The Soviet Union was the country that launched the first artificial earth satellite and the country that launched the most spacecraft.

One-quarter of the scientific researchers in the modern scientific and technological world with highly developed scientific Bolshevism = the great and magical Soviet Union.

Kazakhstan, Baikonur Space Center.

The spacecraft launch site and missile test base built by the former Soviet Union are located in the southwest of central Kazakhstan and were built in the 1950s.

It has 13 launch pads that can launch manned spacecraft, large launch vehicles, space shuttles and various missiles.

It successfully launched the world's first artificial earth satellite and the first manned spacecraft.

Baikonur Space Center is the starting point for mankind’s dream of flying into space.

In this desert, Soviet astronauts have created countless world firsts.

However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Baikonur is used by Kazakhstan, but the country has financial difficulties and cannot afford such a huge space launch center.

Its glory came to an abrupt end, and a large number of experts and technicians left the place where they had worked hard for most of their lives.

Among them, the famous Buran space shuttle is a typical representative of Baikonur's decline. As a former pride of the Soviet Union, it was even superior to Uncle Sam's space shuttle in many technical aspects.

But the space shuttle made only its only unmanned space flight before it was launched due to funding shortages and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The project was abandoned and buried in Baikonur.

There is still more than a year left until the Soviet Union collapses.

When Chu Zihang came here, he could see from every detail that the entire Baikonur was in decline.

Along the way, the scenes I saw were all full of depression.

The doormen guarding the place were listless and gathered together to play cards.

Entering the launch center, I saw few people on the road.

Back then, aerospace elites from all over the Soviet Union gathered here and became a world-famous aerospace city.

There are basically groups of technicians and experts discussing technical issues on the road.

Nowadays, the entire space city is like a ghost land.

"Yuri, you have also seen that this place has become a forgotten place in the Soviet Union."

"Even with just a hundred meters, you can get the most powerful aerospace experts or technicians ever."

In the jeep.

Vladimir pointed to the depressed Baikonur Space Center and sighed sadly.

"I only care about whether it can be launched?" Chu Zihang said, looking at the empty space center.

"Launching should be no problem, but aviation fuel is a problem." Vladimir said.

"How much do you need? I'll get it." Chu Zihang frowned and said.

"I don't know the exact amount. Let's go meet the head of the space center, Admiral Makarov."

"Alright."

…

The two jeeps drove for a while and stopped in front of a building.

The whole building looks a bit dilapidated.

It’s hard to imagine that this was once the world’s number one space center and the birthplace of human exploration of space.

As soon as Chu Zihang, Vladimir and others got off the bus, they saw a bearded old man wearing a military coat standing at the foot of the steps. He had been waiting for a long time.

This bearded old man with a red nose looks like a circus clown.

In fact, it is rosacea, and only people who drink regularly have it.

"Little Vladimir, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you think of me, a place where you don't shit?"

"Also...this young Chinese is the international arms dealer you mentioned?"

The bearded old man came over and first gave Vladimir a Soviet-style bear hug.

Then, he looked at Chu Zihang standing aside.

"General Makarov, nice to meet you." Chu Zihang felt the gaze and immediately smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, young man."

Makarov shook hands with him, but his expression was not particularly enthusiastic.

Chu Zihang didn't care, everyone would do this before seeing substantial benefits.

As long as you spend enough money, the other party will be as enthusiastic as a pug.

Is it realistic?

Yes, it is so realistic when it comes to money.

The world is one where interests come first.

In order to help Chu Zihang achieve his goal, Vladimir found a topic and said as an introduction: "Uncle, I heard from aunt that you have been having a hard time recently?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Those high-level officials in Red Square have their heads in their butts and they actually want to abandon the Baikonur launch center."

Makarov showed an angry look on his face, wishing he could go to the Red Square of the capital to beat up those high-ranking officials.

Chu Zihang on the other side had a strange look on his face. What did Vladimir call Makarov?

uncle?!

Digging and co-writing are all part of the same family?

Which big family in Russia is this Vladimir's family from the previous life?

Could it be...

Suddenly!

Chu Zihang thought of something, but it felt a little impossible.

But when I think about it, there are many things in this world that are more outrageous and coincidental than those in novels, movies and TV series.

For example, on the cx battlefield that year, at the scene of the most intense conflict between different civilizations, a high-level competition that highly reflected the core values ​​of the Olympics and world peace was successfully held.

The degree of absurdity may not be seen in the most outrageous novels, but the Chinese people just handled it for him so logically.

Regardless of whether Westerners can do it or not, it is extremely difficult for Westerners to imagine it.

First of all, you have to ensure that so many countries can attack you. Secondly, you have to ensure that so many countries cannot defeat you even if they are bundled together. Finally, you have to make them convinced by your strong and inclusive cultural core. It is recognized that you should be their judge.

.

Good guy, this is even more outrageous than gathering all the Dragon Balls to summon a divine dragon.

So it's really possible that it's him...

After all, there are only a few people with Vladimir in their surname.

He couldn't think of anyone other than the driver of the black car.

But my family is good and my acquaintances are easy to do things with.

Then, Chu Zihang listened to Makarov dragging Vladimir and talking there for a long time.

He didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

During this period, Chu Zihang probably also understood what it meant. It was nothing more than giving up the Baikonur launch center and classifying it as Kazakhstan.

The ongoing Buran plan has also been suspended, and the second Buran is almost completed.

Of course Makarov is not willing to give up now.

How many people’s efforts have been spent, and who is willing to give up?

…

A few minutes later.

After venting his anger, Makarov glanced at Chu Zihang and said in front of him without any concealment: "Vlamykir, do you think this Chinese wants to use our rocket to launch a satellite?"

"Uncle, yes, the price is easy to talk about." Vladimir smiled and said.

"The launch is no problem, but it's a pity that the combined fuel is lacking. It takes at least 5 tons to launch a satellite rocket." Makarov's words were obviously meant for Chu Zihang.

Hear this.

Chu Zihang smiled slightly and said confidently: "General, there is no problem with the fuel. I can get it for you."

"Even a large launch vehicle requires 411,000 kilograms of combined fuel."

There are three types of fuel generally used in rockets, kerosene, liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The fuels are divided into liquid rocket fuel and solid rocket fuel.

The fuel used to launch a large launch vehicle is a combination of solid and liquid fuel, and the fuel weight is 411,000 kilograms.

As for satellites, you don’t need so many.
