Return to the red age

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

"I can't solve the problem that even a country as developed as the Bald Eagle has not solved in history." Faced with this choice, Liu Hai now doesn't know what to do.

1997 went smoothly, everything was going in a good direction, and these Southeast Asian countries were no longer looted by Soros.

However, Liu Hai felt that there was no way to avoid it, because the financial capital structure of these countries destined them to have problems sooner or later.

They will be harvested by people in waves.

This is also a problem that such countries have to face. If they use foreign capital, they will be harvested by others, but if they don't use foreign capital, they can't develop.

If they can't develop, they will fall further and further behind.

So many times, they can only weigh the pros and cons. They know there are risks, but they still have to do it.

During the Chinese New Year in 1998, Liu Hai's family did not go out for travel, because it was too strenuous to go out for travel during the Chinese New Year.

There were people everywhere, so the family studied the quintessence of Chinese culture and played mahjong at home.

And Liu Hai started playing World of Warcraft.

The player data of World of Warcraft players is a bit weird.

In some eastern countries, more players of World of Warcraft choose the Alliance.

In European countries, more players choose the Horde.

All this is because of one reason, that is, the king of Stormwind was replaced by the queen.

Most of the players in a large number of European countries chose the Horde, and the slogan was to break the Kingdom of Stormwind and kill the queen.

World of Warcraft is divided into domestic and international servers, and Liu Hai plays the domestic server.

He chose the human race and the profession he chose was hunter.

During the Chinese New Year, the game map was full of players doing tasks.

Liu Hai just had the mentality of playing for fun, and there were already professional players in World of Warcraft.

These professional players formed studios and unions.

The favorite thing to play in World of Warcraft is to fight bosses. Many guilds focus on fighting bosses on Saturdays and Sundays.

Playing World of Warcraft requires certain skills, especially when the equipment is not enough.

Occasionally, I also play CS. CS has been greatly optimized, the map is no longer so rough, and the character model is still a little rough.

Although Liu Hai plays games at home, the progress of the projects on hand is constantly advancing.

The stealth fighter is still undergoing ground tests, because there are many systems involved, and it is a new generation of avionics system, which is one generation higher than the avionics system of the Black Shark fighter.

The development of the new generation of aerospace system is completed, and the Black Shark fighter can be upgraded.

The construction of the aircraft carrier has not stopped, and you can often see the photos sent by the Bald Eagle.

In March 1998, the Hainan Commercial Satellite Launch Base was successfully built and put into use.

And it is expected that the first launch will be on April 5, 1998, and the surrounding area will be able to watch it at that time.

And the rocket will return to the sea return platform.

Because it is safer to land on the sea return platform.

Of course, there are also places where you can watch it at a closer distance, and you have to pay for tickets.

And the homestays, inns, and hotels around the rocket launch site have been booked out.

Liu Hai and his family decided to go and see it at that time, and booked a room in a hotel where they could see the rocket launch.

Of course, if you have money, you can also charter a yacht to go out to sea.

Some countries in the East carried out 6 commercial satellite launches last year, all using rocket recovery technology.

This is enough to prove that some countries in the East are far ahead in this direction.

At this time, stealth fighters in some Eastern countries have already started flight tests.

There are also clearer photos on the Internet, because the height of the flight test can be photographed with a camera.

Many netizens feel that the canards on the aircraft of some Eastern countries are a very backward design.

Because the fighter of the bald eagle does not have canards.

In fact, each design has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of canards is to improve the lift coefficient, stability, and maneuverability.

And canards are also divided into movable canards and immovable canards.

When the F22 was designed, its flight control technology could not reach the control technology of movable canards.

After all, the f22 was designed in the 1980s, and the flight control of the aircraft's onboard computer at that time could not reach the abnormal level of today.

Of course, canards also have disadvantages. Any design has advantages and disadvantages. It can only be said that it depends on the trade-off.

However, these pictures are just a yellow plane. You can only see the appearance, and more details cannot be seen.

Some Eastern countries now have enough confidence, just let you watch, you can't learn it even if you watch it.

Stealth fighters, not to mention in the 1990s, even in 2020, people still can't learn it after watching so much.

If you don't know the technical things, you don't know them. The material technology has not reached this level, so you can just watch it.

As the first reusable rocket launch event in the world.

Hainan has attracted tourists from all over the world. Hotels, homestays, and even all places where you can see the launch site are crowded.

Not only are there people from China, but more people from abroad.

It is full of languages ​​from all over the world.

Liu Hai and his family came on April 4th. The balcony of the hotel room can clearly see the launch site in the distance.

Liu Hai looked down with sunglasses on, and there were people watching on all the balconies.

Although tomorrow is the official launch day, the assembly workshop has already started assembling the rocket.

The rocket launch is scheduled for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the rocket will return after launching.

The offshore landing platform can also be seen not very far away.

The offshore landing platform is relatively safe, and even if an accident occurs, it will not have much impact on the surrounding area.

The superior department is very concerned about this public launch, and the relevant departments have already made strict arrangements.

Liu Hai believes that there are many experts in related fields who come to watch the launch mission.

Of course, there is also a place to watch the launch, which is closer.

Of course, the closer distance does not mean very close, but within a safe range.

In addition, there is another advantage of launching in Hainan, that is, heavy rockets can be launched.

In addition, if something happens, the debris of the rocket wreckage will not cause harm to anyone on the ground, but will fall into the sea.

As mentioned earlier, after the rocket is launched, due to the rotation of the earth, the rocket will deviate from the original launch site and move eastward.

This is why we found that the rocket was flying diagonally upward when we watched many videos.

This is due to the influence of the earth's rotation.

Liu Hai's family came to see what they wanted to see. Liu Hai knew what his junior sister meant and wanted to see the launch and recovery of the recyclable rocket with his own eyes. After all, this was hosted by his senior brother.

The temperature in Hainan in April was still suitable. Of course, everyone was mainly watching the rocket launch, so even though the rocket was still in the assembly factory, everyone was standing on the balcony and watching with interest.

In the early morning, the rocket began to move from the assembly factory to the rocket launch platform.

The scene attracted many people to take photos and record videos. Sometimes in Western countries, even if they saw it with their own eyes, they would say they didn't believe it.

Liu Hai wanted to watch it up close in person, but unfortunately it was not allowed.

There were also many people watching with telescopes from time to time.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on April 5, 1998, the rocket at the rocket launch site in the South China Sea of ​​some Eastern countries was successfully ignited.

A large amount of white smoke came out from under the rocket, and then it slowly rose into the air, faster and faster.

Until it finally disappeared from everyone's sight, but everyone could go back to watch TV because it was also introduced on TV.

This time, the rocket began to separate the first and second stages at about 80 kilometers.

Both the first and second stages were successfully ignited. Now everyone is most concerned about whether the return rocket can successfully land on the offshore platform.

Everyone looked up at the sky and waited quietly, because when the rocket returns, it is already a long distance away from the original launch site due to the rotation of the earth.

"It's coming!" I don't know who shouted it's coming.

Everyone looked to the east. There was a bright light under the sunlight. This light was getting closer and closer. This was a white rocket, and the engine below was still spewing fire.

Now it looks weird, as if it is a reverse video.

The rocket hovered for more than three seconds when it was about 200 meters above the offshore platform, and then landed on the offshore platform in an extremely smooth way.

"This time it feels smoother than watching TV." The junior sister saw that the hovering time was relatively short this time, and asked.

"The hovering time mainly depends on the remaining fuel in the rocket, because the fuel consumption of the rocket during operation is different from the plan."

"The fuel plan has surplus."

"If there is too much remaining fuel, it will cause an accident if something unexpected happens."

The junior sister nodded, and many foreigners below applauded, and some shouted loudly: o! o!

Liu Hai and the junior sister also applauded, and the audience who watched closely stood up and applauded.

Although this technology belongs to certain Eastern countries, it is a milestone in the development of human civilization and the human race's march into space.

The whole world is appreciative of this live launch, because there is really nothing wrong with it.

Of course, it is a heavy blow to commercial launches in other countries around the world.

Other countries are also facing a problem. Either they invest in this technology and compete with certain Eastern countries, but this faces another problem, that is, the first-mover advantage.

It is not certain that some Eastern countries will launch more mature technologies at that time if they invest a large sum of money.

But if they do not invest, then the entire market will gradually be controlled by certain Eastern countries.

Therefore, each country is in a difficult situation in this regard. Apart from the rocket launch missions at the national level, it is too difficult to grab back the orders for commercial purposes.

The offshore rocket recovery platform was directly towed back to the factory.

And there will be at least 15 commercial launch activities in Hainan this year, which has brought huge tourism income to Hainan.

Liu Hai and others returned to their respective positions, and the stealth fighter began flight testing. This is also a slow and steady process, testing bit by bit.

Especially under the condition of ensuring safety, as many tests as possible should not have various problems like the f35 in the future.

Hainan in some Eastern countries has become a very famous tourist destination, because here you can see the rocket recyclable launch, which is unique in the world.

In June 1998, some Eastern countries announced a manned space flight test.

In August 1998, Bald Eagle released a bird's-eye view photo of an aircraft carrier in some Eastern countries.

Everyone was surprised to find that the island of the aircraft carrier in some Eastern countries is much smaller than the current island.

Because now some countries in the East have removed many things from their aircraft carriers, so you can see the general appearance of the aircraft carrier.

And this aircraft carrier is not a ski-jump deck, but a straight-through deck.

What does a small island mean for an aircraft carrier? It is very likely to be nuclear-powered, because conventional-powered aircraft carriers have chimneys.

Of course, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers also have chimneys, because nuclear-powered aircraft carriers also have conventional diesel generators.

But the chimneys of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are much smaller. Because nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have small chimneys, their islands are relatively small.

Along with the dismantling of various shipbuilding equipment bit by bit at the Dali An airport.

The catapult on the straight-through deck is actually covered with a cover.

People all over the world are curious about where some countries in the East get their catapult technology?

Steam catapult technology, but no country will sell it.

And the steam catapults of these countries have long been out of production in the production factories.

Soon in late September 1998, some countries in the East announced the launch of the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier No. 17.

Sure enough, on October 1, the news reported this situation. As the water in the dock became more and more, the aircraft carrier was towed out of the dock and docked at the port of the shipyard.

Faced with such a speed of some Eastern countries, the whole world was stunned.

Especially the third boss covered Fat Goose with more than one billion pounds, while the progress of its own aircraft carrier transformation was 0.

The third boss cursed Fat Goose internationally, saying that Fat Goose was deceiving itself. The aircraft carriers made by some Eastern countries were launched in less than two years, and I paid more than one billion pounds. Now it has been more than a year, and there is no progress.

Fat Goose certainly does not allow the third boss to ruin its reputation and immediately stated: Our engineers are stolen more than 600 times a year on average, and toothpaste, toothbrushes, slippers, clothes, and even tools are stolen.

Moreover, three major accidents occurred in the shipyard, and they were all fires, all because the shipyard workers did not abide by the safety and fire discipline.

In addition, the workers in the shipyard are of low quality and lazy, and said that the money you paid is definitely not enough to transform the aircraft carrier.

The third boss denied the above accusations, saying that it was the fat goose that did not provide the key equipment for the aircraft carrier transformation.

Bald Eagle felt numb. He could accept that some countries in the East built aircraft carriers, but they started with steam catapults. Do you want to live?

Where did you get the technology to build such a big thing?

Isn't technology always replaced from generation to generation? The second aircraft carrier should have conventional power and a ski-jump deck.

The third aircraft carrier has conventional power and steam catapults.

The fourth aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with steam catapults.

The only thing we know now is that the displacement of this aircraft carrier is more than 80,000 tons.

However, according to the photos taken by Bald Eagle's big eyes, relevant experts calculated that the displacement is at least more than 90,000 tons.

Because there are many references in the photos, you can roughly see how big the aircraft carrier is.

Therefore, the No. 17 aircraft carrier in some countries in the East has attracted the hearts of military experts from all over the world.

Of course, these old generals in China are also very much looking forward to it.

Liu Hai saw that his retirement time was coming, but he couldn't retire yet.

The main reason is that the flight test of the stealth fighter has not been completed yet, and it is now undergoing flight tests in a plateau environment.

However, the stealth fighter will soon be ready, in just two or three months.

Liu Hai began to gradually do the handover work, putting down the burden on his shoulders one by one, submitting relevant work permits, access permits, and relevant materials, which are also very tedious things.

Finally, on January 1, 1999, the stealth fighter of some eastern countries was officially finalized for mass production.

And Liu Hai just unloaded all the burdens on his shoulders and retired!

Speaking of retirement, he is still working, mainly at Fenghuo Technology Company and Heshun Airlines.

On April 1, 1999, some eastern countries announced the launch of the power module of the space station, officially starting to build the world's second space station.

And this space station also has two partners, Gallic Chicken and Niu Niu, and returned to Russia to express that his space station also wants to join the space station of some eastern countries after retirement.

Some eastern countries expressed their welcome to all countries to cooperate.

Bald Eagle also announced that it would build its own space station.

On August 1, 1999, some countries in the East simultaneously announced that the stealth fighter J-20 was in service!

At the same time, it was announced that the No. 17 aircraft carrier was undergoing sea trials!

On October 1, 1999, some countries in the East launched a 10,000-ton missile destroyer.

The world has long been prepared for what some countries in the East announced, and it was greeted with congratulations.

When you have an aircraft carrier, people around you will question you. When you have a second aircraft carrier, the voices of people around you will be much quieter.

When you have a third aircraft carrier, the other party will start to look at you silently.

When you have more aircraft carriers, you will receive applause.

When you have the world's most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the world's most advanced stealth fighter, you will receive applause!

Because anyone who doesn't applaud will be remembered!

In March 2000, some countries in the East sent two astronauts into the space station of some countries in the East.

After working for seven days, they returned smoothly. This is the third country in the world to master manned spacecraft.

On April 20, 2000, Liu Hai saw the first flow of water from the Red Flag Canal in Northwest China. At that time, the Red Flag Canal was already profitable.

In June 2000, some Eastern countries sent three more astronauts to the space station, two of whom were from Europe and one from some Eastern countries.

And they returned successfully after 15 days in orbit and completed many scientific experiments.

On October 1, 2000, some Eastern countries announced that the No. 17 nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was officially put into service, and the third nuclear-powered electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier was built at the same time.

On December 26, 2000, Liu Hai personally cooked a table of dishes to celebrate the birthday of the old leader, and there were several other leaders, including Sun Aiguo.

"If I had known that Xiao Liu's cooking was so delicious, I should have asked him to cook for me when he sent peppers!" The old leader looked at Liu Hai, who was wearing an apron, and served the dishes to the table, and laughed and said jokingly.

"Xiao Liu is an expert in everything!"

"Xiao Liu is like what some novels say: Mastering one method is the best way to master everything."

"Haha!!"

At this time, the TV station was broadcasting an international news: "The state of Texas, the Bald Eagle, officially held a public vote to demand separation, and California will also hold a public vote next month!"

(The whole book is over)
