Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Time unknowingly entered the year 59. After many rounds of unmanned spacecraft launch tests, all major and minor problems found in the tests were solved, and the authorities finally decided to realize the launch of a manned spacecraft.

"Brother Ren, this is the first manned spacecraft launch. Should we broadcast it live on television to the world?" After confirming the launch method and time, Staff Officer Ye was a little confused about whether to broadcast it live on television.

Although the tests of unmanned spacecraft launches have been very successful, and the test monkeys in the cabin have been perfectly recovered each time, it is always better to be safe than sorry.

If an accident occurs during the live broadcast, Staff Officer Ye is worried that the negative impact on the advancement of Dongda's aerospace business will be irreversible.

So to be conservative, most people think it is better to use live editing and broadcasting, which will give them room for maneuver.

Live broadcast is characterized by strong timeliness, high credibility and high realism. During the live broadcast, all the conditions at the launch site are synchronized with the viewers who are watching on TV. The viewers can know the situation at the site at the first time. The credibility of such communication is almost unquestionable and has the strongest persuasiveness.

It can be said that the real-time, effectiveness and communication effect of live broadcasting are completely incomparable to live broadcasting.

Even the impact is at least an order of magnitude different.

From the current perspective, the development of the aerospace industry is just a waste of money, and the benefits generated are limited. The income from the sale of satellites and satellite broadcasting is just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge investment in the aerospace industry. Therefore, in this regard, Ren Zhong has always advocated increasing transparency in the aerospace industry.

Get some rewards in terms of the social benefits of having an impact.

Because enhancing people's sense of pride is a very important thing. Although the technological craze that has exploded in the University of Tokyo over the past decade has greatly reversed the self-confidence of the entire University of Tokyo from the situation of being passively beaten for a hundred years.

However, in the eyes of ordinary people in the world, the image of the University of Tokyo is still relatively weak. For the people of the great powers and those third world countries, although the University of Tokyo now produces a lot of things, its overall impression is still difficult to be associated with advanced technological countries.

At least at first impression, not many people from other countries would think that the University of Tokyo is a technological powerhouse.

It is not that the development speed of Southeast University is not fast enough. In fact, in the eyes of the real upper class in the West, Southeast University is already very powerful. That is because they are constantly obtaining development information from Southeast University.

However, ordinary people do not have so much information. If the first manned space mission in the world of Bright Sword can be broadcast live, this program will obviously have a subversive effect in enhancing the awareness of the entire world of Bright Sword about the scientific and technological level of Southeast University.

Ren Zhong recalled the first manned spacecraft of Big Bear and the first moon landing of Rogue Eagle in the main world. Both were entering outer space, but their influence on the world was completely incomparable.

Even though there is indeed a difference in the technical difficulty of the two space activities, the impact of live broadcast on global television cannot be underestimated.

From Ren Zhong's point of view, it would be best to broadcast the show live to the world. This is a truly groundbreaking technological breakthrough, and no other live broadcast will be more worthy of being recorded in history.

This not only elevates the status of the University of Tokyo to an incredible height, but also subtly demonstrates a deterrent effect on the great powers!
It truly achieves the best effect of defeating the enemy without fighting.

The current development process of the University of Tokyo certainly does not want to encounter any obstacles, but with its continuous impact on the world market, the rapidly growing University of Tokyo may become a strong rival in the eyes of the great powers in a few years.

Without special deterrent measures, economic conflict will be inevitable.

In this regard, if it is just military pressure, the strength of the University of Tokyo has not yet reached that level, but manned space activities can be perfectly combined with strategic strike force. With such capabilities, the deterrence to major powers is self-evident.

Because this technology can be almost seamlessly transferred to strategic strike capabilities.

"If possible, I suggest that we choose live broadcast to fully display mankind's first space exploration activity." Ren Zhong said after a long pause, "In terms of technical maturity, our manned spacecraft has undergone many tests and has no problems with its core functions. The monkeys who performed the astronaut test did not suffer any harm. I personally think that the possibility of our first manned flight being successful is very high."

Ren Zhong first expressed his opinion, and then explained, "Our space activities this time cannot be viewed from the perspective of the present, but from the perspective of the evolution of the situation in the future decades. We are not only leading the development of global aerospace, but also pulling strong competitors into this big event. A live broadcast can not only greatly enhance our Dongda's reputation in international scientific and technological development, but more importantly, trigger a competition between Big Bear and Rogue Eagle in space."

The space race is inevitable, but a space war has been almost impossible in the past hundred years. Ren Zhong thought of the main world's Star Wars, a grand plan that was a combination of overt and conspiracies, which directly exhausted a superpower. So now, can similar actions be taken in the world of Bright Sword?

Through the first manned spacecraft, we will see if we can lead Big Bear and Rogue Eagle towards the space race and let the great powers enter the sea of ​​stars ahead of time.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhong felt excited. "If we broadcast it live, when our astronauts are the first to appear in space, it will surely be a great stimulus for the two superpowers, so I suggest broadcasting it live as much as possible."

This is a big strategic issue.

For Staff Officer Ye, there is naturally more to consider than just launching a manned spacecraft itself.

Ren Zhong's opinion is very important to Staff Officer Ye, because from a strategic perspective, based on the decades of development of the University of Tokyo, almost no one has more say than Ren Zhong.

The path that Dongda has taken now is something that people could not have imagined more than a decade ago. Not only has the development of science and technology completely changed, from having to import matches and nails to an industrialized country with a full range of industries with Dongda's footprints on land, sea, air and space, but the development of the entire Dongda society is still being doubted and adapted by many of its own people, not to mention the great powers.

But for people like Staff Officer Ye who are at the helm of certain aspects, they feel these things very clearly, so they look forward to a better future.

In the minds of these people, recreating the heyday of the Tang Dynasty is no longer a goal. In the current situation, everyone is aiming to count the heroes of the present time and realize the wishes of people for hundreds of years with the efforts of one generation.

So even though there are some risks in live broadcasting a spacecraft launch, after Ren Zhong analyzed the pros, cons and significance of it, Staff Officer Ye is inclined to use live broadcast as a drastic measure!
As the commander-in-chief at the first manned spacecraft launch center, Professor Qian is under a lot of pressure.

He temporarily put aside all other matters and focused all his attention on the launch.

Regardless of whether it is a live broadcast or a live relay, Professor Qian has to consider the issues of on-site recording and signal propagation. Fortunately, Ren Zhong had already provided the entire transmission plan to the scene, and with the recent breakthroughs in wireless communication technology research, now after testing, live signal propagation, including connecting to satellites to achieve signal relay from space to the ground, has all been tested and matured.

In the third and fourth test spacecraft tests conducted previously, the entire system was fully tested, with stable signal transmission and clear images.

But now a new problem has arisen, that is, the content of the live broadcast cannot be modified during the process.

Therefore, Professor Qian and his team are now carefully selecting the settings of TV camera angles and the selection of content.

"We must avoid shots that easily expose performance parameters. During takeoff and in space, we try to focus on the astronauts' performance. In addition to a set of close-up shots of the rocket during takeoff, we try to use wide panoramic shots and astronaut shots to switch back and forth during takeoff to ensure that our rocket parameters are not easily deduced from the video by experts." Professor Qian made the request.

"Professor Qian, we have made improvements as required. Through the analysis of the footage from the most recent launch, our lens settings and switching screens now expose very few performance parameters. The footage of our rocket size and spacecraft dimensions has been partially blurred, a slight deformation filter has been added, and the color has also been adjusted. The color of the rocket jet during takeoff has also changed to a certain extent. This has made it more difficult to analyze our propellant materials." said a professor in charge of the live broadcast content.

"In addition, in terms of displaying the flight trajectory, we and the team at the measurement and control center have achieved directional translation of the flight trajectory display. The real trajectory graphics are displayed on our internal controller, but we have translated them before displaying them on the large screen for external broadcasting. If someone analyzes them through the video, they will not be able to get our real trajectory."

"Very good. We also need to confuse the transmission effect of the spacecraft communication device and hide our current air-to-ground wireless communication rate indicators. We will also appropriately reduce the image quality of the data transmitted from the spacecraft to the local satellite communication receiver after entering orbit. There are very few countries that have our air-to-ground wireless communication technology. There is no need for us to expose all our true strengths." Professor Qian continued.

"Honestly speaking, I think our wireless communication speed is still beyond the reach of our competitors even if we reduce it by half." Professor Qian has first-hand information about Ren Zhong. He is familiar with some technical indicators of the wireless communication technology used by both the Rogue Eagle and the Big Bear when they entered space and landed on the moon. By comparison, there is naturally a big difference with what the University of Tokyo has mastered now.

These technologies can not only be used in aerospace, but according to the prospects described by Ren Zhong to Professor Qian, the greatest use of wireless communication technology will still be in personal communications. In the future, we will even realize an ideal world where everyone can be connected at any time.

In this regard, although it sounds a bit magical now, Professor Qian has 100% confidence in Ren Zhong and firmly believes that there will be such a day in the future.

Since he returned to China and joined Ren Zhong as the head of aerospace research and development, he has achieved so many incredible things, and now he can even send people into space. When he just returned to China, who would have dared to imagine that such results would be achieved so soon.

"Yes, Professor Qian, we could have adjusted the picture quality. After the spacecraft entered space, our live broadcast signal came in, and after forwarding, we reduced the picture quality by half and played it out. We simply told the outside world that the signal transmission capability has attenuated in space more than a hundred kilometers away, and the picture quality supported by our signal has decreased. I think TV viewers watching the live broadcast can accept this explanation." The professor in charge of the TV live broadcast nodded.

"Are there any problems with the rocket part now?" Professor Qian asked the person in charge of the rocket after he had settled the live broadcast issue.

"Professor Qian, there is no problem with the rocket part at the moment. The rocket is ready now and the fuel has been delivered to the warehouse near the site. We can refuel and launch at any time according to weather conditions." The person in charge of the rocket said confidently.

This rocket has passed several rounds of actual launch tests, and judging from the results, it has basically sent the spacecraft to the specified altitude in accordance with the designed performance targets.

"What about the spacecraft? What are the current test results?" Professor Qian asked.

"Reporting to Professor Qian, all parameters of the spacecraft during on-site testing are normal." The professor in charge of the spacecraft replied.

"In terms of climate conditions, have we determined the time period suitable for launch?" Seeing that everything was ready, Professor Qian turned to the person in charge of weather forecasting and said.

"Professor Qian, according to the current weather forecast, the best weather conditions will be around 1 a.m. the day after tomorrow and around 3 p.m. three days later. We can choose these two time points for the launch," responded the meteorological director.

Professor Qian thought for a while and said, "Our first choice is 1 o'clock the day after tomorrow, and 3 o'clock three days later is a candidate. Next, everyone should prepare according to this schedule!"

After Professor Qian confirmed the time, the TV station issued a rolling forecast of the first live broadcast of a manned spacecraft and began to announce it to the world!
After this news came out, the entire world of Bright Sword suddenly became boiling!

Before this, Tokyo University’s experimental launch had been kept secret, and no one knew that Tokyo University had come up with this big move!

Almost without any surprise, it occupied the headlines of various local media. After receiving this news, many people were ready to stay in front of the TV to witness the birth of a new era and the first step of Blue Planet's conquest of the universe! (End of this chapter)
