In the Asian Cup, the Chinese team bloodied the Japanese team, which can be regarded as a round of pride, which is also the first heavyweight trophy won by Chinese football in an international competition. However, this matter was discussed by people for three or four days, and it was immediately replaced by another major event -- the launch of China's manned spacecraft Shenzhou 5!

Speaking of China's aerospace industry, like the national defense and military, it has made rapid progress under Qi Yiming's intervention. In just a few years, dozens of Beidou satellites have been launched into the sky, and there are more and more satellites for military and civilian use. The Chinese also set a record of launching a total of 45 satellites in a month.

Most of these launches are unannounced, and those who have the ability to monitor them should be monitored, and they will not say anything if they do not find out about China. In this way, China's space technology is growing exceptionally rapidly.

Recently, the Red Guard has looted all kinds of Russian property and technology, including the results of decades of Soviet space experience and technical data. These things have a certain value even if they are taken to another dimension in 2015, and they are relatively valuable assets for China now.

Of course, because of the existence of Qi Yiming, China has already mastered in advance technologies such as high-thrust launch vehicles, which were originally only coveted by China. The Long March 5B rocket, with a take-off weight of more than 800 tons, is capable of transporting 25 tons of cargo to low earth orbit, which is stronger than the Delta VI heavy launch vehicle, which has not yet been developed.

The reason why the Soviet Union's aerospace technology data is valuable lies in the fact that the Soviets have carried out a large number of designs, demonstrations, and tests, all of which have not been done by the Chinese astronauts, so they can be directly used for reference to see clearly those things that do not work, and those that are due to potential, which is equivalent to saving the Chinese astronauts a lot of repetitive useless work, and some mistakes can also become lessons from the past.

In addition to a large amount of technical empirical data, China has not taken all of Russia's space assets with it. The Mir space station, for example, remains the property of Russia. However, in order to maintain the space station and other projects that cannot be stopped, Roskosmos has made some cooperation with its Chinese counterparts. Even if many Russian experts are reluctant, believing that their Chinese counterparts are not qualified to carry their shoes, Russia is still in a state of de facto occupation by China, and without China's financial investment, it is unlikely that Russia's space program will continue.

In the original plane, the Americans pulled Russia to work on the International Space Station project, but a civil war broke out in Russia on this plane, so the Americans were not in a hurry, but after the dust settled, the Russians could no longer be their own masters. The United States is still enthusiastic about building the International Space Station, but the Russian Provisional Government has rejected it on the pretext that it has no intention of developing a space program for the time being. In other words, this is also normal, because the provisional government is basically set up by Qi Yiming and then made a transition, and no substantive projects will be carried out by them. The Americans will also have to wait for the election of a new Russian government.

Americans are still hesitant about China. As the suspicion between China and the United States has become more and more serious, the Americans have become more and more worried that China will acquire more technology and pose a greater threat to the United States, so that the conservative forces of the United States have begun to exclude cooperation with China in various fields, and cooperation with the International Space Station in the field of space has also seemed very slim.

However, even if the United States proposes cooperation, Qi Yiming will not agree. Because the most likely scenario is that China will pay a lot of money, and then send a few bureaucrats and one or two technicians to go through the motions, and finally the decision on the project is not in China's hands, and even the right to speak is thin, such cooperation is not interesting. Moreover, Qi Yiming does not need to rely on international cooperation to develop his own space technology, but he does not want other countries to know China's specific scientific and technological level.

China's aerospace industry seems to outsiders to be a toddler, but in fact, this young boy is a time-traveling person who already has the IQ and knowledge that only a few dozen years old have. He didn't start acting, but when he did, he was bound to be shocked.

Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base, it is not known how many rockets have been launched in recent years. This time it was completely different, a former Air Force colonel, as an astronaut, began the national flight road on behalf of the Chinese. Naturally, he will not be Major General Yang in another plane, but a pilot selected by the Air Force, who has flown J-6, J-7, J-10 and other models, and even participated in the recovery of Taiwan Island.

"Audience friends, I am CCTV reporter Xie Luwei, and now I am sending you a report from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It is now 5:20, the president of our country and the general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, beep (the signal is not good), came to the astronaut apartment Wentian Pavilion to participate in the astronaut recruitment ceremony. The famous female anchor of CCTV appeared on TV, the director cut the picture, and the head of No. 1 waved to the three astronauts of the first flight echelon through the big glass.

Chief No. 1 made a speech: "...... The party and the state attach great importance to China's manned space project, and all departments concerned have made meticulous preparations to ensure the success of this flight. Now that the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft is about to be launched, the three of you comrades are the first batch of astronauts in our country, and they all have good quality, strong will, and excellent skills. This is a very honorable mission and a very great feat.

At this moment, the people of all ethnic groups across the country, including your family and your comrades-in-arms, are paying attention to you and looking forward to you, and we believe that you will be calm, resolute and resolute to successfully accomplish this glorious and lofty mission. We wish this flight a complete success, and we look forward to your victorious return! ”

Soon, the chief astronaut came to the command center in a spacesuit, saluted the commander-in-chief, and said loudly: "Comrade commander-in-chief, I am ordered to carry out the first manned spacecraft flight mission, and I am ready to go on the expedition, please instruct." Chinese People's Liberation Army astronaut brigade, astronauts beep beep (the signal is not good again). ”

"Let's go!"

At 8 o'clock, everything was ready, the astronauts also entered the spacecraft, and various pre-action inspections were completed. The commander-in-chief began the countdown, and when the 10 seconds were over, the commander-in-chief shouted ignition, and the Long March 5 heavy-lift carrier rocket spewed out a strong firelight, and the rocket broke free from the earth's gravity and slowly rose into the air. Unlike the Long March 2 launch vehicle, which uses the Long March 2 launch vehicle in another plane, this launch directly uses the Long March 5. Moreover, the actual technical content and space size of the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft are also much stronger than the spacecraft of the same name in another plane.

"The telemetry signal is normal, and the program turns."

"Radar tracking is normal, optical tracking is normal."

……

Maybe he had seen too many rocket launches in another plane, so Qi Yiming wasn't particularly excited about it. But seeing the crowds waiting to watch the launch from all over the country from the TV broadcast, the kind of cheers and tears in his eyes made Qi Yiming feel the excitement of ordinary Chinese people for a while. Even if China has done a lot of great things and made more achievements, the Chinese, who have suffered for too long and suffered too much, will never dislike too many opportunities to raise their eyebrows and exhale anger. Manned space flight is the best embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological level, and only a truly big country has the strength to independently accomplish this arduous challenge, and so far only the Soviet Union and the United States have completed this task in the world. Although China started decades late, it is full of confidence and is making great strides to catch up with the achievements of the United States and the Soviet Union.

It is precisely because of the accumulation of things such as manned spaceflight, hosting the Olympic Games and World Expos, and the inclusion of aircraft carriers that the Chinese have gradually established the feelings of the people of their own big country and are more motivated to work hard to achieve the goal of national rejuvenation and national prosperity. A strong country can only hope to grow and grow on its soil if it does things and makes people remember itself.

Compared with China, Russia on the other side is also a big country, and even in general, the standard of living and scientific and technological strength are much stronger than China, but Russia is constantly sinking. Because Russia at that time could no longer regain the pride of the Soviet era, and constantly struggled with negative emotions, enjoying the money brought by resources, but losing the mood to fight for glory. Even when Russia once again confronts the West for its own interests, many Westerners are not worried about them, because this Russia is not worth their fear.

The first manned space flight was very short, less than a day. After that, the return capsule of Shenzhou 5 landed on the grassland of Inner Mongolia, the astronauts walked out of the return capsule, and the commander-in-chief announced the successful completion of China's first manned space flight.

Naturally, this incident has aroused widespread repercussions in the world, and foreigners have also been strengthened by the great things that China has accomplished about China's national strength and international status. But more and more people are beginning to speak to China in a skeptical tone.

A US Republican senator said on CNN that China has begun to replace the Soviet Union in all aspects and has developed into a challenger to the global leadership of the United States, and the US government and people must be extra vigilant. In addition, we should find ways to limit the start of war on China's space program, and if a new round of space-space arms race breaks out, although the United States has absolute superiority, it will never be a good thing.

Of course, there are also those who are not good at seeing people, and some media believe that the reason why China was able to achieve the success of manned space flight is related to its wanton search for space technology in the Soviet Union. They also did not take into account in the slightest that China had carried out four Shenzhou spacecraft launches before Shenzhou 5, all of which were carried out step by step, and it is nonsense to say that China can only succeed by relying on the legacy of the Soviet Union.
