"For communication problems, I will ask the superiors to coordinate with the Fenghuo Communications Research Institute to help you solve it!"
Chen Zhongyan also played his role as the chief engineer of the entire project at this time. He would try to help solve any difficulties encountered by the Satellite Research Institute.
Lack of people or money? We can find them all for you!
"In terms of high-performance satellite processing chips, I will ask the Computer Institute to help you with special development!"
"If you have any problems or anything missing, tell me!"
Chen Zhongyan was very domineering when he said this.
The 101 Satellite Research Institute has never been so arrogant in the past few years. Zhong Zixin has not yet reacted.
The whole person was stunned.
"Mr. Chen, in terms of scientific research funding?"
Chen Zhongyan has agreed to coordinate and help the 101 Satellite Research Institute to solve all technical requirements.
But since Chen Laorang Que said everything, Zhong Zixin was not polite.
"If you need anything, write a project application and submit it. As long as there are no problems, we can solve it for you!"
"But I want to remind you, since you have received so much funding from the country, if something goes wrong, you must weigh the consequences yourself!"
Although Chen Zhongyan agreed to Zhong Zixin's request with almost no obstruction, the responsibility of the Satellite Research Institute was much greater than when Zhang Xingyang was fully promoting the recyclable rocket project.
After all, no matter what, Zhang Xingyang used the money he earned from the Rocket Research Institute to develop.
Regardless of the profit or loss, the Rocket Research Institute itself will be responsible for the bottom line.
After talking about satellite research, Mr. Chen changed his harsh tone and asked Zhang Xingyang gently:
"Are there any difficulties here at the Rocket Academy?"
"If you have any difficulties, just raise them. As long as we can solve them, we will find a way to solve them for you!"
The Rocket Research Institute, which is independent and has developed high-thrust recyclable rockets without relying on state funding, naturally favors Chen Zhongyan more than the 101 Satellite Research Institute, which requires state support to carry out development work.
But Zhang Xingyang really didn't feel that there was anything more difficult about him on the Rockets.
Whether it is a financial or technical problem, the current Rocket Research Institute can solve it alone.
But in such a scene, it seems that if he really said this, it would probably hurt Zhong Zixin's little heart.
So Zhang Xingyang thought about it and finally expressed his thoughts:
"Mr. Chen, this problem of mine may be difficult to solve."
Before speaking out, Zhang Xingyang first gave Chen Zhongyan a vaccination.
Explain your difficulties in advance.
At this time, Chen Zhongyan also became a little interested. He was curious about what kind of difficulties Zhang Xingyang encountered and that he needed to be mentally prepared in advance.
So he said with a little smile: "Tell me what kind of difficulties can stump our Dean Zhang!"
At this time, Zhong Zixin was also a little curious. After all, the director of the institute who could develop such a powerful rocket could have any difficulties.
"Mr. Chen, you also know that our current project is different from previous satellite launch missions. It is not just about launching one or two satellites."
"The number of satellites that need to be launched in the first phase alone has reached forty, which is almost the number we have launched in the past few years."
"Not to mention, if we follow our vision for the low-orbit satellite communication network, after it is finally completed, the number of satellites that need to be replaced every year will reach thousands!"
"Our current domestic launch sites generally have high latitudes. Each time they are launched, they cannot make good use of the geostrophic deflection force and need to consume more fuel."
"And these launch sites are located in inland areas. Whether it is transportation of rockets or satellites, they can only be transported by road or rail."
"Not only does the shipping cost greatly increase, but it is also easy for various problems to occur on the road!"
At this time, Chen Zhongyan also somewhat understood what difficulties Zhang Xingyang wanted to mention. He frowned and looked at Zhang Xingyang:
"Are you sure you want to bring this up?"
Although Chen Zhongyan did not clearly say what Zhang Xingyang wanted to mention, he had obviously guessed it.
Only Zhong Zixin, who looked confused, still didn't understand, waiting for Zhang Xingyang to continue.
"Mr. Chen, I'm serious."
“Whether it’s from the perspective of saving money for the project, or from the perspective of making it more convenient to promote the construction of satellite communication networks.”
“We all have to build our own low-latitude coastal launch sites!”
Zhang Xingyang said very firmly, with a feeling that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
At this time, several major space powers in the world all have their own launch sites in low latitudes.
The launch site built by Gallic Chicken in Guyana can almost be regarded as the launch site closest to the equator in the world.
The lowest dimension is even only two degrees!
Rockets taking off from here require much less fuel than launch sites at high latitudes, which virtually reduces the cost of their rockets.
What's more important is that the three-stage rocket engine can send the payload to the orbit entry point without secondary ignition, and because the relative inclination of the launch orbit is smaller, the energy required for the load to change orbit is smaller, and the payload can be made more powerful. big.
Of course, the current domestic Xichang launch base dimension is not very high, only about 28°.
Compared with NASA's Kajiao launch site, it is even lower.
However, when the Xichang launch site was under construction, the current need for large-scale satellite launch missions was not considered.
Built deep in the mountains, the transportation of rockets and satellites is a troublesome matter.
"This matter may not be that easy. After all, you know that if a new launch site is to be built, it will require tens of billions of investments at least."
After Chen Zhongyan thought for a while, he still did not give a positive reply on the spot. After all, this matter involved many things.
However, Chen Zhongyan continued to ask if Zhang Xingyang had any other problems that needed to be solved.
Zhang Xingyang smiled and said: "The progress of our institute's development of recyclable rockets is currently good, and there is nothing that requires special care from above."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xingyang turned to Zhong Zixin, who was a little confused at this time:
"Director Zhong, when you are developing satellites, you don't have to worry too much about the overweight issue."
"Even if your satellite weighs dozens of tons, our rocket has enough thrust to push it into the sky!"
Even Chen Zhongyan felt a little emotional at this time. When making satellites, he always thought that the thrust was not strong enough and was afraid of being overweight.
I didn’t expect that there would be a day where I wouldn’t have to think about being overweight.
"To push hard is to be willful!"
There is one more chapter that will come later.
