Chapter 453: Launching Satellites
"I know you may not understand it yet, but when the matter here is over, I will let Lao Hu show you a detailed interpretation of the information. In short, with satellites, we are now leading the world for many years. Especially in large-scale operations, we will be able to know the opponent's movements at any time, and then let us strike first. Chen Jinghui said.
"Well, although I don't really understand, but I feel it, this thing you are talking about seems to be the same as the telephone and transmitter we use now, but it is substantially different." Commander Mao said.
"The commander is right, that's probably what he meant." Chen Jinghui said.
"Then how sure are you that when this rocket will be launched?" Commander Mao asked.
"Commander, this thing is something that we have just succeeded, and theoretically there should be no problem. But as a scientific study, a new technology may have to go through countless experiments before it can succeed. Therefore, we are only 60% sure of whether this time it will be successful or not. But regardless of the success or failure of this time, this is our valuable experience, which will bring us several great help for our future research. Hu Yi said.
"Lao Hu, scientists, I know that you have paid a lot for the country. But I would like to implore you to continue to work hard to develop our country into a truly powerful country and never again be bullied by any country. Again, I would like to thank you all in advance. Chen Jinghui stood up and bowed to the scientists present.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, don't say that. Actually, we should thank you for giving me the opportunity to show what we've learned. Now we not only have our own academic research, but also can contribute to the country, and you deserve a share of this. If you want to thank you, it should be the people of the whole country who thank you. Thought the scientist said.
In this way, they discussed with each other, and after lunch, Chen Jinghui personally inspected the launch site and the preparations for the launch. After confirming that it was correct, everyone began to wait and wait for that moment to come.
"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, Commander Jiang has arrived."
In the evening, Commander Chiang finally arrived in Taiyuan on a plane with night flight capability sent by Chen Jinghui.
"Commander Jiang is good." Everyone at the scene saluted Commander Chiang.
"Old thing, just waiting for you." Commander Mao said.
"Niang Xipi, what are you doing, it's so mysterious, I have to come at night." Commander Jiang said unhappily.
"Lao Hu, give a specific introduction to Commander Jiang." Chen Jinghui said.
"Commander, there is one thing that the two commanders need to witness in person today, specifically......" Everyone walked inside, and Hu Yi introduced the launch of the satellite to Commander Jiang.
"Report, the rocket has arrived."
"Okay, immediately place the rocket on the launch pad."
"Yes"
Then, everyone in the command center saw a truck slowly approaching the launcher, and there was no compartment on the truck, only a huge cylinder, which looked like a huge cannonball.
Wow......
When the rocket transporter delivered the rocket to the launch frame, the staff at the scene pulled the sail on the car, and everyone at the scene was shocked by the big guy in front of them, except for Chen Jinghui and scientists. One by one, they looked at the things in front of them with their mouths wide open, and said that this is a rocket, which is too big! This thing doesn't even have wings, can it fly into the sky?
"Commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, everyone, this is the first generation of rocket we have just developed, and the deputy commander-in-chief has named it the Long March-1 rocket. This time, he sent a military satellite into space. If successful, we will continue to launch four to five rockets this month to deliver military satellites and communications satellites into space. Hu Yi introduced.
"Lao Hu, you don't have to accompany us here, go down and prepare!" Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes"
"Check the data and reconfirm it before launching." Hu Yi left the observation platform, went down to the specific monitoring area, and began to get busy.
Chen Jinghui and the commander looked out through the glass, and they saw that the huge rocket was slowly hoisted up by the workers, and then erected little by little, and slowly transported to the launch frame. In the end, after two hours of hard work by the workers, the rocket was finally smoothly placed on the launch stand.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, the rocket has been equipped." Hu Yi came over to report.
"When will it be launched?" Chen Jinghui asked.
"Back to the deputy commander, according to the plan, the launch time is set for ten o'clock in the night. Now we are adjusting the launcher data in preparation for the launch of the rocket. Hu Yi said.
"Okay, I'll report when everything is ready." Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes"
Hu Yi left again, and then began to get busy with the scientists. It was their first time, and the first time in human history, after all, and everyone looked very nervous and excited.
Tick tock......
As the clock passed, the hands of the clock began to approach ten o'clock little by little, and slowly the time reached nine fifty o'clock.
"Turn on the launcher." Hu Yi gave the order.
Immediately after everyone saw that the launch stand that had just been holding the rocket tightly began to slowly open to both sides, moving away from the rocket little by little, and finally everyone saw the huge rocket, erected majestically and independently on the launch pad. It looked so steady, like a soldier standing in a standard military posture, motionless.
Soon, the launch pad was fully opened, and Hu Yi came to Chen Jinghui and the commander to report again.
"Report, whether to enter the countdown to launch." Hu Yi asked.
"Enter the countdown." Chen Jinghui said.
"Yes" Hu Yi left, and then everyone on the scene heard the sound of a countdown on the radio.
Ten
Nine
Eight
Seven
Six
The countdown of the last ten seconds began, and everyone began to get nervous, one by one clenched their fists, their two eyes kept staring at the rocket on the launch rack outside, and the whole person was motionless, nervous and excited waiting for the last moment to come.
Five
Four
Three
Two
One
ignition
With the last ignition command, the underside of the rocket outside suddenly exploded like a huge bomb, and began to spray huge flames, engulfing the surrounding area of the rocket at once.
Boom Boom Boom ......
As the flames continued to strengthen, a rumbling sound began to erupt around them. Gradually, everyone at the scene saw that the rocket began to slowly rise under the impetus of the flames. The initial ascent is slow, but the gradual ascent accelerates and eventually begins to rise rapidly.
And Chen Jinghui and the commander were in the command center with their heads up, watching this big guy with a huge flame go up into the air, like a huge torch flying high into the sky, flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther, and gradually only a small red dot could be seen, just like the stars in the sky.
"Lao Jiang, this thing is flying, it really is flying." Commander Mao excitedly patted Commander Jiang's arm and said.
"Niang Xipi, I really can't imagine that something without wings can fly, and it can fly so high, I can't even see it." Commander Jiang said.
"Two commanders, we can see it here. You see this point on the radar is the rocket that we just launched, and it's still going up at the moment. Chen Jinghui pointed to a spot on the radar in front of him and said.
"That's it, it's still flying, how far is he going to fly." Commander Jiang asked.
"Two commanders, this time our military satellite is going to transport outside the atmosphere, that is, at an altitude of more than ten kilometers." Chen Jinghui said.
"It's unthinkable to fly so high." Commander Mao said.
"Okay, two commanders, let's not speak, continue to watch, and wait for the last moment." Chen Jinghui said.
"Report the data."
"Fuel OK"
"The propulsion system is normal"
"The first quarter was a smooth disengagement, normal."
"Flight trajectory is normal"
"The ascent rate is normal"
……
Hu Yi kept asking all the scientists present about the existing data of the rocket and monitoring the situation of the rocket in real time.
"Three kilometres to the scheduled orbit"
Two kilometers
One kilometer
Five hundred meters
Two hundred meters
One hundred meters
Fifty meters
Ten meters
"The rocket has reached the predetermined orbit and is opening the hatch to release the satellite."
"Releasing the Satellite Normal"
"The satellite has been completely released, the rocket has run out of fuel and is starting to fall."
"The satellites are turning on and everything is working fine."
"The satellite began to officially enter orbit, began to move. Lao Hu, we have become, we have succeeded. ”
"It worked, we made it"
Oh...... Oh......
The satellite began to enter the predetermined orbit and began to operate normally. The scientists at the scene immediately announced to everyone that the launch was a complete success. Everyone at the scene immediately hugged each other excitedly, leaving tears of joy. With their hats still in the air, they began to shout loudly, holding hands with each other and dancing merrily.
"Lao Hu, look, this is the image transmitted back by satellite, look at it, it's very clear." The chief engineer of satellite shooting said excitedly.
"Report all the data," Hu Yi said.
"Data connection is normal"
"The shooting system is working fine."
……
The scientists sat down again and checked the satellite's data. It was only after the second data picture was obtained that the satellite launch was a complete success.
"Commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, we succeeded, we succeeded, this is the picture that our satellites sent back."
The satellite was successfully launched, and Hu Yi took the pictures sent back by the satellite and hit the commander and Chen Jinghui, so that they could witness their research results over the past year or so. It proves that they have lived up to expectations, lived up to Chen Jinghui's entrustment, did not waste the resources invested in them by the state, and did not live up to everyone's expectations of them. They succeeded, succeeded......
