Chapter 335: Multiple Stars in One Rocket, Satellite-Guided Missiles, Problems with the Nuclear Powe
Li Yang nodded confidently: "Of course it is feasible. We need to make some adjustments to the design of the rocket to increase its carrying capacity, and optimize the layout and release sequence of the satellites. Although this requires a lot of calculations and precise control, I believe that with our technical level, it is completely feasible."
Rocket experts were stunned. Many of them may have never thought that rockets could be used in this way. This idea not only overturned their cognition, but also opened a door to the future for them.
Just when everyone was still immersed in the shock of launching multiple satellites with one rocket, Li Yang came up with an even more astonishing idea.
"Everyone," Li Yang's voice suddenly became serious, "In addition to these civilian satellites, I have a more important plan."
The atmosphere in the room became solemn as Li Yang's tone changed. Everyone felt that the next topic might be related to national security.
Li Yang looked around to make sure everyone was listening carefully, then said slowly, "We can use satellites to provide guidance for missiles."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into a dead silence. Everyone held their breath and looked at Li Yang in disbelief.
A senior military officer was the first to break the silence: "Comrade Li, are you saying... we can use satellites to control the flight trajectory of missiles?"
Li Yang nodded: "That's right. Through the satellite navigation system, we can obtain the missile's location information in real time and conduct precise guidance. This will greatly improve the accuracy and strike capability of our missiles."
The military representatives exchanged shocked looks. Many of them may have never thought that satellites and missiles could be combined in this way. This idea not only overturned their cognition, but also opened up a whole new field for national defense.
A rocket expert stood up, his voice trembling with excitement: "Comrade Li, do you know what this means? This will completely change the form of war! Our missiles will have unprecedented accuracy!"
Li Yang nodded seriously: "Yes, this is not only a technological advancement, but also a strategic leap. With satellite guidance, our missiles can achieve precision strikes around the world."
The military representatives' eyes sparkled with excitement when they heard this, and they began to discuss in low voices the strategic advantages that this technology could bring.
However, an older general raised a critical question: "Comrade Li, this idea is indeed exciting. But will the enemy have the same technology? If they interfere with or destroy our satellites, won't our missiles lose guidance?"
Li Yang gave the general an appreciative look, clearly pleased with the perceptive question.
"The general raised a very important question," Li Yang said. "It is true that satellites are very fragile in space. But we have ways to deal with this problem."
He walked to the whiteboard and began to draw a complex network diagram: "We will build a navigation network consisting of multiple satellites. Even if some satellites are destroyed, the entire system can still operate normally. At the same time, we will also use various anti-interference technologies to ensure the reliability of the signal."
The military representatives listened attentively, realizing that Li Yang had not only put forward a revolutionary idea, but also considered various possible problems and solutions.
At this time, a young engineer asked a question: "Mr. Li, how accurate can this satellite guidance system be?"
Li Yang smiled and said, "Good question. Our goal is to achieve meter-level accuracy, which means that no matter where the target is on the earth, we can accurately guide the missile to within a few meters."
This answer once again caused a burst of amazement. Everyone present realized that if this kind of precision could really be achieved, it would completely change the form of warfare.
A senior official from the Ministry of National Defense stood up and said solemnly, "Comrade Li, what you just said is of great significance to our country's national defense. But how long will it take to develop such a system? How much resources will it take?"
Li Yang took a deep breath and looked around, seeing that everyone's face was full of expectation and nervousness. He knew that his answer would directly affect the future of the project.
"Comrades," Li Yang said in a firm and confident voice, "I know this task is arduous, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. I estimate that from now on, we will need about five years to complete the development and deployment of the entire system."
He paused, noticing the worried looks on some faces, and added: "I know five years seems a long time. But please think about it. In five years, we will have the most advanced missile guidance system in the world. This is not just a weapon system, but also a strategic guarantee that can ensure our national security."
Li Yang's words were full of appeal, and the atmosphere in the room became heated. People began to discuss in low voices, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
At this moment, the gray-haired old man, the Minister of Aerospace, stood up. The room immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The minister looked around and then set his sights on Li Yang: "Little Li, what you showed us today is not just some new technologies, but also an opportunity to change the fate of our country. Your idea is bold and forward-looking, but I believe that with our country's strength and determination, it will be realized."
He turned to the others and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Comrades, I propose that we immediately set up a special project team, with Comrade Xiao Li as the chief engineer, to fully promote this plan. We must gather the best talents from all over the country and mobilize all available resources to ensure the smooth progress of this project."
The minister's words were met with warm applause, and everyone present realized that they were witnessing a historic moment.
Li Yang stood there, feeling the enthusiasm and expectations of the people around him. He knew that even more difficult challenges were waiting for him, but he also firmly believed that as long as they persevered, they would be able to realize this seemingly impossible dream.
At this moment, a young engineer suddenly raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Li, we just discussed so many advanced satellite technologies, but can our current rockets meet these needs? Especially the one-shot multiple satellites you mentioned, this should be very demanding for the rocket, right?"
Li Yang nodded with an approving look on his face: "That's a good question. Indeed, our existing rockets cannot fully meet these needs. Therefore, we also need to develop a new generation of launch vehicles at the same time."
He began to sketch a rocket on the whiteboard, his strokes smooth and confident, as if this complex machine was just a simple toy in his eyes.
"We need to develop a new high-thrust rocket," Li Yang explained as he drew. "Its carrying capacity must be at least 50% higher than our current rockets. At the same time, we also need to optimize the rocket's multi-stage separation technology to ensure that we can accurately release multiple satellites at different orbital altitudes."
Rocket experts gathered around the whiteboard and carefully observed Li Yang's design. There was surprise and admiration in their eyes. An older expert couldn't help but say: "Comrade Li, your design... is simply revolutionary! But can we make such a high-thrust rocket engine with our current technology?"
Li Yang smiled and nodded: "Indeed, this places high demands on our engine technology. We need to develop a new type of high-efficiency liquid oxygen-kerosene engine. This engine not only has high thrust, but also high reliability. Most importantly, it can be started multiple times, which is crucial for launching multiple satellites with one rocket."
He continued: "In addition, we also need to improve the rocket's control system. The traditional inertial navigation system can no longer meet the precision requirements of launching multiple satellites with one rocket. We need to develop a high-precision guidance system based on satellite navigation."
The rocket experts were stunned. Many of them probably never thought that there was such a lot of room for improvement in rocket technology.
Just as everyone was still immersed in their vision of the new generation of rockets, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. A young staff member rushed in with an anxious expression on his face.
"Engineer Li!" the young man panted, "There's a problem at the nuclear power plant! The circuit system suddenly became abnormal, and they asked you to go over and take a look immediately!"
This sudden news instantly made the atmosphere in the entire conference room tense. Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yang, waiting for his reaction.
Li Yang's expression immediately became serious. He quickly looked around the conference room and said to the leaders present: "Dear leaders, I am very sorry. It seems that I must rush to the nuclear power plant immediately. We will continue the discussion about satellites and rockets later."
The Minister of Aerospace immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Xiao Li, the safety of the nuclear power plant is of vital importance. You should go as soon as possible. Just let me know if you need any support."
Li Yang nodded and quickly packed up his documents and notebook. He turned to the young man who had brought the news and said, "Let's go. Let's set off immediately. Please tell me the details on the way."
Just as Li Yang was about to leave the conference room, the rocket expert suddenly stopped him and said, "Comrade Li, although the nuclear power plant is urgent, the new rocket design you just mentioned...can we start preparing for it?"
Li Yang stopped, looked back at those expectant eyes, and said firmly: "Of course, our aerospace industry cannot stop. You should start preliminary planning based on my previous idea, and we will discuss it in detail after I finish dealing with the nuclear power plant."
After that, Li Yang walked out of the conference room quickly, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor. People in the conference room looked at each other, worried about the sudden incident at the nuclear power plant, and full of admiration for Li Yang's calmness and decisiveness.
Li Yang got on the military jeep that had been waiting outside and drove quickly towards the nuclear power plant. On the way, the young staff member reported the situation of the nuclear power plant in detail.
