Start from 1980

Chapter 947 Visiting the Launch Site

"Welcome friends from Prosperous Times." The visitor was a middle-aged man who enthusiastically came forward to shake hands with everyone. "I am Ma Rongyuan who is in charge of receiving your Hong Kong compatriots. You can just call me Comrade Ma."

"Hello Comrade Ma, thank you for coming to receive us in your busy schedule. I don't know if the reporter from our TV station has come." Su Chen shook hands with him enthusiastically.

Although I don't know what this person's position is, I can't wait for my subordinate to introduce my identity before greeting him arrogantly.

Not that necessary.

"Come on, they have already gone to the scene to arrange the camera seats and wait for tomorrow's shooting." Ma Rongyuan looked at him with a smile on his face: "Young, no more than 30 years old, 1.8 meters tall, very handsome, this The seat must be Su Chen and Su Dong."

"Hey, I didn't expect me to be so famous." Su Chen said with a smile, "Hello."

Ma Rongyuan said: "You are too polite, I have been hearing about your name all the time, and I finally saw you today."

"Comrade Ma, let me introduce you. This is Miss Tang Wanru, the president of our company. This is Mr. Yu Xia. This is..."

Su Chen introduced all the executives around him, "I will cause you trouble in the next time."

"Where is it?" Ma Rongyuan said, "Why don't we go to pick up our luggage first, and then go to the guest house?"

"Excuse me."

I went to pick up my luggage, then boarded the car and went to the guest house arranged by the launch site.

In 84, Xichang Satellite Launch Center successfully launched my country's first geosynchronous orbit satellite, and then in 1986, successfully launched my country's first communication and broadcasting satellite Dongfanghong-[-].

Without the successful launch of Dongfanghong-[-], everyone would have to rent foreign satellites to watch TV.

The successful launch of this satellite has finally ended the history of our country renting foreign satellites to watch TV. From now on, the TV programs and weather forecasts you watch are all transmitted by our own satellites.

The Xichang Satellite City was also officially opened to the outside world in 85, undertaking satellite launch business, and has successively received technical exchange and inspection groups from more than 50 countries and regions.

With advanced and reliable facilities and conditions, it provides safe and high-quality services for satellite launches.

This is also the reason why Shengshi's satellites are launched here.

The satellite of Shengshi was made by the United States. At the beginning, Su Chen planned to hand it over to the Chinese team to make it, but the Chinese side had no experience in this field.

So the rocket was made in China and equipped with Shengshi's lithium battery.

The reason why the rocket is equipped with a lithium battery is Su Chen's request. Originally, the scientific and technical personnel did not intend to use this method. After all, if an accident occurs, it will cost a lot of money.

But Su Chen insisted. After all, this is a good time to advertise lithium batteries. He doesn't think that the rocket will explode if he is so unlucky.

Moreover, the lithium battery has been repeatedly confirmed by Tiangong Energy's scientific and technological personnel, and it is also specially customized in cooperation with aviation personnel.

Another point is that this satellite was made by the company that did it for Wal-Mart. After all, it has experience, and it has specially tailored a system suitable for Shengshi.

With the blessing of a lot of dollars, this satellite was developed in just a short period of time.

At the same time, the headquarters in New York and Hong Kong have also built data processing and communication centers respectively to ensure that the entire company can realize computer networking and 24-hour continuous communication.

There are nearly [-] servers in the two places.

As long as you look at the company's satellite communication room for a minute or two, you can understand the sales situation of the retail industry for a day, you can check the sales volume of any area or any store, and any product, and save up to 2 weeks for each product. Inventory records.

This is definitely the icing on the cake for Shengshiwanjia and the newly acquired Hengchang Retail.

In addition to these, the system can also check the total amount entered by Standard Chartered Bank on the day, and can provide instant messaging, similar to the instant messaging software such as QQ WeChat that did not appear, and other functions.

However, this software comes with the system and cannot be used on the market.

And the most amazing thing is not having the above-mentioned functions, but its exclusivity. With its powerful computing power, it can ensure that Shengshi has so many locations around the world, as long as it is online, it can be contacted in time.

It's like China Telecom's broadband, only the Shengshi family has exclusive access to it.

But having said that, apart from satellites, Wal-Mart's awesomeness also has its system.

Shengshi now has a lot of retail stores in Hong Kong, and Shengshi Wanjia also has dozens of them in the mainland. Unfortunately, it is far from what Su Chen expected, and these stores are all located in Shenzhen and Zhuhai.

When it comes to the guest house, it is naturally not as good as the big hotels in Hong Kong, but it is not bad, because this place has received many foreign guests.

After putting some unimportant things in the guest house, we ate something briefly, and the two sides had a preliminary contact.

"Su Dong, I wonder what your plans are next?" Ma Rongyuan asked.

Su Chen said: "We want to visit the launch center, can we? Because we are also here for the first time, and we are quite excited."

"Of course there is no problem, but I have to talk to the leader of the launch site first." Ma Rongyuan said, "I need to make a call, please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Ma Rongyuan used the phone in the guest house to call the launch site.

Someone answered soon, and he informed the leader of Su Chen's needs.

The leader was silent for a while, and said: "If they want to come, let them take a look. After all, this is their first rocket. You should do a good job in reception, and you must not make Hong Kong compatriots feel uncomfortable."

"Good leader, guarantee to complete the task." Ma Rongyuan said hastily.

After hanging up the phone, he went to tell Su Chen that he could take someone there.

Everyone took a car to the launch site, which was about [-] kilometers away, because the launch site was in an old forest deep in the mountains.

Although this place is open to the outside world, it is very tight. If you break into it without permission, you will probably be in big trouble.

Anyway, after going through several checkpoints, and checking various documents.

After layers of inspections, we finally arrived at the downstairs of the launch site command center.

There are already people waiting here.

Seeing Su Chen and others, he quickly greeted them: "Welcome Hong Kong compatriots. I am Director Xu of the launch center."

"Hello, Director Xu." Su Chen took the lead to greet the staff, and then said, "We just came here today to take a casual look. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay, to put it in a business world, you are our customers now." Director Xu laughed and said, "Please come inside."

While walking, I introduced the facilities here. The most striking thing is the row of color TV screens in the hall. In addition, there are also the general command platform, various consoles, recorders and monitors.

It is said that scientific and technical personnel and VIPs can clearly see the real scene of the rocket taking off from the launch pad to the first stage of the rocket falling off through the TV screen and various display instruments.

The balcony behind the control hall is a viewing hall, where visitors can sit and watch the live launch on a large color screen through the huge glass windows in front.

"Su Dong..." Director Xu came to Su Chen's side, "I have a personal question I want to ask you..."
