Six months ago, Song Jining successfully obtained a doctorate with his several SCI papers, but Ji Yu, because he was too busy, had no time to write a paper, and he was still a doctoral student.Time to complete the doctoral dissertation will not be available until after the satellite project is over.

The body of the microsatellite has been completed, and whether it can be used in the future can only be determined according to the returned information after it is put into space.Fortunately, the Taiyuan Satellite Base has a satellite launch project every year. This year's launch vehicle is the Long March 1B Y01, and the goal is to launch a China-Pakistan Earth Resources Satellite [-] satellite and a micro-satellite of Jiyu.

Launching a rocket, according to the usual practice, there will naturally be a TV station from the National Science and Technology Channel to interview.

Ji Yu was also asked to be interviewed. He himself was not very interested in this aspect, and said: "At my age, I don't have authority even on TV. Let others do it!"

But the base chose Ji Yu for a reason, Lin Guanghua came to persuade him: "I specially asked you to come forward, just to guide the topic and divert attention."

"Ok?"

Lin Guanghua lowered his head and said in a low voice, "In addition to two ordinary satellites, we will also quietly launch a reconnaissance satellite."

Spy Satellite?

Ji Yu immediately understood.

"Understood, I will go."

The interview was conducted by the engineers together. The microsatellites were interviewed by Ji Zhuan and Garth Milne, an engineer from the CBRSS base and a Brazilian engineer.

The two satellites are all topics of Sino-foreign cooperation.

The two engineers of the resource satellite are not very old, only in their 30s, but compared with them, Ji Yuan is still too young.

He is only 24 years old this year, and has a baby face. He looks exactly like a college student, without even a beard on his face.The point is, he is still very good-looking. The appearance inherited from his mother makes him a bit feminine. The life without sunshine for a long time makes him sickly and pale. He looks like a sick beauty. He is completely different from the serious identity of a satellite engineer. do not match.

The interviewer looked at the interview questions in his hands, and then at Ji Yu, his eyes glistening.Over the past few years, the interviews on the launch vehicle have come and gone, and audiences across the country have become numb to those few questions. She feels that she has finally found a new topic that attracts attention.

"Hello engineers, I'm Li Li, a reporter from the National Science and Technology Channel, and this is Wang Xingkang, the cameraman of our TV station." After introducing the four engineers, Li Li asked, "Can we start the interview now? From time to time, I will ask everyone about topics in technology and work life, if there is any content that cannot be released, please just say 'yes', and we will edit it later."

"Yes." The person who spoke was the base engineer of the resource satellite, named Zhou Nan, who was also one of the persons in charge of the interview.He decides what can and cannot be published during an interview.In particular, there were two foreigners interviewed this time. The base was afraid that they would reveal something that should not be said unintentionally, and the TV station would not be able to distinguish it and broadcast it directly.

So the four sat side by side and began to be interviewed.

Li Li first interviewed an engineer in Brazil, asking him his views on Huaguo technology, and the technology of manufacturing satellites.

The engineer was very enthusiastic and cheerful, and he talked freely in English, but after he answered several questions in a row, Zhou Nan said blankly: "Yes."

This guy accidentally revealed some technology that shouldn't be announced.

Li Li nodded, and turned to Ji Yu, who she had always been interested in: "I noticed just now, Mr. Ji Yu is quite young, how long have you been in the satellite base?"

She didn't know the identities of these engineers, and the only information she got was their names, and the rest would not be announced to her.

Ji Yu smiled: "More than three years."

"I read information that this time it will launch a micro-satellite. What is a micro-satellite? How is it different from other satellites?"

"Compared with other satellites, microsatellites are more space-saving, cheap and lightweight satellites. Compared with other satellites, their basic advantage is firstly the cost savings. Normally, the cost of a large satellite from production to space For..." Ji Yu looked at Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan replied: "The average cost is 40000 US dollars per kilogram. Our base has tried its best to save, and the average cost is 35000 US dollars per kilogram."

Li Li is the old host of the Science and Technology Channel, and she knows this data well, so she asked Ji Yu: "Then what is the development cost of the micro-satellite?"

"The average cost is 6000 US dollars per kilogram." Ji Yu said seriously: "This is only the funding for the first research and development. In the future, the funding for technological improvements will definitely decrease."

"Yes." Zhou Nan nodded, and said to Ji Yu: "If I can't get away from work here, I would like to go to study with you. The micro-satellite project you established brings us more than just satellites. Advances in space technology, and more importantly savings in funding, will allow us to start developing more satellites next year."

"Hiss—" Li Li was startled. After all, the cost was reduced from 40000 US dollars to 6000 US dollars. Elementary school students can calculate the difference.

"Excuse me, can these contents be released to the public?"

Zhou Nan nodded: "Yes, this is just a normal introduction of our country's high-tech to the international community. After all, our satellite base also accepts international orders."

Li Li nodded and continued to interview Ji Yu: "Then Mr. Ji, the cost is so different, technically, can micro-satellites achieve the same functions as large satellites?"

"No problem." Ji Yu affirmed: "After many tests, all the functions of the micro-satellite are no different from those of the large satellite. In other words, there is only a problem of service life. The micro-satellite is only half of the service life of the large satellite."

Ji Yu once again told Li Li and the audience in front of the TV popular science: "The service life of a normal large satellite is 4 years, while the service life of a micro satellite is 2 years."

Li Li blurted out: "But after two years, the cost will only be 4 US dollars per kilogram for four years..."

Ji Yu nodded with a smile: "That's right."

Zhou Nan spoke again: "I believe that after the successful launch of the satellite, there will definitely be many brothers and sister countries in the third world who are interested."

The international satellite order is one aspect, and more importantly, after the micro-satellites are confirmed to be in use in space, the next focus will be the micro-spy satellites.But there's no need to say these things, even Ji Yu himself doesn't know.

In fact, when the micro-spy satellite project was proposed, the base had proposed to bring in Ji Zhuan, give him the status of an official engineer of the satellite base, and even let him lead the spy satellite project.The treatment was very sincere, and the rights and interests were great. All the security personnel who participated in the meeting agreed, and they reported it when they went back.

He came back a week later and informed them that the higher-ups did not agree to let Ji Lian become the engineer of the satellite base.

"What does it mean?" Zhou Nan was very dissatisfied: "Because he is too young and does not have enough education and qualifications?"

"Not enough qualifications? It's just too much..." The security officer showed an indescribable expression: "Do you know what he used to study?"

"what?"

"Yes... Forget it, the data can't be unlocked yet. In short, the meaning above is that it's too wasteful to keep Ji Yu in the satellite base, and he should be allowed to study more and more important things."

What is more important?Zhou Nan was puzzled.

He has read Ji Yu's information and knows that he has published many SCI papers, is a student of Li Zeye, a bachelor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is currently a doctoral student.It can be said that he is excellent in character and learning, but nothing special can be seen from the materials. What did he study before?

Zhou Nan was thinking on this side, and on the other side, Ji Yu had already answered many of Li Li's technical questions, leading them to Garth Milne from time to time, and several of them answered questions alternately.The interview went smoothly for more than an hour, and at the end of it, Li Li finally couldn't help asking about topics outside the satellite: "I think Mr. Ji is much younger than other engineers, can I ask you about the work you are in charge of at the satellite base? "

Judging from his age, Ji Yu should be a master's student, and this degree is the lowest level technician in the satellite base.But it is impossible for a low-level technician to be interviewed on behalf of the satellite base, so Li Li is very curious about him.

Regarding this sudden question, Ji Yu turned to Zhou Nan: "Zhou Gong, can you tell me?"

Zhou Nan thought for a while: "There is nothing to hide. Don't you want to write a paper later? It won't be known by then."

When high-tech technologies such as micro-satellites are announced to the world, relevant papers must be published.The name of the person in charge, Ji Chen, cannot be hidden no matter what, and there is no need to hide it.

So Ji Yu nodded: "I am the person in charge of the micro-satellite project."

"The main applicant, the main developer, and the main person in charge." Zhou Nan added: "I heard that the micro-satellite project was approved because Ji Yu was the applicant, otherwise the Chinese Academy of Sciences might not have dared to approve such a large sum of money... Ah, it seems like it shouldn’t be said, remember to cut this passage.”
