Chapter 287 They are a bunch of annoying poor creatures

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "We don't believe in evil!"

"Leader, I suggest that we have a major battle for the global satellite navigation system!"

"We will strive to build a global satellite navigation system within the next three years! We will also invite countries around the world to participate so that this system can continue to enrich the world."

"Of course, when we work with other countries, we can also make our system the only satellite navigation system in the world."

The leader smiled and nodded and said, "Well said!"

"In the past, the world order was almost entirely established by the Lizardmen."

"Now, we also have to try to transform it."

"Then take action!"

……

Wang Haoran was quite busy in the following period of time.

This global satellite navigation system battle has mobilized all relevant colleges and universities and scientific research institutions across the country to participate.

Thousands of scientists participated.

And Wang Haoran naturally has to do a good job in organization and coordination.

He has to break down the tasks, provide research methods and directions, and help solve difficult problems.

Because, if you want to produce results quickly, the scientists participating in the battle must have clear research ideas and methods.

If you let people figure it out on their own, a lot of time will be wasted.

Take the development of the Beidou atomic clock in the past as an example. It took several years to finally complete it.

But now, under the guidance of Wang Haoran, there are ready-made technical solutions for rubidium spectral lamps and microwave cavities, and all we have to do is follow the instructions.

Then, the development of a rubidium atomic clock can be completed within a few days.

In fact, the recipient of the task just has to do it according to Wang Haoran’s ideas and put them into practice in reality.

However, to be honest, even Wang Haoran explained the hydrogen-oxygen engine clearly in his report.

But if you want to achieve it, it will take some effort.

After all, the processing of fine craftsmanship involves not only technical factors but also human factors.

Precision machinery often cannot be separated from human experience.

Every component on the engine needs to be crafted and designed very carefully.

After it's done, you still have to do testing.

The requirements for each step of the test are very rigorous.

And the risk factor of the test is extremely high.

Even with Wang Haoran's guidance, the development of the hydrogen-oxygen engine took more than three months to complete, and it was also successfully tested.

Moreover, the test should not be done just once, but repeatedly, taking all possible situations into consideration.

After the engine is completed, the new launch vehicle will be ready.

The development of navigation satellites is relatively simple.

By August 1984, three types of navigation satellites had been finalized.

A new heavy-lift launch vehicle has also been developed.

This new carrier rocket is named Long March 5 and is specifically designed to launch geostationary orbit synchronous satellites.

According to the test results, the maximum carrying capacity of the Long March 12 in geosynchronous orbit can reach as much as tons.

This can be considered a standard heavy-lift launch vehicle.

Of course, it can't compare with Squidward's Saturn V and Big Bear's Energia launch vehicle.

According to Squid's own boasting, their Saturn V's far-Earth transport capacity can reach 88 tons and its near-Earth transport capacity can reach 140 tons.

The maximum long-distance carrying capacity of the Energia carrier rocket of the Big Bear can reach 120 tons.

Of course, the huge carrying capacity of their rockets is achieved by piling up engines.

The Big Bear's N-1 rocket used 43 engines and was said to have a designed thrust of more than 4000 tons, with a lunar orbital carrying capacity of more than 23 tons.

But this rocket was tested several times and all of them exploded.

It is not easy to coordinate dozens of engines, which requires advanced chips and control software.

Big Bear has none of these.

They can only import it secretly from the Lizard Kingdom.

As a result, they were plotted against.

In comparison, the Long March 12 uses 8 engines, 4 liquid oxygen-kerosene engines and 12 hydrogen-oxygen engines, to achieve a maximum carrying capacity of more than tons in geosynchronous orbit, which is already remarkable.

In August 1984, after four months of hard work, all technical and material preparations for the global satellite navigation system had been completed.

Now, everything is ready and all we need is the east wind.

According to Wang Haoran's idea, he would first launch three geosynchronous satellites to form a regional navigation network for experimental use.

Then, based on these three satellites, we will gradually improve and expand them and complete the Beidou satellite navigation system within two to three years.

Of course, satellites have a lifespan.

Even after the navigation system is built, it is necessary to launch a satellite from time to time to fill the gap.

Generally speaking, if a satellite's protection system is not well-designed, it may die within three to five years.

Like the navigation test satellite launched by us before, its lifespan is basically only one or two years.

Because, with the rapid temperature changes in space, the materials on the satellite age extremely quickly.

For example, on the side facing the sun, the temperature of the satellite may reach over 200 degrees, while on the side facing away from the sun, the temperature may drop to below minus degrees.

At a temperature of more than 200 degrees below zero, even the best alloy can easily become brittle and then corroded.

If you don't take protective measures, the satellite will probably go on strike soon and become useless.

These are all lessons learned from the past.

The manufacturing cost of a navigation satellite is several million or even tens of millions.

If such an expensive satellite can only be used for one or two years, it would be a huge loss.

Therefore, the navigation satellite designed under the leadership of Wang Haoran has put a lot of effort into the protection measures against the harsh environment of space.

They used the best thermal control coatings, wrapped it with insulation materials, and designed a fluid circuit system to keep the entire satellite in a constant temperature state, so that the satellite can be in a relatively good working environment.

In this way, the satellite can extend its life and increase its service life a lot.

The satellite designed by Wang Haoran has a design life of 12 years.

The satellites built by the team are also verified and tested in artificial harsh environments.

The test results show that the protective measures still play a very good role.

The launch of the first navigation satellite was put on the agenda.

Under Wang Haoran's strong advocacy, this first launch will be carried out using a one-rocket, multiple-satellite approach.

The Long March 5 rocket launched three geosynchronous navigation satellites into the transfer orbit at one time.

After the satellite reaches the geosynchronous orbit through orbit change, it will undergo a second orbit change to reach the geosynchronous circular orbit.

Here, according to Wang Haoran’s design, one of the satellites will have to change its orbit again and enter the Earth’s inclined synchronous circular orbit.

In this way, the two satellites are in geostationary synchronous orbit, that is, above the equator.

The third satellite has a slight inclination angle, which creates a triangulated positioning situation.

In this way, navigation and positioning can be achieved. Wang Haoran's design is obviously a bit unconventional.

This design has never appeared in Lizard Fang.

The GPS that Squid is currently working on has not developed such a theory.

After a long period of practical exploration and research, their scientists have now sorted out a set of theories. They believe that in order to realize global satellite navigation, 24 satellites must be launched. Only with 24 satellites can the network be successfully established.

Wang Haoran's theory has already parted ways with theirs.

The first launch is scheduled for around November 11th.

This launch was also scheduled at the Xichang Launch Center.

In fact, when Longguo scientists were first preparing to build a new launch site, they hoped to locate it on the South Island.

After all, it's closer to the equator.

The closer to the equator, the more fuel is saved during launch, and the rocket can carry more payload.

However, our navy was not strong enough at that time, and there was constant harassment from outside.

In the end, the construction of the South Island launch site was abandoned.

However, by 1984, with the rapid increase of our naval and air forces, some of the villains had actually been pushed quite far away.

Under the leadership of Wang Haoran and Qian Lao, the construction of the Nandao Launch Site began in early 84.

It is estimated that it will take one to two years to complete.

Time flies, and November 1984 soon arrived.

The launch vehicles and satellites were transported to Xichang one after another.

Here the rocket will be assembled and undergo final testing.

If everything goes well in the end, the rocket will be launched as scheduled.

Brother Long will naturally not publicize the first launch of the Beidou satellite.

Because we always do first and talk later.

Or even if they did it, they might not tell you about it.

As for the Squids, no matter what they do, as soon as they come up with a plan, they start making a fuss about it and let the whole world know about it.

They hope to gain the respect of people around the world by promoting their advanced scientific research programs.

Unfortunately, they often say something but don’t do it, or they talk for a long time but do a very poor job when they do it.

To be honest, they are really good at manipulating public opinion and propaganda.

However, they are really not down-to-earth in doing things.

The fact that Longguo wants to develop its own satellite navigation system, although Brother Long has never publicized it and has only revealed a few glimpses of it at most, has still attracted the attention of Yusa, Daxiong and others.

Moreover, in the media, related reports have been flying all over the place.

However, what they have been hyping and discussing over and over in the media is actually just one theme: Brother Long simply can't do it, because Brother Long doesn't have the technology, because the global satellite navigation system, this is Zenith technology!

How is Brother Long able to handle such advanced technology?
This is absolutely impossible.

Their media coverage has seen a surge since November.

Many experts have come forward, and everyone is writing columns and doing analysis.

Anyway, no matter how you analyze it, the final conclusion is that China will lose.

Even NASA's senior expert Foxon wrote in the New York Times: Brother Long will present a brilliant fireworks show to the world on November 11!

Foxen believed that because Long Ge’s first navigation satellite launch used a hydrogen-oxygen engine, it would definitely explode!

"We have been working on this for 10 years and have only come up with a little progress, and they actually think they can get satellite navigation done in a few months. This is really overestimating their own abilities!"

"I'm not saying this, but in the field of aerospace, Brother Long is at least 20 years behind us!"

“They can’t make up for this gap.”

"My advice to Brother Long is: don't study satellite navigation systems. You don't have the ability to do that. You're just wasting your energy!"

Foxen is the director of NASA and an authority in the world's aerospace field.

His article was widely reprinted by media around the world.

It can also be said that no one is optimistic about Brother Long’s launch this time.

However, there are people who think calmly.

For example, a reporter in Daxiong asked Andre, an expert from Daxiong Aviation Industry.

Andre said to the reporter: "I can say this, Foxon doesn't understand Brother Long at all!"

"Or maybe he knows about it, but in order to please the mob, he deliberately said that Brother Long's launch was useless!"

"Brother Long is very cautious and serious."

"They will only do something when they are sure that the success rate is over 90%!"

“When they start doing it, I would say they have a sure shot at success!”

"Just wait and see. Those who laugh the loudest now will definitely be slapped the hardest in the end! I hope they can still remain arrogant by then!"

"But I guess that after Brother Long succeeds, Mr. Foxon will definitely pretend that nothing happened."

"They are a group of strange people. They have no sense of morality at all."

Xichang.

Wang Haoran stood in front of the huge rocket that had been assembled.

Technicians are still conducting routine inspections of the rocket.

The satellite waiting to be launched is also undergoing final testing at the same time. After the testing is completed, the satellite will be loaded into the top of the rocket and protected by a fairing.

Of course, the rocket must be transported to the launch tower a few days before the launch. Under the protection of the launch tower, while continuing to monitor and make final launch preparations, we quietly wait for the launch time to come.

Zhang Mingxiang, head of the aviation industry department, stood next to Wang Haoran. He was also quite excited at the moment.

"Comrade Haoran, although we didn't publicize this launch, it seems that people all over the world already know about it!"

"There are a lot of articles and comments about our launch in the media."

“Almost all of them were mocking and criticizing.”

“They thought we were going to fail.”

"What do you think of this situation?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I noticed that too."

"They are a bunch of opportunists. Even though they have failed many times, they are still very arrogant."

"They think they still have the most advanced technology in the world."

“They simply don’t see each other as equals.”

"They only use smear campaigns, rumors and ridicule to try to disrupt their opponents' minds and achieve their own ulterior motives."

"To deal with these people, we just need to continue to succeed, and that will be enough to slap them in the face!"

"Comrade Mingxiang, just wait and see. After we succeed, their media will immediately go silent and no relevant content will appear. Or, they will write other people's victory as failure in order to soothe their own pitiful self-esteem!"

"I must say this: they are just a bunch of poor wretches!"

Zhang Mingxiang smiled and said, "I can tell that you are full of confidence in this launch."

Zhang Mingxiang couldn't help but use honorifics.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Because we have done everything we should do, our preparations are sufficient, and we have laid the foundation for success." (End of this chapter)
