A week after Ouyang Yun returned to Chongqing from Xichang, the "Kuafu II" carrier rocket carrying the "Chang'e-1" satellite carried out the first launch in human history. China has done a good job in keeping secrets. As of the launch day,
Not only do other countries in the world know nothing about this, but even the top leaders of the coalition government have very few people who know about it.
Simon was lucky because the superior room of the hotel he stayed in was equipped with a TV, and he happened to be watching TV at the time, so he was able to witness the entire launch process. The specific time was around 9:50, and Simon was watching with relish.
While watching a documentary broadcast on the Military Channel of China Central Radio and Television Station, the screen suddenly turned black, and when another picture appeared, what appeared on the screen was the Xichang Rocket Launch Site. On that day, the person who hosted the live broadcast was Mei Lanshu.
Mei Lanshu was confused when she received the hosting task, and because Li Ziwen, who gave her the task, was vague, she didn't understand what program she was going to host until she arrived at the Xichang Rocket Launch Site, "Today,
It is destined to be a festival for all the Chinese people." Mei Lanshu used this sentence to characterize this live broadcast. Then, based on the information provided by Radio 3, she began to introduce the huge launcher and Gundam 2 standing behind her.
The more than ten-meter-long "Kuafu II" launch vehicle and the "Chang'e-1" satellite loaded on the top of the rocket,
In terms of performance alone, the "Chang'e-1" satellite does not actually have practical value, but the launch itself has special significance. It is a breakthrough in the history of human science and technology and heralds the coming of a new era. From this point on
From a personal perspective, this launch is destined to be of extraordinary significance.
This live broadcast is also a challenge for China Central Radio and Television led by Li Ziwen. In order to do a good job in this live broadcast, Li Ziwen mobilized a total of nine cameras and as many as three sets of broadcast equipment. The hard work paid off. He
The thoughtful and meticulous preparations added a lot to the launch. The TV screen switched back and forth between the launch site and the command and launch center. Co-hosted by Mei Lanshu and three other hosts and reporters, the people in front of the TV
I was able to experience the entire launch process immersively.
The commander-in-chief of the launch was of course Hou Debang. After he received the report from the monitoring team and concluded that "'Chang'e-1' has entered the preset orbit," Simon was still comprehending the meaning of this sentence. Outside the window, there was already a sound on the streets of Chongqing.
Despite the crackling sound of firecrackers, this time without the government's intervention, the Chinese people in Chongqing and the five southeastern provinces spontaneously held a huge celebration. Amidst the continuous deafening sound of firecrackers, Simon stood up and watched the TV in a daze.
Mei Lanshu, who was still talking happily, suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling of fear in his heart.
"What you are hearing now is the song sent back to the ground by the 'Chang'e-1'. Fellow compatriots, if you have a radio at home or at hand, please tune it to a certain Hertz, then you can hear the 'Chang'e-1'
The songs coming back from space..." Mei Lanshu said loudly while holding a Xuebing radio, and in the upper left corner of her, the scene of the "Kuafu II" rocket taking off was being played back on the screen.
"The Chinese have successfully launched an artificial satellite into space, which means that China has the ability to carry out ground-to-ground attacks from its homeland to hostile countries within a certain range..."
"Our ally China has made another great progress in the aviation industry. They successfully launched an artificial satellite at the Xichang Rocket Launch Site in Sichuan. According to authoritative sources, when the satellite flew overhead, as long as If you have a semiconductor radio and tune it to a specific channel, you can listen to the song played by the satellite..."
...The above are reports from newspapers in the United States, France, the United Kingdom and other countries on China's successful launch of "Chang'e-1". In Japan, the Konoe Cabinet has tightened news control because it is worried that people or individuals with radios will misunderstand the news. I accidentally heard the sound emitted by "Chang'e 1", which had adverse effects. The Konoe Cabinet even issued a barbaric regulation, ordering households or individuals with radios to report to the local government...
There is nothing the Konoe cabinet can do about it, because after the naval battle in the Timor Sea, the defense of Guadalcanal, the air battle at Xuzhou, and the failure of the Inner Mongolia strategy, the morale of the people in Japan has been sluggish to a dangerous level, which has left Fumimaro Konoe mentally and physically exhausted. Yu began to worry that people's emotions were out of control. For this reason, cutting off the people's channels for obtaining external news became his last resort.
China successfully launched an artificial satellite, which was naturally a painful blow to the Japanese. Thanks to the Xuebingjun, the Japanese military and political leaders have long been aware of the technological gap between Japan and China and began to actively catch up. At one time, Yamamoto Isoroku and Koizumi Toshiichiro also proposed to trade time for victory, believing that with Japan's strong and complete military-industrial system, it would be able to catch up with the cadet army in a certain period of time and thus have the strength to fight a decisive battle with it. Yamamoto Isoroku This strategy of Shiliu and Koizumi Toshiichiro has been proven wrong after the test of time. However, because of the powerful existence of the combined fleet and Japan's firm control of Sumatra, a strategic resource area, they felt that There is always luck, and I always feel that there is still a chance to give it a try. The reality is so cruel. For Yamamoto and Koizumi, they have not yet reached the technological level of Xuebingjun before. Xuebingjun has reached another level in this regard. This naturally caused a lot of negative emotions in their hearts. For example, Koizumi Minichiro was almost knocked down by the news.
Koizumi Minichiro's deep stimulation is naturally related to the fact that he and Ouyang Yun have the same status, so it is inevitable that he can't figure out why he is always at a disadvantage since he is both a time traveler and his starting point is much higher than Ouyang Yun.
For China to be able to build satellites and successfully put them into low-Earth orbit, in Koizumi Toshiichiro's opinion, it is naturally Ouyang Yun's credit. Ouyang Yun has begun to turn his eyes to space. As for him, this is something Koizumi is not willing to face, but But there is no escaping the problem. Koizumi’s contribution to Japan is actually not small. In terms of military inventions and creations, the Fifty Special Attack Aircraft, the Mount Fuji Super Fighter, and the Combined Fleet’s development strategy of focusing on aircraft carriers are all because of his existence. What was achieved, originally, these were also great achievements, but compared with Ouyang Yun, these were not achievements, but became his shame.
Koizumi is still thinking about how to crack the Pacific Fleet's ship-to-ship missile tactics, but Ouyang Yun has already sent a satellite into space. As media people in Western countries said, "The Chinese successfully sent an artificial satellite into space."
Space, this means that China has the ability to carry out ground-to-ground attacks from its own territory to hostile countries within a certain range..." How could this not make Koizumi feel confused?
