Chapter 344

The next day.

At dusk, Ren Hong took off again by helicopter from the rooftop of the U-shaped office building of matrix technology headquarters. His destination was Wenchang.

Ren Hong went to Wenchang because he received the notice of the first stage satellite launch.

Each sector of the "virtual world" project is performing its own duties, and is steadily moving forward step by step. On the content side, Facebook, four top game developers and a studio are entering the production stage in full swing, while the hardware laying has not fallen behind. Everything is implemented as planned.

It has been nearly half a year since Zhang Han's visit to Canada in April. Ren Hong's trip to Seattle in May, following this year's Sino US entrepreneur Roundtable Conference, matrix technology has reached cooperation with SpaceX, Lara space system SSL and Bell Laboratories of the United States. The first stage of satellite laying is also about to be completed Completed at the end of this year.

The first stage of "virtual network" construction starts from Wenchang satellite launch center, and the first stage of launch will be officially launched around 21:00 this evening.

Ren Hong also attached great importance to the launch of the first stage. When he received the news, he put down other affairs and went to the launch site in person. The project of "virtual world" has put too much effort into it. The time, manpower, material and financial resources are unprecedented, so it is impossible to ignore it.

"Deputy director! Hello

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ren! Good to meet you

At this moment, the eastern hemisphere has entered a moonlit night, but the Wenchang launch command center is lit up. All the staff members strictly abide by their posts. In the last 30 minutes, the launch is about to start. One by one is nervous. The thing launched this time is too expensive. No one can afford it, and there is no one can afford it.

"Satellite launch is about to start. Let's go to the dome observation room." The deputy director of the opening Committee said with a smile that he was very enthusiastic in the face of Ren Hong.

Matrix technology is a hot topic in the field of National Aeronautics and Astronautics, and even in the global space commercial activities. Nine of the world's top ten aerospace companies are full of envy, jealousy and hatred that "Lara space systems company SSL" can take over the super fat list of matrix technology. The same object envied by nine aerospace companies is "space exploration technology company SpaceX". Elon Musk is also itched by their hate teeth, and has been squeezing the launch market share, such as Today, I saw SpaceX get the launch order of matrix technology. In addition to drooling at those dollars that have nothing to do with itself, I can only secretly hate that I am too bad luck and have not been looked upon by matrix technology.

Obviously, matrix technology's orders are not ordinary fertilizer. He wanted to give all the launch orders to NASA, but he could only eat half of them.

But even if it is half, for the opening deputy director, it can only be a pity that there are not enough snacks.

Ren Hong handed nearly half of the orders to the National Space Administration this time. The order worth nearly 200 billion yuan was undoubtedly a stimulant, which greatly stimulated the commercialization of the entire national space agency in the aerospace industry. One order of matrix technology almost exceeded the total cost of commercial launch services in the past. There was no reason for deputy director general to be displeased with Ren Hong Love.

In the eyes of outsiders, matrix technology can be described as throwing money wherever it goes. Any company or institution that has contacted matrix technology will be full of glory. This is a proper local tyrant, the God of wealth!

Observation room.

Ren Hong and the deputy director of development stood side by side in front of the window glass. In the distance of the launch site, a huge launch vehicle standing on the ground was very eye-catching in the dark under the light of the light. In a far away place, there were some local residents and even reporters who watched and photographed in the peripheral area.

The people living around are very familiar with this situation, which shows that there are rockets to be launched again. Every time Wenchang Launch Center Launches a rocket, the public will be surrounded by them. For the local people, when the rocket is launched, it is like an earthshaking spectacle. They can't get tired of watching any fireworks Look.

"This is China's latest generation carrier rocket, long march-9 series a" carrier rocket, with a diameter of 9.7 meters, a height of 118 meters, a take-off mass of 2890 tons, a low earth orbit carrying capacity of 170 tons, a high-altitude orbit carrying capacity of 136 tons, and can send objects up to 70 tons into geosynchronous orbit. "

Ren Hong nodded in silence, and he was very proud when he told the series of data that "the long march-9 series a" carrier rocket has reached the world-class leading level, surpassing the famous American "Saturn series" rocket which transported "Apollo spacecraft"

The "long march-9 series a" carrier rocket is also an outstanding record in the war. At present, the only super space station "Tianzhou" in orbit was launched with this series of launch vehicles. So far, there has been no accident. It is recognized as one of the safest launch vehicles in the world.The "long march-9 series a" carrier rocket, which is about to launch, will carry 68 tons of satellites into a synchronous orbit 36000 kilometers from the earth.

Strictly speaking, this giant object with an actual mass of 68 tons is not a real satellite. This frightening mass is comparable to a spaceship or a small space station.

As a matter of fact, it has its own official title - "Tianqing system".

In the next half a month, it will successively send "Tianqing 2" and "Tianqing 3" to geosynchronous orbit, so as to achieve a global virtual network framework.

Every part of "sky engine system" is the most advanced equipment in the world, which contains the scientific and technological achievements of more than 20 high-tech companies, including matrix technology, which is beyond doubt. If the world's first super quantum computer, which is located in the headquarters of matrix technology, is the parent of the "virtual world", then the three "celestial systems" that will be sent into space are the offspring.

The reason why the "sky engine system" has reached an astonishing mass of nearly 70 tons is that a quantum computer designed by d-wave company from Canada occupies nearly 40% of the mass and 55% of the main space. "Tianqing system" is the transfer station and temporary repository of temporary data center responsible for connecting users and terminals around the world. It is called "daughter". A quantum computer is one of the essential cores. In addition, there are numerous space signal remote sensing, photon signal data and quantum data conversion, anti EMP electromagnetic pulse defense system, etc. "Tian Qing system" contains more than 30 cutting-edge technology in human beings, and it can be regarded as the essence of cutting-edge technology.

The cost investment of the three "space engine systems" has reached 68 billion US dollars of the 500 billion US dollars budget of the whole "virtual world" project, which is more than twice the investment cost of other 200 satellites. In the future, matrix technology will have assets of nearly 100 billion US dollars in outer space.

For such a high cost, it is necessary to use the safest, most stable and reliable launch vehicle in the world. Otherwise, if the launch fails, even Ren Hong will be in pain.

"It's the last minute countdown to launch." Deputy director of the observation room, who accompanied Ren Hong on the tour, said that his face was very dignified. When he said this, he did not even look at Ren Hong, but kept his eyes on the huge launch vehicle on the launch site.

The launch mission was personally directed and led by the chief executive, and vice chief operating officer also led a lot of launching tasks. There was even one launch mission of the three-level expansion of the "Tianzhou" space station. Today, the deputy chief operating officer did not lead the launch mission, but he was more nervous than any previous self led launch.
