The technological flood of rebirth

Chapter 616: The global satellite communication network is established

Views:

From May 15th to July 15th, after two months of intensive launches, 2,000 satellites were launched into the sky. The launch efficiency completely blinded everyone around the world.

After hundreds of consecutive launches, there was not a single error, and the success rate remained 100%. It not only maintained the future space technology company's record of victory, but also broke the record for the frequency of space satellite launches.

In the past, everyone just thought that the satellite launches of Future Space Technology Company were very stable and there had never been any accidents. However, ordinary people basically did not understand the technology inside.

This time it was a show in front of the world, allowing them to see what ultra-high intensity error-free launch technology is. It can be said that in the field of satellite launch, no one in the world can match it.

Before the establishment of Future Space Technology Company, major countries required a very long time to prepare for launching a rocket, and after the launch was completed, it required a long period of repairs before a second launch could be carried out.

Not to mention launch rocket recovery, which is an original creation of Future Space Technology Company. The current success rate of recovery work is still 100%, making it the most cost-effective launch technology in the global commercial launch market.

More importantly, this time Future Space Technology Company demonstrated the simultaneous launch and recovery technology of multiple arrows, pushing rocket launch to a new level.

Being able to do this is not just about the rocket technology, but more importantly, the launch support system behind it. Without such a powerful launch support system, it would be impossible to complete the simultaneous launch of multiple arrows.

If Future Space Technology Company had only five rocket launch towers, they could launch more rockets at the same time. As long as the supporting system behind it has enough computing power, this data is basically unlimited.

However, with the current capabilities provided by their computing power system, they can fire up to 10 arrows at a time, because this situation rarely occurs, and it is actually a waste to equip them with too high computing power.

Originally, with the great progress of our country's satellite technology and rocket launch technology, our country's satellite applications have become more and more extensive, and the number of satellites our country has has also increased rapidly, and it is close to the number of satellites in Eagle Sauce.

The construction of this global satellite communication network has completely enabled the number of satellites in orbit that our country has to surpass the number of satellites in orbit in other countries, making it the largest satellite application country in the world.

Also in this short period of two months, satellites were launched almost every day, making Hainanese people who originally liked to watch satellite launches become completely accustomed to them and feel that they have become sparse and normal in their lives.

The advancement of rocket launch technology is closely related to missile launch technology. Foreign countries can have a considerable understanding of my country's missile launch technology through our rocket launch technology.

This technology display of Future Space Technology Company also indirectly proves the level of our country's missile launch technology. It will only be higher than what is shown, and it will definitely not be lower.

This is of great benefit to our country's international military deterrence. We do not take the initiative to attack other countries, but we must make other countries understand that active provocations will inevitably be punished.

After all the communication satellites were sent into the predetermined orbit, Future Space Technology Company handed over control of the satellites to Xuantian Technology Company, which completed the next work.

During this period, Xuantian Technology Company was also integrating the TV satellite operation teams of Shangtong Trading Company and ATV, bringing these talents into its own jurisdiction.

Xuantian Technology Company's global satellite communication system is much more advanced in terms of hardware technology, software control system and management. The system was all compiled under the guidance of Zhao Yi and assisted by artificial intelligence.

When Xuantian Technology Company accepted the control of the satellites, it began to fine-tune the satellites in the sky, and then allowed the satellites to communicate with each other to test the coordination and load balancing capabilities of the satellites in space.

After adjusting the communication coordination system between satellites, we will start to conduct communication tests on the ground to see how well the ground equipment receives signals, mainly to test the seamless connection capability, stability capability and data transmission capability.

After all this was completed, half a month passed. On July 30, Xuantian Technology Company officially announced on its official website that the construction of the global satellite communication system was completed and it officially provided satellite communication services to the outside world.

At the same time, their official website of the global satellite communication system is also online, providing almost all online self-services to global users. Users can freely choose to customize related services according to their own needs, which is very convenient.

Xuantian Technology Company does not open business outlets everywhere like ordinary mobile operators. Instead, it uses online self-service to complete relevant work, which can not only save labor costs but also avoid a lot of troubles.

The basis of all this is their electronic communication identification card technology. For example, the next generation smartphones of the three major smartphone manufacturers will come with their own electronic communication identification card technology.

The user only needs to turn on this option, and a temporary communication card will be opened for the user to provide temporary satellite communication. Then through the satellite signal, the user can complete number selection and package selection on the mobile phone. After completing the online payment, it can be used immediately.

However, currently this technology can only be used on global satellite communication networks. If you want to use the services of other mobile operators, you still have to handle business in the original way.

This is because traditional mobile operators come from various countries, and the phone number rules are also strange. They also involve different laws and regulations in more places, making unification very difficult.

Moreover, the original intention of this technology is to facilitate global users to handle global satellite communication network services, not to facilitate other mobile operators, so their needs are not considered too much.

In fact, if you really want to adapt to the business needs of traditional mobile operators, you can actually do it, but it is unnecessary and very troublesome. Only when everyone accepts this virtual card service will it be much easier to promote it.

Of course, the birth of virtual communication cards is not entirely for individual consumers, but more for IoT hardware devices to save the cost of the IoT Unicom satellite communication system.

Compared with the field of personal communication consumption, the Internet of Things requires a wide variety of devices that need to be connected to the Internet, and the number is also very large. If they all need to use physical communication cards, then the relevant procedures can be very troublesome.

As for tariffs, there are two charging methods. The first one is for individual consumers. It adopts a package tariff model and does not charge access fees, which is relatively simple.

For Internet of Things applications, charges are divided into two parts. One part charges for device access. All these charges are mainly to reduce the access pressure of satellites.

The number of IoT devices is very large. If every device is connected, the 20 billion access limit provided by 2,000 satellites is likely to be used up quickly. This approach is a disguised increase in the cost of direct access.

In order to reduce access costs, enterprises can only adopt a centralized access solution and purchase a receiver dedicated to receiving satellite numbers, and then all IoT devices in this area share this access point.

In this way, the number of devices directly connected to the satellite can be directly reduced by more than 100 times, which is of great significance for expanding the carrying capacity of the global satellite communication system.

The direct access fee is paid monthly, and you can pay for many months at a time. The monthly access fee is 50 yuan, which is still relatively expensive. This amount is equivalent to the space fee.

The other part of the cost is based on traffic. The price of 1GB of digital traffic is 1 yuan. Although in later generations, such a price is not cheap, but in this era, it is actually very cheap, which is more than the traffic cost of cellular mobile communication networks. Low.

In the field of personal consumption, access fees are reduced and traffic fees are increased, which can lower the entry threshold, but increase usage costs and prevent competition with existing mobile communication operators.

However, in the field of Internet of Things applications, the access threshold is raised and the cost of use is reduced. On the one hand, it is to reduce costs for large-scale applications of the Internet of Things, and on the other hand, it is to prevent someone from confusing the Internet of Things with personal consumption packages. Zhan Tianxuan Technology Company of cheap.

After Xuantian Technology Company announced the completion of the global satellite communication system and the opening of communication services, various companies under his umbrella began to carry out alternative actions and began to gradually connect to the global satellite communication system.

The current optical fiber network technology is actually relatively friendly to large traffic, but there are still some gaps between it and the 6G standard global satellite communication network in terms of latency and stability.

If the equipment does not have high requirements for network delay and stability, it is not necessary to connect to the global satellite communication network. However, if some equipment has higher requirements for this, you can choose to connect to the global satellite communication network.

And if you want to make good use of 6G services, you not only need to connect to the global satellite communication network, but also the ground-related network facilities need to be updated to the 6G standard to achieve the corresponding results.

Everyone should know about the barrel effect. Although the global satellite communication network has a 6G level, if the corresponding network is of low standard after receiving the signal on the ground, the final result can only be low service standards.

As for the terrestrial 6G network communication equipment, it is authorized to Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technology Company for R&D and production. Xuantian Technology Company only needs to collect patent fees.

If these two companies were not brothers, they would never make such a decision, because the money earned from just collecting patent fees is actually not much, much less than the money earned from equipment. The only advantage is that it does not require a lot of effort.

Currently, regarding 6G terrestrial network equipment, the two companies can only sell it domestically and will not export it for the time being. As of now, only Zhao Yi's company will replace it quickly. Other companies may need to see how the effect is before choosing whether to follow it. Keep up.

Hengtong Communications Company and Huawei Technologies Company have actually developed relevant ground network equipment before global satellite communications were launched and networked.

After all, they have obtained relevant technical information and participated in the research and development of key equipment for the global satellite communication system. It is not difficult for them to come up with relevant parts and equipment in advance.

After the two companies came up with parts and equipment, Tiangong Precision Instrument Company embedded these new network devices in many of its own equipment and various sensors.

Because almost all the companies under Zhao Yi need to use various equipment and sensors from Tiangong Precision Instrument Company, the work here is progressing quickly, which will help brother companies to carry out replacement work as soon as possible.

Just after it was announced that it would start providing services, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s IoT agricultural demonstration area was the first to use it. With the addition of artificial intelligence technology, it has achieved almost unmanned management, greatly reducing the work of manual participation. quantity.

After the IoT agricultural demonstration area here is further improved, the IoT + artificial intelligence management model will be launched in all planting areas of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to improve agricultural efficiency and reduce management costs.

In particular, the offshore farms of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company are far away from the mainland, so it is difficult to conduct network management through optical fiber networks. The level of intelligence is low and the degree of manual participation is high.

The use of smart IoT this time can significantly reduce the amount of direct manual labor involved. Although it does not reduce the number of employees, it can greatly reduce the work intensity of employees.

At that time, employees only need to sit in the house on the offshore platform and control various intelligent mechanical equipment through the Internet of Things to perform various tasks without having to take the lead, which increases unnecessary risks.

The sea is very rough and rough. Although all safety measures are in place, some accidents are inevitable. Although there have been no casualties among employees so far, falling into the water is not uncommon.

With the intelligent Internet of Things, agricultural production in the future will no longer be physical work. Just like white-collar workers sitting in the office, they can get things done while drinking coffee and blowing on the air conditioner. This is what modern agriculture should be like. .

It is also because Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has improved my country's agricultural production construction and technology to an unprecedented level. Agriculture is no longer "facing the loess and back to the sky" before, which has led to a surge in the number of applicants for my country's agricultural subjects.

Moreover, the development of high-tech agriculture in our country cannot be separated from enough outstanding talents. Various colleges and universities have also expanded their enrollment quotas for related majors, making our country's talent reserve in this area more abundant.

In the future, without some technical and theoretical foundation, it will not be easy to participate in agricultural production. It will no longer require heavy physical labor like the previous generations of parents.

Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s agricultural intelligent IoT demonstration area basically requires few people to work on site. All links are completed by staff sitting in the office through the intelligent Internet of Things.

For example, various status analyzes of plant growth will be analyzed through various sensors and on-site videos, and then compiled into various data through artificial intelligence analysis systems.

The staff can clearly understand the growth status of the plants through these data, how to proceed next, and they can also analyze it from the data.

Of course, this is work only performed by more advanced agricultural technicians. Low-level agricultural practitioners do not even need to analyze the data. They can directly operate according to the suggestions given by the intelligent system, which is very convenient.

They do not need to go there in person to perform agricultural operations. They only need to issue relevant instructions to order the intelligent equipment to carry out operations at the designated location. It is very smart.

This is what agriculture will look like in the future, so it will be difficult for illiterate people to engage in agricultural labor in the future. This is why Zhao Yi would rather give out extra rewards and conduct a nationwide literacy campaign to reduce the illiteracy rate.

Because he knows very well that in the future, it will be difficult for illiterate people to engage in high-tech jobs, whether in cities or rural areas. The range of available jobs is too narrow, which is not conducive to their survival.

Now you can still find a job transporting agricultural crops. In the future, when autonomous driving technology breaks through the bottleneck, such jobs may no longer exist. This is a real problem.

Baiwei Food Company has its own planting areas and has also begun to build smart IoT applications, but the speed is still far behind Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.

As for the large amounts of land and farms it purchased abroad, Baiwei Food Company currently has no plans to start building the Internet of Things. It will only consider promoting it abroad after it is very mature in China and has a very high coverage area.

This is not to say that Baiwei Food Company came up with this idea. According to the characteristics of the company, the pursuit of efficiency and profit is of course the first priority, and other issues are secondary.

But as the helm of the national economy, Zhao Yi thinks much more than individual companies. The domestic Internet of Things has only just developed, and there is actually a lot of room for improvement in many areas.

Promoting IoT applications abroad at this time is not conducive to my country's establishment of a technological advantage in this field, especially since my country's current proportion of senior talents is relatively low. Compared with countries in Europe and the United States that have developed for many years, there is still a certain gap.

If Zhao Yi's role is excluded, our country may not be able to compete in the field of Internet of Things. Even if it has a great technological advantage now, it will be caught up by the latecomer advantage.

Therefore, regarding the application of the Internet of Things, it is currently only carried out under his banner to improve and develop the Internet of Things. When the foundation is very mature, it will be promoted to other domestic enterprises, thus taking the lead in fully implementing the construction of the Internet of Things in our country.

This can improve our country's competitive advantages in all aspects, reduce the work intensity of our country's labor participants, and improve the income level of our country's labor participants.

So he knows that doing so may reduce the operating income of his companies, but he still does it. After all, compared to the development of the entire domestic industry, a small personal loss is nothing.

After it was announced that the global satellite communication system would begin to provide services to the outside world, the three major smartphone companies successively announced new product launch conferences and officially launched second-generation smartphone products and related accessories.

The biggest highlight of this smartphone is that it can access the global satellite communication network at any time. If the charges are not objectionable, it is much more advanced than the existing cellular mobile communication network.

As for other highlights, although they are nothing in his opinion, to the outside world, there is still a lot to talk about, such as bone-to-bone calling technology, fingerprint security technology, higher waterproof technology, etc.

It's just that current consumers may not pay much attention to the biggest highlights of the second-generation smartphones, but are more interested in these "minutiae", because most people can use these functions. (End of chapter)
