantee that everyone has the same point of view as me."

"You also understand that the funds and policies involved here are very important, and it can almost be regarded as a major event that determines 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.
