Technological Supremacy Chapter 442: In the afternoon, it will be a decisive battle against the Star Network!
North America, Florida, Cape Canaveral Space Station.
"Good afternoon, dear viewers! This is Huaxia TV International Channel." The beautiful hostess was standing in the corridor of the news center with a microphone in her hand, making a live broadcast to Huaxia, who was far away across the Pacific Ocean, "according to The latest news we have received is that Elon Musk, the White House’s new coordinator for scientific affairs, will hold a global press conference at Cape Canaveral in a few minutes to announce major North American initiatives in the aerospace field.”
There were not only reporters from China, but Musk, who has always been high-profile, made a big publicity, which attracted the attention of the whole world. According to the comments of many news analysts, this move was obviously aimed at Luo Jia.
From the perspective of communication, discourse is power, and public opinion and culture are the frontiers of wrestling between major powers. Luo Jia has her own live broadcast program and often holds new product launches in person. Since Musk has put himself in the In the position of marking Luo Jia, naturally, he also attaches great importance to the battlefield of public opinion.
"He's coming!"
"It's Musk, the real-life Iron Man!"
"With Musk's leadership, the North American scientific research community will not lose to those yellow-skinned monkeys!"
When Musk stepped onto the podium in a suit with a smile on his face, the barrage refreshed wildly.
In terms of popularity, Musk is a rare existence in the West who can confront Luo Jia head-on. Although Luo Jia has shown his sharpness in recent years, Musk is a veteran genius after all. He has been famous for many years and is a senior in the scientific research field. , has the reputation of the real version of Iron Man.
With a smile on his face, Musk slowly said in the midst of admiration and praise: "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Cape Canaveral. Today I am honored to stand here and present a The space development plan that is destined to shock the world, I will introduce it to everyone, and the name of this project is called Starlink!"
After Musk finished speaking, there was no expected warm applause at the scene, and people looked at each other in blank dismay, looking very puzzled.
Anyone who is familiar with the field of space development in North America will know that Starlink is not a new plan. The first launch was successful.
SpaceX used the Falcon 9 recyclable launch vehicle to send the first batch of 60 experimental satellites into a space orbit 550 kilometers above the ground. Among them, 3 satellites were out of control or semi-out of control, and the remaining 57 satellites were under control. operating normally.
On the way to a higher and stronger human being, setbacks are always inevitable. For the first launch of the Starlink project, three satellites were out of control, which made Musk very annoyed, but there is no doubt that if Starlink succeeds, it will It is the greatest epic plan in the history of human space!
According to the vision of the lunatic Musk, SpaceX will deploy 1,584 satellites in an orbit of 1,150 kilometers from the ground, and 2,825 satellites in an orbit of 1,110-1,325 kilometers.
The above 4409 satellites choose the Ku/Ka frequency band. Deploying these satellites in higher orbits can better achieve signal coverage.
Subsequently, 7,518 satellites will be deployed in orbits of 550-340 kilometers. These satellites will use the V-band. Deploying V-band satellites in lower orbits can achieve signal enhancement and more targeted services.
This is Starlink!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a milestone destined to be recorded in the history of human space. As many as 11,927 satellites will support the first in the history of the earth, the Interstellar Internet!
The Starlink project will seamlessly cover the whole world, allowing human beings to use fast communication and Internet services in the Antarctic, in the North Pole, on the top of the Himalayas, and in the depths of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.
Compared with the Starlink project, the existing maritime satellite system is simply weak, and it is not a product of the same era at all!
"What the hell? Didn't the Starlink project start a long time ago?"
"Yes, Musk announced the Starlink project as early as 2016, shouldn't he announce the same thing twice?"
"Strange press conference, please wait patiently."
People are wondering, the Starlink project is undoubtedly great, but even if it is a great project, it doesn't need to be released twice in a row, right? What the **** is this guy Musk doing?
With a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, Musk waved his hand backstage, and then saw the two founders of the Google Group, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, stepping onto the stage one after the other.
Their appearance caused a sensation. Although in recent years, Google has lost miserably in the continuous confrontation with Xingchen Technology, and its market value is only 30% of its peak period. Still one of the strongest technology companies on the planet.
After a brief greeting to the audience, Larry Page said seriously: "You may remember that we once had a Project Loon plan, using large hot air balloons with long-term airborne capabilities to form a giant balloon on the earth. Air Internet."
"Now, our ideals are still there, but the way I am afraid there will be some changes. Musk's Starlink project is obviously far stronger than our Project Loon, although admitting this makes me and Sergey very painful , but maybe it’s time for us to face the future, in the past few years, in the face of Star Technology’s aggressive offensive, Google has retreated and retreated.”
"But today, we stand here and officially announce that the Google Group will invest 10 billion US dollars, plus our aerial Internet technology, to participate in the Starlink project! Let's create a better tomorrow together!"
The speeches of the two founders of Google ended. When they stepped off the podium, the crowd burst into applause. Facts have already proved that in the face of the barbaric star technology, the powerful forces in the West must unite to fight.
Simultaneous implementation of the Starlink plan and the Project Loon plan is obviously a waste of resources. It is not that the two companies are united to make Starlink bigger.
Immediately afterwards, Musk invited an old opponent to the stage, the OneWeb Group headquartered in Florida, behind this group company, stood the British authorities, Virgin Group, Qualcomm, Airbus, Neon Softbank, Coca-Cola Wait, a large number of giants in the capital market.
Compared with Musk's SpaceX Group, OneWeb Group has more funds, and they have a huge advantage in technology, that is, inter-satellite laser communication technology, and OneWeb Group is the world leader.
With the chairman of OneWeb Group announcing to join the Starlink project, the West is completely boiling. It is not difficult for people with a discerning eye to see that Google's strength lies in the near-Earth space network, and OneWeb's strength lies in laser communication between satellites. In order to realize his own Ambition is gathering all the technological and financial advantages of the West and drawing a huge cake.
No one could have imagined that the third person who was invited to the stage by Musk was Bezos, the founder of Amazon Group.
As we all know, Bezos has always been Musk’s mortal enemy. He is much richer than Musk, and his ambition to enter space is no less than Musk. Musk has the rocket launch company SpaceX, and Bezos also has The famous rocket launch company, Blue Origin.
Musk has Starlink, the Starlink project, and Bezos received approval from the North American Federal Communications Administration on July 6, 2019 to formally form the Amazon Starnet.
In the first phase of Amazon Starnet, 3,236 communication satellites will be launched, occupying the three bands of ka, ku, and v. In the second phase, 12,308 communication satellites will be launched. By then, the scale of the Amazon Starnet project will surpass that of Malaysia. Sky's Starlink project.
Bezos stood on the stage, touched his bald head with his right hand, and announced a decision that shocked the world, "The Starnet project will be integrated with the Starlink project to jointly create a new generation of 6G network."
Boom~
After hearing what Bezos said, the audience fell silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What did Bezos just say? 6G?"
"Appears to be."
"What the hell! We haven't even used 5G yet, they are actually going to start building a 6G network!?"
"You idiots, our 5G technology is completely behind China, don't you know? If you want to maintain the advantage in the communication field, you must overtake in a curve! And this is also the usual method of Xingchen Technology. We will form Xingchen Network, let the world enter the 6G era directly!"
After a brief shock, there was a huge uproar and discussion.
Obviously, Bezos slipped up by mistake. Musk should have announced the news about the Internet of Stars and 6G, but Bezos took the lead.
Musk, who didn't seem to mind, patted Bezos on the shoulder, and Bezos apologized with a shrug.
Since the news has been announced in advance, the president of Boeing, which was the last to appear on the stage, wisely announced that Boeing Group has also joined the Starlink project in as simple a language as possible.
Boeing is the fourth company in North America preparing to set up a star network. The difference is that the number of satellites planned by Boeing Group is 2956 communication satellites, which is far less than that of Musk and Bezos, and only occupies the V-band.
So far, only Musk and Bezos' Star Network plan has been approved, and the other three have not yet passed the approval, but this does not prevent them from being united historically.
Google Group itself does not plan to launch communication satellites, and uses near-Earth network technology as a supplement and backup solution for star networking.
SpaceX Group plans to launch 11,943 communication satellites, occupying three bands of ka, ku, and v.
Boeing Group plans to launch 2956 communication satellites, occupying the V-band.
Amazon Group plans to launch 15,844 communication satellites, occupying ka, ku, and v bands.
OneWeb Group plans to launch 2,720 communication satellites, occupying ka, ku, and v bands.
Across North America, all the five major groups that have a clear plan to develop the Starlink network are historically united. If such a major event is not considered a milestone, I believe that history will never agree.
After the partners appeared one by one, Musk said in a joking tone: "I know that what you are most concerned about at the moment is definitely not us, but our opponents across the Pacific Ocean. This is normal, after all, it has risen rapidly over the past few years The Star Technology Group has brought us too much trouble, which is still fresh in everyone's memory."
"In fact, Huaxia does have a star network plan."
After listening to Musk's words, all the western reporters at the scene pricked up their ears. Because the suppression by Xingchen Technology in recent years has been too miserable, the reporters habitually shouted ten times as soon as they heard the word Huaxia. Dichotomous spirit.
Musk said with a smile: "Huaxia Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation has a Hongyun project plan to launch 156 satellites. In addition, Huaxia Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has a Hongyan Constellation Project. Launch 300 satellites."
"Other than that, nothing else."
Boom~
The Western reporters were stunned at first, and then burst out laughing.
"Isn't it? Huaxia plans for this?"
"It's normal~IndoMTL.com~ Huangpihou is full of confidence in the 5G field, so he is not willing to invest in the Starlink network at all."
"Confidence? Very good, they will be more confident when our satellite network covers the entire earth's low-Earth orbit."
The reporters ridiculed one after another. Musk saw that the reporters from Huaxia were silent, and their faces were ashen, but they were powerless to refute. Indeed, Huaxia has no large-scale development plan for the star network. Both plans are experimental in nature.
Musk reached out his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said in a joking tone: "First, we are absolutely crushing China in terms of aerospace, space exploration, star network, Mars colonization and other projects!"
Wow~
The applause came like a tidal wave. Whether the reporters present or the audience watching the live broadcast at home, they were all deeply encouraged by Musk's domineering speech.
After a pause, Musk suddenly stretched out his right arm and pointed to the east.
"Secondly, I would like to ask Starlink Network, which is known as the number one in East Asia, can you afford it!?"
