Chapter 330 Launching a Satellite
Xu Bai questioned the three of them carefully for a long time, and finally came to a reliable conclusion.

"In other words, there may be a spare satellite in the Taiyuan base. However, if you want to launch it, you have to take that satellite to Jiuquan, Gansu? Doesn't this require an extra trip?"

The man who used to work at the satellite launch base nodded helplessly, and said: "This is also a matter of no choice. According to my guess, since the capital base may have launched a small satellite in Jiuquan, then Jiuquan probably has a spare carrier." Rockets. For the Taiyuan base, we may need to assemble them ourselves. It’s just that it’s too difficult to assemble a launch vehicle, and we are far from enough manpower, so we can only choose existing complete products as much as possible.”

His words made everyone understand.

The problem is limited to technical personnel, who are not capable of assembling launch vehicles and satellites by themselves.Coincidentally, the Taiyuan base may have finished satellites, and there may be a pre-installed launch vehicle in Jiuquan, so they can try their luck there.

"I want to emphasize that these are just the inferences of the three of us, and the other two satellite launch bases may not really exist!"

Probably because he was afraid that he would take responsibility for talking too much, the man deliberately repeated it.

Xu Bai pondered for a while, and finally asked: "That is to say, even if there are enough technicians, it still depends on our luck to be able to launch the spy satellite?"

"You can say that." He nodded.

A plan whose success may be unknown, but also has to travel between two satellite bases.If it was changed to something else, Xu Bai really wanted to give up.However, the role of spy satellites is too great.Once it is really successful, the Shanghai base will obtain first-hand information about the major bases, the distribution of zombies, and the survivors, which will greatly promote the reconstruction of civilized order in Shanghai!
After a long time, Xu Bai made a final decision!

Regardless of the possibility of ultimate success, they have to work hard for it.Even Xu Bai will personally lead the team out.

The chief of staff looked at Xu Bai's expression and asked, "The chief has decided?"

Xu Bai's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you have to try it. Your name is Zhou Kang, right? The deputy director who used to be in charge of launch vehicles? Very good! I need a team that can send satellites into the sky. Set off when the snow melts enough to drive. During this time, I will give you full authority to select the talents you need at the Shanghai base! If you can finally do it, you will have to be qualified as a superhuman!"

Xu Bai's promise immediately brightened the eyes of the three of them.

How could they not know the name of the supernatural being?It's a pity that before the end of the world, they were all civil servants, and they often sat in front of the computer for a day.With such physical quality, it is very difficult to survive in the last days, and there is no spare energy to fight for those few pitiful supernatural seeds. Now with Xu Bai's promise, the flames in the hearts of the three of them were instantly ignited.It's fine if they didn't have a chance before, but now they are flexing their muscles in the field they are best at, and they are still very confident!
"Don't worry, chief, we promise to complete the task!"

The three of them saluted immediately without saying a word, and then discussed to go out to find someone.

To be honest, it is really not easy to launch a satellite.

Not to mention that there are no satellites and rockets, even if they are there, they still need a large number of technical personnel to cooperate.Launch geostationary or non-geostationary satellites?How high is the track?Regulation of ground base stations?Every problem needs to be overcome.In particular, there are only three professional technicians, and it is really difficult to temporarily train some!

Fortunately, their request is only to send a satellite into the sky.Even if the orbit height is not that high enough, and it can only last for three or two weeks before crashing, that is enough!

In the next few days, the Shanghai base became lively.

Stimulated by becoming a person with supernatural powers, deputy director Zhou Kang and his two subordinates rallied and began to recruit people everywhere.With the help of the logistics department, he successively selected some people who had something to do with rocket launches, or who were relatively proficient in computers, and even a few top-notch hackers.Afterwards, the three of them began to simply "train them" or cram-style tutorials. They were not required to understand why, as long as they knew what to do and when to do it!

For this reason, the power department of the Shanghai base deliberately increased the power generation, and got a batch of computers to give them preliminary simulations.

In the blink of an eye, forty days have passed!
Because the temperature outside was always hovering below zero, the snow melted very slowly, which also gave Zhou Kang and the others more time.Relying on his memory and the assistance of a few hackers, Zhou Kang even reprogrammed an extremely simplified version of the software, allowing these temporary recruits to try it out.
After repeated attempts, Zhou Kang, who had lost a lot of weight, finally had the confidence to promise Xu Bai that as long as there were no problems with the rocket, he would definitely be able to send the satellite into the sky.
With Zhou Kang's words in hand, Xu Bai gave the order to set off without hesitation.

The snow outside is still very thick, which is not suitable for going out.But Xu Bai was impatient. The zombies from India who crossed the border to southern Yunnan put him under great pressure.He didn't know if those zombies would arrive here, but as the snow decreased, their actions would definitely speed up, and there was not much time left for them.
In such a mood of urgency, a convoy of about [-] vehicles quietly left Shanghai that afternoon.

Among them, there are about fifty troops of supernatural beings, dozens of related technicians, and the rest are spare vehicles and food.Because he was worried about the situation of the Shanghai base, Xu Bai kept Yuliu and Baozi.In this way, even if there is an accident, there will be no unmanageable situation with two high-level supernatural beings in charge.

"Go to the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Base first, and then head west all the way to Gansu."

To travel from Shanghai to Beihai, you need to cross the Yangtze River.Since the two nearest bridges had been blocked or blown up, they had to make a detour to cross the river.Of course, they used to be able to cross the river by boat.But now the ice layer near the river bank has not completely melted, and it is impossible to take a boat.

In desperation, they could only obediently circle around dozens of kilometers.

Fortunately, most of the nearby zombies were cleaned up by them. In the first half day, they hardly encountered too many attacks.However, when the convoy crossed the river, the number of zombies suddenly increased.But with so many supernatural beings around, the people in the convoy were not afraid, it was just that their speed was somewhat affected.Originally, the convoy didn't dare to drive fast on the snowy ground, and they didn't dare to rush on the road at night, but this time it was good, the whole convoy seemed to be moving forward at a snail's speed.

Three days later, they drove into the edge of Taiyuan with difficulty.

To be honest, the former Taiyuan base is also one of the super bases with nearly a million survivors.It's just that after resisting the zombies, they withdrew back to the capital base one after another, and finally moved west with them.Up to now, there is no decent resistance force in the whole Taiyuan, maybe there are only sporadic survivors struggling in some corners.

However, the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Base and the Taiyuan Base are not the same thing.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Bai put a magic circle on the convoy, and then took a detour from outside the city of Taiyuan.Finally, they found the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Base according to the map.

Before this, Xu Bai once wondered why the central base would send people to Jiuquan, which is farther away, to launch the satellite instead of Taiyuan.Now that he arrived here in person, he discovered that a group of 20 zombies had somehow occupied this place.Although they became very scattered because no one came for a long time, Xu Bai knew that as long as they dared to drive past, those zombies would definitely chase them all the way.

At such a short distance, the magic circle is not omnipotent.

"Get out of the way."

Since there was no shortcut, Xu Bai could only wave his hand, and his opponent issued an order to fight. Although 20 zombies are indeed a lot, if they were killed separately by these supernatural beings, it would be nothing.

After fighting fiercely for half a day, Xu Bai and the others killed tens of millions of zombies one after another, and even had sixty or seventy puppets of third-level zombies in their hands.This large group of Tier [-] zombie puppets alone is enough to save them a lot of time and energy.

"It's time to move on."

Seeing that the remaining zombies were still gathering one after another, Xu Bai already had a bottom line in his heart.Under his command, the convoy drove into the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Base as quickly as possible.After careful cleaning, the technicians in the car began to clean the base under the protection of several supernatural beings, while Xu Bai personally led people to set up a line of defense outside.

"Boom boom boom."

The sound of explosive explosions and machine gun shooters sounded from time to time, but Xu Bai's attention was no longer here.Unless there are fourth-order zombies appearing, these zombies rushing over one after another are not enough to break through the defense line.His thoughts were all on the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Base.

Is the information provided by the general in Shanghai accurate?

As the search continued, Xu Bai only felt his heart beating, he was rarely so nervous.

"Chief, I found it, I found it."

Just when the zombie attack outside turned from prosperity to decline, a supernatural person ran out of the base, and those who came all the way reported the good news to him.Later, Zhou Kang's excited voice came from the intercom: "Chief, we found two satellites in the base, one of which should be a weather satellite, and the other has been verified to be part of the Beidou navigation system. My The subordinates are checking it, but it seems that it should be intact and ready to be launched at any time!"

"Great!"

Xu Bai is not very interested in that weather satellite, but he is very concerned about that Beidou navigation satellite.

Everyone knows that the Beidou navigation system was developed by the Celestial Dynasty before the end of the world to compete with the old American GPS system, and it is said that the accuracy is almost the same.Even if there is only one, it is enough to benefit the Shanghai base a lot in the last days.
