Chapter 804 Questions
In fact, what many people don’t know is that historically, Fei Xiong started working on navigation satellites in the 60s, officially started it in 76, and launched experimental satellites between 82 and 85.

However, due to the limitations of Fat Bear's electronic technology, the average lifespan of a satellite is only 16 months.

Even in the 90s, when Fei Xiong completed the launch of 30 satellites for the entire navigation system, problems arose one after another with these satellites. At the most serious time, only a few satellites could operate normally.

Later, Fei Xiong tried to find partners around the world to improve his level in this area, but...

This is actually something that Fei Xiong has always been worried about. To sum up, the population of Fei Xiong is too small.

Fat Bear has vast resources and countless energy, but he just can't cash them in.

By 2020, there will be only over million people in the country. What can such a small population do?
Many times there are projects but no one is willing to work on them. Even if Fei Goose wants to keep working hard to improve his electronic skills, there has been no results.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of population, and on the other hand, to be honest...

As for why Fat Bear’s navigation system has no reputation, it is because it has not developed a civilian system.

As for Europe's Galileo navigation system, historically it would not have started until 99.

But this time and space has already started for two years, and two experimental satellites were launched last year.

In fact, the Galileo navigation system has a very high accuracy. GPS can detect targets within 10 meters, and Galileo can detect targets within 1 meter. Some people joke that GPS can only find the street you are on, while Galileo can find your door.

The historical experience of the Galileo navigation system was also quite complicated, mainly due to funding issues.

Historically, the Galileo system was developed in 99, and some European countries were fawning on the bald eagle and causing trouble.

In this space-time, both the Taurus and the Gallic Rooster were relatively strong and quickly passed the Galileo navigation system plan.

Of course, Liu Hai just needs to understand these things in his heart. The navigation system developed by Fei Xiong is probably similar to the one in history.

Of course, there is an advantage for us to launch navigation satellites first, and that is that they will have an advantage in occupying the Earth's orbit.

Of course there are disadvantages as well, everything has its latecomer advantages.

Just like the navigation satellites launched now, there will be backup satellites, usually two backup satellites, which will be activated if there is a problem.

In other words, the current navigation system framework cannot reach the level of scientific, reasonable and advanced navigation systems in our history.

Under this framework, moving step by step into the future may be different from the navigation satellites we have developed in history.

Because the lifespan of the navigation satellite has reached the end, you can launch a new satellite to add functions, but it must match the previous satellites.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to completely replace satellites, because those that are replaced after reaching the end of their lifespan must be compatible with previous ones.

The reason why Galileo navigation satellite is better than GPS is because of its 99-year latecomer advantage.

The Bald Eagle's navigation system had been running for decades at that time, and each generation of new satellites had to be compatible with the previous framework. Although it could be updated gradually, it was impossible to completely replace it.

Navigation satellites are not just dozens of satellites in the sky, but more importantly, the many system facilities on the ground.

If the navigation satellite system is to be replaced, then many ground system facilities will also have to be replaced.

Ground facilities include military and civilian facilities. How many military and civilian systems in the world are using GPS?

If the Bald Eagle is completely overturned and redone, I am afraid it will lose a large part of the market.

Of course, Liu Hai wouldn't say anything about this. The advantages of development now outweigh the disadvantages.

In fact, the satellite navigation system can be operated while being launched, which means that many tests need to be carried out during this operation process.

If the network is successfully established and operated in 88, it will be of great strategic significance.

Because in this time and space, even if we want to pretend to be grandsons, I'm afraid it won't work. After all, the bald eagle's little notebook is probably full.

Just wait until the opponent is killed, and then deal with this annoying guy.

Sun Aiguo put away the information and said, "Our semiconductor technology is developing too fast. The higher authorities have no standards in this area, nor do they have relevant laws and regulations. Do you think you can make a suggestion sometime?"

"I'll find time to write a suggestion." Liu Hai was moved when he heard this.

In his previous life, just after Liu Hai’s hometown installed a telephone, his next-door neighbor received a lottery call saying that his phone number had won a prize.

Then the neighbors next door happily told everyone about it, and then the whole family went to receive the award happily.

When Liu Hai's mother called and told the story, she was so envious and jealous, and even many people in the village were envious and jealous.

As a result, the neighbor next door went there happily but came back with a sad face.

After the neighbor next door arrived, he was first arranged to stay in a hotel, which was also quite good, and the company's office was in an office building with very high-end decoration.

The scammers asked them to pay taxes first before they could get the money, and they also produced laws and regulations to explain how much personal income tax they had to pay.

They also said that if you don’t pay taxes, we will give you the money, but if you don’t pay, our company will lose money.

At that time, the neighbor next door had no idea that he would be defrauded of tens of thousands of dollars by working in such a place.

The neighbor next door came back to withdraw money secretly and took out 5 yuan to pay the so-called personal income tax.

Then the family returned to the hotel and waited for several days but saw no money being transferred to them, so they hurried to find the fraudulent company, only to find that they had changed even the signboard and the people.

When I finally came back, I found that I had not paid the hotel all the money.

Not to mention that era, even in 2020 there are still many people being deceived. Liu Hai is puzzled. All phone cards are real-name registered, so why are there still so many scammers? It's nothing more than some regulatory loopholes.

There are always people who take risks for some benefits.

"There is another matter, which is the Red Flag Canal matter. I didn't expect there to be such a big controversy."

"People in the Northwest think that the original route is not appropriate." Sun Aiguo's words surprised Liu Hai.

"In theory, the Red Flag Canal is to divert water to the northwest, but it has to cross the Yangtze River and flow into the Yellow River. If there is a shortage of water in the lower reaches of these two rivers, will the water be diverted to these two places?"

"The Northwest believes that their farming cannot compete with the industrialization in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins, so they hope to change the plan."

"But there is no better plan to change the plan."

"Even the Yangtze and Yellow River management departments think that the Red Flag Canal is a bit inappropriate."

"The Yangtze River is worried that its upstream water will also be diverted to the Yellow River or the Northwest."

"To be honest, the Yellow River is facing a huge water shortage," Sun Aiguo began to explain.

"Some people also think that instead of sending water to the northwest, it is better to send it to the Yellow River to solve the drought in the north. This may be more useful than sending it to the northwest."

"And there are many people who agree with this voice, especially in the northern provinces. Instead of reclaiming the desert in the northwest, it is better to bring water to these provinces."

"So the higher authorities are in a bit of a dilemma right now, and of course there are also reasons related to the project itself."

"The geological conditions in the area where the project was originally planned were too complicated, and it is also an earthquake zone, so the project is now facing a lot of doubts, and the water conservancy department cannot take sides on this matter."

When Liu Hai heard this, he understood why the Red Flag Canal was not planned in 2020.

First of all, it is a political reason, and then it involves the two major rivers of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and even more so the provinces along the way.

When the time comes, those engaged in industry and agriculture will compete, and agriculture will definitely not be able to compete with industry.

However, once the Northwest starts using the water from the Red Flag Canal, the reclaimed land will definitely need water for irrigation. "So the higher authorities have come up with a compromise solution for now, which is to build the dam first and then see what happens later. What do you think of this solution?" Sun Aiguo said again about the ideas of the relevant departments.

“That’s possible…” Liu Hai didn’t finish his words, because his investment would most likely go down the drain.

If we simply build a dam, there will be no subsequent benefits. However, if we want to generate electricity, we must not only build a huge power grid, but the key is that the electricity consumption on the plateau is not that high.

If the electricity is sent to the countries in the south, this is possible, but it also involves the installation of power grids, which is another big problem. Because if they want to send electricity to the south, the difficulty of building a power grid can be imagined.

"That's it. Not only will you not be able to recover your investment, you will have to pay for maintenance every year. Although the south is a large electricity consumer, they have a serious problem of stealing electricity." Sun Aiguo shook his head.

"And there's also the Longmen Fault Zone earthquake zone you mentioned. This is also a big problem."

"No one can tell for sure whether something will happen here, and no one can guarantee that this kind of water conservancy facility will not be disturbed."

Liu Hai couldn't think of any good solution, so he nodded and said, "Let's build the dam first, and we can talk about the follow-up matters later."

The reason why Liu Hai wanted to build the dam first was because of political factors.

After the fat bear splits up, the bald eagle will definitely do something around us, and maybe even try to support the third in command again.

This is for sure. As for the subsequent profit issue, although it is a big problem, it is nothing compared to one’s own income.

If it really doesn't work, we can sell electricity to the south. At worst, we can let their domestic electricity bills pay us, and we can become a wholesaler.

"Okay then." Sun Aiguo didn't expect that Liu Hai would actually invest in this. In Sun Aiguo's opinion, there were many problems with this and there was no need to do it anymore.

But if Liu Hai insists, I have no objection.

"The other two projects have already started exploration and subsequent planning in preparation for relocation."

“And building a dam on the plateau would probably be very expensive.”

"It's okay if it's high." Liu Hai nodded, thinking about how to make use of the dam, but he couldn't think of a good idea.

"If we want to open up the Northwest, we may have to wait until next year. It's already snowing in some places, but it's a good time for early exploration and planning."

"Yeah." Liu Hai nodded.

In fact, people in the water conservancy department are also having a headache.

The Red Flag Canal project seemed to be a very large project, but many difficulties were discovered when it was actually implemented.

The geology of the Hengduan Mountains is inherently unstable, and it also crosses many tributaries of the Yangtze River. If reservoirs are not built along the way, water pumps will have to be installed to raise the water level.

These are the difficulties of the project itself. The biggest ones are the two main rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. These two rivers pass through important core areas of my country's agricultural industry. By then, competition for water will probably be an unavoidable topic.

The Yangtze River is easier to deal with, after all, the water flow is abundant and the Three Gorges Dam can regulate it.

However, the Yellow River is located along the way where water is needed. If a drought really occurs, should the water be sent to the northwest or directly intercepted and sent to the Yellow River?

"Why not use a tunnel boring machine to dig the tunnel directly?" a leader from the water conservancy department said.

"More than 2000 kilometers, and the harsh climate of the plateau!"

"It is precisely because of the harsh climate on the plateau that it is definitely not possible to use open channels."

"I think this method is good. Using the electricity generated by the power station to pump water can raise the water level by several hundred meters."

"How big of a project is this?"

"There will definitely be no problem with the railway department. Look at how many tunnels they have opened in the southwest. I'm afraid the total length is about several kilometers, right?"

"How about asking someone to go to the railway department and ask?"

"Let's see what the investors think first, but who has so much money?"

"I don't know either. This company is a Hong Kong-funded company."

"Now I know that they directly transferred 3 million US dollars to us for three projects, but it was converted into RMB by the higher-ups."

"You should be happy that you have RMB. Many departments need funds now."

"Yes."

"If this project doesn't work, we'll start with the Danjiangkou Reservoir."

"Ok!"

"If we want to build the Red Flag Canal Dam, we will probably have to build the frontline headquarters in Ya'an."

"That's for sure. All materials have to be transported from here. The cost of this dam will probably increase several times."

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Soon, news came from the higher authorities that the dam construction would continue, and the issue of the water diversion canal would be discussed later.

The water conservancy department then established the Hongqi Canal Dam Front Command Center in Ya'an.

All materials need to be transported from here. Of course, this is just the preparation work now. The higher authorities have allocated a batch of helicopters to assist in the exploration work.

This will greatly improve the progress of exploration work.

At the end of November 1985, it was another Sunday. Liu Hai brought his granddaughter out to the amusement park, and then the third child. No one else came because the others had already visited the park this year and would wait until the new program came out next year.

For outsiders, this is a new and strange world, but for locals, they have gotten used to it. Who would come to see this thing every day?

In the eyes of outsiders, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a historical monument, but in the eyes of locals, it is just a piece of junk.

"Grandpa!" Liu Hai was holding his granddaughter, and Xingxing was staring at Xiao Shiliu's back.

"Pomegranate, slow down!" Liu Hai shouted.

"Dad, can you please stop calling me Pomegranate?" The third little one covered his face tightly and kept mumbling when he turned around.

"Then walk slowly."

"I don't want to come out, but you force me to come out." Little Pomegranate was speechless.

“Always playing games at home.”

"I have finished my homework."

"That's why I asked you to come out for a walk."

"You are the father."

"Dad!" granddaughter Xingxing shouted again.

"Let's go see the red pandas!" My granddaughter also likes pandas. Of course, she can't get close to giant pandas, but red pandas are no problem.

"Then let's go quickly, or we won't be able to get in later." Little Pomegranate became excited when he heard that they were going to see the red pandas.
