"I don't even know what weight this satellite will reach. Can our rockets really send it up? Can our rockets really put such a big guy in the carrying space of our rockets?"

Hu Lai was stunned. He actually forgot about the rocket thrust.

A moment later.

Pang Dalong, the head of the "Zero Degree Space" Rocket Company who attended the meeting, took over the conversation.

"At present, our mature technology, Clippers series launch vehicles can carry up to 1.4 tons of satellites into the sky, but the size cannot be too large."

“1.4 tons are too far away!”

"According to Mr. Hu's statement, 20 tons are probably not enough to catch."

Hearing Zhou Damin's voice, Pang Dalong immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head.

20 tons?

The rocket with a low-Earth orbit capacity of 20 tons is already a heavy launch vehicle. Not to mention "zero-degree space", only the national team's heavy rocket, Long March 5, has this capability in China.

Moreover, how much does it cost to launch such a heavy launch vehicle!

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Damin continued:

"Boss, besides the launch vehicle, there is another issue that needs to be considered."

"The giant phased array antenna satellite you mentioned is not only huge in size, but its power is too high!"

"If used in 500 kilometers of low-Earth orbit, it will definitely be a big mistake, and it will even cause strong interference to electronic equipment on the ground."

"My idea, if we apply it in low-Earth orbit, the power can be reduced appropriately, so that the satellite size will be reduced and the launch difficulty will be reduced."

Hu Lai fell into deep thought.

From his heart, he must be very eager to launch such a phased array satellite with super high power.

But in reality, professional personnel like Zhou Damin think more comprehensively.

Moreover, at this time, he also remembered the technical explanation of the "ultra-high-power giant phased array satellite" in the series.

The technical description says that it can be used for planetary communication between 500,000 kilometers. If it is only 500 kilometers of near-Earth transmission, it is indeed not necessary.

After thinking for a while, Hu Lai nodded and said:

"It can reduce power, but it is necessary to directly connect mobile phones and satellites, as well as broadband Internet access services!"

Zhou Damin nodded and then expressed all his concerns.

"Mr. Hu, other than that."

"Phase array antenna satellite technology is now a top technology in the world. The production cost of its satellite is extremely high. Even if the power is reduced, the cost of a satellite will not be less than one billion."

"And, our satellite team currently does not have much research on phased array antenna satellites, and there is very little domestic and international data. It may be difficult to achieve technological breakthroughs in one or two years."

Hu Lai's expression was quiet, and he was not worried about technical problems.

However, he did not expect that a phased array satellite would be so expensive.

As a near-Earth communication satellite, if you want to achieve global coverage, it is naturally impossible to be a satellite. It is easy to easily require dozens or hundreds of satellites to form a network to achieve regional coverage!

Hundreds of them are nearly 100 billion yuan!

However, at this time, Hu Lai was no longer as concerned about commercialization as before. He was determined to achieve global leadership in the mobile phone field and achieve a dimensional reduction attack.

He simply waved his hand and said:

"I have decided not to say much."

"In terms of technology, the Institute has recently developed some research and development results for high-power phased array satellites, so you can refer to it."

"There is no need to worry about the cost. The group will fully support the research and development of satellite projects!"

"No matter what, I will definitely see a cell phone on the 'Super 2' series next year that can enable direct satellite communication!"

"Uh...good...good!"

Hu Lai strongly arranged Zhou Damin's work, ignored everyone present's surprised eyes, and then looked at Pang Dalong.

Zhou Damin's words just now reminded him of the short version of Phoenix Group's current rocket launch.

To be honest, why is SpaeaX's "Starlink Plan" strong?

The fundamental reason is not how strong their "Starlink Satellite" performs, but the Falcon Rocket's recycling technology is too strong, which greatly reduces the cost of satellite launch!

What makes Hu Lai most afraid of is that not only is the Falcon Rockets low cost, but SpaecX's launch capability is also the world's number one!

You read that right, SpaecX, a privately owned rocket company, has the largest carrying capacity in the world!

The Falcon 9 Heavy Rocket is currently the world's strongest rocket with low-Earth orbit capability of 63.8 tons, far exceeding the 25-ton delivery capacity of the Yan Kingdom's Long March 5!

What about the "zero-degree space" under Phoenix Group?

With a load of less than 1.5 tons, it can only be used to transport satellites such as the "Viewing Series" with only 500KG at one time!

Save costs?

over thinking!

"Dalong, the research institute's rocket engine technology has also made some breakthroughs, and I will share some results with you later."

"You will start to expand the scale of the Rockets department and recruit professional rocket industry talents around the world. I am going to increase the investment in the Rockets department!"

After arranging all this, Hu Lai finally felt more relieved.

Under his personal promotion, a project team led by the Phoenix Satellite Department was officially established, with the chip department, mobile phone department and software department all selected backbone members to join.

Phoenix Group’s “High-Power Phased Array Satellite” project has been officially launched!

However, due to the influence of Li Meng's spy, this time he acted more cautiously.

The entire project was subcontracted into sub-projects. Except for the top-level core technical supervisors, even middle-level cadres did not even know what the name of the project was!

After Hu Lai straightened out the satellite project, the focus was on "rocket technology".

However, because the points in the satellite technology system that I purchased before were only 10 million yuan, Hu Lai had to choose a relatively conservative rocket engine technology.

“SV-small liquid oxygen kerosene engine.”

The engine's thrust reaches 120 tons and its low-Earth orbit carries 7 tons, which is a huge improvement in zero-degree space!

...

Just as Hu Lai was seriously working on promoting satellite and rocket projects, the news of Hongguo and SpaecX's joint cooperation was still fermenting.

However, the first good news came was Huawei Mata 50!

Due to the stimulation of the "Beidou Short Message" function, Huawei Mata 50 has been out of stock online for a week. According to relevant reports, Huawei has urgently begun to increase orders to OEM factories.

You know, this situation is very rare in the mobile phone market today!

Unexpected sales shocked all mobile phone manufacturers, and they never expected that mobile phone satellite technology would have such a strong market.

and!

Now the "short message function" is so popular, and the launch of short messages is just Huawei, which is so popular!

If Hongguo can really realize voice communication between mobile phones and satellites next year, wouldn’t it be another massacre of the domestic Android camp by Hongguo?

Who will survive?

Thinking of this, all mobile phone manufacturers can’t sit still. They can’t wait any longer for this matter. They need to start research and development immediately!

We must find a way to keep up with the progress of Hongguo!

But when domestic mobile phone manufacturers gathered technicians to carefully study the "direct connection between mobile phones and satellites" technology, they found that it was too difficult!

Not to mention "satellite voice communication", even the "Beidou Short Message" function cannot be realized in one or two months, and at least it will take several months to debug!

Moreover, with the understanding of the satellite industry, all mobile phone manufacturers are becoming more and more desperate.

The "short message" function can be solved by Beidou satellite, but what should I do if the "satellite voice function" revealed by Hongguo next?

Is it obviously impossible to ask a mobile phone company to send satellites and communicate by itself?

Hongguo is so awesome that he has to cooperate with the professional SpaecX satellite business, so all mobile phone manufacturers immediately began to contact domestic commercial satellite communication companies, but after contacting them, they all became desperate.

Sorry, there is, but the scale is not large, and the application scenarios are not connected to mobile phones and satellites.

There is no way, and a number of mobile phone manufacturers can only turn their attention to foreign communication operators.

At this moment, all mobile phone manufacturers finally felt great pressure.

No, not pressure.

It should be said that the entire Yan Country mobile phone industry has felt a major crisis!

Once the Hongguo 15 mobile phone is really equipped with "satellite voice communication" next year, it is no exaggeration to say that it will definitely have a huge impact on all high-end mobile phones in Yanguo brands!

Others have it, you don’t have it!

Just seize this point and attack hard!

At this time, all manufacturers also understood that this time their opponent is not only Hongguo Mobile, but also SpaecX Company behind it!

With the strong joining forces, the two happened to attack the weakest commercial satellite communication field in Yan Country!
