Chapter 531: Everyone Shocked

Chapter 531: Everyone Shocked

On the morning of April 3, 2016,

Mu Yang came to BJ by private plane.

At two o'clock in the afternoon that day, he came to a mysterious manor by car. Under the leadership of his secretary, he came to a Chinese-style courtyard and met the boss in the living room. Mu Yang referred to him as the second boss.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides sat facing the tea table.

After Mu Yang drank tea and moistened his throat, he asked loudly:

"Leader, what do you think of the Ugly Country Musk's Starlink project?"

After thinking for a while, the boss said: "This is like having countless flies buzzing on your head, but you can't drive them away, and you can't slap them to death. It's very helpless.

If the number is too large, there will be countless eyes watching you. No matter what you are doing, I will tell you blatantly that I am spying on you. Our secrets will not have any secrets on the surface. "

As soon as the words finished, Mu Yang couldn't help laughing and said: "The metaphor of the leader is really humorous, but the meaning is the same, and it is really annoying."

"Oh, listen to what you mean, do you have a solution?" The leader smiled, thoughtfully, and asked in another way.

"Yes, but it's too expensive."

"It's probably not a small amount that you can say is expensive. It's definitely not three to five billion yuan. How much will it cost?"

"No less than 50 billion yuan. We can solve the money problem. I worry that some state-owned enterprises may not be happy for us to do that."

"No less than 50 billion!

Why is it so expensive? "

Mu Yang's words surprised the boss, his eyebrows were raised, and he asked: "And you spent money, how did you get involved in a state-owned enterprise?"

Mu Yang said: "The production of 20,000 small satellites requires at least 50 billion yuan in production costs. If launch costs and other costs are included, it is estimated to be 100 billion yuan.

Musk's space exploration company SpaceX has their Starlink, and I also want to build a Starlink, which means the same thing, whoever occupies the space near-orbit resources first, then whose is it, we can occupy the resources first, then No more for them.

Starnet is a communication satellite and will have global communication services, so it will definitely compete with domestic telecommunications companies for business. "

Xinghai Group also wants to engage in Starlink!

The boss became more and more shocked when he heard it. Like Mu Yang said, the average cost of a satellite is two to three million yuan, which is reasonable.

If this plan is given to the Guo family, the Guo family will definitely not do it this way, it will be too expensive.

"Hey, it's reasonable for you to say that, let's put aside the matter of the telecommunications company and let's not talk about it first, it's easy to solve, and we'll discuss it later.

How much money do you need to spend every year to build this star network to join the space competition, not to mention spending so much money? Satellites always have a lifespan, and maintenance is expensive. "

Mu Yang said slowly: "The one-time investment in the early stage is hundreds of billions of yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost in the future will not be less than 10 billion yuan.

Now the Xinghai Group has invested tens of billions of dollars in aerospace development. We have solved the rocket recovery technology. The carrying capacity of Xingkong-1 to LEO is no less than 100 tons, and one arrow can carry two to three hundred tons. The cost of launching a small satellite is not high, estimated at 10 million yuan per launch. "

"Wait, Mr. Mu... You have too much information, let me clear my mind." The boss was shocked by Mu Yang's words again.

Mu Yang smiled in embarrassment, poured a cup of tea for the leader, and then picked up the cup to taste the tea. I have to say that the Dahongpao tea served by the leader is really good.

This Dahongpao should have belonged to the old tree.

Mu Yang had heard of Dahongpao, the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, which was worth 10,000 yuan per gram.

Perhaps what he is currently drinking is not from the mother tree, but it is certainly not ordinary.

After a while, the boss asked seriously: "Your Xingkong-1 rocket is the rocket currently announced. Its carrying capacity can reach more than 100 tons, and it also has recovery technology, so its launch cost can be as low as Ten million dollars, right?"

Mu Yang also said seriously: "Yes, the theoretical maximum carrying capacity can reach 200 tons, and the geosynchronous orbit is 90 tons. This is mainly due to our rocket engine Xinghuo-1, which has a large thrust and saves fuel.

It can be said that it is the world's top engine, and its carrying capacity is about ten times that of other rockets.

As for the launch cost, it is very cheap due to the rocket recovery technology.

We have gone through more than a dozen launch tests, and we are going to launch into low-Earth orbit after a while. After the satellite is developed, we can actually launch it.

Judging from the current situation, progress is relatively smooth.

We purchased a large amount of raw materials for satellites, but because some scarce raw materials are difficult to buy, we need the help of experts. Moreover, this star network plan still needs the approval of experts. "

"Tsk tsk, amazing!"

The boss couldn't help but gave Mu Yang a thumbs up and praised,

"No wonder, there is such a big difference from the information disclosed by your company. If Western countries know about your technical capabilities and are fooled, they will really be furious. No wonder you want to keep it a secret, and you should keep it a secret.

Your information is too shocking, wait a moment, I will make a call and ask other leaders to come and give advice. As for the requirements and concerns you mentioned, they are nothing.

In this way, the aerospace technology of Guo's family is really far behind. "

After the boss finished speaking, it was fortunate that Mu Yang belonged to Hua Country, otherwise, the space resources would really be nothing to Hua Country.

Let Mu Yang move freely, he called the other leaders himself, and did not shy away from Mu Yang being by his side.

"Leader, there is an urgent matter, very urgent, which will affect the fate of the country, um, let's come together, others are waiting, here in Xiyuan..."

"Stay at home, it's urgent, come to Xiyuan, the leader is here."

I even made several phone calls, asking everyone at home to come over.

This matter directly affects Guo's family strategy, so he cannot make the decision alone.

Mu Yang didn't want to answer the phone, so he stood up and admired the antique collections in the living room, most of which were porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. A leader, but has been placed here.

After the boss finished making the phone call, he saw Mu Yang admiring the art collection, and said with a gentle smile, "If you like anything, you can take two, and I can still make the decision."

"Forget it, I have quite a few of them, I don't really like them, even if I look at them occasionally, I actually don't understand." Mu Yang waved his hand and refused.

Seeing the leader finish the phone call, sit down and drink tea with him.

"These old objects have been kept here, and I don't really understand." The boss said,

"Mr. Mu, please wait a moment, your matter is too important."

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." Mu Yang smiled easily.

The boss asked curiously: "From the information I got, your Xingkong-1 rocket uses a one-stage rocket, not a multi-stage rocket. Is there any mystery in it?"

He has some understanding of rocket knowledge. Before he went to the rocket launch base for investigation, and this is also the top technology of the Guo family. As an upper echelon, he needs to understand a little bit, but he doesn't understand it deeply.

Mu Yang patiently explained: "The main reason is that our Xinghuo-1 rocket engine is different from the current rocket engines of other countries. We use a full-flow staged combustion cycle. The fuel uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The unit energy is high, and the reaction is intense. The rate is very high.

Of course, the requirements for the engine are very strict, with high pressure and high temperature, even stricter than the afterburning turbofan engine XH-AN05-01J used by Jun, and it will explode directly if it fails.

The full-flow staged combustion cycle is not our first initiative, but we are the first to be able to apply it to liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, which has high requirements on manufacturing and materials. "

"Oh, that's it, I see."

The leader listened carefully. He didn't quite understand the principle of the full flow staged combustion cycle, but he could understand others.

Regardless of whether it is an aircraft or a rocket, the engine is the core component.

"What about rocket recovery? It's hard to achieve, right? I haven't heard of any GUO company that has this technology."

"Yes, first of all, it has very high requirements on the rocket engine, and it must be able to fine-tune its thrust. Secondly, it is the control system. This is a very complicated algorithm. Our GUO family may be stuck in these two aspects. .”

The boss casually asked about some rocket technology, asked for advice seriously, and learned a lot of knowledge.

He needs to know something about Xingkong No. 1 rocket and Starnet of Xinghai Group before he can make a judgment. Even if he believes in Mu Yang, he must find out about this matter, and don't agree to Mu Yang's request without knowing anything. , This is irresponsible to the Guo family.

When the day is more suitable, he plans to visit the site again.

The two chatted freely, the secretary in the middle brought some snacks, Mu Yang tasted it, and felt very good.

About ten minutes later, a big boss arrived.

About half an hour later, all the bosses came one by one, saw Mu Yang, and both sides greeted warmly.

"Mr. Mu, although I haven't seen you for a long time, I have been following the progress of Xinghai Group. I can't imagine how long it will take you to come up with a top-notch technology that surprises us. Congratulations." The big boss said.

"Thank you for your concern."

After exchanging pleasantries, the big boss saw that everyone was here, looked at the second boss, and said, "The second boss called me just now, saying that there is something very important, and it is inconvenient to communicate on the phone. Now that everyone is here, let's start now. "

At this time, their living room was heavily guarded outside, and not a single fly could fly in.

When the big boss came in, he told the guards that no matter who came, he was not allowed to come in.

"Mr. Mu is the one who started talking about this matter. Let me briefly talk about it first, and Mr. Mu will add more later." The second boss said.

Then, he gave a general overview: "Everyone should know that Xinghai Group is currently developing rockets, and has achieved great results so far."

The maximum carrying capacity of its Xingkong-1 rocket can reach 200 tons, reaching geosynchronous orbit is 90 tons, which is nearly ten times higher than that of Western GUOs.

In this way, one arrow can have multiple stars, it can be tens of stars, or even hundreds of stars.

This is one;

Xinghai Group has also solved the rocket recovery technology, reducing the cost of rocket launch to an extremely low level, which is the second.

Each of these two technologies is far superior to its peers.

This achievement, I think everyone should know what it means. It can build a larger space station and launch more satellites. At the same time, it can be applied to other fields, and its value is difficult to estimate. Said to fly straight into the sky.

Based on the above technologies, Xinghai Group is preparing to launch a project similar to Starlink, called Starnet, and plans to launch 20,000 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit within a month or two to occupy space resources.

Of course, the role of Xingwang is definitely not limited to this. I have outlined this point, Mr. Mu, there is nothing wrong with what I just said, right? "

"No, what the leader said is true." Mu Yang nodded.

Hearing Mu Yang's confirmation, the leaders were shocked, unbelievable, and showed surprise expressions.

Individual leaders, with surprise shining in their eyes, fell into extreme shock.

This is really the invention of the century!

It is also a blessing to the GUO family!

According to what the second boss said, since then, under the leadership of Xinghai Group, Huaguo Aerospace has directly become the number one in the world, and it has far surpassed other countries, making it difficult for countries, including Ugly, to come close.

The second boss saw everyone's surprised expressions, and he couldn't help laughing. When he first heard what Mu Yang said, he had the same expressions. Now it's really rare to see everyone's expressions like this.

This young man probably made everyone like this once or twice.

In the past few decades, everyone has seen a lot of ups and downs, and even experienced it personally. There are not many things that can make them lose their composure.

The big boss stared blankly for a while, calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and asked: "Mr. Mu, can you talk about the role of the star network, if I'm not wrong, the star network should be more than just a communication satellite, right? "

Mu Yang said neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes, let me start with the future war.

In my opinion, the future mode of war should be an unmanned war. In addition to economic war, cultural aggression, and information war, it should be embodied in network informatization, integration, and intelligence.

Among them, leaders should be familiar with the drone swarm model, which is low-cost and fast... and drone control relies on ground information and artificial intelligence.

The satellite network uses satellites in the sky as base stations to achieve full coverage of the entire earth, making up for the lack of ground communications, making the communication network no longer affected by terrain such as mountains, oceans, polar regions and bad weather. Interference and anti-hijacking capabilities will also be greatly improved.

It can be said that Starnet has a full-dimensional, all-weather, all-time three-dimensional reconnaissance and surveillance system, and the battlefield has one-way transparency to it.

The Starlink satellite network also has telemetry and tracking functions for aircraft, as well as the ability to automatically change orbits...

It can be said that as long as you have the battlefield information, you will have the initiative and mobility. To defeat the opponent, you must first destroy the opponent's satellite. Without satellites, you are blind..."

Mu Yang spoke eloquently, and also described his general plan, in order to ask for the support of the Guo family, and the leaders listened carefully.

After Mu Yang finished speaking, the big boss said: "We have also discussed the Starlink issue against the ugly country before, and we have never thought of a solution. When I saw it, Ugly Country had nothing to say.

However, the other party has done a lot of shameless things.

You are also aware of this, keep it secret for the time being, and plan to launch it in a concentrated manner. This plan is advisable, and the GUO family will definitely support it unconditionally. "

"Mr. Mu, what technical level can your company's satellite technology achieve at present? Do you need the support of experts?" A leader asked.

"I've never been worried about Xinghai Group's technology, including satellite technology. The Guo family should not be qualified. I'm not wrong, Mr. Mu." The second boss smiled happily.

"The leadership is overrated. Xinghai Group is only able to achieve its current development with the support of the Guo family. Our satellite, which I named Xingdou No. 1, is currently in the process of developing samples. It should come out after a while, and it should be at the top level in the world. Because I don't know the details of each country.

The panchromatic resolution is within 0.3 meters. I can roughly describe it. Its highest resolution is below 1 meter, and the bicycle can be seen clearly. "Mu Yang still said conservatively that Xingdou-1's full-color resolution reaches 0.05 meters, and he can see people's faces clearly, but he only wants to use it for himself at present and does not open it to anyone, including the GUO family. It is not wrong to have reservations at present.

After all, seeing people's faces clearly is indeed a little scary. It's true, no one's whereabouts can escape the tracking of Xingwang.

"It's very powerful. It's much more powerful than the Gaojing-1 currently under study. After all, Xingdou-1 is a small satellite."

The Gaojing-1 satellite has a panchromatic resolution of 0.5 meters and is scheduled to be launched by the end of this year. There is no need to hide it from Mu Yang, which is lower than other people's technology.

"We are all laymen with little knowledge, but I know that in the scientific research community, what looks like a little bit of data on the surface actually spans several generations."

"Xinghai Group's chip technology, 7nm and 28nm, is what it means."

The leaders asked whatever they wanted, and after getting a general understanding of the situation, they figured out Mu Yang's request and communicated directly face to face.

"Mr. Mu, Xinghai Group is currently short of raw materials for satellite manufacturing. This is not a problem. Even if the GUOs can't get it, we will find a way to exchange it from other GUOs. You can ask someone to prepare a list and report what you need. This matter is nothing." The big boss said, "Since the Xinghai Group intends to build a star network, the layout is now ready, and the Guo family must cooperate, but we will not move here for the time being, so as not to startle the snake, you can do whatever you plan to do. Do.

However, on Xingwang’s Junshi app, on behalf of the Guo family, I plead for the help of the Xinghai Group. Of course, I will not intervene in the management or take over, and everything will be under the Xinghai Group’s command. "

"In terms of Xingwang Jun's application, it can be delivered to GUO companies, which is no problem. My original intention of planning to deploy Xingwang was also to hope that GUO companies would become stronger and be able to help GUO companies.

If it is really an emergency, the GUO family should take over. "Mu Yang said solemnly, "In terms of civilian use, we have enough geosynchronous satellites for use, mainly to facilitate future aerospace development. "

He knows that the biggest function of the star network is the king's use, and he has never thought of using it alone. It is no different from holding a bomb by himself. Without the support of the authoritarians, the western authoritarians will definitely not allow him to do so.

The leaders did not doubt Mu Yang's original intention. It was the same when he developed the king-use engine. Now it has been installed on the top fighter jets, and a new fifth-generation fighter jet was specially developed for this engine.

The big boss said: "Mr. Mu is patriotic and sincere, which deserves our admiration. On behalf of the Guo family, I thank you for your contribution. The star network was developed by the Xinghai Group, and it is also the most familiar one. How about it? Under normal circumstances, the Guo family still does not interfere. Even meddling can't do well, half a barrel of water technical level, maybe it's screwed up.

If the situation is serious, Xinghai Group's assistance is still needed.

In terms of civilian use, I don't think there are many problems.

As for the impact on telecommunications, the interests involved are very large. I am not worried that the Guo family will make less money, but how the hundreds of thousands and millions of employees will be arranged. Let's do this, this matter is related to the survival of millions of people, let us discuss it more.

But no matter what, the amount of money Xinghai Group has invested in Star Network will definitely not let you lose money. "

"Okay, no problem." Mu Yang nodded, understanding the difficulty.

Next, everyone discussed the Xingwang matter for a long time.

About an hour later, Mu Yang left the house and returned to City H that day.
