Chapter 130 Independent Satellite Launch
If Nuvoton succeeds, then Nuvoton will become the twelfth country on Aqua Blue Star to have the ability to set foot in space, even if it has just set foot in space.
At that time, Nutang's international status will definitely be able to climb to a new level, and it will no longer be the small country that can be kneaded casually, because it is self-evident what it means to be able to launch an artificial satellite.
The two days passed quickly, and the day of March 10 came quickly, and the satellite island was full of researchers and security personnel, and everyone was carrying out the final inspection work in an orderly manner under the command of Feng Ping.
Satellite Island, the second of the seven small islands of New Tree, formerly known as B Island, is now renamed Satellite Island, the role is self-evident, it will be the satellite launch base of New Tang in the future, the area is not large, but it is enough, only 13.6 square kilometers.
At present, three of the seven small islands have been used by Li Quan, namely Paradise Island (formerly known as Island A) as an entertainment center, and Energy Island (formerly known as Island C) as an energy base.
The remaining four islands of Ding Wu Ji Geng, of which Ding Island has 5.5 square kilometers, and there is still some use value, which is temporarily left aside by Li Quan for future use.
The remaining three islands, all of which are one to two square kilometers, have been designated by Li Quan as island resorts as one of the Nuvoton tourism projects.
Command center of the satellite island.
"Your Majesty, there are still three minutes to go, the satellite is about to be launched, and the last emergency test has ended without any problems. Feng Ping reported to Li Quan.
"Good. Li Quan was very excited, and he had a lot of bold words to say, but he didn't say anything, only said a good word, and turned his head to the monitor in the command center.
Because wait, he has to personally press the launch button, this seemingly simple action, in fact, it is very ceremonial and commemorative, because this is the first artificial satellite launched by Nutang alone, and it is the first step for Nuvoton to explore the universe and contact space.
"Countdown starts 10,9,8............" In the command center, everyone looked at the dial of the countdown and unconsciously shouted along, including Li Quan himself.
"3,2,1" When he finished shouting countdown 1, Li Quan seemed to use all his strength to press the red button.
Silently in his heart: "Launch." ”
Of course, it is impossible to really use all his strength, otherwise the buttons will be broken by him.
When Li Quan pressed the red button, the big screen in the command center could see that the rockets on the rocket shelves outside were ignited, dragging a long flame tail straight into the sky, which was very spectacular.
The take-off phase is fine, as long as it does not disintegrate later, it should be possible to successfully put the satellite into the established orbit.
Everyone cheered for a while after the successful take-off of the rocket, and then began to devote themselves to intense work, there is no such thing as Li Quan now, but they still have a lot of work.
"Everything works fine. ”
After nearly an hour in a tense atmosphere, Feng Ping breathed a sigh of relief and announced loudly: "We have succeeded, the satellite has successfully entered the scheduled orbit." ”
"Oh.........."
Li Quan also showed a relieved smile at this time, the successful launch of the artificial satellite is too significant for New Tang Dynasty, although in Li Quan's eyes, this is not a big deal, but in the eyes of the New Tang people, it is different.
Such success and such glory can greatly enhance their national self-confidence and change their previous inferiority complex.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. Feng Ping came to Li Quan to report the good news.
"Very good, you have done a good job, I will crown you a baron now, and the reward will be ten million Tang Yuan, and others will also be rewarded, and the specific reward will be announced in the next few days." Li Quan was very happy, and as soon as he was happy, he directly made Feng Ping a baron.
This is the second time he has been knighted after he was knighted when he ascended the throne, the last time was Wang Yi, who was also a baron, not that Li Quan was stingy, but that he had high expectations for the future of the New Tang Dynasty, and the title of the New Tang Dynasty would definitely be superior to others at that time.
So he needs to control the number of titles and ensure the quality of titles, after all, good things are rare and expensive.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace. Feng Ping knelt down excitedly.
"Calm down, this is what you deserve, I have long said that as long as the heroes who have made great contributions to the New Tang Dynasty, I will not be stingy with rewards. Li Quan raised his right hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Feng Ping got up after thanking him.
After Feng Ping got up, they all cheered, because the staff in the command center heard Li Quan's promise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
Most of them are Chinese, and a few are Westerners, but they only came to NTVO for two purposes, one is money and the other is ideals, and they can give them what they want here, and now it seems that they have achieved it, so it's no wonder that they are unhappy.
In particular, Chinese scientists and researchers have also begun to be interested in the title, because they have planned to stay in NTVO in the future, so it must be a very honorable thing to have a knighthood, which does not conflict with their research.
"Feng Ping, now that the satellite has entered the established orbit, will it be able to conduct a global live broadcast?" Li Quan said with concern.
Feng Ping was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Quan's words, and hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, no, to conduct a global live broadcast, at least three communication satellites are needed to do it." ”
Li Quan frowned slightly when he heard that it would take three to achieve it, he really didn't know much about these, and he hadn't consulted the system before, so he didn't expect to make an oolong, in this way, is it still too late for the live broadcast on May 1st?
"Then how long will it take to launch two more communications satellites?" Li Quan continued to ask.
Feng Ping could only reply under pressure: "Back to Your Majesty, the second satellite has been developed soon, the effect is even better than this one in the sky, it will take three days to send it to orbit at the earliest, and if the third one mobilizes all resources, it is expected that it will be sent to the sky in half a month, and then counting the satellite, it will take at least ten days or so to fine-tune the satellite in orbit, if Your Majesty authorizes the minister, the minister can guarantee to complete the task within twenty days." ”
Feng Ping is actually talking about the most ideal state, if there is something wrong on the way, it is likely to be delayed, so he must ensure that the next two satellites must not have any differences, which shows how much pressure he is under.
Twenty days?
It's still in time. Li Quan was a little relieved.
Just when Li Quan was about to ask Feng Ping to complete the task within twenty days, the system jumped out and said:
"Host, I suggest you don't be in such a hurry, twenty days is too rushed, unless there are no mistakes in the process, it is unlikely to be completed, so the chances of success are not great, and it is easy to make mistakes in the busy. ”
