Chapter 510 Electronic Map Test! (First Update!)

Lanling.

Seeing the rocket take off in the broadcast, the people in the satellite research and development center burst into applause and cheers.

After the cheers, a group of people returned to their posts in an orderly manner.

The rocket was successfully launched, so the next work was their turn.

The satellite was launched at 9:30, and a group of people waited until 1:00 a.m., when the fastest satellite No. 27 finally arrived at the scheduled orbit. After a simple adjustment, it was finally online.

On the big screen of the control center, there was an animated picture of the earth, and on the periphery of the earth, there were 12 bright spots, running wildly around the periphery of the earth at a very fast speed.

Among the 12 bright spots, there were 10 green and two gray-green.

The 10 green dots were low-orbit satellites launched by Rheinsteel itself.

And the two gray-green ones were synchronous orbit satellites of the UAE.

The signal of satellite No. 27 was successfully connected, and the people in the control center began to conduct various tests in an orderly manner according to the plan.

Then, more and more satellites came online, and there were more and more green bright spots on the big screen.

By dawn, the number of green dots had increased to 27. These 27 dots traveled over the northern hemisphere at an extremely fast speed according to the set orbits, weaving a green hat for the northern hemisphere shown in the animation with the orbits.

It lasted until 3 pm, and the signal adjustment, functional testing, and work of the 27 satellites, including the 18 newly launched satellites and the 9 previously launched satellites, were all completed.

At the moment when the progress bar was finished, the people in the control center collapsed in their chairs, gasping for breath.

"It's really annoying! To be honest, when I first entered this institute, I thought I had found a bargain, a job with high pay, little work and food and accommodation, but damn, the intensity of the work."

"That's perfect, a classmate of mine wants to come over, you give him your position."

"You think too much!"

"Is this annoying? Every time we have a meeting, the dean will say that we need to build a low-orbit satellite network, which will require about 16,000 satellites, 16,000! Now there are 27 satellites, and you are complaining, but when there are 16,000 satellites, you may die directly."

"No, no! I have to optimize this damn system, otherwise we will rely on ourselves for 16,000 satellites, and we will be exhausted to death."

“But there is no research funding!”

“Let’s try it first. If it works, we will report the project to the dean and he will definitely approve it.”

“I’ll go take a nap first. You guys keep an eye on it and call me if there is anything!”

“Sleep? How can you sleep at your age? How can you deserve your salary if you fall asleep?”

“When will the field test team send the data?”

“They send data, but that depends on whether they can receive the signal. If there is no signal, they can only carry their positioning data back manually.”

“Then I’ll go to sleep!”

“Sleep, the electronic map team just left!”

…………

Chaerhan, 800 miles, is a rich land that has not yet been fully developed.

This is a salt lake located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is more than 160 kilometers long from east to west, 20 to 40 kilometers wide from north to south, and the rock layer is about 2 to 20 meters thick. The total area of ​​the entire lake is 5,856 square kilometers.

It is the largest salt lake in China and the second largest salt lake in the world.

The mineral salt reserves of this salt lake are about 50 billion tons, mainly potassium salt, accompanied by magnesium, sodium, lithium, boron, iodine, chlorine, bromine, rubidium, cesium and other minerals.

Among them, the reserves of potassium, magnesium and lithium resources are among the best.

On the edge of the blue salt lake, the test team from Rheinsteel unfolded the equipment, connected the power supply and started it.

[Signal connecting...]

[Signal connection successful! ]

Looking at the message popping up on the device display, the test team members breathed a sigh of relief. This is a no-man's land.

There is no communication signal, so only satellite phones can be used.

As a test team, if they cannot receive the signal, then their coming out this time is equivalent to not coming out.

If you want to test, you must go to a place where you can receive the signal.

By then, their test will be meaningless.

It will fall into a dead loop.

I need to test my satellite signal in a place without signal. I can't receive my satellite signal in a place without signal. I can only receive my satellite signal in a place with signal.

The signal is received successfully, and I need to test my satellite signal in a place without signal.

Damn!

The signal connection was successful, and the test team members immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Because it was a plateau, in order to avoid unnecessary situations, the faces of the group of people were not too excited, and they all had gloomy faces.

After testing all the equipment on all the cars and confirming that they could receive the signal and the signal strength was sufficient, the test team drove their cars and began to circle around the salt lake.

The development of the Qarhan Salt Lake began in 1958. At that time, in order to allow China to obtain more potash fertilizers, more than 5,000 enthusiastic young people responded to the call and came here from all over the country, set up camp by the salt lake, and built a potash fertilizer plant.

In the following decades, the potash fertilizer here was continuously transported to all parts of the country.

In 1996, the potash fertilizer plant underwent institutional reform and was reorganized into the Qarhan Salt Lake Industrial Group, which was also under the State-owned Assets Management Office.

By 2002, the continuous production of potassium chloride reached 446,800 tons.

In order to better monitor the salt lake, Salt Lake Industrial Group has set up many level points around the salt lake with clear coordinates.

The goal of the test team is these benchmarks.

With a creak, Yang Huan stepped on the accelerator and parked the Jiefang truck next to a level point.

After opening the door, he did not get out of the car immediately, but reached out and grabbed the portable oxygen bottle placed on the center console.

An oxygen bottle as long as an adult man's arm was hung on his waist, and he connected the oxygen pipe hanging on his clothes. He pulled the mask hanging on his chin and took a breath of oxygen. Then he jumped out of the car and walked to the back of the car.

The co-pilot did the same thing. After hanging up the oxygen tank, he appeared next to Yang Huan.

Open the cargo box of the Jiefang truck, reach out and grab the ladder next to it, put it down, and secure it.

Then he asked the people in the cargo box to get out of the car.

The people inside the cargo box were also dressed the same way, except that their oxygen bottles were hung on their backs.

After all these people got off the bus, Yang Huan grabbed the oxygen bottle and took a sip of oxygen, and then said to everyone:

"Remember this is a plateau, test data, when moving equipment, the range of motion must be light, and don't be too excited."

"Be sure to pay attention to your body at all times. If something goes wrong, stop immediately."

"Understand?"

After the explanation, he was the first to board the truck along the stairs at the edge of the truck box and began to move the equipment inside.

Two 25kg lead-acid batteries, signal antenna, and very crude positioning module.

Move all these to the ground, throw the positioning module above the level point, adjust the level, turn on the power, and turn on the equipment.

The device's screen lights up, and after a brief pause, the device begins to connect to the satellite according to the preset mode.

The signal lights flashed crazily, red.

After blinking for more than ten seconds, the red light turned into green, and the corresponding connection prompt popped up on the device's screen.

[Signal is connected! 】

[Current number of connected satellites: 4! 】

4 satellites!

Seeing this prompt, Yang Huan grabbed the oxygen bottle and took a deep breath of oxygen. He forced his fast-beating heart down to calm himself, and then he squatted in front of the equipment.

While operating the equipment, he shouted in a loud voice:

"Now execute test plan one, everyone is in place..."

…………

Lanling.

Early in the morning, the natives of Lanling discovered a strange thing. Today, there were many more people on the street, many of whom were carrying backpacks with an antenna protruding from the backpack and holding a screen in their hands. .

Seeing these people, the natives were first curious, then understanding, and then surprised.

Those who have mobile phones take out their mobile phones, call the police directly, and then prepare to receive their own money.

If you don’t have a mobile phone, just run to the nearest police station and call the local police station.

However, after receiving the call, the police did not dispatch. Instead, they earnestly advised these people:

"That's a map tester from Rheinsteel, he's really not a spy!"

"Didn't you see that they are all wearing Rheinsteel clothes?"

"What? You think the other party is a spy just because you think he is wearing Rheinsteel's clothes? Because Rheinsteel is the only one in Lanling City who has something to steal? You are going too far!"

On the Yellow River Road, tester Leng Dan was pushing his bicycle, stopping from time to time to take a look at the 14-inch "tablet" placed in the bicycle basket.

The display screen of the "tablet" showed an electronic map, and her current location was the eastern section of Huanghe East Road.

The entire road is about 2.5 kilometers long, and she is right in the middle.

On the gray and white lines representing the road, there is a blue halfling mark.

This halfling mark has been moving with the movement of Leng Dan.

She stopped, and the halfling mark stopped too.

Seeing that she was still on the road and that her position was correct, she pushed the bicycle forward.

As she walked, she found herself on the "tablet" appearing on the mountain next to the road. She stopped and looked at the "tablet" quietly.

Press the green button on the "tablet" with your hand.

As the button is pressed, the "tablet" pops up a prompt on the page: Data is being collected.

After the prompt, there is a simple progress bar.

After the progress bar ran out, Leng Dan found himself back on the Yellow River road.

She looked up at the sky and then at the time. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she pushed the bicycle and ran forward quickly. Then she stepped on the pedal with her left leg, raised her right leg slightly, and crossed the bicycle with her long legs. The whole person sat on it, speeding along the Yellow River road like the wind.

It’s almost dinner time!

Gotta find a place to eat!

As she moved quickly, the blue bust on the "tablet" began to sway left and right, sometimes running to the left side of the road, sometimes running to the right side of the road.

Or just run upstairs to someone else.

Seeing this scene in the "tablet", Leng Dan squeezed the brakes with his fingers, and the bicycle slowly stopped, and then the half-length figure swaying left and right returned to the Yellow River Road obediently.

Sighing, she had no choice but to get off the bicycle and continue pushing the bicycle forward.

But this time, the bust became very stable and kept moving forward silently on the Yellow River Road.

When he came to a crossroads and saw a noodle shop at the crossroads, Leng Dan pushed his bicycle towards the noodle shop without hesitation and shouted to the boss:

"A bowl of noodles! A big bowl! Add two eggs!"

After ordering the meal, she took off the tablet, sat at the dining table by the door, looked at the data recorded on it, took out her mobile phone, and shook the phone back to the satellite center:

"Why does my position start to swing left and right when I ride a bicycle a little faster?"

Upon hearing her inquiry, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then started to curse:

"Are you crazy, Leng? There are four experimental groups. One group walks, one group rides a bicycle, one group rides a motorcycle, and one group drives a car."

"The walking group's test was good, and the cycling group's test was also good."

"Only for groups riding motorcycles and driving cars, when their moving speed exceeds 40 kilometers, the computing power of the equipment cannot keep up due to the mutual movement of satellites and ground targets, causing the positioning points to drift left and right."

"Tell me, you're a cyclist, and you're riding a Phoenix brand bicycle. How come your anchor points are floating randomly?"

The accusation on the phone stunned the woman at the dining table. She grabbed the phone, smiled awkwardly, and said:

"It was downhill just now, and I was too hungry, so I pedaled a little faster."

Just after the explanation was finished, a roar came from the phone:

"Call the finance office and tell them that those guys who ride bicycles at a speed of over 40 kilometers per hour will have all their field subsidies canceled today."

"Cut them all!"

"If you let them out to test data one by one, they will be like monkeys who escaped from prison. They will shake things up!"

When he heard that subsidies were going to be cut, Leng Dan repeatedly begged the person on the phone for mercy:

"Boss, don't go. The subsidies for working in the field are gone and we will starve to death."

Faced with his begging for mercy, the person on the phone became even more angry: "Whether you starve to death or not is none of my business!"

After an angry roar, the phone was hung up.

Satellite R&D center, data building.

Bao Fei put down the phone, raised his hands and rubbed his hair violently, showing a regretful look.

After being crazy for a while, he picked up the documents in front of him, stood up, walked out of the small office, and walked to the small conference room at the end of the corridor.

There is only one oval-shaped long conference table in the small conference room, and there is only one person beside this long conference table.

Shi Ling.

Arriving in front of Shi Ling, Bao Fei bent down and respectfully handed out the document in his hand and said at the same time:

"Mr. Shi, these are today's preliminary test results."

"Due to the number of satellites and the computing power of our signal receiving equipment, when the traveling speed exceeds 40 kilometers, the calculation speed of the receiving equipment will be too slow, resulting in inaccurate positioning."

"But after being in a static state, it will recover as quickly as possible."

"So, my personal suggestion is to strengthen the research and development of signal receiving equipment."
