Chapter 539 The Storm Is Coming!
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 test data came from the front.
Five satellites happened to pass over H City and fell into the shooting range of its optical satellites. The ground control center ordered the optical satellites to take several sets of ground-based smart city street photos.
When this satellite was photographed, the visibility was average, but there was no electromagnetic interference, and the altitude was at perigee of 700 kilometers.
In the photo, the outline of the face is slightly blurred. If it is an acquaintance, you may be able to recognize it. You can clearly see the color and outline of the license plate, but you cannot clearly see the license plate number.
But if it is at apogee (the satellite is at the farthest point of the elliptical orbit), the effect will definitely be worse;
But if it is closer, at an altitude of 500 kilometers, the visibility will be better, and the effect will be even better.
The star network has a full orbit. When the earth rotates, it will always be photographed by satellites at perigee 24 hours a day.
Optical satellites are combined with radar satellites, and after systematic and comprehensive processing, a color three-dimensional map of the city is produced. The processed image is clearer and the resolution is improved again, so that the license plate number can be clearly seen.
When the clarity reached this level, it was of great significance. Mu Yang ordered Ye Fan to lock the authority and strengthen personnel confidentiality training. Unless there are special circumstances, it is prohibited to use high-definition photography and adopt systematic comprehensive processing. It is prohibited to disclose satellite photos to avoid
Company technology leaked.
Muyang divides satellite authority into four levels, with level one being the lowest and level four being the highest.
Commercial without membership (Level 1): Can clearly see the outlines of large buildings and streets, which is not much different from satellites with an international resolution of 0.5 meters.
Commercial VIP member (Level 2): Can clearly see the outline of small buildings, distinguish trucks from cars, blur human beings, and cannot distinguish animals from people.
For use by national monarchs and ordinary scientific researchers in companies (Level 3): Can see humans clearly, but cannot tell who they are. For example, observing from a few hundred meters away has surpassed the top level of international spy satellites.
Special for special circumstances (Level 4): Can clearly see the license plate number and face outline
If it were processed by another satellite system, the photos could only be roughly distinguished from trucks and cars, but animals and people could not be distinguished. However, this is already the highest resolution of publicly available satellites.
But the general appearance can still be distinguished, and it can be tracked. With close-range face recognition by drones, it can be targeted and killed.
It can be said that as long as the star network layout is almost complete, the drones are equipped with weapon systems, and as long as the target is within the range of the drone, the Xinghai Group can control drones such as photoelectric guidance attacks to kill targets around the world.
Xinghai Group’s satellite system will not fall behind in the next ten years.
After more than ten years, the satellite life has reached the end.
Xinghai Group needs tens of billions of yuan to maintain the star network every year. Of course, it must be opened to commercial use so that the star network can continue to be maintained.
Two days later, Mu Yang completed reviewing the operation of the Xingdou-1 test satellite and officially issued the task of mass production.
Today is June 8th,
Satellites are different from other products in that they involve many processes and complex processes.
From raw materials leaving the warehouse to passing the inspection of the entire satellite, it needs to go through cabin-level assembly, satellite final assembly, entire satellite electrical performance test, communication load test, mechanical accuracy test, solar wing installation and performance test, quality characteristics test, vibration test
, vacuum thermal test, leak detection test and more than ten procedures.
Most of the process links will be replaced by machines and turned into assembly line operations, greatly improving production efficiency.
It is necessary to "understand" every process and process flow in the traditional assembly process, then study how to optimize a certain process, and then connect the optimized processes in series to form a complete process flow.
Satellites of the same model, configuration, size, and weight with the same specifications, and they are small satellites, can be mass-produced very quickly.
It plans to produce 100 satellites per day and 20,000 satellites within 200 days.
If it is a satellite that weighs two or three tons and has different models and sizes, the efficiency must of course be
It’s much slower. With the same personnel, it’s good to be able to make one or two hundred pills a year.
The satellites have been debugged and are ready for countdown batch launch. In other words, the satellite network will be officially launched before New Year's Day this year.
By then, Xinghai Group will officially reveal to the world the true face of Starry Sky One's terrifying carrying capacity: more than three hundred stars with one arrow!
And its rocket recovery capabilities!
It is also there that the global landscape will find subtle changes.
Not only does Xinghai Group need to be prepared, but the country also needs to be prepared to see if it can withstand the pressure from Western countries.
Mu Yang and Zhou Chen came to the satellite production department in person, then called the quality manager in charge of satellite production, and explained with the production manager:
"Okay, Chairman, Mr. Zhou, we must complete the task according to the time points and ensure quality."
Mu Yang solemnly said: "Well, it is normal for the early production to be slower. The quality must be ensured. Otherwise, the satellite launched into the sky will be a pile of scrap metal, and it will have to be re-launched, which will cost more than the cost of one satellite.
Therefore, when quality department personnel conduct quality inspections, you must cooperate with the inspections. If you find quality problems yourself, you must actively deal with them instead of hiding them.
If you achieve 100% zero defects, I will reward your production department and quality department. The minimum reward for each ordinary employee is 50,000 yuan, and double the reward for management personnel.
This reward is additional and not available at any time, unlike the year-end bonus.
Launched into the sky, a satellite is found to be defective, and the reward is reduced by meters
If two satellites are found to have quality problems, there will be no reward. Every time the quality department finds a problem, you must give them an equal portion of the reward.
However, similarly, if the satellite after launch is found to have quality problems and cannot operate normally, neither department will receive rewards.
Muyang knows that it is useless to motivate employees just by talking about piecing together the pie. Corresponding incentives must be provided to motivate them.
At the same time, certain constraints must be imposed to ensure quality.
The production manager and quality manager responsible for the satellite production project were suddenly under pressure, but they were also very excited because there were additional rewards.
But they know that rewards are hard to come by.
"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 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.
This is what he said, as long as the zero-defect goal is achieved, everyone 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, everyone's rewards will be cancelled.
This is a test of the cooperative spirit of our team and whether we all have the confidence to complete the task!"
"have!"
When the workers and team leaders heard the leader's words, they were instantly excited, as if they had been injected with blood.
There is a reward! At least 50,000 yuan!
It’s worth more than half a year’s salary for them. I never thought such a good thing could happen.
Of course, they know that it is very difficult to achieve the goal of completely zero defects. It is impossible for one person to complete the task. It depends on all members, and the pressure suddenly increases.
"It's great, everyone is very motivated, but it's very difficult to do it."
Brothers, I want you to be alert, open your eyes wide, and check not to miss a screw or a beat of data!
If one person has a problem, it is not a problem of one person, but a problem of the team. Everyone should supervise each other." The production manager said seriously, "We will not fight an unprepared battle. I hope everyone is familiar with every process and is not trying to prepare for the battle. If it really
That way, if something goes wrong, you won't know.
Therefore, in the past few days, while the production line is still being debugged, we will form a team for the same process, communicate with each other, learn from each other, and check for leaks and fill in the gaps."
The entire atmosphere was filled with 70% passion and 30% pressure, and everyone was like a warrior rushing into battle.
The scope of personnel rewarded for this production task includes, in addition to the production department and quality department responsible for satellite production, on-site technical personnel.
After Mu Yang and Zhou Chen left the production department, they walked and chatted on their way back to the office.
"Chairman, zero defects is not easy to achieve.
"I know that if there is no pressure, there will be no motivation. When our company reaches the top level in the world, it is actually fighting every Western country. In fact, it is the same as mobilizing to fight. We cannot make mistakes.
Our company has been established for seven years, and the corporate culture of unity and collaboration 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 Ruo pointed out.
"Well, I understand. After the Star Network was announced, it threatened the strategic security of all countries. We will openly fight against the whole world and face all kinds of difficulties."
"Yes, we can only rely on the country behind us, but in the end it still depends on our own strength. As long as we are strong enough, others will be afraid of us, but one day when we are weak, they will definitely step on us and prevent us from rising again.
We are different from traditional companies. In fact, when we monopolized each technology industry, they should have realized it. I guess they didn’t expect that we would develop Star Network.” Muyang Tai knew that Musk’s Star Chain provided various countries with
What kind of trouble will it cause? All countries are opposed to it.
If there is not an ugly country behind it, how can a company survive?
five days later,
The Xingdou No. 1 production line has been debugged and started production.
On June 18, the first batch of 100 Xingdou-1 satellites was assembled and entered the entire satellite electrical performance testing stage.
The production arrangement is not to arrange 20,000 satellites at once, because the materials for 20,000 satellites are very large and cannot be stacked on one workstation.
Instead, it is divided into batches of 100 satellite materials, and when used up, you will receive the next small batch of 100 satellite materials.
At this stage of production, Mu Yang rarely stared at it.
Because the matter was so important, Zhou Chen would go on patrol every two or three days. Otherwise, he would have too many things to do and would not have the time to focus on one 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 must 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 to launch 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.
Employees of all relevant satellite departments are running a marathon nervously and orderly, waiting until the end of the year for the final sprint.
Before the satellite is launched, Mu Yang also needs to make other preparations, such as transferring the shares of the overseas Hummer company as soon as possible.
He has been reducing his shareholdings in the past two years, but due to regulations, the number of shareholdings reduced each year is limited.
There is no way to reduce it. Once Star Network succeeds, Chou Country may break out and directly confiscate his shares on the grounds that Xinghai Group threatens Chou Country's security. There will no longer be any confiscation of foreign shares that will affect foreign investment.
Because Xinghai Group has indeed affected the security of Chou Country, and there is really a reason for them to do this.
Even if there is no real impact for the time being, it is equivalent to putting a knife to someone's neck. This is a sufficient reason to confiscate Xinghai Group's property.
Time has arrived at the beginning of July in a blink of an eye.
The company has produced 752 Xingdou-1 satellites, but the start was not smooth. In addition, the production department and quality department strictly controlled the quality. Many quality problems were discovered during the production process, and there was too much rework.
Even if there is the slightest problem, they have to rework it. They are really afraid that if something goes wrong after the launch is completed, their reward will be wasted.
Of course, they are also under great pressure. The chairman requires 200 days to complete the task.
On the 5th, Yang Nian, President of Xinghai Investment Company, returned
Reporting work in H City. After Yang Nian finished reporting on the investment company and Xinghai Bank, Mu Yang solemnly said:
"Mr. Yang, the Xinghai Group's rocket base will launch a Starnet satellite at the end of the year, which threatens the Chou Country.
This news is still in a highly confidential stage and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. I am here to tell you that no one can reveal it outside this door, including your family.
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 this.
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 finish handling the shares of overseas Hummer company.
No matter what the form is, whether it is sold to an overseas structure or transferred, try to transfer the assets back to the country."
Yang Nian was shocked when he heard this. The boss's decision was too sudden.
The boss has been reducing his holdings in overseas Hummer shares, but he can only do so in the secondary market in accordance with the rules. The transfers are very small, which has seriously affected the stock price.
If not, the current share price of overseas Hummer companies is 1.5 times its current price.
"Boss, what kind of relationship will the two companies maintain after the shares are transferred? Will they continue to maintain a cooperative relationship?"
"After all, overseas Hummer companies are our subsidiaries. Even after the transfer, those overseas employees have contributed to us.
President John is loyal to me. I will call him when the time comes and I will find a way to ensure his status.
Even if the company's shares are transferred, the headquarters can still continue to cooperate. After all, the annual export profits are quite a lot." Mu Yang said seriously, "As for Tesla Company, there is no need to continue cooperation. Domestic new energy companies have completed their layout, especially
Sila Company's market share is not large.
In addition, the nature of Musk’s space company is different.
So, don’t worry about Tesla, it will be your enemy in the future.”
"Okay, then I understand how to deal with it." The amount of information Yang Nian got was too much.
"Go ahead and pay attention to your safety. After completing these two things, you will not go abroad for the time being at the end of the year. We will wait until the situation calms down. You are my core subordinate. I am worried that they will not be able to deal with me and will use you to vent their anger."
"OK."
After Mu Yang finished explaining, Yang Nian left the chairman's office with some heaviness.
It seems that a storm is coming.
