Chapter 330 Powerful Automatic Track Laying Machines and Tunnel Boring Machines, Satellite Technolog

A few months later, a young engineer came running over and excitedly reported: "Engineer Li, our first physical automatic track laying machine has been assembled and is undergoing final debugging!"

Li Yang's eyes lit up and he immediately followed the engineer to the assembly workshop.

Pushing open the heavy steel door, the scene before them made everyone present gasp involuntarily.

A huge machine stands in the center of the workshop. It is so large that it almost takes up the entire space.

The silver-gray metal shell flickered coldly under the light, like a dormant giant beast, ready to wake up at any time.

"Oh my god..." an old engineer muttered to himself, his voice full of disbelief, "This is our automatic track laying machine? It is more magnificent than I imagined!"

Li Yang walked forward with a smile and stroked the smooth surface of the automatic track laying machine.

"Yes, this is our masterpiece," he said, his voice full of pride. "It will revolutionize the way we build railways."

Just then, a young engineer pressed the start button.

With a low hum, the giant machine slowly woke up.

Its various parts began to move, emitting the unique rhythmic sound of precision machinery.

Suddenly, a huge robotic arm extended from the front end of the automatic track laying machine.

This arm is like a giant's arm, easily grabbing a section of track weighing several tons and placing it accurately at the designated location.

The whole process was smooth and breathtaking.

"It's incredible!" exclaimed a middle-aged engineer, his eyes widening. "It moves so precisely, it's like it has life!"

Li Yang nodded. "This machine is equipped with the most advanced laser measurement and positioning systems. It can be accurate to the millimeter level to ensure that each section of track is perfectly aligned."

As soon as he finished speaking, the automatic track laying machine started a new round of work.

This time, it not only lays the track, but also fixes and calibrates it at the same time.

Everyone watched in amazement as a hundred-meter-long track was laid in just a few minutes.

"This... This is simply a miracle!" An elderly engineer was so excited that he was incoherent. "At this rate, our efficiency in building high-speed railways must be increased by at least ten times! No, even twenty times!"

Li Yang looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd with satisfaction, "Everyone, this is just the beginning. Next, let's take a look at another 'behemoth'."

He led everyone to the other end of the workshop, where a huge cylindrical machine was turning slowly.

At its front end is a huge disc with a diameter of more than ten meters, covered with sharp cutting teeth.

"This is our shield machine," Li Yang introduced, "It will be our weapon to conquer the mountains."

With a gesture from Li Yang, the shield machine began to run at full power. The huge cutter head began to rotate at high speed, making a deafening roar. Even the hardest rock was as fragile as tofu in front of this machine.

"Oh my God!" an engineer exclaimed, "This is simply a giant underground dragon! With it, is there any mountain we can't climb?"

Another engineer shouted excitedly: "Engineer Li, with these two 'magic tools', we will definitely be able to create miracles! We can build the world's most advanced and largest high-speed rail network in the shortest possible time!"

Li Yang looked around, seeing the mixed expressions of shock, excitement and pride on everyone's faces, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that at this moment, everyone realized that they were participating in a great project that would change the face of the country.

"Comrades," Li Yang said loudly, his voice full of passion, "What we hold in our hands are not just two machines, but the key to changing the destiny of our motherland! Let us use this key to open a brand new era for Yan Country!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole workshop erupted in thunderous cheers. Everyone was so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. They knew that they were witnessing and making history.

At this moment, a young engineer suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "Engineer Li, can we record the working process of these two 'magic tools' and show them to the people of the country? I believe that when people see how our high-speed rail is built, they will be full of confidence in the future of the motherland!"

Li Yang's eyes lit up. "What a great idea! We should not only record it, but also broadcast it live nationwide. Let the people of the whole country see how our motherland is developing at an astonishing speed!"

This proposal immediately received a warm response from everyone. Everyone started discussing how to arrange the live broadcast and how to demonstrate the power of these two "magic tools". The entire workshop was filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and motivation.

……

As night fell, Li Yang finally finished a busy day's work and returned to his office tiredly.

He loosened his tie, took a long breath, and slowly sat down in the slightly worn leather chair.

On the desk, a desk lamp emits warm light, illuminating the piles of documents and drawings on the desk.

Li Yang habitually turned on the radio to listen to today's news.

However, the voice coming from the radio made him sit up straight, his eyes wide.

"According to the United States, NASA successfully launched a new communications satellite today, which will greatly enhance the United States' global communications capabilities..."

Then, there was another piece of news: "The Russians announced that their latest generation of weather satellites have successfully entered the planned orbit, which marks another important step for the Russians in the field of space exploration..."

Li Yang turned off the radio and fell into deep thought.

As a time traveler, he knows better than anyone the importance of satellite technology to a country's development.

When I close my eyes, the history of human satellite development involuntarily emerges in my mind.

On October 1957, 10, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite in human history, Sputnik 4, which opened the prelude to the Space Age.

Soon after, the United States was not to be outdone and launched the Explorer 1958 satellite on January 1, 31.

However, when Li Yang thought of the satellite development history of Yan State, he couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

Although Yan State began satellite research very early, it was not until April 1970, 4 that it successfully launched its first artificial satellite, "Dongfanghong-24".

Compared with the other two countries, Yan State lagged behind significantly in this field.

Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He is well aware that satellite technology will play an increasingly important role in the future. Whether it is communication, navigation, weather forecasting, or resource exploration, it is inseparable from the support of satellites.

"We must catch up, no, surpass them!" Li Yang clenched his fists and made up his mind.

……

Early the next morning, Li Yang rushed to the Aviation Research Institute.

When he proposed to research satellite technology, the entire institute was excited.

"Mr. Li, you are finally interested in satellites!" a young researcher said excitedly, "We have long wanted to ask for your advice on this."

The director of the institute personally came forward and took Li Yang to visit their laboratory.

"Comrade Li, this is all the satellite-related information we have at present," the director said, pointing to the rows of filing cabinets, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, "Although we started late, I believe that with your participation, we will definitely catch up!"

Li Yang carefully flipped through the materials, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. Just as he was concentrating on his research, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Trigger the satellite engineer skill and unlock satellite technology from the 60s to the 21st century. ]

Li Yang was delighted and continued to read the information transmitted by the system carefully:

【Unlocking technologies include but are not limited to:

Satellite platform technology: including high-power solar cell arrays, high-efficiency batteries, precision attitude control systems, etc.

Payload technology: high-resolution optical camera, synthetic aperture radar, high-throughput communication system, etc.

Satellite navigation technology: Global Positioning System (GPS), Beidou Satellite Navigation System, etc.

Satellite remote sensing technology: multispectral imaging, hyperspectral imaging, laser ranging, etc.

Satellite communication technology: broadband satellite communication, mobile satellite communication, interstellar laser communication, etc.

Satellite propulsion technology: ion propulsion, Hall propulsion, plasma propulsion, etc.

Satellite material technology: carbon fiber composite materials, thermal control coatings, radiation-resistant materials, etc.

Satellite measurement and control technology: high-precision orbit determination, autonomous navigation control, satellite-ground integrated measurement and control, etc. 】

This massive amount of information flooded into Li Yang's mind like a tide, making him dizzy for a moment.

He held his forehead, took a few deep breaths, and tried hard to digest this advanced knowledge.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination and confidence. He turned to face his colleagues in the institute and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, our satellite research begins now!"

The people in the institute cheered and everyone's face was filled with excited smiles. They knew that with Li Yang's joining, their satellite research would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

In the following days, Li Yang led the team to work day and night.

They started with the most basic satellite platform technology and advanced their research step by step.

Li Yang's first focus was on the satellite's power system.

He drew a complex diagram of a solar cell array on the blackboard and explained to everyone: "We are going to develop a new type of high-efficiency solar cell, whose conversion efficiency is at least 50% higher than the existing ones. In this way, our satellite can obtain more energy and support the operation of more equipment."

A young engineer raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Li, is it possible to produce solar cells of this efficiency with current technology?"

Li Yang smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I have some new ideas. We can try to use multi-junction solar cells, combined with concentration technology, I believe we can achieve this goal."

Then, Li Yang turned to the design of the attitude control system. He quickly drew a precise gyroscope structure diagram on paper, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "This is a new type of fiber optic gyroscope. Its accuracy is ten times higher than that of traditional mechanical gyroscopes, and it is lighter and more durable. With it, our satellite can perform more precise attitude control, laying a solid foundation for subsequent missions."

The comrades in the institute listened attentively and took out their notebooks to record every word of Li Yang. They knew that these advanced technologies would completely change the aerospace industry of Yan Country.

In the following days, Li Yang led the team to overcome difficulties one after another. They developed a new ion propulsion system, which greatly improved the satellite's maneuverability; designed advanced radiation-resistant materials to enhance the satellite's survivability in the space environment; and developed a high-precision onboard atomic clock, laying the foundation for future navigation satellites.

Every breakthrough makes the institute excited.
