Return to the red age

"It's a pity that Fat Goose doesn't sell related technologies. Since the last flight in the late 1980s, they have not sold space shuttle-related technologies."

"If they sell space shuttle-related technologies, we may be able to save time in the space field." Sun Aiguo is looking forward to the space station and putting the national flag on the moon, but he also knows that it is very difficult.

"In fact, the space shuttle is not as cost-effective as they think." Liu Hai has the most say in this matter. It is precisely because the space shuttle looks so high-end that the bald eagle almost collapsed.

Bald Eagle's space shuttle costs hundreds of millions of dollars per flight and has flown more than 100 times in total.

What is the result?

The result is that Fat Bear collapsed. From a political perspective, this is a victory, but from an economic perspective, the cost-effectiveness of the space shuttle is not as high as the subsequent return capsule.

The original intention of the space shuttle design was to reduce the cost of space activities, but it has increased it instead.

And the risk is also very high.

Of course, it is undeniable that Bald Eagle is the most successful in the space shuttle project.

Fat Goose's space shuttle is actually more successful than Bald Eagle in some ways.

The reason why the space shuttle of Fat Goose is more successful than that of Bald Eagle is that it has the advantage of being a latecomer.

Unfortunately, Fat Goose has only carried out one space flight.

The space shuttle of Fat Goose carried out a space flight mission in the late 1980s, and it was unmanned.

The data of this test is much better than that of Bald Eagle, but it is a pity that Fat Goose was separated in the late 1980s.

In 2020, there is still a space shuttle of Fat Goose in the museum over in Sandezi.

At the launch site in Kazakhstan, there is also a space shuttle that has become a waste.

"That's true." Sun Aiguo also knows something about this. In the past, each launch of Bald Eagle cost hundreds of millions of dollars. If we do it now, it will probably cost nearly one billion each time.

What's wrong with having so much money?

With such a large amount of money, how much economy can be driven by using it on domestic infrastructure to build roads in remote rural areas.

Now the top priority of our country is to make everyone well-off.

We must work hard to improve transportation, education, and medical care in remote areas.

Of course, we cannot give up the success of the current rocket recycling technology in the space sector, which can greatly reduce the cost in this area and earn money from abroad.

According to Liu Hai's estimate, we should be able to land on the moon in 2010.

Because our economic development is very healthy now, unlike the economic development in the previous life, which relied on emptying the wallets of residents and real estate.

Behind the seemingly huge economic growth is the debt pressure borne by most families.

Now our economy is mainly manufacturing and science and technology, especially the semiconductor and communication industries. How much income and jobs can they bring to the country.

Europe can only develop the Internet economy and the financial industry in the future.

The physical manufacturing industry is getting worse and worse. To be honest, the physical manufacturing industry does not have the Internet and does not make money as fast as the financial industry.

In addition, there are some conflicts of interest between the various countries in Europe. Even if Europe becomes the European Union, there are still many contradictions between their countries.

And Europe is also facing a problem, that is, there is a fat goose on one side and a bald eagle on the other.

Europe must check and balance these two companies. If either of these two companies rises again, then Europe will have a hard time.

Europe's geopolitics determines that it must suppress the fat goose and the bald eagle.

In this way, he will be even more dependent on our manufacturing and our products.

Use our products to impact the manufacturing of the bald eagle.

Then use the energy of the Middle East to impact the energy of the fat goose.

If the fat goose can't make too much money from energy exports, then he will never think of developing.

Liu Hai didn't make any suggestions on the development of space, because he didn't know much about it. Although he knew the general direction, there was no need to make these suggestions.

The superior department is not short of smart people. Now we have money and technology, and we will definitely develop in the space.

Let alone the global navigation system, it came out much earlier than in history.

Historically, we suffered a lot from the West in the global navigation system.

Of course, it is precisely because we suffered that we built our own navigation system, and Europe also built its own navigation system, and the fat goose also has its own.

However, the navigation system of the fat goose is a bit too rubbish, mainly because he does not have enough money to upgrade his navigation satellites, and even the satellites with poor performance are not enough for replacement.

"I want to take out my money too!" Sun Aiguo took a sip of tea and said.

"Old factory director, we have discussed this issue. It doesn't matter if you pay it yourself, but what about the other old brothers who are doing this with you?"

"They are not like you, with a high retirement salary?"

"If you pay it out and they don't take it, they will feel bad?" Liu Hai firmly opposed this matter, because some of the other comrades with Sun Aiguo did not have such a strong economy as Sun Aiguo for various reasons.

If Sun Aiguo took the lead in paying it out, would others not pay it?

"And with your little money, it's better for me to pay more."

When Sun Aiguo heard this, he admitted that Liu Hai's words were reasonable. His level determined that he basically spent nothing on food, clothing, and housing in the past, while some of the other old guys didn't have very good families due to various reasons.

They were able to go to the countryside with him and do things together entirely because of their comrades, because of those comrades who had not yet returned home.

"That's enough, that's enough. Don't take any more money. You haven't used up the money you took last year!" When Sun Aiguo heard that Liu Hai wanted to take money, he quickly refused.

"Actually, I want every village to build roads for them, but there are quite a lot of conflicts in some villages, and some village chiefs don't care at all."

"In this account book, I have inspected every road construction place several times, especially the character and work of their village chiefs," Sun Aiguo said.

Liu Hai nodded when he heard this: "I believe that the old factory director did it. In fact, sometimes you, the old factory director, can show off your arrogance. For example, if you are dissatisfied with the village chief of any place, you can directly ask the local village chief to do it." Express it.”

"After all, if the road can be repaired, it will bring benefits to the villagers. There is no need to delay the development of other villagers for the sake of one or two people."

Liu Hai knew Sun Aiguo and didn't want to use his identity to pressure others.

However, Liu Hai felt that Sun Aiguo was able to accomplish this matter so smoothly solely because of his identity.

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Of course Sun Aiguo knew what Liu Hai meant. As long as he said that he was dissatisfied with a certain village chief, the village chief would have to go home to plant sweet potatoes the next day, and maybe even go in to serve the iron rice bowl.

"Old factory director, for the sake of one person, he delays the development of the entire village. Even if he is just a piece of stinking shit, I will step on him hard. If such a person stays in the village, he will only delay the village more and more. development.”

"For you, it's just a matter of extending your hand, but the villagers in the village may have to endure it for many years."

"For the villagers, you are always doing good things." Of course Liu Hai knew Sun Aiguo's worries, but he was still a little afraid that gossip would affect his reputation.

"If it were me, I would not only step down on the village chief, but also kick away those who promoted the village chief."

"And the old factory director also underestimated people like them. If you leave the matter to them, they will guarantee that you will do well because your status is here."

Sun Aiguo nodded when he heard Liu Hai's words: "What you said makes sense. There is no need to delay the development of the village for the sake of one or two people. It was my fault before."

"There are some people who are ignorant and ignorant of current affairs, but they are too few. You just assign tasks to them. They may do some tricks in other matters, but you don't dare to lend them a few courages to deal with your old affairs. ”

"I'll think about it later. I still have to report to the superiors, so I'll leave first. Come to my place for tea in a few days."

"Of course no problem!"

After Sun Aiguo left, Liu Hai picked up the account book and took a look at it.

Sun Aiguo used part of the money to buy motorcycles and the other part to build roads.

And most of the roads are built on gravel roads.

Because for villages in remote places now, being able to build gravel roads is already considered very good.

If we build cement roads now, the cost will be too high.

Speaking of these bangs, you have to admire them. In 2020, most places in the countryside have cement roads to the door.

Most rural areas across the country have cement roads.

This type of investment and approach is unique in the world.

Of course, there are bound to be problems of one kind or another during this process, but as long as the cement road reaches the door, this is a good thing.

This is unimaginable now because the investment is too large.

Liu Hai took a quick look and put the account book away. Liu Hai believed in the old factory director.

After all, he is several decades old and spends most of every year running around outside.

In fact, Sun Aiguo is very satisfied in his heart.

Send those comrades who have not gone home home!

Give motorcycles to the families of some comrades, so that their families have a source of income!

Sun Aiguo felt that he should do these things.

Even the parents of some of his comrades are still there, so although he is sometimes physically tired, as long as he accomplishes one thing, Sun Aiguo is spiritually satisfied.

Most of the other old comrades-in-arms with Sun Aiguo also have this mentality.

The rocket recyclable technology of some Eastern countries has a great influence on the world.

The first is the launch of commercial satellites. Bald eagles and fat geese have been greatly affected.

Not to mention existing orders, many companies later canceled orders from these two countries.

In mid-January 1996, a company on Hong Kong Island signed a contract to launch communication satellites with relevant departments of certain Eastern countries.

This communication satellite is mainly a television, and this company is Xiaoyun's company.

Xiaoyun owns a TV station on Hong Kong Island.

Because commercial satellite operating companies around the world are waiting and watching, mainly because of the technology in some Eastern countries, people can't believe it.

The satellite is expected to be launched in April.

The launch will be broadcast live around the world.

That is to say, the recyclable launch of the rocket will be broadcast live around the world.

This is the first time in history and the first time on the entire planet.

Liu Hai was not surprised at all by this news, because Xiaoyun had asked himself.

Before the Chinese New Year, Liu Hai went to the home of his master Yang Hehua and the old factory director.

Then he went back to his hometown.

Originally, Liu Hai and his family wanted to travel to the island opposite during the Chinese New Year, but the relevant parties said that the island was not so safe for the time being.

After all, the island has only been back for a few years.

So Liu Hai and his party only went to the southwest to Fanjing Mountain, Huangguoshu Waterfall, and Maotai Distillery, and then experienced the Miao village style.

After a round of wandering, they returned to Kyoto on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year.

And now traveling is also very tiring because there are too many people.

Now our country's economic development is very good, and the economic structure is also very good. These people in the city usually have no time to go out and play. During the Chinese New Year, they have a few days off, and everyone wants to go out and play.

And now there are holidays for May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and National Day, and they are all 7 days off. In addition, each enterprise also organizes workers to go out for travel in batches.

In late February 1996, a foreign media published a photo.

That is, the aircraft carrier purchased by some Eastern countries from Niu Niu is suspected to be outfitting.

When this news came out, everyone was shocked.

Whether it is the bald eagle, Niu Niu, Gallic rooster, San Dangjia, Fat Goose, or Xiaobenzi.

San Dangjia even publicly stated that this is impossible. Some countries in the East have no experience in building aircraft carriers. It has only been a few months since they got the aircraft carrier last year, and they dare to install it themselves?

San Dangjia also vowed that some countries in the East are pretending to do so because some countries in the East have no face!

Even the relevant experts of Niu Niu, who sold the aircraft carrier, said: Some countries in the East are not able to equip aircraft carriers within at least three years.

Aircraft carriers are very comprehensive things. We can dismantle them quickly, but it is difficult for them to install them because they have no relevant experience.

Relevant experts of Gallic rooster also said: Even if we want to transform and upgrade an aircraft carrier, it will take at least two years, and this is when we have mature experience, complete design drawings, and complete upgrade routes.

Fat Goose also said: Manufacturing an aircraft carrier is definitely not that simple, because it requires a lot of supply chains, and the relevant equipment required on the aircraft carrier is definitely not something that can be manufactured in a short time. Relevant experts of Fat Goose also predicted that some countries in the East may be conducting certain tests.

Xiaobenzi expressed strong concern about this matter!

Even the relevant experts of the Bald Eagle said on TV: This is a cunning conspiracy of some Eastern countries. They tried to use this method to show that they have mastered the manufacturing of related systems of aircraft carriers.

It also said that although some Eastern countries have purchased second-hand aircraft carriers, that aircraft carrier is completely different from the current aircraft carriers.

Of course, the relevant experts of these aircraft carriers do not know the existence of the No. 001 teaching building. How many years has this teaching building existed?

The relevant systems in it have long been thoroughly mastered by the relevant departments.

The reason why it is only now being equipped is mainly to measure the relevant space of the purchased Niuniu aircraft carrier.

Then customize the relevant parts and components, and continue to dismantle some things that should be dismantled.

Because the relevant systems and related parts of our own aircraft carriers are likely to be incompatible with the original aircraft carriers, it is easier to play them after dismantling.

Although experts from various countries said so, everyone still stared at the aircraft carriers of some Eastern countries with wide eyes.

As a result, news came one after another that some Eastern countries were indeed outfitting aircraft carriers.

Aircraft carriers are too big, and there is no way to hide them during outfitting.

Whether you watch from the sky or from a distance, there are people working on it.

And as time goes by, people find that the missing things on this aircraft carrier are being restored bit by bit, such as the radar on the aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier also uses active phased array radar.

Of course, this set of active phased array radar is designed according to the space size reserved on the original aircraft carrier.

The phased array radar is mainly its components, and its antenna size is designed according to the original space size.

At the end of March 1996, the number of players of the World of Warcraft Continent PC game exceeded 2 million.

And the game coins of the World of Warcraft Continent reached a high price of one pound.

The high price of game coins pushed up the stock price of another company, which is a website specializing in game accounts, game equipment and game coins trading.

You can buy game coins for all games on it, and you can also buy equipment accounts for all games.

In addition, Fenghuo Technology Company announced that the new generation of digital communication technology has achieved initial success and is applying for international patents.

This is what people often call 3G communication technology. Of course, although this communication technology has been successfully developed, it will take some time to apply it. After all, the previous generation of communication technology can still be used by a large number of mobile phones that still use analog signals.

In fact, what hinders the development of science and technology is cost. 3G communication technology has very high requirements for hardware, whether it is terminal hardware, that is, mobile phones, or base station hardware.

April 1, 1996!

Some countries in the East decided to broadcast the launch of commercial satellites live today.

That is, the first commercial operation of rocket reusable technology.

The reason why the global live broadcast was adopted this time was because it was still at the Jiuquan Launch Center.

Because the launch base established in Hainan has not been completed.

Today is April Fool's Day in the West, and many people in the West dare not confirm this news.

At 2 pm on April 1, 1996, the global live broadcast began, and this time it was broadcast on TV.

2pm in some eastern countries is 2am over there with the bald eagle.

In Paris, it's 8 a.m. and in London, it's 7 a.m.

"Good afternoon, dear viewers!" Liu Hai was talking about our own words, so it was in Mandarin.

And the defenders watching everywhere else are English.

Countless experts, professors and politicians sit in front of the TV.

It's 2 a.m. over there at Bald Eagle, so everyone has a cup of coffee.

Everyone here in London holds a cup of black tea, because scientific research has found that drinking tea is healthier than drinking coffee, and tea contains many ingredients.

"What everyone is seeing is the world's first recyclable rocket for commercial launch!"

"The satellite launched this time weighs 1,865 kilograms. It is a communication satellite, mainly for television services."

"Everyone can now see that the preparations have come to an end, and we have switched to the voice of the on-site conductor."

You can see on the TV that there is a rocket standing on the launch pad.

This rocket has no booster, it is a single rocket.

The weather at the Jiuquan Launch Satellite Center is sunny today.

Although watching TV is very peaceful on the surface.

However, relevant departments have already made preparations.

A few hundred kilometers east from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, fighter jets and air defense facilities are all ready.

After the rocket is launched, the distance between the rocket and the launch site becomes farther and farther due to the rotation of the earth.

When the rocket returns, it is likely to be hundreds of kilometers away from the launch site.

There is fuel in the return rocket, so if an accident occurs, it must be smashed with anti-aircraft missiles.

Although the returning rocket also has a self-destruction device.

This is necessary. Once the rocket loses control, it must explode and burn in the air.

In fact, rockets have self-destruction devices, which is why we see rockets lose control and most of them explode in the end, because after the explosion at high altitude, the loss when falling to the ground is minimal.

If there is no self-destruction device, what impact will hundreds of tons of fuel hit on the ground have?

Although there is a self-destruction device, it may not work, because as long as something goes wrong, who knows whether the self-destruction device will go wrong.

"15-minute countdown!" The picture was of the guideline launch tower, but the voice was from the command room.

Liu Hai was also watching TV, and he was also very nervous. Rocket recyclable technology, this level of difficulty can be said to be hellish.

There are also some related introductions by the host on the TV screen, mainly about the advantages of recyclable technology.

Most people in other countries around the world now believe that this technology in some Eastern countries has been successful.

Because according to the practices of some Eastern countries, if there is no success, they will never dare to promote it like this.

Now many people have a doubt in their minds, how did they do it!

"Light the fire!" After 15 minutes, which was still a bit torturous for Liu Hai, he finally heard the order to light the fire.

You can see the rocket spitting out red flames, and then white mist rising around it.

That's because a large amount of water is being sprayed under the rocket's nozzle.

These are water vapor.

The rocket left the launch pad slowly at first.

At this time, relevant departments discovered a huge radar signal.

Apparently some countries have started intercontinental missile monitoring procedures.

In another sense, the radar that monitors intercontinental missiles can also monitor the trajectory of this rocket.

Because the launch mission of this rocket has been announced, other countries can easily calculate the trajectory of the rocket through the launch mission.

The rocket rose higher and higher, higher and higher, and faster and faster.

The speed of the first stage of the rocket will eventually reach the first cosmic speed, which is 7.8 kilometers per second.

In addition, the first stage of the rocket also needs to send the second stage near the Karman Line, which is usually about 80 kilometers. Although the Karman Line is 100 kilometers, the first stage is only about 80 kilometers away.

This location is also out of the atmosphere.

Because the first stage is separated from the second stage, the speed inertia of the first stage still exists.

"The first and second stages were successfully separated."

"Second stage ignition successful!"

"The first level return attitude is normal."

At the same time, the intercontinental missile observation radars of some northern countries also observed that the first stage was returning.

Because the speed and trajectory of this first stage are definitely not the posture of naturally falling off and falling into the atmosphere.

"Oh my God!!" Experts from some northern countries who observed this data also gasped.

The vertical point of the first stage of this rocket is now several hundred kilometers away from the point of launch.

During the return process, the first stage of the rocket must not only ensure its speed, but also its direction.

In other words, the rocket cannot return too fast when it returns. If it is too fast, it will burn due to friction with the air.

At this time, it is completely dependent on the control ability of the rocket itself.

Not only some countries in the north captured the flight attitude and trajectory of the first stage, but other capable countries also observed it. Because the height of the rocket is high enough, anyone around the world who can conduct intercontinental missile warning can observe it. .

Of course, after this drops to a certain height, they cannot observe it.

However, the current trajectory and speed have already explained everything. At least other people's research in this area is leading the world.

"The first level is 50 kilometers away from the return point!"

"The first level is 45 kilometers from the return point!"

"30 kilometers from return point."

“25 kilometers from the return point!”

"20 kilometers from return point."

And at this moment, the TV screen changed into three pieces.

Two of the pictures are of the rocket itself, one looking upwards and the other looking downwards where you can see the flames spurting out from underneath the rocket.

Another picture is on a fighter jet. On the fighter jet, you can see a rocket descending rapidly in the distance. Of course, the engine is also in ignition state.

The fighter jet was about 2 kilometers away from the rapidly descending rocket.

This rocket is so conspicuous against the background of the blue sky, not to mention it is on fire.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and the returning rocket could be seen from the fighter jet.

“15 kilometers from the return point!”

“10 kilometers from the return point!”

"Five kilometers from the return point!"

At this time, the TV screen changed again, because traces of the return rocket could already be seen on the ground.

The rocket also hovered for another 6 seconds at an altitude of more than 200 meters.

Then the return rocket slowly landed at the predetermined location.

"Okay!!" Even with bangs, I couldn't help but cheer when I saw this scene during the live broadcast.

Experts and professors abroad who saw this scene fell silent.

In fact, the last 200 meters of the entire rocket return are the most critical.

If the thrust calculation for these 200 meters is incorrect, it will cause the entire rocket to fail to return.

The most dangerous thing is actually the last 10 meters. If the thrust is slightly greater, it will not land. If the thrust is too small, the whole rocket will be scrapped and may even explode if you squat down.

Not only must the thrust be adjusted, but the direction of the thrust must also be adjusted to ensure the stability of the rocket.

There is a universal joint between the rocket engine and the rocket, and the stability of the rocket is controlled by the rocking of the rocket engine.

And this launch can not only be seen live on TV, but also the scene when the rocket launches and the scene when the rocket returns can be seen in many places in the north.

Because it is cloudless in the spring in the north, and the rockets are so conspicuous in the blue sky.

"Thank you all for watching this live broadcast. The launch mission was successfully completed!" As for other subsequent work, it will definitely not be broadcast live. With the host's voice, the live broadcast ends.

April Fool's Day in 1996 is destined to be recorded in history.

April Fool's Day in 1996 also made people all over the world soberly aware of certain countries in the East. What level of development has it reached.

Of course, what follows is a massive number of commercial satellite launch orders from some Eastern countries.

In fact, as long as the rocket recovery is successful once, the more times it is run in the future, the more accurate its data model will be. I cannot say that it is guaranteed to be successful every time. This is impossible.

"Awesome!" Seeing that the launch mission was successfully completed, the junior sister also breathed a sigh of relief.
