Silicon Valley

The matter of the Global Special Forces Contest is handled by Secretary of Defense Sean. If nothing happens during this period, the Williams Empire will definitely win the championship.

As far as Henry knows, the United States, RB and other countries are secretly developing cyborgs. Henry is not yet clear about the specific situation. However, Henry is not afraid, as biochemicals are like that, at most they are humans modified by chemistry, biology or machines. In fact, in this regard, the Williams Empire has also done a lot of research.

At 9:00 a.m. on February 10, 2009, Diego time, the world-renowned spaceX company successfully launched the world's first quantum communication satellite, which caused a huge sensation in the industry. Henry is also very concerned about this matter, because the success of the quantum communication satellite is of great significance!

Quantum is very mysterious and magical. It has two unique skills, one is "separation technique" and "remote telepathy". Don't underestimate these two skills. You must know that the most powerful quantum computer and the safest quantum communication depend on them. The scientific name of quantum "separation technique" is quantum superposition, which means that one quantum can exist in several states at the same time. However, our current computer is implemented in binary, represented by 0 and 1, which means that the state is only 0 and 1. Theoretically speaking, it takes 150,000 years to decompose a 300-digit number with the current computer, but it can be calculated in only one second if the quantum "separation technique" is used for parallel computing. However, there is still a long way to go to develop a quantum computer!

And another quantum stunt "remote telepathy", the scientific name is quantum entanglement. That is, if two similar quantum distances are close enough, entanglement will occur, and then no matter how far you separate them, the state of the two quantum is like a pair of twins with telepathy, one is happy, and the other is also laughing , One cried, the other must also be sad. Using this characteristic of quantum entanglement, fast communication can be realized, and the speed of this communication is almost the speed of light! Therefore, in the future, to achieve fast communication between the solar system and even the Milky Way, and to establish the Milky Way Internet, quantum communication technology must be used! ! !

In addition, quantum has two quirks: indivisible and non-clonable. Using the two quirks of quantum, the most secure secret key can be made, which can make the current information transmission more secure!

At present, the quantum communication satellites launched by spaceX mainly use the three characteristics of quantum superposition, indivisibility, and non-cloning to achieve fast communication and information security.

At this moment, Henry came to the headquarters of spaceX. After watching the satellite launch, Henry consulted the CEO of the company for some information, and then said: "Dr. Dickbart, the United States has GPS, Russia has the GLONASS satellite navigation system, China has the Beidou satellite navigation system, and Europe has the Galileo satellite navigation system." Positioning system. Now that the quantum communication satellite machine has been successful, it is time for Williams Empire to establish its own global positioning system and communication network!!!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Henry nodded and said: "This matter is imminent. The Williams Empire has slowed down other countries for some time. I hope that SpaceX will manufacture a large number of quantum communication satellites in the next period of time. Oh, yes, Dr. Dick Butter , how many quantum communication satellites do you estimate will be needed to build a complete global positioning system?"

"It depends on your Majesty's choice, whether to choose 3 orbital planes or 6 orbital planes. Among the four major navigation systems, only the US GPS has chosen 6 orbital planes, and Russia, China, and Europe have chosen 3 orbital planes." On the other hand, the number of satellites launched by the four are 24, 24, 35, and 27 respectively.

In theory, choosing 6 orbital planes, 21 working satellites + 3 backup satellites is enough to ensure positioning anywhere on the earth at any time, but in actual operation, the number of GPS satellites is always more than 24, many At that time, there were 32 satellites in the sky. The reason why the number of satellites has increased is to improve accuracy and integrity.

Therefore, when designing China's Beidou and European Galileo, in order to improve accuracy and integrity, three orbital planes were selected, that is, a constellation design of 27 working satellites + 3 backup satellites. Moreover, Beidou has added 5 additional satellites to improve the performance in the Asia-Pacific region.

To sum up, if Williams Empire wants to build its own satellite positioning system, I recommend choosing 3 orbital planes! "

Henry nodded. Based on this calculation, at least 27 working satellites + 3 backup satellites must be launched.

"Very well, then do as you say!"

Henry paused and asked, "Dr. Dickbart, can the GPS be built within two years?"

Dr. Dickbart thought for a while, and then replied: "It should be no problem, as long as the spaceX factory is slightly modified, two quantum communication satellites can be produced in a month!"

"Ok!"

Henry nodded in satisfaction, took a sip from the water glass on the table, and then asked another question: "How is the construction of the spaceX spaceport going?"

"Your Majesty, the design shape of the spaceX spaceport is a barrel-shaped pentagonal hub, and the staff on the spaceport are used to calling it the 'hub port'. The central area of ​​the hub port is the business center, entertainment center and experiment center. There are five large lanes outside the central area connecting the spaceship parking area. The spaceship parking area is the outermost layer of the space port and is also the largest area. Spaceships coming and going from various places will trade goods here, replenish energy, maintain machines, etc. Currently However, the construction progress of the hub port is only in the central area, with a diameter of about 345 meters. But according to the design, the diameter of the central area is at least 1,000 meters.”

Henry frowned and asked: "Can you speed up the construction? I think the construction speed of the space port is still a bit slow!"

"Your Majesty, we have spent 101.5 billion dollars to build the space port! And in order to build the space port as soon as possible, we have used spaceX's resources as much as possible..."

When Henry heard this, his heart was bleeding, it cost so much money to build such a big spaceport!

"However," Dr. Dickbart added: "With the development and improvement of technology, SpaceX's rocket recovery technology has made a huge breakthrough. Now the Falcon rocket can be used repeatedly about 25 times. If you pay attention to maintenance and If it is repaired, the lifespan will be longer! If Your Majesty still wants to speed up the construction of the spaceport, then we can also ask other rocket companies to launch rockets and carry a large amount of spaceport construction materials for us. In addition, we can also recycle them at a low price after launch rockets, disassembled and used to build ports..."

"It's fine to ask other rocket companies to launch rockets, but you can buy rockets after launch at a low price!" Henry said while tapping the table with one hand, thinking about things.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Sahara Desert is undergoing transformation. I plan to let spaceX build a 20 million square meter super factory there to manufacture large quantities of rockets, satellites and spacecraft!!!"

"Your Majesty, are you talking about 20 million square meters?!" Dr. Dickbart thought he had heard wrong, and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's right, it's 20 million square meters!" Henry said with a smile, "Anyway, the place is deserted, and after the desert environment is successfully transformed, it can be used to build factories!"

Dr. Dickbart couldn't help but took a deep breath, convinced that he heard correctly this time. A factory of 20 million square meters is really too big, and Dr. Dickbart can no longer imagine it...

However, 20 million square meters is 20 square kilometers, which is actually nothing to Henry. The desert area he bought is 5 million square kilometers, and he is confident that the whole of Africa will be his own in the future! What's more, in the previous life, the Tesla battery factory, the world's largest factory, covered an area of ​​13.6 million square meters. It is not too exaggerated to ask spaceX to build a 20 million square meter factory!

At this moment, Henry was thinking that even if the desert was successfully transformed, it would probably be uninhabited in a short period of time, and it would simply be used to build various large factories, and then use the factories to drive the surrounding economy. Therefore, Henry will not just build a spaceX super factory, and there will be a Tesla super factory, an alpha super factory, a gene umbrella super factory, etc., and the area of ​​each super factory will not be less than 10 million square meters! ! !

If you want to do it, do it big!

The more Henry thought about it, the more excited he became, and the pleasure of burning money came to him spontaneously! (to be continued ~^~)
