For twenty-five days, all the partners in the SkyNet project were working intensively and orderly to coordinate. The news of the upcoming test launch has already spread throughout the world, and countless people are staring at this launch.
Whether the Skynet project can succeed or not, whether the legendary sixth-generation mobile communication technology is true or false... everything will be revealed.
At the National Satellite Launch Base, three SkyStar test satellites have been installed on the launch vehicle. According to calculations, they will be sent into low-Earth orbit, and the radiation range will be some cities in northern China.
Although this was a commercial launch and not a national test, the national television station still sent a media team to broadcast the launch scene live.
Whether it is an online platform or a live TV broadcast, audiences across the country can see the launch site for the first time.
The wind was sunny and cloudless, which was perfect weather for rocket launches. Lu Zixin and others have been waiting in the command room for a long time. This launch is the first step of the Sky Net plan. Once the trial run is successful, it means that it is only a matter of time before the Sky Net plan is completed!
"I'm really nervous!" Tang Gang took a deep breath and said, "A rocket launch costs hundreds of millions, plus the cost of research and development and satellites, we can't afford to fail!"
"It will definitely succeed!" Su Zhirong encouraged, "The ground base stations are ready, just waiting for the satellite to take off and transmit the signal."
Lu Zi's confidence was also a little uneasy. He still had some confidence in the functions of small satellites, but he was afraid that the rocket launch would fail! This kind of thing is also very likely to happen.
At this time, tens of thousands of employees at Hongxin Group were also staring at the live broadcast, nervous and excited.
"The launch must be successful, and the satellite must also operate successfully!" Many people prayed. This is a historic step for Red Letter. As long as it succeeds, Red Letter will officially rise on the international stage!
"Bless the Bodhisattva, bless the Jade Emperor, bless God, bless everything!"
"The star of the sky must fly to the sky!"
"As long as the small satellite successfully operates, I would rather not eat braised pork for a month!"
…
On the online live broadcast platform, the live broadcast room where the rocket launch is broadcast is also extremely popular. The homepages of large live broadcast platforms all have the same picture, but they still attract millions of netizens to watch the live broadcast.
The anchor is introducing to everyone: "The rocket will be launched in 15 minutes. This time it will carry three small satellites into low-Earth orbit at once. Once the satellites are successfully docked with the store base station, people in the test area can use signals from the satellites mobile network communication!”
"Attention, this is a 6G network! The legendary 1TB 6G network per second!"
On the barrage, comments kept coming: "It's amazing, 6G network, so my 1T seed can be downloaded in one second?"
"Brothers in front of me, please lend me a piece of music!"
"Didn't you say that this plan was impossible to realize before? Why are you launching satellites now?"
"I don't want to know anything else. I just want to know if our village can use 6G network? Damn it, our village can't even use 4G network!"
"Sit back and wait, I hope the Sky Star can run successfully and let other countries see that our country's technology is not bad either!"
"Hurry up and shoot! I haven't even eaten. I've been waiting for a long time!"
…
In China, senior executives of many large technology companies are also waiting in front of the live video, waiting for the results.
China's three major telecom operators, Huawei, Dami, Penguin, Keli, Qiandu, VI, OP... As long as companies involved in high-tech industries are paying attention, there are also a large number of financial institutions.
On the whole, if Hongxin manages to operate a 6G network, it will have a positive effect on China's overall economic market, and most people want to see it succeed.
However, foreign entrepreneurs do not think so. Those in high positions in the US telecom operators, Federal Communications Commission, Department of Commerce, and even the White House are all concerned about this matter.
"The Chinese people will definitely fail, and God will not bless them!" Some people curse in their hearts, such as Tyler Walker. His main personal asset is the stock of Qualcomm in the United States. Once the Red Letter succeeds, Qualcomm's stock price will definitely fall. There is no doubt that .
Wall Street capitalists also suspended other activities to pay attention to this matter.
Island countries, Korea, the European Union, Russia... No one dares to ignore this matter!
Hongxin has set up a total of thirty signal test points in Beijing and Shanghai, these two big cities in China.
At each signal test point, there are people carrying testing equipment waiting to connect to the network signal of the test satellite.
These testers are also waiting anxiously, not knowing whether they will be able to detect the wireless network signal from the satellite here in a few hours.
The time is approaching little by little, and it is less than a minute before the scheduled launch time.
In the rocket launch base, everyone's nerves were tense. Next, it was time to send small satellites into space!
"Everything is normal, ready to launch! Countdown begins, ten, nine..."
The commander shouted the command, which echoed throughout the base through the sound transmission equipment, and could be heard clearly on the TV.
"Three, two, one, ignite the fire!" Following the commander's order, the bottom of the launch vehicle suddenly burst into flames.
The rocket roared and soared into the sky!
"Launched!"
"Heaven!"
"Come on!"
"Ah!" Countless people screamed at the same time, but the people in the command room did not relax. This was just the beginning. The most critical thing is that there should be no accidents in the next process, the small satellite must be sent to the predetermined orbit and the signal docking must be successful!
In the command room, everyone tried to remain stable, and even their breathing was deliberately slowed down. The successful launch will take more than ten minutes.
The intended orbit of the small satellite is not high, it is running in low-Earth orbit, so the process will be very short.
Lu Zixin looked at the picture, and the rocket rushed out of the atmosphere. Fortunately, the commercial rocket technology of Aerospace Engineering Company was still relatively mature, so there were no accidents, and all the feedback data were normal.
The first Skystar test satellite was sent to the predetermined orbit and began to self-start and adjust its orbit.
Then came the second one and the third one. This series of processes is very fast and does not require more time. When the third test satellite was also sent to the predetermined orbit, the launch vehicle completed its mission and began to fall off.
In the command room, the employees of the Aerospace Engineering Department cheered. For them, their mission had been completed.
But for everyone at Hongxin, this is just the beginning. Next, satellite orbit adjustment and signal testing will be carried out. This is the top priority!
At the ground signal base station, Hongxin staff are connecting to the SkyStar test satellite and correcting the satellite's orbit.
