Chapter 541: The Storm Is Coming! (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 541: The Storm Is Coming! (seeking a monthly ticket)

June 6, 2016

Just a few days after the successful launch of Xingdou-1, the five satellites launched have been put into use.

Mu Yang sat in front of the computer, and the experimental data came from the front.

Five satellites just passed over the city of H and fell into the range of their optical satellites. The ground control center ordered the optical satellites to take several sets of street photos of the smart city on the ground.

When this satellite took pictures, the visibility was average, but there was no electromagnetic interference, and the altitude was at a perigee of 700 kilometers.

In the photo, the outline of the face is slightly blurred. If it is an acquaintance, it may be recognized. The color and outline of the license plate can be seen clearly, but the license plate number cannot be seen clearly.

But if the apogee (the satellite is at the furthest point in the elliptical orbit), the effect will definitely be worse;

But if it is a little closer, at an altitude of 500 kilometers, the visibility will be better, and the effect will be even better.

The satellite network has a full orbit. When the earth rotates, it will always be photographed by the perigee satellite in 24 hours a day.

Combining optical satellites with radar satellites, after comprehensive processing by the system, a color three-dimensional map of the city comes out, the processed image is clearer, and the resolution is improved again, and the license plate number can already be seen clearly.

Reaching this level of clarity brings great significance. Mu Yang ordered Ye Fan to lock the authority and strengthen the confidentiality training of personnel. If there are no special circumstances, it is forbidden to use high-definition photos and adopt comprehensive processing by the system. It is forbidden to make satellite photos public, so as not to Company technology leaks.

Mu Yang divides satellite permissions into four levels, with level one being the lowest and level four the highest.

Business without membership (Level 1): You can see the outlines of large buildings and streets clearly, which is not much different from satellites with an international resolution of 0.5 meters.

Business VIP member (Level 2): ​​Can see the outline of small buildings clearly, distinguish trucks from cars, human beings are blurred, and cannot distinguish animals from people.

Used by the government and ordinary scientific research personnel of the company (level 3): can see human beings clearly, but can't tell who they are, such as observing from a few hundred meters away, it has surpassed the top international spy satellites.

For special occasions (Level 4): Can clearly see the license plate number and the outline of the face

If it is processed by other satellite systems, it can only roughly distinguish trucks and cars from the photos, and cannot distinguish animals from people, but it is already the highest resolution of public satellites so far.

But the general appearance can still be distinguished, and it can be tracked. With the close-range face recognition of drones, it can be targeted to kill.

It can be said that as long as the star network layout is almost complete, the drone is equipped with a weapon system, and as long as the target is within the range of the drone, Xinghai Group can control the photoelectric guided attack and other drones to kill targets on a global scale.

The Xinghai Group's satellite system will not fall behind in the next ten years.

After more than ten years, the life of the satellite has reached its end.

Xinghai Group needs tens of billions of yuan to maintain the star network every year. Of course, it must be open for commercial use, so that the star network can continue to maintain.

After another two days, Mu Yang reviewed the operation of the Xingdou-1 experimental satellite and officially issued the task of mass production.

Today is June 8th,

Satellites are different from other products, involving many processes and complex technological processes.

From the delivery of raw materials to the acceptance of the whole satellite inspection, it needs to go through deck-level subassembly, satellite assembly, whole satellite power performance test, communication load test, mechanical precision test, solar wing installation and performance test, quality characteristic test, vibration test , Vacuum heat test, leak detection test and more than ten procedures.

Most of the process links will be replaced by machines and become assembly line operations, greatly improving production efficiency.

It is necessary to "understand" every process and process flow in the traditional assembly process, and then study how to optimize a certain process, and then connect the optimized processes in series to form a complete process flow.

The configuration, size, and weight of satellites of the same model and specifications, and they are small satellites, can be mass-produced very quickly.

It is planned to produce 100 satellites per day, and 20,000 satellites will be produced within 200 days.

If it is the kind of satellite that weighs two or three tons, and of different models and sizes, the efficiency will of course be much slower. The same personnel can make one or two hundred satellites a year, which is not bad.

After the satellite has been debugged, it is also ready for the countdown to mass launch.

In other words, before New Year's Day this year, the star network will be officially launched.

At that time, Xinghai Group will officially reveal to the world the true face of Xingkong-1's terrifying carrying capacity: more than 300 stars with one arrow!

And its rocket recovery ability!

It is there, too, that the global landscape will find subtle shifts.

Not only the Xinghai Group needs to be prepared, but the country must also be prepared, whether it can withstand the pressure of Western countries.

Mu Yang and Zhou Chen came to the satellite production department in person, and then called the quality manager in charge of satellite production, and explained to the production manager:

"Okay, Chairman, Mr. Zhou, we must complete the task according to the timeline and on the premise of ensuring quality."

Mu Yang said solemnly: "Well, it is normal for the production to be slower in the early stage, and the quality must be guaranteed, otherwise the satellites launched into the sky will be a pile of scrap iron, and they will have to be re-launched, and the loss will be more than the cost of one satellite.

Therefore, when the personnel of the quality department conduct quality inspection, you must cooperate with the inspection, and if you find quality problems yourself, you must actively deal with them instead of concealing them.

100% zero defect, I will reward your production department and quality department. The minimum reward for each ordinary employee is 50,000 yuan, and the management staff will be doubled.

This reward is extra, not all the time, different from the year-end bonus.

Launched into the sky and found that a satellite is defective, the reward will be halved;

If two satellites are found to have quality problems, there will be no reward.

Every time the quality department finds a problem, you have to reward them equally.

But, likewise, if the launched satellite is found to have quality problems and cannot operate normally, neither department will be rewarded. "

Mu Yang knows that it is useless to motivate employees just by talking about making big cakes, and that they must be motivated by corresponding incentives.

At the same time, to ensure quality, there must be certain constraints.

The production manager and quality manager who are in charge of the satellite production project are under a sudden increase in pressure, but they are also very excited, and there is an extra reward.

But they know that rewards are not easy to get.

"Okay, chairman, we will strictly control the quality and ensure zero defects."

"Um."

Mu Yang nodded, and left the production department with Zhou Chen.

After they left, the production manager immediately held a production meeting, and the quality manager also held a quality meeting.

"The chairman has issued an order for the mass production of satellites, and promised rewards at the same time.

However, since this is confidential work, it is not convenient for the company to disclose it.

He said this, as long as the goal of zero defects is achieved, each person will be rewarded with a minimum of 50,000 yuan!

However, as long as one of the launched satellites has quality problems and cannot operate normally, all rewards will be cancelled.

This is a test of our team's spirit of cooperation, do you have the confidence to complete the task! "

"have!"

When the workers and group leaders heard the leader's words, they immediately became excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

There are rewards!

At least fifty thousand yuan!

It's worth more than half a year's salary.

Didn't expect such a good thing.

Of course, they know that it is very difficult to achieve the goal of completely zero defects. It is impossible to complete the task by only one person. It depends on all members, and the pressure suddenly increases.

"Very good, everyone is full of fighting spirit, but it is very difficult to achieve it.

Brothers, I want you to keep your spirits up. Everyone keeps their eyes open, and checks not to miss a screw, and not to miss any beating of data!

If a person has a problem, it is not a problem of one person, but a problem of the team, and everyone must supervise each other. "The production manager said seriously, "I don't want to fight unprepared battles. I hope everyone is familiar with every process flow, instead of grinding their guns before the battle. If that's the case, you don't know if something goes wrong.

Therefore, in the past few days, while the production line is still being debugged.

The same process forms a team, communicates and learns from each other, checks for omissions and fills in vacancies. "

The atmosphere of the whole scene was full of seven points of passion and three points of pressure, and everyone was like a soldier rushing to the battle.

In addition to the production department and quality department responsible for satellite production, the scope of personnel rewarded for this production task also includes on-site technicians.

After Mu Yang and Zhou Chen left the production department, they walked and chatted on the way back to the office.

"Chairman, it's not easy to achieve zero defects."

"I know that if there is no pressure, there will be no motivation. Our company has reached the top level in the world, but it is actually fighting every Western country. In fact, it is the same as mobilizing and fighting. There can be no mistakes.

Our company has been established for seven years, and the corporate culture of unity and cooperation has only been formed in the past two or three years. Now is the time to verify their team's ability to assist. " Mu Yang said if he pointed.

"Well, I understand. After the announcement of the Star Network, it threatens the strategic security of all countries. We will openly fight against the whole world and face various difficulties."

"Yes, the country can only rely on the country, but in the end it depends on our own strength. As long as we are strong enough, others will be afraid of us, but one day we will be weak, and they will definitely step on us and prevent us from rising again.

We are already different from traditional companies. In fact, when we monopolize each technology industry, they should realize it. I probably didn't expect that we would engage in Star Network. "Mu Yangtai knows what troubles Musk's Starlink has brought to all countries, and all countries are against it.

If it weren't for the ugly country behind it, how could a company survive.

five days later,

The Xingdou No. 1 production line has been debugged and started production.

On June 18, the assembly of the first batch of 100 Xingdou-1 satellites was completed, and they entered the stage of the entire satellite electrical performance test.

The production arrangement is not to arrange 20,000 satellites at once, because the materials of 20,000 satellites are very large, and so many materials cannot be stacked on one station.

Instead, it is divided into each batch of 100 satellite materials, and the next small batch of 100 satellite materials will be received when it is used up.

At this stage of production, Mu Yang rarely stares.

Because the matter was so important, Zhou Chen would go down to patrol every two or three days. Otherwise, he would have a lot of things to do, so he wouldn't have the time to stare at a department.

At the same time, the rocket launch base must also prepare for the launch of 20,000 satellites, such as the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen required for dozens of launches, which is a lot of work.

The launch center has to assign a number to each satellite. How to operate this satellite network system and manage 20,000 satellites is no small matter.

Xinghai Group has prepared three Xingkong-1 rockets for the launch of 20,000 satellites. If the launches are not frequent, one rocket is enough.

Therefore, after the launch, the other two rockets will not be used for a long time.

All the employees of the relevant departments of the satellite ran the marathon nervously and orderly, and waited until the end of the year for the final sprint.

Before the satellite launch, Mu Yang also needs to make other preparations, such as transferring the shares of the overseas Hummer company as soon as possible.

In the past two years, he has been reducing his holdings, but due to the rules, the number of holdings is limited each year.

It can’t be reduced. Once Xingwang succeeds, Chouguo may tear his skin apart and directly confiscate his shares on the grounds that Xinghai Group threatens Chouguo’s security. There will be no confiscation of foreign shares to affect foreign investment.

Because the Xinghai Group has indeed affected the security of Ugly Country, and they really have a reason to do so.

Even if there is no substantial impact for the time being, it is equivalent to putting a knife in front of someone's neck. This reason for confiscating Xinghai Group's property is sufficient.

Time, in a blink of an eye, it is early July.

The company has produced 752 Xingdou-1 satellites, but the start was not smooth. In addition, the production department and the quality department strictly controlled the quality. Many quality problems were found during the production process, and there were too many reworks.

Even if there is a slight problem, they have to rework. I am really afraid that there will be a problem only after the launch is completed, and their reward will be wasted.

Of course, they are also under a lot of pressure. The chairman requires 200 days to complete the task.

On the 5th, Yang Nian, president of Xinghai Investment Company, returned to City H to report on his work.

After Yang Nian finished reporting on the investment company and Xinghai Bank, Mu Yang said solemnly:

"Mr. Yang, the Xinghai Group's rocket base will launch the Xingwang satellite at the end of the year, which threatens the ugly country.

This news is still in a high-level confidentiality stage and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. I am here to tell you that when you walk out of this door, you cannot disclose it, including your family members.

Ugly Country is very likely to confiscate my investment shares in Ugly Country on the grounds of threatening them. They can do anything, don't doubt it.

Therefore, before the end of this year, I have two important things to tell you.

The first thing is to transfer Xinghai Group's 18% stake in Tesla;

The second thing is to deal with the shares of the overseas Hummer company.

Regardless of the form, whether it is sold to an overseas structure or transferred out, try to transfer the assets back to China. "

Yang Nian was shocked when he heard this, the boss's decision was too sudden.

The boss's shares in the overseas Hummer company have been reducing their holdings, but they can only reduce their holdings in the secondary market according to the rules. There are very few transfers, which have seriously affected the stock price.

Otherwise, the stock price of overseas Hummer company is now 1.5 times.

"Boss, after the transfer of shares, how will the two companies maintain their relationship? Will they continue to maintain their cooperative relationship?"

"The overseas Hummer company is our subsidiary after all, even after the transfer, those overseas employees have paid for us.

President John is loyal to me, and I will call him when the time comes, and try to secure his status.

Even if the company's shares are transferred, the headquarters can continue to cooperate, after all, the annual export profits are quite a lot. "Mu Yang seriously ordered, "As for Tesla, there is no need to continue to cooperate. Domestic new energy companies have completed the layout, and Tesla's market share is not much.

In addition, the nature of Musk's space company is different.

So, don't think about Tesla, the future is the enemy. "

"Okay, then I understand how to deal with it." Yang Nian got too much information.

"Go, pay attention to safety. After finishing these two things, I will not go abroad for the time being at the end of the year. I will talk about it after the calm. You are my core subordinate. I am worried that they will not be able to deal with me. I will use you to vent my anger."

"OK."

After Mu Yang finished explaining, Yang Nian left the chairman's office with a heavy heart.

It seems that a storm is coming.
