Northwest Satellite Launch Center.

Located in the northeast of Gansu Province, it covers an area of about 2,800 square kilometers. It has a flat terrain, is sparsely populated, dry and has little rain. There are about 300 days a year for launch tests, which is an ideal place to launch spacecraft.

This is one of the reasons why Qian Lao chose this place.

The entire satellite launch center consists of a technical test area, a launch area, a special fuel reserve area, a command and control center, a tracking and measurement station, a communication network, a meteorological network, as well as a power plant, a dedicated railway, a highway, an airport, etc.

Technical test area: There are satellite and carrier rocket assembly and test plants, solid rocket assembly and inspection plants, various inspection laboratories, computer rooms and various auxiliary facilities.

Launch area: There are launch pads, mobile service towers, fixed launch towers, underground launch control rooms, propellant transfer storage and filling facilities, automated command and monitoring facilities, etc.

Special fuel reserve area: There are liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen plants, propellant storage and transportation, and chemical testing and identification facilities.

Command and control center: There are command centers, security control centers, communication time center, data exchange processing center, metering stations, etc.

Measuring station: equipped with tracking and measuring equipment with multiple means and multiple coverage, such as optics, radar and telemetry. When launching satellites, it can form a communication network with the Beijing Aerospace Command Center to transmit the tracking and measuring data and time signals of the launch vehicle and satellite in real time.

Meteorological system: capable of making short-term, medium-term and long-term weather forecasts and data and mathematical statistics forecasts.

Today, the weather is sunny and cloudless.

“Brother Qian, today is a good day… Look how nice the weather is!”

“Yes, it seems that our national destiny has begun to go against the tide!”

Everyone is looking forward to this moment. The moment to witness history has come. Rabbit has once again ushered in a major change that has not been seen in a century.

At this time, the carrier rocket has completed all pre-launch inspections, including the assembly of various parts of the rocket, such as the combustion chamber, nozzle, and fairing.

In addition, the rocket is also functionally checked, including pressurizing the rocket, filling it with propellants (such as liquid oxygen and kerosene), connecting cables and pipes, etc.

Ensure that all parts are working properly?

“Chief Designer……”

“Jiang Lao…you are here……”

“Brother Qian, Jiang Chen is here.”

With the support of everyone, Jiang Chen appeared in the command center. Brother Qian walked up quickly and said,”Jiang Chen, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you!”

“Come, take a look at the satellite No. 1 I built. I now call it Dongfanghong No. 1, how about it?”

“This is a good name!” Jiang Chen:”Technical department, everything is ready… Let’s get started!”

“OK!”

Gan Lao picked up the microphone and shouted:”All departments, please pay attention, take your positions, Dongfeng Hong 1 is ready to launch.……”

“Yes!”

The launch vehicle will be filled with propellant

“”Ignition!”

The carrier rocket rose from the ground.

Hiss, hiss, hiss… whoosh… whoosh whoosh… whoosh whoosh whoosh……

“The launch vehicle is OK……”

“Launch vehicle enters the atmosphere……”

“The first stage rocket engine ran out of fuel……”

“The launch vehicle begins the three-stage separation procedure… the fairing separates……”

The communication and timing center and the measurement center reported.

The Dongfanghong carrier rocket is a three-stage liquid rocket.

The payload is installed on the instrument cabin, and there is a fairing on the outside.

Each stage includes the rocket body structure, propulsion system and flight control system, and the stages are connected by interstages.

Whoosh…

The three-stage carrier rocket engine shuts down and separates. Then, the second-stage carrier rocket engine starts to work and continues to provide the carrier rocket with ascent power. Whoosh

, whoosh, whoosh.……

“Currently, everything is working fine.……”

“The second stage launch vehicle generator begins to separate……”

“Separation success……”

“The first stage launch vehicle generator begins to separate……”

“Separation success……”

“Dongfanghong Satellite enters the first cosmic velocity and reaches the preset orbit……”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of jubilation in the command room, with people cheering loudly!!

“Hey, we succeeded.……”

“Jiang Chen, we successfully launched the satellite…hahahaha……”

The scientists were so happy that they couldn’t help but burst into tears.

All this was not easy.

The first cosmic velocity refers to the speed at which an artificial satellite moves in uniform circular motion just above the surface of the earth. It is the maximum orbital speed of an artificial satellite orbiting the earth, and it is also the minimum launch speed at which it will never fall back to the earth.

They created human history, and they made people all over the world remember Rabbit.

At the same time, they created a new charter for mankind.

This is great… This is shocking…

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s excited heart could not calm down for a long time. With his efforts, Rabbit became the first country in the world to launch a satellite.

Let the world once again hear the sound of the dragon’s roar from the East, and once again refresh the West’s new understanding of Rabbit.

Gentlemen… Listen… Dragon’s roar!!!

Let the whole world be quiet!

Jiang Chen’s heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Gan Lao said excitedly:”Jiang Chen, you are the father of aerospace in our country……”

“Thank you for your compliment, but a successful launch is only the first step. Next, we need to conduct a communication test on Dongfanghong 1. After the success, we will launch 66 more satellites… to cover the world.……”

“”Yes!” Gan Lao nodded heavily, picked up the intercom and said:”Telemetry department, please pay attention, immediately test the Dongfanghong satellite……”

“Yes.”

Then, the telemetry system conducted a communication test on the satellite in the sky.

The function of the telemetry system is to measure the operating parameters and environmental parameters of each system of the carrier rocket during flight.

These parameters are sent back to the ground through the radio transmitter on the carrier rocket and received by the ground receiver; the measured parameters can also be recorded on the magnetic recorder on the carrier rocket, and the magnetic recorder can be recovered on the ground.

These measured parameters can be used to predict the orbital parameters of the spacecraft when it enters orbit, and can also be used to identify and improve the performance of the carrier rocket.

Once a carrier rocket fails in flight, these parameters are the basis for fault analysis.

At the same time, it can use the optical and radio equipment on the ground together with the corresponding devices installed on the carrier rocket to track the carrier rocket in flight.

And measure its flight parameters, which are used to predict the orbital parameters of the spacecraft when it enters orbit, and can also be used as a basis for identifying the accuracy of the guidance system and fault analysis.

After a series of communication tests, exciting news came over the radio.

“Report, Mr. Qian, the communication is normal, everything is normal!”

“well……”Qian Lao’s voice trembled a little:”Jiang Chen, the next step is to start the communication network!”

Jiang Chen nodded and immediately announced:”From now on, I declare that the Dongfanghong satellite has officially entered the networking stage.……”

“But, Mr. Qian, you need to find someone new to be responsible for setting up the network!”

“Oh? I have an important mission again?”

Jiang Chen pulled Qian Lao aside and whispered,”Do you remember the intercontinental missile I mentioned?”

“Of course, I have been thinking about this for several nights, but I still have no idea.……”(To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Intercontinental missiles are not like launching satellites. It is enough to reach a certain speed. It also needs sufficient accuracy and penetration capability.

It will take some time for the old man to be compatible with both.

“It’s okay if you don’t have a clue. I do.……”As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out the design drawing of the No. 5 missile.

When Gan Lao saw it, he was completely numb:”The missile is 32.6 meters long, 3.35 meters in diameter, 183 tons in takeoff weight, uses a two-stage liquid-fuel rocket engine, is launched from a silo, has a maximum range of 12,000 kilometers, and a hit accuracy of 500 meters.”

Crackling.

Gan Lao quickly flipped through the drawings to the page about the generator.

The next second, Gan Lao was stunned.

The development of intercontinental missiles is quite difficult. In 3-5 minutes, a behemoth weighing hundreds of tons must be pushed to an orbital altitude of 150 kilometers or even 400 kilometers.

During this launch process, whether the engine is a liquid rocket engine or a solid rocket engine, it must have enough energy to maintain the overall posture of the missile during the ascent phase, and the launch preparation time must be as short as possible.

These are actually a great test of a country’s rocket technology, including control technology.

So, Gan Lao racked his brains for this question.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen finally gave the answer: using a two-stage liquid-fuel rocket engine, launched from a silo, and using high-thrust rocket engine technology.

What?

After reaching a certain altitude, by adjusting the direction of the engine jet, the missile can adjust its flight direction at high speed

?

“Jiang Chen, you are so awesome, this design is like opening up my Ren and Du meridians!” Qian Chen laughed excitedly:”Haha, I didn’t expect this!”

“It turns out that this is possible……”

“Jiang Chen, you are so awesome!”

Jiang Chen:”Then, Mr. Qian, the construction task of the No. 5 missile is handed over to you!!!”

“Don’t worry! We guarantee the completion of the task……”[]

Afterwards, the two continued to exchange technology and develop the intercontinental missile as soon as possible.

……

At the same time, the launch of the Dongfanghong satellite also attracted the attention of the Eagle Sauce high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

……

On the other side.

Beijing Aerospace Command Center.

The Dongfanghong communications satellite was successfully launched, and the message of passing the communication test was synchronized to the Beijing Aerospace Command Center.

“Quick, report this good news to Mr. Hu……”

“Yes!!”

In a high-level conference room in Beijing, the commander-in-chief was holding an emergency meeting.

The content of the meeting was divided into two parts. The first was the negotiation on the peninsula and whether to make concessions. The second was the Filipino maids and the bald man making trouble in the surrounding areas, and the announcement of”Expanding the Self-Defense Forces as needed” by the foot basin chicken and other events.

The commander-in-chief:”The Eagle Sauce is very cunning. They are making trouble in our south and southeast… They just hope that we will sign the”Armistice Agreement”……”

“The more the Eagle Sauce does this, the more we cannot let it succeed.……”

Hu Gong:”If we continue to stalemate, it will be disadvantageous to both sides.”

The Chief of General Staff:”If we continue to stalemate, the Peninsula Campaign will enter a tug-of-war stage, and our people will not be able to withdraw from the Peninsula.……”

The commander-in-chief had a stiff attitude:”The rabbits nowadays are no longer the rabbits of a hundred years ago. It is not the turn of the Eagle Sauce to bully them whenever it wants… Have you noticed that the reason why the Eagle Sauce is so anxious for us to sign is actually to deal with the Middle East with all its heart and soul.……”

It must be said that the commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief.

He saw through the problem at a glance.

The Chief of General Staff:”No wonder our shore-based missiles bombarded the Eagle Sauce Fifth Aircraft Carrier Formation, but the Eagle Sauce did not make any counterattack. So this is what happened!”

Mr. Hu:”As far as I know, the Eagle Sauce Fifth Aircraft Carrier Formation was disbanded after World War II. It was recently reorganized to cope with the situation in the Middle East. It has not yet formed an effective combat capability…”

The commander-in-chief:”The current situation is clear at a glance. As long as we and the Eagle Sauce are wasting time, we can respond to changes with constancy and use static to control dynamics… The Eagle Sauce can’t do anything!”

“As for the Filipino maids and bald heads in the south and south-central areas… let them be arrogant for a few days… now, let’s see how long the Eagle Sauce can hold out.……”

Everyone nodded.

Finally, a series of decisions were made: first, the negotiation conditions remained unchanged, second, patrols and control of the south were strengthened to collect evidence, and third, verbal warnings were given to the bald man!

“Meeting adjourned!”

As soon as the meeting ended, Hu Gong’s secretary walked away quickly and said,”Our communication satellite was launched successfully.……”

The sound was not loud, but everyone present heard it.

“What? The news is accurate?”

“It’s absolutely true.”

Hu Gong said excitedly:”Commander-in-chief, you all heard it… We have become the first country in the world to successfully launch a satellite!”

“I heard it…it’s really exciting news……”

The commander-in-chief was so excited that he couldn’t express it in words.

The gears of historical turning point began to turn at this moment.

The successful launch of the Dongfanghong satellite is of great significance.

Not only has it achieved a major breakthrough in technology, but it has also had a far-reaching impact on politics and international influence.

Its success has greatly enhanced the prestige of the Rabbit in the world and established national self-esteem and self-confidence for the Chinese people.

At the same time, this achievement has also laid a solid foundation for the Rabbit’s aerospace industry, explored the technological process, cultivated a team of talents, and established a complete system for aerospace.

In addition, the success of”Dongfanghong No. 1″ is also symbolic. It allows the world to see the”Rabbit Satellite”,?This marks the beginning of the Rabbit’s exploration of the mysteries of the universe, the peaceful use of space, and the benefit of all mankind.

This historic moment is of great significance.

Commander-in-Chief:”Immediately reward the aerospace scientists… They have done a great job!”

Hu Gong:”Commander-in-Chief, I’m afraid it’s not possible now. First, it’s confidentiality. Second, according to Jiang Chen’s idea, if we want to achieve global communication, we need to launch 66 low-altitude satellites.……”

“The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!!”

The commander-in-chief:”They are all great scientists……”The words are full of awe

……

At the same time, the CIA’s investigation report on rabbits was once again submitted to President Eisenhower.

“What? The rabbit successfully launched a satellite?”

“The first nuclear submarine was launched?”

Eisenhower was completely numb!

…Where….
