Chapter 547 You Are Capable, You Can Take It Down! (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)
Not only Mu Yang is waiting for the new rules formulated by the L United Nations, but Musk is also waiting.
However, the latter is more like waiting for sentencing, just to see what sentence is sentenced.
The participants were all the leaders of the space agencies and telecommunications of various countries, and they were also directors of the United Nations Aerospace Council. The quarrel the day before was like a vegetable market.
"It was the rules you put forward at the beginning, but now you feel that it is inappropriate, and it is not good for you, and you have proposed new rules. Why did you not propose new rules when the Starlink project was announced, only officials were allowed to set fires, and civilians were not allowed to light lamps, saying It's you people from the ugly country." The representatives of the Hua country conference directly pointed out that as long as they don't curse people, everyone doesn't have to save face.
According to the usual practice, when a country wants to launch a satellite, it must first declare to the ITU, and then it can occupy the orbit.
After applying for the satellite orbit and frequency, the satellite must be launched within a limited time of eight years, otherwise the applied orbit will be invalidated if the valid time frame is exceeded.
Originally, Huaguo had applied for 14,500 low-Earth satellite orbit resources, but it was not enough to use so many, so it was originally planned to wait until the application was completed.
There are so many applications, and it was also to cope with Musk's Starlink project. It is too much to launch 100 satellites a year.
But what I didn't expect was that the Xinghai Group could actually use it.
Later, Mu Yang didn't care about the irregularity of the rules. If it was not enough, he would issue it first and then apply. The rules are originally for the strong to use, and if they have the ability, they will be defeated. Protesting is useless, and it is not launching intercontinental missiles.
All kinds of dangerous experiments are explicitly prohibited by international laws, but some countries still do not do so.
Moreover, the Xinghai Group can say that these satellites are only for experimental purposes. Does the experiment also need to be declared?
Therefore, Huaguo ZF just turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, pretending not to know about such a thing, and only helping Xinghai Group to apply after it was exposed.
It can also be said that the Xinghai Group has occupied the satellite orbit resource quota applied by the country.
"Times are changing, and the rules have to change. The suggestions we made at the beginning were most suitable for the development of countries at the time, but they are no longer suitable. When the Starlink plan was announced, we also felt that it was unreasonable, so we made draft suggestions. With the result, it's not normal to be a few months late."
"Well, we also think it's normal to be a few months late. I suggest that today's meeting be over for the time being. There are too many disputes among the parties. There is no need to rush to make a decision. You should think about it more to avoid being too hasty."
After speaking, the Hua Nation allies also agreed that some countries will not benefit from space, but they are also happy to see the ugly country suffer. Anyway, they are not in a hurry, so they just watch the show.
This debate was originally a game between the Kingdom of Hua and the Kingdom of Ugly.
According to the regulations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the right to use satellite frequencies and orbits adopts the "first come, first served" rule.
In the past, no country could launch tens of thousands of satellites in a short period of time, launching an average of 2 rockets a day. It is Xinghai Group that broke the concept of everyone, and it feels inappropriate to use the previous set of rules.
Satellites operate in low-earth orbits, and there can only be one satellite in one orbit.
The limit capacity of near-Earth space orbit is 50,000 to 65,000, and it is non-renewable.
The star network directly seized most of the orbital resources. Tens of thousands of satellites are insignificant to the universe, but they appear crowded in low-Earth orbit.
The content of everyone's discussion is the allocation of resources in low-earth orbit. If the Xinghai Group is really allowed to continue in this way, there will be no other countries.
Huaguo insisted: According to the original rules, whoever has the ability will win. It is impossible to ask them to give up resources now.
The original rules are most beneficial to Xinghai Group and Hua Country, but Hua Country also knows that since the meeting has been held, they must know that some rules need to be changed.
The meeting was held in New York, which is where the headquarters of the United Nations of L is located. Ugly country has a great local advantage.
In fact, even if it is a new rule, as long as Musk's Starlink project can be cut off, it will also be beneficial to Xinghai Group.
It is also impossible for the Xinghai Group to launch satellites without restriction. It will cost more than 100 billion yuan to launch an additional 30,000 to 40,000 satellites. Mu Yang most hopes to cut off the Starlink project, and does not want other countries to build any more Starlink satellites.
Well, just Starnet will do.
After arguing for three days, the rules have not been finalized, mainly due to Hua Guo's delaying time.
During these three days, the Xinghai Group stepped up its launches, launching 9 times in three days, and a total of 49 rockets were launched.
There are still 10 times to complete the task, and Mu Yang is also a little nervous.
If the new rules require the Xinghai Group to stop immediately, it will definitely be detrimental to the Xinghai Group;
But if the new rules are enforced a few days later, it doesn't matter.
They dug a big hole, what happened in the end, Mu Yang also wanted to know.
Ugly country saw that Xinghai Group's launch frequency increased, three launches a day, it was too scary.
In other words, after the rocket is recovered, there is not much time for maintenance at all, and the satellite is directly assembled, and even the debugging time after the completion of the major assembly is shortened.
I am very surprised by Xinghai Group's technical capabilities. After some calculation, we all know that the launch cost is too cheap.
Countries dare not procrastinate. If it is delayed for another month, the Xinghai Group will launch tens of thousands of satellites, and the new rules will be useless.
On January 24, the Xinghai Group continued to launch three more rockets.
On this day, there was no wrangling, but a day off.
The Secretary-General requested that the results must be released on January 25.
Some rights can be released for internal discussions in the Ugly Country, and there is no longer any delay!
On January 25th, Chou and Hua were under pressure, and there were fewer quarrels.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the new rules were announced.
[Since February 1, 2017, the Xinghai Group is prohibited from continuing to launch a large number of low-earth orbit satellites, and like other high-orbit satellites, dozens of satellites a year are not within the limit.
It is forbidden for any country to launch a large number of satellites in low-earth orbit similar to the Starnet and Starlink projects.
Before launching, the ITU regulations must be complied with, and the satellites can only be launched after pre-applying for satellite frequencies and orbits.
According to the situation of each country, the maximum number of launches per year is as follows...]
The content of the new rules sounds absurd, even child's play, mainly for the situation of Starnet and Starlink.
Most countries do not necessarily launch satellites once a year. Under normal circumstances, there have been about 90 satellite launches globally in the past few years (multi-satellite launch is only counted as one launch).
In geosynchronous orbits other than near-Earth orbit, there are no restrictions due to sufficient resources.
It will be implemented from February 1, 2017, which is the time Huaguo ZF won for Xinghai Group.
Of course, Xinghai Group would definitely not be happy if the rules were changed, but there was nothing to say. Hua Guo had gained some right to speak, and had tried his best to win the greatest benefits for Xinghai Group.
In future resolutions on international space affairs, Hua Country has a one-vote right to veto, a total of three chances. This is the chance that Xinghai Group gave up on the follow-up satellite launch game.
That is to say, in the future, if there is any decision that is unfavorable to Hua Country, Hua Country will have one vote to deny it, even if it is decided by the public.
Whether this one-vote right of veto is useful or not is hard to say, but if the ugly country insists on going its own way, most countries will have no way to resist it.
Generally speaking, it seems that the Xinghai Group has suffered a loss in this game, but it also violated the regulations first, launching too many satellites without applying to the ITU.
But Xinghai Group's technology is too advanced, others can't do anything with it, and the cost of blowing up the Xingdou-1 satellite is too high.
The day before yesterday, the relevant departments of the Ugly country and astronomers from some countries protested that the Xinghai Group launched too many satellites and demanded that the satellites be self-destructed.
The Xinghai Group's public relations spokesperson directly held a media press conference, and replied domineeringly in front of the media reporters: "You have the ability, you can fight it!"
"Besides, our satellites don't have self-destruct weapons."
Of course the public relations spokesperson dared not say that, this was what Mu Yang meant.
The ugly country has nothing to say. The cost of intercontinental missiles that can be launched into low-earth orbit is many times higher than the cost of the Xingdou-1 satellite. How could it be willing to spend that money.
Later, there was no follow-up, which made domestic netizens shout.
"Xinghai Group is domineering, if you don't accept it, come and hit me!"
"The ugly country may not have so many intercontinental missiles, and the cost of defeating them is too high, haha."
"The Xinghai Group is awesome. I feel comfortable seeing the ugly country eating turtles."
"Fortunately, Mushen transferred Chouguo's shares earlier. Otherwise, the assets might have been confiscated by Chouguo. Just like this, Chouguo has no choice but to grit his teeth and hold his breath. It's uncomfortable."
After the media announced the results of the "Application and Supplementary Regulations for Low-Earth Orbit Satellites" formulated by the United Nations and ITU, netizens from various countries expressed their opinions.
Most people feel that the Xinghai Group is at a disadvantage. If the new regulations are followed, the original plan to launch 50,000 satellites will only be able to launch about 20,000 satellites.
Netizens in Huaguo are very dissatisfied, but generally speaking, it is acceptable. It is a good result to be able to launch 20,000 satellites while restricting the execution of Starlink satellites.
Musk of SPACEX was very dissatisfied with the new regulations. The satellite orbits he had applied for were cancelled, and he needed to reapply. A maximum of 100 satellites could be launched a year. The Starlink project really died.
Spacex was originally supported by NAAS (SA), and the two parties had contact. Musk called the leader of NAAS: "Why did we sacrifice? If so, the Starlink plan cannot be implemented, and the damage is not limited to SPACEX. , you can’t use Starlink either.”
"It's very helpless, if SPACEX is the first to launch tens of thousands of Starlink satellites, there is no way for Huaguo to stop it.
However, no one would have thought that the Xinghai Group would intervene.
If you disagree with Huaguo's opinion, then Xinghai Group will continue to launch 50,000 low-earth orbit satellites. In fact, SpaceX has nothing to do with it. How do you think we choose.
We are already far behind!
Musk, you have to understand that this is the best result we have achieved. We have been arguing with the representative of Hua Country for several days.
Of course, if SPACEX launches a large number of Starlink satellites in violation of regulations, it will just meet Xinghai Group's wishes and continue to launch Starlink satellites.
Therefore, SPACEX must strictly follow the new rules. "
Musk was very dissatisfied after listening to the call from the NAAS executive leader. After hanging up the phone, his angry face twisted into a raging lion, and he swears directly: "F*K!"
After scolding, he pushed the glass water glass next to him to the ground, and it broke with a "pop".
His heart was also broken.
Worry a few days ago, really.
Sitting on the chair dejectedly, saying from time to time: "It's over, everything is over!"
The Starlink project is really over.
His dreams of a global internet were also dashed.
...
Musk's protest was invalid, and he couldn't protest anything.
Similarly, Xinghai Group protested against the new rules and was very dissatisfied with the result.
On January 26, Zhou Chen held a press conference and spoke: "The rules are set by you, but because they are not good for you, you can modify them however you want. The United States of L is your ugly country that has the final say. This is The hegemony of your ugly country."
Complaining to L United Nations, even if you know it is useless, you must stand on the side of justice and discredit the other party.
This is very realistic. If a company wants to change an ugly country, it is impossible without the support of the country.
Zhou Chen and Mu Yang discussed the new rules after seeing the new rules. They only finished the task after 6 launches, but there were still 5 days left. Do it on January 31st.
If the launch is completed a few days in advance, but it is not launched in the last few days, there will be loopholes in the previously announced 50,000 satellite plan.
To protest, to appear to be at a disadvantage, and to play enough.
Even if the protest was useless, Mu Yang didn't feel wronged, and he could make the other party and the country pay attention. He already said that the Xingxinghai Group was strong enough.
He just wants to live a peaceful life now. After ten or twenty years, if this kind of thing happens again, whoever decides in the end may decide.
No matter what, in this international game, Xinghai Group and Hua Country were the winners. Not only did they win, but they also put Ugly Country into a trap.
a few days later,
It happened to be January 31. The Xinghai Group's protest and complaint in the morning of the week was useless. The L United Nations did not accept it. It just offered some comfort and hoped that the Xinghai Group would abide by the ITU rules and said that it would not carry out any operations against the satellites operated by the Xinghai Group in violation of regulations. deal with.
At nine o'clock this morning,
Xinghai Group completed its 59th rocket launch, perfectly launched 20,000 satellites, and the Star Network was finally completed.
When this task was completed, all the employees of the rocket base control center jumped up and cheered excitedly.
They are too tired during this time, and they have been working overtime during the Spring Festival.
Of course, Mu Yang, chairman of Xinghai Group, also often came to the base to accompany them, and he did not have a good year in peace.
In order to lay out this star network, Xinghai Group has prepared for a long time.
It took more than two years to develop rocket engines, build rocket launch bases, rocket manufacturing plants, design and develop satellites, and launch satellites.
The Xinghai Group has invested more than 100 billion yuan, of which the production cost of 20,000 Xingdou-1 satellites is no less than 50 billion yuan.
The harvest is also huge, owning the star network.
First, all the cars under the Xinghai Group can update the car-machine system and connect to the star network. In the underground garage, there is no need to worry about the bad signal. At the same time, the level of intelligent driving can be improved in the future, which is beneficial to the sales of Xinghai Group cars;
Second, Xinghai Group can deploy global WIFI globally. If it can be implemented, if 100 million people around the world use satellite communication, and it costs 5 to 10 dollars a month, Xinghai Group can charge billions of dollars a year.
Of course, this is not considered to be used by the people of the Hua Kingdom. It is still being discussed at the top, and there is a lot of controversy. It is estimated that it will not be so easy to achieve.
If more people use star network communication, mobile phone communication + mobile computer network, it is normal to charge tens of billions of dollars a year.
Third, and most importantly, cut off the Starlink project, provide a star network for the country, lead the Ugly country in space strategy, and greatly enhance the strength of Junshi.
Xinghai Group has completed a great milestone in aerospace development and laid a solid foundation for the next step of space station development.
After the task is completed,
Mu Yang announced that, in addition to the normal duty, a long vacation will be given to the employees of the satellite project team, the year-end bonus will be doubled, and a family of up to four people will travel for free within seven days.
20,000 satellites did not have any quality problems. The employees of the production department and the quality department also received the reward promised by Mu Yang at the beginning. Ordinary workers can get a reward of at least 60,000 yuan.
In addition, their year-end bonuses are also doubled, and overtime pay is compensated in accordance with national regulations.
February 1st, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
It was rare for Mu Yang to relax.
Xinghai Group followed international rules to stop launching satellites, which also made countries relax.
But what they didn't expect was that Mu Yang had even bigger plans, and the progress of Xinghai Group's aerospace development was unimaginable.
During this period of time, the media's attention was all on Xinghai Group's Starnet.
One year has passed, Xinghai Group did not hold the annual meeting this year due to special reasons, but Mu Yang's wealth has increased a lot.
He did not reach the top of the wealth list again, but a certain foreign media helped him count his wealth, and after the announcement, it once again shocked the world.
