A big country of aerospace with black technology

Just when the domestic low-orbit satellite communication network is in full swing.

On the other side of the ocean, inside the white house.

An old man with white hair was looking at the documents on the desktop while skillfully eating the steak on the plate with a knife and fork.

"Fernando, is there any interesting international news recently?"

While looking at the documents, the old man talked with the tall man standing beside him.

The man named Fernando, after thinking for a while, said with a light smile:

"There are a few interesting things, I wonder if you are interested?"

The white-haired old man also became a little interested at this time, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and wiped his mouth:

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

"It is rumored that Dragon Kingdom plans to build a space satellite network to assist their increasing communication needs." Fernando answered the white-haired old man with a smile.

"Hahaha, Dragon Kingdom!"

"Aren't they an agricultural country, when will they be able to imitate our 'Iridium'!"

The white-haired old man laughed out loud as if he heard the funniest joke in the world.

However, Fernando just picked up some pleasant words, in fact, according to the reports of NASA and Laura.

Dragon Kingdom's rocket technology has recently made many breakthroughs one after another, and its economy and carrying capacity have increased significantly.

Especially in terms of carrying capacity, according to the people of Laura, not long ago, the Longguo people's rocket sent two satellites with a combined weight of nearly seven tons into the SSTO orbit.

"However, judging from the report given by Laura's company, it seems that their abilities have really improved a lot."

As the white-haired old man's personal staff, Fernando still did not hide the news.

"Laura's company?"

The white-haired old man was a little older, and he didn't remember which company it was for a while.

"Last week, they just invited you to a charity dinner." Fernando reminded the old man intimately.

"They!"

"They seem to be mainly in the satellite R\u0026D and manufacturing business?"

The white-haired old man was a little uncertain.

"Yes, they just developed two satellites for TV relay and transmission not long ago." Fernando replied while briefly introducing the business of Laura Company.

This is also worthy of the money that Laura's company gave him not long ago.

"The entertainment industry is developing well now, and their business is very good." The white-haired old man said a little bit indifferently.

"Where's Laura's report?"

"Where is it, show me."

Facing the request of the white-haired old man, Fernando thoughtfully pulled out a document from the many files on the desktop and placed it in front of the old man.

"Thank you, Fernando."

The white-haired old man smiled, said thank you, and then looked down at the document.

Maybe it's because too much aerospace expertise was used in the document, the white-haired old man still looks a bit struggling.

After a while, he raised his head from the document with a frown, and asked in disbelief:

"Fernando, is everything written on it true?"

Fernando is not very sure about the authenticity of this aspect, but he knows how to deal with the old man's question:

"Maybe you can make a phone call and ask the director of NASA."

The white-haired old man also nodded at this time: "You are right, you should ask him."

A phone call from the White House broke into the NASA office without warning.

After waiting for a short while, NASA Administrator Hoffman answered the phone.

"Hoffman, do you know about Laura's company?"

After the call was connected, the white-haired old man didn't talk nonsense to the other person, but asked his own question directly.

As the actual head of NASA, Hoffman certainly knew Laura's company:

"I know that they mainly develop various communication relay satellites."

"What's wrong with them?"

"I heard that not long ago, Longguo launched two communication satellites they developed?"

Speaking of this matter, Hoffman has roughly guessed what the old man wanted to ask him today.

"Yes, those are two communication satellites in geostationary orbit. Longguo actually launched two satellites up with only one rocket!"

The white-haired old man didn't have a special understanding of aerospace, so he asked with some confusion:

"Is there anything very strange about this?"

After all, they only launched two satellites at once, and their own rockets can launch more at once.

"This means that their rocket carrying capacity has at least doubled compared to before!"

"It means that they have definitely made a major breakthrough in rocket engines, otherwise their rockets would not have such a large thrust."

Hoffman sees this very clearly. Being able to more than double the thrust of a rocket is definitely not an achievement achieved in other aspects.

Must have made great progress in rocket engines!

"You know, rocket motors and missile motors are actually interlinked to some extent."

At this time, Hoffman broke even more explosive news.

The white-haired old man sat up straight, listening to Hoffman's narration with a serious expression.

"The earliest rocket engines were all modified from missile engines, so although this is rarely done now, it is still possible to transform rocket engines into missile engines!"

"In other words, you think that the technology of Dragon Kingdom has made great progress in this area, especially in missiles?"

"Of course I think so, and I can take responsibility for every word I say!" Hoffman is also a gutsy ass.

"What do you think of their plans for a satellite communications network?"

At this time, the white-haired old man continued to ask another question.

"The satellite communication network looks very beautiful, but with their technical strength, I don't think they have a chance to build it successfully."

"Our 'Iridium' satellite communication network is much more practical than their satellite communication network plan!"

"They actually plan to fill the space with thousands of satellites, while our 'Iridium' only needs a few dozen!"

Hoffman didn't completely tell the truth at this time.

Although the same is a satellite communication network, the gap between the two can be described as very different.

The reason why the "Iridium" communication network was unable to make ends meet and went bankrupt was largely due to the fact that the number of satellites was too small and the communication quality was too poor!

Why did Zhang Xingyang plan to launch such a large number of satellites in space when he proposed a low-orbit satellite communication network.

To a large extent, it is to improve the communication capabilities of satellites!

"Hahaha, thank you for clarifying my doubts, Hoffman!"

The white-haired old man laughed a few times and said:

"Based on the technology of the people of Longguo, do you still want to build a satellite communication network?!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
