Chapter 272 The Prelude to the 6G Era

Chapter 272 The prelude to the 6G era

Lu Zixin nodded and said, "We will send the orbital data of the test satellite later, I hope we can cooperate happily."

"You can rest assured that rocket launches are no better than other industries, and there is no room for mistakes. What's more, it is the first time that our company has received such a large order, and we will definitely complete the launch goal with all our strength!" Zeng Rui assured.

This batch of launch orders from Hongxin can be said to be rare in the world. A rocket launch costs hundreds of millions of Chinese coins. Since their recoverable rocket technology is still immature, the cost of each launch is directly cumulative.

Even for the most basic 48 small satellites, the launch cost is close to 5 billion, which is not a problem. If the number of satellites continues to increase, the cost and number of launching rockets will continue to rise.

In fact, Lu Zixin really wanted Hongxin to study rocket technology too. It would be great if he could build an aerospace plane that could be used for repeated space transportation, but unfortunately he doesn't have the energy at all right now.

Hongxin's machinery industry has just reached the stage of researching electric vehicles, and aerospace technology is still far behind. As for the technology of small satellites, in fact, it is mainly mobile communication technology, not mainstream aerospace technology.

From the research and development of the sky star to the launch, it cannot be completed in a few days. During this period, Hongxin made a simple market adjustment.

Shelved the original plan to enter the US market and did not seek cooperation with third-party sales platforms in the United States for the time being. At the same time, it has not entered the European market, but is consolidating the domestic market and the island market, and developing the market in East Asia.

In addition, the main research direction of Hongxin Electronic Technology has also turned to hardware upgrades.

If the 6G communication network is successfully deployed, some existing hardware and network facilities will have to be upgraded to adapt to the 6G communication network.

Among them, the smart chip is a key!

The previous Red Core chips were used by Red Letter Company themselves. Only Rice Company paid a certain amount of patent fees and purchased the Red Core generation chips from Red Letter.

And other manufacturers of mobile phone products or smart products basically use chips from foreign manufacturers. For example, Qualcomm in the United States has mastered the core technology of 4G networks, so many domestic mobile phone manufacturers must purchase Qualcomm's mobile phone chips.

When using Qualcomm's chips, you must pay a high patent licensing fee, which once reached 5% of the product's selling price, plus hardware costs, adaptation costs, etc., nearly 20% of the price of a mobile phone is taken by Qualcomm Go, this ratio is even higher than the manufacturer's own profit from the product!

This is to use technology to make Huaxia manufacturers become their "workers" and make money for them.

Qualcomm, the US company, has an annual revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars in the Huaxia market. Therefore, Huaxia has also conducted an anti-monopoly investigation on it, but with little success.

In addition to Qualcomm, there are giants such as Apple and Samsung that charge high patent fees through similar technological monopolies. Manufacturers all over the world can only endure silently, but if Hongxin launches 6G network and 6G chips, everything will change!

At that time, not only the telecommunications industry will change, other mobile phone brands will not be able to use the 6G chip technology of Hongxin, nor will they be able to use the 6G network. Therefore, whether it is Qualcomm or Broadcom, or Samsung or Apple, they will have to pay a high patent fee to Hongxin in turn to use the Red Core 6G chip.

...

A month later, at the Microsatellite Engineering Laboratory, the first Skystar small satellite was manufactured!

The beginning of everything is difficult. The first one is the most difficult to manufacture. As long as one is completely successful, the subsequent satellites can be replicated.

"This is the star in the sky!" Lu Zixin looked at the small satellite in front of him. It was a standard cube with a maximum side length of no more than three meters. It carried 6G mobile communication network devices and high-frequency signal transmitters and receivers.

On both sides of the small satellite are solar panels designed by Kunpeng Battery Factory, which are connected to high-energy-density lithium-air batteries specially designed for satellites, and can also be charged by solar energy. The battery design life is longer than that of the satellite.

The estimated service life of this kind of sky star is 15 years, which is already considered to be particularly long-lived in small satellites!

"How are the test results?" Lu Zixin asked.

The R&D staff replied: "Everything on the ground is normal, and the space operation test has not yet started."

Zhang Qiang replied: "There is no problem with the simulation operation. We are currently constructing ground base stations and manufacturing the second Sky Star. It is expected to complete a total of three Sky Star test satellites in half a month and a satellite within the range from the capital to the magic capital. The main ground signal receiving base station."

RI-8901's answer to Lu Zixin is relatively reassuring, because it is an industrial robot that has received Skynet data, and the error will be reduced to a minimum.

The satellite manufacturing plan and the launch plan are carried out at the same time. Aerospace Engineering Co., Ltd. has formulated the latest launch plan based on the orbit and satellite-related data provided by Hongxin.

Twenty-five days later, Huaxia Aerospace Engineering Co., Ltd. will use the latest self-developed commercial launch vehicle to send three Sky Star test satellites to low-Earth orbit, launching the first satellite-ground shrouded sixth-generation mobile rocket Communication Technology Test!

As soon as this news came out, the world's communications industry was all concerned! No one would have imagined that it would only be two months before the Huaxia Industry and Information Technology Department approved the Skynet plan, and the test of the Skystar satellite would begin!

This research and development efficiency makes people feel that they are not making satellites, but handicrafts!

The explanation given by Hongxin Group is that the relevant technology has already been perfected, and it is only in the process of perfecting the test.

In any case, the eyes of the whole world are on the three test satellites of the sky star. Once these three satellites are successfully operated, the pattern of the world's communications industry will change!

"Crazy! Are they crazy for conducting experiments so quickly?" Ladas, Texas, USA, AT&T, Gru saw the report, stood up and shouted.

If the sixth-generation mobile communication technology is really developed, the first thing that will be impacted is the telecom operators, especially AT&T, which is the top three telecom operators in the world!

"When we discussed cooperation with Hongxin, they never said this!" Gru said, "This must be a trick to fool people!"

In front of him was Tyler Walker, who was communicating in real time on the Internet. He said: "Dear Gru, you don't have to panic. I think this news is just a fake action used by Huaxia to protest. Not long ago, Mr. President just signed the They are very dissatisfied with the documents on increasing tariffs on Huaxia consumer electronics, so if they want to make trouble, we can just watch.”

"I also promised the chairman of the committee just now that if Hongxin can complete the sixth-generation communication technology in such a short time, I would rather become a woman! Hahaha, that's impossible!"
