Chapter 127, Heaven up
The Germans had to suspend the attack because the artillery was almost destroyed, and there was only some small-caliber infantry artillery left, without artillery support, and if they continued to fight, they would only increase casualties, after all, the opponent's artillery was nothing to furnish.

The German suspension of the offensive gave the Sixth Army a chance to take a breather and reorganize its troops, and this battle brought many problems that needed to be solved.
Both sides temporarily put out the fire, licking their wounds, ready to fight again.
---------
In the Tanami Desert, Australia, at the research base, a white painted device with the shape of a missile is erected there. It is 26 meters high, 6 meters in diameter, and has four boosters around it.
This is a launch vehicle, that's right, a rocket, the kind that launches satellites.
The rocket is erected on the launch pad, which means that the satellite has been built.
Indeed, after Lu Qiang provided the information, those Jews got the information, forgot to sleep and eat research, and finally came up with a satellite with a diameter of 8 meters.
As the world's first satellite, it had a lifespan of only 16 hours.
The satellite is powered by a mixture of liquid hydrogen and kerosene, and when it reaches its predetermined orbit, it stops running and stays there quietly, sending a telegram to the ground every one minute to indicate that it still exists. However, because the storage technology of this era is very bad, after 16 hours, it will not be able to send any telegrams because it cannot send the memory and is full, which means that it is obsolete.
As the first satellite, its biggest role is to create and accumulate technology for the satellites that follow, so I don't care about it.
This rocket, named Xingchen-1, represents the first step in the sea of stars, and the satellite is called Weiyi, which has no meaning, this is originally a test satellite.
Once the satellite has been built, it has to be pulled to the launch rack, but the transmitter is still dozens of kilometers away from where the satellite was built. The reason why it is so far away is that I don't want the rocket launch site to occupy the space here, after all, it is still expanding here, and building a launch site requires a lot of space, plus the satellite is not launched every day, and the launch frequency is low, which also leads to such a large piece of land being empty at ordinary times, which is a waste of land, so the launch frame is built farther.
Far away is not an area of land, but the 26-meter-high rocket is difficult to transport, the rocket is not foam, the whole rocket adds up to hundreds of tons, hundreds of tons, how can an ordinary car pull and move? So I couldn't do it, so I had to disassemble the rocket and transport it to the launch pad where it was assembled.
In this way, it is time-consuming and laborious, and the disassembly and assembly of these rockets is not something that can be done in a day or two, at least a week, which is a great waste of time. Moreover, the rocket is such a big block, there are a lot of parts in it, some large and some small, and the big ones are very difficult to lift, so it would be nice if they could pull them directly.
This also inspired Lu Qiang, so he asked his own laboratory specializing in the development of cars to design a super tow truck, which is used to tow rockets, but it is still in the laboratory, so this rocket is destined to be dismantled.
Hundreds of people went into battle, holding wrenches and screwdrivers, dismantling all the rockets, and then transporting them to the launch site by car.
It takes a lot of time to dismantle a rocket alone, and it also requires everyone to work together, and it took three days for all these things to be dismantled and towed.
At the launch pad, the engineers took out the parts and began to assemble them, and they needed to assemble all the parts of these rockets in the shortest possible time.
When it was fully assembled, it was also the time when the Germans and the Sixth Army went to war. Now the rocket is placed on the launch stand and awaiting launch.
The first time I launched a satellite, I didn't have any experience to study, I completely relied on my own exploration, and the operation of the satellite was simple.
The final checks were completed, and it was confirmed that there were no problems with the rocket, and it was ready to be lifted off.
Everyone stayed away from the rocket, retreated far away. Because there is metamethylhydrazine in the incendiary agent of the rocket, this thing is poisonous, especially after combustion, it is highly toxic, inhalation is easy to make people suffer from liver disease, and environmental pollution is also very serious, although there is nothing to pollute in this desert, but it is true that it is harmful to the human body.
Lu Qiang also knows the hazards of dimethylhydrazine, but there is no suitable combustion agent to replace it at present, using liquid oxygen and kerosene, the safety is too low, it is easy to explode, and it is not easy to ignite, so for the time being, it will be used for the time being, and then replaced when it is found a suitable one.
As a green button was pressed, the four boosters of the Xingchen-1 rocket spewed dazzling light, pushing the behemoth into the air.
They have a lot of confidence in the launch of the rocket, and have done many tests before, including intercontinental missile tests, tests without satellites, and so on.
Under the huge thrust, the Xingchen-1 rocket rose higher and higher, and the speed became faster and faster, and gradually turned into a point of light under people's gaze.
The first step of the rocket launch was successful, and the next step was the stripping of the booster, the tail stripping, etc., after step-by-step stripping, and finally the satellite arrived safely at the designated position.
The plan is like this, but whether it can really go so smoothly depends on the will of God.
Everyone did not relax because of the successful launch of the rocket, and they were all nervously concerned about whether the satellite could reach the position, including Lu Qiang, and they were also concerned about this matter, after all, this is a matter of national planning.
After the rocket lifts off, it will reach outer space in 18 minutes, and then disassemble the satellite, at this time, the first batch of cosmic garbage appears, and the Xiling Empire is the first cosmic junk to get out of the earth's orbit, is it worth celebrating?
When this satellite, which was full of strong hopes for landing, successfully arrived in space, entered orbit, and began to send messages to the ground.
"Dididi~"
In the space command headquarters, a small instrument suddenly screamed, flashing red, and everyone present looked at each other, and they could see a look of excitement in each other's eyes.
A man pressed the button next to him under the gaze of everyone, and a crisp and somewhat dull voice with a lot of noise came to mind.
"This is the Guardian-1 satellite, which has successfully reached its target."
Hearing this, the entire command room fell silent, and then suddenly burst into cheers.
"It's a success!" "It worked, we made it."...
Everyone was cheering, jumping, and celebrating, because it was all their endeavor, and what could be more exciting than seeing your efforts succeed.
The satellite was successfully launched, and Lu Qiang also got the news as soon as possible, and after listening to the report, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: It was finally successful. (To be continued.) )
