"Suppose Comrade Khrushchev insists that you do it, otherwise he will send you to Siberia to dig potatoes."
Korolev: "Then I'll dig potatoes."
Chapter 21, Second round of nuclear tests
The 1980 moon landing...
Not only Korolev, Kuznetsov also thinks so.In the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, ministers related to aerospace and missiles also felt the same way: Not only the Soviet Union, but also the United States had to send people to the moon almost in 1980.
Who would have thought that a year later, Kennedy, a fool, would submit a formal report to Congress after being stimulated by Gagarin's space flight: "The United States will send humans to the moon and return them to Earth safely before the end of this decade."
As for the Soviet Union, in the first few years, the Soviet Union always felt that the United States was engaging in strategic deception.
Kennedy submitted a report to Congress, and the Soviet Union felt that Congress must be pretending to be obedient.
The following year, Kennedy publicly delivered the famous speech "We choose to go to the moon." The Soviet Union did not believe it, thinking that he was fooling the Soviet Union into following up the moon landing race and wasting money and food from competitors.
It was not until 1965 that the large shell of the Saturn 5 gradually took shape, and the Soviet high-level officials "fucked" and "fucked" for a while.
"Comrade Korolev," Tang Hua said, "Although the current technology is very reluctant to send a man to the moon, if we don't spare any money to sprint, the time to successfully land on the moon may be longer than we originally expected." morning."
Korolev: "But the Soviet Union's money is not unlimited. It was better last year. This year, just last month, Chairman Khrushchev was very angry and asked us to speed up the production of intercontinental missiles, and the production of launch vehicles will follow suit. It has been lowered. The United States will also encounter a situation similar to ours, and they will also expand their arms and prepare for war.”
……
Forget it, if you don't argue with Korolev, there is no theoretical basis for arguing now, and you can't convince him.
The NK-15 engine is more interesting.
This engine was developed as a project this year, and it is planned to be produced in 1964.Since Korolev and Kuznetsov directly disclosed the existence of the NK-15/11D51 program, it is China and the Soviet Union working together.
This is exactly what Tang Hua wanted. Qian Xuesen's team sent one or two people, together with the electronics and control system team, not only produced the NK-1964 in 15, but also strived to make the engine more perfect.
The only problem is that from what Korolev and Kuznetsov said, the Soviet Union has no firm idea about what kind of rocket the NK-15 engine will be used in the future. It seems that there are two or three plans that are arguing.
There are not so many entanglements on the Chinese side, and the arrangements have long been made clear.
“长三捆绑四个助推器的CZ-3K4，大约可以把14吨的载荷送入近地轨道，这已经把长三的潜力挖掘得差不多了，”钱学森说，“CZ-3K2是8到10吨。我现在设想了两个火箭，一级四台11D51的长征-4；一级七台11D51的长征-5。”
Tang Hua: "Long March-4 has a take-off thrust of more than 600 tons, which overlaps with the Long March-3 series. Is it the Long March-3 that intends to eliminate the dinitrogen tetroxide-hydrazine rocket engine?"
"I have this idea. The Long March-5 is more powerful. This is the rocket I have always wanted. The take-off thrust is 1060 tons, and the performance of the 11D51, if it can be developed according to the plan, is much stronger than the hydrazine engine. The Long March- The near-ground capacity of the 5 can reach 20 to 25 tons. Then, if necessary, the Long March-5 can also use the method of bundling boosters to expand its capacity."
Tang Hua: "That's interesting. Apart from quickly deploying satellite systems with one arrow and multiple satellites, do you know what else this thing can do?"
Qian Xuesen: "I know that it can send a small probe to softly land on the moon. Although it is too small to carry astronauts, it can carry... the kind of intelligent robot you mentioned."
"Intelligent robot or intelligent lunar rover, it's almost such a thing," Tang Hua said, "Actually, I have another idea, because it is not yet mature, so I haven't told Korolev these two days. In low-Earth orbit A working space laboratory, I'm going to call it a space station."
……
A space station, a tool for cosmic observation and scientific experiments.
Apart from scientific research projects for spaceflight itself, from the Mir to the International Space Station, the scientific breakthroughs completed on the space station in the past few decades include:
Formation of Bose-Einstein condensate, the fifth state of matter, on the space station;
Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-1 and Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 on the International Space Station, searching for antimatter and dark matter;
A large part of the research results of pulsars and black holes that are being hyped around by the media now come from the research of the space station;
By the way, many pathogenic mechanisms of asthma were discovered after long-term observation on the space station after the 90s.
Among other things, in this era, the creation of Bose-Einstein condensates will definitely win a dynamite award. When Tang Hua comes to get the experimental equipment, Landau will be responsible for formulating the equations and deriving the formulas.
By the late 60s, China's funding for spaceflight and basic scientific research should be slightly more. When the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for the first place in the moon landing, China secretly engaged in manned spacecraft, space stations, and the first First generation, second generation, third generation... It's exciting to think about it.
"In the end, it turns out that you also support manned spaceflight." Qian Xuesen said, "and the scale is not small."
Tang Hua: "The scale is not small, but it will be postponed for a few years, and it is different from the goals of the United States and the Soviet Union. Now the Soviet Union and the United States have another planet as their goal. The first goal is to set foot on the moon, and the next step may be Mars, it may be some other star, I always feel that I must set foot on a certain planet to conquer the universe. In fact, it doesn’t necessarily need to go there, space itself can be the goal of human beings.”

Beijing, State Meteorological Administration.
Fengyun-[-] passed over China again, and the satellite cloud image it took was transmitted to the ground immediately. Tu Changwang lay down in front of the computer monitor to look at the image without waiting for the data to be printed and converted into a negative.
"Although it is an experimental star, the image information is already valuable," Tu Changwang pointed to the screen, "On the image from two hours ago, I collected the cloud images of half of China's land at once, including images of two kinds of spectra. , what else do you want with this?"
Ye Duzheng: "I think so. It's a pity that there is only one satellite in orbit now, and it will go to the sky over foreign countries after two orbits. It is time to launch three more experimental satellites of this type and use them first. There are four Fengyun-[-] in the sky. We can almost make dynamic cloud maps."
"Minister Tang said that we must have the target star," Huang Peichang said. "Minister Tang won't stop until the perfect performance he thinks is achieved."
Tu Changwang: "Then when he achieves his goal, what he brings out can scare us silly."
Two years ago, although the Tianhe-24 computer was "forced out by Zhu Kezhen's algorithm" on the surface, even Zhu Kezhen, at the beginning, had no hope of solving the weather forecast within [-] hours. He just wanted to do it purely theoretical research.
Unexpectedly, Tang Hua actually said that after two or three years, I will give you a computer that can calculate medium and long-term weather forecasts?
"This year the atomic and hydrogen bombs not only scared us, but also surprised the whole world." Huang Peichang added.
Tu Changwang: "By the way, I'm not very familiar with atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Why did we successfully detonate a hydrogen bomb in February and conduct an atomic bomb test last week?"
……
"On the morning of July 1960, 7, China successfully conducted an atomic bomb test in Lop Nur, Xinjiang."
"This trial is not targeting any country or group of countries."
"China's development of nuclear weapons is to safeguard world peace, to break nuclear blackmail and nuclear threats, to prevent nuclear war, and to eventually eliminate nuclear weapons. The Chinese government and people are willing to work together with the governments and peoples of other countries to achieve this lofty goal."
The fourth nuclear test, the code name of the nuclear bomb is "Taotie".
It was an implosion plutonium bomb.
Taotie still uses the [-]-meter tower explosion method to detonate. Now the commanders and fighters at the Lop Nur base are familiar with the mushroom cloud. After the flash, they are patiently calculating the distance and time, and estimating the arrival of the shock wave.After the shock wave, just do what you should do.
"The gluttonous equivalent is 15000 tons, and your previous calculations are quite accurate, simply too accurate," Zhang Yunyu said, "The next test will be two months later?"
"A month or two," Wang Ganchang said, "Codenamed Gu Diao, this is a big guy."
Fang Shan, Institute of Atomic Energy, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Six hours after Taotie exploded in Lop Nur, Fangshan's computer began to receive data one after another.
In the past six months, the network cable was finally pulled from Urumqi to Lop Nur. The fiber optic line in Urumqi was not too early, and it was only repaired in January 1960.In addition to the main civil and government lines, there is also a physically isolated national defense line in parallel, and the computer servers in Lop Nur and Fangshan are connected by this line.
The time required to sort out the degrees of various instruments at the nuclear test site varies. The fastest can be sent after 6 hours, and the slowest can be sorted out after 5 days.Deng Jiaxian and Yu Min stayed in front of the Internet computer during working hours, and opened it immediately when there was an email notification.
