Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Fang Yu stood up and walked to the wall chart in the office.

It was a world map, densely marked with the space launch bases and satellite orbits of various countries.

His finger moved across the map and finally stopped on the territory of Dragon Kingdom.

"Teacher Qian, please look at this map." Fang Yu's voice was heavy. "Three hundred years ago, when Zheng He sailed to the West, the Dragon Kingdom's fleet crisscrossed the seas and was a world leader. But what happened next?"

He turned around, his eyes gleaming. "We missed the Age of Exploration and the Industrial Revolution. The result of our closed-door policy was that our doors were opened by the great powers, and we were forced to sign unequal treaties, plunging into the darkest period in modern times."

Qian Sen listened quietly, with a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

“Now, mankind is about to enter the space age.”

Fang Yu's tone became passionate. "This is a brand new era, an opportunity to reshuffle the cards. We must never repeat the same mistakes!"

He walked back to his desk and pulled out a stack of documents from a drawer. "These are the space development plans of various countries we've collected. The United States has already established a space agency, and the Soviet Union is also stepping up its development of launch vehicles. If we remain indifferent, we will once again be left behind by the times."

Qian Sen picked up the document and read it carefully, nodding from time to time.

Fang Yu continued, "But my thinking is not just about 'not falling behind'. Dragon Country should be leading this era! We have 5,000 years of civilization, a hardworking and intelligent people, and a solid industrial foundation. Why can't we be at the forefront of the world in aerospace?"

"Well said!" Qian Sen suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "That's exactly the kind of ambition!"

Fang Yu's eyes lit up. "Moreover, developing the space industry isn't just for national prestige. It can bring tangible benefits to our people."

He walked to the sandbox at the other end of the room, where a complete satellite communication system was simulated: "Imagine, when we build a complete satellite network, the communication of the entire Dragon Country will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Border herders can enjoy modern communication technology just like urban residents, weather forecasts will be more accurate, and agricultural production can also receive scientific guidance.

"Not only that," Fang Yu's hand swept across the sand table, "the satellite navigation system will completely change our mode of transportation. Remote sensing satellites can help us better understand land resources and prevent natural disasters.

"In the military, space superiority is an indispensable strategic commanding height."

Qian Sen stood up and walked to Fang Yu.

The two stood side by side, staring at the simulated satellite signal flashing on the sand table.

"You're right," Qian Sen said with relief in his tone. "Space exploration isn't simply a military or technological issue; it's related to the great cause of national rejuvenation. It's rare for you to see this."

Fang Yu said solemnly: "So we must seize this opportunity. Times wait for no one. If we don't act now, it will be even more difficult to act in the future."

"To be honest," Qian Sen said with a rare smile, "I was worried before I returned home. I wondered if anyone in China truly understood the importance of aerospace. Hearing what you said today, I'm relieved."

Qian Sen cast his gaze out the window, his brow furrowed slightly. His earlier eagerness was gradually replaced by a hint of worry. Inside the office, the sun was still shining brightly, yet a vague solemnity enveloped it.

"Developing the space industry is indeed urgent." Qian Sen turned around and said in a low voice, "But there is a key problem - we lack the necessary computing power."

He walked to his desk and pointed at the blueprints on it: "Rocket design, orbit calculation, aerodynamic analysis... all of these require powerful computing power. In the United States, we use IBM-701 electronic computers for simulation calculations. But in China..."

Before he finished speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Fang Yu's mouth.

"Mr. Qian," Fang Yu stood up, "please follow me."

After walking through a long corridor, the two arrived at the most secluded laboratory in the factory. The heavy security door slowly opened under Fang Yu's fingerprint recognition.

"This is..." Qian Sen's voice trembled slightly.

In the center of the laboratory, a huge machine was in operation. The crisp sound of printing, the regular flashing of indicator lights, and the iconic magnetic tape device - this was clearly a computer!

"This is the electronic computer we developed independently." Fang Yu pressed a few buttons and the machine responded immediately. "Its computing speed is three times that of the IBM-701, and its storage capacity is more than five times."

Qian Sen stepped forward quickly, his eyes flashing with disbelief: "How...how is this possible?"

Fang Yu opened the computer's operating interface and said, "We have adopted a brand-new transistor technology, completely abandoning the traditional vacuum tube route. At the same time, we have achieved a major breakthrough in memory design."

Qian Sen carefully checked the computer's parameters, and his professional acumen allowed him to quickly discover the extraordinary features of this machine.

"That's incredible!" Qian Sen's voice trembled with excitement. "This is at least ten years ahead of the world level! How did you do it?"

Fang Yu smiled without saying anything, and instead called up a set of aerospace calculation programs: "This is a calculation module we developed specifically for aerospace engineering. Orbital mechanics, thermodynamics, material stress analysis... can all be completed here."

Qian Sen's hands danced across the keyboard, his eyes brightening as each calculation result appeared.

"With this computer..." Qian Sen took a deep breath, "our dream of space travel is really just around the corner!"

Fang Yu walked over to the computer and gently stroked the case. "This is not just a computer, it's a symbol of Dragon Country's technological strength. With it, we can stand on the same starting line as the world's superpowers."

Qian Sen held Fang Yu's hand, tears in his eyes. "Director Fang, you gave me a huge surprise today. With such a technological foundation, coupled with our talent and determination..."

"We can definitely create a miracle." Fang Yu took over the conversation.

Sunlight streamed in through the laboratory windows, illuminating the machine that held the nation's hopes. At that moment, the two technological pioneers seemed to have foreseen the future of China's aerospace industry.

"Let's get to work." Qian Sen's voice was firm and powerful.
