Chapter 317 Why would they take the initiative to provide us with technology?
The unexpected incident with the Soviet satellite made the space systems of various countries vigilant.
No one wants to see such an incident.
After that, CNSA conducted a detailed evaluation of Xu You’s in-orbit satellite fault warning system.
After detailed evaluation, CNSA determined that this system is not only very stable, but also has better simulated warning effects than previous warning systems.
This system has officially entered the application stage.
Because our satellites have been relatively stable, the application value of this early warning system has not been well reflected.
However, there are some other data that prove the significance of this system.
"Professor Xu, through our observations over this period of time, we have found that after these satellites use the new early warning system, the prediction curve is much ahead of the actual data change curve."
A staff member reported the statistical conclusions of this period to Xu You.
Xu You immediately understood the meaning of the staff member's words.
Simply put, after using this new early warning system, if there is any abnormality in the satellite data , the early warning system will be able to notice these changes earlier and issue an early warning.
"Well, that's the best. Our satellites wouldn't have any problems anyway, and this early warning system is just icing on the cake for us," said Xu You.
In fact, Xu You’s original intention in developing this new in-orbit satellite failure warning system was not only to protect our satellites, but also to protect the satellites of other countries.
After all, if other countries' satellites malfunction and fall down, it would not be a good thing for us.
If it falls into the ocean, it's not a problem.
If it falls in a densely populated area, the consequences will be disastrous.
After ensuring that the new early warning system is safe and efficient.
CNSA decided to share a simplified version of this early warning system with several other countries that have satellites.
In the simplified version of the on-orbit satellite fault warning system, early warning can be given for the intense activity of sunspots.
If the Soviet satellite incident happens again, there is a high probability that early warning can be provided to avoid such accidents from happening again.
As for why the full version of the early warning system was not shared.
After all, no one knows what will happen in the future.
It is better to keep a few tricks up your sleeve in everything.
"I don't know whether those countries can repay our kindness and give us some technology of equal value. If they really don't show any gratitude, then they are really unkind," said Hu Shucheng.
"Old Hu, don't think too much about this. Our original intention was just to worry about their satellite falling. Regardless of whether they are our allies or not, we don't want their satellite to fall and hit anyone. There are similar situations in daily life. My point of view is that you don't need to sacrifice yourself for others, but you can do some small things according to your own strength. It would be best if they can repay the kindness, but if not, don't worry too much. After all, it's hard to equate effort with reward."
Xu You recalled the scholarship foundation he founded.
Xu You did not put most of his money in the foundation, not only because he was reluctant to spend the money, but also because he did not want to have too many expectations on it.
If you really care too much about whether your input and output are equal, you will often end up disappointed.
"That's true. You are the one who lives a clear life."
"Haha, I gain a lot from discussing philosophy with Lu Zhiyao often."
"That said, I also want to consult with Lu Zhiyao. When I have time, I will definitely go to Ji University and have a good chat with you two."
Hu Shucheng felt it was a pity that he did not go to Ji University more often when he was studying in Jihang.
"No problem, you're welcome anytime. I'll treat you to delicious food and drinks, and I'll even take you to feed the cats and relax."
"Feeding a cat to relax? You two are quite good at it."
"To be honest, feeding a cat is very relaxing. Thistle's cat is very smart. I guarantee that after you feed it once, you will want to feed it a second time. I don't tell ordinary people about this..."
CNSA explained to the space systems of various countries that it could share its satellite early warning system for solar activity.
Space systems of all countries welcomed this.
The aerospace systems of the Soviet Union and other countries have expressed their gratitude to CNSA and promised to provide CNSA with aerospace technologies of equal value in the future.
After receiving the information from CNSA, NASA also welcomed the matter.
"CNSA actually took the initiative to express its willingness to authorize us to use their satellite failure warning system... This is really unheard of."
Robert even had some doubts about this matter, wondering why CNSA was so generous this time.
Despite this, they will not refuse this free technology.
"Director Robert, maybe... they are just worried that our satellite might fall and hit some innocent people. China is one of the most densely populated countries among these big countries. In other words... they may not want to give us technology for free, but they are just worried that we don't have strong enough technology to ensure the safety of our own satellites."
"Humph, then they are just overthinking it."
"But, Director Robert, that incident more than ten years ago..."
Hearing this, Robert's expression suddenly changed.
"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's test their system first, just in case there is any problem. If there is no problem, we can use it."
"Okay, I understand, Chief Robert."
Robert seemed to remember something and continued:
"Also, if there is really no problem with this system, we can't just accept their favor for nothing. We have to express our gratitude to them."
Although Robert was very dissatisfied, he also knew that if things continued like this, cooperation between NASA and CNSA would be in the best interests of them.
If we really just accept their technology for nothing without showing any appreciation, then any possible cooperation in the future would be even more difficult to achieve.
After completing the testing of this early warning system, NASA confirmed that the entire system is very safe and does have a very good early warning effect for solar activity.
To this end, NASA specially posted such a tweet on its Twitter account.
"We are grateful to CNSA for providing us with the in-orbit satellite fault warning system, which has provided great help to mankind's space industry and also safeguarded the safety of all mankind. We hope that China can continue to share these technologies and make contributions to mankind's space industry."
It was originally a tweet of thanks, but when you read it, it feels very meaningful.
It seems that the main point being expressed is not gratitude, but a desire to continue to greedily take.
