He Xingzhou said, “Great!”

…

The space satellite network plan was led by aerospace technology engineer Hou Jinxiu from the space agency. Currently, they were still working on quantum communication satellites and large payload reusable rocket technology.

The scientists reassigned by He Hongwei also joined the research team.

He Xingzhou arrived at the Shen Zhou Aerospace Research Institute to find Hou Jinxiu and learn about the project’s progress.

“We already had the technology for quantum communication satellites on Earth and in space, but achieving global connectivity with high-speed networks was still beyond our reach,” Hou Jinxiu said.

He Xingzhou had several requirements for the global space network, such as global monitoring, global positioning, and worldwide connectivity!

The monitoring and positioning technology in Shen Zhou were already mature, with only the network communication technology lacking.

This was a communication technology more powerful than 5G, capable of networking on a global scale with speeds a hundred to a thousand times faster than 5G!

*He Xingzhou didn’t want to call it sixth-generation communication technology since the current definition of sixth-generation communication technology merely increased data transmission speeds on Earth.*

*What He Xingzhou aimed to design was a communication network that could cover the whole world and at least ensure communication between Earth and the Moon.*

Moreover, the quantum communication method was adopted to ensure information security through quantum keys, making it difficult for enemies to intercept information.

“To achieve global networking, positioning, and a quantum communication network, at least dozens of satellites would be needed. Moreover, not micro or small satellites, but at least of the Beidou Satellite specifications.”

“It took the Beidou satellite network 26 years to be successful, and we had to reach this goal within two years, which was pretty challenging!”

“There was also the problem of rocket carrying capacity.” He Xingzhou looked at the project data. The current manufacturing cycle for a rocket was very long. If we launched slowly, it might not be completed within two years.

Therefore, multi-satellite technology had to be adopted, with one rocket launching several satellites. It would be even better if the rocket could be reused.

Having understood the current progress, He Xingzhou said, “I have a rough understanding now. In the next period, I’ll be staying with your project group.”

“You’re very welcome! With Mr. He’s help, we’ll undoubtedly boost our speed!” Hou Jinxiu said happily, knowing that He Xingzhou’s focus was now on their project group.

In He Xingzhou’s office, he silently opened the Quantum Light Computer to check the technology tree.

“Planetary space network technology required 150,000 energy units to unlock.” This was essential for setting up a space network, so He Xingzhou unlocked it directly.

“Quantum communication technology required 100,000 energy units to unlock.” This was for quantum information encryption, and He Xingzhou unlocked it again.

“Satellite positioning technology required 100,000 energy units to unlock.” After entering the data, He Xingzhou only needed 10,000 energy units to supplement.

“Satellite remote sensing technology required 100,000 energy units to unlock.” Remote sensing technology was the technique of long-distance photography and surveying by satellites and essential for global satellite monitoring.

He Xingzhou unlocked it as well.

After unlocking these, He Xingzhou had no remaining energy points to unlock the rocket-related technology.

*”Let’s design and manufacture satellites first!”* He Xingzhou thought as he started absorbing and digesting this knowledge.

…

Northern Europe, Finland.

Oulu University, a university ranked among the top 500 globally.

At Oulu University, a globally significant communication technology summit was taking place—the so-called sixth-generation communication technology summit.

This summit gathered members and experts from dozens of communication-related technology companies worldwide to discuss the joint development of sixth-generation communication technology.

This summit had been held once in 2019, and at that time, quite a few companies from Shen Zhou participated. But today, there were no companies from Shen Zhou.

Companies from countries like the UK, Korea, Hans, France, Canada, and Australia occupied the majority of the seats.

“The reason we’ve gathered here from all over the world today is that we’ve received intelligence that Shen Zhou is developing a new generation of communication technology.” The host, Nelson, president of the Bai ying Communication Technology Association, was speaking.

“Everyone knows that during the fifth-generation communication technology phase, their enterprises gained a technological advantage.”

“I don’t need to elaborate on the current competitive landscape; everyone is aware.”

Representatives nodded one after another, especially those from Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, and the space exploration technology company, as well as telecommunications operators from various regions.

The technological development over there was advancing so fast that it put immense pressure on them! Some giant companies saw their market share shrink by more than 20% in a year!

“Therefore, today we aim to unite to form the World Communication Alliance, establish the technical standards and industry standards for the new generation of communication technology, and conduct joint research and development.”

Upon hearing Nelson’s words, representatives from Intel and Qualcomm Company couldn’t help but think of the previous EUV alliance.

After Shen Zhou’s breakthrough in extreme ultraviolet lithography machine technology, the EUV alliance was essentially defunct.

Now they were forming a new World Communication Alliance? Would this alliance be stronger than the EUV alliance?

It seemed as if he read their minds, and Nelson continued, “I have another piece of news to tell everyone; besides our enterprises, we will also receive technical and financial support from our Bai ying, as well as from Hans, France, Korea, and Australia, among other countries!”

He spoke passionately, saying, “Do you know what this means? We will obtain the most advanced technical data, the most extensive market. Once we achieve any technological breakthrough, these markets will be open to us first!”

“This is an unprecedented opportunity for all of us!”

As he spoke, the delegates also became excited, saying, “Is there really such a good thing?”

“We will join this World Communication Alliance!”

“With this support, we’ll soon break through sixth-generation communication technology!”

“This time, we’ll undoubtedly be faster than them!”

Thus, the World Communication Alliance was established. Yet this time, He Xingzhou couldn’t even be bothered to watch them. The event of the mutated birds on Sakura Island was a warning, indicating that the Zerg in the sea were becoming increasingly unable to ‘hide,’ and the time for their large-scale appearance wasn’t far off!

In the communication technology research office, He Xingzhou was conversing with a group of communication technology experts.

He said, “In a quantum communication network, we need confined ions or atoms as nodes, while the channels are realized through optical fibers or similar photonic ‘lines’ to transmit quantum bits.”

“Even if information is intercepted by the enemy, without quantum keys, they can’t know what information we’re sending… So how do we transmit quantum bits?”

“Moreover, to achieve high-speed communication, faster frequency electromagnetic waves must be used for information transmission. And to receive this information, we need to build more base stations!”

“We don’t have the time, energy, or resources to build so many base stations globally. So how do we ensure reception of such high-frequency electromagnetic waves?”

The experts discussed and proposed various solutions.

He Xingzhou said, “My solution is—the Quantum Cascade Laser. It is a semiconductor laser capable of emitting lasers in the mid-infrared and far-infrared bands, and everyone should know its design principles.”

“My newly designed quantum cascade laser boasts high output power, continuously tunable emission wavelength, a wide wavelength coverage range, compact size, and excellent performance for operation in various environments…”

He Xingzhou began to showcase his design principles and construction of the quantum cascade laser.

According to his design, as long as this quantum cascade laser was installed in satellites and some signal base stations were built on the ground, network communication and information transmission from space to the ground could be completed.

Additionally, the connection between the base stations and space satellites could also provide satellite remote sensing mapping, positioning, and other functions, achieving multiple purposes!
