Free Web NovelChapter 1183: Chapter 575: There is technology to break through space in the country!_2
Domestically, there is a vacancy in this area; whether it’s internet protocols, underlying compiler software, popular operating systems, and so on, almost none of them have much to do with us domestically. Ninety-nine percent are standards set by foreign countries and products developed abroad.
Internet communication already has international standards, and some top-tier companies are in possession of advanced technologies. To conduct research at the foundational level has become meaningless; investing large amounts of funding in R&D in related fields, from scratch, the outcomes are almost impossible to be recognized.
But now...
"If technology experiences a major breakthrough, could the internet possibly be overturned?" Zhou Jun thought of this question and immediately chuckled bitterly, shaking his head. He could not think of any reason why the internet industry would be overturned; decades of developments in information communication have more or less fixed the field.
Zhou Jun thought, "But Academician Zhao also said that technology is on the verge of a breakthrough and even specifically mentioned that foundational research could at least double the return on investment. Maybe it’s worth a try?"
"He has no reason to trick me..."
"Taking a gamble doesn’t seem too bad, does it?" Zhou Jun pondered carefully and made his decision. He felt that Zhao Yi had no reason to deceive anyone; he was completely trustworthy.
If one does not engage in R&D in new directions, perhaps one day, should any new technology emerge, and one’s own business fails to keep up with the times, it could experience a ’dimensional’ blow and be directly eliminated from the market.
Such things are not strange at all; not to mention whether there is a technological explosion or not, over the past few decades, with the rapid development of information and communication technology, many large companies have disappeared.
Not to mention industries with fierce competition.
Take, for example, mobile phone manufacturing.
The once globally popular brick phones were phased out by the world within just a few years, a fact that no one could have anticipated. The reason lay in the software system, not a gap in hardware.
That’s the ’dimensional’ blow.
While Zhou Jun was deep in thought, Zhao Yi had already moved on to the third point, which was the core of the core in his report.
He spoke continuously about several high-end manufacturing and materials R&D, including technologies and materials related to electronics and communications; this included aerospace materials, as well as fine manufacturing and precision machining technologies.
Additionally, it included the development of photoelectric technology.
Everyone knew that photoelectric technology was definitely related to anti-gravity technology, and just as they were starting to look forward to it, Zhao Yi concluded his report.
"Thank you, everyone!"
Zhao Yi politely thanked everyone and then sat back down.
Many people felt very depressed. They had hoped to hear about anti-gravity technology, perhaps to talk about the details, which photoelectric technologies are directly related to the development of anti-gravity technology, so they could invest in targeted R&D accordingly.
But as it turned out...
Nothing!
Actually, Zhao Yi’s presentation was critically important, with almost no superfluous content, all pinpointing the main topic of the report. He mentioned technologies and materials that were all directly related to Space Link Technology.
Space Link Technology is bound to see significant development in the future, and the related materials and technologies will become key to supporting this development.
Only with sufficiently advanced materials and technologies can high-end space link devices be supported, allowing Space Link Technology to develop and become widespread, swiftly occupying a significant place in the field of communications, and even sweeping the industry, disrupting the existing information communication structure.
...
The technology development conference ended.
Zhao Yi’s presentation was reported by many media, and the public response was somewhat disappointed because he did not talk about anti-gravity technology. The other contents relating to high-end manufacturing and materials, as well as his official-like speech, did not seem to make any distinction, and interest in related reporting dwindled.
However, the important figures who participated in the technology development conference did not see it the same way, especially the representatives from those enterprises. They knew for sure that something big was going to happen.
Many enterprise representatives learned one piece of news—after the technology development conference, Zhao Yi, accompanied by representatives of thirteen enterprises, went somewhere, seemingly to inspect something.
The specific situation was only known to those involved, but after they returned, they kept their lips sealed.
The most they would say was, "We’ve signed a confidentiality agreement."
Many began paying attention to the movements of several enterprises, and one piece of news confirmed their suspicions.
Rumors on social media said that domestically, thirteen enterprises, under the lead of Aviation Group, had established a new company.
This news was initially speculative, but after a week, it turned out to be true, as it was made public.
Aviation Group’s subsidiary, Satellite Communication Group Corporation, was split off and combined with thirteen other enterprises to form "Space Information Technology Co., Ltd."
"Space Information Technology? What does that mean? Space communication?"
"Stop kidding, how do you communicate through space? Or is ’space’ just in the name?"
"It seems to be real!"
"Maybe, they’re doing research on communication technology for an antigravity device? But what does antigravity have to do with communication? Could they be planning to use antigravity technology to build large manned spacecraft to explore Mars? Is this Space Information Technology serving that purpose?"
"The person above, your imagination is unbeatable, it feels like it’s just as you described..."
"It must be so!"
"The Aerospace Bureau is going to explore Mars? With antigravity technology? I’m really looking forward to it!"
Such talk indeed had its market initially, but as more leaks came out, people started noticing something amiss, because the registered capital of Space Information Technology Co., Ltd. was a whopping hundred billion.
A hundred billion!
If they were merely doing communication technology related to aerospace, the market could be said to be very small. It would be completely serving aerospace technology with no relation to civilian use and naturally not likely to be profitable.
So what was the meaning of registering a capital of hundreds of billions?
When a newly established company has a registered capital reaching hundreds of billions, it would definitely put all its efforts into developing the civilian sector and strive for future profits, instead of limiting itself to research a technology that’s unlikely to turn a profit.
Facing the rampant public speculation, the newly established Space Information Technology company stopped beating around the bush and assuredly released a message—
"Space Technology holds the most advanced space communication technology; in the future, it will dedicate itself to developing technologies related to spatial information transmission and will lead the international community in setting relevant technical standards."
"Whoosh~~"
As the information was released, the public opinion instantly boiled over, "So it really is space communication!"
"Space communication technology! How do you use space for communication?"
"What kind of technology is this?" freeweɓnovel.cøm
"When did our country start researching space? Space? You’re not joking, right?"
"This isn’t antigravity technology; it’s space technology. Could it be a new form of black technology?"
"Space, ah! What kind of black technology has our country mastered? Have we already achieved point-to-point spatial transmission? That’s awesome..."
"It’s really too cool!"
"I originally thought antigravity technology was cool enough, but this is even more incredible—space research... Are they planning to lead humanity to conquer other worlds?"
"..."
At that time, people talking about antigravity technology became fewer because this thing with space communication seemed to have nothing to do with antigravity. Everyone else simply believed that space communication was a new field of research, a new black technology, and there was no way to connect space research with antigravity technology.
Many people hoped for more detailed information, so they immediately posted comments under Zhao Yi’s Weibo, all feeling that such high-end black technology must somehow be related to Zhao Yi.
"God Zhao, can you leak some information?"
"What exactly is space communication technology? What kind of communication? What principle?"
"Is it really space communication? Has space been bridged?"
"..."
Zhao Yi also noticed the public’s attention and simply posted a message with four simple words, "This is true."
Suddenly.
’This is true,’ these four words became the top trending topic online, not just domestically but also rapidly occupying international heat.
Some media immediately reported, "Academician Zhao has confirmed public speculation: space communication is directly related to space as we understand it!"
"Our country has mastered communication technology that traverses space; maybe in the future, humans could truly cross through space!"
"This is an entirely new technology!"
"Research in the space field will definitely, just like antigravity technology, become a new direction for the future development of human science!"
"..."
