After the experiment was successful, Zhao Yi did not leave Wenchang because there would be a satellite launch mission in three days, and he had to wait until the satellite launch mission was completed to leave here.
The next day, Zhao Yi personally invited all the personnel at the Wenchang launch base to have a meal together, thanking them for their hard work during this period, so that the launch experiment was successfully completed.
During this period, the leader of the national team hinted to Zhao Yi that such cooperation can be strengthened in the future. This will not only solve the talent problem for Zhao Yi, but also solve the current financial difficulties of the national team. Scientific researchers cannot get good practical training. They can help Zhao Yi Gain experience in this area, and you can also solve some of the financial problems.
There must be nothing wrong with Zhao Yi. The fundamental purpose of investing in the aerospace field was not to make money. To be honest in this industry, you don't make much money, and you may even lose a lot of money.
Isn't the reason why you are still involved in this project just to enable the country to catch up with the international advanced level in the aerospace field? As for why not directly donate money to the national team
In Zhao Yi's view, there must be a distinction between public and private matters in the economy. You can help in other ways. Donating money directly may lead to political issues. This is the worst policy. There may be no problem now, but you won't know later. There is no problem anymore.
Whether Shen Wansan's donation of money to build the city wall could be avoided or not, each character should only do what their role should do, not overstep others, and each should perform his or her own duties.
A verbal agreement was reached at the wine table. After returning, Zhao Yi called Liu Xing, the head of Future Space Technology Company, and told him about the cooperation and asked him to contact him about the cooperation. He did not care about these matters himself. of.
There is nothing going on here for the time being, so Zhao Yi went to Sanya to see what the situation was like there. It was sad to say that he had never been here in his previous life. Since he had come to Hainan this time, he planned to Take a trip.
As a result, when we came here, the beach was very beautiful. After all, there was no pollution at this time, but the surrounding area was very desolate. No one was in the mood to come here to surf and bask in the sun. At this time, the people were busy running for life, so there was no one to come here.
Zhao Yi doesn't seem to be interested in walking alone. Sure enough, no matter what personality a person is, the group attributes can never be changed. Feeling bored, he walked around and quietly slipped back.
After returning to Wenchang, I took a day off. Tomorrow is the day of satellite launch. Although it is not as nervous as the last experiment, I still plan to go to the site to see it.
Sure enough, there were no accidents during the launch. When the communication satellite entered the designated geosynchronous orbit, the R&D personnel on site had smiles on their faces, but they were much calmer and calmer than last time.
Now that the communication satellite is in place, Zhao Yi asked Lin Hexia to prepare for Asia TV to be put on the star. In the future, this communication satellite will be used by Asia TV. All channels of Asia TV will be put on the star, providing viewers throughout Asia. TV Programming Services.
These were all the original plans, and all you had to do was follow the procedures. But I didn’t expect that the staff of the Radio and Television Department (now ****, hereafter referred to as ****) found Zhao Yi and hoped to rent this place. A communication satellite will be installed on the main TV channels of each province.
Currently, mainland TV channels, except for some CCTV channels that can be watched nationwide, other provincial TV channels can only be broadcast in their own provinces. This is not a system restriction, but terrestrial broadcasting cannot cover the entire China, and TV stations in various provinces do not have such large investments to build so many transmission towers.
Now that we know that Zhao Yi has developed and manufactured a communication satellite and sent it to the sky, then satellite TV can be realized, and viewers across the country can watch satellite TV channels in the future. This is very helpful for enriching the entertainment life of domestic people and understanding the news events happening across the country.
When Zhao Yi told the staff at **** that this communication satellite was only for his own Asia Television and was not intended to be rented, the people at **** knew that Zhao Yi had acquired Yuanli’s TV and changed its name to Asia Television. The news, this was reported to the superiors at the beginning.
Now that Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong have begun, the higher-ups are also very concerned about the work of guiding public opinion in Hong Kong. When Zhao Yi reported that he wanted to acquire Li TV, they were of course very happy. This is beneficial to the mainland. , quickly expressed their support.
Since this communication satellite cannot be rented, Zhao Yi proposed that they cooperate to purchase a communication satellite. Future Space Technology Company will help you manufacture and launch it, and help them put TV channels on the satellite.
This proposal may have been considered by people in ****, but they originally thought that the bandwidth of this communication satellite was redundant, so it would be more cost-effective to rent it. Since this goal cannot be achieved, it is not impossible to consider purchasing one.
After they gave Zhao Yi the reply that he wanted to go back to study and discuss, they left here. After Zhao waited for them to leave, he gave Liu Xing of Future Space Technology Company an order to build an identical communication satellite, told him about the possible purchase of the satellite, and asked him to prepare.
Zhao Yi didn't pay much attention to how they discussed it when they went back, because it is a general trend for TV programs to be starred, especially for a country as big as ours. This is the most economical way.
Sure enough, within a week, someone from **** contacted Zhao Yi and told him that he planned to purchase a communication satellite. The satellite launch mission could also be handed over to Future Space Technology Company, but subsequent maintenance and other work must be handed over to the state. unit.
Zhao Yi was not surprised by their request. He had already thought of this, so he agreed and let them discuss it with the person in charge of Future Space Technology Company.
After many negotiations, the price of the communication satellite was US$120 million, the launch cost was US$30 million, the rocket cost was US$30 million, and the insurance cost accounted for 20% of the previous total, which is US$36 million (underwritten by Pacific Insurance Company), totaling 216 million US dollars. Dollar. The current exchange rate is around 1.9249, which means the total launch cost is 415.7784 million yuan, and the future space technology company will be 346.482 million yuan. Given a preferential price, the final charge is 346 million yuan.
A communication satellite can broadcast 60 TV channels around the clock and can also be used for other communication purposes. Its service life is 15 years. On average, at 400 million yuan, the annual cost of each channel is only more than 440,000 yuan, which is quite cheap.
Presumably, provincial TV stations in various provinces in the country are willing to spend this amount of money every year to get their comprehensive channels on the stars. This is not only a good opportunity to promote their provinces, but also maximize the interests of their own TV stations. Although there are no advertisements now, it does not mean that there will not be advertisements in the future. At that time, the advertising fees will be more than this.
The satellite research and development base is now very familiar with the process. It manufactured an identical communication satellite in one month, and then arranged the launch work to send the satellite into geosynchronous orbit.
If you want to achieve global coverage, at least three geostationary satellites are needed. Asia Television is still in the integration stage and has no need for this for the time being. When the integration is completed and all channels are launched, then two more geostationary communication satellites will be needed. Covering the world is not only to increase its own viewing audience, but also to serve global journalists, allowing them to deliver news information to the headquarters in real time and provide faster and more accurate news broadcasts to global users.
The ground satellite signal personal receiving equipment and TV tower receiving equipment are developed and produced by Polaris Technology Company, and the trading company is responsible for sales. (End of chapter)
