As something that has never existed before.

Although it will shock the world, it is just like that. After all, in terms of practical value, apart from promoting national power, it has little use at all - just like an expensive toy of a big country.

After all, honor is honor and reality is reality.

What will actually take humans to space?
It’s not about who is first or who is second, but who has more practical value?
After all, humans are always realistic.

What people care about is never who is the first to discover something, but who finally applies it to human life.

Not out of mind, but because this application affects everyone’s lives.

What kind of invention will be applied to everyone's life and change everyone's life? Hello

They are communication satellites, satellite positioning, meteorological satellites, remote sensing satellites... They are satellites with a wide range of applications, and only they can truly change human life.

As for many other high-tech things, they have nothing to do with most people.

Li Yi'an lived in an era where satellites were responsible for much of the convenience of life.

What would happen without artificial satellites?
In the 21st century, people almost dare not imagine what it will be like, but for Li Yi'an, who is used to life in that era, he has fully felt the inconvenience caused by the absence of artificial satellites.

Although he was shocked, Yuan Jialiu was not surprised. He also had a certain understanding of "Wanhu Corner" and knew that it was heading towards space step by step. But he didn't expect to have entered space now.

In the following time, Li Yian has been studying communication satellites there and looking through the information - of course these information were obtained after the system activated the skills. Now all he needs is to copy this knowledge.

Then Li Yian wrote down some of the key technologies on his notepad.
"Geosynchronous satellites need to be launched into a geostationary orbit 3.6 kilometers above the equator. Are there rockets with such powerful thrust in Nanyang now?"

"So, we have to follow up, but not just to go into space, but to go into space and change human life, the Olympics..."

Although Nanyang has no information in this regard at all, standing on the shoulders of historical giants, Li Yi'an still knows the future very well.

"Has Nanyang really entered space?"

"In order to launch communication satellites, a new, more powerful rocket needs to be developed, yes, that's it."

Taking the information from Li Yian's hand, Yuan Jialiu said in a shocked tone.

Looking at Yuan Jialiu, the top physicist in Nanyang, there are countless Chinese scientists whose talents have been buried in another world. Now, what Li Yian needs is to discover their talents.

"What is a communication satellite? Well, it should be a geostationary communication satellite! Yes, that's right. Only through it can signals be transmitted to the whole world in real time."

"Geostationary satellite?"

Li Yi'an, who was leaning in front of the case, wrote "communication satellite" on the notebook, and then said.

"So, the most important thing now is not to seize the first satellite, but the first communication satellite..."

“It’s not that Nanyang is going to march into space, but that humans will definitely march into space. According to the intelligence we have, the Soviet Union is conducting research in this area. They will not only launch artificial satellites into space, but also send humans into space. "

After issuing this question, he continued to write.

"If nothing goes wrong, Chang'an will host the Olympic Games in 60 years. Now TVs have entered thousands of households. In 7 years, TVs will enter most households. But without satellites, there will be no way to carry out TV broadcasts. Broadcasting, during a major event like the Olympics, people all over the world cannot watch the broadcast of the game at the same time, so we need one communication satellite, no, three geostationary satellites.”

Then Li Yian explained what a geosynchronous orbit satellite is.

"Geosynchronous orbit communication satellites are communication satellites launched into a circular orbit that is synchronized with the Earth's rotation period, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. The orbital altitude of this satellite is 35786 kilometers, and the intersection angle between the orbital plane and the Earth's equatorial plane is zero, that is, the satellite is launched above the equator and moves in the same direction as the earth's rotation. From any observation point on the ground, the satellite is stationary. It rotates in the same direction, and the time it takes to orbit the earth is exactly the same as the time it takes for the earth to rotate once. From the ground, this kind of communication satellite is called a geostationary communication satellite, also known as a geostationary satellite. Geostationary satellites can realize global satellite communications. Two tangent lines are drawn from the geostationary communication satellite to the earth, and the angle between the two tangent lines is 35800°. Such a geostationary communication satellite can provide communications for nearly one-third of the earth. Three geostationary communication satellites, 17.34° apart from each other, can cover most areas of the world and achieve global communications..."

While Li Yian was explaining his idea, Yuan Jialiu looked at the information in his hand. Although he knew that Li Yian was a scientist delayed by politics, he never thought that Li Yian had such profound attainments in many scientific fields.

"...There are several technical issues. The satellite must be positioned over the equator, so the latitude of the launch site must be as low as possible. This is our biggest advantage. The Wanhujiao Launch Center is located near the equator. This geographical location Advantage is our biggest advantage in launching satellites. In addition, we must develop a series of new facilities such as new ground measurement and control stations and maritime measurement and control ships. This is a huge system project. In terms of hardware and investment, there are no problems, except In addition to official investment, Asia Television will also provide certain funds, including satellite development costs.”

After that, Li Yian stared at Yuan Jialiu and said.

"The only question is, can our technological capabilities be able to develop communications satellites?"

In fact, this is what Li Yian is most concerned about. Although he can provide certain technical help, it determines the "short board effect" of technological development.

It’s only June of 1953!

Many basic sciences are still very backward, but they are not far behind. After all, mankind's first man-made communication satellite was launched in 1960.

"Um……"

Faced with your question, Yuan Jialiu did not answer immediately. Instead, he flipped through the information and thought about it. After a long time, he said.

"There are technical difficulties, and they are very difficult, but they should be able to be overcome. This requires the cooperation of many companies and universities, especially in electronics."

"No problem. No matter what is needed, all aspects will fully cooperate. I will let Qiu Hai connect with you and let him be your assistant."

The Qiu Hai mentioned by Li Yi'an is Qian Qiu Hai, deputy director of the official residence's secretary office. Although he does not seem to be well-known, he is an old man in the official residence and can coordinate all departments on behalf of the official residence.

"Assist me?"

Yuan Jialiu was stunned.

"right,"

Li Yian nodded and said.

"You are responsible for this project. Many people say that Nanyang's technological development originated from the Third Reich, but..."

Looking at Yuan Jialiu, Li Yian smiled.

"Now, we need to prove to them that Tang people are no worse than others!"

"We are indeed no worse than them. In recent years, both the international students who have come to Nanyang from various countries and the talents we have cultivated ourselves have been outstanding."

In an instant, Yuan Jialiu felt the great responsibility. He put down the information in his hand and said.

"The biggest difficulty in the entire project is the rocket. Can the rocket problem be solved?"

After thinking for a while, Yuan Jialiu said.

"In other words, how far has our rocket progressed?"
