Chapter 742: Hundred Times Return

Secretary Huang, the Ministry of Aviation and Technology and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission have been away for a long time, and the two sides have barely reached an intentional cooperation framework for the aerospace program.

The investment in the entire project of the digital transmission agricultural census satellite and the Tianchain system is a very amazing number. Although the country can take out this money, the aerospace system will undoubtedly occupy a considerable budget in the next few years, so that other projects will inevitably be affected.

If you want to avoid much impact in the field of aerospace development, you need to introduce other sources of funds and find ways to transform the results of the aerospace system into market.

Speaking of market transformation, it is obvious that there is no more reliable authority in China than Hu Wenhai.

After some "negotiation" in the reception room, the Aerospace System and Secretary Huang and others left in their hearts with no trepidation or admiration. Regarding the problem of market transformation, the solution proposed by Hu Wenhai is really unique.

Taking the satellite images obtained from the agricultural census satellite as an example, as for the normal idea of ​​this thing, except for military purposes and government decision-making support, there seems to be no possibility of being converted into civilians on the market, right?

The plan Hu Wenhai gave about this was shocking.

Who said that marketization is to convert civilians? Don’t just focus on the one-acre and three-point land in China. The whole world is full of plans. How many countries can operate satellites and go to the sky? How many countries can be extravagant to update their satellite image library every few days?

In most countries, it is not that they do not need satellite data, but that they cannot afford it!

In the application field of satellite imagery, in addition to military uses, government public areas such as land and resources exploration, environmental monitoring and protection, urban planning, crop yield estimation, disaster prevention and mitigation are actually in great demand.

But for the governments of most countries, it is really unprofitable to climb the aerospace science and technology tree for the sake of these ground projects to replace them.

But what if China's aerospace system can make this market? For satellite images, the cost of satellites is almost sunk costs, and someone can make a profit if you buy data. No one can buy data, and the satellites in the sky will not be able to install a few less batteries because of this...

In this case, providing satellite image services to governments in other countries can afford them, and selling them is just a waste of money. Compared with the expensive data obtained by surveying and mapping on the ground, the price of satellite images can be completely stuck at a level that everyone is very satisfied with.

Moreover, this business can not only be done once, but it is not impossible to sell a piece of data twice, three times, or even a few more times.

Secretary Huang and others were very surprised by this. How can this satellite image be sold in addition to the demands of various countries for their own local areas?

Hu Wenhai sneered at this, turned around and asked back.

Will the Soviet Union need satellite images of the United States? Will the Americans buy satellite images of the Soviet Union? Well, even if the United States and the Soviet Union do not lack this resource, they will never lack hot spots in the international community.

For example, satellite images of Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Libya and Iraq, do you want to buy Israel? Do you have any demand for satellite images of Israel? Conversely, does the above-mentioned countries buy images of specific regions of Israel? Does Israel want to know if the above-mentioned countries buy images of Israel in specific regions? Just the images of the Middle East, it is not surprising that they sell them four or five times!

Next, if there is another Cabernet War or Gulf War in the world, will the warring parties have no demand for satellite images? The British must want Argentina images? If Argentina does not want its own satellite images to leak, then spend a lot of money to buy out the data we have. This price is definitely more than the normal data transaction price.

If there is another Gulf War, the Americans do not want to deploy and leak themselves and want to block China's mouth, what price will they have to pay?

Hu Wenhai didn't say it, but it was obvious that this business would be very profitable in the future. The British are over, and the Second Cavaliers War may be nowhere to be achieved. However, it was just the right time for the Americans to bomb the Confederacy, and it may not be impossible to quarrel hard at that time.

Even countries like Israel might as well provide a data preservation package? After you buy it, we guarantee that we will not provide satellite images of the region to any third party. How much does this package cost appropriate?

Basically, the satellite pictures of other countries are "hostages" in the hands of satellite data service companies. Otherwise, the way to make money is written in the criminal law. If ordinary people want to do this, they can only sit in the prison. If the country does this kind of thing, they will immediately become taller.

His remarks made Secretary Huang and a group of technical officials really subvert their views. In general, it is not that everyone does not have this imagination, but that the lower limit of moral integrity has not been so low just a few years after the reform and opening up.

Mr. Hu demonstrated in practice what "capitalists' integrity" is.

As for applying GPS positioning technology to cars, mobile phones, or even bicycles? For the last idea, no matter how much you trust Hu Wenhai, everyone present at that time said that it was unimaginable.

No one takes the aerospace system as a market that Hu Wenhai claims is one thing. Director Qian and Secretary Huang have been boasting about Haikou and simply give up the "a hundred billion dollar" market to Xinke Group. As for the aerospace system, it just accepts his idea of ​​"satellite data service company" with a smile.

After dividing their respective territories in this way, Hu Wenhai and Secretary Huang agreed that in the next ten years, by the 21st century, the aerospace system will launch at least three sky chain satellites to achieve a Beidou satellite network covering the entire East Asia. By 2010, the second phase of the project will launch forty Beidou satellites in the mid-level orbit of the earth, expanding the coverage to the world, and increasing the navigation longitude to an error level of ten meters.

Originally, Hu Wenhai made a request that he hoped to launch three sky chain satellites within two years. However, after Director Qian of the Aviation Industry Department was busy with popular science, he realized that this was basically an impossible task. No matter how quickly he rushed, he would not even think of going to the sky in the first three years. This is a geosynchronous orbit satellite, and it is not a job that can be done by drawing out the paint.

Besides, it is not that easy to develop a positioning system. Algorithms, encryption, and atomic clocks with sufficient accuracy all need to be developed from scratch. Moreover, after calculations by Director Qian and others, the three sky chain satellites are not enough to form a global network, and can only meet the needs of China's local networking.

Facts have proved that Hu Wenhai is not omnipotent, and there are always some problems that he will make mistakes of taking it for granted. However, unlike those leaders who make decisions, Hu always has one thing, that is, he will never ignore scientific laws for the sake of face when making stupid things. When he realizes his mistakes, he immediately makes adjustments and willingly admits his mistakes.

The budget for the three Tianlian satellites and the Beidou system's technological development should be 5 billion yuan. Xinke Group pays 300 million yuan to the aerospace system every year, and obtains the civilian positioning chip production authorization of Tianlian satellite at a total price of 3 billion yuan in ten years.

The two sides reached an agreement, and Hu Wenhai sent away the satisfied Secretary Huang and his group.

When everyone was gone, Hu Wenhai turned around and grabbed the phone, and called Ni Guangnan, the director of the New Academy of Sciences Electronics Research Institute.

He took two deep breaths before confirming to Ni Guangnan with some trembling that Xinke Optoelectronics National Laboratory had indeed received approval.

On the phone, Ni Guangnan's voice could not hide his excitement, but he still gave Hu Wenhai a vaccination: "The situation is not that exaggerated. Changchun and Xi'an Optical and Mechanical Institute were not given to us, but just as joint support units. The same is true for Jiangguang General Factory. We can use their technical strength, but we cannot manage them in depth."

"I understand!" Hu Wenhai laughed and interrupted Ni Guangnan's explanation: "What is the status of the two optical machines in China? And give the new scientists, so you should come out of the est!"

OK, this is all out of the way. The pilgin demon city is coming!

"It is enough to mobilize the technical strength of the two optical machinery institutes and Jiangguang General Factory. I don't think I need to talk about the next generation of lithography machines and measurement gratings. The sub-pixel surface array ccd technology is definitely a key project, and I am not worried about this."

Hu Wenhai held the phone and turned around excitedly in the office. After thinking about it, he suppressed the thumping heartbeat in his chest, and then said.

"You must know this situation in the country to develop optical remote sensing satellites. CCCD and measurement gratings are of course the most important technology, and the optoelectronics laboratory should do its best to research. However, the energy of the Electronics Research Institute should not be focused on this. I have a new project, and you need to come up with results as soon as possible."

"Oh, Mr. Hu, you said."

The sound of Ni Guangnan turning paper and pens came from the phone. Hu Wenhai said in a deep voice: "These are two compression algorithms. The first is an image algorithm based on dct transformation, which uses stroke length encoding and Hoffman encoding for compression. The second is a file compression algorithm, which uses variable large dictionary technology to achieve a compression ratio of 30% to 70% of the image file."

"Is this to be applied to optical remote sensing satellites?" Ni Guangnan soon realized the purpose of Hu Wenhai's development of these two technologies.

"Yes, after compressing satellite images, the transmission pressure can be reduced to one-fifth or even one-tenth of the source file. However, this is not the ultimate goal. After mastering the image compression technology, the Electronics Research Institute will continue to promote it. Our goal is video compression technology and video decoding chips developed based on this technology."

It is said that every penny invested in aerospace technology can bring a hundred times the return. Hu Wenhai didn't know about other projects, but every penny invested in the technological development of this "Agricultural Census Satellite" project is obviously more than a hundred times the return.

Not to mention the digital camera developed by ccd technology, I don’t know how big the market prospects of image compression technology will be. VCD decoding chips, future DVD videos, and Blu-ray encoding standards should be considered a market he ignored before.

Hu Wenhai has too many things to pay attention to, so he remembers the video encoding at this time. Whether it is vcd, DVD, or Blu-ray, these technologies are not too difficult for him. In the final analysis, they are all problems with semiconductor laser materials.

VCD is 780 nanometer wavelength, DVD is 650 nanometer wavelength, and blue light is 405 nanometer wavelength. These semiconductor lasers will have a wide range of applications in the future. Optical storage, optical communication, optical gyroscopes and optical printing will all have demand for semiconductor lasers, and even have a large number of applications in lithography machines.

For example, the gallium arsenide-gallium arsenic distribution feedback laser used by Blu-ray semiconductor laser, as long as the processing process keeps up, Hu Wenhai will not have any pressure on this technology. On the contrary, Suotaotian has made huge investment in Blu-ray technology, the future audio and video market and CD storage market may only be a situation of giving away each other.

No, or it should be said that Suotaotian has no possibility of sticking to the Blu-ray technology stage in the field of CD storage.

Digital cameras, vcd players, optical discs, image compression and video compression, as well as file compression, optical communication. Compared with the cost, the market and profit of these technologies invested in optical satellites have far exceeded the imagination of the Aviation Industry Department.

With the support of the technical strength of the two optical machinery institutes, not only is the continuous lithography machine technology of Xinke able to be continued, but also means that a new market that has not been discovered has opened its arms to Hu Wenhai.

Investment in aerospace technology is the real profit.

After arranging the technical development matters, Hu Wenhai was about to hang up the phone. Ni Guangnan suddenly hesitated and called him.

"Mr. Hu, are you in the Magic City? Secretary Niu has encountered something recently. If it is convenient, you can call him."

Hu Wenhai was slightly stunned and said, "I understand."

Then he hung up the phone.

The old governor of Bohai Province has taken a step forward this year. Niu Jinbao did not serve in the Netherlands as his historical trajectory, but instead replaced Secretary Quan to become the top leader of Bohai Province.

He was looking for Hu Wenhai, but Hu Wenhai knew it well. He had been hesitant recently whether to make this call.

The national technical census proposed by Hu Wenhai is underway, and its power has gradually emerged.

In fact, it is not only Hu Wenhai who is hesitating, but I am afraid that the entire leadership is facing these problems now, and they are also a little bit irritated.

If the national economic census is to rectify the source and lay a solid foundation for the rise of reform and opening up.

Then the technical census is to climb high and look into the distance, which determines how far China can go and what height it will reach in the future.

But if the eagle wants to spread its wings and fly high in the future, it must first have the courage to smash the eggshell...
