Launching three satellites at once is unprecedented for anyone.
"How do we choose the route and track?" Wagner asked Lu Guansheng.
"You should ask Joseph these questions. He speaks good English. If Mr. Wagner doesn't mind, why don't you communicate with him directly in English?" Lu Guansheng handed the task to Zhu Yuhang.
"We plan to distribute these nine satellites in a V-shaped pattern," Zhu Yuhang explained while drawing a diagram. "Three satellites in each line. The two arcs on the left and right will follow north-south orbits, and the three satellites in the V-shaped center will follow east-west orbits."
"What is the approximate distance between each satellite?" Wagner also calculated while listening.
"The ground projection distance is basically around 2,600 to 2,800 kilometers."
"So, the track spacing will more than double?"
"Yes."
"In this case, they can't be released at the same time!"
"That's right!" Zhu Yuhang nodded. "We should place a catapult between each satellite, separating one every minute and a half."
"Does this arc-shaped distribution require external power?" Wagner continued to calculate.
Once the rocket reaches orbit, it will travel in a straight line, without turning. The first two rockets could be distributed using the Earth's rotation, but that would mean the last rocket would be a million miles away from its launch point!
"The middle one will be powered and used for reverse thrust, so the first and third ones can follow the rocket's orbit. This way the weight of the equipment will be easier to control." Zhu Yuhang proposed a different route plan.
"But we must launch the three east-west satellites first," Lu Guansheng reminded. "To avoid a collision, the three in the middle must be in place first."
Because of the influence of the earth's rotation, an east-west orbit requires north-south power, and a straight line will definitely not work.
"We can calculate the rotation rate, delay the launch, head southwest, and use the rotation to reach the fixed point." Wagner's experience came in handy at this time.
"Hmm! That's a good idea. The calculations will depend on all of you working hard to achieve accuracy!"
"Please rest assured, Allen! We Germans have a good reputation. We may not be the best in other aspects, but we are very precise and meticulous!" Wagner made a joke about his own people.
Those satellites were still in the manufacturing phase and could not provide samples at the moment. Lu Guansheng built a model based on volume and weight to replace the real satellite for the experiment to ensure that everything was safe.
Zhu Yuhang was left behind to continue communicating with them about the experiment, and Lu Guansheng took Fu Ti straight to France a few days later.
With mechanic William flying the helicopter, the two men felt a lot more relaxed. During the two-hour flight, they were able to discuss the implementation plan.
Sure enough, scientists all have the same curiosity about technology.
William proudly showed off his helicopter landing, turning the idle waiting time into his aerobatic performance!
After three hours of negotiations, when Chief Engineer Feng Siwa was sending Lu Guansheng and Fu Ti back to the tarmac, he almost gasped!
His employees gathered together with William, clearly skipping work, right?
"What are you doing?" Feng Siwa interrupted the group with a stern voice.
"Ah! Chief Engineer!" After being caught skipping work, the group was a little at a loss.
"Report to the Chief Engineer! We are researching nano-technology helicopters!" Someone replied bravely.
"Helicopter?" Feng Siwa looked around. "You're bragging without thinking? Where's the helicopter?"
"It's here!" Everyone made room and pointed to a circular plate on the ground where they were gathered.
"Victor!" Feng Siwa felt that they were bragging too openly.
"Feng Siwa, they really weren't bragging!" Lu Guansheng smiled and came to the rescue of his employees, "That really is my helicopter."
While Feng Siwa was puzzled, Lu Guansheng signaled William to start the helicopter's nano-recovery.
Feng Siwa was stunned when he saw the helicopter appearing out of thin air in front of him.
Well, he was short-sighted! They weren't kidding! He also realized why these people skipped work. When a tech-savvy person encounters a new tech gadget, there's no way they'll let it go!
"Am I too ambitious and incompetent?" Feng Siwa reflected on himself after Lu Guansheng left.
I originally thought that he came here to ask for help because he didn't have the skills, but now it seems that he just didn't have the venue temporarily and came here to give him money!
Alas! Fortunately, Hayden had warned him in advance, telling him to be polite and respectful to others. Otherwise, his arrogant sense of superiority would have ruined the cooperation.
Don't judge a person by appearance! This Allen taught him a lesson!
After leaving France, they went straight to England without stopping.
Lu Guansheng was very familiar with the UK! It was already evening, so instead of rushing to the space agency, he went to Oxford to hang out with his cousin.
William had nothing to do, so Lawrence Lu simply called Xiao Nuomu Town in the southern suburbs. There was a small airport there, which was the base camp for aerial stunts.
After using his connections, he let William go and have fun on his own.
"Yuxian, where are you?" Lu Guansheng called Qian Yuxian while sitting in a cafe.
"Guansheng? Why is it a UK number? Are you in the UK?"
"Near your house! Want to hang out and see your new place?"
"We can get together! But don't visit! I'm in a terrible situation here!" Qian Youxian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm fighting with my dinner! Did you hear that? The smoke alarm is going off! I'm trying to apologize to the landlord!"
"Hahahaha!" Lu Guansheng laughed. "You've been a useless person all your life, and now you're independent, you feel embarrassed, right?"
"I can't help it! The takeout here is so poorly stocked, and my dad won't let me hire a servant, saying he wants me to be self-sufficient!"
