Chapter 2622 Chasing the World's Footsteps
The live broadcast ended and the picture on the TV disappeared. As to whether there will be a return to the live broadcast, it is not known yet.

However, it’s good to be able to see this place.

At least it is much better than doing research just by looking at a photo, a newspaper or an instruction manual.

At least this time, there is the entire launch process, with pictures, actions, and explanations.
Much better than before.

Of course, no one can guarantee whether the United States has played any tricks here.

After all, there were no images of the spacecraft for a long time in the final live broadcast, and all we could see was the "host's" narration. Who knows whether the news we heard was true or not?
What's more, there are signal delays and communication problems, so there are many things that can be tampered with.

As long as there is a little bit of falsehood, or nine truths and one falsehood, it will affect the development of aerospace.

So these things need to be studied carefully, eliminating the dross and retaining the essence.

And this process requires discussion and research by everyone present.

Lay the foundation for future development.

Under the leadership of Mr. Chen, everyone moved to the conference room to start a detailed discussion.

This time, the important process of the moon landing is covered. Although not much information is given in the picture, it focuses more on the results of landing on the moon rather than the process.

And it is precisely this process that is important.

From this aspect, it can also be seen that the other party is not a fool and will broadcast everything live.

"Comrades, the United States has demonstrated its powerful technological capabilities."

Elder Chen looked solemn, and his eyes swept over the researchers present. "If this strength can guide all of humanity to work hard together, it will be of great significance for generations to come."

Mr. Huang, Mr. Xia and others all nodded.

"But will they?"

Chen Lao changed the subject and everyone looked stern, "No!"

The tone was sonorous and firm. This was the answer given by Mr. Chen.

This is also what everyone thinks.

“Just like the mushroom eggs that were made back then, how did they make them?”

"They're always shouting and throwing mushrooms, always threatening you, so they're essentially showing off, showing off their military power, warning and threatening those who threaten their status."

"Comrades!"

Elder Chen spoke in a firm tone. Everyone present held their breath, and the pressure they had felt when there were no mushroom eggs rose in their minds.

It was a suffocating pressure.

A kind of pressure that makes everyone afraid to stand up straight and say "no".

And now, the other party has taken the lead again.

All they have to do is catch up.

As for the alliance?

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

What's more, the Alliance and the United States are almost the same.

"I know that our country is still very poor, with a weak foundation and a weak foundation."

“But this is no reason for us to give up the chase.”

"The United States has embarked on a new track, and we cannot fall behind on this road, because if we fall behind, we will be beaten."

Elder Chen changed his tone and looked at Yang Xiaotao and Elder Wang, "We have already established a 'Moon Landing Project Team'. We have already started research and have begun catching up."

“So, comrades, don’t lose heart and don’t be afraid of difficulties.”

"No matter how difficult it is, it's still as difficult as facing the destruction of the nation and the extinction of the race?"

"No, there is no difficulty that can stop us from moving forward. There was no difficulty in the past, there is no difficulty now, and there will be no difficulty in the future!"

Bang bang bang bang
Yang Xiaotao stood up and led the applause, and everyone behind him stood up immediately.

Mr. Chen also clapped his hands.

Just yesterday he attended a discussion meeting convened by his superiors to discuss the United States' moon landing event.

The current external environment has changed.

With this moon landing, the authority of the United States will definitely be enhanced, and it may even overwhelm the Alliance in a short period of time and gain more voice.

If the alliance cannot catch up with the United States as soon as possible, it will affect the cohesion of the member states within the alliance.

Therefore, they still need to see the attitude of the alliance.

The final result of the discussion was limited development.

This limited development means increasing investment in the existing "moon landing project."

The specific arrangements will be determined by the project team.

After saying this, Mr. Chen handed over the meeting proceedings to Mr. Qian, then waved to Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Wang, and the three of them left the venue.

The three of them sat down in Mr. Chen's office, and Mr. Chen said, "The superiors are planning to increase investment, and we need to come up with a plan."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang immediately looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"No, why are you looking at me?"

Yang Xiaotao was confused by Wang Lao's gaze, so he moved away from him and finally said, "I am only responsible for the satellite part. To land on the moon, we need a rocket, a big rocket, and a spacecraft."

"You're not going to let me prescribe big rockets for you."

"If you dare, I don't care."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Mr. Wang quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. I have no idea about the big rocket. If you dare to make a plan, then prepare the money."

“We don’t even have enough money of our own.”

Yang Xiaotao shrugged. The research on communication satellites is a money-eating beast. So far, so much money has been spent, but there is not even a shadow of it.

"For this matter, we should divide the work and cooperate."

At this time, Mr. Chen spoke up, "The research on rockets will be handed over to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and the research on spacecraft will be handed over to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. You, the Ninth Ministry, should still focus on satellite communications."

"All departments should speed up the current process, especially your nine departments, which should complete the communication satellite first, and then turn around to assist the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Wang both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. What they feared most was being too ambitious.

Especially Mr. Wang, he is still worried about the manufacture of large rockets.

"Understood. We will definitely speed up the research."

Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Wang made the promise together.

Afterwards, Mr. Chen talked about the requirements of his superiors, stating that progress should be reported every month, which the two had no problem with.

As long as you are doing something, even if you fail and make no progress, it is still progress.

After the three of them finished chatting, Yang Xiaotao stood up and left, preparing to return to the conference room to listen to the discussion. In the room, Ran's father was gathering with Qian Lao and others, and more and more people gathered around them.

When Yang Xiaotao walked in, everyone's eyes were on the blackboard in front of them.

Seeing that the room was blocked tightly, Yang Xiaotao simply found a stool and stood on it, so that he could see the situation inside clearly.

I saw Father Ran drawing a picture on the blackboard, and Mr. Qian was giving instructions on the side. The picture showed the United States launching a rocket.

"There shouldn't be too many here. Based on the speed, pressure and fuel, this size is wrong."

Father Ran frowned as he watched the second stage launch rocket, and Elder Qian also touched his chin and nodded, "Yes, there should be hydrogen in it, the size is wrong."

"Chief, I think it should be reduced by one tenth."

Lu Tao suddenly spoke up in the crowd, because he had just calculated in his mind and felt that the data was wrong.

Old Qian and Father Ran glanced sideways at Lu Tao and knew that he was from the Ninth Department. But after listening to his advice, they thought about it in their minds.

Other people around were also doing mental calculations.

Suddenly, Qian Lao's eyes lit up, and he nodded to Lu Tao, then looked at Ran's father, "Although the volume has been reduced by one-tenth, the weight has also been reduced, and the efficiency may be even greater."

Father Ran also recalled that this same problem was encountered when the Dongfeng-2 was launched.

Finally, the size and weight were reduced, which in turn resulted in a greater range.

After immediately understanding it, Ran's father started to make revisions.

When everyone saw this, they all kept it in mind.

But I became more interested in Lu Tao who was beside me.

Yang Xiaotao stood on a chair and watched the ongoing discussions inside. From the initial rocket launch to the final moon landing, the blackboard was densely covered with drawings.

"Here, orbit control, navigation, and data processing all require a lot of work. It's difficult for the other astronauts to do it unless they use computers to help."

Han Sanfeng expressed his opinion at this time based on his own work, so people around him were surprised when he said this.

Just now, everyone's attention was focused on mechanics and physics, and no one paid attention to this aspect.

When Mr. Qian heard this, his eyes lit up, and when he saw it was Han Sanfeng, he immediately nodded.

As an old man who has been engaged in computer research for more than ten years, I don't have the most experience in this area in the country, but I am definitely one of the top few.

"Old Han is right. From the Earth to the Moon, and then to the separation from the spacecraft landing module, ignition, etc., each step requires a lot of calculations. It can't be done exactly, but there can be no mistakes."

"These calculations, if done by humans alone, would be very slow and could lead to errors."

"So, they must have computer assistance on board their spacecraft."

Mr. Qian said seriously.

Someone nearby was skeptical and said, "We've all seen this computer before. It's very big."

"Not to mention the landing module, even if the entire spacecraft was put together, it wouldn't be able to accommodate it."

Hearing the question, everyone's eyes turned to Han Sanfeng again.

Seeing everyone looking over, Han Sanfeng said with a smile, "Our computers are now developing towards miniaturization. The emergence of semiconductors and integrated circuits has rewritten the form of computers."

"As long as we write a 'language' suitable for computers, we can communicate with them and let computers help us do work."

“Right now, we’re working on improving the computer while also working on the language.”

Han Sanfeng spoke firmly, his words full of confidence.

Old Qian looked at the situation, which was completely different from when he was in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and nodded secretly in his heart.

When he was in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, computer research was only mediocre. The biggest task of the director Han Sanfeng was to get "funds", but the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was so small, so where would the extra funds come from?

But it is different in the Ninth Ministry. When it was first established, it regarded computer research and development as one of the three major key projects. It not only provided funds, but also people and materials. All departments of the Ninth Ministry had to fully cooperate.

It is for this reason that Han Sanfeng and his colleagues can focus on computer research and development.

This is something the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building cannot compare to.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the nine departments attach great importance to new technologies.

Now, Mr. Qian nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this move was the right one.

"Old Han, please let us use this computer in the future."

Father Ran laughed when he heard this. They could not do without computers when they were studying rockets and satellite orbits.

"no problem."

Han Sanfeng agreed readily.

Seeing this, people from other units also came forward to ask questions.

Although in addition to Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shanghai are also researching computers, with the current progress, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's computer development speed is the fastest thanks to the large number of semiconductors provided by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In the future, maybe we will have to watch nine films.

Yang Xiaotao looked for a while, then left with Ye Lao and Shu Xingbei.

As for Han Sanfeng, Wang Can and Lu Tao, they stayed at the scene to continue the discussion.

In the jeep, Yang Xiaotao was driving, and two people in the back seat were still discussing the moon landing.

"It seems that we need to speed up our satellite communications."

Shu Xingbei sighed. Yang Xiaotao had already told him that after completing satellite communications, he would also help the Chinese Academy of Sciences research spacecraft.

Although it is a completely new field and a long-term task, Shu Xingbei feels it is worth it.

I think he spent the first half of his life in a muddle, and only now did he find the opportunity to realize his value.

This time, he won't miss it.

Mr. Ye sat aside and smiled, "Not only your satellite communications, but also computer research and development, machine tool research and development, and..."

“Many projects need to speed up their research and development.”

At this point, Mr. Ye suddenly laughed, "But, all of these cost money."

"We in the Ninth Department need to increase our investment."

As they spoke, they both looked at Yang Xiaotao.

After hearing the two people say this, Yang Xiaotao knew what they meant.

The little bit of funding from higher authorities is simply not enough.

The key is to get subsidies from the nine ministries.

But now the Ministry of Finance has a lot of spending money, especially on the Changyan Railway, where money has to be spent every day.

It is already difficult to maintain the current balance. If more people are added to each research project, the balance will be difficult to maintain.

unless
Yang Xiaotao held the car window with one hand and said helplessly, "It seems that I have to find another way to make money."

Hearing this, the two people in the back of the car laughed.
