Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

After this, the situation with family cars was similar. Although many people online clamored that driving a car, especially a manual transmission, was the only way to experience the joy of driving,

waking up early to go to work made them so sleepy, and after work, they were so exhausted that they just wanted to lie down quietly or play on their phones. Who would be in the mood to experience any driving pleasure?

Therefore, the rapid popularization of unmanned autonomous driving in the family car industry was almost inevitable. Once it was born, it would immediately become the mainstream in the market.

Thus, this was the general trend. You could only follow the trend and could not reverse it, otherwise, you would be eliminated by the market and become historical dust.

The two cornerstones for realizing autonomous driving technology, the StarNet plan, were already under construction. Regarding electric vehicles supporting autonomous driving technology, Gao Nian also claimed that they would be launched within six months.

Faced with this situation, how could they not be shocked and inexplicably excited?

At this moment, whether it was the people at the scene or the netizens in the live broadcast rooms on the Internet, they all had a vague feeling in their hearts.

This feeling was that they were witnessing a historical turning point, witnessing the great process of human civilization moving from one stage to another.

“Clap clap clap clap clap clap—”

Crazy applause rang out like thunder, and people were all excitedly applauding.

They applauded Geek Technology for building such a great StarNet, and they applauded Gao Nian for proposing such an ambitious StarNet plan.

In response, Gao Nian smiled and then continued to introduce other details of the StarNet plan and StarNet satellites.

Time passed quickly like this. Half an hour passed, and the press conference was about to reach its most critical moment.

This critical moment was the simultaneous launch of 115 StarNet satellites by the Starship rocket.

After all, the Starship rocket behind the press conference venue had been standing there for a long time, waiting specifically for the launch command.

“God, please be sure to prevent the Starship rocket from launching successfully!”

At the scene of the press conference, Musk sincerely prayed to the illusory God in his heart.

After all, faced with this situation, Musk could only turn to the illusory God to prevent the construction of the StarNet plan.

At the same time, company presidents all over the world, like Musk, prayed to the gods in their hearts, hoping that their gods could make the Starship rocket launch fail.

However, their hopes were destined to be a joke, because next, as the Starship rocket was successfully ignited, it did not explode in mid-air as they had hoped, turning into fireworks.

After the first stage rocket of the Starship rocket completed its mission, it successfully returned to the corresponding position according to the sequence simulated countless times, completing the recovery of the first stage rocket.

The same was true for the second stage rocket. Everything was so orderly. Geek Technology successfully launched 115 StarNet satellites into space.

Among them, the orbital position of the first batch of StarNet satellites was the closest orbital position to the Earth. After all, the closer to the Earth, the better the signal.

Geek Technology naturally wanted to take advantage of its advantages and seize these excellent low-Earth orbit positions first, occupying the space so that others would have no way to go.

It is worth mentioning that although low-Earth orbits close to the Earth have the advantages of clearer pictures and stronger signals, they are not without their disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that the closer to the Earth, the more severely it is affected by the atmosphere. After all, there is also a thin atmosphere in space in low-Earth orbit.

These thin gases will reduce the speed of these low-Earth orbit satellites, eventually causing the satellites to fall to Earth.

To avoid this, it is necessary to use all-electric propulsion technology to push the satellites to move continuously to maintain the corresponding position, so as not to fall on the Earth.

However, constantly using all-electric power to propel the satellites to move naturally requires a lot of energy, and the satellite's energy source can only be obtained from the sun.

Therefore, the solar panels of the satellites are very important. The higher their energy acquisition efficiency, the longer the satellites can last in low-Earth orbit.

In this regard, Geek Technology also had a stroke of luck. Currently, the solar panels used by the StarNet satellites are monocrystalline silicon solar panels.

The difference is that Geek Technology has developed an HBC structure, which can increase the power generation efficiency of solar panels from 18% to 26.6%, an increase of 8%.

Just this 8% increase in power generation efficiency allows the StarNet satellites to last longer in low-Earth orbit.

According to Geek Technology's estimates, the StarNet satellites closest to the Earth in low-Earth orbit will be able to last for more than 10 years.

The StarNet satellites farthest from the Earth can last for more than 20 years, which alone is enough to save a lot of money on replacing StarNet satellites.

After all, replacing one StarNet satellite is not much money, but the money to replace 13,000 or even 42,000 StarNet satellites is quite astonishing.

Therefore, the longer the service life of these StarNet satellites, the lower the construction and operation costs of the StarNet plan will be on average.

This can also be regarded as an invisible advantage of StarNet satellites, and it is also one of the places where StarNet crushes Starlink.

However, these are all things of the future. At this time, the global media did not spend much ink on this aspect.

After all, there were too many major news stories to report at this press conference.

So, domestic and foreign news media reported related news in the form of news headlines.

“The Deadly Crisis of the Beautiful Country: The Terrible Consequences After the Completion of China's StarNet Plan!”

This was the headline of Fox News in the Beautiful Country.

“Beware of the fact that low-Earth orbit resources are occupied by Geek Technology!”

This was the news headline of Yahoo News.

“Global drivers, deliverymen, and takeaway riders may suffer massive layoffs?”

This was the news headline of the London Daily.

“The world's largest rocket officially launched successfully!”

This was the news headline of NBC News.

At the same time, domestic and foreign newspapers also reported related news by coincidence.

These news stories had different focuses, but without exception, they all had no good attitude towards Geek Technology and China.

After all, whether it was StarNet satellites or the StarNet plan, these were not good things for them.

Under such circumstances, where would overseas media have any good words?

Therefore, with the successful launch of the Starship rocket and the StarNet satellites launched to the designated location, they did not celebrate it, nor did they focus on reporting its significance.

They all carried out a de-emphasis treatment. Even if they wanted to report related news, they reported negative news, making people hate Geek Technology and hate China.
