After saving all the wine, I originally thought that I would have a few days of rest. However, the next day I received news from Future Space Technology Company that all 35 satellites of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System had been launched and the network test had been successful. If the technical design requirements are met, the service can be activated on a selected date.
If it were just a matter of his own company, Zhao Yi could find a reason to be lazy and let his subordinates do it themselves, but after all, the Beidou satellite navigation system still involves the military.
This involves the development of the military's military strength, making the military's demand for more accurate satellite navigation and positioning systems a certain degree of urgency.
Zhao Yi took the phone and said to Liu Xing: "I understand, I will contact people from the National Military Commission to come with me, and you will make preparations."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yi called Zhang Ruimin of Polaris Company again and asked if they had developed a navigator. They received a positive reply. They were just waiting for the Beidou satellite navigation system to be officially commercialized. Since the Polaris navigator has been developed If it comes out, it means that the navigation chip has been developed by the semiconductor company.
This is just a commercial chip. This chip does not need to consider the complex battlefield environment, so it will be much faster. Military navigation chips need to have strong anti-interference performance, higher signal stability, and even require many other protective measures, such as waterproofing. , anti-collision and other properties.
So after getting a positive reply from Polaris Company, Zhao Yi still called the semiconductor company and asked about the research status of military navigation chips. If the research and development and design have been completed, then after the satellite navigation system is activated, they can immediately produce it. After the chip is produced and tested in actual environments, it can be installed on military equipment as quickly as possible.
In fact, the military navigation chip developed by the semiconductor company has not yet been commissioned by the military. Zhao Yi privately asked the semiconductor company to develop it. Of course, the research and development of this kind of non-dangerous military equipment does not require permission from the military. Each company can carry out it on its own. However, as to whether it will be included in the military procurement catalog, it requires people from the military. Decided.
After this kind of military navigation chip comes out, we definitely hope to get military orders. After all, the civilian market cannot use this kind of chip. Not only is this chip much more expensive than civilian chips, but its actual computing power is not as good as civilian chips. The most expensive thing is stability and strong anti-interference, but these technical measures are not needed at all in the civilian market.
It stands to reason that semiconductor companies have a dedicated military chip R&D department. This department is managed separately and there are also some R&D personnel from the military. However, there is no clear entrustment from the military to let this department undertake the research and development of navigation chips. This is a bit It was beyond Zhao Yi's expectation.
When he first decided to build the Beidou satellite navigation system, Zhao Yi thought that the military would proactively contact semiconductor companies and commission the development of military navigation chips, so he did not mention this idea to the military.
After all, in the field of chip research and development in China, our own semiconductor companies have an absolute leading advantage. If we want to quickly obtain military navigation chips, there is no reason not to ask semiconductor companies for help.
It was out of this consideration that he did not raise this issue at the beginning, but a month later the semiconductor company did not receive a commission from the military, so it was very embarrassing.
Fortunately, Zhao Yi told people at the semiconductor company that if there was no commission from the military within a month, they would be allowed to develop it on their own.
If Zhao Yi really wants to know the whole story, he can actually ask Zhou Ling to tell him, but Zhao Yi is also a person with a temper. If the military does not contact the semiconductor company to solve the problem of the navigation chip, he Zhao Yi will not take the initiative to send it to his door. beg.
Anyway, the military navigation chip has been developed. It is enough to mention it at this opening ceremony. It is up to them whether to use it or not. There is no need to dwell on the reasons.
Since Zhou Ling did not warn him, it means that it will not have much impact on him, and Zhao Yi has not yet taken a little economic loss to heart.
I made a call to the Military Commission and told them that the Beidou Satellite Navigation System has been successfully networked and has met the conditions for official launch. I hope they will send someone to attend the opening ceremony.
Maybe the satellite navigation system is indeed very important to the military. Within an hour after calling, I got a reply, and someone will be sent to Guangzhou tomorrow to attend the opening ceremony of the Beidou satellite navigation system.
Since they plan to go there tomorrow, there is no need for Zhao Yi to fly there today, and they also plan to go there together tomorrow. There is no point in going there now. He believes Liu Xing can handle the specific preparations.
To be honest, apart from providing some technical information and initial training to Future Space Technology Company, Zhao Yi really didn't take care of other things, and Liu Xing handled them in an orderly manner.
Early the next morning, after Zhao had breakfast, he rushed to the Capital Airport. In the past, there were only two flights a day from Kyoto to Guangzhou. Now, due to the addition of China Airlines, the number of flights from Kyoto to Guangzhou has increased by two, which means there are four flights a day. The flight ticket Zhao Yi ordered was from his own airline. s plane.
The purpose of this is to inspect the service situation of the airline he flies to while going to Guangzhou. Since the airline he flies to actually operates, Zhao Yi has not flown on his own airline, so he will take the opportunity to see how the situation is this time. .
After arriving at the Capital Airport and taking out his ID card to exchange for a boarding ticket, Zhao Yi went to the terminal of his airline at the Capital Airport. As soon as he entered the terminal, he saw several people wearing military uniforms. He guessed that They were the military representatives who went to Guangzhou to attend the opening ceremony of the Beidou satellite navigation system.
Zhao Yi dragged his luggage and walked over. The military personnel also noticed him. Apparently they knew Zhao Yi. One of the soldiers stood up and greeted Zhao Yi with a smile. The other soldiers also stood up, but there was no How to speak.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Zhao Yi learned that the soldier who spoke was named Liu Junqing. Zhao Yi took the opportunity to sit next to him and said to Major General Liu Junqing: "You are also going to attend the opening ceremony of the Beidou satellite navigation system, right?"
The major general was a straight-tempered person and said to Zhao Yi: "Looking at what you said, he must be attending the opening ceremony of the Beidou satellite navigation system, otherwise we may not know Mr. Zhao."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yi felt a little embarrassed. He seemed to be right. His acquaintance with people in the military was really limited. He had not yet reached the point where everyone knew him. If he hadn't interacted with him at work, It's normal for them not to recognize themselves.
Realizing this, I realized that I had asked a very stupid question.
"Look at me, what question am I asking?" Zhao Yi smiled self-deprecatingly at Liu Junqing and said.
"It's okay, don't mind if I speak straightly." Liu Junqing said to Zhao Yi with a smile.
When Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. You still know that you are too blunt in your words, and you don't know how to restrain yourself or be tactful
"What are your military's plans for the Beidou satellite navigation system?" Zhao Yi ignored the embarrassment and continued to ask.
"Logically speaking, none of this should be disclosed to outsiders. Since Mr. Zhao asked, I will also explain the situation." Liu Junqing said.
"Uh, do we need to chat somewhere with fewer people?" Zhao Yi heard this, looked around and asked Liu Junqing.
"It's okay, I'll just say it briefly without going into details." Liu Junqing saw Zhao Yi's reaction and looked around and said.
"Actually, we also want to apply the Beidou satellite navigation system to military equipment immediately, but it is not going very smoothly. There are too many things that need to be changed. It is estimated that there will be a process." Liu Junqing said softly.
Hearing his words, Zhao Yi immediately understood what he meant. Now our country's military aircraft and other equipment have been designed. If the Beidou satellite navigation system is added, a lot of design changes will be needed, especially the avionics system and the rocket. Control the system.
The design and modification of the avionics system and the fire control system are a cumbersome matter. Previously, they only obtained some parameters of the Beidou satellite navigation system, but they have not yet been put into actual use. They do not have an environment to test according to the actual situation, so they are still in the On paper, this explains why they haven't commissioned a semiconductor company to develop a military navigation chip.
"I don't know if you know it, but Tianxing Semiconductor Company has developed a military navigation chip. If you need it, you can contact them." Zhao Yi said. (End of chapter)
