The Light of Domestic Products: The whole world begs me to sell

"what?!"

"Suspend the update of our electronic map, and put all three 'viewing satellites' into wildfire warning?"

"Boss Hu, this...?"

In Phoenix Group headquarters, in the conference room of the satellite department, a group of senior executives looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Everyone has already got off work today, and after receiving a phone call saying that Mr. Hu has something urgent to call everyone for a meeting, he did not expect that Mr. Hu threw a huge bomb right after the meeting started!

Stop the planned shooting of the "viewing series" satellites, and turn around to continue shooting early warnings of the mountainous areas around the mountain city?
Is this crazy...? !

Hu Lai looked at the surprised executives below the stage, and he didn't come up with this idea on a whim, but he personally inspected the situation of the wildfire today, and after communicating with Zhishu He in detail, he deeply realized a problem.

That is the current hot weather, the forest fires around the mountain city are extremely easy to repeat, and a little carelessness will cause a new round of forest fires again.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the only solution that can be taken is to increase personnel patrols.

This method might still work in previous years, but this year's weather is a once-in-a-decade high temperature, and the dead branches and leaves in the mountain forest are scattered all over the place. It is simply impossible for the patrol personnel to cover such a large area of ​​the mountain forest to give a quick warning. It is a drop in the bucket.

In addition, the government at all levels of the fire actually had early warnings, but the fire burned too fast in the hot and dry weather, which is why several mountain fires broke out at the same time.

and so.

On the way back, Hu Lai was thinking about whether he could use his own "viewing satellite" to take continuous pictures and scans of key mountainous areas to achieve early warning.

After a while, the executives calmed down after being surprised. After understanding Hu Lai's original intention of monitoring the forest, many executives frowned.

"Mr. Hu, suddenly disrupting the shooting plan of the 'Viewing Series' means that our electronic map update plan will be suspended for a while, which may affect our overseas mobile phone sales!"

"I think it's not worth the loss to use the 'viewing series' to monitor the mountains and forests. It is not obligatory or necessary for us. Mr. Hu, do you want to think about it again?"

The speaker was a marketing manager who had just joined the satellite department.

Hu Lai was already quite irritable in his heart, and after hearing this, his extremely unhappy eyes fell on this person in an instant.

Zhou Damin, the person in charge of the satellite department at the side, saw that Hu Lai's eyes were wrong, and said quickly:

"Mr. Hu, this is the marketing manager we just recruited..."

Hu Lai stared at the marketing manager with cold eyes, and said in a bad tone:
"I have to correct you. Monitoring the forest may not be worth the loss for you, but it is very important for me, and."

"Our Phoenix Group, as a national enterprise in Yanguo and a local enterprise in Shancheng City, has the necessity and the obligation to share our strength for our city."

After saying this heavily, Hu Lai waved his right hand, looked directly at the person in charge, Zhou Damin, and said coldly:

"You don't need to teach me to discuss whether it's worth it or not. I don't want to hear such nonsense now."

"You just need to tell me whether the satellite early warning function I want can be realized!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present trembled in their hearts, and everyone could feel the extreme displeasure on Mr. Hu.

As the person in charge of the satellite department, Zhou Damin was even more surprised. He was different from the executives present. Most of the executives present had only joined the Phoenix Group in the last three or two months, so they didn't know Hu Lai's character and temper.

He joined the Phoenix Research Institute a long time ago, and has met Mr. Hu several times during his work in the past two years. Every time Mr. Hu's image is gentle and elegant, and he is good at accepting opinions.

He never thought that such an angry look would appear on Mr. Hu!
Seeing Hu Lai getting angry, Zhou Damin hurriedly said:
"Boss, there are precedents for the satellites you mentioned to detect and warn of fires, but the results are very mediocre."

"Existing satellite technology is mainly for image collection for forest fire detection and early warning, just like the map data collected in various places in our "viewing series", we first collect pictures and then perform "picture recognition"."

"The reason why the effect of existing satellite technology is very mediocre is mainly due to the problems of 'picture clarity' and 'picture quick recognition', our..."

Picture clarity?
Quick recognition of pictures?
Before Zhou Damin could continue, Hu Lai interrupted and asked:
"Our 'viewing series' satellites can achieve a resolution of 0.5 meters. Does this resolution meet the requirements?"

"It can meet the requirements."

"Then our 'viewing series' satellites can carry out AI automatic identification, can't this function be used to identify wildfires?"

"Yes, but..."

Having said that, Zhou Damin paused and explained:
"Boss, what I wanted to say just now is that our 'viewing satellite' can indeed realize AI automatic identification, but."

"However, it will take time for AI to intelligently distinguish those places in the picture that have the characteristics of fire, and it needs to give AI a lot of learning to watch pictures of fire in the mountains."

"Only after observing and learning a large number of pictures, AI intelligence can distinguish the various fire points in the pictures. This is also the most troublesome technical difficulty in satellite fire warning at present."

After an explanation, Hu Lai immediately understood.

Ordinary people may be unfamiliar with AI artificial intelligence and AI robots. They think that AI robots are bionic robots that can learn autonomously like humans.

But in fact.

AI artificial intelligence is actually not complicated, its core is the algorithm model.

After the algorithm must be determined, if AI artificial intelligence wants to become powerful, it needs a large number of pictures or other regular information to provide AI with a large amount of learning (finding the law). Finally, AI intelligence will become very strong after finding the law.

So far, what is the most successful and well-known direction of AI intelligence?
It is a chess game with fixed rules such as go and chess.

Similarly, if AI intelligence wants to distinguish whether there is fire in a picture, it first needs to establish an algorithm model, and then conduct a large number of pictures to learn and find patterns.

The success rate of recognition can be greatly improved only after the main features are found, and this work is by no means easy to complete in a short time.

Thinking of this, Hu Lai frowned slightly, but after a while, he already had a solution in his mind.

"The AI ​​model algorithm is not a problem. At present, our computing power network is already very powerful. It is not difficult to use the powerful computing power of the computing power network to perfect an AI fire detection algorithm in a short time."

After saying this, Hu Lai waved his hand:
"It's not a problem, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Damin touched the sweat on his forehead, and used the group's computing power network to quickly create an "AI algorithm model"...

This battle is too big...

but.

After a moment of speechless, Zhou Damin returned to the topic.

"Boss, although the problem of 'AI intelligent recognition' can be solved, the most important thing is that it is really impossible to take 'long-term high-density' continuous shooting of a single location with only our 3 satellites of the 'viewing series' !"

"Our three 'viewing series' satellites belong to low-earth orbit satellites. To put it simply, they will also revolve around the earth while the earth is constantly rotating."

"According to our original performance design, the 'viewing satellite' wants to repeatedly take images of the same area on the earth. A single satellite needs to fly for about 70 hours to reach the sky above the same area. This is called heavy duty in the satellite field. visit cycle."

Hu Lai was expressionless, of course he knew the concept of satellite revisit cycle.

In fact, after the launch of "Guanjing-[-]", he had an in-depth understanding of this issue when considering how many "Guanjing series" satellites to be launched later.

At the beginning, only three "observation satellites" were planned to be launched, one is the reason of economic effect.

The second is because the revisit period of a "viewing satellite" is about 70 hours. After the three satellites are connected to the Internet, the revisiting period of the "viewing series" satellites will be shortened to 23 hours.

A 23-hour revisit period is sufficient for commercial use.

of course.

If 10 "viewing series" satellites are launched, the revisit period is only 7 hours.

This means that the "viewing series" satellites can take repeated shots of any place on the earth every 7 hours.

"So, in terms of practicality, it doesn't make much sense for us to scan and shoot a designated area in about 3 hours with three 'viewing series' satellites."

Everyone present is an expert in the satellite industry. After Zhou Damin finished speaking, everyone nodded.

In fact, when Hu Lai raised this issue just now, they had already thought of this issue.

Yes.

The real problem is that there are only three satellites. No matter how powerful a single satellite is, the coverage interval is still useless.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai thought of this problem a long time ago. In his eyes, this problem is even easier to solve than the problem of "AI intelligent recognition algorithm model" just now.

"It's very simple."

"The number of satellites is not enough, then continue to launch satellites immediately!"

"Three is not enough, ten, twenty enough?"

What the hell!

Everyone was stunned and numb.

Good guy, launching a satellite is like chopping melons and vegetables.

ten?

How much will it cost to send ten more?
Is it really necessary to spend huge sums of money for a fire in a mountain?
To be honest, no one understands the cost and cost of "viewing satellites" better than them, and no one understands the normal operation of commercial satellite companies better than them.

Let's not talk about how many satellites need to be launched and how much money will be spent to realize the function of "satellite early warning of fire".

The most troublesome thing is that when the next few days pass and the fire in the mountains is gone, what will happen to these satellites?
To know.

The satellite is not just sent up and left alone. The follow-up maintenance of the normal operation of the satellite requires the guarantee of the ground team, and the local service station needs to monitor it at any time. This is a huge expense!
It is not an exaggeration to say that as far as the current satellite department and even the entire Phoenix Group are concerned, these three "observation satellites" are enough to cover a large number of businesses, and the satellites to be launched in the future will be a waste of money!

And just when everyone was shocked by Hu Lai's big hand, they didn't expect that Mr. Hu's plan was not over yet.

"Damin, you have been in the institute for a while, and you also know that our institute has accepted a [-]-year-old fixed-wing aircraft expert, and has specially set up a fixed-wing aircraft laboratory."

"As far as I know, these years, the laboratory has received more than 1000 million experimental funds every year, and has produced many fixed-wing drones."

"In addition to using satellites for observation, I also plan to involve the lab's 'fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles' in this work. Specifically, whether to use unmanned aerial vehicles for high-altitude reconnaissance or use unmanned aerial vehicles for initial fire extinguishing, you will follow Come down and communicate with the laboratory."

Good guy!
Fixed-wing drones?

Hearing this, Zhou Damin lost the last thought of persuading Hu Lai.

Another AI algorithm, another satellite, and now even the fixed-wing drones in the laboratory of the research institute have been taken out.

Mr. Hu has made up his mind to really do this.

Zhou Damin stared blankly at Mr. Hu's calm face, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

I have to say, how many people can do the unreserved dedication of Mr. Hu?

No more persuasion, Zhou Damin gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, boss, don't worry, I'll start organizing people for research and development immediately."

Finally, Hu Lai didn't have a straight face on his face, and stretched out three fingers:

"In three days, I need to see the satellite ready for launch..."

Three days!

……

In the end, Zhou Damin agreed with tears in his eyes.

but.

Although the time is tight and the task is heavy, at least the experience of the "viewing series" satellites is used as a reference.

At the same time, the satellite department also considered that the satellite launched this time is not a "viewing series" remote sensing satellite in a complete sense, and its role is only to take pictures.

and so.

Under heavy pressure, Zhou Damin led the technical team overnight to delete a large number of equipment on the "viewing satellite", and finally deleted several sets of redundant CRD cameras, and finally kept only one camera that can achieve a resolution of 0.7 meters and A latest Nantianmen series chip.

In this way, although the performance indicators of the original 520KG "viewing satellite" have shrunk significantly, the good thing is that the cost and weight have plummeted.

The payload has been lightened to only 140KG!

And when the satellite department was developing the shrunken version of the "Viewing Satellite", the "Happy Planet" satellite production company and the "Zero Space" rocket company were also notified to enter a state of emergency, and the commercial aerospace company of the Phoenix system instantly entered high-speed operation. state.

Two days later, led by the artificial intelligence department of the Phoenix Group, the "Fire AI Intelligent Recognition" algorithm that has been perfected by using a large amount of computing power of the entire group has also been successfully learned and can be put into use.

With the "fire AI intelligent recognition" algorithm being remotely written into three "viewing satellites", the three "viewing satellites" first put into fire early warning work, and then contacted the fire department of Shancheng City to provide forest observation data.

Of course, these tasks are all behind the scenes work, and even except for the personnel of the satellite department, other departments of the Phoenix Group have no idea that the Phoenix satellite department is doing such things!
At this moment, as more and more news about the wildfire in the mountain city was exposed, the wildfire on the Internet also attracted more intense attention.

On the second day when the Jiyun Mountain fire broke through the isolation zone, the forest fire brigade from the Yunnan District urgently joined the rescue team for the mountain fire.

Professional fire brigades from Dian District, Gansu and other places came to support from all directions. For a time, the popularity of mountain fires on the Internet rose sharply, and the deeds of countless heroes were publicized through the Internet...

of course.

At this time, the Phoenix satellite department has no time to care about the news on the Internet. Apart from the news that the Phoenix Group has donated [-] "Dilitric Tricycles", there is nothing else on the Internet...
