Rebirth in America
Chapter 172 Satellite Science Popularization
The Interstellar Technology Rocket Research Institute welcomed a group of special guests on this day.
This group of guests is different from the government investigators who came a few days ago. They carry heavy camera equipment on their shoulders and are led by Alex himself.
"This is the heart of our research institute! Look, this is the fastest supercomputer in the world! Well, it should be the first generation 3 already!" Alex pointed to the machine with flashing lights in front of him and looked at the camera said.
The person following him is the program recording team of ABC TV station. He will only lead it this time. In the next few days, he plans to let the program director produce a program alone. He had already thought of a name for this program, and it was called "American Artificial Moon"!
With such a famous name, even if you are not interested, you will still take a few glances. As long as he looks at it, he is confident that he will attract people firmly. He even wanted to sell this program to the Soviet Union, but he was worried that the U.S. government would not approve it.
To Von Bryan and others, this is nonsense. Rocket and satellite technology is the most advanced technology. It allows people to come in and take photos of whatever they want and ask whatever they want. What secrets are there then?
He raised objections to Alex more than once: "Alex, if you continue like this, our technology will be leaked!"
Every time Alex said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, they won't be able to see anything! Don't worry, not everyone is as good as you! After the filming is completed, I will ask them to cut out some key parts." The footage was kept so that the Soviet spies could see it in a fog!"
"But……"
"It's okay! I've always been very measured. Now we're not afraid of being understood. We're afraid that no one will know. As soon as this program is broadcast, the attention of all Americans will be focused here. Do you think I want to see it. Once our rocket is successfully launched, it will be such an honor!"
Von Bryan was not so confident. He asked rhetorically: "What if the launch fails? Wouldn't it be like being laughed to death by others like the Navy? I heard that the Navy later fired dumb bombs several times. Fortunately, they covered it up well, otherwise they would have been laughed at. Lose your teeth!"
After hearing this, Alex sighed and said, "Then let me ask you, how confident are you that you can successfully launch?"
Brian Feng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your computer simulation is indeed quite useful. If you can grasp it, I estimate it is only 50-60%!"
Alex chuckled and said: "Only 50% or 60% sure? You are too conservative! Let me tell you. If I am not 100% sure about something, I won't be so high-profile! The more high-profile you see me, the more You should have more confidence!"
Von Bryan was a little surprised. He looked at Alex and asked, "Do you think this launch can be 100% successful?"
"Hehe!" Alex nodded his head and said, "Of course. Under the calculation of my genius' brain, this launch will definitely be successful. As long as there is no interference from external factors!"
What he means is that in the mental space, the launch of the von Bryan puppet simulation has been successful three times in a row. There is no reason why it would fail in the real world. Both theory and reality are consistent with the results of his brain simulation. The so-called external interference does not rule out the influence of human factors or changes in celestial phenomena.
Human factors aspect. He took into account espionage, sabotage, and so on. As long as the security work is done well, these can basically be eliminated.
Changes in the celestial phenomena, that is, meteors falling directly during launch, etc. This chance is so small that it can almost be ruled out.
The predecessor Tesla was able to develop it in his brain and then use it. Alex believed that he was hundreds of times better than Tesla, and he put so much energy into it. I don't believe it can't be done.
After von Brian mentioned it several times, he saw that Alex was confident, so he stopped persuading him. He can only do his best to do his job and minimize all accidents.
After working with Alex, Feng Brian had a better understanding of his character and knew that once he was determined on something, he would never be able to persuade him to come back.
At the same time, von Brian was also very surprised by Alex's knowledge, thinking that Alex was equal to him in many aspects. He was even much stronger in some aspects. He had heard before that Alex had a high IQ. At that time, he was a little disapproving, but now he slowly started to believe this rumor.
Otherwise, where would Alex have the time to learn so many things? A person's energy is limited, and it took a long time for Von Bryan to become an authoritative figure in the rocket field.
However, Alex not only made achievements in rockets, but also made achievements in other aspects, especially satellites. Feng Brian himself knew something about it but was not proficient in it. Alex was able to design satellites himself and lead the satellite manufacturing work. At this point, Von Bryan is far behind.
The people at abc radio station were very clever. They put together a rough episode of the program that day. People at the TV station also know that people across the country are now paying attention to their country's rocket research. When everyone opens the newspaper, they see reports related to rockets.
Other TV stations also want to do similar programs, but those people don't have the conditions. Not every TV station can have such a good opportunity to go into the Rocket Research Institute for filming. Even though some TV stations have produced some rocket-related programs, they are all shoddy videos and not worth mentioning at all.
As soon as Alex's idea was put forward, the people from ABC TV station immediately sent out the best team as if they had a shot of chicken blood. They had long wanted to film a program like this, but the opportunity suddenly fell from the sky.
"Yeah! This section needs to be deleted and replaced with other clips." Alex looked at the preliminary edited tape and told them clearly which parts could be played, which parts should be deleted, etc.
After having the first episode as a demonstration, Alex planned to hand over to the program director. He said: "In the future, your programs will follow this as a model and do not broadcast those sensitive contents. Be careful of Soviet spies." do you know?"
The program director and the photographers nodded quickly, knowing that this matter was no joke. If the US government accidentally discovers that their program leaked rocket technology, they will suffer a lot.
In fact. Alex is not afraid of leaking secrets. His biggest secret is in his head, and no one can get it. If the Soviet Union can gain something from the things put out in the Rocket Research Institute, that's nothing. At most, it will allow the Soviet Union to avoid detours and allow the world's aerospace technology to develop earlier.
In this case, the Soviet Union will put more pressure on the United States, and Alex can also benefit from it. If the United States overwhelmed the Soviet Union at once, the Soviet Union would never be able to stand up again. Then Alex is still doing shit. The national government will definitely no longer provide strong support, and resources and talents will not be tilted in the direction of aerospace research. Once such a situation occurs, it will be really boring.
The first episode of "American Artificial Moon" was quickly broadcast on ABC TV. Once this program was broadcast, it immediately aroused a huge response from American audiences. Since TV stations in this era had limited coverage, many Americans only learned about this program from newspapers. They called TV stations in their area to ask when "American Artificial Moon" would be broadcast.
The audience doesn't care whether the program is produced by ABC or NBC or any other television station, they just want to see this TV program early.
Some viewers even yelled on the phone: "I don't care whether you have the copyright to this TV show or not. I just want to ask if you can broadcast it and when. If not, tell us as soon as possible!"
Some viewers also suggested to the TV station: "Why don't you make a show like this! What? Can't make it? What kind of bad TV station are you? You can't even make a show like this!"
Alex really grasped the American psychology of this era, especially after experiencing the failure of the US Navy rocket launch, everyone wanted to know whether American rocket technology was inferior to the Soviet Union.
In a TV show. Of course, I will not directly disparage the rocket technology of the U.S. Navy, but realistically analyze why Soviet rockets have taken off several times. But American rockets have never been able to fly.
Americans who went through popular science learned that rocket technology has a very long history. As early as ancient times, the Chinese used similar principles to create a war weapon. Modern rockets were developed based on the research of German Nazi scientists. However, the Soviet Union successfully launched into space first, and the United States was just a little unlucky.
At the same time, they learned in the program that Interstellar Technology Company was about to launch a rocket into space, and the satellite carried by this rocket was not the short-lived artificial satellite of the Soviet Union. This satellite will be used as a communication satellite. It will fly to the geostationary orbit and serve as a radio communication relay station, able to collect various signals from the ground and then spread them to other places.
A man dressed as a scientist stood in front of the blackboard and drew a schematic diagram of the earth and satellites: "The signal coverage area of this satellite is particularly large. One geostationary orbit communication satellite can cover 40% of the earth's surface. Only 3 are needed Evenly distributed satellites can cover the entire earth."
He paused, and then continued: "It can enable any ground, sea, and air communication stations in the coverage area to communicate with each other at the same time. Three geostationary communication satellites distributed at equal intervals above the equator can achieve the goal of eliminating the polar parts. Global communications outside the region.”
The American viewers watching the TV were all watching the TV attentively. Their horizons suddenly expanded, looking from the ground to space. In this professional and interesting program, everyone gained the knowledge they have always wanted to know and at the same time stimulated a stronger desire for knowledge.
After the program aired, ABC TV station was bombarded with calls. There were all kinds of callers, including viewers and people from other TV stations. The audience wants to know more about the program, and people from other TV stations want to get the rights to broadcast the program.
Some viewers asked: "When will the next episode be broadcast?"
Some viewers also want to know: "When will the first episode be re-broadcast? I want to introduce it to my friends."
Some viewers are asking: "I heard that Interstellar Technology Company is going to launch a rocket. When will your TV station broadcast it?"
As for people from other TV stations, they were more direct. They came up and said: "Please let us know how much the broadcast rights will cost as soon as possible!"
The person in charge of ABC TV station was overjoyed by this situation. He did not expect that just the first episode of the program would cause such a big response. The ratings would suddenly increase a lot, and the advertising expenses would also rise.
At the urging of the person in charge of the TV station, the program staff who had already lived in the Rocket Research Institute worked overtime overnight to edit the second episode. It was taken directly to the TV station for broadcast without even a slight delay on the road.
After seeing that the program was on track, Alex let it go and left it to the program team to fiddle with. He has too many things to do now, not only to check every part to be installed on the rocket, but also to test the assembled communication satellite.
The satellite had already been assembled and initially tested, but in order to ensure that no accidents occurred, Alex was still personally responsible for this part of the work. At least he should lead the testing work, lest there be no problem with the rocket and the satellite is sent up, only to find that it cannot be used. That would be a real failure!
At present, the satellite is working well and the problems that have arisen have been solved one by one. They are all minor and insignificant problems. This satellite was designed by him personally and was manufactured based on the data of many later satellites.
For example, if you have no experience with the frequencies used in satellite communications, you will have to start from scratch. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Early rocket and satellite technology was stuck at this point for a long time. Only after the communication problem was completely solved, aerospace research could really take off.
Based on the knowledge of later generations, Alex knew that the frequencies used in satellite communications include c frequency, ku frequency, ka frequency, l frequency, and other frequencies such as uhf, s, x, q, v, etc.
Among them, the c frequency is relatively abundant in terms of resources, but it is easily affected by ground interference, the antenna diameter is large, and it is not affected by the weather. KU frequency resources are very tight and are not easy to interfere with. The antenna diameter is small, and the beam is relatively narrow when the earth station and antenna are fixed. In E-connection weather conditions such as dense clouds, dense fog, and heavy rain, the signal loss is large.
Alex clearly understands the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of each frequency, so he can design appropriate satellite functions well and avoid interference from certain external factors.
The satellite communications he designed have the characteristics of long communication distance, large capacity, good quality, high reliability, strong confidentiality, good survivability, flexibility and maneuverability. It can be called a mature product, and there is no need to spend time exploring it, just use it for commercial use.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to end the test and prepare for launch, the U.S. Navy actually sent someone over to give him instructions. (To be continued...)
