Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

At this time, there was also excitement outside the door. Officials in Mumbai heard that the suzerain of the Greater China Federation had arrived here in the afternoon, and rushed to the door of the hotel one after another, but they were all blocked by the secret agents on guard. Many officials were frustrated. Why can't I think of living in this hotel?

After finally stopping the commotion at the wedding scene, Guan Xuqing walked out of the crowd surrounded by guards, cleared his throat and said, "There is no emperor here today, I just came to bless a couple, let the bride and groom Come out!"

Surrounded by the spies, Zhao Bingjun walked out slowly with his bride...

Before dawn, Guan Xuqing was ready to leave. Zhao Bingjun was granted a three-day vacation by him, but Zhao Bingjun did not agree. He was very satisfied to be able to marry his beloved, and he didn't want to delay his work because of this.

When Guan Xuqing came out of the room, he found the boss and the two guys waiting at the door with sad faces. "Your Majesty, it's all because we don't have good eyesight. Your lord has a lot, so please forgive me." The boss stammered boldly.

Guan Xuqing felt a little baffled at first, but soon came to his senses and laughed, "What are you afraid of? I won't do anything to you. Remember to treat others better in the future. Don't see someone without money as if you met a plague god."

"Yes, yes." The boss and the staff said in one voice, quietly wiped off the cold sweat, and the catastrophe was finally over.

When they got to the door, they found that Indian officials at all levels were squatting at the door. It seemed that they had been guarding here all night.Guan Xuqing said angrily, "I don't need to work anymore? I'm not a rare animal, so why not!" After speaking, he walked forward without looking back, leaving only a group of officials who were scolded and dripping with cold sweat.

The owner of this hotel later changed the name of the hotel to "Dynasty Hotel", and the business was booming. If you don't make a reservation one month in advance, there will be no rooms at all, especially the house where Guan Xuqing once lived, which is even enshrined by the boss as a rare treasure. Get up, don't let people visit easily.

The festive atmosphere disappeared as soon as they boarded the train. What Guan Xuqing and Feng Xianghua talked about most was the next expansion plan of the empire.Two days later, the special train arrived at their destination, the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Force on the border between Iraq and Turkey.Chiang Kai-shek didn't organize any welcoming ceremony, all the troops were training normally as usual, they didn't even know that the emperor and Feng Gong had come here quietly, this also made Guan Xuqing very satisfied.

A month later.

In the south of Sichuan, China, in the north of the Panzhihua Industrial Zone where the heavy industry base was rebuilt in the southwest, there is a town called Xichang. Although Xichang Town is small, it has been an important town in the southwestern border of the motherland since ancient times. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the regimes of all dynasties have been established here. Counties, prefectures, and government officials have been appointed. The major factor restricting the development of Xichang is population. Due to the difficulty and cost of building roads in the mountainous areas of Sichuan, Xichang has not been greatly developed.However, with the westward shift of the empire's industrial center of gravity and the development of the Panzhihua Heavy Industry Zone construction project, the small town of Xichang has also begun to receive some additional attention.

Since the end of the 19th century, more than 3000 people entered Xichang to build roads and pave roads. Many local people and Yi people were surprised because the roads built by more than 3000 people were so wide and strong. The outside is still a black asphalt road, but the concrete road is actually built here.All the mountains and rocks on both sides of the road have been checked, and those in danger of falling must be blasted and removed or reinforced in advance.The slope of the mountain on the side wall of the road dug out from the mountain has been reduced and slowed down, and the damaged and exposed surface has to be blocked and reinforced with well-shaped bricks or Huanggang stone. The locals feel novelty.

This high-standard highway leads to a mysterious base more than 60 kilometers away from Xichang. This base was built at the same time as the highway, but before the road was completed, more preliminary work such as surveying and mapping and soil quality testing was done. Shortly after the first phase of the primary road was formed by a dozen rotary excavators and bulldozers. More than 300 trucks loaded with various construction materials drove into this mysterious base along the highway.The huge size of the convoy surprised all the locals. Although these convoys are usually transported at night, and the locals are also told not to go out at night, everyone can feel the pain of such a large convoy. resulting vibration.

As more and more people settled in this area, some news was also spread by various channels, that a large-scale construction project was going on there.This project is different from the factory in Panzhihua, where the buildings are bigger and taller, the iron frame is tens of meters high, and there is a deep streamline groove under the iron frame, and the huge iron pot looks into the sky. .All kinds of information inside revealed the unusualness of this mysterious base.

The arrival of tens of thousands of people made Xichang lively all of a sudden.Although these people are always mysterious, they must eat and drink. The large population has brought benefits to the mountain people and Yi people in this area. As long as they are not close to that area, they are responsible for guarding it. The soldiers are actually easy to talk to and get along with, and due to the construction of roads and railways, a large number of schools, hospitals, supply and marketing cooperatives and other surrounding living facilities have been built, allowing more people to go out of the mountains and become rich.

Finally one day, in that mysterious place on a clear night, there was a continuous thunderous noise.Many people saw that from there flew a huge flame, which shot straight into the deep night sky until it disappeared.

Today, shortly after the establishment of the new Xichang Railway Station, a train came at a constant speed, but it did not stop, but passed the station. Some people noticed that the train dragged the objects on the wagon with The thick cylinder is covered with thick canvas, and the track on which the train travels is a dedicated rail leading to that mysterious base.

"The sky is very clear and the climate is very comfortable. Every time I come here, I like to look at the sky here." Pu Yin said looking at the clean blue sky above his head.

"Yeah, it's as if it's just been cleaned today, and it's spotless. Why is it so comfortable here?" The eldest prince's Fujin Lingxian stood beside Pu Yin and looked at the blue sky in surprise.

"Mr. Braun, please explain." Pu Yin did not directly answer his wife's question, but took a report for review and handed the question to a foreigner in his 40s.

"Hello, Ms. Liang, I'm von Braun, the person in charge of the Xichang Rocket Launch Center. I'm very glad that you and the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences are here to watch the rocket launch. Let me first explain the special environment here."

Braun said that first of all, Xichang has a high altitude and a low latitude, with an average altitude of 1500 meters and a latitude of 28 degrees north latitude.We all know that the earth is rotating. Using the principle of centrifugal force, the lower the latitude, the closer to the equator, we can make full use of the centrifugal force of the earth's rotation, and it can also shorten the distance from the ground to the satellite orbit, thereby saving rocket fuel and increasing the payload of the rocket. , At the same time, it can also meet the requirements of launching satellites with large and small inclination angles in the future, and is also conducive to the recovery of satellites and rocket components.

Followed by terrain concealment.Xichang is located in the hinterland of Daliang Mountain, surrounded by clouds and mists. The high mountains and mountains are also natural barriers, which can block many external disturbances.

As for why the climate here is very comfortable.The main reason is that Xichang is known as the Little Spring City. Its climate is not inferior to that of Kunming, which is like spring all the year round. The climate here belongs to the subtropical plateau monsoon climate. The rainy season is from June to September, and the rest of the months are dry seasons. There are as many as 17 sunny days and almost no foggy days. Everyone who comes here for the first time will be surprised by the clear and clean sky.This also provides the most favorable conditions for our rocket and satellite experiments.Another point is that there are abundant water resources here. Since the rocket uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, it can also meet the requirements of a large amount of water for the launch center.

Braun explained the situation here to Ling Xian one by one.

"Thank you for your explanation." Ling Xian said politely.

"Pu Yin, what does that rocket look like, can we go and see it now?" Seeing that her husband had finished reviewing the documents, Ling Xian pestered him impatiently.

"Isn't it about to arrive?" Pu Yin, who was sitting in the car, closed the sunroof of the car, and pointed to the huge launcher that could be seen through the gaps in the trees on both sides of the road.

"It's so big..."

Standing under the rocket standing vertically and pointing directly at the blue sky, not only Ling Xian, but everyone who saw this scene for the first time was shocked.

"The Houyi-30.8 C rocket is an improved version of the first-generation rocket we researched. Based on the design of the A- and B-types, we summed up more than ten failures and successful experiences before finally developing it. Houyi-2.35 The carrier rocket is a three-stage rocket, mainly used to launch small payloads in low-earth orbit. The rocket has a total length of 83.6 meters, a maximum diameter of 121 meters, a take-off weight of 500 tons, and a take-off thrust of 450 tons. It can send a [-]-kilogram satellite into the [-]-kilometer low-Earth orbit. Compared with the previous two models, this C-type rocket can not only launch higher, but also carry heavier loads, and it is also much safer than the first two types of rockets.”

"When will it launch?" Pu Yin asked Braun.

"According to the plan, the fuel injection will start this afternoon, and the launch will be early tomorrow morning."

Will of the Empire 8 Chapter Eighty Military Satellites

"Okay, then let's get out quickly, don't delay your work." Pu Yin knew that when filling fuel, due to the danger of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the site needs to be cleared to ensure safety.

In the early morning of the next day, the launch center has quietly entered into a busy and tense working atmosphere. Everyone is busy with the work at hand, and one by one data is constantly being fed back to the command center.

"10 minute countdown to launch."

"The condition of the bunker is stable."

"The launch site is safe."

"Satellite condition is stable."

"The self-test of the circuit is normal."

"The weather center reports good weather without exception."

"The radar station reports that there is no abnormality in the [-] kilometers around the launch site."

"Optical tracking group is ready"

"The equipment and personnel of the Xichang rocket tracking team are ready."

"The communication guarantee center is ready."

"There is no abnormality in the communication cable."

"Hainan Rocket Tracking Center is ready."

"Hainan Control Center is ready."

"Jiuquan Rocket Observation Point sent a telegram to report that preparations are complete."

Many visitors were astonished and shocked at the same time. They never imagined that such a rocket base of several square kilometers could mobilize such a huge amount of manpower and material resources. To carry out a battle, and the resources covered by this battle cover such a vast area that even Hainan has been mobilized, and what is even more amazing is that the control and dispatch are synchronized.

"Cables, communication cables, the construction of the first communication cable in Southwest China a year ago was prioritized here. The control center of the rocket needs a lot, so as to achieve more accurate control and transmission of data. Now we have just built Xichang and The control center in Hainan is not yet fully completed. We have just built an observation point in Jiuquan, Gansu, and will expand it into a control center in the future. In the future, we will also establish a control center in Kashgar, Xinjiang, and will also build a control center in Shanxi, Guangdong, and Beijing In , Northeast, Henan and other places, control centers can be established, so that satellites can be better commissioned, and to meet the needs of a large number of communications, it is impossible to do without cable communications." Braun explained to everyone that the just completed one-year Cable communication project.

"The 1-minute countdown to rocket launch is ready!" Braun's voice was a little trembling. Although he had experienced so many test launches, this launch still made him feel a little excited.

"Five, four, three, two, one! Light the fire!!!"

The rocket launcher stared at the cruise lights flashing all the way, and none of the lights stayed on, which meant that everything was normal and smooth, and the launcher finally pressed the red button for launch.

"Boom..." There was a loud noise, and a huge flame burst out from the bottom of the rocket. The huge diversion groove guided the flame and the white mist formed after burning to both sides, and the huge thrust slowly pushed the rocket away from the launch pad, continuously Speed ​​up and fly to the sky.

At this time, on a control console of the rocket launch center, three staff members were facing a button covered by glass and iron frames. The operator in the middle was not as nervous and excited as the others. He sat on the console with a blank expression, his eyes fixed on the rocket on the screen, and he listened carefully to the instructions that would be given to him.

"Rocket first stage separated... Optical observation team lost target."

"Rocket enters atmosphere...Space observation team captures target."
