Chapter 905

Altrian's voice was not deliberately hidden, so not only Elena and Quinn, but also other media reporters around heard it clearly, so they gathered around one after another, and even more impatient directly asked: "Hey, altrian, can you tell me the specific situation, you can rest assured, if the news is strong, I'm willing to pay you $50."

"You'd better keep one more whisky in the bar." O'trayne replied with a smile, and then, without delay, told him what he had learned from an anonymous person inside Motorola.

Elena and Quinn's eyes became bright. They didn't expect that it was the weather. However, some cautious people expressed doubt and hesitated to say, "I think the details should be subject to the official statement of Xichang launch center. After all, China has been operating here for many years, and the climate must be better understood than others."

"I don't think so." As soon as the doubter's voice was heard, Elena did not hesitate to object: "as we all know, the United States is the country with the highest level of technology in the world. Apart from other countries, there are as many as 12 meteorological satellites in orbit in the United States, of which six are geostationary satellites, which can provide weather forecasts for any region and any time in the world, with an accuracy rate close to 100%. Does China have any?"

A question makes the doubter speechless. As a media reporter in the aerospace field, most of them are not Xiaobai, although they do not have the level of experts. Some senior journalists even have advanced degrees in the aerospace field, and they are very clear about the role of meteorological satellites in weather forecasting.

The United States, as a well deserved overlord in the aerospace field, naturally leads the world in this respect. Because of this, the United States has become the only country in the world that can accurately forecast the accurate weather conditions in any part of the world.

This is quite significant for the United States to dominate the world.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the Gulf War a few years ago and the Desert Saber ground operation following Operation Desert Storm. At that time, a huge sandstorm was blowing along the border between Saudi Arabia and Iraq that had not been seen for many years.

Based on years of experience, the Iraqi garrison believes that under such weather conditions, it is impossible for the US military to launch an attack, because the wind direction of this sandstorm is changeable and it is easy for the attackers to suffer losses.

As a result, the U.S. military not only carried out the attack, but also took advantage of the wind and fire, which directly blinded the Iraqis.

The reason why the U.S. military is so bold is that it benefited from the accurate forecast of the sandstorm by its on orbit meteorological satellite, and finally determined the direction of the wind. The U.S. military did not hesitate to take action, and finally established the hegemony of the United States in the post Cold War era in the first World War.

In contrast, there are no meteorological satellites in China, but there is a fault stage. In 1988 and 1990, two meteorological satellites, Fengyun 1a and Fengyun 1b, were launched.

Unfortunately, the service life of the two satellites is only one year. According to the plan of the Aerospace Department, a FY-2 Satellite will be launched in the middle of next year, but before that, only foreign commercial satellites can be rented for weather prediction. No matter how good other people's things are, they can't be used at will.

Therefore, foreign satellites can only provide a general outline of the weather trend, and specific needs ground monitoring stations, sounding balloons and other auxiliary means to make accurate prediction.

However, many years of human practice shows that the ground detection means can not see the rhythm of nature changing rapidly, otherwise, why would human launch meteorological satellite?

Therefore, the error rate of this kind of weather prediction is very high, especially in the field of space launch, which requires high weather. If it is a little bit worse, the window period may be missed, resulting in serious losses.

That's why aerospace is a large toy that can only be played by a powerful country. It's not only the high-end manufacturing, but also the perfect peripheral supporting facilities.

It's like an expensive Barbie doll. What can a doll with light wave run away do? At least you need clothes and shoes to be a whole. If you want to be brilliant, you have to match more sets. Then there are scenes, furniture, nursing

It's totally bottomless.

Obviously, China surpasses most other countries in this respect, but compared with the United States, it is not qualified to call dad. The reporters present are not smart people. After a little consideration, they know that Tengfei group is launching pills this time.

So the quick action immediately took out the satellite phone, a little slow is also quickly consider the wording.

All in all, one is the other. They are ready to send the news back. Even if they don't fight for the first place, they should be brilliant.

Among them, the news reported by Elena of sky satellite TV is the most alarmist. She frankly said that this failure will bankrupt the Tengfei group and hit China Aerospace hard. This shows how ridiculous it is for a developing country with immature technology to undertake such high-tech commercial business, and then commented in a bossy tone:

"I want to take this opportunity of the Tengfei group here The arrogant manufacturer puts forward a sincere suggestion, that is, do your own thing well first. Although swan meat is good, it's not something you can eat if you want to eat it. "

Unlike in the 1980s, communication equipment was not developed, and reporters could only forward urgent manuscripts by telegraph. Now it is the mid-1990s, and satellite telephone has become popular. In addition, during the Shanghai Bay war, CNN and other live news of the United States have sprung up. As a result, today's news dissemination speed is extremely fast.Less than half an hour after the papers of these foreign media reporters in China's Xichang were sent out, the TV media in Europe and the United States had already inserted the text news of the failure of Tengfei group's launch in the program.

An hour later, in-depth comments began to dominate the screen.

An hour and a half later, special reports began to appear.

Two hours later, a strong wave of public opinion began to spread all over the country.

What Tengfei group is at a dead end.

What? China's space technology is backward.

What kind of aviation enterprise is doomed to fail in cross domain Aerospace.

……

In a word, China's space technology is unreliable and immature, and it can't afford to undertake commercial space launch missions for other countries.

"It seems that we have moved other people's cake!"

Zhuang Jianye learned about the overseas media reports at the first time. After a cursory look, he threw aside the media report material in his hand and immediately rose from the sofa and walked out of the smoky meeting room.

As soon as he went out, a flash of light almost blinded Zhuang Jianye's titanium alloy dog eyes. Fortunately, he brought sunglasses in advance, otherwise four or five bottles of eye drops might not be enough.

Then, before Zhuang Jianye could adapt to such a big media battle, Elena of Sky TV began to make a difficult decision: "Mr. Zhuang, what's your comment on the launch failure of Tengfei group?"

"Comment?" With a smile, Zhuang Jianye's face turned cold. He reached out to Elena and said, "fakenews!"

As soon as he waved his hand, the two staff members of Tengfei group behind him immediately lifted out a large-scale display screen. After the power was turned on, the cloud dynamic display over Xichang was immediately displayed. Zhuang Jianye did not stop talking. He took off his glasses and pointed to the image on the screen and said, "according to the real-time meteorological data provided by our Tengfei group's lightning-120 long endurance UAV, After one hour and 15 minutes, there will be 50 minutes of ordinary clouds over Xichang, so our chang-4 rocket will launch normally in one and a half hours. "

After hearing this, everyone was shocked. However, otlain grasped another key point and asked, "Mr. Zhuang, you said thunder-120 is a long endurance UAV. How long is the long endurance?"

Zhuang Jianye smiles and gives a surprising answer: "since 120 is behind the lightning, it naturally means that the endurance time is 120 hours."
