"All ready, one, two, three, shoot!"
The photographer took a family portrait of the Defense Advanced Technology Research Institute/Satellite and Launch Vehicle Research team.
"The sun is so good today," Tang Hua said, "Let's make a jump, the shutter should be fine, right?"
Photographer: "It should be fine, then you call one two three and I'll take a picture."
"Then I'm calling, one, two, three, eggplant!"
A photo of each of them with their teeth and claws in different expressions, and a few of them vacated, was captured in the camera film.
……
Beginning at noon on December 12, the "socialist camp singing the national anthem" became a global hot news.It is useless for the United States and Western Europe to block the news. Now, there is no need for aerospace measurement and control radars, nor for radio monitoring arrays. Radio amateurs can confirm the existence of Forward One with a slightly modified radio.
It stands to reason that at noon on December 12th is midnight in the United States, and the solar cells on the satellite cannot supply power over North America.
But Tang Hua stuffed a 50kg rechargeable battery inside the 15kg satellite...
Well, now it is broadcast 24 hours without dead ends.
In the evening, diligent reporters and newspaper offices changed the layout, and the next morning, three or four newspapers in the United States reported the explosive news.
"China successfully launched the first artificial satellite, the news is completely true"
"Chinese Satellite Plays Music in Space for 22 Minutes and 50 Seconds"
"The U.S. Has Fallen to Third Place in the Space Race, and There's a Lot of Downside"
……
Washington.
Now the mood of the Americans is like that of the No. 5000 athlete in the 2-meter long-distance race. No. 1 is the Soviet Union, leading too much, the United States has been trapped, so they get used to it, and the silver medal is okay.
As a result, another person passed him at this time, and what was even more exasperating was that this person was not an athlete, but a reporter who was following the track with a TV camera weighing dozens of kilograms.I saw that the camera on the reporter’s shoulder was still on, the press card and the entrance card were hanging around his neck, the shirt and leather shoes, and his feet were flying like flying. Seeing that he passed the United States a little bit, no more, no less, just two positions ahead of him. finish line.
"Excuse me, when will the next space launch of the United States take place? Is there any hope of sending the first artificial satellite of the United States into space?"
The reporter asked the White House spokesman a question.
Spokesperson: "Pioneer-TV3 will be the first artificial satellite of the United States. The satellite and its launch vehicle have been completed and will be launched from Cape Canaveral. live streaming."
Reporter: "According to accurate information from various sources, China successfully launched its first artificial satellite yesterday. What's your comment?"
The spokesperson quickly pulled out the prepared note: "We congratulate our colleagues in China. Space is a precious space shared by mankind. We hope that China's use of space is legitimate, does not threaten the survival of the earth, and does not target any country or region. Peaceful action."
Reporter: "Comparing the space programs of China and the United States, do you have anything to say to us?"
Spokesperson: "Eh...I don't know about the relevant situation. China's space program has never been made public and is shrouded in mystery..."
Reporter: "Then you can comment on the US space program, you should know about it."
Spokesperson: "This concludes today's press conference, thank you all."
……
"The Americans seem to...can't afford to lose." The embassy has frequently used telegrams to contact the country today. Boss Chen and the Prime Minister can know the latest developments in the United States: radio, newspapers, TV programs, and the just-concluded White House press conference meeting.
Prime Minister: "The United States can accept that the Soviet Union launched artificial satellites before it, but they are not mentally prepared enough for China to catch up."
Boss Chen: "I only found out in September that our aerospace project was launched, and we were going to launch satellites immediately. I was also taken aback. This Tang Hua and this Qian Xuesen moved too fast."
……
Three streets away from the White House, the "Christmas shopping season" of the Chinese embassy in the United States started in advance.
Gu Weijun came to the Chinese Association Hall, which was the venue of the event, with a smile on his face. Although the 69-year-old Ambassador Gu was carrying a cane, he didn't use it at all, but just carried it in his hand casually.He and the staff of the embassy walked into the hall, and the venue erupted into warm and prolonged applause.
"Hi everyone, thank you, thank you for your support." Gu Weixin clasped his fists in greeting, "Have you all heard the broadcast of China's artificial satellite?"
"I got it." "My son tinkered with the radio for me and just listened to it this morning."
Models of the Long March-[-] rocket and the Qianjin-[-] satellite were placed on the podium table.
"This batch is a gift. We are all our own people, and we give it away for free. If you have a relationship and can lead to various stores and stores, please contact our business agent directly. By the way, the wholesale price is very cheap, with small profits. It’s sold out, and the Christmas schedule is coming soon, so we’ll be making a profit.”
Chapter 166, the United States broke the defense
"The Soviet Union congratulated China on the successful launch of the first artificial satellite." "The German Democratic Republic congratulated China on the successful launch of the first artificial satellite." "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea congratulated China on the successful launch of the satellite." Congratulations on the first artificial satellite, and asked why only China's national anthem is accompanied by multiple instruments." …
A variety of musical instruments... If the national anthem of each country has multi-instrumental accompaniment, then the two ROM chips will not fit.
"The secretary-general of the International Physical Year Committee sent a call to congratulate China on the successful launch of the first artificial satellite. The Chinese entered the space age, which made the International Geophysical Year from 1957 to 1958 more powerful, achieved more results, and better promoted the earth. development of physics."
On the morning of December 12, the train arrived at Beijing Railway Station, and everyone who got off the train could intuitively feel how powerful the shock of Qianjin No. 6 going to the sky was for the Chinese people.
It's not that the train station is crowded with people, and the train station is cleared.
The Premier and Li Fuchun greeted the launch vehicle-satellite team.What surprised everyone was the posters and slogans along the way, and saw two groups or schools gather for speeches and celebrations. On the afternoon of the 4th, the radio broadcast announced that the launch was successful. On the 5th, the front pages of all newspapers were refreshed. This is already the second day.
In December 1957, the implementation of the first five-year plan was about to be completed, and China's industry was advancing by leaps and bounds, and agriculture was growing steadily.
In most provinces of the country, major cities gradually resembled a modern industrial production center rather than a residential and consumption place for the ruling class in an agricultural society.
There are more factories in the city, and the homeless and beggars on the streets have disappeared.After the public-private partnership, the workers in private enterprises have more money in their pockets. Although everyone is busier than before, except for working in the factory, there are always strange meetings, but how do you say that? Much is justice.
The point is that the price of these five years has been as stable as an old dog.
The current generation of workers grew up during the Republic of China. They all experienced the two consecutive collapses of French currency and gold coupons. They also remember the price fluctuations in 1950 and 1952. However, since 1953, the prices of major necessities have almost been welded to death.
It would be nice if the prices were welded and the stores had a little more variety.
On September 9th, the Soviet Union launched its first artificial satellite. The Chinese people of course sincerely congratulated and envied it, but thinking about "this is the Soviet Union's big brother who just wants to confront the United States", so I don't feel sour.
Then, just two months later, bang, we launched one ourselves.this?
……
On December 12, almost all the front pages of newspapers had line drawings of the Long March-5 rocket and the Qianjin-[-] satellite. In the era before laser phototypesetting, it was quite hard work for plate makers to make these.
"Forward-55.6 artificial satellite has a net weight of 302 kilograms and operates in a low-earth orbit with a perigee of 1330 kilometers and an apogee of 7.9 kilometers. The satellite flies at a speed of [-] kilometers per second. This speed can overcome the gravity of the earth and operate for a long time in space without air resistance. .”
"Forward-[-] satellite is the world's first artificial satellite equipped with solar cells. Solar cells are extremely high-tech semiconductor products. As long as they are exposed to sunlight, they can directly generate current, which can continuously supply power for satellite equipment in space. to two years."
"At the same time, the Forward-45000 satellite is also the world's first artificial satellite equipped with advanced computer equipment. The computer equipment on the satellite contains [-] transistors, which is three times the total number of transistors in the world's first generation of electronic computers."
There is nothing wrong with it, the two ROMs, the matching digital processing chip and the conversion chip are equivalent to more than 2 transistors.Then there are two sets of palm-sized motherboards in the satellite, double insurance.
Tang Hua had reviewed this manuscript before going to Shanxi to launch the satellite. Saying this would not inspire Americans or point out the direction of development, but would be highly misleading—contains 45000 transistors!
