Chapter 267 This is an area I have never studied before
In fact, if Xu You really had to spend the Spring Festival with a group of strangers, he would still feel a little uncomfortable.
But if his mother is around, Xu You will feel at home.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. Teacher Xu, we asked you to come here this time because we want you to help us research satellites."
"satellite?"
Xu You had previously thought that he might be asked to study rockets or something like that.
Because when he was at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center, several of Xu You’s technologies were related to rocket engines.
But Xu You has never studied satellites.
"But, Mr. Wu, I have never participated in satellite research?"
Xu You didn't quite understand why Wu Jing asked him to come here to work on a field he had never studied before.
"Have you studied quantum physics before you went to Professor Wang's lab? Have you studied condensed matter before you went to Professor Qiao? Have you studied rocket engines before you went to Suzhou Satellite Launch Center?"
Wu Jing's series of questions made Xu You react all of a sudden.
Yes, every one of my research results has gone through a process from nothing to something.
If this is the case, then what is impossible about studying satellites?
However, Wu Jing really knows every experience of Xu You in great detail.
Xu You even suspected that Wu Jing had installed a bug on him or something.
“We have confidence in you. Even if you have never studied a field before, you can become an expert in that field through a short period of study. You don’t need to have any doubts about your abilities. Just go for it.”
Wu Jing did learn about Xu You's experiences in recent years through certain channels.
Even Wu Jing couldn't believe many of Xu You's deeds.
But these are indisputable facts.
Even so many Nobel Prize judges were conquered by Xu You.
Many physicists who have been queuing for the Nobel Prize for many years were cut in line by Xu You this time.
Wu Jing had no doubts about Xu You's abilities.
"Let me tell you something more specific. This time, we want to develop a high-precision satellite. Our goal is to achieve a centimeter-level resolution."
"Centimeters?"
This data was enough to surprise Xu You.
Like the civilian satellites currently used in China, the resolution can be controlled within one meter.
For example, some of the map navigation software we commonly use are associated with satellites with a resolution of 0.8 meters.
According to Xu You, the resolution of Google Maps in the United States can reach 0.3 meters.
At this resolution, even the cars parked in the parking lot can be clearly seen.
If it were higher...
Xu You could only think of the United States' Keyhole satellite and China's high-resolution satellite.
It is said that the resolution of these satellites can reach an astonishing 0.1 meters.
Such a high resolution is no longer just for commercial use, but can also be used for reconnaissance.
But at the same time, these satellites also have their own drawbacks.
For example, the U.S. Keyhole satellite has a narrow field of view, limited ability to distinguish true from false, and is easily attacked by anti-satellite weapons.
These are issues that we definitely need to consider.
And if it can really be made, a satellite with a resolution of centimeters.
That will be the highest-resolution satellite known in the world.
"Teacher Xu, you don't have to worry. We will provide you with the most detailed internal information and our experts will answer all your questions. Come, sign this confidentiality agreement first."
Xu You is already very familiar with this process.
After reading all the items in the confidentiality agreement, Xu You signed his name on the back.
Xu You did not ask Wu Jing about the purpose of this task.
After all, this is not something Xu You needs to consider.
However, based on the recent world situation, Xu You could roughly guess why China wanted to develop satellites with higher resolution.
"Teacher Wu, can I ask you a question?"
"I will answer anything you need to know," Wu Jing said.
"Teacher Wu, are you from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics?"
"No. You don't need to know about my specific duties. But I can tell you that after this, you may participate in more important tasks. Some things are more important than the scientific research projects you do in school."
Xu You was quite surprised by Wu Jing's answer.
If Wu Jing was from the Academy of Aeronautics and Astronautics, then these things would be easier to understand.
But Wu Jing denied Xu You's guess, which showed that the relationship was more complicated .
Since Wu Jing was not in a position to say, Xu You did not ask any more questions.
"Teacher Wu, I will go and learn some relevant knowledge now."
Xu You thought that if he could complete the task earlier, he could go home earlier with Wu Jing to celebrate the New Year.
"Okay, I'll help you arrange it right away. In fact, you are not completely . Many of the fields you studied before are related to satellites."
Next, Wu Jing made a phone call and called a man named Teacher Yu over.
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside Wu Jing's office.
"Come in!"
"Teacher Wu, I'm here."
"Okay. Teacher Xu, this is Mr. Yu Guangsheng from the Fifth College. Mr. Yu will take care of everything that happens next."
"Hello, Teacher Yu."
"Well, Mr. Xu, please follow me."
Here, the way people address each other is different from that at the Suzhou Satellite Launch Center.
Xu You didn’t know whether it was the difference between different systems or whether it was only between himself and others that they could address each other as teachers in this way.
Yu Guangsheng first took Xu You to another building.
"Teacher Xu, this is your future dormitory. We require that you are not allowed to bring mobile phones during work, so your mobile phone needs to be kept in the room at ordinary times."
Xu You was mentally prepared for such regulations.
Even if Xu You's cell phone was taken away, Xu You would not have any objection.
After all, this place is managed in a nearly militarized manner.
After putting the luggage in the dormitory, Xu You didn't pack much, and said to Yu Guangsheng:
"Teacher Yu, please take me to see the materials."
"Okay, please follow me."
Yu Guangsheng brought Xu You to another building.
This seems to be the scientific research area of the entire institute.
The scientific researchers inside were all wearing white clothes, which looked a bit like the white coats worn by doctors.
Yu Guangsheng took Xu You into an office.
The office was not small and was empty. There were some computers, many books, and various aerospace models displayed in the room.
