Chapter 501: Application Track
"Space resources are shared by all mankind and cannot be controlled by a few people."
The righteous words stated on Umbrella's official website.
And this kind of words attracted the approval of many people besides Da Piaoliang.
"Yeah, why can Da Piaoliang occupy all the tracks? Aren't there any restrictions?"
"It seems that there really isn't. The current reporting procedure is mainly to prevent satellite collisions and is not very mandatory."
"So let them take it all?"
At the same time, there are many people from other countries who are looking forward to seeing the beautiful people.
"Even if I take you, what can I do?"
"This is strength, don't you understand?"
"If you don't have the ability to develop it yourself, just wait on the sidelines."
"He's anxious, he's anxious."
The reusable rocket developed by SX Corporation is already very popular, and Umbrella’s public response has made this matter even more popular.
Now, in the past few years, Umbrella has proven their strength with facts!
Every product is of the highest quality and relies on technology to win.
But this time, they were finally defeated by the Rockets.
"We at Da Piaoliang don't need anyone to tell us what to do."
The beautiful spokesperson spoke in a very high-profile manner.
It can be said that he got rid of the anger he had suffered at the hands of Umbrella in recent times.
You guys are showing off, right?
You have no satellite orbital space left, and now you are so proud of yourself!
Although satellites are divided into low orbit, medium orbit and high orbit, in fact, the vast majority of human satellites currently belong to low orbit satellites, so the position of low orbit can be considered limited.
This is not just a matter of pure rocket launch cost to launch closer, another major reason is the solar wind and the Van Allen radiation belt.
These will have long-term impacts on the satellite and greatly reduce its lifespan.
Taking all aspects into consideration, almost all space equipment will be placed in the appropriate area of low-Earth orbit.
For example, the space station is placed in an orbit at an altitude of about 400km.
But in the past, everyone used satellites normally, and the number and frequency of launches each year were limited. Moreover, most satellites weighed more than one ton, and the launch cost was also there, so it did not take up too much.
Considering the number of tracks, it is not an imminent matter.
Because of this, no specific rules were discussed.
But who would have thought that SX company would do the opposite and directly use satellites that are one-tenth or even several tens of times the weight, coupled with repeatable rockets and multiple layers of buffs. This can be said to be an unprecedented increase in coverage!
Almost to confirm the words of the beautiful spokesperson, SX's first official reusable launch has begun.
"This time, for safety reasons, we will only launch 30 satellites, but the next mission will increase to 50."
In front of the live camera, Masra came to the scene in person, accompanied by the head of NASA and various reporters.
"So, Mr. Masra, what do you think of Umbrella's previous statement? I heard that your SX electric car is still relying on their batteries. Aren't you worried that they will sanction you?"
Some reporters are not afraid of making a big deal out of this. Now Umbrella's electrode factory has "slightly" restored its production capacity and started selling electrodes again.
However, like the previous batteries, the price has increased a lot, but at least it is available.
Coupled with the high-end market occupied by Umbrella's "Tracker", life is quite difficult for SX electric vehicles. They can only win by volume to fill the low-end market.
"At present, Umbrella has never taken the initiative to do anything that violates business rules. I am just a civilian space company. I use my own technology and compete normally. If I am still sanctioned by Umbrella, then I will accept it."
Masra spoke openly, saying that he was indeed controlled by others and there was no solution.
At the same time, he also expressed another meaning, that even if his electric cars were sanctioned, he would still develop his space business.
"Then, if Umbrella asks your company to help launch a satellite, will your company agree?"
Another reporter asked a question.
Because various explanations have repeatedly shown that what Umbrella lacks most now is satellites!
This is their fatal shortcoming.
Especially as Penglai's construction becomes more and more complete, the demand for satellites will probably become higher and higher.
"We are a commercial company and are of course happy to cooperate, but the prerequisite is that our authorities lift some of the bans, but I think this is definitely negotiable."
A certain degree of goodwill release.
It probably means that both parties can sit down and talk, compromise and make concessions to each other to achieve a win-win situation. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
If you’re short of satellites, can’t we help you launch them?
As the interview progressed, the Falcon rocket began the countdown to ignition.
It is a very simple launch site and a very ordinary satellite, which may even be said to be ugly in appearance.
In the close-up shot, you can see that there are some welding marks on the outer shell of the Falcon rocket. The overall look does not have any technological beauty, but rather a punk style.
But the more this is the case, the more it reflects the low cost and practicality of this rocket!
Boom!
As the ignition was completed, the pale blue flame of the burning methane pushed the rocket into the sky, and the speed was getting faster and faster!
"We use methane because it's cheap. Of course, kerosene is cheaper, but kerosene is prone to residual impurities, which makes it inconvenient for us to use it quickly a second time, so we chose this fuel after comprehensive consideration."
Masra spoke slowly in front of the camera.
We all know that rockets are divided into liquid fuel and solid fuel, and solid fuel is currently more popular and respected.
Many people may think, oh, liquid fuel is compressed into liquid, and solid fuel is compressed into solid.
But in fact, this is not the case at all. These are two different concepts, and even the materials of the fuel itself are very different.
The most convenient thing about solid rockets is that the preparation work is simplified and they can be launched easily. They can almost be launched by simply standing them upright, without the process of injecting fuel. However, due to their poor controllability, they are not used by the Falcon.
Solid rockets are more suitable for one-time launch missions, such as missiles...
As the Falcon's falling rocket body was constantly adjusted in the air and turned upright again, it slowly fell down and completed the recovery. Thunderous applause broke out at the scene!
A large number of reporters said in front of different cameras
"This is a miracle! From now on, satellite launches will become the same as civil aviation!"
"According to their debugging, all 30 satellites are currently functioning normally and are currently adjusting their orbital positions!"
“We can launch thousands of satellites every year, and 90% of the space orbits in the future will be SX’s satellites…”
“…”
At the same time, the camera also captured the staff who were debugging the satellite.
Keep listening to them say various test words.
"Satellite No. 7 has been successfully debugged and has entered the planned orbit."
"Satellite connection information transmission is normal, and networking is now available."
"Satellite No. 21 is normal..."
“…”
"Satellite No. 17 is normal, all satellites have been confirmed!"
Thunderous applause rang out again.
Also starting to celebrate were a large number of tearful congratulations from a certain Chinese section.
Fang Chuan, who had already run to Da Piaoliang, former professor Xu Silong, who was delivering a takeaway, and Chen Feng, who was washing dishes in the restaurant, were all concentrating on looking at their spiritual pillars.
After watching the rocket take off, everyone expressed a lot of praise and blessings on a certain platform.
Eager to find someone to share this joy with, eager to prove one's vision.
Chen Feng put down the bowl in his hand and excitedly found the boss from Hu Jian Immigration and said excitedly
"Boss! SX's recoverable satellite was successfully launched, and it was successfully recovered and thirty satellites were sent up at once!"
As he spoke, he waved the gloves covered with detergent foam.
This made Mr. Hu Jian turn around and look at him like a fool.
"You're surfing the Internet while you're working? Damn you, are you planning to deduct my salary? Go back and take a shower now, or you won't be allowed to eat until you've finished!"
There is no such thing as sympathy or inconsideration for illegal immigrants, otherwise why would he specifically look for him?
Moreover, these little bastards are cursing all the time, they really have holes in their brains.
Although Boss Hu Jian is an immigrant, the longer he has been here, the more he loves his hometown and can't stand hearing these fools say this.
Anyway, every time I hear them say this, it increases their workload.
Beautiful, right? It makes you feel better...
However, just when the entire network was flooded with news about SX's reusable rocket and the successful launch of thirty satellites.
Umbrella also slowly issued a congratulation and a statement of its own.
“First of all, congratulations to SX for the successful launch, but since you said so, we have to be blunt.
"Since space resources are on a first-come, first-served basis, our company will apply for 20,000 low-orbit satellites as a token of our appreciation..."
