Chapter 66: I want to keep a satellite at home to play!
In fact, the purpose of the old Jewish man Maximos is not to emphasize the simple question about freight, but has a deep meaning.
Hughes's communication satellite manufacturing technology and scientific research level can basically be said to be at the peak of the world. For this reason, Hughes's requirements for the confidentiality of satellite technology are very high. It would be better if it was launched in the United States, but the company's technicians also need to monitor the entire process until it is sent to the launch tower.
Now that they are going to launch in mainland China, their security strategy will be even stricter.
In fact, in the eyes of many foreigners, China's technological strength is far behind the entire Western world, and it is impossible for it to independently develop its own high-tech career. Even if it achieves certain achievements, it must be based on stealing Western technological achievements.
This time, Great Wall Company wanted to launch four of the same satellites for Hughes. After losing this big order, many American media began to maliciously slander the Chinese company under the instruction of some people, and swear to judge that Chinese companies would take advantage of this great opportunity to steal the latest technological achievements of Hughes' communication satellites.
The senior executives of Hughes Company also had some doubts about this, so they photographed Maximos returning to Shanghai, using the excuse of discussing the safety of satellites during transportation with Fan Wubing, and focused on the issue of technical confidentiality.
When Fan Wubing heard Maximos say this, he immediately understood their intentions. He was a little annoyed and thought that if our country was not poor, how could he bear your anger?
Many Chinese technicians are very hardworking and have created many achievements. However, the lack of financial support will make it impossible to apply to specific projects. Although this is related to national conditions, it has never had anything to do with foreigners like this.
The long-term technological blockade and economic blockade have caused a large gap between the level of technological development in China, which was not much behind in China, and now it is indeed difficult to catch up.
"I understand what you mean. I'm just afraid of satellite technology leaking secrets. If you have something to say on the surface, why bother so hiding and wasting my brain cells?" Fan Wubing said with a sneer.
Maximos was directly pointed out by Fan Wubing, and he didn't think it was offensive. Instead, he felt that dealing with Fan Wubing was easier, so he shrugged and said, "The company's affairs and management's opinions are not consistent. I am just a soundtrack."
"Then what do you want to do? I just hope that my satellite will go to heaven smoothly. Other things have nothing to do with me!" Fan Wubing was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and asked directly.
Maximos nodded repeatedly, "That's good, let's negotiate the rest with Great Wall Company."
The matter now involves three parties, satellite supplier Hughes, Rocket Launch Great Wall, and Fan Wubing, the payer who purchases satellite and rocket launch services.
If you have the greatest right to speak, it is naturally Fan Wubing, the big financial backer. Because he paid for it, the rich are the boss, and no one has ever questioned this issue. Therefore, if Hughes wants to do anything, he must first seek Fan Wubing's opinion.
It would be impossible to say that Great Wall has not studied Hughes' latest communication satellite technology, but even if Hughes has relaxed the internal structure of the satellite, what can you see within a few days? Therefore, Great Wall has not had any insignificant thoughts about this.
But Hughes is so cautious now that he is afraid that his own thing will be stolen by others, which makes it a bit ridiculous. At least Fan Wubing is very upset about it now. This is an open underestimation of us Chinese!
After humming and dealing with Maximos for a while, the old Jewish man felt that he was not very popular, so he smoked another cigar for Fan Wubing and said goodbye awkwardly.
After Maximos left, Fan Wubing felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about it.
Why do you think of us as thieves? Isn’t this underestimating us?
"For Mao to make you happy?" Fan Wubing made a temporary decision to let the people of Hughes Company know how powerful he is, so he called Jiang Lue, the Minister of Security.
It was already late, and Jiang Lue went to bed too. When he heard the secretary calling him, he got up again, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where did the phone call come from?"
"Shanghai, it's Fan Wubing." The secretary replied.
Only a few people know about Jiang Lue’s phone number, so they don’t worry about being harassed by irrelevant people. The secretary’s instructions were that once the phone rang, no matter what Jiang Lue was doing, he had to call him as soon as possible.
Fan Wubing? Jiang thought for a moment that Fan Wubing is busy buying satellites. Maybe something important is really important. You should know that three satellites can make Great Wall Company earn 100 million US dollars, and premiums can also make insurance companies earn 100 million US dollars. This is a top-notch event in China. The Ministry of Security must also take it seriously.
"Mr. Fan? Is there anything wrong?" Thinking of the 200 million US dollars in cash, Jiang Lue felt that being disturbed by Fan Wubing was nothing, so he asked kindly.
Fan Wubing said directly, "I need to discuss some top-secret matters with you. Is it inappropriate to say on the phone?"
Top secret matter? You won’t take it seriously, right? Jiang Lue was stunned when he heard it, but Fan Wubing’s current status and status today had to be considered if he said something casually. So he said, “You wait a moment, I’ll send someone to pick you up and find a suitable place and we’ll talk to you.”
"Okay, I'll wait." Fan Wubing agreed.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Jiang Lue's security subordinates in Shanghai rushed over. Four young men invited Fan Wubing to a black car.
"No eavesdropping equipment was found." One of the young men scanned Fan Wubing from top to bottom with a special instrument and said to several others.
"Okay, now let's go to the safe zone." said a young man who looked like the leader of four.
The car drove for more than ten minutes and arrived at a villa.
Although this villa looks a bit high-end, it is surrounded by villa areas, so it won't look particularly eye-catching. No one would have thought that people from the Shanghai Branch of the Security Department would actually use this place as a stronghold.
After passing the safety test, everyone walked in, then took Fan Wubing to a communication room, and re-connected Jiang Lue's phone number to him. This time it was not just audio, but also video.
The communication technology used by the security department is still much more advanced than that of the public. When Fan Wubing saw these decorations in front of him, he knew that it must be a channel assigned through satellite communication, otherwise the video signal would not be so smooth.
"Mr. Fan, what is the important thing?" This was not the first time Jiang Lue saw Fan Wubing, but it was the first time Fan Wubing saw Jiang Lue.
"Minister Jiang, are you interested in building a Hughes communication satellite?" Fan Wubing asked straight to the point.
"Didn't you buy three satellites?" Jiang Lue did not react for a moment, but asked strangely.
"I didn't mean that." Fan Wubing pointed to the sky and said to Jiang Lue, "I bought the satellite in the sky, which is just the service provided by others. I am talking about this idea, do you have this idea to get a satellite of Hughes back and study it?"
"Studying someone's satellite?!" Jiang Lue was shocked and thought to himself that the young man was really brave enough to think and do it. He actually bought someone's satellite and didn't give up. Now he actually wanted to get one to study it himself.
However, Jiang Lue could not make the decision by himself, so he quickly said, "Are you serious about this?"
"Not serious, am I going to bother you so late?" Fan Wubing nodded, "I'm very annoyed by the people at Hughes. I want to see if their satellites cut corners."
Jiang Luxin said, you have a high-sounding reason, but since Fan Wubing is willing to cooperate, he has to do something, so he said to Fan Wubing, "Wait a moment, I'll communicate with the military."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Lue established a connection with Fan Wubing again, and then asked, "The people from Hughes company will keep watching on the spot. We may not have the chance to succeed. Although the military has had similar ideas, it always feels unstable. Let's forget it!"
"You can't just let it go!" Fan Wubing firmly opposed, "No matter whether you steal other people's technology or not, Americans will attribute any progress we have made to plagiarism! Therefore, why should we just take on the reputation of a thief for nothing but not affordable? No matter what, I also want to set up a satellite to see!"
"Then what good will you do?" Jiang Lue said, "If you have a solution, we will not object. In fact, Americans are guarding the satellites until they go to heaven. How can you steal the satellites?"
Fan Wubing sighed repeatedly, "I said why are your thinking so rigid? There was no chance before going to heaven, but after going to heaven? Do you have no chance?"
How could there be a chance after getting on the sky? Jiang Luoxin said, "Young man, have you watched too many science fiction movies? Can you steal the satellites back after getting on the sky? We don't have space shuttles! Even if there is a space shuttle, it is completely impossible to steal a communication satellite in front of everyone!"
Seeing that Jiang Lue looked confused, Fan Wubing sighed, "Or it's too old to say that your thoughts are too old! There is no chance on the ground or in the sky, so just do it in the middle of the rocket taking off!"
"Take action in the middle of the Rockets taking off?" Jiang Lue felt even more confused.
At this time, another shot appeared in the video, with a general in a military uniform on it. He interrupted, "Tell me what you think, let's see if there is a possibility of realization?"
Is there really a way to tamper with the rockets in the air? Jiang Lue was startled by the sudden insertion of the military. They were originally watching, but they did not expect that they were also attracted by Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing was also stunned when he saw the man on the screen, but then he thought that it was absolutely impossible for Great Wall Company, which is obviously a large company that is engaged in high-tech equipment, without the support of the military, and it is normal for the military to directly intervene. So he didn't care, but sorted out his ideas and said to the two, "My idea is to sacrifice a rocket, and a malfunction occurred during the launch, separate the star arrows and recover the satellites!"
Jiang Lue was stunned when he heard this. The cost of a rocket was tens of millions of dollars, plus the launch cost, more than 30 million US dollars! You said you were sacrificed if you sacrificed?! Although Hughes' satellites may have some advanced technology on it, they may not be worth so much money!
Moreover, the separation of this star arrow must be completed in the atmosphere, which is very difficult! Not to mention, during the launch of the satellite, everyone is watching the surveillance, and the intelligence systems of various countries are definitely focusing on how to successfully retrieve the satellite? These are all unavoidable problems in reality!
However, the military general was obviously proficient in business. When he heard Fan Wubing’s proposal, he started to think, "What do you mean is to do it when you pass the black barrier zone?!"
"Smart!" Fan Wubing suddenly became happy, thinking that he had finally met someone who understood!
Black barriers are a unique phenomenon that occurs in the atmosphere. When spacecraft such as satellites, spacecraft, intercontinental missiles and other spacecraft reenter the atmosphere and return to the earth at a very high speed, communication and communication with the ground at a certain altitude and within a certain period of time will be serious and effective, or even completely interrupted. This is the black barrier.
The range of the black barrier depends on the shape of the reentry body, material, reentry speed, frequency and power of the transmitted signal, etc. It causes great difficulties in real-time communication and reentry measurement when the manned spacecraft reentry return.
Generally, the black barrier area appears between the atmosphere 35 to 80 kilometers above the earth. When a spacecraft passes through the black barrier, the hull will reach a high temperature of 2,000 degrees. The high temperature causes the air around the spacecraft to ionize into plasma, shielding electromagnetic waves, and thus loses radio contact with the outside world, thus making ground personnel unable to know the real-time status of the spacecraft.
Fan Wubing’s plan is to let the rocket take off, reach a certain speed, suddenly change its course, return to the atmosphere, crash in a certain unmanned area, and when entering the black barrier area, it implements star arrow separation to escape from the shell, so as to achieve the purpose of smooth recovery of satellites.
In fact, in this process, it is mainly to deceive the experts of Hughes who are staying in the command hall. As long as they cannot see what the satellite is going on, there will be no problem.
The military general thought carefully and felt that this matter should be done, so he said to Fan Wubing, "I need to ask experts to study this matter as soon as possible to see if there is any possibility of operation. We will contact you again within a day. I hope you stay there and don't leave so that we can find you in time."
"No problem, I will stay in Shanghai." Although Fan Wubing suddenly had an idea, he was still a little excited when he heard that the military people were willing to discuss this and it was very likely that his thoughts would become reality. He felt as exciting as when he was a child, he secretly ran to other people's cornfields to break corn.
"No, I hope you can stay in the East China Military Region for two days. Our people will meet with you there and carefully study the feasibility of this matter." The military general explained.
"You won't be able to kill someone in this matter, right?" When Fan Wubing heard that he was going to go to someone else's territory, he felt a little inappropriate.
"What do you care about!" the general said with a laugh and cry, "Do you think we are a gangster?! Going to the military region is more convenient and safe! You are the target of attention that the above-mentioned person should pay attention to, and you are also a rich man. As long as you don't do anything randomly, we have no intention of being unable to get along with you? When it's okay, we have to secretly screen your safety work!"
"Oh, that's OK." Fan Wubing agreed and asked again, "Then I've gone to the military region. Can I make me enjoy the gun?"
"This matter must be done. Not to mention playing with guns, I can give you a green light even if I play with cannons!" the military general patted his chest and promised.
"I hope you keep your word, so I'll wait for you in the military region!" Fan Wubing nodded in agreement after getting the other party's promise.
Chapter completed!
