Chapter 348: Quantum Satellite Network

The console on the ground communicates with the space shuttle.
Simulate the space shuttle's environment and its flight attitude.
On the light curtain of the space base ship, a space shuttle animation made by Xinglan is played.
People can clearly see the images of the space shuttle flying in space and the subtle movements of the satellite deployment.
The space shuttle opened the hatch located on its abdomen and extended three mechanical arms from inside.
Each robotic arm grasps a quantum communication satellite.
After the space shuttle adjusted its posture, the mechanical arm released the quantum satellite.
It directly retracts the robotic arm. Turn the machine head and start to switch tracks. Fly elsewhere.
Seeing this picture, netizens in the virtual space discussed.
Little Taurus: "This operation really surprised me. I thought the space shuttle would have to switch orbits repeatedly.
Deploy quantum communication satellites to different geosynchronous orbits.
Unexpectedly, the space shuttle actually left the satellites alone. "
De Marcia: "The space shuttle ran. What about these satellites? This is in a geosynchronous orbit of 36,000 kilometers.
The revolution period of the satellite around the earth is the same as the autobiographical period of the earth. For us, they have never changed in one position. "
Xu Mingda (professor of Huaxia University of Aeronautics and Astronautics): "I estimate that Xingyu Technology put the satellite into geosynchronous orbit.
One of the satellites remains unchanged, and the other two satellites need their own power to fly to its designated location.
This is a very efficient solution. If the space shuttle is used to release at different positions on the orbit, it is necessary to change the orbit many times.
The time and fuel consumed are very huge. "
While they were talking, the animation changed and four images appeared.
Three small and one big, the big one is that the space shuttle is constantly changing orbits, entering the designated location, and deploying the remaining two satellites.
Three small pictures show the movement of three quantum communication satellites.
The two satellites fired separately and flew to both sides.
In the universe, as long as they give a forward momentum, they will naturally be under the influence of gravity.
Starting to move around the earth, it takes less than a day to reach the designated position.
Even the seemingly stationary satellite actually orbits the earth at high speed, but only at the same time as the earth rotates.
Using the earth as a frame of reference, it is stationary.
Just like the people on earth, the earth is used as the frame of reference. People are still.
In fact, people orbit the sun at high speed with the earth.
The quantum communication satellite stopped at the same place, it opened the solar panel, and officially provided quantum network signals to the earth.
Li Lingqiu approached Zhang Zhi and she said happily: "Brother Zhang, Sister Qu has heard from us. The quantum satellite in the sky has officially started running.
The quantum signal it emits has been received by our company.
As long as the quantum satellite network is successfully established. After debugging, we can log in to the virtual world anywhere in the world. "
After Bai Qing heard it, he looked at Zhang Zhi. Suspiciously asked: "General Zhang, as long as there are three geostationary satellites, quantum communication covers almost the whole world.
I see that you are going to build a quantum satellite network, using five quantum communication satellites, and in which orbits these two are deployed. "
Zhang Zhi looked at Bai Qing, thought about the specific situation of the quantum satellite network, and said with a smile: "Director Bai, we are going to be placed in polar orbit. To enhance the communication capacity of the satellite network."
Bai Qing said in surprise: "Zhang Zhang, you are really generous. In addition to military reconnaissance satellites, land resources exploration satellites, meteorological satellites, and navigation satellites, polar orbits.
Very few other satellites use polar orbits, and you have covered most places with synchronous orbits.
It's not worth it for you to do so. The operating conditions of polar orbit satellites are much more severe than synchronous orbits. "
Li Lingqiu blinked and asked doubtfully: "What is the purpose of a polar orbit satellite, is this better than a synchronous orbit satellite?"
Zhang Zhi explained simply:
Polar orbit is an artificial earth satellite orbit with an inclination of 90 °.
Satellites orbiting in polar orbits can pass any latitude and over the north and south poles within each circle. "
Zhang Zhi went on to say: "Let the two quantum communication satellites run in polar orbits, and it can reach any location in the world through polar orbits.
If there are major communication needs, synchronous orbit satellites cannot meet, or they have unexpected situations, this is an effective supplement to the quantum communication network. "
After listening to Zhang Zhi's words, Li Lingqiu said with a smile: "I understand that it could go to any place in the world.
With this in mind, we should set up polar orbit satellites. It's too flexible. "
Bai Qing gave a thumbs-up, he said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, President Zhang specially arranged two polar orbit satellites for the quantum communication network.
If the quantum communication network is not popular all over the world, that is an accident. "
When they spoke, the space shuttle had already flown to the designated position and adjusted their flight attitude.
Use a mechanical arm to release the two quantum communication satellites one after the other.
Now the space shuttle is parallel to the equator of the earth, from its perspective.
Two quantum communication satellites one upward ~ EbookFREE.me ~ one downward. Fly to the north and south poles respectively.
After the space shuttle retracted the robotic arm, it adjusted its attitude and returned to the earth.
Now it has completed all the tasks that happened this time. Just wait for a safe return, this launch will be completed perfectly.
Zhang Zhi saw the space shuttle coming back for a while. He took Li Lingqiu and Bai Qing to the restaurant.
Tasting tea and eating snacks. Wait for the shuttle to return to the space base ship.
He didn't worry about the space shuttle at all, that is, all the space shuttle's instruments are now ineffective.
It hits the earth like an asteroid, and the space shuttle won't hurt too much.
Zhang Zhi saw Poplov looking for himself with the information. He took the information and said gently: "Mr. Poplov, please sit down and drink some tea."
Poplov sat down, curled his big tongue, and said with joy in Mandarin with a Russian accent: "Zhang Zhang, Xingyu Quantum Communication Company sent us a message.
The five quantum communication satellites we sent were all activated, and control has been transferred to the quantum communication company. "
Li Lingqiu felt that today, more than before, he felt more and more lack of knowledge.
She asked Poplov: "Mr. Poplov, I only entered one satellite into the designated location."
Poplov glanced. He said in crappy Chinese: "There are three satellites in polar orbit. They are always running.
The remaining two quantum communication satellites, the energy they carry is enough for them to start their basic functions.
Now they have started quantum communication services and are debugging while flying. "
Zhang Zhi nodded, just wanted to ask for details.
I heard someone in the restaurant shouting in surprise: "Look, there is something in front of the shuttle that is blocking the road. Can it reach the earth safely?"
