Siheyuan: Originally I just wanted to be a little transparent

In the command center of the Gansu Satellite Launch Base, Lin Shengli asked into the microphone in front of him: "One group, how is the situation of the satellite now?"

Soon, an echo came from the loudspeaker in the command center.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, according to data monitoring, everything on the satellite is normal."

"Currently, the satellite is in the shadow area of ​​the earth, and solar power supply has been temporarily stopped. The satellite is currently being powered by batteries."

Lin Shengli nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand."

"Attention of all departments, according to the original plan, the power supply status of the music transmitting device and signal transmitting device will be changed to battery power supply."

"At [-]:[-], the music signal will be sent out on time."

When designing the satellite, our scientific researchers considered the issue of the launch window.

Because it is uncertain whether the satellite will be behind the earth or facing the sun after entering orbit.

Therefore, an additional large-capacity battery is installed inside the satellite.

This battery is independent of the entire solar power supply system.

In this way, it can not only provide power supply for the satellite's solar panels when it is unfolded, but also provide power for music and signal transmitting devices when the satellite moves to the back of the earth.

However, the power of this battery is limited after all, so this battery will not power the satellite's military reconnaissance equipment tonight.

The equipment used for military reconnaissance will not be officially operational until the solar panels are officially started to generate electricity tomorrow.

After Lin Shengli gave the order, he quickly picked up the red hotline phone next to him.

After the call was connected, Lin Shengli said into the phone: "Report, the satellite data is all normal. We will send music signals to the world on time at [-]:[-] pm as planned."

"Yes, okay, I understand. I promise to complete the task."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Shengli stared deeply at the instruments in front of him that were beating with various data. He was always preparing for the moment when the world would listen to the voice of our flower growers.

The call Lin Shengli just dialed was to the higher-ups.

After all, the superiors, like Lin Shengli, were also anxiously looking forward to it.

You must know that the successful launch of the Dongfanghong-[-] satellite represents more than just a breakthrough in science and technology.

It has far-reaching significance for me in other aspects, especially its international influence.

Time passed by minute by second, and people who received the notification were all in front of the radio early.

At the same time, our publicity department has notified major publicity agencies in advance, and they have prepared the newsletter in advance.

Once the above notification is received, early tomorrow morning, the news of the successful launch of the first satellite independently developed and produced by our flower growers will be broadcast through newspapers and known to all our people.

When the time came to eight o'clock, Lin Shengli confirmed again: "One group, how is the situation of the music and signal transmitting devices now?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the current data shows that all devices are normal."

"When the time comes, you will be able to listen to the music transmitted by our satellite in front of the radio."

At this time, a radio for receiving music signals was placed on the podium in front of Lin Shengli.

In fact, in a strict sense, the music to be played is not sent directly to the world by satellite.

Instead, the music and signal transmitting device on the satellite transmits the pre-recorded music to our ground receiving device through the satellite signal, and then rebroadcasts it through the radio station.

After checking the time, there was still one minute left. At this time, Lin Shengli couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

And just like Lin Shengli, the people standing in front of the radio at this time also had nervous expectations on their faces.

When it reached [-]:[-]:[-], everyone finally heard a beautiful melody from the radio.

At this moment, our flower growers are playing our own voices in space to people all over the world.

When the familiar music of "The East is Red" played, the people standing in front of the radio couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

Lin Shengli, on the other hand, was listening to the intoxicating and familiar music while staring closely at the various data on the current instrument.

Although the mission of making our voices heard all over the world has now been completed, this satellite has another more important mission, waiting for everyone to continue to complete it.

Lin Shengli, the commander-in-chief, wants to switch the transmission signal of the military satellite to the military's satellite intelligence analysis station in the next period of time after confirming that the satellite's military reconnaissance function can operate normally.

The current situation is that because the power supply required by the entire military reconnaissance equipment is far greater than the music and signal transmitting devices, the existing battery cannot be supplied.

Therefore, the activation of the military reconnaissance part of the satellite has to be delayed until the next morning, when the sun hits the solar panels.

"Attention all departments, there are more important tasks waiting for us tomorrow, so tonight, we will be divided into two shifts. One will go to rest first, and the other will continue to monitor satellite conditions in real time. The shift will change at 12 o'clock in the morning. .”

"Comrades on duty must carefully record and monitor the movements of our satellites, and in case of emergencies, they must report and handle them in a timely manner."

"Comrades who are on the first shift now, the canteen will deliver meals to everyone later." "Okay, comrades who have to change shifts in the evening, hurry up and go back to rest."

After saying that, Lin Shengli sat back in his chair.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we are not tired and we will not go back."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, at such an important moment, we must stick to our posts."

……

After Lin Shengli finished speaking, the staff below all came up to ask for help excitedly.

In short, it is impossible to get them to leave their jobs!
Seeing how determined his comrades were, Lin Shengli stopped insisting.

However, even if I don’t go back to sleep, I still have to eat this meal.

So Lin Shengli ordered the staff to divide into two shifts to take turns to eat.

That night, everyone stayed at their jobs, paying close attention to the data coming from the satellite.

Although they had not slept all night, they were still energetic and motivated.

Lin Shengli looked at his watch and saw that it was already four-thirty in the morning.

"How is the situation of the satellite now?" Lin Shengli asked the staff beside him.

"Currently, all satellite data indicators are normal. After the solar panels start supplying power, the relevant equipment for military reconnaissance can be started." the staff member replied.

Soon, the satellite flying in space welcomed the first ray of sunlight after it took off.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the solar device has been detected to be working. It is estimated that the detection equipment can be started in 30 minutes."

While everyone was waiting eagerly, a piece of exciting news came from the loudspeaker.

Very quickly, just 30 minutes flew by.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that all the reconnaissance equipment is normal, the solar power supply system is normal, and the reconnaissance equipment can be turned on."

Hearing this, Lin Shengli nodded and said: "Okay, let's start the countdown now, five, four, three, two, one, start."

Following Lin Shengli's order, a red start button was pressed on the console.

On Dongfanghong [-], following the signal from the control console, the signal light of the TV camera on it began to flash, and the lens began to slowly expand and retract to focus.

After a while, the data was transmitted to the command center via the signal transmitting device.

"Report to the commander-in-chief that the reconnaissance equipment is operating normally, the power supply is normal, and the signal transmission is normal."

After listening to the staff's report, Lin Shengli picked up the phone next to him and dialed.

"Team Leader Sun, I am Lin Shengli. Currently, the military reconnaissance satellite is operating normally and signals have begun to be transmitted."

"Are you ready over there?"

"When I'm ready, I will transfer part of the authority of the military reconnaissance satellite to your side first. Subsequent signal reception will be received directly by your side."

"Comrade Shengli, everything is ready on my side to receive the authority of the satellite reconnaissance equipment." Team Leader Sun replied decisively.

Lin Shengli did not hang up the phone, but put the receiver on the podium. Then he picked up the microphone in front of him and said:

"Comrades, the military reconnaissance equipment on the satellite has now started working normally, and the signal transmission has been stable."

"Now, we need to transfer the authority of the reconnaissance equipment to the military, and start the 30-second preparation now."

After five, four, three, two and one, the command center of the launch base officially closed its authority over the satellite military reconnaissance equipment and began to hand it over to the military.

Immediately, Lin Shengli picked up the phone that had not been hung up and said: "Team Leader Sun, we have cut off the control authority over the military investigation equipment and handed it over to you. The rest is up to you."

"Okay, I understand, you have worked hard, we will take over the rest." Team Leader Sun replied on the phone.

At the military satellite intelligence analysis station, the staff were staring nervously at the instruments and equipment in front of them.

"Reporting to Team Leader Sun, we have successfully connected to the Dongfanghong-[-] satellite and successfully obtained control of the military reconnaissance equipment. Please give instructions." A military staff member reported loudly.

Hearing this, Team Leader Sun stood in front of the command seat and immediately began to take command.

"Comrades, it's our turn now. Keep your spirits up and pay attention to the data of the investigation equipment."

"Once the image data is received later, it must be developed as soon as possible."

After a while, a staff member handed the first developed photo into the hands of Team Leader Sun and said:
"Report, the first photo transmitted by the satellite has been developed. Please take a look."

After receiving the photo handed over by the staff, Team Leader Sun took a general glance and immediately trotted to the analysis room next door. (End of chapter)
