Twenty-five days later, the various partners of the Sky Net project were busy coordinating their work in an orderly manner. The news of the upcoming test launch had spread all over the world. Countless people had their eyes on the launch.
Whether the Sky Net project would succeed or not, whether the legendary sixth-generation mobile communication technology was real or not … Everything would be revealed soon.
At the National Satellite Launch Base, three Sky Star test satellites had been installed on the launch vehicle. According to the calculations, they would be sent to near-Earth orbit and the radiation range would be some cities in northern China.
Although this was a commercial launch and not a national test, the National Television Station still sent a media team to broadcast the launch live.
Whether it was online or on TV, viewers all over the country could see the launch for the first time.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in sight. It was the perfect weather for a rocket launch. Lu Zixin and the others were already waiting in the command room. This launch was the first step of the Sky Net project. Once the test launch was successful, it would mean that it was only a matter of time before the Sky Net project was completed!
"I'm really nervous!" Tang Gang took a deep breath and said, "One launch costs a few hundred million. Including the cost of research and development and the satellite, we can't afford to fail!"
"It will succeed!" Su Zhirong said encouragingly, "The ground base station is ready. We're just waiting for the satellite to launch and send the signal."
Lu Zixin was also a little nervous. He had some confidence in the small satellite's function, but he was afraid that the launch would fail! This kind of thing had a high probability of happening.
At the same time, in the Hongxin Group, tens of thousands of employees were also watching the live broadcast. They were nervous and excited.
"The launch must succeed. The satellite must operate successfully too!" Many people were praying that this would be a historic step for Hongxin. As long as it succeeded, Hongxin would officially rise on the international stage!
"Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, God, everything!"
"Stars of the firmament, you must fly to the firmament!"
"As long as the small satellite operates successfully, I'd rather not eat braised pork for a month!"
…
On the live broadcast platform, the live broadcast of the rocket launch was also very popular. The homepage of the large live broadcast platform was all the same, but it still attracted millions of netizens.
The anchor was introducing, "The rocket will launch in 15 minutes. This time, it will carry three small satellites into low-Earth orbit at once. Once the satellite and the base station are successfully connected, the people in the test area will be able to use the mobile network from the satellite signal! "
"Take note, this is a 6G network! The legendary 6G network with 1TB per second! "
On the bullet screen, the comments kept flooding in. "Amazing, 6G network, then my 1T seed can be finished in a second?"
"The brother in front, let me speak to you!"
"Didn't you say that this plan is impossible? Why are they launching satellites now? "
"I don't want to know anything else. I just want to know if our village can use the 6G network. Damn, we can't even use the 4G network in our village! "
"Let's wait and see. Let's hope that the Firmament Star can operate successfully and show the other countries that our country's technology is not bad either!"
"Hurry up and launch. I haven't eaten yet. I've been waiting for a long time!"
…
In China, many senior executives of large technology companies were also waiting in front of the live broadcast, waiting for the results.
China's three major telecommunications companies, Hua Wei, Da Mi, Tencent, Keli, Baidu, VI, OP … all the companies involved in the high-tech industry were paying close attention. A large number of financial institutions were also paying close attention.
On the whole, if Hongxin could operate the 6G network, it would have a positive effect on China's overall economic market. Most people wanted to see it succeed.
However, foreign entrepreneurs did not think so. America's telecommunications companies, the Federal Communications Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and even the White House were all paying close attention to this matter.
"The Chinese will definitely fail. God will not bless them!" Some people were cursing in their hearts. For example, Tyler Walker. His main asset was the shares of America's Qualcomm. Once Hongxin succeeded, Qualcomm's share price would definitely plummet.
Wall Street's capitalists also paused their activities to pay close attention to this matter.
Japan, Korea, the European Union, Russia … no one dared to ignore this matter!
Beijing, Shanghai. Hongxin had set up a total of 30 signal testing points in these two major Chinese cities.
At every signal testing point, there were people carrying detection equipment, waiting for the signal to connect to the test satellite.
These test takers were also waiting anxiously. They were not sure if they would be able to detect the satellite's signal a few hours later.
Time was ticking down, and it was less than a minute before the scheduled launch.
In the rocket launch base, everyone was nervous. The next step was to send the satellite into space!
"Everything is normal. We can launch now! Countdown starts now. Ten, nine … "
The commander shouted the command loudly. His voice echoed throughout the entire base through the sound transmission equipment. It could be heard clearly on the television as well.
"Three, two, one. Ignite!" Following the commander's order, the rocket was on fire.
The rocket roared and soared into the sky, straight into the clouds!
"It's launched!"
"It's in space!"
"Charge!"
"Ah!" Many people screamed at the same time, but the people in the command room did not relax. This was only the beginning. The most important thing was that there could not be any accidents in the following process. They had to send the satellite to the predetermined orbit and connect the signal successfully!
In the command room, everyone tried to stay calm, and even deliberately slowed down their breathing. The successful launch would take more than 10 minutes.
The satellite's predetermined orbit was not high. It was in a low-Earth orbit, so the process would be very short.
Lu Zixin looked at the screen. The rocket rushed out of the atmosphere. Fortunately, the Aerospace Technology Company's commercial rocket technology was more mature, so there were no accidents. All the feedback data was normal.
The first test satellite, the Firmament Star, was sent to the predetermined orbit. It started to self-activate and adjust its orbit.
Then came the second and third. This series of processes was very fast and did not require much time. The orbit of the small satellite was much lower than the orbit of a normal satellite. When the third test satellite was sent to the predetermined orbit, the rocket had completed its mission and started to depart.
In the command room, the Aerospace Technology Company's employees cheered. To them, their mission was complete.
However, to the people in Hongxin, this was just the beginning. The next step was to adjust the satellite's orbit and test the signal. This was the most important thing!
In the ground signal base station, Hongxin's employees were connecting to the Firmament Star test satellite and adjusting the satellite's orbit.
