The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 123 Make the impossible possible!

The so-called orbital launch is to first launch the satellite into a circular orbit about two to three hundred kilometers above the ground.

This track is called the parking track.

When the satellite crosses the equatorial plane, the final stage rocket ignites and carries the satellite into a large elliptical orbit. The apogee of this orbit is exactly 3.6 kilometers above the equator. This track is called the transfer track. When the satellite reaches apogee, the satellite engine starts and the satellite enters a circular synchronous orbit, also known as a geostationary orbit.

This is the entire process of orbital launch.

This process is quite complex and requires strong technical support.

However, this launch method is also the most economical.

Because, if you want to use a straight-line launch method, you need to set up a launch site on the equator. Second, it needs to consume more fuel.

As soon as Zhang Zhipeng finished speaking, the satellite had already reached a large elliptical orbit of 3.6 kilometers.

The navigation satellite engine started, and under manual control it quickly arrived in a geosynchronous circular orbit!

The satellite started to work normally, communication with the ground was smooth, everything was perfect!

The launch was successful!

Suddenly, warm applause erupted in the command room.

The staff were hugging and high-fiving each other!

Zhao Bingkun was so happy that he clapped his hands, turned to Zhang Zhipeng and said, "Okay!"

"Finally, I'm not disappointed. It's a good start to the new year for us!"

Zhang Zhipeng was naturally happy too.

However, he is calm now.

Because, until the three satellites are successfully networked, we cannot say success!

You still have to keep working hard.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "It's indeed a good start!"

"However, we can't be happy too early."

"We still have to continue working hard and strive to launch the remaining two satellites as soon as possible!"

"Only when the network is successfully established and the navigation mission can be smoothly started, it is called a staged success!"

Chen Kainan smiled and nodded and said: "Comrade Zhipeng is right!"

"The successful launch of the first navigation satellite can only be regarded as a big step towards success for us."

Zhao Bingkun scratched his head, grinned and said, "You are right!"

"I'm too shallow, haha!"

"However, even if it is only a small step of success, it is still worth celebrating!"

"When I return to the capital today, I'll treat everyone to a drink!"

The news of the successful launch of China's first navigation satellite was only lightly mentioned by CCTV on the 7 o'clock news and was not reported in a grand manner at all.

However, this news shocked the whole world.

Especially the elite group of Robin's family were completely pissed off.

They never dreamed that the first navigation satellite launched by Rabbit would be successful.

However, even so, it does not prevent the media from Robin's family from continuing to badmouth China's satellite navigation system.

Twist Times continued to publish an article: "Rabbit launches geostationary navigation satellite, why it is destined to fail."

A group of experts from the Robin family continued to analyze from various angles and concluded that using geosynchronous orbit to establish a satellite navigation network is simply unreliable!

Expert F said: "They want to launch geosynchronous satellites to establish a navigation system. This is simply unrealistic! Because geosynchronous satellites are in the same orbit, there is no way to position them!"

Expert A said: "The best satellite navigation system is in Robinland. Our GPS satellite navigation system does not use geosynchronous orbit. They suddenly want to find another way? I can only say that they may just be wasting time!"

Expert L said: "I have seen their intention. They want to use three geosynchronous satellites to build a simple satellite navigation system."

"But this is obviously nonsense! Their ideas may be wonderful, but they will encounter the most painful failure!"

Expert S said: "Let's wait and see! Maybe they have spent many years and spent countless money, but in the end they have achieved nothing! This is called overestimating their capabilities!"

Expert E said: "The successful launch of their first geosynchronous navigation satellite is not a good thing! It will only waste more of their money and energy! I really don't understand, with such a good satellite navigation system as GPS, Why do they have to make unnecessary efforts on their own!"

It has to be said that the lizard country's ability to control public opinion is still very strong.

Originally, China's successful launch of its first navigation satellite should be a happy event, right?

However, under their concentrated attack, the rumor was spread beyond recognition.

After Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Bingkun returned to the capital, he went to the aerospace technology factory.

He wants to help Chen Kainan and the others modify the system settings of the CZ-3 rocket.

The purpose is to kill two stars with one stone.

The day after arriving in the capital, Zhang Zhipeng saw from internal reference the reports made by major media on China's launch of the first geosynchronous navigation satellite.

Almost no one had a good word to say.

Anyway, it was just a fluke that you successfully launched.

If you succeed this time, you are destined to fail in the future.

They also claim that using geosynchronous orbit to realize satellite navigation is nothing more than a pipe dream!

Anyway, it’s just badmouthing!

Anyway, I just think you can’t do it? !

After reading these contents, Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said: "They are really too arrogant and self-righteous."

Chen Kainan smiled and said, "Isn't that their traditional skill?"

"They have always been so virtuous, haha!"

"Comrade Zhipeng, don't be angry because of this, because it's not worth it! We just need to continue to welcome one success after another, and then we can make them shut up!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Don't say anything, let's work hard!"

"Strive to hit two stars with one stone in the next launch! Preliminarily set up the navigation system!"

The bad-mouthing by the lizard media failed to hurt Zhang Zhipeng.

He works harder and harder, or else he can make steamed buns to win his reputation!

In the next ten days or so, Zhang Zhipeng took root in the aerospace technology workshop!

He began to rewrite the rocket's operating system and reintegrate the rocket's system.

His goal is simple: to make CZ-3 more intelligent and easier to control.

Because it is based on the improvement of the software system, there are basically no major changes to the hardware, so this transformation is not actually subversive.

The transformation speed is also quite fast.

After more than ten days, the transformation was completed, and then experts from the aerospace science and technology side conducted debugging and testing.

They found that the operating system rewritten and improved by Zhang Zhipeng maximized the rocket's intelligent controllability, making the rocket more efficient and easier to control accurately.

After the testing and debugging was completed, experts all believed that the improvement of the software system was very successful.

Therefore, now, it can be announced that one arrow and two stars can be launched at a selected date.

This time the launch was chosen in April 1993.

The specific day and hour of launch depends on the weather conditions at that time.

Therefore, weather assessment and prediction are also in full swing.

Finally, after comprehensive analysis, the rocket launch headquarters determined that the rocket would be launched into the sky on April 4.

Because the weather conditions on this day should be the best day in April.

Zhang Zhipeng did not go to the satellite launch site this time.

Because he was feeling quite nervous right now.

His psychological quality has actually always been quite good.

But at this critical moment, he was still very uneasy.

After all, this launch is really important.

This was all in April of 1993.

If we don't develop our country's satellite navigation system first, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Zhang Zhipeng stayed in the capital.

However, he still appeared at the satellite launch command center here in Beijing.

He sat in an inconspicuous corner.

There are quite a lot of people in this hall, all of them are staff.

Satellite launch is a comprehensive and huge project.

It requires a lot of staff to work together to complete it.

Zhang Zhipeng sat in the corner, and he could only sit here as a staff member.

He saw reporters from CCTV and key media and news agencies taking photos and filming in the hall.

Of course, whether the content they interviewed today can be released depends on the final launch results.

Zhang Zhipeng was looking at the computer screen in front of him a little absently.

This computer was also produced by his Huaxing Technology.

Today, there are almost no Huaxing computers on the market, and the company's computers are still mainly supplied to important units and departments.

On the computer screen, there is a live broadcast.

You can see the current situation at the launch site. The final assembly and testing of the rocket have obviously been completed.

At present, the huge launcher has not been evacuated.

Most likely final checks are being done.

There is no room for error in such an important launch mission.

Generally speaking, the success rate of China's rocket launches is quite high.

The success rate is over 95%.

This is also because our Chinese scientists are more rigorous, serious and responsible.

There is zero tolerance for minor problems with the rocket.

Zhang Zhipeng took a deep breath.

He felt that his heartbeat was still a little fast.

He was really in a mood.

The figure flashed, and Chen Kainan sat next to Zhang Zhipeng.

"Comrade Zhipeng, the launch was originally scheduled for 11 o'clock, but it may be postponed." Chen Kainan said.

Zhang Zhipeng's heart skipped a beat: "What's going on?"

"Did you find any problem?"

Chen Kainan shook his head and said: "Now there are cumulonimbus clouds in the sky over there. Although the clouds are not thick, we are worried about triggering thunder and lightning when launching."

"So, the command will have to wait a little longer and see what happens."

Thunder and lightning are taboo during rocket launches.

There are cumulonimbus clouds in the sky. If a rocket passes through the cumulonimbus clouds, it may induce thunder and lightning.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, just wait a moment."

"I think maybe the launch time would be better in the afternoon!"

Chen Kainan said: "I think this is the result of hard work, so just wait!"

As a result, everyone in the command hall began to enter a waiting mode.

Everyone waits and waits and waits...

I waited from about 10 a.m. to about p.m.

Waiting is exhausting.

Zhang Zhipeng has been sitting in the command hall and basically hasn't moved.

He wasn't in the mood to run out of here either.

Although he was not a staff member and could come and go as he pleased, what he was thinking was: What if it could suddenly be launched?

Just like that, until 5:13 pm, Zhang Zhipeng discovered that the clouds over the launch site had clearly dissipated, revealing a large tile-blue sky.

News comes: the satellite is about to be launched!

The huge launch pad has already been opened.

All staff evacuate.

Chen Kainan's voice sounded: "All units, be prepared! The rocket is about to enter the countdown to launch phase!"

Subsequently, the countdown to the launch site began.

“10、9、8、7……1！点火！”

Rocket ignites!

A huge tail flame was sprayed onto the launch pad from below.

"take off!"

The rocket soared into the sky and shot straight into the sky!

Zhang Zhipeng felt trembling when he saw the rocket rising into the sky on the screen.

In the command hall, there was a bustle of reports.

The rocket is flying normally!

The rocket quickly entered a circular parking orbit smoothly, and then waited for the opportunity to enter an elliptical orbit 3.6 kilometers directly above the equator.

Chen Kainan came over again.

He smiled and sat next to Zhang Zhipeng and said, "It went very well."

"There should be no problem."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "I hope to reach the equator as soon as possible and send the satellite to an elliptical orbit as soon as possible!"

Chen Kainan said: "Comrade Zhipeng, I feel like you are very nervous. Haha!"

"According to my experience, there is no problem with this matter."

"The next step is to send the satellite to the geostationary orbit 3.6 kilometers away in a step-by-step manner, and everything will be fine."

Chen Kainan had a very relaxed expression on his face.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The main thing is that this satellite navigation system is really important to our country in my opinion."

"That's why I'm a little concerned about gains and losses."

"I didn't expect you to see it. It seems I have to adjust my mentality."

Chen Kainan felt a little strange. He admitted that the satellite navigation system was very important, but there were many more important things in China than satellite navigation!

Why is Zhang Zhipeng so interested in satellite navigation systems?

He couldn't figure out why.

Chen Kainan was confused, but said with a smile: "The satellite navigation system is indeed very important."

"It is normal for Comrade Zhipeng to hope that it will succeed as soon as possible."

More than two hours later, the moment the rocket crossed the equatorial plane, the final rocket ignited again and sent the navigation satellite to a large elliptical orbit.

Subsequently, the satellite engine was successfully ignited, leaving the transfer orbit and entering the synchronous orbit. Both satellites arrived at the originally set positions, forming a triangular deconstruction with the originally launched synchronous navigation satellite.

At this point, the three navigation satellites have been deployed successfully.

After the layout is successful, there is still a lot of work to be done.

These tasks also require Zhang Zhipeng’s key participation.

After several days of intense work, Zhang Zhipeng finally led the team to achieve a relatively accurate navigation test using three navigation satellites in the sky.

Zhang Zhipeng is not the only one who is conducting experiments. Under the arrangement of Zhao Bingkun, users all over the country are using user terminal devices to conduct navigation experiments.

After testing, one thing that can be determined is that this satellite navigation system established by three navigation satellites can provide navigation services throughout the Asia-Pacific region!

This means: China has its own satellite navigation system, so it no longer has to worry about Robin getting stuck in this area.

Of course, the navigation provided by the three satellites still has some shortcomings. For example, it is sometimes difficult to link to the satellites, and it cannot achieve global coverage at all, or even national coverage.

However, even so, this navigation system still has huge significance.

This means that we have broken through the Zenith star technology of satellite navigation!

In the future, we can gradually improve our satellite navigation system.

In fact, Zhang Zhipeng has already planned this system.

We just need to continue to launch satellites and build the entire navigation system to achieve global coverage.

The completion of this domestic satellite navigation system is of great significance to China.

The first one: It can greatly increase the power of precision weapons! It is of great help to national defense.

Second, it is also of great help to shipping. Whether it is maritime or land transportation, satellite navigation can guide the route and direction, which can greatly improve the safety and efficiency of transportation.

On the vast sea, it is easy to lose your way without the help of a satellite navigation system.

After the satellite navigation system composed of three satellites was successfully constructed and tested, CCTV's seven o'clock news carried a grand report.

People across the country were also in jubilation.

Of course, in the face of China's great success, Lizufang reacted coldly at first.

Those experts who had ruthlessly laughed at China now shut up obediently.

The media on the Lizard side basically didn’t report much on this matter.

However, a few days later, another elite member of the Robin family came forward to be interviewed by Twisting Times and said: China’s self-built satellite navigation system is purely unnecessary!

The elite said: "Our GPS is open to the whole world and can be used by any country and people!"

"I don't understand why they want to build their own satellite navigation system?"

"The advice I want to give them is: Stop wasting tax dollars and return to GPS! The satellite navigation system you built yourself is not only difficult to use, but also undermines the development of globalization! You will provoke the entire Lizard Party. You are not satisfied! I hope you change your ways!"

This condescending tone is truly disgusting.

Moreover, not only the Twist Times, but also almost all lizard media are vigorously promoting similar arguments and articles.

Zhang Zhipeng knew that this was a public opinion strategy by Robin.

It hopes that through such public opinion guidance, China will gradually abandon its satellite navigation system.

However, what comforted Zhang Zhipeng was: Zhao Bingkun told Zhang Zhipeng that the leaders above had made a decision!

"Don't listen to Robin's bullshit, and we must unswervingly develop and improve our own satellite navigation system!"

"We must not place our hopes on the kindness of others!"

Zhao Bingkun said to Zhang Zhipeng.

These words made Zhang Zhipeng feel at ease. It also made him understand one thing: In fact, Huaxia has always been sober! Robin's deception never really changed anything!

Zhang Zhipeng believes that he does not have to worry about how the satellite navigation system will develop in the future. The relevant departments will take care of this matter.

Zhang Zhipeng now feels that he needs to do something to increase his country's deterrent strength. Only in this way can those ambitious wolves dare not make trouble in China's offshore waters.
