Starting from Feng-5 and Long March-3, the ballistic missiles and launch vehicles on Qian Xuesen's technology tree will be officially forked, and will develop separately in the future.
"This is a high-trajectory test, why are we waiting in front of the TV?" Tang Hua said, "Why don't the guards go down and buy some melon seeds, peanuts and beef jerky, and watch the surveillance while eating?"
Qian Xuesen: "The time is not too long, it landed in about an hour."
"Then let's get some melon seeds."
On the TV screen, the Dongfeng-3 on the No. 5 launch pad successfully ignited, and the missile moved upward slowly, accelerated its climb, and then plunged into the clouds.
Tang Hua: "Did Wuliang Suhai predict snow? The clouds are so low and so thick."
Qian Xuesen: "As long as the atmosphere is not full of thunder and lightning, you can do whatever you want. No matter what interference, the missile's self-control system can overcome it."
Dongfeng-5 drilled out of the atmosphere in this way. The height of the top of the parabola of the high-throw ballistic is 3700 kilometers from the ground, while the height of the normal intercontinental missile trajectory is only 700 kilometers. When it falls to Xinjiang, it will really have to wait. .
2200公里射程的中程导弹飞完全程大概十几分钟；洲际导弹不高抛的时候，飞完11000公里全程将近半小时；洲际导弹用高抛弹道做2200公里的飞行试验——30分钟过去了，40分钟过去了，45分钟过去了……
Well, the commanders and fighters of the Xinjiang base who were eager to see through finally saw the falling warhead from the observation window.
On December 12, in this undisclosed flight test, Dongfeng-28 successfully completed the high-throwing ballistic test firing. The observation of the highest point of the ballistic trajectory proved that the missile can reach a range of 5 kilometers, and the accuracy of the landing point is also good—— Only 11000 meters away from the center point.
Chapter 35, January 1961, 1
“上次来平遥是长征-2首射，上上次来平遥，是长征-1首射。从57年到59年到61年，我们基本上……20个月推出一种新火箭。”
January 1961, 1.Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
The Chinese aerospace team once again gathered in Pingyao. Nie Shuai, Tang Hua, and Qian Xuesen were at the front of the team after getting off the train. Ren Xinmin, Huang Weilu, and Tu Shou'e got together and seemed to be discussing the technical details of Long March-3; Yang Jiaxi, Yao Tongbin I got together with that German master Dürer and talked about satellites.
It's a pity that Qian Yi and Wang Xiji didn't come. They were on a business trip in the Soviet Union.
"Tang Hua, the record of launching a new rocket in two years is unsustainable. In the past few years, the Long March-1 and Long March-2 were not too complicated. They belonged to small and medium-sized launch vehicles, and the Long March-3 was much more complicated. "Qian Xuesen said.
Tang Hua: "However, the next rocket cannot be considered a new rocket. There are two bundled types of Long March-3, one of which is a low-orbit satellite and the other is a geostationary satellite. The similarity between the two is 80%."
钱学森：“所以长征-3K4和长征-4K4会在一年之内依次出现。但我说的是长征-5和长征-6，这两种火箭和长-3、长-4比差别可就大了。”
Tang Hua and Qian Xuesen chatted, and Nie Shuai joined the conversation after turning around:
"Tang Hua, the test launch of our Dongfeng-12 on December 28 is of great significance. Three days ago, on January 5, comrades in the Soviet Union finally successfully launched the third sample of the R-1, which is also a high trajectory. It flew 8 kilometers. Therefore, among China and the Soviet Union, we are the first to launch a full-thrust and full-state ballistic missile that can be deployed in actual combat."
"Oh, it's true. This should be attributed to our aerospace and missile production system. The reliability of the production and testing process is extremely high. In five months, we can equalize and then overtake a little bit." Tang Hua listened to Nie Shuai said so, and found that it was indeed a sense of accomplishment.
Nie Shuai: "It's 10 am now, and the launch window is 8 pm tonight. Let's finish today in one go, and then go home for the New Year."
Shoot out the rocket just in time for the 1.11 Xiaoguang Festival, and bring a few catties of Pingyao beef home... In late January, the economic statistics of the State Planning Commission in 1 came out, and we had to hold a meeting to analyze them.At the train station, Tang Hua took a special look around. At least Pingyao County and the surrounding villages were fine. The butcher shop in the county was open, and the faces of the residents and nearby villagers were normal.
……
On January 1961, 1, there seemed to be a phenomenon of new equipment appearing together.In Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard, an unprecedented huge ship has been formed in the dock, and today is the day of launching.
The lead ship of the Type 59 cruiser "Jiangsu", the keel was laid in March 1959, and after 3 year and 1 months of berth construction, it left the dock today.After undocking, it will take about 10 months to go through the outfitting process, and then go to sea for sea trials.
The 1-ton cruiser is not so easy to build. The berth cycle is nearly two years, and then it will take one and a half years to outfit it.
However, the berth cycle of the "Jiangsu" is actually not as long as the lead ship of the Type 56 destroyer. It was the first time that China manufactured a modern destroyer. Soviet experts and engineers taught Jiangnan to build a ship in the shipyard. This first step is really not good. easy.
When the "Jiangsu" ship started construction, Jiangnan Shipyard held the issued drawings, and there was a period of dazed and trembling hands.Yes, we built a destroyer of nearly 5000 tons, and an improved and enlarged version of the 58-ton Type [-] destroyer, but this time it jumped to [-] tons.
"I know that you have never built a [-]-ton warship. Therefore, even if the drawings have been repeatedly checked and calculated, and even if the materials for the ship are used and assembled by you before, you still feel uneasy," Makino Shigeru said. "However, you have never built a [-]-ton warship. I have, and I have built four."
At this time, Shigeru Makino became the psychological counselor and morale stabilizer of the shipyard workers and engineers.
"On the one hand, you must pay attention to the construction specifications of the Type 59 cruiser and find out the construction technology. On the other hand, you must break the psychological barrier. It is actually just a warship."
On the morning of January 1, the water filling of the dock began.In the afternoon, the water level inside the dock gradually became equal to the outside of the dock, the gate was opened, and the tugboat slowly towed the "Jiangsu" out of the dock and to the nearby outfitting wharf.
"If Minister Tang Hua was there, would he also tell us, 'Don't be too nervous, this time out of the dock, as long as the boat doesn't sink, it's a victory'?" Makino Shigeru said to Cheng Wang.
Cheng Wang: "...Mr. Muye, in fact, that's what I was thinking just now."
……
The outfitting plan of the "Jiangsu" focuses on installing the four-sided phased array, CIC center, main control computer and software at the end of 1961. The launch of this large system means that the core armament of the "Jiangsu" is in place. The strongest surface information node on the planet, the strongest single-ship air defense combat capability, and the strongest continuous projection firepower, the three records will be temporarily taken away by the Type 59 cruiser.
Due to strict restrictions on the total volume of the power cabin and the total weight of the power system, the 12700-ton "Jiangsu" has a speed of only 28.8 knots, but in exchange for a four-sided phased array radar with uncompromised performance, an automated combat system and 128 pits—— This is also the first universal vertical launch system on this planet.
At present, only ship-to-air missiles and cruise/anti-ship missiles can be used in common, but there will definitely be more types of missiles in the future.

Chengdu, Huangtianba Airport.
November 1 at 11 a.m.
"This plane can be called H-7 or Qiang-6, but why is it called JH-7 now?"
Lu Xiaopeng: "Because it can carry two air-to-air missiles."
On the runway of Huangtianba Airport, the first prototype of the JH-7 has arrived at the take-off point. The test pilot closed the hatch and waited for the take-off order.
The sharp nose, two side air inlets, and the whole body are painted moon white. The radome of the nose is dark green. The side of the fuselage is painted with the words "JH7001" in red, and the big vertical tail is painted with the Chinese Air Force's red five stars. sign.
The appearance, anyway, is two-seater, with air intakes on both sides, twin engines, and a single vertical tail. It’s all like this, and it’s really similar to the “Flying Leopard”.However, this aircraft has a larger wingspan and a much larger wing area than the "Flying Leopard", and its flight speed has also been reduced from 1.6 times the speed of sound to about 1.3 times the speed of sound.
Chang Qiankun, deputy commander of the Air Force in charge of equipment, was at the scene and was very excited to see the prototype.This is probably the aircraft most wanted by the current Chinese Air Force. Almost all performances are built according to the requirements of the Air Force.
"If we had this plane in India last year, a division of the Indian Army would have been blown up." Chang Qiankun said, "The furthest combat radius is 1400 kilometers, not to mention the Siliguri Corridor. Taking off from Baoshan, the entire Bihar State We can cover it all.”
Tu Jida: "Commander Chang, the air force suddenly raised the requirement for an increase in the combat radius, but it scared us into a cold sweat. Fortunately, all the forward-looking designs of the previous engine design, the engine thrust has a margin, and there is room for the aircraft design. We quickly put the maximum The take-off weight has been expanded from 27 tons to 32 tons, which finally solves this problem.”
Lu Xiaopeng: "A 32-ton...fighter-bomber."
Chang Qiankun: "It can hit anti-aircraft missiles, which is really not easy. If the auxiliary fuel tank is thrown away, and the empty surface ammunition is thrown away, he can really fight for several rounds in the sky."
Tu Jida: "Commander Chang, you forgot. In order to increase the fuel volume and achieve the predetermined combat radius, its cannon has been cancelled."
Chang Qiankun: "Cough..."
On the runway, the JH-7 took off very smoothly. It rolled on the ground, the speed became faster and faster, pulled up, and took off.
Although the JH-7 is designed with a maximum take-off weight of 32 tons, this prototype is now empty and half fueled, with a total weight of just over 22 tons. It is still very easy to take off.
"Three auxiliary fuel tanks, two anti-ship bombs or cruise bombs, with a combat radius of 1400 kilometers; one auxiliary fuel tank, four anti-ship bombs or cruise bombs, with a combat radius of 900 kilometers; or four guided bombs or air-to-ground missiles can also be mounted; A close support plan can be adopted, two sets of low-drag aerial bombs and two air-to-ground rocket launchers. Commander Chang, is it still necessary to engage in such unguided air-to-ground rockets?"
Tu Jida asked Chang Qiankun.
"Of course it is necessary. There are always occasions when it will be useful."
