Chapter 1,757 The fruit is ripe and the fruit has fallen
On December 1, An Yi presided over the opening ceremony of the entire Beijing-Anhui Railway and secretly came to the Kua Thanh Satellite Launch Base built northwest of Dien Bien Phu.
The Kuacheng Satellite Launch Base was built in May last year. It is located near 22 degrees north latitude and 103 degrees east longitude. The later Xichang and Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centers are almost at the same longitude, and the latitude is similar to Xichang and Wenchang Satellite Launch Centers. Due to the high altitude of satellite launches
The lower the latitude, the more obvious the advantage. In the future, it is expected that a rocket launch base will be built further south. However, for the sake of confidentiality, it can only be built in the northwest mountainous area of the Red River Plain with relatively stable geological characteristics.
In the past two years, the Rocket Research Institute has designed different types of artificial satellites and even space capsules for testing. In addition to being thrown into the vacuum chamber for testing, the space capsules also need to be soaked in water. They were first thrown into a pool, and later
Throw it into the Aral Sea to test the salt corrosion problem.
The next morning, five o'clock in the morning.
After a night of lingering with the beauty, An Yi came to the control room of the launch center half an hour after Ding Molan left. At this time, Ding Molan was already dressed like a strong woman, with her black hair braided on her head and covered up by a white coat.
He has a good figure and looks very energetic.
Ding Molan blushed when she saw An Yi, then she pretended to be nonchalant and stepped forward to introduce: "This first satellite is called 'Polaris' No. 1. It weighs 1525 kilograms and has many precision instruments on it, including temperature measurement.
, pressure measurement, radio wave measurement, radiation measurement, communication antenna, radar, small camera, etc., almost everything we can think of is packed in.
"This launch is a secret launch. After the satellite takes off, it will only transmit radio signals to the ground when it enters the sky over Nanhua. What is special is that the satellite body will operate in orbit for several years, but it can use the return capsule,
Drop a film roll onto the ground. After taking several shots of a film roll, you can return it to the ground.
"A total of eight rolls of film are installed on the satellite, and accordingly there are eight return capsules. At present, Polaris-1 cannot be used for military reconnaissance and can only play a role in scientific detection. The performance of the camera it carries is not very good.
It is top-notch, and its weight and caliber are not large. This is mainly because the satellite also needs to undertake many other tasks."
An Yi saw the flashing data on the electronic screen in the launch center and asked curiously: "Does the rocket still use Uncle Nikolai's rocket engine technology?"
Ding Molan replied with a smile: "Although it is the same technology, there are some innovations in the details. This time the rocket was personally reviewed by Uncle Nicholas and named 'Saturn I'. It is a three-section rocket with a total weight of 145 tons.
This type of liquid rocket can push a 1,600 kilogram payload to a low Earth orbit at a height of 400 kilometers. According to computer simulation demonstrations, the success rate is as high as 95.8%."
An Yi nodded, and accompanied by Ding Molan, came to the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Against the background of the night, lights from far and near gathered on the rocket erected on the launcher, and the blue paint sprayed on the surface of the rocket reflected
Lights, shining brightly.
At 5:30 in the morning, the countdown ended and the rocket was officially launched.
At 5:44, the third stage rocket stalled, the satellite protective cover was opened, and the satellite officially entered the preset orbit. It began to unfold the solar panels according to the predetermined procedure, capture the three preset stars, correct its position, and transmit signals to the ground.
.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers in the command center, and everyone looked excited.
An Yi looked at the satellite signals coming from the screen in the control room of the Satellite Launch Center and had mixed feelings in his heart. He never imagined that a satellite that needed to appear in the 1950s would actually appear in his hands more than ten years in advance.
Sometimes things are just like this. Maybe a change will not have a big change in the course of history. However, when many impossible things come together and work together, they will change from quantitative to qualitative, and almost everything will happen. An irrepressible chemical reaction.
At the beginning, An Yi Qianggang was arbitrary and spent huge sums of money to establish a scientific research institute. He just wanted to develop some military-related technologies on his own and study some common-sense weapons and equipment in his memory to strengthen the Anjiajun's military power and make the army more capable. It won’t be too far behind this era because of foreign influence.
However, with more and more scientists from various countries joining after the economic crisis, cooperation with Germans, and talents who have returned from studying in Europe and the United States, the institute has become involved in more and more scientific categories.
The more categories there are, the more technologies are needed, such as various precision machine tools, more and more advanced aircraft and automobile engine technologies, alloys that need to strengthen the strength of engines and tank armor, and radios that solve the problem of troop communication. Computer concepts were introduced to solve computing problems, etc. Therefore, various laboratories had to be set up to solve various difficult problems.
Later, Tesla, a genius joined him, and Ding Molan, who inherited Tesla's legacy and was always inspired by Tesla's genius ideas, and more people who returned from European and American countries and were trained by various universities in South China The joining of elites has made Nanhua's scientific research level more and more advanced.
Finally, the participation of Jewish and Soviet scientists completely pushed Nanhua's science and technology forward a big step, allowing Nanhua to complete a key step from qualitative change to quantitative change, and finally the advent of satellites that are now more than ten years ahead of the times.
Of course, An Yi's success is also inseparable from the initial layout. As early as two or three years before the economic crisis, Ou Yaoting used Nanyang as his base, extended his tentacles into all aspects of Southeast Asia, and had a good relationship with the colonial government.
During the economic crisis, timely expansion in the United States and Europe enabled Chinese groups to rapidly expand to Europe and the United States and gain a certain say in political and economic activities.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the influx of Jews allowed Nanhua to maintain a good relationship with the Jewish group. Under such circumstances, Nanhua was always able to obtain many of the most core secrets and technologies of European and American countries.
Today, everything has fallen into place, and the feeling of success is so wonderful.
An Yi was in a flood of emotions, listening to the roar of laughter and laughter in the control room of the launch center. He turned around and looked at Ding Molan with gratitude: "Mo Lan, the staff of your Rocket Research Center are really hardworking and accomplished... By the way, When is Satellite 2 going to be launched?”
The No. 2 satellite mentioned by An Yi is actually Polaris 2. It is a candidate satellite with the same structure as Polaris 1. In other words, in order to ensure the success of the launch, the institute specially prepared two launch vehicles and two If the launch of Polaris-1 fails, Polaris-2 will be launched as a replacement in time to ensure success as soon as possible.
"Brother Yi, this is what we should do, there is no problem of contribution!"
Ding Moran was also very happy. The satellite was successful for the first time. This fully shows that the work she led is successful and answered with joy:
"Now that the North Star No. 1 has been launched successfully, there is no need to launch the second No. 2 for the time being. According to the plan, we need to collect the operating information of the North Star No. 1, and then launch the No. 2 after one month.
Arranged in ***, the bases of Central Asia and South China emit signals to expand our monitoring area. "
An Yi nodded, and then asked again: "What is the plan of the Rocket Research Center in the next step?"
Ding Moran said excitedly: "The current plan is to launch five satellites within a year, of which three times are used to test the appearance design of the satellite that can return to the earth.
Automatically control flight and return test, the next man manned flying plan. It is estimated that by mid -1945 or the end of the year, our manned satellite can be empty. "
Speaking of which, Ding Moran was worried that An Yi had a slow progress, looked at him with affection, and patiently explained: "In fact, this speed is already fast, and many practical problems need to be done by Uncle Nicholas aside.
Guidance, such as the operation of satellites on track, retrograde track, equatorial track.
"The satellites we now launch entered the smooth track after launch. It can effectively use the speed of the Earth from west to east to eastward, greatly saving the energy of the rocket. After the Northern Star No. 1, we will rotate the emitter through the equatorial rotation speed and the launch position.
The geographical latitude of the corner and launch point, accurately calculate the rotation speed of the earth. According to the calculation on the computer, when the satellite is launched in the east direction of the equator, the maximum speed that can be available can be
The smaller.
"As for the retrograde track, according to the calculation on the computer, the track inclination of the satellite should be greater than 90 degrees. It is necessary to send it into this orbit to run.
Part of the speed, and also pay extra energy to overcome the earth's rotation ... "
As soon as An Yi heard it, he interrupted Ding Moran's words: "Since this satellite has all aspects of the disadvantages, why should it be launched?"
Ding Moran said with a smile: "Brother Yi, the surface of the earth is not an ideal spherical shape, and its gravity distribution is very uneven, which makes the satellite track plane constantly changes in the inertial space. Specifically, the Earth equatorial part has some drums.
The additional appeal to the operating satellites will slowly change the orbital plane, and the changing direction is related to the orbital inclination.
"When the orbital inclination of the satellite is greater than 90 degrees, the attractiveness is in the direction of the clockwise direction, so the orbital plane then moves east from west to east.
About 1 degree east, it should be equivalent to the daily average angle speed of the Earth around the sun.
"The satellites running on this track can observe satellite cloud layers and ground targets under the same time and light conditions. According to our ideas, future weather, resources, reconnaissance and other application satellites, this kind of track should be used.
"
An Yi nodded again and again. The interval is like a mountain, and many things do not know, and these are the role that top scientists such as Ding Moran can play.
Ding Moran saw An Yi looked at herself with admiration, and was proud of her heart, and then said: "In the first two tracks, there is a third track, which is the equatorial track.
Satellites run over the equator. There are countless tracks, but one of them has an extraordinary significance.
"According to Uncle Tesla's idea, because the speed of satellite flight changes with the height of the ground, the higher the orbit, the smaller the speed, and the longer the surround cycle. Therefore, you can know that when the satellite is on the equator
On the circular orbit of the distance, the time of running from west to east will be the same as the time of rotation of the earth for a week. This orbit is named the earth's static track by us.
"Because the satellite surrounding cycle is equal to the Earth's self -rotation cycle, and the direction of the two is completely the same, it remains relatively static with each other. From the ground, the satellite is like a certain point above the equator.
Three communication satellites are evenly distributed on the top to carry out global communication. At the same time, some meteorological satellites, warning satellites, can also be sent into this relatively static track ... "
When An Yi heard so complicated, he waved his hand: "I am a layman, you can do it. By the way, what plans do you have about the research and development of large -scale carrier rockets?"
"The Saturn 5 carrier rocket has been tested on the ground. He weighs 532 tons, and can send 12.5 tons to a low -orbit. Our future manned plan depends on him."
"How much is this carrier rocket?" An Yi thought for a while, and asked again.
Ding Moran laughed: "About 10 million Hu $, which is four times the one of Saturn. According to the plan, the next to 4 will be a light carrier rocket, the five to 8 is a large -scale carrier rocket.
Named after Jupiter. "
Huang Luyi, commander of the Air Force, who followed Anyi to visit, blurted: "OK, so expensive! A carrier rocket is equivalent to twenty jet fighters, the price of the latest piston propeller fighter, and this is still
It does not include the price of satellite or spacecraft. "
"The power of the carrier rocket plus satellite is completely regarded as this price."
An Yi's eyes were serious, looking at Huang Yanyi and Yang Fei, Deng Bin, Chang Baofang, etc. who were next to him, were full of persistence:
"Don't look at the expensive carrier rocket. When the satellite technology it carries is mature, just pay attention to the electromagnetic signal and find where the radio connection is dense, you can roughly know where the enemy uses soldiers. If the image technology improves, real -time monitoring through the satellite monitoring
The enemy's every move is under the monitoring, but the other party has nothing to do with you, and is there a more wonderful thing than this?
"Furthermore, the aircraft's navigation and status in the air, the positioning of the naval ship and the communication contact of the army can be completed through satellites. This is not done by the airship radar. In addition, we can also launch a variety of economic value
Satellites, such as communication satellites, navigation satellites, meteorological satellites that provide meteorological forecasting services, and satellites that can conduct remote test investigations and satellites of photographic satellites.
Link us closely together.
"Taking into account both commercial and military uses, the development potential is huge. This is why we must develop rocket launch technology and satellite technology."
Feeling An Yi's strong will, Huang Xunyi quickly explained:
"The development of satellite technology will also be of great benefit to our Air Force. I naturally support this with both hands! Many of the newly installed electronic equipment of our Air Force will probably need to be updated soon!"
An Yi was relieved, shook his head and said: "No need for the time being, it is a waste to put expensive radars on fighter jets, let alone other more advanced electronic equipment! With the current weapons and equipment, we can definitely obtain airborne weapons."
initiative! In fact, if it were not taboo for domestic intricacies
With various relations, we are already capable of regaining our land in North China and Northeast China! But now, it’s better to wait until we eliminate the Japanese in Malaya, Burma, India and Persia, and then go back to solve China and the Far East
The Japanese troops in the area completely drove the Japanese out of our territory!"
All the generals knew what An Yi meant.
Chiang Kai-shek used aid from the United States and powerful military-industrial enterprises such as Jiangnan Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal to build a well-trained army with excellent weapons and equipment.
At that time, An Yi compiled more than ten military textbooks for the Central Military Academy, including "Engineer Drill Code", "Basic Military Course for Non-commissioned Officers", "Army Infantry, Artillery, Engineer and Arms Tactical Coordination", "Infantry Basic Training Course", "Infantry Shooting Training"
"Tutorial", "Infantry Division Combat Training and Housekeeping Regulations", and "Mountain Training and Operations Preliminary Study" were designated as required textbooks by Chiang Kai-shek. All officers must study them systematically and conduct assessments organized by the Military and Political Department and the General Staff Headquarters.
In addition, a large number of grassroots officers from the Central Army took turns to serve in Lu Yixuan's 30th Group Army. They experienced the spirit of the model camp and required that the solid work style must be brought back to the original army.
In a sense, the Central Army copied the Anjia Army. No one knows how effective it will be, but the newly formed elite army of up to four million people is where Chiang Kai-shek's confidence lies.
However, these troops were not used in the war against Japan. Most of those fighting against the Japanese in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Northern Anhui and Northern Jiangsu were Sichuan Army, Guangxi Army, Guangdong Army, Jin Army, Northeastern Army, etc.
Local Army. The war has entered its third phase.
At the beginning of this year, the Communist Party of China had no intention of expanding the war. After experiencing the initial enthusiasm, the Central Army and the local army no longer tried to regain the lost territory and began to acquiesce in the current confrontation. The entire main battlefield has formed a criss-cross situation.
.
Contrary to the frontal battlefield, the battlefield behind enemy lines is booming. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army have established base areas one after another in Suiyuan, Rehe, Chahar, Hebei, Shandong and other places to deal with the Lanyin people who cooperated with the Japanese invaders.
The traitors and the Japanese army launched a tit-for-tat struggle, and their influence expanded day by day.
Faced with the harsh reality, the Lanyin people who migrated to a strange land in large numbers finally recognized the reality. After all, the Japanese were hiding in the city, but the countryside was the territory of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Their reports would certainly be obtained.
A reward for the Japanese, but after the Japanese troops left, their homes were usually destroyed.
After learning a bloody lesson, the Lanyin people no longer dared to inform the Japanese army, and instead cooperated with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. Everyone needs a language environment, and many Lanyin people began to try to learn Mandarin and communicate in Mandarin.
Through communication, it gradually gained recognition from the military and civilians in the base area.
In the northwest, the entire territory of *** and most places in Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia, the base area created by Huang Han and Li Xiaolong, various industrial facilities are also being established. Through trade with the Sichuan South Group, the strength of the base area has also increased.
In the rapid expansion, a variety of materials support operations on the battlefield behind enemy lines.
After Hull's visit to Beijing, he immediately paid a state visit to Nanjing. As the legitimate leader of the Chinese government, Chiang Kai-shek was also the teacher of An Yi, Chairman of the Republic of South China, and his international influence naturally increased accordingly. With the French
The fall of the country and Britain's precarious situation. Looking around, Chiang Kai-shek was pleasantly surprised to find that he had become the leader of the third largest democratic country after Roosevelt and Churchill.
The situation in China today is many times better than that of China in real history. The essence of Jiangnan has not been lost. Guangdong and Guangxi are impregnable due to the existence of Nanhua. In addition, various factories have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
, although most of the trade objects were Nanhua, they obtained much-needed food, guns and ammunition in exchange. In addition, most of the landless farmers who caused tension in rural class conflicts migrated to Nanhua, making it possible for farmers to have land.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek logically believed that he, the leader of the third largest country, had the capital to rival Roosevelt and Churchill.
In fact, this was indeed the case. During Hull's trip to Nanjing, he signed a series of agreements with Chiang Kai-shek, fully respecting the authority of Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of East Asia, which greatly satisfied Chiang Kai-shek's self-esteem.
