Chapter 338 8 horizontal and 8 vertical railway networks, military satellites
As the last test of the UHV transmission system was completed, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief and a gratified smile appeared on his face.
He stood in front of the big screen in the control room, watching the green indicator lights light up one after another, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.
"Comrades," Li Yang turned to face the tired but excited team members, his voice full of gratitude, "After more than two months of unremitting efforts, the world's first ultra-high voltage transmission line has finally been built. This not only solves the problem of nuclear power plants, but also opens up a whole new field for my country's power industry."
Zhang Guoqiang, the once gloomy chief engineer of the nuclear power plant, now has a joyful smile on his face.
He walked forward, shook Li Yang's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, thanks to your foresight, the nuclear power plant has not only resumed normal operation, but its production capacity has also increased by nearly 30%!"
Li Yang smiled modestly, looking at everyone present, "This is a joint achievement of all of us. Without everyone's efforts, none of this would be possible."
Just then, a young staff member hurried into the control room with a document in his hand. "Engineer Li," he said breathlessly, "The Ministry of Railways called and said that the high-speed rail project is ready. We hope you can go there as soon as possible."
Li Yang nodded, knowing that a new challenge was coming. He turned to the team and said, "Comrades, our work here has come to an end for now. Next, I will go to the High-Speed Railway Research Institute. You continue to monitor the system operation and report any abnormalities immediately."
On the way out of the nuclear power plant, Li Yang's thoughts had already flown to the high-speed rail project. He recalled the automatic track laying machine and shield machine he designed, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.
……
It was late at night when we arrived at the High-Speed Railway Research Institute.
But the institute was still brightly lit and the engineers were busy working.
"Engineer Li, you are here!" Director Wang Mingyuan came up to him with an excited look on his face. "The automatic track laying machine and shield machine have started working, and the effect is better than we expected!"
Li Yang nodded, "Take me to see it."
They came to a huge sand table with densely packed routes marked on it. Wang Mingyuan pointed at the sand table and excitedly explained: "This is the eight horizontal and eight vertical high-speed rail network we are planning."
Li Yang carefully observed the sand table and quickly sketched out the layout of the entire road network in his mind. The "eight horizontal" refers to:
Coastal channel: stretches from the northeast to Hainan.
Beijing-Shanghai Channel: connects the capital and the economic center of Shanghai.
Beijing-Guangzhou Channel: runs through the north and south of Yan State, directly from the capital to Guangzhou.
Beijing-Kowloon Channel: connects Beijing and Kowloon.
Qingyin Channel: From Qingdao to Yinchuan, across the Yellow River Basin.
Land Bridge Channel: From Lianyungang to Alashankou, it is an important part of the New Eurasian Land Bridge.
Shanghai-Kunming Channel: connects Shanghai and Spring City, and runs through the east, middle and west of Yan Country.
North-South Passage: From Manzhouli in the north directly to Pingxiang in the south.
The "eight verticals" are:
Fengtian-Yangcheng Passage
Beijing-Hong Kong Island Channel
Datong-Zhanjiang Channel
Baotou-Fangchenggang Passage
Lanzhou-Yangcheng Channel
Beijing-Spring City Passage
Baotou-Haikou Passage
Lanzhou-Zhuhai Channel
Li Yang's eyes wandered over the sand table, and he noticed that many routes converged on the coastal areas. He turned to Wang Mingyuan, "I see you focus on the routes connecting the inland and the coastal areas?"
Wang Mingyuan nodded, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. "That's right, Mr. Li. We have taken the country's development strategy into consideration. The coastal areas are the most economically developed areas in my country and the forefront of opening up to the outside world. Closely connecting the inland and coastal areas can promote the flow of resources and accelerate the development of inland areas."
Li Yang nodded approvingly. "This is very thoughtful. Such a layout will not only promote economic development, but also enhance the country's overall strength."
At this moment, a young engineer came running over in a hurry, "Engineer Li, Director Wang, there is something wrong with the automatic track laying machine, we need you to go over and take a look."
Li Yang and Wang Mingyuan looked at each other and walked quickly towards the construction site.
In the dark night, the huge automatic track-laying machine stood beside the rails like a dormant beast. The workers gathered around the machine, their faces full of anxiety.
"What's going on?" Li Yang asked as he approached.
Liu, the person in charge, wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained, "Mr. Li, the machine suddenly stopped while laying the track. We checked it several times but couldn't find the problem."
Li Yang nodded, took a deep breath, and walked to the automatic track laying machine. He carefully observed every part of the machine, and gently stroked the control panel with his fingers. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"I think I found the problem," Li Yang said, opening the control box. Inside, a seemingly ordinary screw had loosened, causing the circuit to be disconnected. He tightened the screw skillfully and closed the control box.
"Try it." Li Yang said to the operator.
The operator restarted the machine, and the automatic track laying machine made a low roar and slowly moved. The track was laid on the ground smoothly like a ribbon.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene. Engineer Liu excitedly shook Li Yang's hand and said, "Engineer Li, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we might have delayed the construction schedule for several days."
Li Yang smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. I will check all the connection parts regularly in the future. Prevention is better than cure."
After dealing with the problem of the automatic track laying machine, Li Yang rushed to the construction site of the shield machine without stopping. The huge shield machine was advancing slowly and steadily underground, and every inch of progress meant that a new tunnel was taking shape.
Watching these behemoths working in an orderly manner, Li Yang's heart was filled with pride. He knew that these advanced machines would greatly speed up the construction of the high-speed rail network and inject strong impetus into the country's development.
After returning to the institute, Li Yang convened all the main responsible persons to make the final deployment of the high-speed rail network construction. He emphasized the principle of safety first and required strict control of every link.
"Comrades," Li Yang said in a firm and powerful voice, "we are carrying out a great project that will change the face of our country. It is not just the construction of a railway, but also an important step for our country to move towards modernization. I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome."
After the meeting, it was already early in the morning. Li Yang stood in front of the window of the institute, with a busy construction site in the distance, brightly lit. His eyes passed over the scene in front of him, as if he saw the future high-speed rail speeding across the land of the motherland.
However, Li Yang knew that his work was far from over. He had already begun to think about the next project in his mind: a military satellite.
The next morning, Li Yang returned to his laboratory.
He sat at his desk with several sketches spread out in front of him.
These sketches were filled with complex structural diagrams and calculation formulas, which were exactly the military satellite designs he had in mind.
Li Yang is well aware that there are essential differences between military satellites and civilian satellites.
Civilian satellites are mainly used for peaceful purposes such as communications, meteorological observation, and resource exploration, while military satellites are directly related to national security and military strength.
His designs mainly focus on three aspects: reconnaissance satellites, communication satellites and navigation satellites.
The reconnaissance satellite was the part that Li Yang was most concerned about. He sketched a streamlined satellite shape on the drawing, and then marked various advanced optical equipment on it.
This satellite will be able to clearly observe ground targets from space, providing important information for military decision-making.
"The optical system is the key," Li Yang muttered to himself, "We need an ultra-high-resolution camera that can clearly capture the details of the ground from hundreds of kilometers in the air."
He sketched the structure of the camera in detail, including a special lens group, sensitive photosensitive elements, and a sophisticated image processing system. This camera can not only work in the visible spectrum, but also perform infrared and multi-spectral imaging to meet various complex observation needs.
Next, Li Yang began to design communication satellites. Unlike civilian communication satellites, military communication satellites need to have higher security and anti-interference capabilities.
"We need a completely new encryption algorithm," Li Yang thought, quickly writing down a complex mathematical formula on paper, "This algorithm must be able to resist the most advanced decryption technology to ensure that our communications are absolutely secure."
In addition to encryption technology, Li Yang also designed a special antenna system that can form a highly directional narrow beam, greatly reducing the possibility of the signal being intercepted by the enemy.
Finally, Li Yang turned his attention to navigation satellites. He knew that accurate positioning systems were crucial to modern warfare.
"Our navigation satellite must have extremely high accuracy," Li Yang said to himself, "and also have strong anti-interference capabilities."
He designed a multi-band, high-power signal transmission system that can overcome the influence of the atmosphere and provide stable and reliable navigation signals. At the same time, he also conceived an advanced atomic clock that can ensure the extremely high accuracy of satellite time, thereby improving the accuracy of positioning.
Just as Li Yang was concentrating on his design work, the door of the laboratory was gently pushed open. His assistant Xiao Zhang poked his head in and said cautiously: "Engineer Li, it's already noon, do you want to go eat something?"
Li Yang then realized that he had been working for the whole morning. He stretched himself and said to Xiao Zhang with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me. Let's go to the cafeteria together."
On the way to the cafeteria, Li Yang's mind was still flashing with the details of the satellite design. He knew that this project was much more difficult than any of the previous ones. But he also understood that only by mastering these cutting-edge technologies can the country's security be truly ensured.
In the cafeteria, Li Yang simply ate some food and hurried back to the laboratory. He knew that time is life and every minute and every second cannot be wasted. Because in this silent space race, whoever masters advanced satellite technology first will have the initiative in future wars.
