NOVEL WEB Chapter 90
The time came to January 20, 1997. In the northwest of China,
Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
At dawn, the sky was pale. Located in the vast Gobi Desert, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center ushered in the most important moment in its history.
Here, elites from all over the world gathered…….Their eyes were all focused on the towering launch tower, where the Long March 2 carrier rocket stood quietly, like a warrior about to embark on a journey, waiting for the final order.
Zhou Zhengguo, director of the 303 Comprehensive Research Institute and Minister of the Ministry of Military Industry, Xu Hang, director of the Space Administration, and many scientific research backbones and technical personnel gathered together……Their hearts were filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Because today they were going to witness the launch of the Beidou-1 satellite…….This is not only the first satellite of the BeiDou global satellite navigation system, but also another milestone in the country’s aerospace industry.
Behind all this, there is a key figure – Chief Designer Su Chu……His wisdom and sweat have injected life into Beidou No. 1.
Su Chu stood in front of the crowd with a determined look…….He knew that this moment was of extraordinary significance.
Beidou-1 not only carries the hope of building a global positioning system, but is also the key to improving the combat effectiveness of the rabbit army! Without a global positioning system, the combat effectiveness of the rabbit army will definitely be greatly reduced and controlled by others.
Now it is 1997, and the rabbit’s satellite launch is already very mature.
The Long March 2C carrier rocket is carrying the Beidou-1 satellite this time!
The Long March 2C carrier rocket is a two-stage conventional liquid carrier rocket developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology on the basis of the Long March 2. It uses nitrogen tetroxide/undimethylhydrazine as propellant and is mainly used to launch low-orbit and sun-synchronous orbit satellites.
The entire rocket is 43.72 meters long, the arrow body diameter is 3.35 meters, the take-off mass is 245 tons, and the LEO carrying capacity is 4.0 tons.
The improved Long March 2C series rockets are capable of launching LEO、SSO、GTO and highly elliptical orbit satellite capabilities……It has the capability to launch one satellite or multiple satellites with one rocket.
The Long March 2C successfully developed the active nutation control spin-stabilized SM upper stage for the first time, breaking through the adaptability technology of a rocket to different launch sites…….
For the first time, the internal support and installation structure of the SMA upper stage with two satellites in series was successfully developed, which can complete various types of satellite launch missions.
017 Since the first successful launch of the Long March 2C in September 1982, it has always perfectly completed various launch missions, so it was awarded the title of”Gold Medal Rocket”, which is the first”Gold Medal Rocket” of Rabbit.
This time, the Long March 2B carrier rocket was used, which shows the importance of the superiors to the Beidou satellite this time!
After everything is ready.
The Beidou-1 satellite officially began to launch!
With the beginning of the countdown, the atmosphere of the entire launch center reached its peak.
The beating of each number seemed to be knocking on everyone’s heart, nervous and excited.
“10, 9, 8……”
The sound reverberated across the empty Gobi Desert, and each number seemed to carry a heavy weight of history and the future.
“3, 2, 1, ignition!”
With the order from Su Chu, the commander-in-chief of the launch, the engine at the bottom of the Long March 2 carrier rocket suddenly erupted with dazzling flames, and the huge roar instantly drowned out everything around.
Rumble!…
Boom boom boom……
The rocket was like an awakened dragon, rising slowly with earth-shaking momentum, pointing straight to the sky.
Su Chu stared at the trajectory of the rocket, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The rocket was successfully launched, but this is just the beginning, the real challenge is still to come.
Buzz buzz buzz……
Whoosh whoosh……
The rocket accelerated upward, gradually closing the distance to the sky.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next critical moment to arrive.
“”First stage separated!”
With the report from the control center, the first stage of the Long March 2 rocket completed its mission and fell off smoothly…….
Whoosh whoosh……
The second stage rocket then ignited, continuing to push the satellite towards a higher orbit.
This process was like a carefully choreographed dance, with every movement being precise and accurate, demonstrating the Rabbit’s superb aerospace technology.
“Second stage separation, third stage ignition!”
As the command was issued, the third stage of the rocket also began to work…….It will be the final boost to send Beidou-1 into its intended orbit.
At this moment, the rocket has passed through the atmosphere and entered a near-vacuum environment at an amazing speed.
Under the gaze of everyone, the third stage of the rocket also completed its mission and separated smoothly.
At this moment, the Beidou-1 satellite finally broke away from the embrace of the rocket, drew a beautiful arc in space alone, and began its journey to its intended orbit.
“The satellite has successfully entered orbit!”
The broadcast from the control center sounded, and at this moment, the entire launch center erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
Zhou Zhengguo, Xu Hang and other leaders shook hands to celebrate, and Su Chu was so excited that some of his eyes were filled with tears.
This was not easy.
He knew that this was not only a technical victory, but also the realization of the country’s space dream.
Xu Hang and Zhou Zhengguo shook hands tightly, with excitement and pride in their eyes…….They immediately expressed their sincerest congratulations to Su Chu.
Zhou Zhengguo looked at Su Chu excitedly and said,”Su Chu, your wisdom and sweat have not been in vain. The successful launch of Beidou No. 1 is a great achievement for us…….This is another glorious chapter in our country’s space history!”
“I believe that under your leadership, we can definitely build our own global positioning system!”
Xu Hang was also excited and added:”Yes……Su Chu, you are really amazing.”
Facing the congratulations of the two superiors, Su Chu showed a humble and firm smile on his face, and said:”The successful launch of the Beidou-1 satellite is only the first step in building a global positioning system. Next, we need to continuously launch satellites and complete the networking to ensure that our Beidou system can cover the world. This is the ultimate goal!”
The Beidou satellite navigation system is not only a technical project, but also an important strategic resource related to national security, economic development and even international status.
Xu Hang hurriedly said:”Okay, our Space Administration will fully cooperate and support you!”
Zhou Zhengguo also stated:”Our Ministry of Military Industry will also give strong resource allocation and support!” The
Beidou-1 satellite was successfully launched, and the next step is to test the satellite and establish communications, etc…….As long as other Beidou satellites are deployed step by step, the global network can be fully established! (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Because Su Chu has mastered Beidou’s global satellite navigation technology, these are not difficult…….Next, we just need to implement these technologies step by step and build satellites!
While Su Chu was building the combined brigade and the heavy combined brigade, he was also conquering the final drone technology!
Su Chu and the 303 Institute’s drone project team started from multiple dimensions such as design, materials, power, and control, striving for perfection in every detail…….They knew that military drones, especially reconnaissance and strike drones, have extremely high technical requirements, and any negligence could lead to the failure of the entire project.
This is why the drone project has been working on related technologies since it was launched in 1996.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
In this process, the team encountered unprecedented challenges: insufficient material strength, unstable power system, and complex autonomous navigation algorithms….(aj)…Each problem is like a boulder lying in front of us, testing everyone’s wisdom and perseverance.
But Su Chu never gave up. He always encouraged everyone:”There is no smooth road to innovation. It is these difficulties that have laid the foundation for our progress.”
Although Su Chu has mastered the technology of drones, he also needs to solve the external hardware conditions to achieve it.
This is also the reason why it takes a lot of time.
With the overcoming of a series of technical difficulties, the 303 Institute ushered in a historic moment – the design and manufacturing of the first military drone”Wing Loong-1″ is nearing completion.
This drone not only has advanced reconnaissance capabilities, but is also equipped with a precise strike system, truly realizing the strategic goal of integrated reconnaissance and strike.
February 1st, a day worth remembering. The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and shone on the runway of the 303 Institute.
Su Chu stood next to the”Wing Loong-1″, gazing at this aerial weapon that condensed countless sweat and wisdom, with unspeakable excitement and pride in his heart.
“Test flight!”
With Su Chu’s order, the test flight officially began.
Buzz buzz buzz……
Whoosh whoosh……
“The Wing Loong-1 slowly rose up amid the roar of its engines, like an eagle spreading its wings ready to fly, breaking the tranquility of winter.
Everyone present watched with bated breath, nervous yet full of anticipation.
The drone flexibly completed a series of pre-set actions in the air: high-speed flight, low-altitude reconnaissance, target locking and simulated attack…….Every movement is precise and accurate, demonstrating its excellent performance[]
When the Wing Loong-1 landed smoothly on the runway, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the control room.
The entire drone team hugged each other tightly, tears and smiles intertwined, this was the joy of victory…….Because it is not easy to develop such a drone.
Su Chu looked at the successful test flight of the Wing Loong 1 drone, and his heart was filled with emotion!
Although the Wing Loong 1 drone took more than a year to develop, it was a world-leading drone as soon as it was built, with a maximum ceiling of nearly 8,000 meters, a flight time of 35 hours, and a weapon load of 300 kilograms!
First of all, the fuselage of the Wing Loong-1 drone is made entirely of composite materials, which achieves the overall lightweight of the entire fuselage platform and improves the fuselage strength…….This design not only reduces the weight of the drone, but also increases its load capacity and range.
In addition, the Wing Loong 1 drone uses the Zongshen C145 aviation piston engine…….This is a 145 horsepower four-cylinder four-stroke horizontally opposed four-stroke water-cooled aviation piston engine with abundant power, which greatly expands the application range of the UAV.
Most importantly, the number of wing attachment points of the Wing Loong 1 UAV has been increased to 4, and there are 300 kg attachment points on the belly, which greatly increases the range and number of weapons that can be mounted…….It can carry optoelectronic pods, synthetic aperture radars, electronic reconnaissance and other detection equipment, as well as a variety of air-to-ground missiles and bombs.
It can be said that the Wing Loong 1 UAV is more powerful than the M-1″Predator” UAV that has just been put into service in the United States!
M -The M- 1 Predator UAV is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, multi-purpose UAV system developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems of the United States. It first flew in 1994 and entered service in 1995. It is considered the most advanced UAV in the United States.
Therefore, the M-1 Predator UAV has the ability to stay in the air for a long time and fly at high altitudes, and is suitable for performing long-term reconnaissance and surveillance missions…….
The drone can not only be used for reconnaissance and surveillance, but can also carry and launch missiles to perform strike missions, realizing reconnaissance and strike integration.
It is equipped with optoelectronic/infrared reconnaissance equipment, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), etc.
, and can provide high-quality reconnaissance images under different weather conditions.
As an offensive drone, the M-1″Predator” drone can carry two AGM-114″Hellfire” anti-tank missiles for ground attacks.
Even if the Wing Loong 1 drone cannot match the Eagle Sauce’s M-1″Predator” drone, it is not inferior at all.
Seeing that the Wing Loong 1 drone’s test flight was successful, Su Chu excitedly said:”Today, we have proved that we have the ability to create our own glory in the field of high technology…….But this is just the beginning. The success of Wing Loong-1 is only the first step towards a higher technological peak. In the future, we will create more advanced drones!”
As a time traveler, Su Chu knows that drone warfare will be the real mainstream in the future! Wing
Loong-1 drone is just the beginning!
���Beidou satellites have started to launch and form a network, and the Wing Loong UAV has been launched… These new weapons and equipment are enough to make the world nervous!
After all, no one expected that Rabbit would catch up from behind!
Of course, the Beidou satellite system and Wing Loong UAV are still confidential.
The outside world does not know that Rabbit has successfully developed new equipment.
In addition, while Su Chu is developing drones, the most important thing is to cooperate with the military to build heavy-duty combined brigades and ordinary combined brigades.
This is the first step in the reform of the Rabbit Army…….
