Chapter 390 Kuafu does not know what he can do and wants to chase the shadow of the sun (first update, please subscribe)

After finishing his journey in Taiping Province, on his way back to Chang'an, Li Nian made a special trip to Cape Mangkaliha.

Although Cape Mankaliha is not a planned industrial town, it does have the world's first space center - as early as two years ago, Li Yi'an signed an order to study rockets for space exploration.

Of course, to some extent, this is also part of the nuclear plan. After all, future nuclear weapons will be launched by ballistic missiles. Borneo's nuclear program was carefully concealed on the basis of "peaceful use", and ballistic missiles were no exception. Unlike the other world, almost no country except the Soviet Union is interested in ballistic missiles. Compared to V2, the United States prefers bombers, so that von Braun's group has been semi-idle in the United States. But even so, such top talents are still regarded as restricted by the United States. Although von Braun's team did not leave much, thanks to the early start, Borneo finally got a group of experienced personnel.

The space center at Cape Mankaliha is headed by Eugene Gesang, who was once the director of a jet propulsion research institute in the Third Reich. Under his leadership, the Nanyang space program has been steadily advancing in the past. .

When the convoy entered the heavily guarded Cape Mangkaliha, fellow driver Eugene introduced.

"... Cape Mangkaliha is the best launch site in the world. Its geographical location of 0.9 degrees north latitude, almost on the equator, has great benefits for rocket launches: the latitude is low, and the distance from the launch point to the orbit entry point is The voyage is greatly shortened, the orbital inclination angle with the same launch azimuth is small, and the energy required for apogee orbit change is small, which increases the payload of the synchronous orbit; there is a wide launch arc on the sea to the north and east; population, transportation, The weather conditions are also very ideal..."

In fact, although Li Yian is not familiar with space launch sites, he also knows that launch sites with lower latitudes can better utilize the earth's rotation, save more fuel and increase payload.

Another of the best launch sites in the world is the Kourou launch site in French Guiana, located at 5 degrees north latitude. Launching rockets from the equator can significantly save fuel, increase transportation capacity, and make space exploration more reliable and efficient.

Li Yi'an asked after listening to Eugene Gesang's introduction.

"So where are we in our rocket construction?"

"Sir, in the past two years, we have still focused on learning. Dr. Gertrop, who is responsible for rocket development, is guiding our people to learn the principles and structure of the V2 missile."

Gertrop was the chief designer of Germany's famous V2 missile guidance system. Well, this guy was taken away from his home by the Russians in history, because the Russians gave them an order that if they couldn't build a missile within 2 years, everyone would be exiled to Siberia, so Gottrop worked very hard, maybe Because he was too devoted to his work, once when he was working, Gertrop accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the missile fuel tank. It completely dissolved in just 10 seconds. At that time, everyone around him could only watch. This scene.

Fortunately, they quickly produced the missile within a limited time limit and helped the Russians train a team to design and manufacture missiles. It can be said that it was precisely because of the outstanding work of those German experts that the subsequent intercontinental missiles, artificial satellites and Gagarin were developed.

On the other side of the ocean, von Braun sent humans to the moon. It was also during the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union that the level of human science and technology was rapidly improved, ultimately achieving the great development of human civilization.

And now... Borneo also has its own space program, starting from satellites to the moon, who knows?

The future has infinite possibilities.

When Li Yian and his party came to the office, through the small window on the door, they could see Gertrop teaching a group of young people. Most of these young people graduated from universities in Tangshan, and many of them studied abroad. Experience, while Gertrop was holding a pipe in his mouth and sometimes explaining it, these young people kept taking notes in their notebooks. Sometimes, Gertrop would turn around and gesture at the structures of several missile wall charts on the wall. He was rowing, speaking some words in German from time to time, while the young man next to him was taking notes.

In the past two years, they have compiled the V2 missile technical manual and production specification outline bit by bit.

"Two months ago, we completed the manufacturing of V2 missiles and conducted 8 test launches, but the success rate was only 50%. However, we reduced the cost of each V2 missile by 30%. Not only that, by improving the engine Redesigned, its range has been increased by 20%. Moreover, it was found through previous test launches that some of its control instruments are relatively bulky, so the missile often overturns and rolls over. We are currently cooperating in the Changhong Electronics Laboratory to develop the control Once the new control equipment arrives, we will proceed with further scientific experiments."

The scientific experiments that Hassan mentioned are not verbal, but real scientific experiments. According to the research schedule they have formulated, next year the space center will launch 20 V2 missiles to study the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, as well as take pictures of the earth's surface. , in the next few years, most of the research conducted here will be scientific research, and it will even be used as a manned flight test vehicle, carrying small animals such as monkeys into the sky.

But one thing is certain - all rockets can be used in missiles. When rocket technology matures, ballistic missile technology will naturally emerge. And as the scientific research team matures, they will surely be able to make new achievements in various fields. breakthrough.

"Let's increase reliability first. This is a learning process. We have plenty of time to learn."

Li Yian smiled at Hassan. "It will take five or six years to prepare first, and then send the artificial satellite into space, but before that, we must try our best to perfect our rocket technology."

Compared with countries such as the United States and the Soviet Union, what is Nanyang's biggest advantage?

There is no national defense pressure. It should be said that there is no strong national defense pressure. This also means that they have time to understand the V2 missile bit by bit, and based on this, develop a high-thrust rocket and eventually send satellites into space.

"Send satellites into space..."

Hassan was stunned for a moment and said wistfully.

"Sir, are you sure we want to move forward with the space program?"

The reason why he asked this was because as the chief designer of the V2 missile engine, he knew exactly what others were trying to do by copying the V2.

"Isn't that what we do all the time?"

Li Yian's expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice.

"Compared to missiles used to kill each other, human beings need to explore space. We humans have reached every corner of the world. Only space is still blank. Hegel once said, "A nation has some Only those who look up at the stars have hope; a nation that only cares about what is beneath its feet has no future. "In fact, the same is true for a nation, and the same is true for human beings. Only when we look up at the stars can we have hope, and space..."

Looking up at the sky, Li Yian said in a tone full of longing.

“In space, humans will end killing each other, and we will open up a new history together. We will send satellites to space, and then people to space, then the moon, Mars, and even we will go out of the solar system. …”

Staring at the blue sky, Li Yi'an seemed to have seen the vast universe at this time. Li Yi'an, who originally only wanted to deceive people with "peaceful use of space" and let these German missile experts work for human peace and human space dreams, At this moment, he seemed to understand Musk’s obsession with space.

This little broken ball is really too small. It rushes out of the earth, onto Mars, and even into space. That's where... is the future of mankind!

How overestimating this is.

Is it overestimation of one's abilities, or is one just harboring dreams?

Li Yian suddenly turned around and said.

"Let's call our space program "Kuafu"!"

Without waiting for Hassan to reply, he said again.

"Kuafu does not underestimate his ability, but he wants to chase the shadow of the sun... Today, we are Kuafu, and we also want to chase the shadow of the sun. Whether we do not underestimate our ability, we still work hard. I think time will give us the answer!"

Nanyang does not know what it can do and wants to chase the shadow of the sun!

It was on this day that Borneo had its own space program, the "Kuafu Plan". In the following decades, this plan continued and steadily developed under the promotion of Li Yi'an.
