The next day.

At dusk, the "u"-shaped office building of the matrix technology headquarters, Ren Hong once again took off by helicopter and left the company headquarters, and the destination was Wenchang City.

Ren Hong went to Wenchang City because he received the notification of the first phase of satellite launch.

The major sectors of the "virtual world" project are doing their jobs, and they are moving smoothly in step by step.In this aspect of the content sector, Facebook and the four top game developers and a studio are in full swing to the production stage, and the hardware laying is also not falling, and everything is implemented according to plan.

Nearly half a year has passed since Zhang's trip to Canada in April, and in May, Ren Hong's Seattle trip, after this year's China-US Entrepreneurs Roundtable, Matrix Technology and the U.S. space exploration technology company SpaceX, Laura Space Systems ss/l and Bell Labs in the United States reached a cooperation, and its first phase of the satellite laying mission is also about to be completed at the end of the year.

The first laying phase of the "virtual network" starts from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, and the first phase of the launch mission will be officially opened around 21:00 this evening.

Ren Hong also attaches great importance to this first stage of the launch, and when receiving the news, he put down other affairs and personally came to the launch site."Virtual world" this project invested too much effort, time, human, material resources, financial resources are unprecedented, it is impossible not to pay attention.

“Deputy Director!Hello there.”

“Mr. Ren, fortunately!It's lucky!"

At this moment, the eastern hemisphere has entered the moon night, Wenchang launch command center is bright, all the staff are in their position, there are the last 30 minutes of time, the launch is about to start, one by one tight nerves, this time the launch of the thing is too expensive, so expensive that no one can afford, can not tolerate a single drop of the pool.

“The satellite launch is about to begin, let’s go to the Dome observation room.”The deputy director smiled, facing Ren Hong is also very enthusiastic.

Matrix technology is a fragrant presence in the national aerospace field and even in global space business activities.The world's top ten aerospace companies in the world's nine aerospace companies on the "Laura space system company ss/l" can take the matrix technology of a super fat list, can be described as full of envy and jealousy, the same by the nine major aerospace companies envy the object and "space exploration technology company spacex", Elon Musk is they hate the itch, already squeezed the share of the launch market, now see SpaceX to get the matrix technology launch order, in addition to those who have nothing to do with their own.

Obviously, the order put out by Matrix Technology is not a general fertilizer, he would like to give all the launch orders to the National Space Administration, but he can only eat half.

But even half, for the opening of the deputy director, can only be a pity to the stomach volume of snacks can not be all.

Ren Hong this time the nearly half of the order to the National Space Administration, the value of nearly 200 billion yuan of orders is undoubtedly a dose of stimulant, greatly stimulated the national space agency in the space industry commercialization, matrix technology an order almost more than the sum of the previous in the commercial launch services costs, open the deputy director no reason not to be enthusiastic about Ren Hong.

Now the matrix technology in the eyes of outsiders can be described as where to go, the banknotes to throw where, which company or institutions and matrix technology contact after the contact is not full of red light, this is the right real wealth, the Lord of Fortune!

observation room.

Ren Hong and Kai Deputy Director stood in front of the window glass, the distant launch site, a huge launch vehicle towering on the earth, in the night under the light of the light is unusually eye-catching, and in the far away places there are some local residents, even reporters are in the outer area to observe and shoot.

People living around the people are already very familiar with this situation, which shows that there are rockets to be launched, every time the Wenchang launch center rocket launch will be onlookers, without him, for the local people, the rocket launch as if the world's shock of the miracle, every time is not tired, no fireworks have this good-looking.

The deputy director pointed to the rocket on the launch site and said: "This is China's latest generation of launch vehicle 'Long March-9 Series A' launch vehicle, with a diameter of 9.7 meters, a height of 118 meters, a take-off mass of 2890 tons, a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 170 tons, and a high-altitude orbit carrying capacity of 136 tons, which can send up to 70 tons of objects to geosynchronous orbit."

Ren Hong silently nodded, opened the deputy director said this series of data when he was proud, "the 'Long March-9 Series A-class' launch vehicle has reached a world-class leading level, and has surpassed the famous 'Apollo spacecraft' American 'Saturn series' launch vehicle."

The "Long March-9 Series A" launch vehicle is also a remarkable achievement, of which the only super space station in orbit "Tianzhou" is launched with this series of launch vehicles, so far there has been no accident, by the world is recognized as one of the safest launch vehicles in the world.

The upcoming launch of the Long March-9 Series A launch vehicle will carry up to 68 tons of satellites into a synchronous orbit at a distance of 36,000 kilometers from Earth.

Strictly speaking, this big guy with an actual mass of up to 68 tons is not a real satellite, and this frightening mass is already comparable to a spaceship or a small space station.

In fact, it has its own official name "Tianqing system".

This launch is "Sky Engine One", in the next half a month, will be successively sent to the "Heium II" and "Skysheng III" to geosynchronous orbit, so as to reach the global virtual network skeleton.

Every component on the "Tianqing system" is the world's top equipment instrument, which contains the scientific and technological crystallization of more than 20 high-tech companies, including matrix technology.If the world's first super quantum computer located at the headquarters of Matrix Technology is the parent body of the "virtual world", then the three "Tianqing system" that will be sent into space is the sub-body.

The reason why the "Tactus system" has reached a staggering quality of nearly 70 tons, of which D-Wave from Canada provides a quantum computer responsible for design, accounting for nearly 40% of the mass and 55% of the main space."Tianqing system" is responsible for connecting users and terminals around the world's temporary data center transit station and temporary reserve library, known as "child body", a quantum computer is one of the essential core, in addition, space signal remote sensing, photonic signal data and quantum data conversion, antiemp electromagnetic pulse defense system and so on countless."Tianqing system" covers more than 30 of human cutting-edge technology, can be described as a collection of cutting-edge science and technology in one.

The cost investment of the three "Sky Engine system" has reached the entire "virtual world" project 500 billion US dollars budget of 68 billion US dollars, almost twice the cost of the other 200 satellites, in the future, matrix technology in the earth outer space has up to 100 billion U.S. dollars in assets.

Such a high cost, must use the world's safest and most stable and reliable launch vehicle, otherwise if the launch failure, even Ren Hong will be bleeding.

"The countdown to the last minute launch."The deputy director who accompanied Ren Hong in the observation room said that his face was unusually heavy, and when he said this sentence, he did not even look at Ren Hong, but stared at the extremely large launch vehicle on the launch site.

This time, the launch mission was personally commanded and led by the director, and the deputy director also led a lot of launch missions, and even once was the launch mission that led the three-level expansion of the Tianzhou space station, and the deputy director did not lead the launch mission today, but it was more intense than any previous personal lead launch.
