June 30th.

Xian City, Keji Road, High-tech Industrial Park.

In a dustproof laboratory in the No. 2 factory of the Aerospace Science and Technology Company under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

In front of multiple review experts from the expert group.

Levi took out the object called "small satellite" from his backpack and placed it on the rectangular table in front of the expert.

…

Wu Wanzhou, 68 years old, has served as the chief engineer of the satellite development department. He was responsible for the development of a number of domestic communication satellites, optical detection satellites, radar detection satellites... He is a leading expert in the field of domestic satellite design and has won numerous honors.

He is nearly seventy years old, with half of his hair silver and a white work suit. He often worked overtime when he was young, which made him less energetic than before, but he cannot sit idle and is unwilling to retire. He still hopes to stay in his job and contribute to the country's science and technology cause.

Taking his situation into consideration, his superiors assigned him a relatively leisurely job, as the leader of the non-staff satellite audit team.

Although the work content is leisurely, it is very important and not everyone can do it.

It may even offend people and lead to a lot of complaints.

Even so, Wu Wanzhou always adhered to his ethics and bottom line.

In addition, as more and more satellites were reviewed and Wu Wanzhou saw the booming development of the domestic private aerospace industry, he did not feel very relieved or happy. Instead, he felt extremely disgusted and repulsed by the behavior of certain private capital!

"Those businessmen verbally said they were optimistic about the aerospace industry and wanted to jump on the bandwagon. One after another, they brought their satellites over, each wanting to launch a satellite and make a big news story."

"Then, they use this to drive up the company's stock price and increase the market value of their company."

"Some companies use the guise of high-tech companies to defraud subsidies and policies. Once they get a piece of land, they don't see any high-tech development, but the housing prices are driven up sky-high."

"Most of the satellites they send up into space only have some simple photo and video recording functions. They are essentially similar to a mobile phone, without much advanced technology, and they can't even transmit signals back to the ground."

"Sending private satellites into space only increases the amount of space junk and increases the risk of future space exploration."

So since he became the head of the review team, all private satellites that have no practical value and are destined to become space junk will be taken away by him if they fail his review.

In fact, some people have advised Wu Wanzhou that any high-tech industry is like this at the beginning, with one real and nine fakes, but as long as there is capital willing to enter this industry and as long as 1% of people are doing practical work, this industry will develop rapidly.

After the great waves wash away the sand, the remaining gold is the guarantee for Xia Kingdom to become a strong country in aerospace technology in the future.

So sometimes it is better to turn a blind eye and not be too strict in the review. Besides, aerospace technology companies can also make some money from it.

"no!"

Wu Wanzhou refused righteously, "Don't even a fly can fly past me. This road is blocked."

Don't even think about getting away with it with him since you have such a stinky capital.

Of course, he is not completely unsympathetic. He will approve satellites built by some scientific research institutions, teachers and students in schools, even if they have low technical content and little value. He will even help point out some problems and put forward suggestions for improvement... to encourage true science and technology enthusiasts to keep up the good work.

However.

This blue cylindrical object in front of you is placed on the table.

Wu Wanzhou was surprised, or rather, frowned.

"Is this thing a satellite?"

Gu Xinguo, deputy head of the expert review team, said, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why is it so similar to the thermos I use?"

"It's a satellite,"

Levi said, "100% satellite, genuine."

"It's quite heavy, but why doesn't it even have the typical solar panels? Furthermore, its surface is completely continuous, and there doesn't seem to be any extended solar panel design, nor are there any holes extending out from it."

Another expert took the signal device in his hand and observed it carefully. He was very puzzled as to why it did not have solar panels. You know, without this, the satellite's life would probably only be a few days to a few months relying solely on the internal battery.

"This satellite doesn't use solar power. It has batteries inside. After it's launched into space, it can operate for about three months relying on battery power."

Levi explained.

“It turns out to be a pure battery satellite.”

The expert had nothing much to say. Although most satellites are equipped with solar power generation devices to ensure their service life, it is not uncommon to see satellites without power generation devices.

For example, both Russia and the United States have launched isotope battery satellites, also known as nuclear battery satellites, which can use the energy released by isotope decay to maintain the functions of the satellites.

"Well, young man, tell us about the specific function of your little satellite. What is it used for?"

Wu Wanzhou spoke. He learned from above that this satellite was the first satellite designed and manufactured by the African country of Gambia. It was an important achievement of the country's efforts to explore space, so it must pass the review and be launched into space to become a model project to promote the friendship between Xia and Gang.

But Wu Wanzhou was still very curious.

What kind of technology does the small African country of Gambia have that allows it to build a satellite?

You should know that the satellites used by some major African countries can only be manufactured by Xia Country, and they do not have the relevant technical capabilities.

What strength does Gambia have to be able to do what even the big African countries cannot?

Some people also speculate whether this small blue satellite is a large MP3 that can only play songs in space to save the country's leaders' face?
