Chapter 427: Will the crazy targeted ESA mentality explode?
"Space-based power transmission is a supplement to land-based power transmission..."
Vice President Han Jun introduced the strategic layout plan of State Grid to Ye Hua in detail. The layout of unlimited power transmission technology is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and is a hidden trump card in international competition. Ye Hua and Coastline Group are indispensable.
To a certain extent, it is more important than the National Grid.
The space-based system fully demonstrates the essential difference between China and the West. In remote areas, especially sparsely populated places like the Northwest, wireless power transmission base stations are not included in the strategic layout of Life Ray.
This is not to say that Ye Hua is a black-hearted capitalist who is naturally driven by profit, but that he cannot afford to lose money.
In more than 700 cities across the country, Liferay Company's strategic plan requires the construction of about a thousand wireless power transmission base stations to meet the needs of all cities. The investment here alone will cost 6.75 trillion RMB.
This project is jointly promoted by Liferay and State Grid. Liferay will bear 35% of the investment, which means that in the 30-year plan, Coastline Group will invest 2.3625 billion yuan in this project, and State Grid will invest the rest.
To provide money, and State Grid doesn’t have that much money even if it sells itself, it still has to rely on state financial allocations, and Liferay also requires a 5% subsidy.
Even so, remote areas are still unable to be covered. If the ideal coverage is to cover the whole country, it means building 25,000 base stations. Even if a radio tower is given an average of 6 billion, it will still require 1.5 trillion.
This, this, this...
Not to mention the two super companies, even if the country's annual GDP is poured in, they cannot fill this sky-swallowing hole. Last year, China's annual GDP was only 128.8 trillion.
But the country also has a rigid target. Even wireless power transmission must meet the requirements of providing electricity to every village, just like every village has access to the Internet, every village has access to roads, and every village has access to postal services.
Like postage.
The private enterprise SF Express does not deliver in some places. The reason is very simple. If you deliver an express package, you will lose one. As a private enterprise, you must not do this, otherwise it will go bankrupt sooner or later, not to mention that SF Express is now a listed company.
But the National Post Office must go to the countryside, and there are delivery points no matter how far away it is, but it takes a long time.
The same goes for signal base stations. As long as there is a village there, regardless of whether it is good or not, infrastructure such as electricity, telecommunications, roads, and Internet must be available.
Sometimes the signal in rural areas is faster than that in cities, because the network in cities is large, and the opposite is true in rural areas, but the base station is erected there. If there are fewer people using the network, it will definitely be a loss. This kind of loss-making business can only be done by state-owned enterprises.
Do it.
Life Ray is also a private company, so it is even more impossible to build a radio tower. The price of a tower is several billion. In a remote northwest region with sparsely populated areas, it is impossible to build a power tower, even if it only requires 35% of the investment.
, including a 5% subsidy, which even ten coastline groups cannot afford to lose.
However, it is also a national requirement that every village be able to use radio. Even if a rural household still uses power lines, the electricity sent to the village must be sent through wireless transmission, through a village or a township.
The small micro substation allows electric energy to be transmitted to thousands of households through Murakami’s existing cables.
After all, wireless power transmission is the trend.
The biggest difference between China and the West is that here, many remote towns in the United States still have no signal. There are few people and they are losing money. The capitalists will definitely not do it, so there is no such thing.
But here in China, this kind of thing will not happen.
It is impossible to build land-based radio towers in remote areas and sparsely populated areas, so the only way to get rid of the influence of the earth's curvature is to build a space-based system in outer space.
Although the transmission of terahertz coupled resonance technology is similar to the quantum tunneling effect, it depends on the situation. The thickness of several kilometers or even kilometers can be ignored, but the radius of the earth alone is several thousand kilometers, and China’s territory spans east, west, north, and south.
The tunneling effect is gone, and it will be reflected in the fact that the terahertz waves received by the terminal are extremely weak, or simply not received at all.
With the space-based system in outer space, it is different. The restriction of the earth's curvature disappears.
Establish an access agreement with the satellite in space through the radio tower on the ground. The electric energy is converted into terahertz waves through the electric tower on the ground. After the satellite above receives it, another access agreement is established toward a terminal on the ground.
If you continue to call, the terminal will receive the terahertz waves and convert them into electrical energy.
The working principles of space-based satellite systems and radio towers are actually the same, or the same as communication satellites. The difference is that the power tower is on the ground and the satellite is in space. The power tower has high energy level, large volume, and large load. In space
The space-based energy transmission system has low energy level, small volume and small load.
Electricity towers are used to transmit power to megacities and industrial cluster centers with populations of several million or even tens of millions. It is natural that the demand is high.
However, satellites provide wireless power to remote and sparsely populated places, which cannot be compared with big cities.
It can be seen that with the organic combination of the two major wireless power transmission systems, space-based and land-based, it can cover the whole country, including remote mountainous areas.
Han Jun introduced the specific matters of the project to Ye Hua in detail, and more than twenty minutes had passed before he knew it.
After taking a sip of water, Han Jun continued: "For the construction of the space-based power transmission system, we invited the original Beidou engineering team to escort us. Building this power transmission system is actually the same as building a global satellite positioning system. This task
There is no one more suitable than the original team of Beidou Engineering."
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua thought for a moment and then said: "Leave the space-based project to Life Ray to operate it, I mean all of it."
Han Jun nodded slowly: "It's more appropriate for you to do this than for the country to do it. You know what I mean."
Ye Hua smiled and said: "Of course."
Obviously, people from the Beidou engineering team are invited to do it. This space-based system is to be networked on a global scale. When it comes to exploring the international market in this regard, it is relatively easier for the Coastline Group, but the national team will make the West sensitive and inquisitive.
Excuse.
Although even coastline operations will still be targeted, relatively speaking, coastlines are more suitable.
The investment in space-based systems, even if it covers the whole world, only requires an investment of 100 billion RMB. Of course, this is a sky-high investment, but for Coastline Group, it can afford the money.
Ye Hua thought for a moment and couldn't help but said: "The space-based system must be networked as quickly as possible. The sooner the better. There are not many good orbital resources now. We must get ahead of the European Galileo satellite positioning system and occupy all its orbital resources."
But can our domestic launch resources be enough to complete the global network before 2025?"
"2025? So soon?" Han Jun said blankly.
"Quickly? I still think it's too slow, but you can't expect the Europeans to stop. Especially after the announcement of this project, they are in a hurry. They must put the satellite up before them. The orbital resources are first come, first served."
Ye Hua said.
Han Jun shook his head in denial: "It is definitely impossible in 2025. Even if it is a double satellite, it will take more than ten launches. To launch 30 satellites within three years, the launch resources are simply not enough. But you are not talking to Elon Musk
Is the relationship good? Then ask his SpaceX company for help, give him an order, and join the queue. If he doesn’t give you a limited time, he won’t cooperate with his Tesla, haha.”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Nowadays, there are mainly communication satellite systems and positioning satellite systems in space. There are four major global positioning satellite systems: GPS in the United States, Beidou in China, GLONASS in Russia that cannot continue to operate and was merged into Beidou, and the European Space Agency.
The Galileo system that launched 7 satellites.
In the near future, there will be another unique satellite system, that is, the wireless power satellite transmission system. The global network also requires 30 non-geostationary orbit satellites. The same thing is the global network, but the difference is that some satellites are communication
function, positioning function, and the function of this set of space-based system satellites is the wireless power transmission function.
"Okay, if Musk doesn't help me with this, I won't play with him in the future, but he should have no reason to refuse. Bezos' Blue Origin has put increasing competitive pressure on SpaceX's launch business in recent years. He
Blue Origin is desperate not to accept this big deal with a profit of at least US$1 billion. But I wonder if the European Space Agency will get angry and curse if they get this news." Ye Hua said this unkindly, causing the whole room to burst into laughter.
"Orbital resources are first come, first served. This is a rule set by the West. No one can blame me, haha."
If the ESA knew about it, they would be more than angry and curse...
I'm sure he's going crazy.
The satellite orbit resources planned more than ten years ago are now all occupied by the Beidou system. The European debt crisis broke out. European technology is available, but there is really no money to build these super expensive "big toys".
Speaking of which, if the Europeans hadn't wanted to trick people back then, China wouldn't have been able to decide to build Beidou on its own. Times have changed, and it's simply a standard template for the plot of the protagonist in the novel slapping people in the face. First he looked down on them, then decided to do it himself, and finally succeeded in slapping them in the face.
Bang bang bang!
The helpless ESA could only accept this fact and had to settle for a new orbital resource for the Galileo system, but it was definitely not as good as the previous one.
This time, the Europeans feel that they can take their own time to develop their own positioning system. The Chinese have successfully developed their own positioning system, and they are not worried about the remaining two countries, India and Japan.
Well, a wireless power transmission space-based system came out halfway, and the Chinese are targeting it. They also need 30 satellites. The orbital resources that were just planned are going to be robbed?
Ye Hua was unkindly worried that if the ESA found out about it, it would explode and prepare to smash the pot, and simply kill this Lao Shizi's Galileo system.
To complete the Galileo system in accordance with ESA's expectations, it will cost 13.5 billion euros, which is 100 billion soft coins.
Now the Europeans want to spend an additional 100 billion within three years to develop a positioning system. Even if they sell the EU headquarters building, they will never be able to raise the money.
Europeans are still making noise about the Yellow Vests.
No money!
It’s such a realistic and heart-wrenching question.
