Chapter 239 Rockets Take Off

After visiting the entire base, Zhong Yang took these people back to the launch center. Today, he came here not only to see the engineering construction here, but the real purpose was to witness the historic moment of mankind.

Today is noon on December 24, 1927, with warm sunshine and cloudless. The wind on the sea is relatively calm, which is a good day for launching rockets. In the morning, the final review and preparation are conducted before launching, and it is also the time for visitors to travel.

After lunch, everyone was not allowed to rest. It was impossible to miss this opportunity to witness history. They had to rush to the aviation base located in Wenchang.

The launch center is now in the most tense preparation stage, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more serious. Each of the launch teams received an emergency food bag, which contained towels, mineral water, and biscuits.

In the on-site command center, five large-scale imaging screens switch lenses from time to time to monitor the situation of various parts of the launch tower in real time. The technicians are busy. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the "Tianmu Plan", all the staff present are doing their best and meticulously making final preparations.

On the No. 1 command post, there was a 35-year-old middle-aged man sitting. He was Chen Minkang, who was the first time in his life to take on the command task. His duty was to confirm the launch command before ignition and pass it to the transmitter console. Then, the control operator pressed the launch button.

What procedures are there before launch?

The low-temperature filling of the power system officially began eight hours before launch. Liquid nitrogen was first filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

The countdown is three hours before launch, the pre-firing status of each system is checked, the flight procedure is loaded, and the engine is pre-cooled. Before launch, the nuts of the rocket are fixed...

In the last two hours, the control system and the low-temperature power system were checked in time. After all these were completed, the staff from the launcher began to evacuate.

December 24 at 15:50

The countdown was 15 minutes, and the engineers and technicians who checked the rocket structure began to evacuate the tower. Before leaving, they needed to adjust the gas cylinder valve, low-temperature power, and core-class gas distribution table, and also confirmed whether there were any abnormalities in the parameters of more than 48 switches. The victory or defeat of the "Tianmu Plan" was in their hands.

A cave was dug next to the tower, which was the destination for these staff to evacuate. The tower working platform was more than 40 meters above the ground, and there were more than 200 meters from the tower to the cave. At this time, the elevator of the tower had been shut down. Those who evacuated could run down the 60-degree inclined iron ladder and rush into the cave.

"Sir, the 'Tianmu Plan' has been prepared, please give instructions now." At the launch center, the central control room is now full of busy figures. Liu Xubo, the chief engineer in charge of the entire plan, also looked calm and reported the preparations to Zhong Yang, indicating that the rocket could be launched.

This plan to start the journey of space will be the first feat in human history to participate in such a plan. Liu Xubo is of course full of excitement and excitement, but he knows that only by staying rational and calm can he better take on this job that has high requirements for meticulousness.

After taking the wireless microphone handed over by Liu Xubo, Zhong Yang was excited and filled with excitement and gratitude between his eyebrows: "Three years of preparation, we have finally achieved this feat. At this moment, we will be remembered by history. Please witness with me, the moment when mankind is free from the constraints of the earth."

At 16:25, Zhong Yang officially issued a launch order: ignite

The button was pressed, and the surging fireworks came out from the bottom. The rising torrent provided huge driving force for the entire rocket. The huge 316 tons was pushed into the sky. It was like a sharp sword breaking through the air and heading straight into the sky.

The fuel of the rocket's thruster uses advanced borosilane, a nitrogen oxide. Aviation kerosene is colorless and transparent, and it smells no different from ordinary kerosene, and it is not easy to evaporate. However, it is different from ordinary fuels. Its ignition point is about 300c. Not to mention using flint, even if it is used for open flame, it will not ignite.

With the help of smart factories, a group of aviation technicians worked day and night for three years, which made them today's technological achievements. I don't know how much effort it took to study the fuel needed for rocket launches. You must know that rocket engines and cars are completely different.

As a carrier rocket, the power source also relies on chemical energy, mainly using kerosene, alcohol, dimethylhydrazine, liquid hydrogen, etc. as combustion agents, and oxidants provided by nitric acid, liquid nitrogen, etc. are used to help combustion. Out of habit, aviation center workers all refer to combustion agents and oxidants as fuels or propellants of rocket engines.

At 17:10, the remote control hall announced exciting news: The Arrow 1 rocket launched the Tianmu 1 satellite successfully

This moment has been permanently frozen in the history of China's aerospace development. Moreover, this will be the first time for mankind to explore the distant sea of ​​stars.

With the continuous self-improvement, China has stood at a new starting point. It has been weakened for hundreds of years and has missed the glory of industrial production technology reform. Now is a good time to catch up.

"Everyone, the 'Tianmu' has been successfully launched. I want to thank you here. Today's achievements may have to be made public until you get old. But don't be discouraged. You are the heroes of our clan in order to stand on the top of the world. I hope you can encourage me to share the same efforts as you."

Looking at the excited crowd, Zhong Yang couldn't calm down. His previous work was just for survival and war, but this moment was different. It was to open up the road to the future and the hope of expeditioning the Star Sea and Galaxy.

There are still many things that have not been told to them in the plan, and even Chen Ze and Liu Haoran may not be clear about the details. But with their wisdom, they should have guessed a little bit of clues. Now it is a space flight with objects, so how far is it from a space flight with manned space flight?

Perhaps for others, this kind of thing has more symbolic significance than practical significance. However, Zhong Yang has different smart factories and subspace existences, and some mechanical components. This is a good tool for developing alien colonies. As long as Zhong Yang can successfully climb into space, the materials on the ground can be continuously transported with subspace as a link.

Standing at Zhong Yangshenhou, Chen Ze, Liu Haoran and Yi Zhongming, their eyes all seemed extremely eager. The battle on the ground was not over yet, but they had a clear understanding of the outcome. Therefore, they were more eager to participate in the space development plan.

The interests of the earth always have an end, but the vast starry sky universe follows Zhong Yang for endlessly. They have witnessed so many miracles, but they are still impressed by this grand plan. Of course, many things can only be known by them as core members of the Ancient Chinese Society.

Others spent millions to deliver a watermelon, but Zhong Yang did not need a large industrial base secretly built in Pingguo before. It was probably just an experiment, in order to verify the construction capabilities of the mechanical components.

At this time, Chen Ze's mood was hard to calm down. He took the position of Speaker and owned a super-large enterprise like Tianyu Group, but the ambition and fire of igniting in his heart did not fade at all. He was eager for more benefits, and he also understood that Zhong Yang could bring him more benefits

At night, the celebration banquet was held in the reception hall in the base. It was not large in scale, but it seemed very grand. Those who could attend were all real power figures in the entire Nanlian Union and had considerable energy.

"As a military reconnaissance satellite, the 'Tianmu' will also be our first satellite to be sent into the pre-orbit of the Earth. In the next five years, we will launch more than 70 satellites of various types. Its main functional orientations include reconnaissance, surveillance, communication, navigation, meteorology, geodesics and other functional orientations, which will become our celestial eye to look around the earth."

Staring at the crowd present, Zhong Yang raised his wine glass with a calm smile: "To wish us a happy victory, cheers." The cup was filled with nectar, with a crystal clear luster, reflecting the mood of many people at this time.

After drinking the wine, Zhong Yang continued: "This plan is very grand and it concerns its strategic position in the future, so it is difficult to deal with by relying on my own strength. I also hope that more individuals or organizations can participate in our plan. Of course, he must be Chinese first."

"Hahaha" Everyone present was amused by this statement, and some even responded: "The West has ruled the world for nearly a hundred years, and it is time to move their precious butt." Although the words were vulgar, which Chinese people present had never lived in a humble manner in front of foreigners?

If you really have strength, who wants to admire foreign countries? Many times, it is forced by life and has to be forced. Now that Nanlian has such strength, of course, he feels quite proud and proud, and has the courage to point his sword to Western Europe.

"Zhong Yang, what is the form of cooperation you mentioned?" Chen Ze looked at Zhong Yang with a question on his face, as if he was looking forward to getting a share of the huge construction blueprint.

"I will open up relevant technical information on rocket research and development in half a year. Of course, these require payment of patent fees. For the aerospace industry that supports the government and the military, I will consider giving discounts, some satellites that can be bought, sold or rented."

These words can be regarded as an explanation to everyone in the Southern Union. Although it is an internal meeting now, Zhong Yang does not want Chen Ze and Liu Haoran to look too ugly. After all, there are important government and military officials present, and they cannot help but take care of their interests.

Especially the military, developing military satellite technology will definitely not be able to bypass them. Anyway, the moon landing plan is about to begin, and Zhong Yang does not need to compete with these people for the interests of the earth at all. The main battlefield that determines the victory or defeat and the future is not the earth, but the cold and lonely void above his head.

Now it is just a cooperation intention, and there will definitely be more cumbersome negotiations and disputes afterwards, but Zhong Yang doesn't have to come forward in person. The internal spoils sharing conference has not begun yet. Tianyu Group, Xinghua News Agency, Qingzhu Chemical, and these companies are all important parts of space planning.

The core members of the ancient Chinese Association are the protagonists of the entire era

As long as you continue to follow the current path, Zhong Yang will soon be able to escape from the constraints brought by smart factories. The problem of using permissions is gradually being solved. As long as you have complete technical understanding, you will no longer need to pay high permissions.

The open space plan is not open, but internal cooperation. The main participants are the Southern Union Government, military institutions, Tianyu Group, Xinghua News Agency and Qingzhu Chemical. Others are just foils. Moreover, most of the people present today are from the above five institutions, so of course they understand what to say and what not to say.

At present, the Rockets' launch still needs to be kept secret from the outside world. At least until the end of World War II, the outside world cannot be known too much.

With smart factories and subspace, Zhong Yang is not afraid that someone can come from behind in the field of rocket and satellite technology. The space delivery capability alone is not comparable. How many launches are needed for others to build an outer space station? And Zhong Yang only needs one, which is enough, and this is the gap.

There is no need to say much about the huge role of satellites in all areas, especially in military affairs, countries with satellites and without satellites are not comparable at all. Precise positioning of missiles, warship navigation, ultra-high altitude reconnaissance and regional surveillance all require high-performance satellites to provide services to war.

The Western world will only begin to truly explore this field after World War II. However, Zhong Yang has advanced this time in China for a full thirty years. Not to mention, the subsequent moon landing plan will also be launched. Establishing large colonies on the back of the moon is no longer a distant dream.

There is no need to rush the war of unity in China. Japan's first invasion of China will only be launched after 1930. At that time, the Zhang family father and son in the Northeast will be the main defensive force of the first echelon. Although the Soviet Union assassinated Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Shaoshuai, who only knows how to play women, faces the elite Japanese Kwantung Army.

As a result, everyone also saw that Zhang Shaoshang did not disappoint the expectations of the Japanese people for him, and gave it to the entire Northeast and the property that the Feng army had managed for many years. The industrial strength he had borrowed from the Japanese figures was returned to the loving Yamato nation, and the Feng army's own arms inventory was also brought to the Feng army.

The Kwantung Army, which was originally so poor, was finally rich in the invasion war. Therefore, as the leader and heir of the Fengtian Army, Zhang Shaoshen was completely unqualified. However, as the logistics commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, he made great contributions. It can be said that he searched all the entire era, and only Jiang Ruiyuan could barely compare with him.

Inside the subspace, located in the central core control area, the towering metal buildings seem to block the steel crowns of stars. On the top, there is a warm and comfortable lounge arranged in the exterior walls surrounded by tempered glass, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the subspace interior, which is quite ambitious.

"Zhong Yang, what's going on with the Tianmu Plan?" Chen Ze stared at Zhong Yang who seemed to be nothing, wearing a light gray windbreaker with ancient patterns embroidered on it.

Although it was only Chen Ze who asked the question, Liu Haoran and Yi Zhongming, who were sitting beside him, also had the same expression. The thirteen people who came here to attend the core meeting today were still the original thirteen people, the real core members of the Guwen Association.

Zhong Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested, was wearing a lush green dress, with a dragon's head embroidered on the collar, with a simple modern style, but also had an ancient charm to a certain extent. This dress gradually became popular in the upper-class celebrity circle. With the graceful and luxurious style of the ancient Chinese, it also combined with the modern simple temperament.

The Chinese ethnic group is the most adaptable to the development of the times. If it weren’t for Jiannu’s shaving his hair and changing clothes, China might have created its own clothing trend. There wouldn’t be so-called Tang suits. It was obviously a cheongsam jacket, but it was called Tang suits. It would be fine if foreigners had no knowledge. Do Chinese people themselves don’t understand?

Looking at the puzzled expressions of everyone, he also spoke: "This plan is mainly my people responsible. I want to wait until the results come out before telling you. Now the people who can participate in it are Chen Ze, Liu Haoran and Yi Zhongming. You will have the same - Green￡ #小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�

At a glance, Zhong Yang saw that the three of them had different expressions. Tianyu Group, Xinghua Society and Qingzhu Chemical have gradually become giants in the entire Yugoslavia system. Although as members of the Ancient Chinese Society, their interests are still closely linked, Zhong Yang will not let them know anything.

The purpose of supporting them is to complete the foundation of industrial production, and now it has been done. The rest will be marketization to determine who is more qualified to survive. The "Tianmu Plan" involves key areas of national security, and of course Zhong Yang cannot continue to let Chen Ze and the others monopolize it.

Zhong Yang is not here to help some people, but to build a virtuous cycle of social system. Monopoly large enterprises are of great help to the early development of the country, and even during wars. However, in the long run, it will reduce the activity of the social system and make class rigid.

Developing space will definitely require these strong large groups to invest a lot of time, manpower and material resources, so they must choose to withdraw from the original midstream industry. Release some of the interests and allow more private groups to participate. As long as there are still interests that can be divided, the system will not be rigid.

Chen Ze and the other two guessed this. They had already read the corresponding plan, and of course they understood what Zhong Yang meant. After being a boss for so many years, he was not stupid. How could he not understand Zhong Yang's intention? Although he might not be willing to let go of those interests, the bait in front of him was also very attractive.

"I'm willing to join." While Chen Ze was still thinking about gains and losses, Liu Haoran smiled and said his decision. Now he is no longer the shy and shy handsome man in the past. The charm of a mature man is already deep. He has confidence and calmness on his face, and his eyes are bright, and he has made up his mind.

How much benefits can there be on the ground? We still have to compete with so many companies, even if we rely on the strength accumulated in the early stage, we can suppress the challenger. What if we can? The support from Zhong Yang is getting less and less. It would be too late to take advantage of this time and regret it in the future.

The infinitely broad universe is right ahead, and only those who walk in the front can obtain huge benefits beyond imagination
