Return to the red age

"Yeah!" Liu Hai nodded. Being able to broadcast live around the world is enough to illustrate the importance of this technology.

On April Fool's Day, some countries in the East opened the eyes of people all over the world.

Even a layman knows how much impetus this technology can bring to space activities.

Space activities are very expensive, whether it is rocket research or satellite research, or the construction of space stations and future outer space bases.

The first thing to do is to send people and equipment to space.

As for returning, that is a follow-up matter.

In 2020, even if a developed country like Xiaobenzi wants to succeed in rocket launches, it will be extremely difficult.

Because behind the rocket is actually the overall scientific level of the entire country.

Xiaobenzi is indeed a developed country, and some of its technologies are quite awesome, but it has one biggest shortcoming, that is, the population is too small.

And rockets are the crystallization of all-round technology, from materials to control, manufacturing, and then to the launch and operation of rockets.

How many related practitioners are needed.

In fact, in the previous life, Fat Goose ate the dividends of Fat Bear, and ate the dividends for decades.

Whether it is various weapons and equipment, or various other technologies.

Although there are many mathematical geniuses on the Fei Goose side, pure mathematical geniuses are useless.

Any genius must have a platform suitable for him.

Later, the media related to Fei Goose published a report. After analysis by experts related to Fei Goose, the rocket return of some Eastern countries this time was real and effective.

These experts mainly compared the data obtained by Fei Goose's radar with the live broadcast data of some Eastern countries.

In addition, it is necessary to analyze the live broadcast video to see if there is any fraud.

Then the relevant experts of Bald Eagle also said that some Eastern countries have achieved unprecedented success in this technology.

And related industries abroad have been impacted by this live broadcast of some Eastern countries.

It can be imagined that this technology requires time to accumulate and requires massive investment.

Bald Eagle urgently held a closed-door meeting to prepare to increase investment in the space field.

Because some Eastern countries are at the forefront of the world, this is definitely not a good thing for Bald Eagle.

A simple example is the cost of Bald Eagle launching a satellite, some Eastern countries can launch two or even three satellites.

That is to say, in the field of space, Bald Eagle has no advantage in cost and cost performance.

But the economic situation in Bald Eagle is not very good now.

Even so, Bald Eagle quickly passed a budget of 300 billion US dollars in just half a month.

This budget means that within 10 years, first of all, a space station will be built, which belongs to Bald Eagle.

In addition, it is to develop rocket recycling technology, and strive to make this technology mature and surpass some Eastern countries within 5 to 8 years.

Politicians in Bald Eagle are like this. They don’t care about the economy at all. During their tenure as leaders, they borrow all the money they can.

This is why the fiscal deficit in Bald Eagle has become more and more serious.

On the one hand, every term of politicians in Bald Eagle is crazy about borrowing money.

In addition, to put it bluntly, in the history of Bald Eagle, because the US dollar is an international currency, debt doesn’t matter to them at all.

I won’t pay it back!

If it’s still not, then I will print money crazily. As long as you are not afraid of the depreciation of the US dollar in your hands, we can print it at will.

As the largest currency for international trade settlement, the so-called debt is not a problem at all.

In just half a month, some countries in the East signed dozens of satellite launch contracts with foreign countries. Some countries even commissioned some countries in the East to develop communication satellites, and the subsequent satellites will be entrusted to some countries in the East.

After the satellite is launched into space, it needs to be controlled and maintained, and many small countries do not have relevant talents at all.

In May 1996, the finance ministers of more than 20 countries in the European Union signed relevant agreements to officially launch the euro.

The euro will be officially issued on June 1, 1996.

The birth of the euro is actually aimed at international currency. In history, not long after the euro was born, a conflict broke out in Europe, causing the euro to depreciate by 30%.

In history, as long as Europe develops a little better, there will be various conflicts, which will directly affect the European economy.

Otherwise, there will be various economic crises.

In fact, in his previous life, the bald eagle knew that his biggest enemy was not some countries in the East, but Europe in the same trench with him.

If the bald eagle wants to fight with some countries in the East, then Europe will inevitably grow up, and there is also a small notebook!

The little book often jumps back and forth, in fact, it is to provoke the relationship between the bald eagle and some eastern countries. As long as the bald eagle and some eastern countries are at odds, then the little book will find an opportunity to get out of the control of the bald eagle.

This makes the bald eagle very angry. Last month, some eastern countries showed him what technology is!

Now this group of Europeans are using this trick on him again, obviously aiming at the internationalization of their own currencies.

The international trade pie is so big every year, and now the strong introduction of the euro is bound to cut off the bald eagle's shrinking market share.

The Bald Eagle expressed strong concern about this matter.

Then the Bald Eagle can't do anything else now, as it is already engaged in an economic and trade war with Europe.

Then the Federal Reserve announced that it would raise interest rates in June!

This move is used to deal with the euro, and the Bald Eagle also intervenes in some internal affairs of Europe.

Some politicians of the Bald Eagle made some inflammatory remarks to support some ethnic groups in Europe, encouraging them to seek independence and freedom.

And various European countries made remarks criticizing the remarks of the Bald Eagle politicians.

The two sides went back and forth, from the media to the Internet.

Not to mention, the Bald Eagle really incited a lot of people.

There are 87 ethnic groups in Europe, and each ethnic group wants to be independent and want to establish its own country. Among them, only 33 are at least the main population of a sovereign country, and most of the others cannot establish their own country.

In Europe, whether it is a big country or a small country, only a very small number of countries do not want to go out and live alone, whether it is the larger countries such as Niu Niu, Gaul Chicken, Sandezi, and Italy, or some small countries, there are also people who constantly want to go out and live alone.

This war of public opinion between Europe and the bald eagle.

Successfully made some Eastern countries place more than 600 orders for ultra-high pressure fire trucks!

These European countries import this kind of high-pressure fire truck mainly to put out fires and eliminate some internal unstable factors.

So much so that it overshadowed the live broadcast of some Eastern countries in April.

For Western countries, their own affairs are the affairs, and no matter how big the affairs of other countries are, they are not the affairs.

In late May 1996, the White Swan Upgrade Technical Team led by Liu Hai was conducting a critical test.

This test was to customize various equipment suitable for the White Swan.

For example, various control units that control the flight posture of the White Swan.

Because the shape of the aircraft is different and the stress state of the wing is different, the power required by the control unit is also different.

In addition, there are various control systems inside the aircraft. Because of the size of the aircraft's interior, the relevant parts are also specially customized.

The onboard computer, display screen, various communication equipment, and various radars must be manufactured to fit the interior space of the White Swan. Even the supporting power system and various sensors are manufactured according to the design parameters of the White Swan.

To put it bluntly, all these equipment on the White Swan are customized.

Just like different cars have different parts.

It's just that cars are mass-produced, so its parts are also mass-produced, and these parts of the White Swan need to be customized individually.

After this test is completed, all the equipment will be installed on the White Swan and then debugged.

During the debugging process, if it is found that the relevant parts are not suitable, they will be redesigned.

After the debugging is completed, ground tests will be carried out.

After the ground test, there will be flight tests.

"Let's get started!" As the main person in charge of the project and the chief engineer, Liu Hai actually did not do much personally, because the control model and principle of the entire core are the same as those of fighter jets.

The core is the same, as long as you master this core, you can easily expand and apply it.

Everyone in the laboratory stared at the computer screen.

The entire system equipment is now connected by various wires, and there is no shape at all.

The test computer continuously sends out control modes.

And each control unit also has related sensors.

After the onboard computer of the test sends the corresponding signal, the control unit receives the corresponding signal and then performs the corresponding operation.

The test simulates the White Swan taking off, then flying with afterburner, pulling up, circling, turning, and landing.

The first test was to conduct an attitude test.

The first attitude test went very smoothly.

The data was normal, and the control programs of each control unit were normal, including the operation of the control unit.

Of course, this kind of test is definitely not enough once, and it needs to be tested many times in succession.

The test lasted a whole day, a total of 16 times.

After all, it was not a real flight, just testing data.

"The simulation test was a perfect success, and I announced that the project will proceed to the next stage." Liu Hai saw that the test data of the 16 times were qualified, so he announced the next stage.

"Great!"

"That's it!"

"We upgraded the system for the White Swan, but we only visited the White Swan on the first day, and we couldn't see it the rest of the time." The researchers below applauded when they heard the news, and then talked about it.

"Next you can see enough!"

The next day, Liu Hai took the relevant personnel of the laboratory and began to install the relevant equipment on the White Swan.

The White Swan was dismantled.

The installation of the equipment is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, because all systems of the entire aircraft are electronically controlled, so many sensors are needed to read the data of various components of the aircraft.

Ensure that the pilot can grasp the attitude of the aircraft in real time.

The installation of equipment is not something that can be completed in a short time.

On June 1, 1996, the euro was officially born and the US dollar officially announced an interest rate hike.

The birth of the euro was several years earlier than in history.

In fact, it was mainly because Europe had many rounds of negotiations on the birth of the euro.

The euro is good for major European countries because these countries have strong economic strength.

But for some other countries, it is not a good thing because giving up their own currency and sharing the currency with other countries will have many disadvantages.

Some countries negotiate mainly for one purpose, which is to maintain the stability of the euro, and the EU must subsidize countries with weaker economies.

This world is so strange. The fat bear pulled together a group of little brothers to form an alliance.

And now Europe has also pulled together a group of brothers to form an alliance.

As our ancestors said, the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually separate after a long period of unity.

And in 1996, it was only a few years since the fat bear and his little brothers separated.

I just don’t know how many years this European alliance can last.

The euro has officially clashed with the US dollar, and the EU has also announced an interest rate hike for the euro, while selling the US dollar.

And the EU has officially discussed charging a certain percentage of handling fees for transit funds.

That is to say, any country or person who uses US dollars in Europe will be charged a handling fee in the future.

Of course, it is just announcing the discussion now, and some countries have proposed it.

The Bald Eagle expressed strong opposition to this European proposal. Some Bald Eagle politicians even shouted that if you dare to do this in Europe, we Bald Eagles will also charge you Euro funds transit fees.

Another politician in Europe announced that there will be a certain amount of free quota for the fees charged for transit funds.

To put it bluntly, it is not for the use of US dollars for consumption and tourism, but for other large investments.

The direct consequence of the US dollar vs. the euro is to make other developing countries worse.

Except for some countries in the East, all foreign capital from other countries has fled!

Because the euro has also raised interest rates, and the US dollar has also raised interest rates, all these funds have returned to the Bald Eagle or Europe.

This is the fight between the boss and the second, and maybe the third will suffer.

The two sides are going back and forth, and Liu Hai is watching the excitement while doing his own work.

Liu Hai's main job now is to design stealth fighters.

His secondary job is to lead the White Swan Upgrade Technical Team to upgrade the White Swan.

On July 1, 1996, the White Swan, whose interior has been transformed beyond recognition, began ground experiments.

The interior of the White Swan is no longer the old instruments and buttons of the past. Instead, there are two large display screens showing various data.

Of course, there are still many switches and buttons inside. It is not suitable to use touch buttons or buttons that do not feel good on this kind of aircraft.

The switch buttons have clear directions, which is why you can see that there are many switches that can be toggled up and down on modern fighters, because you can see the status of this switch at a glance.

Even the switch of the button is red and green, and it lights up in the same color as the status.

After more than a month of equipment installation and debugging.

Ground testing is also very boring and tedious. A test may have to go through dozens or hundreds of times.

Only after the ground test is completely fine will a simple flight test be carried out.

On July 1, Liu Hai and others just carried out ground testing on the aircraft.

Unexpectedly, they were immediately stared at by some eyes in the sky.

The main reason is that the bald eagle is worried about the white swans bought by some countries in the East, so it specially put a few eyes to stare at the white swans of some countries to see where they are.

The Black Shark fighter jet produced by Dongfang Heavy Industry is well-known, so Dongfang Heavy Industry is the focus of these eyes.

The White Swan is so big that it cannot be hidden, and the ground test will also be taxiing and other tests.

The media related to the Bald Eagle gave a very scary title: Some countries in the East have completed the electronic transformation of the White Swan and are conducting ground tests.

The experts related to the Bald Eagle actually do not believe this news. The reason for saying this is to exaggerate the military strength of some countries in the East.

In addition, the media related to the Bald Eagle also made a map with several circles drawn on it, with the flight distance of the White Swan and the strike distance of the missiles carried by the White Swan.

These European countries and big cities are also specially marked, including the fat goose.

The media related to the Bald Eagle took the photos taken by the eyes in the sky and fabricated military threats from some countries in the East.

However, European politicians and military experts laughed and did not believe what the Bald Eagle media said at all.

The spokespersons of some countries in the East also said that we have not received relevant information.

Experts related to the Fat Goose directly stated that the Bald Eagle is too sensitive about this matter.

It is impossible for some countries in the East to complete the electronic transformation of the White Swan in a short time. This is simply impossible.

The experts of Fei Goose put themselves into the difficulty of upgrading the electronic transformation of the White Swan.

It must be difficult for Fei Goose, because he is very backward in the whole electronic informationization.

He didn't know that some countries in the East have established a preliminary and complete informationized combat system.

So although the Bald Eagle made a big fuss about this matter, other countries in the world seemed to be fine.

Even the little book next door to some countries in the East did not believe that some countries in the East could successfully upgrade the White Swan in such a short time.

So the little book was indifferent to this matter.

The small book is now affected by the interest rate hikes of the US dollar and the euro, and the domestic economy has further deteriorated.

As for other countries in the world, it is even worse.

The US dollar and the euro continue to raise interest rates, and then both sides continue to sell their currencies.

Then there is the bald eagle in Europe, you have one policy and I have another policy.

For example, Europe announced that it would charge management fees for transit US dollar funds, which directly caused many bald eagle consortiums in Europe to sell a large number of US dollars in exchange for euros.

Because Europe is now the most prosperous place for the Internet, these consortiums must get enough euros.

The bald eagle raised interest rates on the US dollar, mainly to prevent the international settlement of the euro.

Although this European policy has not yet been implemented, it has already caused many consortiums to start exchanging US dollars for euros in large quantities.

Interest is important, but how can it compare to the high returns of investing in the Internet.

No one noticed that a big guy in the Dalian Shipyard in some eastern countries was being completed step by step.

On July 25, 1996, some countries in the East issued a low-key notice that military training would be conducted in a certain area of ​​the Bohai Sea from August 1 to August 15, and no ships were allowed to enter during this period.

Liu Hai knew the news in advance, that is, on August 1, the aircraft carrier purchased from Niu Niu would conduct the first sea trial.

Now the things on the aircraft carrier are being finished.

This notice did not attract anyone's attention at all. Now the West's attention is all on the dispute between the US dollar and the euro.

On July 30, 1996, the West finally found something wrong, that is, the aircraft carrier purchased by some countries in the East was painted with new paint, and then painted with a new hull number: 16.

And many tugboats have gathered around this aircraft carrier.

And there are people on the aircraft carrier preparing some ribbons and the like.

These Western countries are a little bit unbelievable, even the relevant experts of the shipyard of the Niu Niu aircraft carrier said: This is impossible! Aircraft carrier transformation is not a child's play!

Some countries in the East cannot even think about completing the transformation without three to five years. Even if our shipyard wants to upgrade the aircraft carrier, it will take at least one and a half years.

Although the experts of the shipyard vowed, more photos were released, that is, there were people wearing vests of various colors on the aircraft carrier.

The radar on the aircraft carrier was covered by a green canvas, but judging from the shape, it should be an active phased array radar.

This made all the experts even more unconvinced.

However, the time node of August 1st made some Western countries have to believe that this matter might be true.

On July 31st, some countries in the East finally announced that the first aircraft carrier Liaoning will be sea-tested on August 1st!

This news shocked the whole world. You know, even the experts of the shipyard of the aircraft carrier said it was impossible. How can some countries in the East complete it?

The third boss exclaimed that it was impossible. The third boss said that some countries in the East were just conducting navigation tests, and this aircraft carrier could sail.

After the third boss bought the aircraft carrier, there were several accidents this year, and a MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft fell directly into the sea.

This MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft was on the elevator, and I don’t know how it fell into the sea.

It seems that the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft did not follow the procedure during the lifting process, which led to this incident.

And so far, the third boss has not taken off and landed a carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.

However, the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft has lost 6 aircraft, which is a loss of 20%, and has to order 20 aircraft from Fat Goose.

As for why it did not start the price on the aircraft carrier, it is said that the system of the carrier-based aircraft itself is not very compatible with the system on the aircraft carrier.

There are also pilots complaining that the controllability of the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft is not as good as the Rafale, because these pilots have experienced the Rafale carrier-based aircraft.

Liu Hai was not surprised to hear this news. How could the backward electronic system of the MiG-29 be compatible with the system on the Western aircraft carrier?

"Xiao Liu, are you really not going to the Dalian Shipyard tomorrow?" Sun Aiguo flew back directly from somewhere in the northwest to see the aircraft carrier.

"I'm going to Hainan tomorrow. I have too many things to do. I used to go there in July." Liu Hai shook his head.

"You have made a great contribution here!"

"I will wait until our own aircraft carrier is built before I go. I have finally put an end to the things I have at hand."

"That's fine!" Sun Aiguo knew that Liu Hai had to go to Hainan every year to accompany his old leader, so he didn't force Liu Hai.

"Oh, I really want to see the faces of those Westerners tomorrow!" Sun Aiguo laughed again.
