Chapter 251: One small step for a rocket, one giant leap for civilization(2/3)
Leaders in previous lives also worked at the grassroots level to eat from the big pot with the people." However, Zhang Shusheng didn't know what their mood was like, what was behind their plain clothes and their warm greetings, what was behind their warm greetings?
What happened to the family behind him, but Zhang Shusheng knew that he didn't have any pretense or show off, it just came from the heart.
As a leader, he is destined not to be close to every ordinary person, nor to perform everywhere all day long. However, he can do it more naturally and self-sufficiently if possible.
After lunch, Zhang Shusheng personally visited the staff who stayed on the front line and even relied on packed lunches for lunch.
The base's rocket launch has entered a countdown.
At the Jiuquan Launch Command Center, Zhang Shusheng asked Wu Anbang, the base director on the side, "Are you ready?"
Wu Anbang: "Report to the Chairman, everything has been prepared."
Zhang Shusheng nodded and simply ordered: "Then let's get started."
At the front of the main podium in the command center is a large row of black and white monitors mounted on the wall. All the images inside are from the launch center, the No. 1 launch platform.
What will be launched this time are two Dongfang rockets, one is experimental and the other is real.
In fact, thousands of workers at the Rocket Research Center have already conducted several verification rocket launches, from the initial 11-kilometer rocket to the subsequent 55-kilometer rocket and the 150-kilometer rocket.
, 350-kilometer-class rocket, until this finalized Shenjian rocket has a range of 400 kilometers, is equipped with a second-generation rocket liquid propulsion engine and a second-generation gyroscope, and has a relatively
Reliable simple self-navigation system, inertial guidance system and radio wave guidance system, although the error range is so large that it is difficult to imagine the kilometer level, it is already a huge breakthrough.
Looking at the rocket being dragged into the launch site by a super-large heavy truck, Zhang Shusheng had the illusion that he had returned to the scene of a live broadcast of a rocket launch in later generations.
After more than 10 years of development, the performance of Dongfang, Xinghuo, etc. can be said to be advanced.
At present, only China and Germany have made huge breakthroughs in rocket technology in the world. China has even entered into medium-range rocket test launches, while the Germans are still stuck at verification tests at the level of tens of kilometers.
In terms of shooting work, there are too many problems that need to be solved.
What Zhang Shusheng was thinking about was what he had seen before coming here about the more than 10,000 V1 and V2 missiles (controllable flight rockets) that the Germans madly launched ten months before their surrender in 1944-1945. He had an illusion that if
If it were not for their own arrival, the Germans would still be led by time-travelers and make many unnatural acts, such as guided missiles, jet engines, atomic projects, and even crazier flying saucer fighter plans.
The scientific and technological strength of the Germans is by no means weak, and their scientific and technological ambitions are by no means small. This nation, full of scientific minds, will shine brightest in the Second World War.
You know, even though they are as powerful as the Americans, they also initiated nuclear weapons projects later than the Germans." The rocket industry was left far behind by the Germans.
Not to mention the Soviets. Although the Soviet Union also has strong scientific research capabilities, and the polar bears also have developed scientific minds, if they had not finally invaded Berlin and shared the German scientific heritage and their rockets with the Americans,
The development speed of their nuclear weapons and their jet fighters is definitely much slower.
Today, the Germans are still developing high technologies step by step, and the development speed is faster than in the original history. They have obtained more or less ideas from [China], such as rocket technology, from [China]
From the day rockets were used on the battlefield, the Germans were the first to notice the huge revolution that this small weapon could bring.
You know, at that time, the German rocket project had just been established. Many things were still in theoretical predictions. However, China's rocket that caused a small explosion on the battlefield against Japan caused a huge sensation in the German Rocket Research Center.
.
It can be said that throughout World War II, Britain and France were still taking the lead in sinking, and the United States continued to accumulate strength. "Japan" and the Soviet Union were catching up crazily, while the Germans were developing rapidly "freely". Only China was completely strategic.
The field is at the forefront.
While Westerners are discussing how to build larger battleships, China is designing new aircraft carriers.
When Westerners are discussing how to increase the range of artillery and increase the caliber of artillery to a few hundred mm, China has already established a rocket project.
While Westerners are enjoying Nobel's wealth and steadily developing the power of explosives, China's new explosives have been put into production for several years, and nuclear weapons projects have also been established for several years.
Walking in front of them, don't let [China] fall behind because of the backwardness of these countries. It has always been Zhang Shusheng's biggest dream to transform [China] with its own development. "[China] will never be because of the backwardness of these countries.
Weapons are enough, technology is enough, enough
To deal with those barbaric and tyrannical Westerners and stop the pace of development, what we need is to stand at the top of the earth's civilization, and we must launch a charge towards a higher civilization... The earth is just a development base, and China's future is determined.
It cannot be limited to the earth..."
This is Zhang Shusheng’s dream and decision!!
China's rocket technology, even the German rockets, are advanced. You must know that China in later generations only launched a test rocket with a range of 100 kilometers in Shanghai in 1960.
It took 10 years for the rocket to be launched. Of course, at that time
The main reason is that the conditions are extremely difficult. You must know that the scientific and technological conditions of China in later generations, even in the 1970s, may not necessarily exceed the conditions for the top scientific and technological research and development of the Republic today. Therefore, not only rockets, but also the Republic will have
More technologies achieve blowout.
When enough time is given to accumulate enough technology, when the investment is huge enough to generate technological life, when the technological talents cultivated are enough to detonate the technological blowout, the technological blowout will truly begin.
Judging from the data of the v2 missile, it can be regarded as an absolute missile prototype, with a range of more than 300 kilometers. Although the missile reaches several kilometers, it is already an absolutely accurate long-range weapon. The carrying head is also large enough to reach
It reached the level of 1 ton and ten.
He had seen the data of the Dongfang Type 1 in Hanking. The design of the one-piece head means that the head and the body are not separated when hitting the target. The length of the rocket is 135 meters, the diameter is 12 meters, and it has an effective range of 420 kilometers.
, the maximum flight speed is Mach 49, typical supersonic characteristics, the head load of 2 tons is within the effective range, and the theoretical error range is 1-10 kilometers. The main factor that affects this value is weather conditions.
According to China's first atomic "Emperor Jun, weighing nearly 4 tons", the load of the Dongfang-1 missile needs to be increased to accommodate the modified nuclear. However, Zhang Shusheng can't afford to wait at this time. Five months is not enough.
In just one year, China will definitely be ahead of everyone and perfectly combine the two best partners of the Rockets' ten cores.
In Zhang Shusheng's meditation, the command center has completed the final preparations, and the observation base stations along the way are also ready. The rocket landing point in the hinterland of the Xinjiang desert is also ready. As many as 11 radar stations along the way have been turned on at maximum power.
Monitor in sections and prepare to capture these two fastest guys in human history for the first time.
The entire command center staff felt the solemn atmosphere, including Zhang Shusheng himself. "This is the most top-secret rocket plan. He is the only one in charge of the entire Republic. Even the Minister of Defense and the Chief of General Staff do not know about this plan.
He knew the code name of this plan. And this time, he was the only one who came to inspect the rocket test with He Ning alone.
For the sake of the rise of the nation, Zhang Shusheng is not afraid of hardship or fatigue." However, secrets must not be leaked due to human factors.
"Reporting to the chairman of the committee, all preparations for the launch of the Dongfang-1 rocket have been completed. All observation stations and radar stations are working normally, and preparations for the landing point are complete."
Zhang Shusheng raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already 3:15 in the afternoon. He remembered this moment, stood up, saluted the Dongfang-1 rocket on the screen, and softly uttered a few words:
"Let's get started!"
Wu Anbang saluted, walked to the microphone, and ordered: "Start!"
Then "a loud countdown sound came from the command center radio, l, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, ignition... launch!"
"At this most critical moment," except for the staff who had to stick to their posts, they all looked nervously at the dozen display screens on the wall of the command center, looking at a dozen identical pictures.
On the screen, the tail of the first test rocket was the first to spurt out a huge flame. The rocket engine was successfully ignited. Later, the safety measures required for the first launch were lifted, and the rocket was already on the erected launch rail.
It has become an artifact of complete freedom.
When the command to launch was finally given, the last safety was lifted, and the rocket slowly rose along the guide rail. In the blink of an eye, the speed became faster and faster, and finally broke out of the height of the guide rail and took off.
.
"Pa bang bang..."
"Long live!!"
"Long live the Chairman!!"
"Long live the Eastern Type 1!!"
Everyone is cheering. The rocket can be successfully launched into the sky. The entire launch test is already half completed. As long as it can hit the target, it will be considered a success.
You must know that this model was finalized after repeated demonstrations and many tests, but it can carry a high-explosive head weighing up to 100%. As long as the second one can really hit the target, it will explode when the final detonation safety is lifted.
.
Zhang Shusheng stood up and took the lead in applauding. It took a long time for the applause to slowly subside. "Congratulations to everyone, half of the launch mission has been completed. Next, I will be here with everyone, waiting for the last moment to come."
, I hope everyone will stick to their last post and make statistics on the rocket flight and other summary information. After the launch is successful, I will hold a celebration meeting with everyone."
The first radar station five kilometers away from the launch site waited nervously and finally made a discovery.
"Webmaster, found the target."
Radar soldier Xu Jingsan reported loudly to the radar station manager who was waiting nervously next to him. He saw a cursor on the radar screen flying rapidly across the radar warning area.
“It’s too fast!!”
Although they had known that this was a launch test of a new type of weapon, the personnel at the radar station were still extremely shocked. Compared with ordinary aircraft that can fly at hundreds of kilometers, the flying speed of this new weapon is already shockingly fast.
It's jaw-dropping, especially for these radar soldiers, who deal with radar every day and know what this means.
It is fast and indestructible. No matter what kind of aircraft can reach this speed, it is a nightmare for the enemy.
The stationmaster excitedly ordered, "Record its flight attitude and flight data, increase the power and continue tracking."
Soon, when the rocket flew to a higher altitude, it finally flew out of the monitoring altitude range of the radar station. However, these eleven radar stations are the latest radars, which are expensive to build. The monitoring effect is also better. As long as Dongfang One
After the model descends from its maximum altitude, the new radar can detect it.
"Reporting that the rocket has re-entered the monitoring range, the rocket is flying normally and is expected to hit the intended target in 45 seconds."
Soon, the information was transmitted to the command headquarters. The application of computers made the calculations of these complex ratios simpler. Because the detailed parameters of the rocket and the intended flight trajectory were known, the Jiuquan base command and control center with high-performance computers could
The result was quickly calculated.
The flight speed of the rocket is so fast. The distance of more than 400 kilometers, compared with its average speed of about one kilometer per second, is almost as close as the real world.
"Continue to monitor and let the units near the impact point do a good job of observation and monitoring. The working group is preparing to recover the rocket." Jiao Shengqing quickly issued the order. This test will record the most precious experimental data and will be recovered as soon as possible.
And the second one is the real thing.
To be continued...
