Chapter 967 Ocean One project, upgrade!


    ?This photo of Chang Haonan directly derailed the entire meeting and even the direction of the entire Ocean One project.


    ??? Before he could finish the rest of his speech, Space Administration Director Luan Wenjie immediately stopped the report meeting.


    Originally, Ocean One was just a practical project involving the military and civilians and aimed at verifying basic technologies.


    No one even expected it to perform any specific functions.


    The real highlight lies in the launch of the second batch of ocean series satellites after these verification technologies have been implemented respectively.


    Therefore, although the topic of Haiyang-1 has been discussed many times at the level of the Science and Technology Commission, the two national bureaus at the deputy ministerial level, the State Oceanic Administration and the China National Space Administration, have been the real long-term leaders of the project.


    But it is enough to see from this point that this project is of focus but the specific level is not high.


    The key is its potential.


    ?However, no one expected that the potential that was originally planned to be redeemed in the next ten years was suddenly advanced today.


    In other words, based on the algorithm designed by Chang Haonan, if China currently has enough human, material and financial resources to directly build a network of more than 20 ocean remote sensing satellites, it will be able to immediately lock US aircraft carriers on a global scale. Location target too.


    But here’s the problem.


    It’s a bit early.


    Whether in terms of intentions or capabilities, China has no immediate plans to break up with the Americans.


    ??With no suitable strike means at hand, what if we can locate the location of the US aircraft carrier?


    Furthermore, after a huge black swan incident, the other party’s attention was finally drawn to the Middle East. In the next period of time, the main focus will be on stealing development.


    There is no need to impose too much unnecessary stimulation on Americans.


    Hence, the content of today’s meeting, and the entire situation of Ocean One, must be kept confidential—


    Refers to a higher degree of confidentiality.


    In fact, Americans have always been wary of China’s attempts to establish a space-based ocean remote sensing system.


    ?The difficulties that Ocean One encountered in terms of hardware before were caused by the obstacles posed by the other party.


    Otherwise, it should have been launched more than half a year earlier.


    But there is still a difference between vigilance and vigilance.


    Let''s make an analogy.


    In the past, when I found out that China wanted to acquire the Haiyang-1 satellite, I felt that it was just like "someone was hiding weapons and armor."


    Belongs to big or small things.


    Especially China is not a soft persimmon, and it is impossible to break up over this kind of thing.


    However, if the other side discovers this set of image segmentation and positioning technology, it will be equivalent to hearing that someone ate a note from the belly of a fish, or that someone dug out a stone man with one eye from the river. I also heard that someone wrote a poem: "Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night, and the emperor''s star flutters in the sky"...


    In short, the nature is definitely completely different.


    Of course, since Chang Haonan chose to speak out today, he also recognized that the occasion was not large and the participants were of high level.


    Most of them are internal personnel of the spaceport.


    There are only two other navy leaders. As for the State Oceanic Administration, the only person in charge is Wang Shuguang himself.


    So, the main change lies in the changes in follow-up work.


    “Director Shuguang.”


    After Luan Wenjie hesitated for a moment, he looked at Wang Shuguang, who was presiding over the meeting with him:


    “In this current situation... I think, should we tighten the scope of specific information about Ocean One... including subsequent models of the entire Ocean series of satellites?”


    ??On paper, the ownership of Haiyang One belongs to the State Oceanic Administration, so any policy changes must be decided by the two of them together.


    ?Wang Shuguang was not originally from a military unit, so he was completely involved this time.


    ?Now that I was suddenly asked such a serious question, there was no way I could have any negative opinions. Naturally, I nodded at the speed of light:


    “I agree with Director Wenjie’s opinion.”


    In addition to being the head of the National Space Administration, Luan Wenjie is also one of the deputy directors of the Science and Technology Commission.


    Although the two positions have the same level, it is obviously better to say the latter.


    “Ocean One involves the specific situation of ocean remote sensing, and I am the only one in the Ocean Bureau who fully understands it.”


    After a slight pause, Wang Shuguang continued:


    "In addition, I think that based on the current situation, the military value of Haiyang-1 has far exceeded the value of marine scientific research. Is it possible to consider transferring the ownership of the satellite to the Navy...or the Remote Sensing Center? As long as our Oceanic Administration can Just share some of the non-sensitive data..."


    As a department leader, this is the first time in his career that he has actively pushed the resources in his hands outwards.


    ?Because the Haiyang-1 satellite has changed from a sweet potato to a hot potato for Wang Shuguang and even the entire Ocean Administration—


    It’s so scary.


    How is it that one minute you were identifying a few small squares that were harmless to humans and animals, and the next minute you were targeting an aircraft carrier?


    Isn''t this what we promised before?


    Isn’t it okay if I don’t serve you anymore?


    The result... ???It really doesn''t work.


    Luan Wenjie shook his head decisively:


    “Director Shuguang, do you think that at this juncture before the launch of the satellite, a major event like a sudden change of ownership suddenly occurs? Wouldn’t it mean that we don’t have three hundred taels of silver to tell others that there is a big problem with this satellite?”


    “Moreover, not only this one, but also the subsequent ocean series satellites were launched in the name of the Ocean Administration. After all, at least on the surface, our country is opposed to the militarization of space resources..."


    The more he spoke, the paler Wang Shuguang''s face turned.


    The latter also knew that today he was on a pirate ship.


    If you think about it further, I’m afraid it might be a bit difficult.


    Have no choice but to sigh and nod somewhat dejectedly.


    “But...don’t be too nervous.”


    Looking at Wang Shuguang, who was a little unsure, Luan Wenjie half comforted and half jokingly said:


    “The specific operation of the satellite must be the responsibility of the remote sensing center. You only need to sign when necessary and do not disclose the relevant information to others..."


    “Of course, of course.”


    ?Wang Shuguang wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead:


    “Cooperate with the work of brother departments, you should...”


    …


    “Comrade Haonan.”


    After barely calming Wang Shuguang’s mood, Luan Wenjie finally turned to Chang Haonan who had just returned to his seat from the podium:


    “After I return, I will write a specific report to my superiors. By then, the level of direct responsibility for the Ocean One project is likely to be further improved.”


    “According to the original plan, your Torch Group should only be responsible for cooperating with the Fifth Academy to complete the design of the onboard software program, subsequent software injection, and ground program design and maintenance work. Other departments will be responsible for completing it.”


    “But now the situation has changed. The space agency hopes to carry out long-term cooperation with Torch Group in the ocean series satellite project. What do you think, Comrade Haonan?”


    Although I am asking for Chang Haonan''s opinion, in fact, the answer is well known to both of them.


    ?Chang Haonan originally wanted to obtain more research resources through Ocean One.


    ?Even if these resources are not directly given to him, they will have many benefits for future plans.


    For example, the simplest one—


    Since the ocean surveillance system has been established, wouldn’t it be logical to develop a weapon and equipment that can accurately strike enemy large water targets thousands of kilometers away?


    This does not include the role that contour segmentation and image recognition technology may play in other fields.


    ?Hence, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.


    "no problem."


    Chang Haonan replied almost without thinking:


    “The algorithm and software parts can be left to our group and the comrades from the Fifth Aerospace Academy.”


    "but."


    ?Before Luan Wenjie responded, Chang Haonan changed the topic again:


    “I have a small request, I hope Director Luan can agree to it.”


    The former had an "I knew you still had a hand" look on his face and motioned for him to continue.


    Chang Haonan was not polite and immediately said:


    “I have just mentioned that the current contour segmentation algorithm is still in its infancy and can only simply identify the background area and at most one target area.”


    “When it comes to multiple targets and targets with less distinctive features, the effect will be compromised.”


    “So, we have previously established a pre-research group for segmentation and recognition of multi-phase, that is, multi-target images, and have achieved some theoretical results so far.”


    “Do you think...can we take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade the project level of Ocean One and turn our pre-research project into a positive one?”


    Hearing this request, Luan Wenjie did not answer immediately, but stared at Chang Haonan for a while.


    “Comrade Haonan, I have to tell you in advance.”


    ??He had already heard about Chang Haonan''s "many tricks" from Ding Gaoheng, and he did not dare to take it lightly:


    "Even if the level of responsibility for Ocean One is raised, the funding is unlikely to increase sharply in a short period of time, so you can''t arrange for a gold-eating beast to come in for me... Then you won''t be able to support me even if you sell my old bones. rise…"


    “Director Luan, you know me.”


    ?Chang Haonan made a candid appearance:


    “In terms of fund utilization, if I say it’s second, no one would dare to say it’s first.”


    “As for this new project team…actually you don’t need to allocate too much money. You just need to give priority to providing supercomputing resources and tilting the satellite payload slightly…”
