- United Technologies has a one-week Christmas holiday and a Spring Festival holiday, but many researchers do not celebrate Christmas and Spring Festival. New Year's Day, a global holiday without any ethnic or religious cultural overtones, has become the company's most important holiday. Most employees enjoyed their week-long vacation, but management didn't get much time to rest.
The establishment of Wilson State is a milestone and involves many adjustments for United Technologies. The company's penetration into the northern regions and desert areas began in a planned manner in the first year after Wesson Technology moved to Australia. This was Zhang Kai and Howard's plan, and Li Zhuang did not know about it before.
The districts under Kimberley City have very close relations with the company's agricultural group, tourism group and logistics group. They are not averse to joining the Weizhou, but Halls Creek City, with a population of less than 10,000, has some small problems. Da Mian has already brought people with him. Processed in the past.
"Da Mian, how is the situation?" Li Zhuang was a little worried.
"It's not a big problem. I plan to let this city govern itself first. Then they will ask us for help in the future. These people really don't make people worry about it. I have to run around in such a hot day," Da Mian panted over there. .
The cold wind in K City in January is biting, but it is just the opposite in Weizhou. The difference in seasons between the northern and southern hemispheres has taken many researchers several years to adapt.
"Take your time, our main purpose this time is to obtain legal status and sort out the increasingly troublesome tax and supervision issues," Li Zhuang thought openly.
"Haha, I thought you really planned to be the king," Da Mian said with a smile.
"Tch, what time is it now? I still want to play the same tricks as before. I'm out of my mind," Li Zhuang countered. The two chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone, and the computer expert continued to do his own thing.
It¡¯s nothing major. There are many talents in the company and all work is being carried out in an orderly manner. With less selfishness, you can do things easily without having to think about it over and over again, let alone worrying about big troubles.
The company¡¯s security department has transferred some core employees to the police stations in cities under Weizhou, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also expanded its recruitment scope from company employees and family members. Some parts that overlap with the powers of state and municipal governments are being branched off, leaving the police department to handle trivial matters, and the Ministry of Security and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to strengthen internal control of the company.
In view of the increasing scale of the Institute of Applied Physics and the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, the city of Wiesen expanded eastward and established a district for each of the two institutes, Baker District and Flins District, each covering an area of ??2,000 square kilometers. The Institute of Theoretical Physics also expanded eastward, covering an area of ??3,500 square kilometers. The adjusted Wesen City covers an area of ??20,000 square kilometers and can already meet higher requirements for research.
After the establishment of Weizhou, Andreev joked at an internal meeting that the "Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute" was hard to pronounce and hard to pronounce, so it was better to call it WSA. He just talked casually, but he didn't expect the management to be very interested, so "wsa" became the code name of the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.
Weizhou is a member of the Australian Federation. Canberra has the obligation to ensure internal security, and taxes are not so easy to collect. The Australian Army stationed on the periphery did not withdraw and stayed in a nearby base. After all, this is also Australian territory. Xinwei City, which has expanded to an area of ??20,000 square kilometers, has further strengthened its security capabilities.
These soldiers all know that United Technologies Corporation is supporting them, and WLMs is responsible for the maintenance of their helicopters and heavy weapons. The living conditions at the base are comparable to those in Xinwei City. Apart from the self-contained daily training, the rest is no different from the company security department. Many retired people crossed the isolation zone and became employees of the security department in a blink of an eye. This made Canberra very depressed. The Army has actually become a security training base for United Technologies Corporation.
There are no side effects, and this side effect makes people feel very funny and helpless.
The security forces of the military base are very familiar with the employees of the security department. They have heard about www.piaotia.comasa more than once, the Russian Space Agency rsa or rka, the European Space Agency esa, the Chinese Space Agency cnsa, the Japanese Space Agency jaxa, etc. Many people in the aerospace industry call jaxa jsa or jasa, but because jsa has long been occupied by others and is famous, the official cannot continue to use it. The English literal translation of the unique name jaxa is Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the official Japanese name is Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Li Zhuang was often away, but Zhou Qisen had to stay in the office most of the time. He received an aggressive question from the Australian Prime Minister, asking why he was not called asa? The federal government has transferred so many experts to the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology. Although Canberra is not involved in specific matters, there is an agreement that this space agency should be called asa, the Australian Space Agency, rather than wsa as a local government.
The so-called wsa is just an internal name, and the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology is the official name. Zhou Qisen was confused. It was rare that the Prime Minister had lost his temper this time. He was not like his usual mature self. It must have touched some nerve in him. This Prime Minister has been interested in aerospace since he was a child. Last time, he assigned relevant researchers toIt is probably his dream to merge into Wesson Technology.
Australia once had the ability to design and build satellites. It started very early and was the fourth country after Citigroup, Russia and France. After 1967, Australia's policies went awry. Perhaps some forces were causing trouble, and local capital was relatively weak back then. A few years ago, Australia started the "Australian Aerospace Research and Development Plan", the so-called ASRP. However, knowledgeable people know that with only a billion Australian dollars in funding, it is a drop in the bucket and it is far from being possible to develop manned spaceflight.
After Wesson Technology moved to Australia, its almost reckless aerospace technology research progressed rapidly, driven by huge amounts of funds and crazy talent recruitment. This made the ASRP plan executives feel desperate. The gap between the two sides was not even a tiny bit.
"But the abbreviation ASA has been used by others for a long time, such as the Citi Statistical Association, the Citi Acoustical Association, etc. How about we use aasa instead?" Li Zhuang hesitated when he received a call from Zhou Qisen. He liked abbreviations, one of the strengths of alphabetic languages, although they were often repetitive.
"It doesn't matter. There are many abbreviations with the same name, and even the names are repeated. As long as we are strong, when people mention asa, the first thing they think of is the Australian Space Agency, not other units. I think it is better to use asa, and we can compare in the future. , let¡¯s see who is more powerful,¡± the president disagreed.
When Li Zhuang heard Zhou Qisen say, "Let's see who is more powerful," he couldn't help laughing. The other person was confused and muttered, "What's so funny? If you don't object, I'll retaliate. You're such a weirdo, so this is hilarious."
The asa was established on New Year's Day, when Canberra officially announced the establishment of the Australian Space Agency. The Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute and the Xinwei Space Center were officially independent from Wesson Technology and became co-managed institutions of the Wilson State and the federal government.
The actual management of asa has not changed and is still implemented by Wesson Technology. Canberra is trying to gain a reputation, and of course it is also trying to cultivate the feelings of United Technologies employees towards Australia.
This is the first private aerospace project to be named in the name of a country. Canberra is not stupid. They know the troubles that may arise, and of course they will also enjoy the benefits. How can outsiders know the bitterness and helplessness involved?
As Li Zhuang expected, the media repeatedly discussed the abbreviation of the Australian Space Agency. Some said it was good, some said it was bad, and some people simply cited Zhou Qisen's reason.
A lot has happened during this period, but all departments of the company are operating independently, not much different from usual. The Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology has been very busy. The satellites launched on September 10 were working normally. They launched three communication satellites code-named UTCS003, UTCS004 and UTCS005 in mid-October, mid-November and before Christmas. United Technologies' satellite communications system covers the world.
In the six months since Citi announced that it would conduct a faster-than-light test, the density of satellites and spacecraft launched by various countries has increased a lot. Everyone joined in the fun. Even China gritted its teeth and launched a manned spacecraft to take a look near Citi's space assembly plant. .
The number of launches from the Xinwei Space Center is somewhat frequent, but except for the second one, which can attract some attention, not many people care about the next two launches except for the intelligence departments within the relevant work scope and media organizations that like to join in the fun. The soldiers at the army base next to the space center enjoyed several spectacular launch scenes, but later they felt bored.
United Technologies Corporation established Wesson Satellite Management Services Company in November last year. Its main tasks are to manage satellites, undertake satellite development and launch orders, and provide communications, television broadcasts and other data services. The five satellites of the UTCS series are powerful. In addition to plasma engine testing, such a big guy mainly provides various communication equipment. There are many transponders on the satellite. In order to facilitate Australia's communications and television broadcasts, five transponders were rented to Canberra at an almost free price. This is in return for Canberra's support of the Xinwei Space Center.
Within the Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology, the Aerospace Vehicle Research Institute is a giant unit, with a total number of employees in the satellite laboratory of about 2,200. Except for skilled personnel poached from various countries and masters transferred from the Institute of Applied Physics, there are very few novices.
In the early days of the construction of the Xinwei Space Center, Canberra transferred a lot of people here. These people have now been integrated into the company, and they don¡¯t want to go back on their word. There is a price to pay for recruiting talents. Canberra will always be the federal government no matter what, and the agreement is there.
Last September, the space center launched a satellite for the first time. The Prime Minister of Australia and other high-level government officials rushed over to inspect the space. Li Zhuang accompanied him to watch the first rocket launch of the Xinwei Space Center.
After the successful launch, the satellite laboratory¡¯s location became the main target for inspections. The gathering of high-end talents and complete research instruments and equipment made Canberra envious. The instruments and communication equipment developed by the company also surprised there. After the second successful launch in mid-October,??Canberra asked the company to develop a returnable land and resources survey satellite, and decided to establish a satellite force to cooperate with the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute.
Both sides get what they need, and the company¡¯s senior management did not hesitate. Returnable satellites are not difficult for the company. There have been major events in the past few years, and the company has acquired many experts. Many of the people who took the initiative to come to our door last year had worked in relevant departments of major aerospace countries. They left the space agency for various reasons, but their standards were not bad.
NASA¡¯s faster-than-light test that attracted global attention is over. The media is thinking about how to find a topic, but unexpectedly another news comes to their doorstep. ASA was laughed at for a long time by institutions using the same abbreviation, but a year later they couldn't laugh anymore.
After ASA tested the nwd-1a rocket with vertical takeoff and landing and single-stage orbit in January, it began to launch satellites frequently, which often became a topic in newspapers. This forces other institutions whose abbreviation is asa to reduce the frequency of use of the abbreviation, especially in daily life, so as not to cause misunderstanding by others.
Li Zhuang has been very angry recently because there are hundreds of brats named "Lizhuang" in China. Adults are just the opposite. I don't know how many "Li Zhuang" have been changed to other names.
