Tu Shancheng: "That's good. In a month or so, I think Luna [-]B will be pulled out and launched..."
……
Beijing.
Because everyone was thinking about the next U-2 research/show off, the shock caused by the overhead reconnaissance quickly turned into a technical seminar, and then into specific actions.
Since the Soviet Union had previously notified the details of U-2, which is a very annoying aircraft, the Chinese side did not know much about U-2. Although the success rate of the method against U-2 is not very high, the number of tests has been increased. , can always find a way.
The semi-mobile air defense warning radar towed by heavy trucks proposed by Tang Hua is also one of the options, but it will not be available until 1959 or even early 1960.
"Xuanxuan, it's Xia Meng's letter again, come over and open it together?"
Zhou Xuan sighed, came over from Tang Hancheng who was doing homework, opened the letter and glanced at it, "This time we are discussing the soundtrack, it has nothing to do with me, just reply."
In April last year, Xia Meng, as a member of Hong Kong leftist filmmakers, came to Beijing to attend the Film Workers Congress. After meeting with Tang Hua and Zhouxuan, the two sides have exchanged correspondence.
The correspondence was very serious, but Zhou Xuan still had to interrogate each letter several times, and later Tang Hua simply opened the letter with Zhou Xuan.The letters sometimes discuss movies, sometimes music, and sometimes talk about acting skills——Tang Hua asks Zhou Xuan to help return letters such as performing arts.
In last month's letter, Xia Meng and Tang Hua discussed the flourishing of literary and artistic work.Well, it's almost 1959, and the Hundred Flowers are still blooming on this plane.This letter is about the music of "Soul of the Sea".
"Soul of the Sea tells the story of the Kuomintang naval officers and soldiers who were dissatisfied with the authorities' civil war and dark rule, and led an uprising. ..."
The "Soul of the Sea" in this plane is quite different from the "Soul of the Sea" in the original history.After all, Shanghai Film was directly inspired by "Song Jingshi", and since this film is a key military-themed film, the State Administration of Film approved the use of color film.Especially the Zhi-5 aerial photography, from the bow to the stern of the warship sailing at high speed, this long shot is enough for Tang Hua to enjoy watching.
Because the warship used as a prop is the Chongqing ship.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Chongqing ship worked very hard in order to cooperate with the shooting. They removed the anti-aircraft missiles at the rear of the ship, and covered the launcher with canvas and plates to look like a small house. Other places that might be exposed were also covered. .
"I've finished writing my reply, and I'm asking my wife to review it." Tang Hua shouted.
During last year's meeting, Tang Hua habitually came up to shake hands and say hello when he saw historical celebrities. He didn't expect Zhou Xuan to be watching from the side, and the other party was Xia Meng... This sequelae is estimated to last for many years.

United States, Cape Canaveral Space Launch Center.
The Juno-II launch vehicle is unloaded from the train.
Unlike Soviet launch vehicles, Juno-II was transported with a thick cushion, and was even more careful when unloading——Juno-II is not an empty shell now, it is not a liquid fuel rocket, but a solid rocket, Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all filled with rocket propellant when they leave the factory, which is heavy and dangerous.
There is a big difference between Juno-II and Juno-1. The latter weighs only 29 tons, while Juno-II weighs 55 tons, which is heavier than Long March-1.
But now the United States is not asking Juno-II to launch an artificial earth satellite, but to launch a lunar probe.
"What's the point of us launching a 6-kilogram object near the moon?" asked an Air Force officer present.
Pickering, director of JPL, rubbed his head, considered the words for a while, and then returned: "It makes sense. Even if an object of 1 kilogram can be launched to the moon, it is good. Although it is useless, it is meaningful."
……
December 12, Baikonur Cosmodrome.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, launch."
Tu Shancheng and three Changfeng engineers stared intently at the Luna launch vehicle that took off from the observation slot. Four days ago, when Ivan was inspecting in the workshop, the vigor of Ivan’s sledgehammer hammering down still made his heart tremble. endlessly.
"Perseverance, persistence, after the first level of persistence is burned, there will be no problem." Tu Shancheng muttered.
"Tugong, it's useless," said the Changfeng engineer beside him. "What you saw was Fat Ivan adjusting the rocket with a sledgehammer. On the 6th, when you were in a meeting, the engineer who assembled the second stage, Thin Ivan, , It took a long time to put a part in with a file."
Tu Shancheng: ...
The rocket flew higher and higher, and Tu Shancheng's posture gradually changed from standing to kneeling down, so as to continue watching the rocket from the observation gap.What he was most worried about did not happen. The first stage of the rocket passed the test smoothly, and the four boosters fell off to form a cross in the air.
The second level was also successfully passed, which was known from the radio communicator 2 minutes later.
The third stage also worked steadily until the fuel was exhausted and the Luna-[-]B satellite fell off.
According to the orbit calculated by Korolev, Luna-[-]A will not start at this time, and when it comes back after half a circle around the earth, the ground center will determine the ignition plan of the rocket engine according to the trajectory of the satellite, and send the command to the satellite.
……
Over the next three days, the Luna-3A satellite transformed from an Earth-orbiting satellite to an Earth-Moon voyage.The communication between the ground and the Luna is normal at 4 kilometers, normal at 10 kilometers, 20 kilometers, [-] kilometers... Every time the ground control center sends out a control command, Luna-[-]B will respond.
"Comrade General Secretary, the Luna-6A satellite has almost succeeded," Korolev said happily on the phone, "it will hit the moon in [-] hours, and I can predict the impact location, right on the quiet side of the moon. ocean."
"So, I can let "Pravda" write the manuscript of the successful launch?" Khrushchev was ecstatic.
"Almost all right."
Early in the morning of June 12.
The Luna-[-]A satellite flew straight to the moon without deceleration.The ballistic calculation is basically accurate, and Luna [-]A will be captured by the moon and make a "hard landing" in the Sea of Tranquility.
At 12:15 a.m. on December 3, Luna 25A succeeded in a "hard landing" like a meteorite.Observatories on the ground cannot observe the detailed process of the impact. At this time, the satellite is like a cannonball, hitting the moon at a very high speed and at a 2-degree angle of incidence, stirring up moon dust hundreds of meters high, disturbing the silence. Regions of the Moon over millions of years.
When the moon dust flew up, Luna-40A also completely disintegrated, and some satellite parts were deeply embedded in the lunar soil, but a section of the antenna manufactured by the Leningrad Electromechanical Instrument Factory collapsed and fell 55 meters away from the impact point. The control box produced by the Tianjin Satellite Manufacturing Factory was deformed and shattered, and the box cover flew [-] meters away. The motherboard fragments and six or seven DSP chips inside the control box also flew out, scattered around the impact point.
This can also be regarded as the first time that an object made by the Chinese has reached the moon, although it was not sent up by a Chinese rocket.
Chapter 199, NASA salted fish turned over
"From December 12st last year to December 1st this year, in this year, more than 12 children in Beijing were named 'Satellite', and more than 1 children were named 'Guoxing'. The most were named Zhang Weixing, 500 , 200 named Li Weixing. Zhao Guoxing actually has the most in the Guoxing group, and Beijing has added 10 Zhao Guoxing in the past year."
At the end of 1958, the Population Department of the National Bureau of Statistics obtained data on newborns in Beijing.Seeing the names of the newborns, Xue Muqiao couldn't help laughing.
"The national data has not yet been calculated, and I estimate that it will only be more or less."
After Xue Muqiao finished explaining the statistic data, everyone here either snorted or haha, very happy.
"In 49, a lot of children were called Jianguo, Liberation, and Xinhua. In 50, 51, and 52, a lot of children were called Anti-Americanism and Aid Korea. Tang Hua's Seoul is also related to Anti-American Aid Korea." The chief accountant said, "Now it has become Satellite theme. I don’t know what name will suddenly become popular in the future.”
An Ziwen: "It can't be... landing on the moon?"
Li Fuchun: "It's hard to say. Not long ago, at the CPPCC meeting, a member of the CPPCC solemnly proposed a motion, saying that it is recommended that China launch a large rocket to land on the moon."
Tang Hua: "Don't! It's too expensive to do this."
Landing on the moon is a spectacle-level project. As the saying goes, spectacle can harm the country.
"I think the chairman and the prime minister should also postpone this," Li Fuchun said. "It is better to prioritize the use of national finances for construction. Now it is December 12th, and the annual data is not yet available, but the first three quarters The data can be used as analysis samples, and the data of some provinces with good information is updated to November. In the first year of the Second Five-Year Plan, the development is generally balanced. There are two main problems. One is that the installed capacity of new power plants in East China is insufficient, which may In 20, there will be a certain degree of power shortage in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta, and the second is the Northeast, where the development progress of the Jianjun Oilfield is slightly slow.”
An Ziwen: "On the issue of energy, for me, the growth rate of electricity consumption in the Yangtze River Delta exceeded expectations in 1958. We discovered this phenomenon in July and August, and began to give feedback. The thermal power plants under construction in Zhenjiang and Changzhou each increased. Three sets of 7-kilowatt thermal power generating units, with a total installed capacity of 8-kilowatts, were delivered in October 3. As long as the shortcomings did not start before October 5, Zhenjiang and Changzhou should be able to top it. There is another A 30-kilowatt thermal power station has just been planned."
"Building an army oil field is also a matter of the Ministry of Energy. Now it may be necessary to transfer a group of engineers and technicians from the oil industry from across the country to engage in a centralized development there. It is also called an oil battle."
"Actually, there is another problem, Guangxi," the seldom-spoken Boss Peng said, "The construction in Guangxi is normal, but the grassroots in Guangxi are so popular that I want to go to the scene to observe it."
Li Fuchun: ...
