Chapter 331 Leaders Want to Inspect
However, Li Yang is not satisfied with this. He knows that the real challenge is still ahead.
One day, he called the team together and said seriously: "Comrades, our next challenge is a more difficult satellite technology - high-resolution earth observation."
The conference room suddenly became quiet and everyone held their breath.
They all know that high-resolution Earth observation satellites are one of the most advanced satellite technologies in the world today, and both countries have invested a lot of resources in this area.
Li Yang continued: "We are going to develop a new type of optical remote sensing system with a resolution of sub-meter level. This means that our satellites will be able to see the details on the ground from space, which is of great significance to our national defense and economic development."
An old engineer couldn't help asking: "Mr. Li, isn't this too difficult? Our technical foundation..."
Li Yang interrupted him and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "Comrades, I know this is difficult, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Remember, we must not only catch up with others, but also surpass them!"
His words flowed into everyone's heart like a warm current. Comrades in the institute stood up one after another, with determination shining in their eyes.
"Mr. Li, we will definitely do our best!"
"For the sake of our country's space industry, we are willing to give everything!"
Looking at this group of high-spirited comrades in front of him, Li Yang's heart was filled with pride and emotion.
He knew that with these loyal and capable comrades, plus the knowledge he brought from the future, Yan Country's satellite technology would surely catch up with the world's advanced level.
At this moment, a young assistant rushed in with an undisguised excitement on his face: "Engineer Li, good news! Our superiors have learned about our research progress and attach great importance to it. They have decided to come and inspect our work in person!"
Li Yang frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew that this inspection was crucial to the advancement of the entire satellite project. If they could get full support from their superiors, their work would be much more effective.
"Okay, I understand," Li Yang said calmly, "Call the heads of all departments immediately. We must be fully prepared."
The assistant nodded and quickly turned away. Li Yang took a deep breath and looked into the distance again. He knew that the days ahead would be even busier, but he was looking forward to it. Because he knew that every bit of effort would pave a path to the stars and the sea for Yan's aerospace industry.
As night fell, the entire institute was still brightly lit. Li Yang stood in the makeshift command center, gathered with a group of engineers, and discussed the upcoming inspection.
"We need to show our leaders our determination and ability," Li Yang told the group. "We need to not only showcase our technological innovation, but also let them feel the importance of developing satellite technology to our country."
The engineers nodded one after another, their faces full of determination. They knew that this was not just an ordinary inspection, but also an opportunity to demonstrate the technological strength of Yan Country.
At this moment, a young engineer suddenly asked a question: "Mr. Li, many of our equipment are still in the drawing stage. What if the leader wants to see the real thing?"
Li Yang smiled slightly, with a sly gleam in his eyes: "Don't worry, I have thought of a way."
He turned to several key engineers around him and whispered, "We worked overnight to make models and demonstration systems of some key components. Although they are not real products, they are enough to demonstrate our technical level and innovation capabilities."
The engineers' eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement. Li Yang's idea not only solved the problem of physical display, but also fully demonstrated their technical strength.
"Okay, let's get started now," Li Yang clapped his hands, his voice firm and passionate, "We will be divided into several groups, each responsible for the demonstration of a key technology. Remember, we only have one night, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, there is nothing we can't do."
As Li Yang finished speaking, the entire command center was instantly in an uproar. The engineers quickly divided into several groups and began to work intensively.
Li Yang first came to the team responsible for satellite platform technology. He took out a small notebook from his pocket, quickly turned to one of the pages, and began to explain the core technology of the new solar cell array to the engineers.
"The key to this multi-junction solar cell lies in the selection of materials and the design of the structure," Li Yang explained as he drew a picture. "We need to show the layered structure of different materials and the working principle of the concentrating system on the model."
The engineers carefully took notes and nodded to show their understanding. Li Yang continued, "In addition, we also need to make a demonstration model of the attitude control system. We want to show the leaders how our satellite can remain stable in space and adjust its direction at any time."
Next, Li Yang came to the team responsible for payload technology, whose work was more complicated because they needed to produce models of high-resolution optical cameras and synthetic aperture radars in a short period of time.
"The key to an optical camera is its imaging principle," Li Yang explained while looking at the design drawings. "We need to show how it can clearly capture details on the ground from hundreds of kilometers away in space."
Li Yang stood in front of a workbench full of drawings and parts, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that the next few hours would determine the fate of the entire satellite project.
"Comrades," Li Yang said loudly, "our mission is arduous but glorious. We are going to condense the satellite technology of the next decade into this room overnight. Let's get started!"
First, Li Yang led the optical system team to start making a model of a high-resolution camera. He picked up a pencil and quickly sketched a complex optical structure on the drawing.
"Look here," Li Yang said, pointing to the blueprint. "This is our multispectral imaging system. It includes three bands: visible light, near infrared, and short-wave infrared. We are going to make a cross-sectional model using a transparent acrylic sheet to show how light passes through different filters and detectors."
Young optical engineer Wang Ming's eyes lit up. "Mr. Li, I understand. We can use LEDs of different colors to simulate light of different wavelengths, so that we can intuitively demonstrate the principle of multispectral imaging!"
Li Yang nodded approvingly. "Yes, that's the idea. Also, don't forget to demonstrate our 'super vision' - full-color imaging capability with a resolution of 0.5 meters. We can prepare some comparison pictures to let the leaders intuitively feel what this means."
Then, Li Yang turned to the team responsible for the satellite platform. He picked up a thin piece of metal with a flash of excitement in his eyes, "This is our latest silicon carbide mirror material. It is not only lightweight, but also has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and can remain stable in the extreme environment of space. We are going to make a small demonstration device to show its stability at different temperatures."
Satellite structure expert Zhang Hua said thoughtfully, "Engineer Li, we can use infrared thermal imagers to show the temperature changes of materials during heating and cooling in real time. This will better highlight our technological advantages."
Li Yang patted Zhang Hua on the shoulder and said, "Good idea! Let's do it. Remember, we should not only show the results, but also let the leaders understand our innovative ideas."
It was late at night, but the lights were still on in the institute. Li Yang came to the team responsible for the satellite attitude control system. They were debugging a delicate gyroscope model.
"This new fiber optic gyroscope is a major breakthrough for us," Li Yang explained. "Its accuracy is an order of magnitude higher than that of traditional mechanical gyroscopes, and it is also lighter and more durable. We are going to do a comparative experiment so that the leaders can see its superiority with their own eyes."
Li Mei, an attitude control expert, asked a question, "Mr. Li, the working principle of the fiber optic gyroscope is relatively abstract. How can we make it understandable to non-professionals?"
Li Yang thought about it for a while, and then his eyes lit up. "I have an idea. We can make a simplified optical path model and use lasers to demonstrate the Sagnac effect. Then, with computer simulation, we can show how it can accurately measure the attitude changes of satellites."
The team members nodded one after another, impressed by Li Yang's creativity. They immediately began to prepare materials and worked against the clock.
Next, Li Yang came to the propulsion system team, where they were assembling a demonstration model of an ion thruster.
"This ion thruster is key to the maneuverability of our satellite," Li Yang said. "It is nearly ten times more efficient than chemical thrusters and can greatly extend the life of the satellite. We will build a vacuum chamber demonstration to show the ion beam generation process."
Liu Qiang, a propulsion system engineer, was a little worried. "Engineer Li, the thrust of the ion thruster is very small, so it may not be easy to demonstrate the effect..."
Li Yang smiled and said, "This is exactly the point we want to emphasize. We can prepare a precision balance to display the thrust changes in real time. Combined with an animation demonstration of orbital maneuvers, we can help leaders understand the huge effect of tiny thrust over a long period of time."
Liu Qiang suddenly realized, "I understand! We can also prepare some data, such as how this system can extend the life of our satellite from 3 years to more than 10 years."
Li Yang nodded, "That's right. We need to make the leaders understand that this is not just a technological advancement, but also a qualitative leap."
It was late at night, but no one felt tired. Everyone was immersed in intense and fulfilling work, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
Li Yang came to the communication system team. They were debugging a Ka-band high-throughput communication system model.
"This system is key to our ability to achieve global communications," Li Yang explained. "It can transmit data 100 times faster than existing systems. We are going to do a real-time demonstration to show how it can handle hundreds or thousands of communication channels simultaneously."
Communications expert Wang Li asked, "Engineer Li, the Ka band is easily affected by weather. How can we solve this problem?"
Li Yang smiled and said, "Good question! We are developing an adaptive beamforming technology. It can adjust the signal strength and direction in real time according to meteorological conditions. We can do a demonstration of simulated rainfall to show how the system can automatically adjust to maintain communication quality."
