Besides, the overall reliability of the Long March 80 is here, and Tang Hua is still very confident in winning this round.It's not a question of [-]%+. Except for China, no one has proposed the concept of overall reliability in other places.
Chapter 165, Space National Anthem Singing
Beijing-Guangzhou Line - Zhengtai Railway - Tongpu Railway - Pingyao Railway Station.
The Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the original historical plane is in Kelan County, Xinzhou, but the country has not yet decided to build the Ningke Railway.Pingyao has a ready-made Tongpu Railway and a ready-made Pingyao Railway Station, so the new Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center is located in the ancient city of Pingyao, 70 kilometers south of Taiyuan City.
"In Chinese history, look at Shanghai for a century, Beijing for a thousand years, Shaanxi for 3000 years, and Shanxi for 5000 years. The land under our feet is half of Chinese history."
Marshal Nie Rongzhen, President of the National Defense Advanced Technology Research Institute, set foot on the land of Sanjin again. In the blink of an eye in 20 years, the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Mount Wutai has become a base for education in revolutionary history, and Mount Taihang, where Nie Shuai fought, is still majestic.
"Tao Tang built the capital of Yao here, Yu Gong moved the mountains here, Duke Wen of Jin ruled over the mountains, Jie Zitui hid the mountains, Meng Tian guarded the Great Wall here, Huo Qubing conquered the Xiongnu from here, Sima Guang... in Shanxi Smashed the tank," Tang Hua followed Nie Shuai, "Nie Shuai, the ancient city of Pingyao is so broken."
A group of people looked from outside the ancient city of Pingyao. The city walls are mottled and dilapidated. There are many crooked and dilapidated houses in the city, and some roofs have collapsed and only two or three walls remain.Tang Hua knew that most of the so-called ancient city of Pingyao, the so-called ancient city of Pingyao, was newly built.
Pingyao was first built in the Western Zhou Dynasty in 800 BC. Although the city walls have been rebuilt since then, the address has not changed.The satellite launch center is 6 kilometers south of the ancient city of Pingyao, and there are no mountains between them, so they can see each other.The 800-year-old ancient city and the tall metal towers of the satellite launch center look so harmonious in the winter sun.
Nie Shuai, Tang Hua, Qian Xuesen, Ren Xinmin, Huang Weilu, Tu Shoue, Qian Yi, Yang Jiaxi, Wang Xiji, Yao Tongbin, Zhu Guangya... all got off the train, and the comrades in the documentary room of Bayi Film Studio asked: "Nie Shuai, There are so many people here, do you want to take a photo here?"
Nie Shuai: "It's better for us to take a group photo after the launch is successful. Little comrade, we are not important. The most important thing about this train is the big rocket at the back. You have to follow closely. Try to put it from unloading to launching. The whole process is recorded, and these are the most precious historical records.”
The branch line of Tongpu Railway from Pingyao Station goes directly to the launch tower of the Satellite Launch Center.
This time, a train sent over two Long March-1 rockets and two forward-[-] satellites (main star and backup star-[-]).
If the first launch fails, the second rocket and satellite can be launched within a week.
If both of them fail, Tianjin still has an assembled No. 3 rocket and a backup star No. [-].But both Tang Hua and Qian Xuesen firmly believed that they would not be so memorized.
……
Cape Canaveral.
In front of von Braun is the LC-18A launch pad, and there is a half rocket next to the launch pad—this is the lower half of the "Pioneer" launch vehicle.
"What about the other part of the rocket? It seems that only the first stage is in place now."
Milton Rosen, head of the Pioneer-TV3 project, sighed: "The second and third stages have just been shipped from Glenn Martin and will arrive in Cape Canaveral tomorrow."
Von Braun: "When is the scheduled launch date for Pioneer-TV3?"
Milton Rosen: "Night of December 12th, if the weather is all right."
Von Braun said nothing more, shook his head and left.He served for the U.S. Army, and Milton Rosen was contracted by the Navy. Besides, the two did not belong to the same company. He was only able to approach LC-18A to inspect the rocket with the permission of Dulles. The Pioneer project does not need him Make a suggestion or come up with an idea.
……
Pingyao.
"Nie Shuai, from December 12rd to 3th, the Pingyao area is expected to be sunny, with northerly winds, the minimum wind force is 6-2, and the highest wind force is 3-4. In addition to the weather forecast, we also asked farmers in the vicinity of Pingyao , They said that if the frost is late in November, the first snow in Pingyao will not be until December 5th. In short, both aspects are good news.” Reported by the Director of the Meteorological Office of the Satellite Launch Center.
Nie Shuai: "I also stayed in Jinzhong, and the weather is like this. So, when is the recommended launch time?"
"The suggestion is the morning of December 12th. At this time, the wind is only 4-2, which is suitable for launch."
Nie Shuai: "Then go according to this time."
"Wow, this is a launch vehicle? It's so tall, it must be as high as a ten-story building!"
Secretary Chen of the Yuci Public Office to which Pingyao belongs was allowed to enter the satellite launch center and walked around under the launch tower.
Nie Shuai: "There are 10 or 8 floors instead of 9 floors. This time, the construction of the launch center has been accelerated, and your regional government has contributed a lot. It has sent a construction team of more than 7000 people and supported a lot of construction materials. It has contributed a lot. .”
"The Soviet Union successfully launched a man-made satellite, and after two months, we will be able to launch a satellite like the Soviet Union's big brother?"
Nie Shuai: "Of course. We Chinese are no worse than others."
……
"Old Qian, you can't sleep either?"
Tang Hua was wrapped in a coat and looked at the brightly lit launcher 500 meters away from the roof. At this time, Qian Xuesen also came up from the stairs in the same dress.
"I can't sleep at all, except for the excitement. There are still six hours, and the moment of making history is here."
唐华看看时间，12月4日凌晨0时20分。“还有5小时40分。”
Qian Xuesen: "...Nie Shuai? Dean Nie, why are you here too, take care of your health."
Nie Shuai joined the ranks of watching the night scene, "In 37, when the Japanese invaded Shanxi, our 115th Division crossed the Yellow River to the east, and almost all of our divisions were overwhelmed at Xinkou, and only then did we destroy a logistics transport unit of the Banyuan Division. Lost. 20 years, only 20 years, we today..."
Qian Xuesen: "Twenty years ago, I was playing tricks on the campus with some classmates at Caltech. Once I played too much. The nozzles of the rocket engines I made spun around and burned down half of the dormitory building. Caltech burned us. Get out there and give us a field to experiment with. . . . The engine, I remember, was Olin Smith's proposed hydrogen peroxide and alcohol, and Jack Parsons' jet director . . . "
Tang Hua: "Jack Parsons died in an accident while testing a rocket engine in 1952. But Olin Smith is now the chief aerodynamic engineer. Maybe he is developing an American launch vehicle."
……
At 12 o'clock in the morning in early December, it was just dawn.
Fueling, the last inspection of the rocket and satellite, the Long March-1 entered the last 1 minute of preparation period.
“倒计时开始。10、9、8、7、6、5、4、3、2、1，发射！”
Outside the city of Pingyao, an old farmer carrying a bamboo basket and holding a dung fork to pick up dung opened his mouth into an O shape: "I am a relative, I will ascend to heaven!"
The 42-ton Long March-1 rocket rises vertically driven by a 67-ton rocket engine.As the fuel burns less and less, the acceleration of the rocket increases.Ascended to a high altitude, the rocket's flight speed has reached three times the speed of sound, and its flight direction turned to the southeast. At this time, the people on the ground saw the Long March-[-] as just a small dot dragging flames.
Over Lankao County, the first stage fell off, the fairing fell off, the icosahedron's diamond-like body of Forward One was exposed, and the second stage ignited.
Between Hangzhou-Jinhua, the second level fell off.
"The third-stage ignition is normal." The Taizhou radar monitoring and control station reported.
"The rocket is flying normally." The Taipei Jiguanshan radar monitoring and control station reported.
The third-stage engine propelled Qianjin No. [-] to continue to rise and accelerate, leaving the field of vision of the Jiguanshan radar monitoring and control station and flying towards the equator.
As a non-military space launch, the Long March-[-] continuously sends radio signals during the flight to facilitate ground positioning.After flying out of China, the radio signal continued to be sent.
The Okinawa listening station of the U.S. military heard the signal and located the Long March-[-].Listening stations in the Solomon Islands picked up.Listening stations in New Zealand picked up.
……
"Leningrad heard the radio signal, and I think the Chinese comrades have succeeded."
Qianjin-[-] has circled more than half of the earth, passing the territory of the Soviet Union, and then entering the sky over Xinjiang, passing through Tibet and Yunnan, and then entering the Indochina Peninsula.Therefore, Korolev listened to the broadcast of Qianjin No. [-] earlier than Tang Hua Qian Xuesen.
In fact, Leningrad was not the first monitoring station to confirm the successful launch of Forward-[-]. The data measured by the listening station of the United States in New Zealand showed that the satellite had reached the first cosmic speed and was traveling in space relying on inertia.
In space at an altitude of 300 kilometers, the solar panels of Forward 12 continuously supply electricity, and the radio transmission device plays [-] songs in an endless loop.Just after the national anthem was played over Xinjiang, it switched to "Unbreakable Alliance" in Yunnan, the East German song "Rising from the Ruins" over South Vietnam, and "Poland Will Never Die" over Indonesia...
