online, tang rui was unaware of the situation.

he was in a meeting room, listening to the presentation by the head of the lunar network project, professor qian.

yes.

it was the same professor qian who was a top expert in the field.

according to the latest lunar network project design, the relay satellites were undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. additionally, there was another project contemplating the idea of transforming relay satellites into transfer stations, not just for signal transfer, but as actual space transit stations.

but this project was still in the verification stage, so the work on the relay satellites for the lunar network project had to continue.

the upgraded relay satellites needed to not only enhance information processing capabilities but also significantly increase bandwidth.

thanks to the breakthrough in graphene materials, the team in microelectronics had begun researching terahertz signal transmission issues.

at the moment, the progress was rapid.

after all, they had a strong foundation in this area, and it wasn’t a recent initiative.

“development of millimeter-wave and terahertz wireless communication technology” – this was part of the 863 program.

in addition to that, there was the ministry of science and technology’s special program “terahertz wireless communication technology and systems” and the natural science foundation’s mobile network special program “terahertz core devices and transceivers.”

tang rui didn’t know about this until the meeting. he was quite startled, to say the least. while everyone else was discussing issues like security, communication, signal quality, and transmission frequencies, he couldn’t help but wonder why they weren’t considering weapon systems.

previously, satellites couldn’t carry weapons due to severe energy limitations. besides, satellites weren’t meant to last forever, and adding a weapon system to them was hardly cost-effective.

but things had changed now. the optical properties of graphene materials made it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of the satellite’s solar panels. with reduced satellite weight, it was entirely possible to equip them with laser systems or other weaponry.

however, this point had been completely overlooked during their discussion, and tang rui found it puzzling.

“well, your perspective is valid and worth considering,” one of the professors acknowledged.

“indeed, it’s something we should think about, but we still need to address the previous issues first.”

“as for those previous issues, i still think the original approach…”

after a brief pause, the group of experts quickly shifted the conversation back to the earlier topics.

tang rui sat on the side, silently observing.

“do you have any ideas?” suddenly, professor yu turned to tang rui and asked.

huh? his ideas? what kind of ideas could he have? he was thinking about what to have for lunch just a moment ago.

as he was about to tell professor yu that he was here to observe, and not to participate in the discussions, he noticed that the roomful of experts was curiously looking at him.

he hadn’t spoken during the entire morning, and nobody had paid much attention to him. but now, with professor yu’s question, they were all quite interested in what tang rui had to say.

“uh… i have an idea, but i’m not sure if it’s relevant or appropriate,” tang rui said with a shy smile.

“please go ahead. this is a discussion, and you’re welcome to share any thoughts,” one of the experts encouraged him.

“right, feel free to share. we’re discussing, and there’s no need to worry about being wrong,” another expert chimed in.

the big shots seemed welcoming and open to his input.

tang rui explained, “i was listening to your discussions, and it seems like you’ve covered aspects like security, communication, signal quality, and transmission frequencies. but i noticed that nobody mentioned weapon systems. with the breakthrough in graphene materials, we can significantly enhance the efficiency of satellite solar panels. combined with reduced satellite weight, it’s entirely possible to equip them with laser systems or other weaponry. so, why not consider integrating weapon systems into the satellites?”

he had simply shared what was on his mind.
