Chapter 129 A miracle happened—"Full signal!"
In March, the wine market is still cold and chilly.
The sky is blue and there is not a single cloud in sight. It is a good time to launch a satellite.
As the commander of the Jiushi Satellite Launch Center, Yang Qinian is the one who has the final say here.
However, now he was a little depressed.
I just received an order from my superior:
"The satellite launch will be delayed for half an hour. An important leader is coming to give instructions!"
You have to know that there is a strict window period for satellite launches.
One minute more or one minute less will increase the rocket fuel, thus resulting in huge launch costs.
At the conference table in the command hall.
Wang Fuyong, the chief launch engineer, had an even darker face.
"Commander Yang, isn't this nonsense? Our superiors have approved the launch time. If we postpone it temporarily, the cost will definitely increase sharply. Which leader is so bold?"
Wang Fuyong couldn't help knocking on the table.
Yang Qinian sighed, "I don't know either. I'm afraid the people above are quite powerful. Let's not get involved. We should just do whatever they tell us to do. If anything goes wrong, they will be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with us."
"You should calm down too! Anger is bad for your health."
"Hey, this official is one level higher and can crush people to death!"
As he spoke, Commander Yang's voice gradually became softer, and he seemed quite helpless.
"Humph!"
When Wang Fuyong heard this, his nose twitched, he turned his face away and snorted coldly.
···
ten minutes later.
Commander Yang suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
Before he could open the window to check the situation, a secretary came trotting over to report.
"Commander Yang, there's a transport plane parked outside, and a lot of people are coming!"
When Yang Qinian heard this, he stood up and ran out the door.
"This is quite a big deal. They even used the military's transport plane!"
'I'm afraid something big is going to happen!'
Yang Qinian straightened his clothes and went to meet him.
Take a closer look.
Only then did they realize that the visitor was actually Mr. Deng, the president of Xiake Academy, and two officers with general stars on their shoulders.
A major general and a lieutenant general!
The key is that these two people are extremely young!
Damn, this person is more powerful than him.
Yang Qinian gritted his teeth and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"Welcome to the Jiushi Satellite Launch Center. I am the commander here, Yang Qinian. You can ask me any questions you have."
Lin Xiao looked at the tall satellite launcher and said excitedly: "Hello, hello, luckily the satellite has not been launched, we finally got here!"
Engineer Wang Fuyong standing by was stunned.
I thought to myself: It’s because of the delay in the launch, otherwise the satellites would be orbiting the earth now.
However, he only thought about this in his mind and would never say it out loud.
At this time, Old Deng took out a red-headed document with the words of the highest official of the Xia Kingdom and the elders' handwritten order from his arms and handed it to Yang Qinian.
"Commander Yang, we are here under the order of Elder No. 1 to install a special material on this satellite."
"You also know that the solar storm will intensify the day after tomorrow, which will interfere with global communications, but this material can effectively resist this impact."
As he spoke, Mr. Deng took out a thin piece of black paper from the safe.
After hearing this, Wang Fuyong could no longer sit still.
"No, what if something goes wrong when this material is installed on our satellite?"
"I disagree!"
Everyone was shocked.
Then with an awkward smile on his face, he thought:
Commander Yang has no objection, so what do you, a little follower, have to say?
Yang Qinian chuckled, easing the awkward atmosphere.
"Haha, don't get me wrong, this is Comrade Wang Fuyong, the chief engineer of our launch center. He may have spoken a little harshly, but he means well."
"He designed and built this satellite, so it's understandable that he's concerned about it, but I trust my superiors."
Lin Xiao knew that those who could become the commander of the launch center must be shrewd people, speak smoothly, and would never offend anyone randomly.
The Yang Qinian in front of him was quite interesting.
After all, the arms couldn't twist the thighs.
Wang Fuyong had no choice but to give up and stood aside watching Lin Xiao and the others' actions.
Everyone came to the middle level of the rocket launch pad.
The satellite module is loaded here.
I saw Mr. Deng find a circuit board from the complicated circuits, cover it with the black sheet in his hand, and press it hard.
After doing all this.
Deng Lao: “Huh~ all right!”
Wang Fuyong's eyes widened: "Is that all?"
"This little gadget can resist super-solar radiation. You know, that's electromagnetic radiation, which can affect almost all communication equipment."
Lin Xiao laughed dryly on the side without further explanation.
When they came, they did a set of simple experiments.
On the transport plane, Lin Xiao asked everyone to take out their cell phones.
The cell phone signals above are all showing full bars.
However, as long as the military signal jammer on the transport plane is turned on.
Even the signal of the most advanced Warwick mobile phone has become xx, not to mention the bombardment of the Berry Country.
However, when Lin Xiao wrapped the Mozi sheet around the antenna of the mobile phone.
The miracle happened!
"Full signal!"
His cell phone was not affected by the jammer at all.
When the Mozi film was removed, the signal suddenly became worse until it turned into a cross.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiao's phone from left to right, puzzled.
The principles here are extremely complicated, and the materials science involved is also extremely advanced.
Lin Xiao did not explain further.
As long as Mozi materials are useful, it’s fine!
···
It took several hours to reinstall the satellite's components and close the rocket's hatch.
Although the window has passed and another launch will cost millions more, it's all worth it.
Chief Engineer Wang Fuyong started the launch countdown with a walkie-talkie.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"ignition!"
"boom!"
An ordinary rocket burst into flames and slowly rose into the air.
The wine market has launched thousands of launch vehicles, so there are no technical difficulties.
A few hours later.
The satellite successfully reached its predicted orbit in space and continued to make slight adjustments.
Along with the start order issued from the ground command center.
moment.
This ordinary communications satellite began to take on a new mission.
One satellite is far from enough to cover the vast territory of Xia State. At least four satellites are needed to cover the entire territory of Xia State.
To cover the entire blue planet, at least twenty-four satellites are needed.
Therefore, the launch missions here will be extremely frequent in the next few days.
···
The vast majority of the people in Xia State knew nothing about this.
These days, they are in contact with relatives and friends.
Make calls one by one.
Old friends I haven't contacted for many years talked on the phone for hours;
A couple who hadn't seen each other for years started chatting on the phone;
Some transnational friends are saying goodbye to each other;
I don’t know when we got in touch again.
···
In the major state-owned material factories of Xia State, people are working overtime to produce "Mozi".
"Comrades, please work overtime tonight to ensure that the Mozi that the country needs is completed with guaranteed quality and quantity!"
"We must carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or fatigue, and we must complete our goals ahead of schedule!"
The factory director held a loudspeaker and cheered on the workers on each assembly line.
"Got it, Director. Even if you didn't say anything, we would all stay and work overtime on our own initiative."
"That's right, triple the salary. Anyone who doesn't stay is a fool!"
"Hey, Xiao Liu, I originally thought you were someone who would not bow down for money, but I didn't expect that you would stay and work for this little bit of money."
"Brother Yong, I am forced to do this because of my life. Working overtime is really nice, isn't it?"
"···"
The workers rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, determined not to give up until the goal was achieved.
Such scenes are still being played out in major factories.
March 6, 9:00 a.m.
There is still one hour before the solar storm officially arrives.
