Chapter 897 Finale
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

"In history, even such a developed country with so many bald eagles has not solved the problem, so I can't solve it myself." Faced with this choice, Liu Hai now doesn't know what to do.

The year 1997 passed smoothly and everything was heading in the right direction. These Southeast Asian countries were no longer plundered by Soros.

However, Liu Hai feels that it is unavoidable because the financial and funding structures of these countries are destined to cause problems sooner or later.

They will be harvested continuously by waves.

This is also a problem that such a country has to face. If it uses foreign capital, it will be harvested by others, but if it does not use foreign capital, it cannot develop.

If we fail to develop, we will fall further and further behind.

So many times we can only weigh the pros and cons. Even though we know there are risks, we still have to do it.

During the Chinese New Year in 1998, Liu Hai and his family did not go out to travel because it was too tiring to travel during the Chinese New Year.

There were people everywhere, so the family stayed at home studying traditional Chinese culture and playing mahjong.

Liu Hai started playing World of Warcraft.

The player data of World of Warcraft players is a bit weird.

In some Eastern countries, more World of Warcraft players choose the Alliance.

In European countries, more people choose tribes.

All this is due to one reason, that is, the king of Stormwind was replaced by the queen.

Most of the players from a large number of European countries chose the Horde, and their slogan was to break the Storm Kingdom and kill the Queen.

World of Warcraft is divided into domestic and international servers, and Liu Hai plays on the domestic server.

I chose the human race and the hunter profession.

During the New Year game map, players are everywhere doing tasks.

Liu Hai just wanted to play for fun, but there were already professional players in the World of Warcraft.

These professional players formed studios and unions.

The favorite thing to do in World of Warcraft is to fight bosses. Many guilds concentrate on fighting bosses on Saturdays and Sundays.

Playing World of Warcraft requires certain skills, especially when you don't have enough equipment.

I also play CS occasionally. CS has been greatly optimized and the map is no longer so rough, but the character models are still a little rough.

Although Liu Hai is playing games at home, the progress of the projects he is working on is constantly moving forward.

The stealth fighter is still undergoing ground testing because there are many systems involved, and it is a new generation of avionics system, which is one generation higher than the avionics system of the Black Shark fighter.

The development of a new generation of aerospace system has been completed, which can be used to upgrade the Black Shark fighter.

The construction of aircraft carriers has not stopped, and photos sent by Bald Eagle can often be seen.

In March 1998, the Hainan Commercial Satellite Launch Base was successfully completed and put into use.

The first launch is expected to be on April 1998, 4, and the surrounding area will be able to watch it.

And the rocket returns to land on the return platform at sea.

Because it is safer to return to the platform after landing at sea.

Of course, there are also places where you can watch from a closer distance, but you have to pay for tickets for these.

The B&Bs, inns and hotels around the rocket launch site have been fully booked.

Liu Hai and his family decided to go and see it, so they booked a room in a hotel that could see the rocket launch.

Of course, if you have money, you can also charter a yacht to go out to sea.

Some Eastern countries carried out six commercial satellite launches last year, all using rocket recovery technology.

This is enough to prove that some countries in the East are far ahead in this direction.

At this time, stealth fighters in some Eastern countries have already begun flight tests.

There are also clearer photos online because the flight test altitude allows for photography with a camera.

Many netizens feel that the canards on aircraft from some Eastern countries are a very backward design.

Because the Bald Eagle's fighter jet does not have canards.

In fact, each design has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of canards is that they improve the lift coefficient, stability, and maneuverability.

Moreover, canards are divided into movable canards and non-movable canards.

When the F22 was designed, its flight control technology was not up to the standard of controlling movable canards.

After all, the f22 was designed in the 80s, and the flight control of the aircraft's onboard computers at that time could not reach the level of abnormality it is now.

Of course, canards also have disadvantages. Any design has advantages and disadvantages, and it’s just a matter of trade-offs.

However, these pictures only show a yellow plane, and you can only see its appearance, but not more details.

Some countries in the East are now confident enough that even if they let you watch, you will not be able to learn from them.

Stealth fighter jets, not to mention in the 90s, even in 2020, people still can’t learn how to make them after seeing so many of them.

If you don't know the technical stuff, you don't know it. The material technology has not reached that level, so you can just watch it for fun.

This is the world's first reusable rocket launch event.

Hainan has attracted tourists from all over the world, and hotels, homestays, and even all places where you can see the launch site are crowded.

There are not only people from China, but more people from abroad.

It is used in languages ​​of countries all over the world.

Liu Hai and his family came on April 4th. From the balcony of their hotel room, they could clearly see the launch site in the distance.

Liu Hai looked down while wearing sunglasses and saw that there were people watching on all the balconies.

Although tomorrow is the official launch day, the assembly workshop has already started assembling the rocket.

The rocket launch is scheduled for 9 am tomorrow, and the rocket will return after launch.

The offshore landing platform can also be seen not very far away.

The offshore landing platform is relatively safe, and even if an accident occurs, it will not have much impact on the surrounding areas.

The higher authorities are very concerned about this public launch, and the relevant departments have already made strict arrangements.

Liu Hai believes that there are many experts from relevant fields coming to observe the launch mission.

Of course there are also places specifically for watching the launch, which are even closer.

Of course, the closer distance here does not mean very close, but it means it is within a safe range.

Another advantage of launching from Hainan is that heavy rockets can be launched.

Also, if something were to go wrong, the debris from the rocket would not harm anyone on the ground, but would fall into the sea.

As mentioned before, after the rocket is launched, due to the rotation of the earth, the rocket will move eastward away from the original launch location.

This is why we noticed in many videos that the rocket flies upward at an angle.

This is due to the influence of the earth's rotation.

Everyone in Liu Hai's family who wanted to watch came. Liu Hai himself knew what his junior sister meant and wanted to see the launch and recovery of the reusable rocket with his own eyes. After all, this was something his senior brother had presided over.

The temperature in Hainan in April is quite suitable. Of course, everyone mainly wants to watch the rocket launch, so even though the rocket is still being assembled in the factory, everyone is standing on the balcony watching with great interest.

In the early morning hours, the rocket began to move from the assembly plant to the rocket launch pad.

The scene attracted a lot of people taking photos and recording videos. Sometimes, even if they saw it with their own eyes, people in Western countries would say they didn’t believe it.

Liu Hai originally wanted to go and see it in person, but unfortunately he was not allowed.

There were also many people watching with binoculars from time to time.

At 1998 o'clock in the morning on April 4, 5, a rocket was successfully ignited at a rocket launch site in the South China Sea of ​​some Eastern countries.

A large amount of white smoke came out from under the rocket, and then it slowly rose into the air, getting faster and faster.

Until it finally disappears from everyone's sight, but everyone can go back and watch TV because it is also introducing it on TV.

This time, the rocket began to separate the first and second stages at a distance of about 80 kilometers.

Both the first and second stages have ignited successfully. Now everyone is most concerned about whether the return rocket can successfully land on the offshore platform.

Everyone looked up at the sky and waited quietly, because when the rocket returned, it would be a long distance away from the original launch site due to the rotation of the earth.

"Here they come!" Someone shouted, "Here they come!"

Everyone looked towards the east. Under the sunlight, there was a bright light. This light was getting closer and closer. It was a white rocket, and the engine below was still spitting fire. Now it looked weird, as if it was a video played in reverse.

The rocket hovered for more than three seconds at a height of about 200 meters from the offshore platform, and then landed on the offshore platform easily in an extremely smooth manner.

"This time it feels smoother than watching TV." The junior sister asked when she saw that the hovering time was shorter this time.

"The hovering time mainly depends on the remaining fuel in the rocket, because the fuel consumption of the rocket during operation is different from the plan."

"There is a surplus of fuel in the plan."

"If there is too much fuel left, it could cause an accident if something unexpected happens."

The junior sister nodded, and many foreigners below applauded, and some shouted loudly: o! o!

Liu Hai and his junior sister also applauded, and the audience who were watching closely stood up and applauded.

Although this technology is from certain Eastern countries, it is a milestone in the development of human civilization and mankind's journey into space.

The whole world praised this live broadcast of the launch because there was really nothing wrong with it.

Of course, this is a heavy blow to commercial launches in other countries around the world.

Other countries also face a problem: either they invest in this technology and compete with certain Eastern countries, but this also faces a problem, which is the first-mover advantage.

It may cost a lot of money for some Eastern countries to launch more mature technologies by then.

But if we don't invest, the entire market will gradually be controlled by certain Eastern countries.

Therefore, each country is in a difficult situation in this regard. Apart from rocket launch missions at the national level, it is too difficult to win back orders for commercial purposes.

The offshore rocket recovery platform was towed directly back to the factory.

In addition, there will be at least 15 commercial launch activities in Hainan this year, which will bring huge tourism income to Hainan.

Liu Hai and others returned to their respective posts, and the stealth fighter began flight testing. This also required a lot of hard work, testing bit by bit.

Especially while ensuring safety, do as many tests as possible to avoid various problems like the F35 that later had.

Hainan in some Eastern countries has become a famous tourist destination because here you can see recoverable rocket launches, which is unique in the world.

In June 1998, some Eastern countries announced the conduct of manned space flight tests.

In August 1998, Bald Eagle released a bird's-eye view photo of aircraft carriers of some Eastern countries.

Everyone was surprised to find that the aircraft carrier islands of some Eastern countries were much smaller than the current ones.

Because now some Eastern countries have removed many of the things on their aircraft carriers, so we can clearly see the general appearance of the aircraft carriers.

And this aircraft carrier does not have a ski-jump deck, but a straight-through deck.

What does an aircraft carrier with a small island mean? It means that it is very likely to be nuclear-powered, because conventionally-powered aircraft carriers have chimneys.

Of course, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers also have chimneys, because nuclear-powered aircraft carriers also have conventional diesel generators.

However, the chimney of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is much smaller. Because the chimney of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is small, its island is relatively smaller.

Along with the various shipbuilding equipment being dismantled bit by bit at the Dali Safety Site.

The catapult on the through deck is actually covered.

People all over the world are curious about where some Eastern countries get the catapult technology?
Steam catapult technology is something that no country will sell.

Moreover, the steam catapults produced by the factories in these countries have long been discontinued.

Soon in late September 1998, some Eastern countries announced the launch of the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier No. 9.

Sure enough, on October 10, the news reported this situation. As the water in the dock increased, the aircraft carrier was towed out of the dock and docked at the port of the shipyard.

The whole world is stunned by the speed of some Eastern countries.

In particular, the third in command covered Fat Goose with more than ten billion pounds, while the progress of his own aircraft carrier transformation was zero.

The third in command cursed Fat Goose internationally, saying that Fat Goose was deceiving itself. The aircraft carriers built by some Eastern countries were launched in less than two years, while I paid more than one billion pounds, and now it has been more than a year, and there has been no progress.

Of course, Fat Goose would not allow the third in command to ruin his reputation and immediately stated: Our engineers are robbed more than 600 times a year on average. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, slippers, clothes, and even tools are stolen.

Moreover, three major accidents occurred in the shipyard, all of which were fires, caused by the shipyard workers’ failure to comply with safety and fire-fighting disciplines.

In addition, the workers in the shipyard are of low quality and lazy, and they said that the money you paid is definitely not enough to pay more for the transformation of the aircraft carrier.

The third in command denied the above accusations, saying that it was Fat Goose that did not provide the key equipment for the aircraft carrier transformation.

The bald eagle feels numb. It is acceptable for some Eastern countries to build aircraft carriers, but it is unacceptable for them to use steam catapults right from the start. Do they want people to live like this?

Where the hell did you get the technology to create something this big right away?

Isn't technology changing from generation to generation? The second aircraft carrier should at least have conventional power and a ski-jump deck.

The third aircraft carrier is equipped with conventional steam catapults.

The fourth aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with steam catapults.

The only thing we know now is that the displacement of this aircraft carrier is more than 8 tons.

However, based on the photos taken with the big eyes of the bald eagle, relevant experts calculated that the displacement is at least more than 9 tons.

Because there are many reference objects in the photo, you can roughly see how big the aircraft carrier is.

Therefore, the No. 17 aircraft carrier of some Eastern countries has attracted the attention of military experts from all over the world.

Of course, these veteran generals in the country are also very much looking forward to it.

Liu Hai saw that his retirement time was approaching, but he still couldn't retire.

The main reason is that the flight test of the stealth fighter has not been completed yet, and it is currently undergoing flight testing in a plateau environment.

However, stealth fighter jets will be available soon, in just two or three months.

Liu Hai began to do the handover work step by step, putting down the burden on his shoulders one by one, submitting relevant work permits, access passes, and relevant materials, which were also very tedious tasks.

Finally, on January 1999, 1, the stealth fighter jets of some Eastern countries were officially finalized and put into mass production.

Liu Hai is retiring after unloading all the burdens on him!
Although I am retired, I am still working, mainly working for Fiberhome Technology Company and Heshun Airlines.

On April 1999, 4, some Eastern countries announced the launch of the power module of the space station, officially starting the construction of the world's second space station.

This space station also has two partners, Gallicus and Niu Niu. He also said in response to Russia that after his space station is retired, he also wants to join the space stations of certain Eastern countries.

Some countries in the East have expressed their welcome for all countries to work together.

The Bald Eagle also announced that it would build its own space station.

On August 1999, 8, certain Eastern countries simultaneously announced that the stealth fighter J-1 was put into service!

At the same time, it was announced that the No. 17 aircraft carrier would undergo sea trials!
On October 1999, 10, a 1-ton missile destroyer was launched by some Eastern countries.

The whole world had been prepared for the announcements made by certain Eastern countries, and was greeted with congratulations.

When you have one aircraft carrier, people around you will question you. When you have a second aircraft carrier, the voices of people around you will be much quieter.

When you have the third aircraft carrier, the other party will start to look at you silently.

When you have more aircraft carriers, you will be applauded.

When you have the world's most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the world's most advanced stealth fighter, you will be greeted with applause!
Because anyone who doesn’t applaud will be remembered!
In March 2000, a certain Eastern country sent two astronauts into a certain Eastern country's space station.

After seven days of work, they returned safely. This country is the third in the world to master a manned spacecraft.

On April 2000, 4, Liu Hai personally saw the first flow of water from the Red Flag Canal in Northwest China. At that time, the Red Flag Canal was already profitable.

In June 2000, some Eastern countries sent three more astronauts to the space station, two of whom were from Europe and one from some Eastern countries.

It returned safely after 15 days in orbit and completed a number of scientific experiments.

On October 2000, 10, some Eastern countries announced that the No. 1 nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was officially put into service, and the third nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was under construction at the same time.

On December 2000, 12, Liu Hai personally prepared a table of dishes to celebrate his old leader’s birthday. Several other leaders were also present, including Sun Aiguo.

"If I had known Xiao Liu's cooking was so delicious, I should have asked him to cook for me when he sent me the peppers!" The old leader laughed and said jokingly as he watched Liu Hai, who was wearing an apron, bring the dishes to the table.

"Xiao Liu is an expert in everything!"

"Xiao Liu, this is just like what some novels say, if you understand one principle, you will understand all principles."

"Ha ha!!"

At this time, the TV station was broadcasting an international news: "The state of Texas, the Bald Eagle, officially held a public vote to demand separation. In addition, California will also hold a public vote next month!"
