According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...Disrupting things was Xiao Tianna's forte. If he hadn't hacked into certain organizations' systems, he wouldn't have been fired. Away from his profession, no matter how rich Xing Baohua was, he couldn't have dug him out back then.
The tech expert has some understanding of satellite transmission and is now just waiting to crack the data packets. Of course, the cracked data packets are just a set of encrypted data; he will create a decoder tool based on the encrypted data.
Without a decoder, the data he acquires will be completely garbled whenever it's opened.
Software only provides a temporary solution; as for hardware compatibility, simply find an embedded chip and write decryption code into it, and the problem can be solved.
Decryption will take time, and the machines are currently working frantically to crack it. With the base's supercomputer, it's estimated that the cracking pattern will be found in just a few days.
Geng Rui was still methodically testing the satellite bandwidth, transmission stability, and the reception of the shared information equipment.
So far, there doesn't seem to be any major problem, and the anticipated receiver restart hasn't happened again. This put her at ease.
After completing his project, Zhang Dongshuo left first, after all, he still had a very important project to do, and a lot of time had already been wasted. Judging from this super dragon, it was indeed extremely weak. If he had developed the superconducting chip, the FAST telescope would no longer be the FAST telescope.
Of course, installing it on an airplane is somewhat impractical. Using superconducting chips requires ultra-low temperatures. In this way, as long as the data bandwidth is sufficient, it is possible to connect to a server that uses superconducting chips.
This mindset also motivated Zhang Dongshuo to develop superconductivity as soon as possible.
After saying goodbye to Xing Baohua, I returned to Ludong. Before leaving, I told him not to bother me unless it was something important, as I wanted to focus on my research on superconductivity.
Xing Baohua agreed, but also made a small request. He asked that if there were no breakthroughs in superconductivity research, he could take some time to develop SuperDragon 2. With SuperDragon 1 as a foundation, SuperDragon 2 would be much easier to develop.
Zhang Dongshuo had no choice but to nod in agreement; he would have to do this job sooner or later.
The FAST project is progressing rapidly. The resources for the final assembly are enormous. They are being given whatever they need, and with the close attention of the bigwigs, the engineers are working like crazy.
This is because resources are concentrated, and many things have blueprints, so you can basically get started after making some modifications.
In the past, if you wanted to develop a new type of aircraft, it would take several years, or even more than a decade, to finalize the design before it could even be put into test flights.
With the size of the An-124, the shape of the Il-76, and the nose of the C-130, it does seem somewhat incongruous. However, this combination was approved by aerodynamicists. After the fuselage is completed and tested in the wind tunnel, it will be ready for test flights.
Later on, various equipment was added.
The radar team also invited Xing Baohua over to discuss cooperation. It's not that he really doesn't understand this stuff; all he knows is how to tinker with an antenna. Antennas and radar are two completely different concepts.
Just like domestic cats and tigers, both are felines, but the differences are too great.
But there was no other way; they had to go. After all, they needed to handle encoding and networking, convert analog signals to digital, and use the host computer's calculations to lock onto the target. Looking at Xiaotian, who was still working on the password, they asked, "How much longer?"
"It'll be soon!"
"Soon" means how much longer?
"I don't know, but I feel it'll be soon."
Xing Baohua was speechless. He had no choice but to go to the radar group to find out what was going on, and then come back to Xiaotian to see how to design the programming and make a signal converter.
When they arrived at the radar group, they were still studying and discussing what kind of radar to use. The most common options were meter-wave radar, passive radar, and phased array radar.
To be honest, Xing Baohua really didn't understand this stuff, but he still needed to know a little bit, since converting digital signals still depended on their team.
After numerous demonstrations and studies, they integrated several radars to create a multi-element circular antenna array.
Looking at the data charts, Xing Baohua learned that there was an antenna feed matrix beneath the multi-element antenna array. There were many sets of RF amplifiers; Xing Baohua didn't know how powerful they were, but judging by their power consumption, these things were incredibly energy-intensive.
There were many sets of logic controllers. At this point, Xing Baohua understood, but for the next operation, these experts actually used vacuum tubes? Various different wattages were combined together, and the power used was determined by the controller.
Xing Baohua also wanted to ask if it should be changed to an integrated system, and they could provide a solution.
When rejected, the radar expert team said that using a tube has its advantages; even if the integrated circuit is rendered useless by an electromagnetic wave attack, the tube can still continue to function.
The tubes are not only capable of attacking, but also of withstanding damage. Although they are a bit large, airplanes are big too! They can fit a tube array cabinet.
Xing Baohua's task is to study how to convert the quantitative data he obtains into numbers, which is equivalent to connecting the optic nerve to the brain and then controlling other limbs.
When he returned with the relevant materials, he saw that Xiao Tian was still acting nonchalantly, staring at the code display screen.
Xing Baohua patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sign this confidential document, then take another look at these documents and think about your ideas before you speak."
"What?!"
"Eye."
"Why would you want to see me? I'm not an ophthalmologist."
"Stop joking around, sign it and look at the documents. The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can go home."
Will you be given leave?
Xing Baohua nodded helplessly. This time it was a real leave, since his wife was pregnant; it was just that the leave was a bit long. Besides, it was officially a long leave, but he would be available whenever needed.
Xiao Tian quickly signed the confidential document, opened the back of the document, and stared wide-eyed as he read on. The contents and formulas were beyond his knowledge.
