Chapter 3189

After locking onto the Kansai oil field, a group of people in Northern Europe immediately formulated subsequent division of labor.

Li Yalin's work was busy continuing to train the AI model, and at the same time began to let the AI model screen industrial and mining enterprises across Africa according to his previous ideas.

Because Li Yalin had judged before that the Qing Clearing Society's stations are likely to be large enterprises such as industrial and mining enterprises with huge scale and relatively closed, only in this way can they hide thousands of dead soldiers and their families.

There are many enterprises with this scale, so he also has to use many other conditions to screen, such as star enterprises, enterprises with international well-known capital participation, enterprises that always have various accidents all day long, and enterprises that frequently appear in the news or are concerned by local governments because of positive or negative news, basically can be excluded first.

Now with Skyline's satellite image data for more than ten years, and analyzing suspicious clues based on the changes in satellite images of target enterprises now and in the past ten years, the opportunity to lock onto other dead soldier stations has also changed from almost zero before to very promising.

And Lang Hongjun, who is deeply involved in communication-related technologies, began to sort out Skyline's existing business. Skyline also has great help for the development of Wanlong Palace in the Middle East, and can take the development of surrounding warlords and other forces into view. With the AI model repairing images in high definition, even if the other party invests in a small mortar in what position, it can be seen clearly.

As for Ye Chen, he is waiting for the next dead soldier station to be locked onto before going to give the Qing Clearing Society a surprise.

And before the dead soldier station was located, he planned to take Lin Wanqiu to Northern Europe, because he had inquired before that he wanted to take Lin Wanqiu to see the aurora.

Although the territory of Northern Europe is not very large, the north is a long and narrow strip stretching for thousands of kilometers like a tadpole's tail. Ye Chen and Lin Wanqiu decided to go to a small town called Ling'en, which is already very close to the Arctic Circle and is a good place to watch the aurora.

From Osu City to Northern Europe, the distance is one thousand kilometers. Airplanes are the best means of transportation, but Lin Wanqiu seems to have no interest in taking an airplane.

She suggested to Ye Chen to drive there. Northern Europe is sparsely populated and the road conditions are very smooth. It takes more than ten hours to drive more than a thousand kilometers, and the physical quality of the two is different from ordinary people, so whether driving or taking a car, more than ten hours is not a problem.

Although the time is not so generous, Northern Europe is sparsely populated, and there are not many flights, and even if they arrive in a big city in the north, they still have to continue to rent a car to reach the small town to watch the aurora. Comprehensively, the time consumed is likely to be longer than driving, so the two decided to drive the off-road vehicle last time.

In order to save time, Ye Chen set off after dinner. The journey of more than ten hours is expected to arrive at noon the next day. Ling'en is close to the Arctic Circle. Although there is no polar night there now, the sunshine time has been shortened to almost negligible, so it doesn't matter what time it is. After all, most of the day is dark.

Before setting off, he went to see Helena first, told her his itinerary for the next few days, and then entrusted her to take care of his second uncle, Li Yalin, Lang Hongjun, and others.

Helena was somewhat surprised to hear that Ye Chen was going to take Lin Wanqiu to Northern Europe to see the aurora. She really didn't understand why Ye Chen was so considerate to the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl beside him, and even brought her with him even for very important things.

She always felt that the relationship between the two seemed not simple, but once she thought that the other party was only seventeen or eighteen years old, she felt that she was thinking too much.

So, she said: "Mr. Ye, please rest assured, I and other members of the royal family will definitely take good care of Mr. An and the others here."

As she spoke, Helena added: "By the way, Mr. Ye, the Northern European royal family has a vacation house in Ling'en, which was built by my grandmother's father when she was a child. It is the best place to watch the aurora, and the royal territory is dozens of kilometers around, without other people disturbing. It has not been broken for maintenance over the years. If you don't dislike it, you can take Miss Lin to live there. The house is very clean. If you feel cold, you just need to burn the fireplace."

Ye Chen didn't expect that the Northern European royal family still had a vacation house in the small town he was going to. It sounded like it was indeed much easier, so he said: "I will ask Xiao Wan's meaning in a while."

Helena nodded and said: "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to get the key there. You can discuss it with Miss Lin on the way. If she is interested, you two can go directly."

Ye Chen felt that Helena's proposal was very reasonable, so he didn't be polite anymore. Helena soon asked the housekeeper to bring a set of keys. The housekeeper told him that the vacation house Helena mentioned was actually a manor located on a gentle slope on a small hill in the suburbs of Ling'en. The entire hill and the large area of land around it belonged to the Northern European royal family. In the early years, the Northern European royal family had greater power and relatively loose economic conditions, and the land price in Northern Europe was low. The old emperor bought that piece of land for his daughter to watch the aurora conveniently, and then built a Northern European-style vacation villa.

Because that vacation villa carried quite a few childhood memories of the old empress, so although the Northern European royal family had fallen quite a bit in the past few decades, they had always maintained that vacation villa very well. Helena also occasionally went with her family when she was a child.

Ye Chen accepted the key, brought a few changes of clothes with Lin Wanqiu, and drove away from the palace. The data center happened to be in the north of Osu City. An Kaifeng, Li Yalin, and Lang Hongjun were all here, so Ye Chen and Lin Wanqiu went there on the way.

Ye Chen greeted them and told them to find Helena for small things and find himself for big things.

Before leaving, Lang Hongjun found Ye Chen and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, I have something to discuss with you."

Ye Chen asked him: "What's wrong, brother?"

Lang Hongjun said: "In the past two days, I have roughly sorted out the situation of Skyline's software and hardware and database. I found that since Musk's SpaceX began to undertake commercial satellite launch business, Skyline has always handed its own remote sensing satellites to SpaceX for launch. It can be counted as SpaceX's earliest customer and also the customer who supports them the most. Their cooperative relationship with SpaceX has always been very close, so I want to ask you, can you say hello to Skyline, hang Wanlong Palace's communication satellite under Skyline's name, and then through Skyline's deep cooperative relationship with Musk's SpaceX, let SpaceX help launch our communication satellite into space orbit."

As he spoke, Lang Hongjun added: "Satellite launch is after all a field with very strict control, and the threshold for launch is very high. There are no less than 10,000 enterprises that can build various satellites in the world, but the enterprises that provide third-party satellite launch services and launch satellites into orbit add up to no more than ten. There are also many requirements for satellite-owned enterprises, and a series of qualifications must be reviewed. If there is no suitable enterprise to hang on, Wanlong Palace's satellites will have to find a shell company to hang on again in the future, and the cooperative relationship between the new company and companies like SpaceX needs to be re-established, which is certainly not as convenient as hanging directly on Skyline."

After Ye Chen finished listening to his description, he nodded slightly: "This should be no problem. I will communicate with the person in charge. Brother, do you have any other needs?"

Lang Hongjun thought for a while and said: "If the launch problem is simplified, I want to increase the number of satellites to more than thirty. The miniaturization of current communication satellites is done very well, and the cost is relatively low. Even SpaceX's Starlink satellites are only a few hundred thousand US dollars each. In the future, the total number of Starlink satellites will be more than 10,000 or even 30,000 or 40,000. However, it faces global users. If we want to solve Wanlong Palace's own global communication and Internet access problems, dozens of low-orbit satellites are enough."

Ye Chen nodded: "Since getting Skyline's data, it has indeed further improved my expectations for satellites. As long as the effect we expect can be achieved, let alone launching dozens, even if we need to launch 10,000 in the future, it is not a problem. Brother, you can let go and do it. If you need money, I will give it; if you need people, I will pay for you to recruit yourself; if you need relationships, I will help you find them, striving to launch our satellites next year."

Lang Hongjun said with some excitement: "If the launch can jump the queue, our satellites can enter orbit in the first quarter of next year. Communication satellites themselves do not have high technical content. It is like buying a computer to assemble hardware. The supply chain can solve it. The difficulty lies in the launch, as well as the use after launch, and the adaptation of software. These are my specialties. I am confident that I can do it well. In addition, I have already contacted some former classmates in the United States. They are about the same as me, and they are also facing layoffs and salary cuts. I have probed their tone. If the salary and treatment are suitable, they are willing to start over. After the people are sorted out, I want to set up an R&D and online team in the United States, specifically responsible for developing our own communication system and the work after the subsequent satellite enters orbit."

Seeing that he had analyzed it very comprehensively, Ye Chen must have been confident, so he said: "Brother, you can let go and do these aspects. I can set up a venture capital fund in the United States at any time. When the time comes, you will come forward to set up a start-up enterprise, and I will invest in your angel round. In this way, you can recruit your previous colleagues and do things together."

Lang Hongjun said quickly: "Mr. Ye, my previous financial situation was very bad. The FBI and tax departments can check it very clearly. Not long after leaving the United States, suddenly getting an angel investment will inevitably arouse suspicion. My old colleagues will definitely not be able to figure it out. It is better for you to set up a satellite communication business directly within Skyline, and then I will serve as the business person in charge on the bright side. In this way, not only will outsiders not suspect, but my former colleagues will not suspect, and the point is that SpaceX will not suspect even more!"
