Chapter 839 Stud is a kind of wisdom (third update, please subscribe)
An unprecedented competition has just begun. No matter how future generations evaluate it, space has now become a matter of national concern. Things of glory and national dignity.
Unlike other countries, Nanyang is the earliest proposer of entering space. In the past few months, the hottest topic in Nanyang is space. As the first country to sound the clarion call to enter space, now that someone else has taken the lead, I naturally feel very uncomfortable.
But although most Nanyang people feel disappointed, apart from disappointment, they are more excited. After all, the achievements of the Soviets have proved one thing-it is possible to enter space.
And the success of "Sputnik-1", in the eyes of many Nanyang people, is definitely the most remarkable achievement they know, even if it is achieved by foreigners!
But despite the excitement, everyone is also asking a question - where is our satellite?
In the face of doubts from the outside world, under the instruction of Li Yi'an, the spokesperson of the official residence told the outside world that relevant questions will be answered by the Nanyang Aeronautics and Space Administration at a press conference soon.
Nanyang Aeronautics and Space Administration?
When was this established?
What kind of organization is it?
Of course, it is an administrative scientific research institution, responsible for formulating and implementing Nanyang's space program, and conducting research on aviation science and space science.
"It has not been established yet, but it will be established in the next few days."
You can ignore the doubts from the outside world, but when faced with his son's inquiry, Li Yian answered simply. Now Yuan Jialiu They are designing new scientific exploration satellites. Not only do they have to design new satellites, they also need to modify the rockets.
"Then our satellite will go into space soon!"
Li Yixuan looked at his father excitedly.
Li Yian looked very calm and said to his son's inquiry. .
“Actually, our space program should be said to be ahead of the Russians. If we are willing, we can use the "Wanhu Type 4 missile" to launch satellites as early as last year...the kind that the Russians use , there is no problem at all launching a satellite with only one radio signal into space..."
Of course there is no problem. In terms of launch height, the "Wanhu Type 4 missile" can completely launch dozens of Small satellites weighing several kilograms are sent into space, and the success rate is very high.
“Then why don’t we launch?”
“This is politics!”
Margaret on the side explained for her husband that Li Yi'an had discussed this issue with her before, so she naturally knew what his concerns were.
What is more accurate is his purpose.
"Now is the era of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Nanyang is not suitable for the limelight. If you read the newspapers, what kind of reaction is there in the United States now? It is very manic."
Li Yixuan looked at his mother confused, and Li Yiyang was probably the same. At their age, they obviously cannot understand what it means to be the first to win. In the competition between countries, it is extremely necessary to hide one's clumsiness appropriately. Just like Japan in another world, the buy-buy-buy model is launched in the United States. , it had actually laid the groundwork for Japan's decline.
Experience tells Li Yi'an that competition between countries requires patience and time.
Although it is indeed a pity to miss mankind's first artificial satellite, and now it is necessary to make up for it, from a political level, it is extremely necessary.
After all, Nanyang is not strong enough, and the United States still needs to pay for the milk powder of Nanyang children. No matter what, let them pay for another ten years! That's hundreds of millions of dollars in aid a year, almost 1% of Nanyang's GDP!
For a few dollars of milk powder every year... this is too clumsy to hide!
After all, Nanyang’s rocket plan’s annual expenditure cannot keep up with the money for milk powder. It is definitely a big advantage to get in and out!
“This is one consideration, but what do I think? The most important thing is the purpose. We will hold the Olympic Games in 6 years’ time. In order to allow the world to receive the signals of the Olympic Games, the games will be broadcast from time to time. , we need communication satellites.”
Li Yian then explained to his wife and children what a communication satellite is and its role.
“...Because the design of the satellite is too complicated and the weight is too heavy, we have not launched that simple satellite. That kind of satellite is actually a mobile radio signal transmitter. In addition to being in the limelight Nothing else makes any sense." Listening to her husband's explanation, Margaret asked,
"When will we launch our satellite?"< br>
“Just recently, we are currently designing new satellites.”
Li Yian replied.
“A scientific exploration satellite, which is completely different from the satellites launched by the Soviets that only emit radio signals. It will allow us to understand the earth from a deeper level.”
“Dad , are you saying that the satellites we will launch in the future will be more advanced?"
Nodding, Li Yian said.
“Yes, our satellites are more advanced! There is no doubt about that!”
In fact, it's a pity when you think about it. Originally, Nanyang could have made a big splash in the world - as soon as it launched the communication satellite into space, through satellite broadcast, the whole world could watch it within a few minutes of the launch. After that, you can see the broadcast of the rocket launch. Now... we can only wait and launch a scientific exploration satellite first.
Scientific exploration satellites obviously cannot relay television signals. But such scientific exploration is also extremely necessary. After all, exploring space itself is a kind of scientific exploration. Being able to make some scientific discoveries also promotes the overall space industry.
Some things cannot be measured by money.
Just like the space exploration between the United States and the Soviet Union when the United States and the Soviet Union were the sole hegemons.
“We will launch as soon as possible after the technical problems of the satellite are solved. At that time, you can also go to the launch site to visit the launch.”
Long before the Soviet Union launched the satellite, Li Yian had already made a choice. He had a good mentality. What was the use of competing for the title of world number one?
Follow the plan step by step.
Step by step, use the Soviet Union to stimulate the United States to put itself on the gambling table, and then stud the "space race". If they don't stud, if they don't spend hundreds of billions on the space industry, then what? What about promoting the advancement of human technology?
Although Li Yian can smuggle technology over, the smuggled technology is only part of it. If you want to promote the progress of the system, you need the power of the system. This is the weakness of Nanyang, but it is the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union. .
So, no matter what, they need to stud in space on the new track. If they are not willing to stud, then find a way to let them stud.
After all, stud is a form of wisdom!
As for going to the rooftop, I still smoke cigars.
Then we can only settle down to our destiny.
After all, they are the ones doing the stud.
It’s not Nanyang Stud. Nanyang just needs to follow the path pointed out by Li Yi’an.
As for the United States, the Soviet Union... If you have to die, it will be a matter for one of the two of them.
One whale falls and all things come into being. Nanyang can still benefit.
In short, no matter whether they win or lose, there is no harm to Nanyang. At least they can use their huge size and experiments to explore a path for mankind.
