Chapter 640: The Huge Shortage of Skilled Talent in Relevant Fields

The high-powered Z-wave satellites needed for space travel, in terms of construction costs, can certainly be considered "value for money."

Because they only involve Z-wave technology and the manufacturing techniques of light energy receivers and converters, and the required materials are mostly concentrated in the monocrystalline silicon thin films of the Z-wave ports and the receivers, the satellite simply needs to operate in space orbiting Earth, which is not nearly on the same cost scale as the Energy-Gathering Satellite.

Through various materials and manufacturing cost calculations, Zhao Yi easily estimated a figure—below 500 million RMB, with the main costs focused on compression materials and launching.

However, high-powered Z-wave satellites aren't something that can be built on a whim; their construction must go through approval from higher-ups, and sometimes even a senior-level meeting is needed to make the decision.
