Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1130 Not good!

"Comrade Gao Zhendong has a new paper?" Gao Zhendong wanted to publish a paper, and the first hurdle was the National Defense Working Committee. The leader of the National Defense Working Committee said with a smile.

"Yes, he just sent it to us. According to him, he will not care about it anymore after he makes it. He asked us to review it and then hand it over to the Academy of Science and Technology to find a channel for publication." said the chief engineer of the Defense Work Committee.

"Huh? Just ignore it after it's done? No subsequent applications? This is not like his style." Generally speaking, Gao Zhendong's achievements, even those more theoretical ones like lasers, have a large number of subsequent applications. It is rare to see someone directly declare that he will just ignore it after it's done.

"I've read the paper. It's a result of cosmology. It really doesn't have many subsequent practical applications. I guess it was discovered by chance while he was studying satellite communications."

"Cosmology? Wow, Comrade Gao Zhendong's vision is getting farther and farther. It doesn't matter if there is no practical application. We must slowly develop purely theoretical things. In the past, we were only concerned with filling our stomachs and keeping our houses, but now things are slowly getting better. Someone still has to go out and do theoretical research in all walks of life. Comrade Zhendong has made the right move." The leader was not only concerned about Gao Zhendong's business.

"Well, there's nothing sensitive about this paper, so I'll pass it on to the National Academy of Science and Technology?"

"Turn around and ask them to pay more attention."

Thirty minutes later, at the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry of the National Academy of Science and Technology.

"It's interesting that the latest paper of our department's committee member was transferred from the Defense Work Committee." A comrade laughed.

"That's not surprising. A lot of Commissioner Gao's work is sensitive. It's worth being happy that the National Defense Committee is willing to release his paper. Haha." The research results of many comrades cannot even be published.

"Then I have to take a good look at what our youngest committee member has researched." A comrade smiled and took the freshly printed paper from the creaking printer.

He was reading a paper, but as he read on, the smile on his face disappeared and he became serious.

"What? Is there something wrong with this paper?"

"No problem, not only is it no problem, but it's also a great job!"

"How big a job is it?"

"It's big enough to be published in Nature or Science, right?"

"Really? Let me see!" Another comrade also became serious, this was indeed a big job.

As he watched, his face was full of excitement.

"What a lousy name this comrade has come up with. The title of this paper doesn't match the content at all, right?"

"...Yes, it is indeed a strong support for the Big Bang model. There is no problem in publishing it in Science or Nature..."

"2.7K microwave background radiation, hey, this is something we come into contact with every day, but no one thinks about it in this direction."

"Some people are studying this, but have not produced any results yet. This time we are ahead of the curve." Originally, this result was not published until a year later, and then a revision was made in 1965 regarding the specific temperature value.

"Publish it as quickly as possible, to Nature or Science! If they are not interested, we will contact our comrades in the north and have it published in their journals."

Unlike the fields of computers, lasers, etc., we do not have any authoritative journals related to cosmology. After all, it has only been a few years since the liberation, and we have no time to study this thing.

For a potentially significant achievement, comrades naturally hope to publish it in the most authoritative journal possible.

"There is no English version of this. How can it be published in journals like Nature? This comrade is also amazing. He can kill but not bury."

Comrades still prefer to publish in Nature. The reason is very interesting. Compared with the Citigroup guys, John Bull has more scientific exchanges with us, and their scientists visit us more frequently. Although John Bull arrived late in terms of relations with us, it is true that he got up early.

"Forget it, let's find someone to translate for him. I heard that this comrade is very busy at work and probably has no time at all. Let's not bother him. After the translation is done, just ask him to review it again. This task needs to be done first."

"Okay, in addition to the English version, we will also prepare a Russian version."

Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the end of July, in the northwest, a new rocket was vertically transferred from the rocket factory to the launch tower.

The comrades at the base were busy and communicating excitedly at the same time.

"I never thought that a new satellite would be launched so soon."

"The last one was launched just over a month ago, and the second one is about to go up."

"It shows that our scientists are confident and are able to move forward in unison."

"..."

There were far fewer people in the launch command center this time, mainly satellite-related staff, unlike the people who came from all directions when the first satellite was launched.

Looking at the rocket being transported, a comrade said: "If my calculations are correct, tomorrow will be a good window."

"Don't worry, we can transfer it in time."

"Well, the comrades over at the satellite have finished checking it. Now it's our turn." For the rocket launch center, which had only experienced its first launch, the second mission still made them nervous. In other words, they regarded every launch as the first mission.

"We will soon have our second satellite in the sky, hahahaha."

With a loud bang the next day, on the night of July 1963, 7, our second satellite was successfully launched into space. "The satellite has entered orbit accurately..."

Following this announcement, cheers broke out among the comrades.

Success again! Every success is an accumulation for them.

At this time in space, the satellite has separated from the satellite bracket on top of the third-stage rocket, and slowly stretched out the solar cells on both sides of its body in space, like a big bird spreading its wings.

In the clean space, the satellite appears very dazzling under the bright sunlight.

"The satellite has now flown to the Western Hemisphere. I really want to see the pictures it takes right now."

"Don't worry, it will be back in more than an hour."

The orbit of the second satellite is not much different from that of the first one, and it takes a little over 100 minutes, less than two hours, to orbit the earth.

From the time the satellite was launched to the time it entered orbit, it had already flown a long distance and was no longer over our country.

Comrades are anxiously awaiting the return of the satellite. After all, it is different from the first one. To a certain extent, the first one was a victory just because it could enter orbit accurately, and everything else was just incidental. But this one has a mission payload.

Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly a comrade reported: "Satellite communication signals have been intercepted again..."

"Connect now!"

"Satellite communications connected..."

"Hurry, hurry, take a picture and bring it back!"

The comrade in charge of sending commands moved his fingers on the keyboard and trackball, and an invisible command was sent to "Experiment No. 1" through the large antenna outside.

The satellite quickly started moving, and a compressed picture began to slowly appear on the computer screen. On the color monitor, the photo was still black and white, but in the comrades' imaginations, a picture of white clouds, green fields, blue sea and yellow earth was slowly unfolding.

It's not that the computer is slow in displaying the images, it's that it's too slow in sending them.

"Yeah, that's very clear."

"That's Bo Hai, right? It must be Bo Hai!"

"Look, look! The Great Wall. Is that thin line the Great Wall?"

"Yes, that should be it!"

"Is this the Fortress of Sijiu? The city gate can be vaguely seen."

After receiving the order, the satellite in the sky took the first satellite photo of the capital in our history. This not-so-big photo was extremely beautiful in the eyes of the comrades.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" The satellite designers looked at each other, with tears in their eyes.

Comrade Gao Zhendong's advice and technical support are of great importance. We have to thank him first for the rapid realization of the image remote sensing satellite. Moreover, the transmission is almost semi-real time, not the kind that requires returning to develop the film.

Returning to develop film has the advantages of developing film, but this semi-real-time process is undoubtedly more flexible.

"The second photo started to be sent back..."

While the satellite is still in the sky, comrades once again began to try remote control photography. In addition to remote control, this satellite can also perform image remote sensing tasks at a fixed time and location, and transmit photos back when passing over our country.

The second photo began to slowly appear. It was of several provinces south of the capital. As the photo slowly unfolded, a comrade in charge of launching the weather window shouted.

"not good!"

The comrades all looked at him. Isn't this normal? What's wrong with it?
"Oh no, oh no, call the capital right away!"
-
In the middle of the night in Beijing, Gao Zhendong, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

Lou Xiao'e stood up to comfort the two children who were frightened awake, and Gao Zhendong rushed into the south room and grabbed the phone.

"Comrade Zhendong, get ready to go out and come to the Emergency Management Bureau immediately!" The person on the phone was the leader of the Defense Working Committee, and his tone was serious.

The Emergency Management Bureau, a department that was established not long ago, was almost forgotten by Gao Zhendong. The main reason was that its presence was very low in normal times. Although Gao Zhendong held the title of technical consultant of the Emergency Management Bureau, he did not have any work.

But once there is work in this kind of department, it may not be a small matter, like now.

Gao Zhendong turned around and said something to Lou Xiaoe, then packed up his things and went out immediately. At the dark door, a car was already waiting for him.

Gao Zhendong got in the car and the SUV sped away.

In less than half an hour, Gao Zhendong had walked into the gate of the Emergency Management Bureau. At this time, other people were rushing over one after another. Gao Zhendong even saw his classmate, Xue Chongli.
