Technology Bigshot Chapter 347: : “Tianqing System”]
The next day.
At dusk, on the rooftop of the ""-shaped office building of the Matrix Technology Headquarters, Ren Hong took off again by helicopter and left the company's headquarters, and the destination was Wenchang City.
Ren Hong went to Wenchang City because he received a notice of the first phase of the satellite launch.
The major sections of the "Virtual World" project each perform their own duties, and are proceeding smoothly step by step. In terms of content, B and the four top game developers and a studio are in full swing into the production stage, and the hardware laying has also not fallen behind, and everything is implemented according to plan.
It has been nearly half a year since Zhang Han's trip to Canada in April, Ren Hong's trip to Seattle in May, after this year's China-US Entrepreneur Roundtable, Matrix Technology and the US space exploration technology company p, Laura Space Systems and Bell Labs in the United States, the first phase of the satellite laying mission will be completed at the end of this year.
The first stage of laying out the "virtual network" starts from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, and the first stage of the launch mission will officially start around 2100 this evening.
Ren Hong also attached great importance to this first phase of the launch. When he received the news, he put down other affairs and came to the launch site in person. The project of "Virtual World" has put too much effort into him. Time, manpower, material resources, and financial resources are unprecedented, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.
"Associate Director Kai! Hello."
"Mr. Ren, it's a pleasure to meet you! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
At this moment, the eastern hemisphere has entered the moonlit night, but the Wenchang launch command center is brightly lit, and all the staff abide by their positions. There are still the last 30 minutes, and the launch is about to start. Tension, the thing launched this time is too expensive, so expensive that no one can afford it, and there is not even the slightest error.
"The satellite launch is about to start, let's go to the dome observation room." Deputy Director Kai smiled, facing Ren Hong very enthusiastically.
Matrix Technology is a favorite in the national aerospace field and even in global aerospace business activities. Nine of the world's top ten aerospace companies are full of envy, jealousy and hatred that "Laura Space Systems" can take over a super fat order from Matrix Technology. The object of envy of the nine aerospace companies is also There is "Space Exploration Technology Company p", and Elon Musk is even more hated by them. He was already squeezing the share of the launch market. Now he sees that p has won the launch order from Matrix Technology, except for those with Apart from his irrelevant dollar drool, he can only secretly regret that he was too unlucky to be favored by Matrix Technology.
Obviously, the orders released by Matrix Technology are not ordinary fat. He wanted to give all the launch orders to the National Space Administration, but he could only eat half of them.
But even if it's half, for Deputy Director Kai, it's a pity that he can't eat all the snacks.
Ren Hong handed nearly half of the orders to the National Space Administration this time. The orders worth nearly 200 billion yuan are undoubtedly a dose of stimulant, which greatly stimulated the commercialization of the entire National Space Administration in the aerospace industry. An order from Science and Technology almost exceeded the total cost of commercial launch services in the past, and Deputy Director Kai had no reason not to be enthusiastic about Ren Hong.
In the eyes of outsiders, the current Matrix Technology can be said to throw the banknotes wherever they go. Which company or institution has a red face after contacting the Matrix Technology. This is a proper real local tyrant, God of Wealth!
Observe the room.
Ren Hong and Deputy Director Kai stood side by side in front of the window glass. The launch site in the distance, a huge carrier rocket standing on the ground, was very eye-catching under the illumination of the lights in the dark night, and in the far distance There are many local residents and even reporters in the peripheral area to observe and take pictures.
People living around are very familiar with this situation. This situation means that another rocket is about to take off. Every time the Wenchang Launch Center launches a rocket, it will be surrounded by people. In other words, when the rocket was launched into the sky, it was like a spectacle that shook the sky and the earth.
Deputy Director Kai pointed to the rocket on the launch site and said: "This is my country's latest generation launch vehicle, the Long March 9 series A-class launch vehicle, with a diameter of 9.7 meters, a height of 118 meters, and a take-off mass of 2,890 tons. The capacity can reach 170 tons, the carrying capacity of high-altitude orbit can reach 136 tons, and objects up to 70 tons can be sent to geosynchronous orbit.”
Ren Hong nodded silently, and the Deputy Director Kai was very proud when he said this series of data, "The Long March 9-series A-class launch vehicle has reached a world-class leading level, surpassing the famous Apollo spacecraft in all aspects. of the American Saturn series of launch vehicles.”
The "Long March 9 Series A" carrier rocket also has an impressive record. The only super space station "Tianzhou" currently in orbit was launched with this series of carrier rockets. So far, there has been no accident. It is recognized by the world as one of the safest launch vehicles in the world.
The upcoming "Long March 9 Series A" carrier rocket will carry satellites up to 68 tons into a synchronous orbit 36,000 kilometers away from the earth.
Strictly speaking, this big guy with an actual mass of up to 68 tons is not a real satellite. This scary mass is comparable to a spacecraft or a small space station.
Actually, it has its own official name "Tianqing System".
This launch is "Tianqing-1". In the next half month, "Tianqing-2" and "Tianqing-3" will be sent to geosynchronous orbit, so as to achieve Covering the global virtual network skeleton.
Each component of the "Tianqing System" is the world's top equipment and equipment, which contains the technological crystallization of more than 20 high-tech companies including Matrix Technology, which is beyond doubt. If the world's first super quantum computer located at the headquarters of Matrix Technology is the parent body of the "virtual world", then the three "Tianqing systems" that will be sent into space are the daughter bodies.
The reason why the "Tianqing system" has reached an amazing mass of nearly 70 tons is that a quantum computer provided by a Canadian company responsible for the design occupies nearly 40 of the mass and 55 of the main space. "Tianqing System" is a transit station and a temporary reserve of temporary data centers responsible for connecting users and terminals around the world. It is known as a "sub-body". A quantum computer is one of the essential cores. In addition, Space signal remote sensing, photon signal data and quantum data conversion, anti-electromagnetic pulse defense system, and so on. "Tianqing System" covers more than 30 cutting-edge technologies for human beings, which can be said to be the essence of cutting-edge technology.
The construction cost of the three major "Tianqing systems" has reached $68 billion of the $500 billion budget of the entire "virtual world" project, which is almost twice the cost of more than 200 other satellites. In the future, Matrix Technology In the outer space of the earth, there are assets of nearly 100 billion US dollars.
With such a high cost, the safest and most stable and reliable launch vehicle in the world must be used. Otherwise, if the launch fails, even Ren Hong will bleed.
"It's the last minute of the launch countdown." Deputy Director Kai, who accompanied Ren Hong in the observation room, said. His expression was extremely solemn. When he said this, he didn't even look at Ren Hong, but kept his eyes fixed Staring at the incomparably large launch vehicle on the launch site.
This time the launch mission was directed and led by the director himself. Deputy director Kai also led many launch tasks, and even once led the launch task of the third-level expansion of the "Tianzhou" space station. Deputy director Kai did not have any today. Leading the launch mission was more nerve-racking than ever before.
To be continued, to be continued.
