Chapter 1199 Sudden (first update, please subscribe)
On October 25, Yongan Gold Exchange began to sell gold.
The selling volume of gold reached 150 tons on the first day. Faced with such selling, the international market naturally absorbed it directly. However, what the international financial capital did not expect was that on the same day, all over the world, Central banks in more than a dozen countries including the United States, Southeast Asia, and the United Kingdom are selling gold.
The originally high momentum was immediately broken. Over the next more than a month, the price of gold continued to fall. Finally, on New Year’s Eve, it fell to the official price of US$35.2 per ounce. This rush to buy gold Some people cry and some laugh, but it is not enough for someone to jump off the building. The biggest difference is that Nanyang's official gold reserves have exceeded 4,000 tons for the first time from 3,286 tons. The number of gold reserves in the world is second only to the United States.
But in any case, after this "gold rush", Yongan Stock Exchange finally completed its connection with New York and London. Although there is no such thing as an "international financial center" in this era, with the Over time, it will surely become the third largest financial center in the world.
This also means that Nanyang will become one of the international financial capital makers.
Of course, not many people are aware of this at this time. They don’t know that their lives and the future of Nanyang have already undergone some changes. After all, capital dominates the world, regardless of whether people Whether you agree or not is more or less affected by capital.
As Nanyang becomes an international financial capital banker, it is bound to change the way financial capital flows in the world, and this is bound to change the lives of many people.
For millions of ordinary Nanyang people For the most part, they were just living their lives and doing their jobs as usual.
Time flies so fast. The Olympic craze has faded away, the rush to buy gold has ended, and the new year has arrived.
Although it is the New Year, there is not much New Year's joy in Nanyang. Compared with previous years, the atmosphere is much worse, and there is even a slight heaviness in the air.
This heavy atmosphere is due to news reports from far away, which spread words such as famine and long-lost words to Nanyang people through various channels. Naturally, many people felt quite heavy, and various donation activities from private to official organizations were launched accordingly.
This New Year seems to be different from previous years.
However, no matter what, people still have to continue to live and work.
Like many people, when passing by the relief fund-raising point near the subway station, Shu Chuanbao stuffed a few dollars into the donation box, then entered the subway station and rushed to his destination by taking the subway. , he was still calculating something in his mind.
Although there are electronic computers in universities and research institutes, Shu Chuanbao has developed a habit over the years to do some calculations whenever he has time.
Just like this, I rode the subway and quickly arrived at my destination. After walking out of the station and walking for ten minutes, Shu Chuanbao entered the Naval Technology Research Institute,
On the runway of the institute's airport, dozens of technicians are surrounding an aircraft with a large disk on top, preparing something there. What if this has technology from the American Northrop Grumman Company? If the personnel were here, they would definitely be shocked - how did the E2 early warning aircraft they are developing get here?
This early warning aircraft is not the American E2, but the structure of the two is somewhat similar. Even the engine is the same model of Allison T56A turboprop engine - this engine is also used in the C130 Transport aircraft, for reasons of simplifying logistics, use the same engine.
The only difference is that its fuselage is designed by Nanyang Aviation Industries, but it is similar to the E2. Sometimes, aerodynamics is like this, and some coincidences always happen inadvertently. It is not that who plagiarizes whom, it is an inevitable necessity of scientific research.
Standing next to the plane and looking at the large disk on the back of the plane, Shu Chuanbao, a well-known physicist in Nanyang, asked:
"How is it? Can we do a test flight today?"< br>
The reason why he cares so much is not only because this Doppler radar embodies his efforts, but more importantly, he knows that Doppler radar can play an extremely important role in various fields. Including meteorological satellites and other fields.
In fact, Shu Chuanbao originally developed the Doppler radar for meteorological surveillance. Although the detector he developed a few years ago was launched into space through the "Federal Cooperation No. 1" and the "Zhu Chuanbao" was launched. Radiation Belts", but he did not stop there and started studying Doppler radar.
Just when Shu Chuanbao’s research achieved certain results, the military came to the door. As soon as the two parties communicated, he found that the military had gone further and the research results were more outstanding, so they started cooperation. .
The military is researching Doppler radar for use in early warning aircraft. Without an early warning aircraft, an aircraft carrier is almost like a blind man. Although there is less clutter at sea and is not as full of complex terrain as on land, where there is clutter everywhere, Shipborne early warning aircraft cannot just stare at the sea forever.
In this case, the military needs a more advanced early warning aircraft, which is Doppler radar, which can be separated from clutter in the Doppler domain. This property can be used to design filters to eliminate clutter. Waves also signal a fresh world.
After several years of hard work, they finally made corresponding progress.
"There is no problem with the test flight..."
Wan Changqing said with a smile:
"Professor Shu, the key is radar. In October last year, the Americans tested their new early warning aircraft. However, our understanding is that their aircraft still cannot handle ground clutter. According to our previous tests, our radar can effectively to deal with clutter, so in terms of performance, our aircraft must be more advanced.”
Although airborne radar has been tested before, everything is just paper before the actual test is carried out. surface data. Soon, amidst people's expectations, the early warning aircraft carrying a large plate took off with a roar. After the plane took off, not long after the plane took off, the radar observer discovered the target - an aircraft flying low on the sea. Flying fighter jet.
“It’s not the key now. The key is to wait until the plane reaches land and continue to track him.”
Not long after Shu Chuanbao’s words fell, the simulation The plane entered the land sky, first at high altitude, and then at low altitude. However, the radar of the early warning aircraft could always track it and received the location information from the sky. The ground was full of joy, although there was still some clutter. But this radar is undoubtedly reliable and can filter out most ground clutter.
Soon, the news of the successful development of the early warning aircraft was reported to Li Yian. Faced with this news, Li Yian did not appear too excited. Such a result had long been expected by him.
After all, he had given certain technical guidance on the appearance of the Doppler radar, so it was only natural that he could make such progress.
Having an early warning aircraft using Doppler radar means that Nanyang is fully ahead in radar technology. This technology can be fully applied in other fields, thereby improving Nanyang's military technology level.
“Well, the era of science and technology and military affairs has arrived.”
The reason why he made this sigh is because Li Yian knows very well that in the next ten years, military science and technology will have a great impact on The improvement of combat effectiveness is like two completely different eras. In that era, technology decided everything.
Just like the well-known Gulf War, although the impact of that war on the military field around the world was unprecedented, in fact the technical level of the Gulf War was probably the level of the 1980s, and even a considerable part of the technology was the level of the 1970s. .
However, the comprehensive application of various new technologies has brought unprecedented impact to the world.
Now, this is just the beginning...
“What should be the next step?”
Looking at the report in his hand, Li Yian didn’t even raise his head. Write on notepad:
"Satellite positioning! Yes, this is it..."
In fact, Nanyang began to conduct research on satellite positioning as early as two years ago. At the beginning, the research direction was the same as the American meridian system. Although in theory, it can meet the needs of basic positioning, from the perspective of future development Look, it will eventually be replaced by GPS. Therefore, two years ago, Li Yian gave a new direction-using time measurement, in the star-ground coordinate system built by navigation satellites, each constellation has its own Coordinate information, by measuring the distance between ourselves and the constellation, we can calculate our position in the coordinate system. Under the premise that the signal propagation speed is known, the more precise the time measurement is, the more accurate the position solution will be.
This is the principle direction of GPS. Fundamentally, navigation is all about time measurement. "
In this kind of navigation satellite, the atomic clock is the "heart" of the navigation satellite. Although the atomic clock has been invented more than ten years ago, it is not easy to send the atomic clock into space.
So, until now, many research institutions in Nanyang are conducting research in this area
"I hope we can make a breakthrough as soon as possible."
Muttering to himself, Li Yian simply wrote down several research directions, which will eventually be sent to the King's Laboratory for research. Then we cooperate with experts and scholars in related fields. In the past few years, through such cooperation, Nanyang's scientific and technological research and development has made great progress. These progress are extremely amazing.
Just last month, Nanyang laid the first experimental optical fiber in Chang'an University.
Optical fiber, Internet, GPS... and so on. Thinking about the progress Nanyang has made in the field of technology in the past few years, Li Yian felt quite proud. He took out a cigar from the cigarette case, lit it and took a puff. , and then stood up again, pacing in the office while thinking:
"That's the thing, as long as they are given some directional guidance, they can always surprise themselves with their intelligence. , and such a surprise will eventually change everything.”
Just like that, Li Yi'an, who was standing by the window, stared at the night sky outside the window. The sky was full of stars. There should be countless people looking up at the stars at this moment!
While looking up at the starry sky, Li Yian thought of the stars in Nanyang. Those stars are bound to change the entire Nanyang, and even the whole world!
At this moment, the study door was pushed in, and Du Lunfei, the military liaison officer of the office, walked in. He first stood at attention and saluted, and then said:
"Your Excellency, Something happened!”
