Global monopoly of technology

The next day.

Just as Luo Sheng came to Star Arrow International for work today, Zheng Tao found him.

"Mr. Luo, the news you brought to me yesterday has been read. Regarding the solution of laser processing space junk, our internal team has actually focused on research and discussion. The technical aspect is not a problem. It is the reasons for other problems that led us to decide. This solution is hesitant."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shengyan said concisely: "The'other' reason you mentioned refers to political issues, right?"

Zheng Tao nodded: "Yes. Although the orbital laser station is specially designed for cleaning up, the question of whether it may be used as a space weapon will definitely be an extremely sensitive topic for countries in the world, especially the West."

This is an unavoidable problem. You are indeed designed to clean up space junk, but the old beauty may not believe it, and in a sense, the laser station deployed on orbit can be urgently requisitioned in wartime, and Can quickly adjust to become a laser weapon to strike a satellite in orbit.

Zheng Tao added: "If this plan is to be smoothly advanced to the practical application level, international organizations such as the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space must be coordinated and communicated, and countries must reach a framework agreement. The establishment of a mutual trust mechanism to enable peaceful disposal of space debris is a stumbling block."

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "Well, the consideration is quite comprehensive, but I have to worry about it. Not only lasers, but all spacecraft that can clean up space junk are capable of attacking the normal working satellites of other countries, otherwise you Think that the major aerospace powers are now investing heavily in the disposal of space junk? Isn’t it wonderful to develop orbital high-altitude weapons in the name of cleaning up space junk?”

"Uh..." When Zheng Tao heard that he thought he was on the fifth floor, he realized that he was on the third floor. He was sloppy, and his political consciousness still needs to be improved.

It’s no wonder that since ten years ago, the world’s major aerospace powers have shown great enthusiasm for the cleanup of space junk, including the Remove-Debris project of the University of Surrey, which has now established cooperation with Star Arrow International, and some space projects in North America. Garbage disposal project.

It also includes an active space debris clearance vehicle code-named "Aolong One" launched five years ago in China.

Space junk orbits the earth. It stands to reason that someone actively participates in the cleanup of space junk. It is an eager thing to take the initiative to clean up the space junk. If one person manages it, everyone's threat can be eliminated. Why not?

But this is not the case. The world's major aerospace powers do not mean to "take advantage", but are all engaged in their own space garbage disposal programs.

The answer is obvious, because it has the attributes of space weapons.

If you don't, the satellites you launch in the future may really become rubbish.

Luo Sheng: "This problem doesn't need to be entangled too much. On the contrary, it is more important to advance because of the weapon's attributes. Anyway, it's all being done, even if it is a technical reserve.

Zheng Tao: "Understood, I will make arrangements."

Luo Sheng's view on this issue is exactly the opposite. Zheng Tao and the others think it is a difficult thing to do, but Luo Sheng thinks it is a good thing. Anyway, it can't stop everyone from competing in order to check and balance each other.

The result of the competition is predictable, and all parties will push up the cost. In the long run, it will become less and less cost-effective and become civilian.

So Star Arrow International needs to spend a lot of money to clean up the space junk for the safety of the ladder to avoid the threat of space junk. This is no way. The old United States can completely ignore it. Anyway, the ladder belongs to the Chinese. And the greatest risk.

However, with the competition, there are more organizations that can provide space garbage disposal solutions, which gives Star Arrow International the ability to shop around and obtain international pricing power.

The treatment plan of the orbital laser station is definitely to be promoted. It has an irreplaceable position in the future space waste treatment, and it will eventually become the mainstream, only waiting for continuous development of technology.

However, for the time being, the use of "Aolong One" or the University of Surrey's Remove-Debris project, which actively captures space junk and takes it off orbit, is a relatively mature method of space junk disposal.

In the process of removal, the spacecraft that cleans up space junk first adjusts its orbit according to the data monitoring of space junk by ground facilities, approaching a position several kilometers away from the target, and then uses its own detection equipment such as lidar and infrared cameras to confirm the target. State, further approach to a place tens of meters from the target.

Before proceeding to the space junk, it is necessary to use optical cameras and other equipment to patrol the target, confirm the capture point, and then approach to capture the space junk.

After that, the spacecraft that cleaned up space junk will be moored into the atmosphere and burned to complete the cleanup.

...

Five days later, the University of Science and Technology.

Wang Chen is cleaning room 606 in the dormitory building on campus. The school has approved this house for him to use and said some words of encouragement.

"Oh Ma, it's finally done!"

At this moment, Wang Chen was also out of breath. As a rural family, he was not afraid of hardship. He took care of the entire dormitory alone. From the beginning of the mess to the cleanliness now.

It is worth mentioning that he did not first ask his classmates to help organize the work. He has already listed the team list of Chenxi Studio. Then he will talk to them about joining the studio.

But now I would rather be a little tired.

Obviously, this is an act of wisdom. After you organize it and recruit people in, they will think that you are reliable, and the probability of being willing to stay will greatly increase.

This is like some entrepreneurs. The company is sloppy and lacks almost everything, but it must have a handy car and a neat suit.

In this way, when meeting customers for business negotiations, the customers also think you are reliable. On the contrary, if you drive a broken car and wear a crotch to discuss cooperation with the customer, no matter how you look at it, the customer feels that cooperation with it is not practical.

The facade is really important.

...

The next day, Wang Chen went to the market to purchase some office furniture and office equipment. These were all purchased in the second-hand market, which could save a lot of money, especially IT equipment, mainly computers, which are more expensive. Goods, but it’s new and not too old. Buy it and assemble it yourself.

As for the relatively cheap office supplies such as file management and desktop supplies, just buy new ones directly.

Finally, pull a network cable in.

It took Wang Chen two more days to get all of this, and it took nearly ten days to set up the "small nest" of Chenxi Studio.

These are all Wang Chen paid for himself first, which cost about 30,000 yuan, half of his current wealth.

In fact, Wang Chen doesn't have absolute confidence in whether the declaration of Star Arrow International will pass the review and whether it can get the financing, but he still has to do what he has to do. This risk must be taken.

Wang Chen also thought very clearly. Even if all the more than 60,000 yuan in his hand was paid in, it would still be the same, even if it was not paid in, it would still be the same. A small amount of 60,000 yuan would not change any destiny. May change the fate of a lifetime.

Wang Chen, who wanted to understand this, of course had no worries, and he was done.

"This is where the dream begins!"

Wang Chen looked around the neat and clean room. Although he was tired, he was extremely happy, and his combat effectiveness was extremely impressive.

At this moment, the AzureBook laptop that just connected to the network suddenly popped up a message prompt, and the small window in the lower right corner showed that the personal mail account had received a new email.

"A reply from Star Arrow International?"

When Wang Chen saw the mailing list, his heartbeat could not help speeding up, and he felt like a lottery lottery was drawn inexplicably.

He didn't expect to come so quickly, he thought he would have to wait more than half a month before he could get news.

After a few seconds, Wang Chen calmed down and clicked on the email.
