Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

After hearing what Mr. Nie said, a military leader who was present at the meeting stood up and said, " Mr. Nie, what is the purpose of this military satellite?"

Although the big guys sitting here are all quite young, most of them are not from scientific research background.

But they have always been very concerned about international news.

You must know that the concept of this military satellite was proposed by Yingjiang early, but only a few countries in the world, such as Yingjiang and Mao Xiong, can come up with this.

Of course they were very curious when they heard that we were going to build our own military satellite.

Nie Lao waved his hand and motioned for the comrades who had just stood up to sit down first, and then said: "Okay, I know you are also curious about this, so I won't overdo it."

"The rest will be left to the comrades of the Academy of Sciences and let them introduce it to you in detail."

With that said, Mr. Nie pointed to Lin Shengli, "Comrade Shengli, come over and tell everyone."

After saying that, Nie Lao walked off the stage.

"I?"

"Shall I tell you?"

Lin Shengli pointed at himself and said with some surprise.

When Dean Qian, who was sitting next to Lin Shengli, saw this, he rolled his eyes at Lin Shengli and said: "You are not talking nonsense. You proposed this military satellite. If you don't go up and talk about it, why do you still want me and Team Leader Sun?" You two don’t know anything to go up and talk about it!”

After hearing what Dean Qian said, Lin Shengli scratched his head and walked to the podium in front.

"Hello fellow leaders, I won't say any more polite words, let's get straight to the point."

"The military satellite proposed by our institute this time is a satellite used for military reconnaissance."

"I know that you may have a lot to ask. So, let me explain clearly to you the causes and consequences of our redesign of satellite functions this time."

"After I finish speaking, if you have any questions later, we will discuss them together."

"First of all, I want all the leaders here to know that we originally planned to develop and launch an experimental satellite for scientific experiments."

"This specific design plan has been completed before."

"However, some time ago, our Long March [-] carrier rocket successfully tested, overturning the original satellite design."

"In this initial design plan, we were to build a scientific experiment satellite with a diameter of one meter and a weight of 173 kilograms. The design was mainly based on the carrying capacity of the launch vehicle."

"But later, with the successful launch of our Long March-[-] carrier rocket, this problem was solved."

"The Long March-[-] launch vehicle independently developed by us can be said to be at the forefront of the world in terms of technological level and advanced level."

"The carrying capacity of our Long March [-] launch vehicle has reached an astonishing five tons."

"With the improvement of the carrying capacity of our launch vehicles, there are more possibilities in the design of our satellites."

"This is why we will overturn the original plan and redesign our satellites."

"Everyone knows that this first satellite we developed is of great significance to us."

"This design requirement requires everyone to be able to observe our satellite with the naked eye on the ground."

"So, from the perspective of its purpose and specific requirements, our first satellite will be a low-orbit satellite."

"Low-orbit satellites, in theory, are the most suitable for military satellites, low-orbit meteorological satellites, and communication satellites."

"After taking into account the relevant technologies available in our country, we proposed to integrate this scientific experiment satellite into a satellite with military reconnaissance functions."

"Of course, to the outside world, we will still claim that this is an experimental satellite used for scientific experiments."

"Moreover, in the original design plan, the equipment life of the scientific experiment equipment will not change and is still calculated at 20 days."

"This is also a way to deceive others."

"In this case, no one would have thought that this satellite, which could only survive for 20 days in space and was used for scientific experiments, turned out to be a military satellite that can operate in space for at least several decades in the true sense. Reconnaissance satellite.”

After listening to what Lin Shengli said, everyone present at the meeting suddenly became more interested.

After everyone discussed for a while, Mr. Su asked with a smile: "Comrade Shengli, you just said that the purpose of this satellite is for military reconnaissance."

"So, how does it conduct reconnaissance?"

"Are its detection methods and effects better than our elite scout soldiers?"

This question of Mr. Su is actually a question that everyone here generally wants to know.

After listening to Mr. Su's question, Lin Shengli smiled and replied: "Mr. Su, our research institute's idea is to install a TV camera and related signal transmitting devices on this satellite."

"In this case, because our satellite itself is in a low orbit, our satellite can take pictures of the places it passes, and then transmit the images back to the ground through the signal transmitting device."

"Of course, although our satellites also have reconnaissance functions, this does not mean that they are necessarily better than our elite reconnaissance soldiers. This can only be said that each has its own strengths!"

"The most important thing about our military reconnaissance satellite is its concealment." "When it passes over the enemy's sky, think about it. At this time, who would have thought that above their heads, there is a distance from them. There is a pair of eyes staring at them from two thousand kilometers in space!"

"In addition, due to this related technical reason, the images taken by our military reconnaissance satellites may be relatively blurry."

"But it can be used to detect the relevant deployment of enemy positions and the movement of enemy troops."

"If this is combined with our elite scout soldiers, the effect will probably be very great."

"Dear leaders, although I am not from the army and have never fought in a war, I also clearly understand the importance of this information on the battlefield..."

After hearing Shengli's words, Old Man Su smiled and nodded, and everyone below also nodded.

Later, Mr. Nie asked Lin Shengli another question.

"Comrade Shengli, how did you solve the problem of powering the satellite?"

"I know that you originally designed the satellite's working life to be 20 days. The biggest reason was the power supply problem."

After seeing Nie Lao raise this question, Lin Shengli continued to answer: "Nie Lao, I have studied solar power generation technology before."

"My idea is that we can put a certain number of solar panels on satellites."

"When the sun shines on it, it generates electric current, which is then stored in batteries inside the satellite that store electricity."

"Then, our satellite will draw power from the battery to maintain its work."

After Lin Shengli answered this question, he looked at the scene and saw that everyone had no more questions. Lin Shengli walked down the stage and gave the stage to Nie Lao again.

After looking at everyone present, Nie Lao said, "Everyone has heard what Comrade Shengli just said."

"If you have any thoughts and opinions, please share them."

"After all, after the satellite is successfully launched, it will mainly be used by your military."

After Mr. Nie finished speaking, the big guys present at the meeting began to discuss.

After a while, the big guys present at the meeting formed the same opinion.

engage!
This must be done!

Even if the pot is smashed and the iron is sold, we still have to do it!
Most of the people here, including Nie Lao, were from the military. After Lin Shengli introduced them, they understood the benefits of this military reconnaissance satellite.

"We have no objection. We will definitely develop this military reconnaissance satellite."

"We just didn't know about such a good thing. Now that we know about it, there's no reason not to do it."

A military boss, who had a fiery temper on the battlefield and a bold personality in life, stood up and said.

"Yes, if it is necessary and requires our support and cooperation, we will give our full support and cooperation." Another military boss said equally decisively.

After listening to everyone's speech, Mr. Nie was not surprised.

Everyone has come from the war years, just like him. Although he is no longer specifically responsible for military affairs, he still understands the importance of military reconnaissance satellites.

"Comrade Shengli, you see, they have said they will fully support and cooperate."

"Then tell me what you need them to do here."

After listening to Nie Lao's words, Lin Shengli stood up from his seat and said, "Nie Lao, this really requires the cooperation of our army comrades."

"It's like this. I hope to select some comrades from the army. The number doesn't need to be too many, about 30 to [-] people."

"My idea is to establish a specialized intelligence analysis department based on these 30 people."

"They will identify the content subsequently captured by our military reconnaissance satellites, as well as interpret and analyze the images."

"After all, we have to know what we photographed."

"This matter cannot be left to our comrades from the Academy of Sciences."

"Of course, in the early stage, we will definitely provide corresponding training to these comrades in the army."

"After these comrades are trained, they will be placed in the military."

"At the same time, our ground receiving equipment for this satellite will also be placed with the military."

"In this way, if there is any latest information, it can be conveyed to the superiors in time."

"Furthermore, since the content captured by our military reconnaissance satellite is very confidential, it is most appropriate for our military comrades to interpret it."

"And if there is a problem in the future, our Academy of Sciences can come over and solve it."

All the big guys present expressed their agreement with Lin Shengli's speech. (End of chapter)
