February 1, 1986, was originally the first time in history that China successfully launched a communications and broadcasting satellite, marking the day when it mastered launch vehicle technology. However, due to Qi Yiming's troubles, in October last year, in order to cooperate with the launch of the satellite, it appeared in advance

Communications companies such as China Mobile are supported by technical personnel from the Red Alert Base. The Long March 4C medium-sized carrier rocket produced by the base has launched four communications satellites into the sky at once.

These four communication satellites involve satellite television services, maritime communications, mobile satellite communications and other fields. With the further development of civil aerospace in the future, more and more satellites of this type will be sent into space.

Just like the situation in the military industry, the aerospace industry is also subject to certain restrictions, but these restrictions vary depending on the situation. For example, the country still vigorously promotes civilian-use products such as communication and broadcasting satellites, or aerospace products that can ultimately make money.

Units like the Aviation Industry Group spent considerable energy on researching similar things. However, the great manned space project was still delayed indefinitely, and Qi Yiming could roughly understand the reason.

If you send a few communication satellites up, other countries won’t particularly care, because many countries in the world can do it. But if you send people into the sky, that’s a fundamental difference. The third country in the world can do it.

A country that has succeeded in manned spaceflight can not only inspire people's hearts and minds, but also set itself up as a target. There will be constant doubts, saying that you use space with bad intentions.

On February 1st, the second CZ-4C rocket produced by the base was once again established at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base. Qi Yiming still took time out of his busy schedule to go to Jiuquan to watch the satellite launch. Because

The thing carried on the launch vehicle this time was something directly related to the military industry he was mainly responsible for - Beidou series navigation satellites.

The Beidou project was listed in the Ninth Five-Year Development Plan, with the project codename "Beidou-1". It was first planned in 1983. The specific development is still a classic Chinese three-step process: the first step is the test phase, that is, the launch

A small number of geosynchronous orbit satellites will be used to complete the test mission. The main purpose is to accumulate technical experience for system construction, train talents, and make technical reserves. The second step is to launch more than 10 satellites by 2012 to make the Beidou satellite navigation and positioning system

(Beidou-2) initially covers the Asia-Pacific region; the third step is to build a global satellite navigation system consisting of 5 geostationary orbit and 30 geostationary non-stationary satellites by 2020.

The first Beidou-1 satellite was launched in 2000, followed by a total of 4 satellites launched within a few years, which were basically experimental. The performance of the four satellites in Beidou 1.0 is far from reaching that of ordinary satellites.

It meets military and civilian requirements, but it marks the beginning of China's entry into global navigation. First of all, the coverage of the 1.0 system is only in the Tianchao area. Secondly, the positioning accuracy can only reach 20 meters. Compared with the 10 meters of GPS, there is still some gap. Because of the

It is a radio communication protocol, so the signal is extremely easy to detect by others and has no military value. In addition, this system terminal cannot be used in high-speed aircraft, so the market for use is restricted.

Most of the equipment currently provided by China relies heavily on satellite positioning systems. It can barely use GPS for now, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. It is widely said that China is determined to develop the Beidou system because of the

During the Six-Taiwan Strait crisis, in order to contain Chinese missiles, the U.S. military suspended all missile satellite positioning authorized to China. In an instant, TG found that most of the weapons had declined from high-precision weapons to earthen artillery. This feeling of being controlled by others was very important to those who lacked a sense of security.

China absolutely cannot tolerate this, so developing its own satellite positioning system has become an even more important project in the aerospace industry than manned spaceflight.

Qi Yiming didn't know much about aerospace. At this moment, a Red Alert engineer stood next to him, specifically introducing to him the situation of the Beidou system that appeared more than ten years in advance.

"We directly skipped the level of Beidou 1. Basically, the technical indicators are close to Beidou 2.0. This satellite launch is also a double satellite with one rocket. Two satellites will be launched into the geostationary orbit. The whole system construction

After completion, these two satellites will serve as backup satellites, and now they will mainly provide us with short message communications, precision timing and positioning services."

Seemingly knowing what the base boss is most concerned about, the engineer added: "The application of Beidou system will fill the last gap in the army's comprehensive data link system. With Beidou, building a digital army will no longer be a problem. Beidou and

Other communication satellites and spy reconnaissance satellites will provide our military with the greatest intelligence and information support as well as the most timely communication assistance and positioning services."

Of course Qi Yiming understood the significance, and he also asked eagerly: "About when will the level of digital force requirements be initially achieved."

The engineer, who seemed to have little emotional intelligence, answered simply: "We need at least 202 more satellites."

Qi Yiming was almost defeated, but he thought to himself that this was not surprising. Even in 2015, the PLA did not dare to say that it had completed the construction of an entire digital army. Some centimeter-level reconnaissance satellites were not up to par, and the global

Not all Beidou satellites for positioning have been launched into the sky, and coupled with some software and hardware problems on the ground terminal system, this road to digitalization is definitely a long way to go.

He is not too sad. The current leaders of military innovation, the Yingjiang family, have just begun to explore this model. Qi Yiming at least knows how to go in the future. This is an advantage in itself. If you click on the wrong technology tree

The punishment is absolutely terrible, with him at least you won't click on the wrong technology tree.

In the "elegant room" specially set up to watch the satellite launch, the launch commander's countdown began to sound. Qi Yiming had seen many such scenes on later TVs, and was not too excited. Instead, he looked outside through the display screen

The huge Long March 4C rocket, secretly said: "The CZ-4C was definitely not a first-class level in the 1980s. The American devils made Delta, the Mao Xiong's Soyuz, all of them were inferior to

CZ-4 is stronger. In the aerospace field, the gap between Tujia and Tujia is actually wider than in some ordinary military fields."

With the fiery tail flame soaring into the sky, the launch vehicle rose up from the ground, slowly breaking away from the shackles of gravity, and then rushed towards the vast universe without hesitation. Qi Yiming in the elegant room was particularly calm, but outside

The astronauts in the command hall hugged each other excitedly and applauded endlessly.

Qi Yiming can generally feel their mood. What he brings to these sincere astronauts is not actually those huge rockets and advanced satellites, but a road that can see the dawn. There is no doubt that in this era,

Many people engaged in scientific research are extremely confused. After the turmoil subsided, people regained their senses and re-entered the track of development. They suddenly found that the distance between their opponents was getting wider and wider, so much so that they, who were originally enthusiastic, lost their minds.

Fear arose.

Just like the article "How Long Can the Red Flag Fly?" written by a certain usurper Lin in the Soviet area, today's scientific researchers are worried and even extremely pessimistic when faced with the huge technological gap. Just like there was a gentleman with ambition on his chin.

With the courage to fight against the whole family, in order to refute the revolutionary defeatism, he wrote a few words - A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Qi Yiming was indulging his thoughts, but the engineer next to him interrupted him without a long look and said: "Boss, to be honest, the Beidou system still has many problems that need to be improved, especially high-resolution reconnaissance.

For subjects such as anti-jamming, we are still only using it to solve problems. Only when it is completed in the combat laboratory and you unlock the Red Alert spy satellite system and integrate its main technologies can it play a greater role."

Qi Yiming shook his big head and said: "You think I don't want to, but the speed of upgrading is too slow. It has been a year, and the experience bar has only reached half of it. I don't know when I can upgrade."

Go to the second level to unlock the combat laboratory."

The engineer answered naturally: "The Red Alert Base exists for war. Since you took possession of it, it has not been mainly used for combat. It is like a hamster-like reserve of supplies. The base's large output of equipment is not just for you to manufacture."

The purpose of weapons storage is to quickly replenish the required war weapons. Only by participating in the war can you continuously upgrade and unlock more advanced technology and equipment."

Qi Yiming was stunned. He actually didn't react to such a simple truth for so long. He patted the back of his head and secretly said that since he had the red police base, he never wanted to drag China into some war, but to drag China into some war.

He was thinking about how to build the Celestial Empire better and the PLA stronger, so he subconsciously avoided the issue of fighting. In this year, he gained so little experience, which basically came from the southern Xinjiang battlefield and aided Iran.

pilots to deal with the Korean rebellion, and these small-scale conflicts could bring him very limited experience points.

"Are we really going to fight a war?" Qi Yiming immediately dismissed this idea. He was not afraid of trouble, but the objective conditions absolutely did not allow him to incite the senior officials to launch a large-scale war, and

This time at the end of the Cold War is also relatively sensitive, and it is difficult to deal with the serious consequences that may break out. What's more, Qi Yiming is not a warmonger. It is difficult for him to have the decisiveness of the time traveler, because after all, when he sees each and every one alive

His life was taken away like this. Without a noble or false excuse, it is really difficult to make a decision.
