Chapter 527 Reconnaissance is not so easy!
Was Xinghai Group's satellite launch filmed?
If you want to actually photograph every move on the ground, it is definitely not possible to use geostationary satellites. Although it covers a relatively large area, the resolution is generally low because it is too high. It is suitable for real-time monitoring of the ocean, and at the same time, it uses infrared, thermal imaging and other auxiliary imaging.
Equipment, monitoring, can monitor large-scale items at fixed locations such as high-rise buildings in real time.
But an object like a rocket with a diameter of only 3 meters cannot be seen clearly at all, and the resolution must be within 3 meters. However, the resolution of remote sensing satellites in general geostationary orbits is above 50 meters, which is enough to see the outline of a cruise ship.
Generally, "real-time monitoring" is performed by low-orbit high-resolution remote sensing satellites. Of course, meteorological satellites cannot do this because the resolution is not enough and cannot be seen clearly.
However, even if a high-resolution remote sensing satellite can see clearly, it is a low-orbit satellite and is not stationary, but a satellite that is moving in real time.
[Note: Meteorological satellites, ocean observation satellites, environmental detection and reconnaissance satellites are all remote sensing satellites, and radar satellites are the collective name for Earth observation remote sensing satellites carrying synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and they are also remote sensing satellites.]
It is possible for the Ugly State to monitor the Xinghai Group, but it requires reconnaissance satellites or radar satellites to happen to be in this reconnaissance area. It is also very troublesome to monitor around the clock.
This kind of radar satellite surveillance can ignore the weather. Even if it rains, it can still clearly capture the real object, but the optical imaging reconnaissance satellite is affected.
The Chou Country currently has a total of 42 optical imaging reconnaissance satellites and 28 radar imaging reconnaissance satellites. The general reconnaissance range is about 100 kilometers. The Hua Country spans four to five thousand kilometers. It is not a small country. The circle of the earth is tens of thousands of kilometers. The Chou Country
The 28 radar imaging reconnaissance satellites are evenly distributed, with a maximum of four satellites over Hua State, which cannot completely cover the vast territory of Hua State.
Therefore, it is very unlikely that the radar imaging reconnaissance satellite will just cover the Xinghai Group's rocket launch base. In addition, it will have to meet the Xinghai Group's tens of seconds test, and the chance is even smaller. I probably thought that the test would not be carried out due to bad weather.
No investigation is conducted.
Mu Yang estimated that if it were to be investigated, Xinghai Group's rocket had been installed outside for a long time, and it might have been exposed. The premise is that Chouguo wanted to take pictures, and it happened to be within the detection range of the reconnaissance satellite.
So, this is just a guess.
However, it is impossible to detect the performance and ignition test status of the rocket.
Unless, say, optical imaging reconnaissance satellites are used to take continuous pictures.
However, Mu Yang had already expected this when he chose to conduct the ignition and launch on a rainy day.
In addition to satellite reconnaissance, it has been ruled out that there is spy monitoring around the rocket launch base, but the sound of the rocket launch is so loud that if there are fishermen a few kilometers away, it is possible to hear the roar.
For Mu Yang, it is inevitable that Starry Sky 1 will be photographed. As long as the performance parameters are not exposed for the time being, it will not affect his Star Network plan.
If it launches a low-orbit satellite, if there are technical means, it can temporarily interfere with the satellites of other nearby countries, and it will no longer have to worry about being monitored overhead.
a few days later,
March 5, 2016
The space exploration technology project team moved quickly and worked overtime to check the status of the Starry Sky-1 rocket after launch.
At ten o'clock in the morning that day, Mu Yang got the test data of Starry Sky One and the damage to the arrow.
The main body of the rocket and the engine were not damaged or burned.
This means that with at least some maintenance and fuel loading, it can be launched repeatedly.
However, how many times it can be launched still needs to be verified experimentally.
During the test, there has been no signal delay, but signal delays may occur when the rocket is far away from the ground. At an altitude of 40 kilometers to 100 kilometers above the ground, the signal blackout area cannot be avoided, but it does not affect the rocket.
Recycle.
No matter what, this ignition and launch is a very important aerospace milestone for Xinghai Group.
Xinghai Group's aerospace development is slightly slower. Today in September, my country launched its first space laboratory "Tiangong 2".
Tiangong-1 was launched on September 29, 2011, with only 5 tons, and its designed on-orbit life is only two years.
The height of the space station is not high. It belongs to the closest point of low-Earth orbit, about three to four hundred kilometers. Due to the resistance of the atmosphere during operation, the orbital height will continue to decrease, so the orbital height needs to be raised frequently.
After the Starry Sky One test was successful, Mu Yang had long wanted to start building a space station.
In the first step, the rocket launch test, Xinghai Group has been initially successful, with 100% progress;
The second step is to implement rocket recovery technology, launch three geosynchronous communication satellites and five Star Dou-1, and lay out space communications. This is an ongoing project. The design of geosynchronous communication satellites has not yet begun, and the progress is considered to be 40%;
The third step is to launch 20,000 Star Dou-1 and lay out the star network, progress is 0%;
The fourth step is to launch manned satellites, first try animals, and then try humans. The project team has not been established yet, but the layout can be started, such as building a training base to train astronauts;
The fifth step is to develop an aerospace aircraft and the high-load rocket Xingkong-2.
The sixth step is to launch the Xinghai Group’s space station for space experiments. Xingkong-1 is successfully ignited, and this space station can also be laid out and a project team established;
The seventh step... there are too many, the first few steps alone are enough for Mu Yang to toss.
In Mu Yang's vision, Xingkong 2 will use five Xinghuo 1 engines, and the payload that can be launched to LEO can reach 1,000 tons.
The Starry Sky-2 rocket has a terrifying diameter of 8 meters, a length of 50 meters, and a capacity that is 67 times that of Starry Sky-1.
The Starry Sky-1 rocket is still a bit small, with a diameter of 7 meters, and is not suitable for carrying large space stations.
The diameter of the space station is limited by the rocket's carrying capacity and its own diameter, so the diameter of the space station is not large, about four meters.
Apart from the thick shell of the space station, the internal space is very narrow and obviously cannot meet human activities. It is no different from living in a small house. This is not in line with Mu Yang's vision at all.
Of course, small space stations can also be assembled into large space stations, but the structural requirements are relatively high and the manufacturing cost is too high.
If there is more space, large components (such as large robotic arms that carry and unload cargo and equipment) can be manufactured directly and then transported. Large-scale assembly can also be carried out in space, but with a lot less assembly and a simpler structure.
Of course, to manufacture such a large rocket body, if there is no shipping and special transportation tools, transportation will be a big problem, and the manufacturing equipment will also be very troublesome.
But for the current situation of Xinghai Group, transportation is no longer a problem.
Mu Yang suddenly became interested and came to the supercomputing center on the 104th floor.
Start the supercomputing center and it will boot successfully in one or two seconds.
The cameras around the supercomputing center focused on Mu Yang, performed face recognition, scanned the main features, and opened relevant permissions.
"Master, you have not been on the plane for 11 hours, 12 minutes and 35 seconds."
"Well, it's not a long time." Mu Yang was speechless when he heard the mechanical sound of the operating system novice.
He did not give Xiaobai unlimited power-on permissions because the supercomputing center consumed too much power.
Of course, you can also turn on only part of the equipment, but the computing speed will not be that fast.
When turning on the computer, Mu Yang ordered Xiaobai to learn some knowledge on the Internet. Now he has the ability to communicate with Mu Yang normally, but he just can't think and answers questions only according to procedures.
"Xiaobai, help me search all the space station pictures and videos on the Internet, including conceptual space stations, fantasy structural diagrams in science fiction films and novels."
"Ding...the results are as follows..."
As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, it was displayed on the monitor, and the search efficiency was very fast.
He looked at other people's space stations just to find some inspiration.
Except for the space station that actually exists, everything else is just fantasy, but there are many innovations in it. What technology and facilities are needed, how to live, and fantasy can also become a reality.
He can also purchase space station technology and artificial gravity technology from the system store, but there is no rush.
Humans living in a gravity-free space for a long time can easily cause muscle atrophy, which can generally be solved through exercise, but the best solution is artificial gravity, which also solves the difficulty of humans walking in space and making it easier to place things.
For example, in the space station of Huaguo, there are buckles all around, just to facilitate walking and fix the posture, which is too troublesome.
If there was no gravity, humans would have trouble urinating and eating, and they would have to suck soup.
Mu Yang immersed himself in admiring these videos and pictures. Many of the space stations are very good and very imaginative, such as Blue Origin Orbital Reef, Voyager Space Hotel, Spider Space Station, Two-Wheel Space Station, Orbital Ring, Ring World, etc.
For example, the Voyager Space Hotel is a large ring, with the center rotating to generate artificial gravity.
There is also an orbital ring, a space station that circles the earth, with several super-tough cables connected to the earth to transmit electricity from the earth. This project is many times more expensive than a space elevator.
There is no need to carry out these large-scale projects. The space station is just a transitional product for Muyang.
"Xiaobai, which space station do you think is the best?" Mu Yang asked casually.
"Master, according to the data I collected, most netizens think that the ring space station is good. If expanded, it may be made into multiple rings and connected by intermediate shafts, like the two-wheeled space station." Xiaobai's answer was just knowledge on the Internet.
.
"Sounds good. Do you think the ring space station looks good?"
"Everyone thinks so. It has a sci-fi feel, is convenient to close the loop, and can create artificial gravity when rotating."
Artificial gravity?
Mu Yang searched for artificial gravity technology in the system store and found that artificial gravity produced by rotation was indeed used.
However, this does not meet Mu Yang's ideal requirements.
For example, if he wants to build a base on the moon, it is impossible for the base to rotate, so how to generate gravity?
The space station also requires energy to maintain its rotation. Artificial gravity generated by rotation is not the best solution, but it is currently the best technical solution.
Mu Yang gave up the fantasy of the space station and temporarily solved the problem at hand.
Dreams, think about them occasionally, you can relax.
I checked the time and it was already lunch time.
After leaving the supercomputing center, he came to the chairman's office and saw the secretary waiting for him.
Under normal circumstances, the secretary and Zhou Chen would accompany him to dinner and occasionally chat about things.
After leaving Xinghai Building and strolling along the tree-lined road, employees passing by greeted Mu Yang enthusiastically. Employees who were embarrassed to say hello should either walk faster or walk slower to let the chairman go first.
The temperature in H City in March is mild, making it most suitable for spring outings.
"Xiao Chen, this season, the temperature is pleasant, everything is recovering, and everywhere is full of vitality. It is the best time to go out and play. Go out for a walk when you have time. Does the company organize such activities?"
"Yes, Chairman, because there are many employees in the company, the Human Resources Department organizes activities in batches, every weekend. I plan to go to the West Lake with them this week to exercise. The food in the company cafeteria is so delicious, it is easy to grow
fat."
"Well, one of the great pleasures in life is eating. It would be boring if we cut off this item."
After a while, Mu Yang came to the canteen and chose his own dishes like the employees.
After lunch, we returned to the bedroom on the 101st floor of Xinghai Building to rest for a while.
He has the habit of taking a lunch break. If he doesn't take a break at noon, he will definitely have a mental breakdown in the afternoon.
The company gets off work at 12 o'clock and goes to work at 1:30 in the afternoon. There is enough lunch break. These working hours were set when he first established the company.
After getting up from lunch break, have a cup of tea and look at the scenery.
After feeling that it was almost done, Muyang opened the reading system and clicked on the achievement store.
Search "communication satellite".
This time, what he plans to purchase is geosynchronous satellite technology, which operates in GEO space at 30,000 kilometers and is mainly used for communication and data relay.
Because they are too high above the earth and require high power, this type of satellite is relatively large and has higher technical requirements.
The technical requirements for launching into GEO and LEO are different, and the former is more difficult.
However, for Xinghai Group, due to the powerful payload of Xingkong-1, it is much less difficult than other countries.
An hour later, Mu Yang figured out the geosynchronous communication satellite technology on the system. He chose one of them and spent 100 achievement points.
He didn't spend 10 more achievement points to present the data. He only needed a few more days to export the data.
Unless it was very urgent and the workload was heavy, Mu Yang would not be willing to spend more to achieve some tangible information.
With Xiaobai, data output becomes more efficient.
Another hour later, Mu Yang's brain was a little tired. He took a break and went to the 105th floor to practice his skills in operating Life One.
Since H City Taikang Biomedical Technology Company was acquired by him, he asked the company to help him purchase supplies and equipment. Currently, 95% of them are in the 105th floor laboratory and have been installed.
In the laboratory, there are also ten healthy white mice.
Mu Yang installed surveillance systems in the laboratory, used computer monitoring, and copied part of the operating system from the supercomputing center, thus eliminating most of the useless knowledge.
He called this sub-operating system "Xiao Hei". If there is something abnormal about the white mouse, Xiao Hei will remind Mu Yang.
At present, Mu Yang's hands are already proficient in pipetting and cell preparation and other skills, and he can skillfully conduct some biological experiments.
The original technology of Life One is "a telomerase extension technology", which basically extends telomeres.
The raw materials of Life No. 1 are not traditional Chinese medicine, but pomegranate, brown algae, purslane, palm fruit, etc.
Like pomegranate, it contains ellagic acid, a natural high antioxidant;
Palm fruit is actually one of the raw materials for vitamin E formula.
Developing Life No. 1 is not just a combination of raw materials, it is not that easy.
After Mu Yang struggled for an hour, he no longer wanted to do it. It was too difficult to develop. The current progress was only 1%. It is estimated that it will be successfully developed and it will not be completed in a year or two.
President Zhou Chen called him and told him that a serious safety accident had occurred in the workshop.
"Okay, I'll be in the office in a minute."
Mu Yang put down his work and sighed.
Chapter completed!
