Chapter 943: The Stunned American Empire (First Update, Please Subscribe)
On January 116, , on the other side of the ocean, at the American Broadcasting Corporation, or ABC Radio, although it was called the "American Broadcasting Corporation," it was actually held by the North Borneo Company, which was the most important of the several American media that Li Yian bought that year. At that time, as the Blue Network of the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, it had affiliated radio stations across the United States!
In the past decade, ABC has completed the transformation from radio to television. A few years ago, it became famous as the first American radio station to broadcast the Queen's coronation ceremony. At that time, it cooperated with Canadian TV to broadcast the Canadian TV signal so that Americans and Canadians could watch the Queen's coronation ceremony at the same time. Although ABC paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the broadcasting fee, it also made it the center of attention.

In the past few years, ABC has relied on such "headline news" and live broadcasts of sports games such as the NBA to become the most popular TV station in the United States, and has become one of the three largest TV stations in the United States. Its programs are also becoming more and more influential in the United States.

Starting early this morning, technicians at ABC Radio began to get busy. They tested the equipment from time to time, and even the 13-meter-diameter satellite antenna was repeatedly tested.

Today is a big day for ABC.

"Well, gentlemen, today we will not only broadcast the signal from the other side of the ocean for the first time, but we will also broadcast our program to the whole world. From today on, the world will be completely changed!"

In the live studio, Steven said as he looked at the news anchor and other staff members.

Ten years ago, when he was hired as the manager of ABC Radio, His Majesty had said to him - we will make history!
And now, just as he promised – they have made history!

January 19, 15: p.m. Pacific Time, is a day worth remembering for the United States.

That night, TV users across the United States watched satellite broadcast TV signals for the first time!

What surprised them even more was that ABC Radio would broadcast the NBA Finals to the whole world, that is, the United States, via satellite!
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, ABC Radio will use satellite to broadcast the NBA Finals!"

Even people who don't watch much sports news will be attracted by artificial satellites. For Colonel Daniel, who is a baseball fan, he doesn't pay much attention to NBA games, but as an officer in the Ministry of Defense, he is very concerned about the communication satellite in Southeast Asia.

"There is no doubt that the emergence of the Asia-Pacific No. 1 synchronous communications satellite will fundamentally change military communications..."

In a conference room at the Pentagon, Colonel Daniel explained to the generals what a "synchronous communications satellite" and a geosynchronous orbit were.

"A synchronous orbit communication satellite is a communication satellite launched into a circular orbit that is synchronized with the Earth's rotation period. The orbital altitude of this satellite is 35786 kilometers, and the angle between the orbital plane and the Earth's equatorial plane is zero, that is, the satellite is launched over the equator and moves in the same direction as the Earth's rotation. From any observation point on the ground, the satellite is stationary."

"Such a geostationary communication satellite can provide communications for nearly one-third of the Earth. If three geostationary communication satellites are launched, 120 degrees apart from each other, most of the world can be covered, achieving global communications."

"That is to say, we only need to launch three geostationary communication satellites to maintain communications with U.S. military bases around the world and fleets on the sea without being subject to all kinds of interference as in the past."

While Colonel Daniel was explaining, the generals in the Pentagon were looking through the documents. Although they did not know much about satellites, they understood communications. After all, they were generals who had experienced war and naturally knew the importance of communications in war.

"So when can we develop a similar satellite?"

“It’s fast, but it takes time.”

Colonel Daniel explained, "From the perspective of mission analysis, we need to develop not only satellites, but also corresponding rockets. Although the development of the Atlas rocket is progressing very fast, after analysis, it will take about one to two years to send our geosynchronous satellite into space. The question is what to do before that?"

While asking the question, Daniel took out a photo and said.

"This 'Asia Pacific One' communications satellite was developed with funding from the Nanyang military and Asia Television. According to the plan, they will launch three satellites to achieve full coverage of the entire world. My suggestion is that we can cooperate with Nanyang in this regard, jointly develop the next satellite, and use Nanyang's rocket to send it into space!"

Looking at the generals who seemed to be thinking deeply, Daniel added.

"General, we should strengthen cooperation with Nanyang in space technology. There is no doubt that compared to our blind pursuit, Nanyang is more purposeful in the field of space. They have launched fewer satellites, but they are more practical. Compared with us, Nanyang scientists are obviously better at planning space missions."

The scientists in Nanyang are good at space mission planning, which is entirely due to Li Yian. Although Li Yian does not know much about space, he has a certain understanding of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Naturally, he knows what kind of satellite is more practical. The first one is naturally the communication satellite, which has the simplest technology. Then there are meteorological satellites, earth remote sensing satellites and the like, and their technical difficulty is also constantly rising.

Li Yian formulated the Nanyang space development plan based on the US-Soviet space race, and the communication satellite was just the most inconspicuous one among them!

"In the past year, we have launched more than 16 satellites, but the most practical one among them, apart from the number and weight, is the Skol satellite we launched last December. Although it is a communications satellite that can relay telegraph, radio and television signals, its working life is only 12 days and its orbit is at a low altitude."

When the "Skoll Satellite" was mentioned, the expressions of the generals in the conference room became somewhat complicated. It was the first artificial communications satellite of mankind, but what was its use?
Just yesterday, the life of the "Skoll Satellite" of the "Orbital Relay Equipment Signal Communications" has come to an end, while the "Asia-Pacific No. 1" in Nanyang can continue to work in space for several years!

"But the Asia-Pacific-1 communications satellite can work continuously in space for several years! Generals, this is exactly what we need!"

"It is indeed what we need. At least to a certain extent, we can use their communication satellites to conduct some research, study how to apply them, and then study our communication satellites, better communication satellites."

A general said.

"But we all know that if we want Nanyang to help us, we will definitely have to pay a certain price. After all, those guys are all businessmen."

"General, it is because they are a group of businessmen that this matter is very easy to handle."

Daniel's words made everyone laugh.

Yes, things will be easier to handle because Nanyang is a group of businessmen.
