Chapter 839: All in is a Kind of Wisdom (Third update, please subscribe)
An unprecedented competition has thus begun. No matter how future generations evaluate it, space has now become a matter of national glory and national dignity.

Unlike other countries, Southeast Asia was the first to propose the idea of ​​entering space. In the past few months, the hottest topic in Southeast Asia has been space. As the first country to blow the horn of entering space, it is naturally very unpleasant to be beaten to the punch by others.

But although most Southeast Asians felt disappointed, they were more excited. After all, the achievements made by the Soviets proved one thing - it is possible to enter space.

Moreover, in the eyes of many Southeast Asians, the success of Sputnik 1 is definitely the most remarkable achievement they have ever known, even if it was achieved by foreigners!

But amidst the excitement, everyone was also asking a question - where is our satellite?
In response to outside doubts, at the instruction of Li Yian, the official residence spokesperson told the outside world that relevant questions would soon be answered by the Nanyang Aerospace Administration at a press conference.

Nanyang Aerospace Agency?

When was this established?

What kind of organization is it?
Of course, it is an administrative scientific research institution responsible for formulating and implementing Nanyang’s space program and conducting research in aerospace science and space science.

“It hasn’t been established yet, but it will be established in the next few days.”

The outside world's doubts can be ignored, but in the face of his son's question, Li Yian answered straightforwardly that Yuan Jialiu and his team were designing a new scientific exploration satellite. Not only did they need to design a new satellite, they also needed to modify the rocket.

"So, our satellite will be in space soon!"

Li Yixuan looked at his father with some excitement.

In response to his son's question, Li Yian seemed very calm and said.

"In fact, our space program is ahead of the Russians. If we wanted, we could have used the Wanhu-IV missile to launch a satellite into space last year... the Russian satellite with only a radio transmitter. There is no problem at all..."

Of course there is no problem with this. In terms of shooting altitude, the "Wanhu-4 Missile" is fully capable of sending small satellites weighing dozens of kilograms into space, and the success rate is very high.

"Then why don't we launch it?"

“This is politics!”

Margaret, who was standing by, explained for her husband that Li Yian had talked to her about this issue before and naturally knew what his concerns were.

More precisely, what is his purpose?

"Now is the era of competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. Nanyang is not suitable for the limelight. If you look at the newspapers, you can see what the reaction is from the United States. It is very manic."

Li Yixuan looked at his mother in confusion, and Li Yiyuan was about the same. At their age, they obviously couldn't understand what it meant to be the first to stick out. In the competition between countries, it is extremely necessary to hide one's shortcomings appropriately, just like Japan in another world. When the United States started the shopping mode, it actually laid the groundwork for Japan's decline.

Experience tells Li Yian that competition between countries is a test of patience and time.

Although it is a great pity that we missed out on the first artificial satellite of mankind and we need to make up for it now, it is extremely necessary from a political perspective.

After all, Nanyang is not strong enough, and the United States needs to pay for the milk powder of Nanyang children. No matter what, they have to pay for another ten years! That is hundreds of millions of dollars in aid a year, which is almost 1% of Nanyang’s GDP!
To spend a few dollars a year on milk powder...this is so shameless!

After all, the annual expenditure of Nanyang’s rocket program cannot catch up with the money for milk powder. One in and one out, it is definitely a huge bargain!

"That's one aspect of the consideration, but what do I think? The most important thing is the purpose. We will host the Olympic Games in six years. In order to allow the whole world to receive the signals of the Olympic Games and broadcast the games in real time, we need communication satellites."

Li Yian then explained to his wife and children what a communications satellite is and its function.

"…Because the satellite design is too complicated and too heavy, we did not launch a simple satellite. That satellite is actually a mobile radio signal transmitter. It has no other meaning except to attract attention." Margaret asked after listening to her husband's explanation.

"So when will we launch our satellite?"

"Just recently, we are currently designing a new satellite."

Li Yian replied.

"A scientific exploration satellite, very different from the satellites launched by the Soviets that only transmit radio signals, will allow us to understand the Earth at a deeper level."

"Dad, you mean that the satellites we launch in the future will be more advanced, right?"

Nodding, Li Yian said.

"Yes, our satellite is more advanced! There is no doubt about it!"

In fact, it’s a pity to think about it. Nanyang could have made a name for itself in the world - as soon as the communication satellite was launched into space, the whole world could have watched the rocket launch broadcast through satellite broadcasting within a few minutes of the launch. Now... we can only wait and launch a scientific exploration satellite first.

Scientific exploration satellites obviously cannot broadcast television signals. However, such scientific exploration is extremely necessary. After all, space exploration itself is a kind of scientific exploration, and making some scientific discoveries is also promoting the overall space cause.

Some things cannot be measured by money.

Just like the space exploration they conducted when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for space supremacy and the United States was the only one dominating.

"Once the satellite's technical problems are resolved, we will launch it as soon as possible. Then, you can go to the launch site to watch the launch."

Long before the Soviet Union launched the satellite, Li Yian had already made his choice. He had a good attitude. What's the point of competing for the title of the world's number one?

Just follow the plan step by step.

Step by step, the Soviet Union was used to stimulate the United States to put itself on the gambling table, and then go all in on the "space race". If they did not go all in, if they did not spend hundreds of billions on space development, how could they promote the advancement of human technology?
Although Li Yian can smuggle technology over, smuggled technology is only part of it. If you want to promote the progress of the system, you need the power of the system, and this is exactly the weakness of Nanyang, but it is the strength of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Therefore, no matter what, they need to go all in on the new track. If they are unwilling to go all in, then we need to find a way to make them go all in.

After all, Stud is a kind of wisdom!
As for whether to go to the rooftop or smoke a cigar.

Then we can only accept our fate.

After all, they are the ones who are going all in.

It's not a Nanyang all-in game. Nanyang just needs to follow the path pointed out by Li Yian.

As for the United States and the Soviet Union... I would rather die than let my friends die. If we must die, it will be a matter between one of them.

When a whale dies, everything comes to life. Nanyang can still benefit from it.

In short, whether they win or lose, it will not be bad for Nanyang. At least they can use their huge size and experiments to explore a path for mankind.
