Chapter 547: Grass on the edge of the nest
Tawau Space Launch Center, Star Corporation.
Amid countless applause and cheers, Yang Fuhrer pressed the ignition button with a reserved smile.
In the middle of the launch site, a vertically erected white rocket instantly spewed flames, and then slowly flew up away from the launch frame, piercing the sky in more excited applause and cheers, and soon turned into a fainter and fainter point of light in the blue sky, and at the same time, the ground tracking and control center continued to transmit flight data.
"First stage separation."
"Second-level separation."
"Separation of stars and arrows."
"The satellite is in its intended orbit."
"The first new tracking and control station radar to detect satellites."
"The Karachi TTC station has discovered satellites."
"The Shiraz tracking and control station has discovered satellites."
……
This satellite, with a total weight of 480 kilograms, is constantly flying along a set circular orbit at more than 20 times the speed of sound in outer space 800 kilometers above the ground; as it flies, the tracking and control stations all over Asia, Europe, and the United States along the line continue to report its flight data; at the same time, during the flight, this satellite also constantly transmits radio signals to the predetermined channels on the ground, and repeatedly plays the songs of the member countries participating in the Star Project, in this way announcing to the world that a dark horse has entered the space club.
Because of the special design, people can even see this satellite in space with the naked eye directly on the earth.
When hundreds of millions of people from all over the world looked up at the night sky, watched it fly in their field of vision, and listened to the sound of their national anthem coming from outer space, they all felt a sense of pride, and in the next few days, newspapers in nearly 30 countries, including the Ming Dynasty, Britain, France, Germany, and Poland. Attention to the satellite is even greater than the ongoing Olympics in Rome, as well as the increasingly bitter wars of the Japanese kingdom.
By the third day, an even more exciting news had spread around the world.
In space hundreds of kilometers high, a return capsule carried on this satellite suddenly separated, and then passed through the atmosphere at high speed and crashed into a desert in Daming......
All right. This desert is actually on the Arabian Peninsula, that is, the last time Najd assigned to the Ming Dynasty, this empty desert of more than 100,000 square kilometers, very suitable for the recovery of spacecraft, this return capsule in the ablation of the atmosphere, directly fell in this desert, and then the nearby Ming garrison helicopter arrived, found and sent to Yingtian at the fastest speed.
The capsule was carrying a set of film that recorded the course of the three-day flight. Ground image taken by the Xingchen-1 scientific experiment satellite.
After some technical processing, this set of films was copied into more than 20 copies, and then sent to the participating countries, each country has a copy, as for which they like to public, then it is up to them, at the same time, after splicing, Xingchen Company also produced a set of shooting width range. A huge image of a circumference around the Earth, of course, cannot be in actual resolution. This is only a rough map, and the countries are delivered with high-resolution maps with a resolution of one metre.
The map was then pasted in the lobby of the headquarters of the Star Company in Brussels, Belgium, and was taken by reporters from all over the world.
Countless people poured into the headquarters of the stars, with dreamy expressions, looking at the image of the earth from space and looking at the green mountains and forests. Blue oceans, white deserts, and even cities large and small, this is the first time that humans have acquired the ability to observe the Earth from space, even if only partially of it.
Originally, the Discoverer reconnaissance satellite of the United States in history should have been in the same way. A few days earlier, they sent the film back to Earth, but this time their satellite malfunctioned, and the film accidentally flew off into the Amazon rainforest.
As for why this is the case, there is only one person on this planet who knows it, and this person is holding a celebratory ball on his yacht at this time to celebrate the success of the first satellite launch and return capsule experiment of the Star Company.
"Look, everybody!"
Yang Feng pointed to the location of the golden hall where his huge photo was originally hung and said, at this time, it had been replaced by a huge satellite photo with a width of half a meter and a length of nearly ten meters, just like a long scroll of Chinese painting, but he was referring to another one, which was a specially enlarged panorama of Yingtian.
"This is our home as seen from space."
He continued with a hint of smugness.
Invited to Daming celebrities from all walks of life, international friends immediately stepped forward, with a very cooperative expression of exclamation, because the tracking and control technology is more advanced, so the orbit of this satellite is basically round, the proportion of the spliced photos is basically the same, and the orbit is only 800 kilometers, plus the camera lens limit, the width is less than 100 kilometers, but this is enough, in the magnified image people can even see the streets of Yingtian, the cars moving on the streets, although these cars are not very clear.
"I've found my home!"
Xia Meng, who looked like a fairy in a long dress, suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Well, I didn't know your house was so close to mine!"
Yang Feng stretched out a finger and found that her home was less than a palm-length distance from his home, of course, it was almost a kilometer away, in fact, the seaside on both sides of his head of state stretched for dozens of kilometers, all of which were the most high-end villa areas, and there were countless wealthy businessmen, scientists, little stars, etc., who they were, he really didn't care, of course, Jin Yiwei must have a full set of information there.
"Your Excellency, then we can be considered neighbors."
A man with glasses next to him leaned over and said with a smiling face.
"Who is this?"
Yang Feng said suspiciously.
Well, this is someone's husband, after figuring out the latter's identity, Yang Yuanfeng is very lacking in enthusiasm, but it is obvious that Xia Meng's husband is excited to patronize, and it is his dream to be able to have a relationship with the Fuhrer, he said with a hint of humility: "Then as a neighbor, the despicable couple will come to visit in the future, and it won't be abrupt, right?" ”
"Of course not, the door of the Führer's Mansion is always open for you and Ms. Xia Meng."
Yang Feng looked at the beautiful woman next to him and said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he walked directly towards Johnson, who was looking at him meaningfully.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yang has always been more serious, but in the upper class of the United States, everyone knows that the Hollywood actresses who have an affair with this bastard have long exceeded double digits, and the two pillars of DreamWorks, Hepburn and Monroe, have been flying with him ten years ago, and now as long as he does not take the three ladies to the United States alone, the little Hollywood actresses are lining up to squeeze into his bed, and it is obvious that the Führer's claws have finally reached out to the grass by the nest.
But this is also commendable, after all, with his current status, these local stars are also going to line up to squeeze into his bed.
Of course, Johnson didn't know that the reason why Yang Yuanshou endured until now was only because the previous big-faced plate stars were really unattractive to him, and now the aesthetics of the Daming film and television industry are gradually meeting his standards.
"George, I heard that the Japanese People's Liberation Army captured the White River and approached Utsunomiya?"
Yang Feng leaned over to him and asked with a look of concern.
"Your Excellency, the U.S. military has just carried out a normal tactical retreat, and the Ninth Infantry Division transferred from the United States will soon join the battlefield, and at that time, it only takes a small counteroffensive to easily drive them back to Fukushima!"
Johnson said in a relaxed tone.
"That's good, that's good, the thing I'm most worried about now is the war situation in the Wa Kingdom, and I can't sleep at night when I think of more and more Wa brothers and sisters falling into their clutches, and you know that I have always had a deep affection for them. I'm sure I can't watch them sink into the fire pit, once the situation is critical, don't be embarrassed, although Ike and I do have a little conflict, he is a great soldier, a great commander, but as the president he is indeed a little uncomfortable, but now I am still very optimistic about Richard. You must tell him on my behalf, and if you need my help, he can just ask, and my two expeditionary strike groups are still in Kagoshima, ready to go north with soldiers to support you. ”
Yang Feng said babblingly.
"Then I will express my gratitude on behalf of the front-line soldiers."
Johnson said with a smile.
They did not know that at this time, the Ninth Infantry Division, which had just begun to land in Tokyo, was struggling in blood.
"What's that?"
Clarke, an American soldier who was walking down the gangway to the troop carrier, carrying his huge backpack, looked blankly at the northern sky, where a dozen or so things like meteors were getting brighter and brighter in the evening sky, and all the soldiers behind him stopped, looking curiously at this spectacular scene, they had just come from the Hawaiian beach, they had no idea what these meteors meant, and even one soldier was excitedly pointing to the sky and shouting something.
And at this moment, the sirens on the troop carrier behind them suddenly sounded, and then a military vehicle stopped at the dock with a screeching brake, and an officer rushed to them desperately, shouting hoarsely with horror as he ran: "Hide, hide, it's a Scud missile!" ”
The soldiers who had never experienced the fire of war looked at each other blankly, and the next moment the first meteor suddenly came, and before they could hear the whistling sound of breaking through the sky, on the pier more than 100 meters away, in the middle of a group of assembled American troops, the terrifying flames exploded. Like a plastic doll blown up by a hurricane, an entire company of American troops was swallowed up by the furious waves of flames in an instant, and then the explosion of air waves crashed with an earth-shattering loud noise, Clark subconsciously opened his mouth wide, hugged his head and screamed in horror, as if he had been hit by a car, and fell into the sea at once.
At the same time, more than a dozen meteors roared. (To be continued.) )
