Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

In reality, launching a BeiDou-3 GEO satellite is certainly not as simple as Xia Yiyi described, where you just transport the complete system over there, assemble it, and launch it.

In fact, even though the later generations prepared everything for the people of Beijing, there were still many difficulties.

Take, for example, the many challenges that will be faced in building a launch pad for a Long March 3B rocket.

First of all, the technical skills must be up to par.

However, the version provided by later generations was the complete set.

Whether it's the complex structural design, the challenging high-temperature protection, the precise positioning and guidance system, or the intricate measurement and control system, it all comes down to these factors.
This is not a problem for future generations at all.

Therefore, we won't go into too much detail about this part.

Let's talk about this construction difficulty.

First of all, because building a launch pad is a very delicate and meticulous task, the construction of a launch pad must have extremely high requirements in terms of construction precision!

Even the slightest error could lead to launch failure, resulting in catastrophic consequences!

Therefore, this part absolutely cannot be neglected!
Secondly, there is the issue of multi-system integration.

Because the launch pad not only includes the launch tower itself, but also needs to integrate multiple complex systems such as fuel supply system, communication system, and telemetry and control system.

Therefore, the integration and coordinated operation of these systems is also a major challenge in building a launch pad.

Then there's environmental adaptability, safety, and reliability.

As mentioned earlier, even the smallest error could lead to launch failure.

Similarly, in construction, any design or construction flaws can lead to disastrous consequences.

Given the severity of the consequences, should aerospace standards and safety regulations be strictly followed during construction?
We still need it, right?
This request has created yet another major problem.

So where do all these professionals come from?
Are we going to rely on those technical personnel in Beijing who can't even repair a bridge or manage a river?

This is clearly unrealistic!

The construction of just one launch pad capable of launching the CZ-3B carrier rocket has presented the city with so many challenges.

Still want to launch?

How to launch it?

Should we launch it from the head?
Xia Yi couldn't understand how the people in Beijing could successfully launch the rocket and get the satellite into its intended orbit.

Therefore, the large number of technicians and professional construction teams that later moved into the world of Beijing was something that the people of Beijing had to seriously consider.

This is also a situation that the later generations, led by Xia Yiyi, are very happy to see.

These things are definitely none of my business with Ximen Lang.

Given his impatient nature, he would never be willing to listen to me rambling on and on about these things.

Therefore, let's leave it to the diplomatic team already dispatched to Beijing to continue these in-depth discussions with the Beijing authorities.

she?
All we need to do is pique Ximen Lang's interest, so that he neither objects nor investigates the matter further.

And the result was exactly as Xia Yi had predicted.

After learning that the only difficulty, getting Xia Yiyi to agree to place the launch site in Beijing, was no longer an issue.

They were overjoyed.

Ximen Lang, who neither wanted to nor could possibly delve into the matter, simply patted his chest and declared it.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this! You just want to scam them again and make their families work for you for the rest of their lives, right? It's okay, your heart won't hurt."

"This time I'm standing right on your side, completely on your side! I'll talk to them about this. So what if I take on another mountain of debt? Anyway, the more debt I have, the less I worry. They've got experience with carrying debts!"

“I’ll talk to them, I’ll talk to them! I guarantee you’ll make a fortune this time, and then use these debts to exploit them! Make them never dare to rest for a moment, they’ll be like slaves to their mortgages and cars, they’ll be working for you obediently for the rest of their lives, not even daring to get sick!”

Having said that, he didn't want to waste a single moment.

Turning his head, Ximen Lang was about to leave this place and return to his loyal courtyard world to share the good news with Bai Ling and Lao Luo.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was about to leave, he patted his behind.

Xia Yiyi, who had urgent matters to discuss with Ximen Lang, quickly stopped him.

She pulled on Ximen Lang's arm, telling him to calm down and sit down first.

Xia Yiyi explained.

"Look at you, what's the rush? I still have something to tell you."

"What could be more important than this?"

"Of course not. Nothing is more important than that."

"and you."

"But it's no less significant than this!"

"It's not much smaller than this. What is it then? Don't just stand there, tell me what it is! I need to get down to business!"

Seeing that Ximen Lang was getting anxious again as he spoke.

"Look at you, so impatient. This satellite is important, but not urgent. Both the selection of the launch site and the construction of the launch site will take a lot of time. No matter how anxious you are, it won't help. It's not going to happen anytime soon. Can't you be a little more patient and wait a little longer?"

After much persuasion, Ximen Lang finally obediently sat back down.

Then, they served tea and water, practically giving Ximen Lang a shoulder and leg massage.

The inexplicable fawning left Ximen Lang somewhat bewildered.

He frowned and stared at Xia Yi for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what kind of trouble she was up to this time.

It seemed that if this dragged on any longer, Ximen Lang would really lose his temper.

After agonizing for a long time, Xia Yiyi finally stopped hesitating.

Instead, she acted like a dutiful wife, massaging Ximen Lang's shoulders and legs.

While trying her best to soothe Ximen Lang's obviously unsettled emotions, Xia Yiyi spoke to Ximen Lang, somewhat embarrassed.

"What else could it be? It's that thing. You wanted to help Sister Ling set up a complete communication system, right? Or start with the most basic pagers and harvest them one by one. Your idea is really bold, but I have to admit that this plan is indeed very excellent and highly feasible! Most importantly, it's really very profitable." "Yeah, but what does that have to do with you?"

"How can it not concern me? Didn't I tell you already? Sister Ling's business is my business! Your business is my business too! Building such a big thing as a sound communication system is my duty and responsibility! At this difficult time, how can I not lend a hand and do my part?"

"you"

He stared at Xia Yi for a long time, incredulously, and saw that she really wasn't embarrassed at all, and was truly outspoken.

Ximen Lang finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Do you even know what you're saying, Yi Yi?"

"Of course I know."

"I knew you'd still dare to say that, and with such righteous indignation! Help? What help are you going to offer! If you want to get involved and get a share, just say so, instead of this 'duty and responsibility.' I never knew you were so shameless! You actually want to take advantage of me, even with the lights off!"

Good grief, once they caught Xia Yiyi, they gave her a good beating.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself before speaking, Xia Yiyi almost lost her composure when she was given the bear's gift.

Seeing the harsh words Ximen Lang spoke, it was clear that they were exceptionally offensive.

Xia Yiyi, who seemed to be taking the insult to heart, quickly composed herself.

Regrouping, they brought up the old issue again and continued to persuade Ximen Langdao.

"Don't put it so harshly. While it's true what happened, and I admit I was somewhat dishonest, I genuinely could have helped you a lot!"

"Not to mention anything else, what are you going to do about all that steel used to lay base stations?"

"I'm sorry, but I gave them all the data on the five small industries months ago. Including the small steel mills using blast furnace steelmaking technology, I gave them everything! They're building small steel plants on a massive scale right now, and steelmaking is in full swing!"

"So many steel mills! Even if each mill is a little smaller, its output won't be as high as ours. But with all these mills combined, the output is definitely not small! At least it can handle the daily needs of building the base station! They don't lack steel at all over there right now. Aren't you disappointed?"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang burst into unrestrained laughter, clearly pleased with himself.

Seeing Ximen Lang laughing so happily, Xia Yiyi, whether infected by his laughter or genuinely finding his smug expression amusing, also started laughing along with him.

Good heavens, they were all laughing more heartily and unrestrainedly than the last.

They're both lunatics.

Ximen Lang became somewhat insecure under their gaze, and could no longer laugh. His voice inevitably grew softer as his confidence waned.

Xia Yiyi then withdrew her supernatural powers.

He extended a finger and emphasized to Simon Lang with absolute certainty and certainty.

"Absolutely not! If you think that would be enough for them, you're mistaken! I can tell you very clearly that their steel production is definitely insufficient, and the shortage is enormous!"

Xia Yiyi was certainly certain of that.

Although the steel production in Beijing did increase significantly because it had access to the complete blast furnace steelmaking method.

It doesn't even have to wait until next year, it's all this year!

Because of the intense steelmaking activity over the past few months, they are able to realize their long-cherished dream of catching up with and surpassing Britain and the United States!

Let's not even talk about surpassing the US directly, but at least surpassing the UK, which is already in decline and is being served by two major powers and is barely surviving, is still no problem.

But even if the US treated the symptoms and the Soviet Union treated the root cause, and the two countries worked together to create a specimen, what could the British do?

"They've expanded their operations so much over there, trying to both vigorously develop local construction and take care of military production. Do you know how much steel will be consumed every day once construction starts? And that Type 59 tank, which they've probably already started producing over there, requires at least 30 to 40 tons of high-quality steel per tank!"

"So what if those few small steel mills can produce a lot? Even if everyone on the plant works like a superhuman, 24/7, can that little production capacity supply such a huge demand?! It's highly unlikely, isn't it? Not to mention, the quality of the steel produced there might not even be up to standard. Quality control, that's a huge problem!"

This was indeed a major problem that Simon Lang had to take seriously and that caused him a great deal of headache.

Although Simon Lang had repeatedly emphasized the importance of quality control to Lao Luo and Bai Ling.

Even if he emphasized it, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on so many steel mills every day.

In addition, people of this generation are generally a bit impatient.

To achieve production targets and surpass the UK and the US, they're even willing to risk their lives! (Please search for details yourself; it's inconvenient to elaborate here, so I won't go into too much detail.)
Therefore, Simon Lang was actually always worried about the quality of the steel produced in Beijing.

There's no use worrying about things like this.

As mentioned earlier, he couldn't possibly go directly to the factory to supervise their production.

There was nothing he could do but suppress all his worries.

It wasn't until Xia Yiyi directly and bluntly pointed this out today that these worries began to haunt Ximen Lang's mind like a nightmare again, causing him to become conflicted once more.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was clearly somewhat persuaded by her, Xia Yiyi pressed her advantage and continued.

"And then there's the issue of iron ore. If I remember correctly, you mentioned to me that the iron ore there isn't very high quality, is it? It's not only not a rich mine, but the deposits are also extremely scattered. These are all major problems that cannot be ignored."

"Unlike us, we're supplied with rich mines from Brazil and buy iron ore from Australia. Every year, we import at least 12 billion tons of iron ore! Add to that our advanced steel manufacturing capabilities."

"I think you should really consider this. From every perspective, our two families are a good match. Plus, our steel is of high quality and low price, so you won't lose out or be cheated."

"Seriously, if we don't make a huge purchase and let them take advantage of us, I'll feel like we're losing out on them."

Xia Yiyi's words were getting more and more outrageous.

It was clearly the later generations who benefited greatly, but she managed to portray it as the Beijing side being at a disadvantage if they didn't buy.

Ximen Lang was completely fed up with listening to it.

At the same time, I gained a deeper understanding of Xia Yiyi's shamelessness.

Not giving Ximen Lang another chance to ridicule her, Xia Yiyi continued.

"And then there's the fiber optic cable connecting all the base stations, which not only has a fast transmission speed but also an incredibly large capacity and extremely strong anti-interference capabilities. You've already built the base stations, so you definitely need to install the fiber optic cable, right? You have to use it! This is another big problem that Sister Ling and the others can't solve! I'm really worried about them!"

Ximen Lang was so moved by what he said that he wanted to grab Xia Yiyi and give her a good beating.

Xia Yiyi then revealed her true intentions.

"I won't ask you for much, and I won't compete with you for the operations or anything like that. But I feel you can't do without my help with these basic things. Of course, if you insist on me getting involved in operations, I can't refuse. Anyway, I'm fine with anything; whether you use my help or not is entirely up to you." (End of Chapter)
