There is no more accurate gyroscope, no smaller computer, no satellite... If all this is not available, the Rockets are just a dream. However, all laboratories are moving in unison, and the optical laboratory says that they have found ideas and are thinking about whether the experiment is feasible. After countless failures, the transistor laboratory has solved the problem of crystal rod growth using the 1918 Cheklausky method, but it has encountered difficulties in semiconductor doping technology. But unlike before, researchers who saw hope are full of confidence. They optimistically estimate that small-scale mass production of transistors will be achieved five years ago.

At this point, Yang Rui has fully understood that the core of the technology tree is transistors. As long as the transistor problem is solved and its use on a small scale in military basis can make the East Asian Alliance invincible. Later, Chinese goods will not only be an advantage in quality and cost, but a complete crushing of technical performance. The key is to maintain this last decade.

When Qian Changzuo and others prepared materials to introduce the direct rockets, Yang Rui thought that this was the problem in his mind. China is about to set off a wave of the third industrial revolution. She will definitely dominate Asia and look down on the world with the first-mover advantage. However, Xiong was just born, and the world situation was unpredictable. It is very likely that before she could grow up, she faced a catastrophe. The London Navy negotiations in the second half of the year were a real test.

Regarding this meeting, some people suggested that Japan should be abandoned. Even Wang Jitong had this idea during a chat, believing that what China lacked was ten years, and the Navy Disarmament Treaty was exactly ten years. It is not wrong to give up Japan and gain a valuable ten years. As long as this decade has lasted, China will no longer worry in the future. Wang Jitong's ideas represent the ideas of many people who are familiar with the situation at home and abroad, such as Yu Zixun, who has completely become the leader of the Christian pastor in China, and those representatives of the Jiyi Academy who do not want to fight and only want to make a fortune...

These people have some insights in their views, but in Yang Rui's view, giving up Japan means giving up the first island chain. Although the Philippines is in the hands of the United States, due to the treaty, the west of Pearl Harbor is not the scope of American maritime rights. This is also the reason why the US Navy's Asian fleet only has two outdated cruisers and a bunch of destroyer submarines. They have no confidence in defending anywhere west of Pearl Harbor after the war begins. The Philippines passed the independence bill two years ago and will be independent ten years later. At that time, the United States will only support the relevant islands in the Western Pacific, but even Guam is too far from the Asian continent.

In this case, Japan is extremely important. In addition to the classic saying of the saying "Whoever rules Eastern Europe will rule the hinterland of the mainland; whoever rules the hinterland of the mainland will rule the world island; whoever rules the world island will rule the world', there is also a prophecy: "Whoever rules Northeast Asia will control the Western Pacific; whoever controls the Western Pacific will control the destiny of Asia."

Excluding the nature of the British scoundrels, this statement does grasp the essence of Asia. China, Japan, and Russia are entangled in the Korean Peninsula in Northeast Asia. For China, the Korean Peninsula is the arm of the Gyeonggi and the barrier of the Northeast; for Japan, the Korean Peninsula is the "bayonet on the abdomen." When China and Japan first talked about alliances, the Japanese actually proposed to make southern Korea another country; for Russia, the Korean Peninsula is the horn of its Pacific Ocean estuary. Only a pro-Russian North Korea can ensure the security of this strategic estuary thousands of miles away from Petersburg Moscow. Unfortunately, the Petersburg contract 18 years ago caused Russia to lose Vladivostok.

Giving up Japan, even if the Japanese do not attack Pearl Harbor, China and Japan will have increasingly serious conflicts on the North Korean issue. The result of the internal struggle must be that Japan will give up Central Asia and gradually transform into an English and American shepherd dog in Asia. This kind of geographical loss cannot be compensated by technological gains. Even if the technology is advanced, there must be a stable and safe basic foundation to make it thrive...

"It turned out..." Seeing Yang Rui calm down, Wang Jitong knew that his old habit of being distracted was broken again. He had to call him a few words.

"Oh..." Yang Rui woke up in shock. He looked at Qian Changzuo and others beside him and smiled and said, "You're ready, right?"

"Yes, sir!" Qian Changzuo had already prepared. The projector had been moved, and the windows were curtains, but in order to wait for Yang Rui, the lights were still on. Seeing Yang Rui come to his senses, he arranged for the staff to start playing the video. Yang Rui came too suddenly, so he could only play the video recorded during the rocket experiment.

The light gradually dimmed. Under the light of the projector, there were gradually black and white images on the white cloth, but no sound. The first thing that appeared was a cruise rocket, like an aircraft, which was first carried by two researchers to the launch frame, then set the instrument parameters, add gasoline to start igniting the rocket's engine, and then it was ignited first, and then it was pushed out by a small rocket. According to previous introduction, this pulsed jet engine must be able to work normally at a certain speed. It has no compressor part and can only obtain relatively sufficient air by speed. In this way, gases can be generated inside the engine, and all of these gases are sent from the tail of the engine to allow the rocket to obtain thrust.

In the video, the cruise rocket starts to work on its own after taking off, and the flames at the tail of the engine are clearly extinguished. Under the guidance of the radio remote control of the companion aircraft, it turns like a person flying, dives or pulls up at a small angle. At this time, Yang Rui suddenly understands why the laboratory does not speed up the rocket. Five hundred and eight is the fastest speed of the twin-engine aircraft at this time. If the rocket is faster, it will not be able to track the remote control.

"It's such a pity." Yang Rui felt extremely sorry for thinking that this thing cost less than 3,000 yuan. Such a cheap cost is really a killer weapon for the poor country, but it can't be controlled. It seems that this tomahawk cruise missile is really not that easy to make. He turned to Bei Shoutong, who was watching with concentration beside him, and said, "Do you use it?"

When Yang Rui was distracted just now, Bei Shoutong not only communicated with Qian Changzuo and others, but also went to the laboratory to see the real thing. At this time, his face was full of regret and said, "If the radio interference and accuracy problems can be solved, no matter the army, navy and air force, it can be used. Basically, the bomber can do everything. If these two problems cannot be solved, I think... I can only make a remote-controlled target aircraft to improve the air defense capabilities of the troops."

"You can think easily. If this thing can only be used as a target machine, why do you have to set up a laboratory to study it?" Yang Rui could not see Bei Shoutong's expression in the dark, but he could still understand the root cause of his thinking. This is the case for those who have never seen the precise strike of the Tomahawk cruise missile.

After the first video about cruise rockets was played, the next one was a direct rocket. The open launch site in the video was erected with a launch tower and a rocket about fifteen meters high. The appearance was no different from that of modern rockets. After the researcher wearing a gas mask added fuel, the launch procedures were prepared one by one and after pre-ignition. The rocket rose to the ground within ten seconds. This time, the video was sound. Hearing the thunderous roar of the rocket engine, he saw that the wingless thing actually flew up, and the faster and higher, and the higher and higher, Bei Shoutong couldn't help but make a "ah" sound. His whole body was shocked.

The only thing that happened was the Type C Rocket, and the next one was the Type D Rocket. Its height is more than 20 meters and its diameter should be more than 3 meters. In the plan of the laboratory direct rocket project team, the Rockets are composed of a combination of Type A and Type B. At the same time, drawing on the appearance of Yang Rui copying it into the Long March 2 Rocket in high school physics, the bottom of these two stages will also be tied to some small rockets as a boost.

Although the D-type rocket is five or six meters taller than the C-type and is larger in size, it still goes to the sky safely and steadily in the film, but the flames and sounds are even louder. When it is launched, the entire launch site is filled with smoke from it. In the camera, the rocket flew into the thick clouds, and the video is over.

The light in the room was on at this time. Qian Changzuo smiled and went forward and said, "Sir, the direct-flying rocket is large in size, has a high engine temperature, and is complex in structure. The success rate of launch is very low. Since the experiment, the Type C rocket has been launched in total twenty-one times. It has been successful eight times, and its reliability has not been finally solved until now. The Type D rocket has only started experiments in the past three years, launched nine times, and has only succeeded once..."

"Why are there so few launches?" Yang Rui didn't care about his failure rate. He was just surprised that the laboratory funding had always been sufficient.

"The main reason is that after each launch, we have to analyze the reasons for the failure and then make modifications to the rockets. In this way, each launch will take two or three months to discuss the problem and determine the modification method, so we can only launch four times a year, and five more times. The C rocket was completely overturned three years ago and was successful after redesigning." Qian Changzuo said.

"After several experiments, the D rocket felt that it was not good to copy the C design. Now we are redesigning the plan. It is estimated that like C, it will take three to four years, and about twenty to twenty to twenty-five tests to basically mature. The E rocket, that is, the two rockets of C, are combined into one, and with some boosting and low heat, it may take five years to finally succeed. The total weight of this rocket exceeds 90 tons, the first-stage sea level thrust can reach 2,500 knives, and the second-stage sea level thrust is 2,500 knives..."

Yang Rui had no idea about the thrust of the Rockets. He listened carefully to a lot of data spitting out of Qian Changzuo's mouth. After he finished speaking, he asked: "Tell me two data. If you carry a five-ton warhead, how far can the Rockets hit and how high can they hit?"

The question of the five-ton warhead made Wang Jitong’s eyes flash. Qian Changzuo thought for a brief moment and gave a data: "Theoretical calculations, if you carry a five-ton warhead, the E-type rocket can reach a low-Earth orbit of about 300 kilometers; and the distance can exceed 8,000 kilometers. But sir, at the beginning of the rocket design, he did not expect to carry a five-ton warhead. The first-stage rocket may not require any modification, but the second-stage rocket will have to be greatly modified."

"This is the next thing." Yang Rui was a little satisfied when he heard that the Rockets could hit 8,000 kilometers. He had forgotten that this thing would take at least ten years of experimental period, and the structure of the two-stage rockets boosted the rockets will inevitably cause many problems.

"Yes, this is the next thing." Wang Jitong also said. What he thought was that it would be more than ten years later when the research of the Type E rocket was made. The international situation at that time must be different from the present. Maybe the rocket would really land on the moon.

"I'm very satisfied after reading it all." Yang Rui said to the main person in charge of the laboratory. "Rocket research is of great significance. If there is a meteorite hitting the earth, we will be helpless without a rocket."

Yang Rui's words caused a burst of laughter. They learned from Wang Jizhi that the Rocket Laboratory is the most expensive. The Rocket C rocket test flight costs tens of thousands of yuan, and the larger Type D is even more amazing. Each time it flies, it is a huge million yuan. Now, Type C can be said to be able to be finalized, and the Dante model will not be stable without 20 to 30 million yuan. This is only the material consumption of the Rocket itself, not including the salary and other expenses of hundreds of people in the laboratory, nor the investment of the entire experimental field itself.

The hundreds of millions of money were not provided by the government, but privately sponsored by Tianzi. Since this is the case, whether the project is carried out depends on Yang Rui's attitude. After receiving his affirmation, Qian Changzuo introduced that some of the problems with the direct rocket were still navigation control issues. The laboratory finally came up with astrological navigation tricks, but after research, it was also an unreliable design. It is really a difficult task to scale the stars on the rocket that is fast and vibrating.

Overall, the research and development of small computers based on transistors is becoming increasingly urgent. If there is a small computer, the internal control of the rocket can be automated. Many achievements in the sensor laboratory have been used for internal control and external monitoring of the rocket. Otherwise, the C rocket would not be able to succeed so quickly. However, none of the unified brains of many sensor information will analyze the information uniformly and execute the optimal solution according to the program, which makes the rocket in a state of staring at a state that can only be monitored and difficult to adjust in real time.

There are many questions, and the requirements are very urgent. When the sun sets, Yang Rui waits for the boat to leave, everyone has endless topics to talk about. In the corridor on the side of the cruise ship, looking at the people waving on the dock, Yang Rui smiled and waved to everyone. He just waited for the cruise ship to leave before he put down his hand to prepare to return to the cabin. At this time, Bei Shoutong suddenly said, "Sir, I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible..."

Bei Shoutong felt as if she was frightened when she saw the C rocket take off. It took several hours to say this. Yang Rui, who returned to the cabin, called him to sit down and smiled and said, "What new ideas do you have?"

"Sir, Dr. Qian just said that the E-type rocket can send five tons of things to low-Earth orbit. And it also said that objects in low-Earth orbit will not fall off immediately. They will only rotate quickly around the earth and slowly fall into the atmosphere after stalling?" Bei Shoutong recalled what he heard just now, and his eyebrows were extremely solemn.

"Yes! If the rocket can send the warhead to a height of 36,000 kilometers, then we can launch communication satellites, which are synchronous orbits, and satellites are forbidden relative to the earth." Yang Rui smiled. Although he didn't understand very much, he understood better than Bei Shoutong. He also thought about the satellite, but the problem was that the solar cells in the transistor laboratory were not mature yet, and the rocket could only reach a low-earth orbit of hundreds of kilometers. In the end, there was no suitable small computer. Even if a satellite was launched, that is, Dongfanghong, it would eventually turn into a dead star after sending dozens of days of noise, and it would have no effect.
