There is no way, real cowhide experts generally only admire more cowhide experts.

Only when the achievements are celebrated, these genuine intellectuals will be cautious about the administrative leaders and political leaders, and some intellectuals will not even throw off the leaders at this time.

The central leaders understand and will understand their words and deeds. And he is definitely a generous person, from the inside to the outside, he doesn't care about these superficial things, but takes the initiative to give Guo Shucheng the opportunity to appear and speak again and again, and does not interfere with the actions of these experts.

This flattered Guo Zhuocheng at the same time, but also tried to avoid himself covering the leader's scenery, he tried to speak as little as possible, only when others asked him, he could not hand over the problem to the central leadership or Qian Xuesen, he cautiously answered the other party's questions, every time is concise and to the point, do not play or say ambiguous words, do not understand simply do not understand.

On the contrary, what he did made the experts present look up to him, and the central leader also felt very gratified, and the briefing meeting was very harmonious and enthusiastic, and the experts in charge of the spacecraft launch felt very relaxed, without any ideological baggage, and everyone was full of confidence in the success of the launch.

Because the spacecraft had been loaded with rockets, Guo Zhuocheng could only stand in front of the launch tower and look up at the arrow body that was high above and more than 100 meters high, imagining what the spacecraft would look like.

The launch tower surrounding the rocket is more than 100 meters high, but no one who has ever seen it on the spot, even if you watch it from TV, you can't appreciate its majestic posture, only by standing at its feet, you can feel the greatness of this project, and you can feel the pride of the participants.

Thinking that China's aerospace development could start 15 years ahead of schedule, Guo Zhuocheng was excited. Because in this great project, there is also a credit to him Guo Shucheng.

At 4:34 a.m. on February 10, the spacecraft launch window. The rocket ignited on time.

Prior to the ignition, the command received a loud report from monitoring points around the world that "one qiē is ready, one qiē is operational".

With the issuance of the "ignition" command, the ignition officer calmly pressed the ignition button, and the tail of the carrier rocket standing in the arms of the launch tower erupted a ball of red flames, and the rocket with the words "China Aerospace" and "Kuafu" written on it soared into the air, like a giant fire dragon, whistling and flying straight up into the air.

Wait until you reach a certain height and then make a slight turn to plunge into the sky. Leave a white trail behind it.

It's half past four in the morning, but the launch site is brightly lit, and rockets spewing fire are clearly visible high in the sky.

Guo Zhuocheng, Qian Xuesen, and several leaders of the base accompanied the central leader to stand in the observation room and watch, although there was a television on the wall, and the shape of the rocket was clearly displayed on the TV screen. The situation of each work station was displayed, but they still chose to stand in front of the huge glass window, looking at the dark night sky through the clean glass, looking at the rocket that was getting smaller and farther away, and more and more like a star, with only a little bright color left.

They still seemed to feel the earth tremble slightly, and the roar of rocket engines echoed in their ears.

This time it was only an experimental spacecraft. There weren't even animals in it. It consists of a propulsion module, a return module, and an orbital module. The orbital module is where astronauts live and work. The re-entry capsule is the command and control center of the spacecraft, and the astronauts ride it to the sky and back to the ground. The propulsion module, also known as the power module, provides energy and power for the spacecraft during its orbit flight and return.

There are nine systems in this test, including structure and mechanism, digital management, propulsion, measurement and control communication, thermal control, power supply, guidance, navigation and control, recovery and landing, and environmental control and health protection. The main purpose is to assess the performance and reliability of the launch vehicle and to take advantage of this opportunity. Verify the correctness of the key technology and system design of the spacecraft, as well as the coordination of the entire engineering system including launch, TT&C communication, landing and recovery and other ground facilities.

Shortly after the rocket left the launch tower, the monitoring station near Jiuquan transmitted the received signal to the Beijing Aerospace Command and Control Center, which had already been prepared, and hundreds of computer monitors were dancing with dazzling numbers. On the large screen on the wall, the curve of the operating state of the test spacecraft into space is displayed, and the three-dimensional animation turns groups of numbers into vivid images and projects them on a huge screen......

Ground monitoring and control stations from home and abroad and two Yuanwang survey ships to make up for the shortcomings of the monitoring network continue to gather the measurement and control data to the command and control center.

Countless technicians watched intently the rows of numbers flowing on the screen. Rapidly tapping on the microcomputer keyboard. The engineer calmly pressed the starting button and sent the orbit command to the spacecraft. The track expert group synthesizes the calculation results of the technical personnel to determine the optimal parameters of the track.

After about 10 minutes of flight, the spacecraft successfully separated from the launch vehicle and accurately entered the predetermined orbit. Bursts of applause erupted in the accusation hall, the Jiuquan launch command room, and the viewing room.

According to the plan, the spacecraft will land and recover on the grassland of Inner Mongolia Province in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Guo Zhuocheng, Qian Xuesen, and others did not go to the landing site, but studied the development of the spacecraft in the next stage in Jiuquan.

This time, Guo Zhuocheng only attended the meeting as an observer, and only had the right to observe, no right to speak, let alone the right to make decisions, which was requested by Guo Zhuocheng himself, although there were people who opposed it from the beginning, and no one really restricted Guo Zhuocheng from speaking, but Guo Zhuocheng just insisted on it, and did not say a word from the beginning of the meeting to the end of the meeting.

This is not Guo Zhuocheng's hypocrisy, because he thinks that he is not familiar with this field, a confused person may not be involved if he does not participate, and once he participates, it will cause confusion to the shrewd person, especially when the confused person is still a leader, which often makes the really expert people want to cry without tears.

In fact, this is just a reason, it's just a high-sounding reason for Guo Zhuocheng to deal with other people's inquiries, although others don't think this reason is sufficient, the real reason is that Guo Zhuocheng doesn't want to meddle in everything, after all, his energy is limited, he can't take care of everything, and he can't manage it at all. The reason why these people are enthusiastic about him is that Guo Zhuocheng is indeed more expert than ordinary leaders, and he has presided over several major scientific research projects of the Third Aircraft Department, and many people want to learn from those methods and methods, but more importantly, they regard Guo Zhuocheng as the financier like the unit that develops the transport plane, and hope that he can help them win a large amount of funds from the state treasury to make aerospace research more smooth.

Guo Zhuocheng knew that the country's investment in aerospace has always been very large, and he did not need to fight for it, nor did he need to persuade the central leadership. Since he doesn't need to urge, he will naturally be useless, just stand by and watch the excitement. What he can do has already been done, that is, according to the situation in his previous life, he firmly decided that Qian Xuesen and the others would take the spacecraft instead of the space shuttle.

After a big circle outside, Guo Zhuocheng said goodbye to Qian Xuesen and other scientific researchers and returned to Beijing. The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to find Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu and report to him about the Sino-Soviet joint development of a large military transport plane.

Another thing is to urgently discuss the political changes in the Soviet Union after the death of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Andropov, due to illness, and what China should do.

As in previous years, Andropov, the wisest leader of the Soviet Union, completed his 69-year life and died on 9 February, the day Guo Zhuocheng arrived at the Jiuquan launch center. He took over supreme power in the Soviet Union in November 1982 and died in February 1984, a total of only one year and three months, but spent nearly a year in a hospital bed unable to move.

It can be said that this short-lived leader was still friendly to China, he had visited China many times, and he always adhered to Sino-Soviet friendship, which was also the reason why China dared to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the siege of Afghanistan, and also the reason why China and the Soviet Union quickly made a breakthrough in trade. Now that he has died of illness and a new leader will come to power, although there will not necessarily be a situation of people dying and relieving the government, there will certainly be some changes in the Soviet Union's policy towards China, and many local policies will be fine-tuned, and China must make the necessary preparations so that there will not be a situation of surprise.

Guo Zhuocheng still admires Andropov, who immediately discovered the problems of the Soviet Union's existence after taking over the supreme power from Brezhnev, and saw that the Soviet Union's foreign powers were vulnerable: the agricultural and consumer goods industries were on the verge of collapse; Eastern Europe is "detached from Germany", and the ruling party is unable to control the whole country; Resting on its laurels in science and technology, there is a growing lack of innovation; What is even stricter is that the leadership has too many privileges, the problems are getting stricter and stricter, and the grievances of the common people are increasing.

In response to the problem of the existence of the Soviet Union, he cut three axes for this:

The first is to be ruthless in fighting corruption. In just a few months, he dealt with a large number of high-ranking cadres, including more than 90 people who were removed for corruption, bribery or dereliction of duty, including Minister of Internal Affairs Serokov, First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Brezhnev's son-in-law Chubanov. Of the 150 state-level leaders, 47 were removed.

Andropov even shot Brezhnev's close friend, Smilyakov, the head of the Industrial Technology Export Bureau, and Sokolov, the manager of the gastronomy department of Moscow's No. 1 Food Mall, who specialized in supplying the Brezhnev family and other powerful people with food in short supply.

The vigorous punishment of corrupt officials has greatly alleviated the anger of the people, won some of the hearts and minds of the ruling party, and temporarily covered up the fierce social contradictions.

The second board axe is to rectify labor discipline with great fanfare. In particular, a vigorous rectification was carried out in response to the characteristics of Russians' penchant for alcoholism. The efficiency of Soviet enterprises and the government was greatly improved, and the phenomenon of excessive drinking at work was greatly reduced.

The third is to test the waters and reform the economic system. His reforms focused on three aspects: first, the introduction of agricultural collectives and household contract systems, encouraging those who harvest more; second, the promotion of contracted work teams in industry and construction; Third, we should expand the autonomy of state-owned and collective enterprises and strive to improve quality and efficiency.

It can be seen that many of the reform measures of the USSR at that time were close to or the same as those of China.
