Chapter 545: Everyone Was Shocked

Chapter 545: Everyone Was Shocked

The clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, gray and heavy, and it was about to rain.

Thomas was walking on the way to the chief executive's office. He felt that the road was very long, and the road ahead was going to darkness, and every step was difficult and tortuous.

He didn't know how to report the bad news.

He was thinking about problems along the way, and his colleagues greeted him as if they didn't hear him.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of the chief leader's office. He took a deep breath, pinched his sweaty palms, knocked on the door, and heard a reply from the office. He lifted his heavy feet and moved into the office.

After a few minutes, the report was completed.

Thomas looked at the cloudy black face in front of him, the smile he had just entered the room had disappeared, and with a "snap", the BOSS slammed on the desk, startling him.

Boss, like a flood that filled the river channel, suddenly burst open the embankment, roaring, and the voice rolled like thunder:

"Bastard, liar!"

"Mu Yang is a big liar!"

"Yes, BOSS, we were all fooled by him! That guy is too bad!" Thomas gritted his teeth, and an uncontrollable anger flashed in his eyes.

The play needs to be well acted, and it feels better to be scolded after a while.

"I finally figured out why Mu Yang wanted to transfer the stock. He planned it long ago, you bastard." The boss was like an enraged lion, "How many satellites have you counted now?"

"When I came here, there were already more than 600 satellites, and there are still many that have not been counted yet."

"F*K, go and have a look."

BOSS walked in front, and Thomas followed, and they walked to the satellite reconnaissance center together.

Seeing Smith, Thomas asked solemnly, "How many have been counted now?"

Seeing the boss behind the supervisor, Smith frowned and said, "We have counted 1043 satellites so far. Now we don't know how many satellites the Xinghai Group has launched, and we don't know what they want to do."

It is not so easy to detect other people's satellites. The satellites are too small, and it takes a long time to count them.

"It hasn't been long since I left, and there are hundreds more!"

Thomas's voice got heavier, shocked.

The boss next to him opened his eyes wide and put his hands on his hips habitually: "It sounds like the situation is very bad. Let me see what kind of satellite the opponent has."

After a while, the BOSS looked at the photos. He is not a professional, and he can't actually see anything.

Thomas explained: "It's a small satellite, a combination of an optical satellite and a radar satellite. The former is mostly used for communication, and the latter is used for reconnaissance. I just don't know why there are so many satellites."

"Can you scout the Xinghai Group's launch base now?" Boss asked.

"Not now, it will take a few hours to get the radiation, probably at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, keep counting, I'll come back in the afternoon!" After the boss finished speaking, he left the satellite reconnaissance center directly.

After the boss returned to the office, he quickly summoned his staff and deputy to come over for an emergency meeting.

After their analysis, if the space advantage is lost, it is like a giant without eyes, and no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will not be able to play its due role.

After hearing this, the BOSS became even more gloomy: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, our satellites were able to detect the Xinghai Group's rocket base. Let's see the situation first."

At noon, no one was in the mood for lunch, nor did they take a good nap.

The staff of the satellite reconnaissance center have been busy all the time, and Thomas felt more and more frightened as he watched the Xinghai Group's satellites increase.

Now they don't know what the Xinghai Group wants to do. The more they don't know, the more worrying they are.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, 2,568 Xingdou-1 satellites have been counted, a very bad number, and it is still growing, it seems to be endless.

At this time, the staff reported: "Look, Xinghai Group is launching a rocket satellite!"

ten minutes later,

When everyone saw the fairing of Xingkong-1 slide open, revealing the number of layers of Xingdou-1 satellites, they were so surprised that they couldn't believe it: so many!

Next, launch the satellites!

1, 2,

...

When everyone numbly counted 340, I didn't know how to describe the expressions of everyone, they couldn't believe it.

At this time, their satellite vision has been separated from the Xingkong-1 rocket, and they can no longer see the recovery process of the Xingkong-1 rocket.

They probably thought that Xinghai Group was just an ordinary rocket.

After watching the BOSS, he immediately went into a rage: "Thomas, this is the so-called Xingkong-1 LEO load capacity of 20 tons per arrow?

Do you think I'm bad at math or a fool?

How many satellites have been launched just now, a total of 340 satellites. No matter how light the small satellites are, each satellite weighs two to three hundred kilograms, and the total weight is almost one hundred tons.

OH, MY GOD!

With a load capacity of one hundred tons per arrow, how is this possible!

The world is crazy!

It seems that according to Hua Guo's words, we are frogs in a well. "

In fact, not only the BOSS felt unbelievable, but also other people.

The rocket is about the same size as the Falcon 9, but it has a carrying capacity of 100 tons, and this 100 tons is just an estimate, and it may be more than that.

"Boss, according to the data released by Huaguo half a year ago, the load capacity of LEO is 20 tons. Perhaps the Xinghai Group has made a big breakthrough in the past six months." Thomas replied in a slightly lower voice, feeling something was wrong even after he finished speaking.

"20 tons of bullshit, has the Xinghai Group admitted it?" The boss became angry when he heard this statement.

"It seems that the Xinghai Group has not admitted it."

"Since the Xinghai Group has not admitted it, the information reported by the media is false. Who said that the information was leaked by the employees of the Xinghai Group?"

"It seems that we were all deceived by Xinghai Group, damn it!"

"Maybe they didn't lie to us, they didn't reveal anything, it was the damn media that misled us all along.

Also, it is your intelligence department's fault that such important information has not been found!

Thomas, what are your intelligence agencies doing!

Rubbish!

inability! "

Thomas was scolded for nothing, and the smelly saliva of the BOSS's yellow teeth was sprayed on his face, but he didn't dare to refute or evade. He had to keep the job and the rights in his hand.

In this matter, their department did make a mistake, did not find important information, and made a wrong judgment.

But it's not their fault,

"Boss, we are indeed responsible for this matter, but the Xinghai Group is guarding against us, and everything they have done is far beyond the perception of normal people.

The carrying capacity of one arrow is no less than one hundred tons, we dare not imagine it!

In just a few days, such a satellite was launched. We can't imagine that Xinghai Group invested so much money, and we can't imagine that they built so many satellites. "

After Thomas finished speaking, there seemed to be a logic error.

According to the more than 2,000 satellites that have been counted so far, and based on the calculation of 340 satellites per arrow, at least 6 times have been launched!

Xinghai Group has so many rockets?

Therefore, he felt that the logic was a bit illogical.

"BOSS, the Xinghai Group's rocket, should have the ability to recover."

"What should, why didn't you detect it?!

Is this the attitude of your intelligence service?

Could it be that one day, our headquarters is bombed, and you tell me that it should be, is it still useful? "

Thomas was speechless after being refuted, and now he only hoped that the BOSS had had enough scolding.

"You should understand what a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons per arrow represents. That is to say, starting today, we have fallen far behind others in the field of space competition. If Xinghai Group still has the ability to recover rockets, hehe, we Just raise your hands and surrender."

After the boss finished speaking, he left the satellite reconnaissance center with his hands.

Back at the office, the staff and deputy came, and some important personnel were terrified after knowing that Xinghai Group launched so many satellites, and it still has a carrying capacity of hundreds of tons with one arrow.

If they were used by the Hua Kingdom on the monarch's affairs, their dominance over the monarch's affairs would no longer exist, which meant that they would have to look at Hua Guo's face in everything they did in the future.

Everyone discussed how to deal with this matter, and it seemed that there was no good solution.

In the end, I still need to negotiate with Hua Guo.

The next day, the relevant departments of Ugly Nation directly negotiated with Hua Nation: "Why did the Xinghai Group launch so many satellites? There are thousands of them, which has already affected the space security of other countries!"

Hua Guo didn't respond in time, but was delaying time.

At this time, Xinghai Group did not come out to express its position, but continued to launch satellites.

The media reporters from all over the world seemed to have grasped the important information, and after figuring it out, they were all shocked: Xinghai Group is making a big deal!

All of a sudden, the global Internet media reported that the Xinghai Group launched thousands of satellites, and it was only a few days ago, and Ugly Country just found out about it.

This matter was quickly spread in the domestic media, and the reports on this related topic were unprecedentedly hot, and even rushed to the top of the list, attracting attention from all walks of life.

"The Xinghai Group is mighty, and it was Wang Zha all of a sudden, scaring the Western countries into a daze."

"Seeing Chou Guo being slapped in the face, I haven't felt this feeling for a long time, it's so cool!"

"Xinghai Group continues to launch. Why can't you launch and we can't launch? What an international joke."

"During the Starlink project, all countries opposed it, but the ugly country still went its own way. Oh, now, seeing space resources being pre-occupied, they are not happy. You also agree with the rules, but in the end, you lose your debt. How can it be so good? thing."

"Space is originally owned by whoever occupies it first. It is recognized globally. If you have the ability, you will launch it yourself."

These domestic netizens don't know Xinghai Group's Xingkong No. 1 carrying capacity and recycling technology for the time being, and are kept in the dark.

However, some netizens who are familiar with spaceflight feel that there is a lot of information. The Xinghai Group has launched thousands of satellites. Why did the ugly country find out, and other countries and space observation enthusiasts did not find out. This is not normal.

And, why so many?

How many arrows can be fired with one arrow, and how many arrows have been fired in total?

When these questions were raised, domestic netizens realized that things were bigger than they thought.

As for foreign netizens, the comment area is somewhat different from that of Hua country netizens.

Ugly country netizen: "Oh, God, Xinghai Group is preparing to occupy space resources!"

Yingguo netizen: "It's unimaginable, it's too scary!"

Ah San netizen: "When will our country have such advanced high technology?"

Island country netizen: "Since the Xinghai Group has led the world in many technologies, I have re-acquainted with Hua Country, and I feel that my previous cognition is too naive."

Netizen Xiongguo: "Our brothers are really powerful, and Chouguo is scared."

...

The launch of thousands of satellites by the Xinghai Group received intense social response and public opinion. The media frantically chased and reported it, occupying the headlines of various websites, and discussing it in forums.

But on the fifth day, on January 12, 2017, the spokesperson of the relevant department of Huaguo responded to the news and refuted: "Xinghai Group's satellite launch is a normal commercial activity, and we have no right to interfere, which is in line with international rules.

Your country’s space exploration company launches Starlink satellites. Is it only allowed to set fires by officials and not allow people to light lamps? "

In fact, on this day, netizens from all over the world are paying attention to the development of the situation.

In 12 days, Xinghai Group has launched 20 times, launching a total of 6,800 satellites.

Now the space agencies of various countries are paying attention to the satellites of Xinghai Group. Netizens from all over the world have just learned about 340 satellites per arrow, LEO carrying capacity of at least 120 tons and rocket recovery technology.

Netizens who don’t understand the carrying capacity of 120 tons of LEO will understand what this data means after hearing the explanation from professionals. Xinghai Group can build a large space station and can easily land on the moon. can be realised.

Ordinary people pay the most attention to these things, and do not pay attention to the influence of the king's affairs.

Many overseas astronomers protested: there are too many satellites in the sky, and electromagnetic radiation seriously affects astronomical observation.

When Musk's space company announced the Starlink project, they protested once, and now they protest again.

But it is much less than the previous protests, because they have adapted.

Musk was in shock when he heard the news that the Xinghai Group launched the Xingwang satellite.

At the same time, his thoughts were suddenly messed up, filled with complex emotions such as fear, apprehension, unwillingness, and helplessness.

Why are they also able to achieve rocket recovery technology?

In this way, what advantage does their space exploration company have?

Ruined!

His space exploration company may be doomed.

Moreover, why did Xinghai Group do this!

Don't leave them any room, no wonder Mu Yang abandoned Tesla's stock some time ago, and now the company's stock is in a slump. It is estimated that even after Chou Guo knows about it, it is really possible to deal with him, or even directly confiscate his property.

Now, Xinghai Group and Mu Yang have no assets to stay in Ugly Country, so they can't control it.

The employees of his company lost their spirit in the lottery and suddenly lost their fighting spirit. Compared with the Xinghai Group's technology, they were completely defeated and lost miserably.

Compare Musk and Mu Yang again. The former is high-profile and wants the world to know that he is going to start the Starlink project, while the latter is low-key and has many routines, keeping everyone in the world in the dark.

Well, there's really nothing to compare to either.

The space agencies of various countries have urgently held meetings. Like the domestic space agency, most of the scientific researchers are not aware of the situation, and a notice has been issued: public discussion and dissemination are prohibited.

The Xinghai Group launched such a big bomb, which directly changed the global space pattern, and it will have a very big impact in the future.

Some time ago, public discussions were not allowed, but now the whole world knows that the leaders of the domestic space agency finally knew what was going on, and an internal discussion meeting was held.

The leader of the bureau said: "We have developed in the aerospace field for so many years, but we are still not as good as Xinghai Group, which has only developed for two or three years. We have to reflect and learn from others.

At the same time, we should be thankful that Xinghai Group belongs to our country.

The Xinghai Group has opened up such a large level of aerospace in various countries, and the subsequent development may be unpredictable. The pressure on the Xinghai Group is very high. "

After the meeting, the leaders and experts of the domestic aerospace agency wanted to visit the rocket launch base of the Xinghai Group, but they were notified: Temporarily prohibited!

If it was before, this was not prohibited, and it seems that the development of the situation is somewhat special.

Now within a ten-kilometer radius of the Xinghai Group's rocket launch base, except for the fishing boats that have changed into civilian clothes, other ships cannot enter, and they have been told that they will have to detour in the future. It is unknown when the ban will be lifted.

The Xinghai Group has continuously launched 6,805 Xingdou-1 satellites, and the layout of the satellite network has been completed.

Of course, it is still far from the perfect 20,000, and we have to continue launching.

At this time, it is indeed possible to announce the situation to the outside world.

Xinghai Group President Zhou Chen held a press conference, and hundreds of domestic and foreign media were invited to attend.

The situation of this press conference is different. The whole world pays attention to it, and some TV stations broadcast it live.

Zhou Chen said: "The satellites launched by the Xinghai Group are based on the Ugly Country's Starlink project, and we are learning from them.

Of course, we are not called Starlink, but Starnet.

As you can guess from the name, the Starnet plan will follow.

The star network is to meet the needs of global network construction and intelligent driving. It is a commercial network, not a business development. It will serve human communication. Please do not interpret it as a business.

How to charge the Starnet service is still under discussion, but one thing is certain is that it is convenient, low in charge, short in delay, and strong in signal. "

A reporter asked: "Mr. Zhou, now the whole world wants to know how many satellites Xinghai Group plans to launch?"

"We plan to launch 50,000 satellites. If the ugly company Musk is willing to give up the Starlink project, we can reduce the number to 40,000." Zhou Chen laughed. Before the press conference, they targeted the media. Prepare answers to questions the reporter may ask.

Mu Yang asked Zhou Chen to deliberately exaggerate the number, so naturally he had his intentions.

Musk was also watching the Xinghai Group's press conference, and when he heard Zhou Chen's answer, he was very dissatisfied and immediately became furious: Why did you ask us to give up?

Why are we the ones who get hurt?

However, if the Xinghai Group is willing, they can really launch 50,000 satellites, and the low-Earth orbit resources are nothing to them.

If the country's ZF really agrees, Starlink will be stillborn.

In fact, their Starlink project is over.

Zhou Chen's answer shocked the reporter once again: there are really 50,000 satellites!

It's just that the Xinghai Group preemptively occupied space resources, just like it did with the Piaotong Company before, rushing to register invention patents.

It seems that the Xinghai Group likes to stealthily seize resources, which has become a strategic method.

"May I ask Mr. Zhou, how many tons is the Xingkong-1 low-earth orbit carrying capacity of Xinghai Group? Isn't it 20 tons that was announced earlier?" Another media reporter asked.

Zhou Chen smiled: "We have never publicly stated that LEO's carrying capacity is 20 tons. The actual situation is indeed more than 100 tons. The specific number is a secret of our company. I can refuse to answer this question."

His answer made the reporter very dissatisfied.

"Has the Xinghai Group really realized the rocket recovery technology, and what is the difference between the recovery technology of Musk's SpaceX space company? Has your company stolen their technology?" A foreign reporter asked in English. The on-site personnel who could understand "hush" for a while, and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

Zhou Chen can understand English, but he replied in Chinese: "Our company has indeed mastered rocket recovery technology, and of course it is more advanced than Spacex.

The question asked by this reporter is quite funny. You said that an adult who has learned to run secretly learns a baby to crawl.

Also, next time you ask a question, please ask in Chinese. "

Zhou Chen replied domineeringly, and the other reporters couldn't help laughing, good things were stolen by others, and they said that Xinghai Group stole their technology just like Pingtong Company.

"Mr. Zhou, what space program does Xinghai Group have in the future?"

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "The first step of our star network is to establish global WIFI to serve mankind.

In the next step, we will launch various space stations and conduct manned experiments.

If it is possible, we will build a space hotel, as long as the cost is not high, people all over the world can travel to space. This is one of the fantasies, but it may be possible.

In the next step, we will plan to land on the moon and explore further planets, such as the human migration plan to Mars, etc. Of course, this plan is a bit far away. "

He must bring up new topics to draw away part of the firepower, and not let the people of all countries pay too much attention to the application of Star Network.

Next, the media reporters asked many questions, and Zhou Chen satisfied their questions this time.

An hour and a half later, the press conference ended.

But this matter will not end so soon, the matter has just fermented.

For example, the 50,000 satellites proposed by Zhou Chen, do countries really agree to continue launching?

Really agree with 40,000?

Will it be cut off?

In other words, no further launch is allowed.

However, when the L United Nations discusses a new plan, it is estimated that the Xinghai Group has already completed the actual task.

As for the satellites that have been launched, Ugly Country also knows that it is impossible to destroy the Xinghai Group. This idea is a bit ridiculous.

Now they are thinking about how to prevent the Xinghai Group from continuing to launch satellites, and how to prevent the Xinghai Group from applying the Star Network to government affairs.
