v2 Chapter 1048： Played Follow Four

Bao Zixuan didn't know, because of a small purchase of sodium metal. It actually created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Soviet leaders to get Gorbachev to get the full support of the KGB; and it was also at the behest of Chernenko. I just don't know if Gorbachev will thank him, but it doesn't seem to be that important.

Compared with the United States and the Soviet Union, other countries may be more concerned about this matter.

Xiangjiang is still part of the Commonwealth of Nations. If such a big thing happened, it must be investigated clearly. If Heiyun Group really wants to build a Sun Cannon in Xiangjiang, then it must not let him go.

Huaying is currently negotiating on the Hong Kong issue. As the most important company in Hong Kong, Heiyun Group will not stimulate it no matter what. Although returning to mainland China has become a foregone conclusion, the British still want to make a last-ditch effort.

The British attach great importance to whether the Black Cloud Group is developing solar cannons. When it comes to the strategic position of an enterprise, although Heiyun is already an out-and-out strategic enterprise, it does not develop and produce strategic weapons, and the UK does not have much to say. Once Xiangjiang returns to mainland China, the British will never allow the Black Cloud Group to be too powerful.

At the same time, the sun cannon must be sent to space through a rocket, but there is no rocket launch base in the UK at all, and even the research and development of rocket projects has been suspended. It is estimated that apart from the British, other countries really can't do things that can't be done by themselves.

The United Kingdom carried out research on launch vehicles and satellites in the 1950s; in September 1964, the development of the Black Arrow launch vehicle was announced. From June 1969 to September 1970, the Black Arrow rocket carried out three test flights. Except for the second suborbital flight, the other two failed. Among them, the third test flight in September 1970 carried a " "Oba" satellite.

On October 28, 1971, "Black Arrow" successfully sent an artificial satellite named "Prosper" into a space orbit with a perigee of 547 kilometers, an apogee of 1582 kilometers, and an inclination of 82.06 degrees in the fourth launch. The launch site was at the Umela launch site in Australia.

After the Soviet Union, the United States, France, Japan and China, the United Kingdom has become the sixth country to have an independent launch satellite. After that, the UK stopped developing its own launch vehicle, and the Black Arrow became the only successful launch vehicle in the UK, and the satellite it carried became the first and last satellite launched by the UK itself.

On July 29, 1971, the British House of Representatives passed a resolution to stop the development of domestic carrier rockets and instead use American rockets to launch satellites.

The cancellation of the Black Arrow prevented Britain from becoming a major rocket power in the world. Once Britain was in World War II, rocket dynamics were the best in the world.

Due to the cancellation of the Black Arrow, the UK needs to use foreign launch vehicles to launch satellites, and the UK is no longer able to launch satellites independently. Britain is no longer the mighty empire on which the sun never sets.

At the same time, the United Kingdom has become the only country in the world that has successfully launched its own artificial satellite, but voluntarily gave up the development of carrier rocket technology.

There are different opinions on the UK's initiative to cancel the relevant research and development of rocket technology. Some economists believe that the British domestic economy has not allowed it to develop rocket and satellite technology. After all, space exploration is a very expensive activity, and most countries cannot afford it.

Some international analysts also believe that there is no suitable launch site in the UK. Even if you want to build it is difficult, the land area and geographical location do not allow it.

Although Australia is a Commonwealth of Nations, it is more nominally managed by the United Kingdom; the country itself has no relationship with the United Kingdom. Always borrowing the Australian launch site, after all, that's not the case. And even if the British did not develop rocket technology, they did not want other countries, especially the Commonwealth countries, to master it.

Rockets are in the same line as missiles. If the Commonwealth countries have too advanced missile technology, they will not take Britain seriously. Instead, it is better not to develop and let Australia play alone. Without the support of the United Kingdom, Australia cannot play at all, and this confidence is still there.

Some analysts believe that the move is to curry favor with the United States. I don't even develop rockets, this sincerity is enough!

Now that I know that the Black Cloud Group, a colonial enterprise wants to independently develop rocket technology, and even produce strategic weapons, of course, it must be investigated clearly. MI6 has already started operations to intensify its investigation into the relevant intelligence of the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan.

After all, it is within the sphere of influence, and the British can easily obtain information. For The Sun's report, MI6 dare not use it as a reference, it is a blasphemy to their profession.

The information obtained by Iron Maiden showed that the Black Cloud Group did not develop rockets and related technologies, nor did they have a construction plan for the Sun Cannon, so they were relieved. In fact, he had already guessed that Bao Zixuan would not dare to do this, but it was safer to investigate clearly.

There is no evidence that the Black Cloud Group is developing rocket technology and plans to build a solar cannon, and the British are also a little lost. Heiyun Group develops rockets, then the UK can use them. It will even persuade the other party to go to the UK to establish a rocket production base. Now that there is nothing, it is not good to make excessive demands.

The country that pays the most attention to Xiangjiang is none other than Huaxia. The return is imminent, and a prosperous and stable Hong Kong is crucial. Although Heiyun Group has a lot of investments in mainland China, Bao Zixuan is definitely a patriotic businessman. But one code is one code, if the other party really wants to develop and produce strategic weapons, Huaxia will never allow it, especially in the territory of Xiangjiang.

But you can't ask questions just because of reports from foreign tabloids. Not only will it make people laugh, but it will also affect the relationship between the mainland and the Black Cloud Group. There have been some discords before, and we don't want other misunderstandings at the moment of negotiation.

Investigation and evidence collection is one aspect, and professional analysis is also required at the same time.

Qian Lao, the aerodynamic expert and the absolute authority on rocket technology, was invited to the high-level office.

The top executive said with a smile, "I invited Mr. Qian here to hear your opinion. Do Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan have the ability to develop and produce that so-called sun cannon?"

"Even if the Black Cloud Group does not have research and development, will the United States and the Soviet Union carry out related research and development, and will it pose a threat to China's national security?"

A country's high-level, thinking that the problem will be more comprehensive. Especially when it comes to national security, we don't dare to slack off.

Qian Lao's achievements and strength are recognized by the world; if he can give the answer through technical analysis, it will save manpower, material and financial resources to investigate.

Qian Lao has seen relevant reports that Heiyun Group purchased sodium metal for the research and development and production of solar cannons, and really wanted to laugh. But at this time in the top-level office, you should pay attention to your words and expressions; it is the minimum courtesy to keep your balance.

Qian Lao: "I can say responsibly that it is impossible for the Heiyun Group to buy metal sodium to produce solar cannons. Forty years ago, this kind of weapon could have a certain deterrent effect, but now it has no effect at all."

"The designer of the solar cannon is Hermann Obert, a famous German rocket expert, but when it is implemented, it will be discovered. More than 1 million tons of metal sodium components need to be transported into space and then assembled."

"According to Huaxia's current rocket carrying capacity, it needs to launch at least 100,000 times, and there can be no mistakes in the middle; otherwise, all previous achievements will be lost. The United States and the Soviet Union are both space powers, even if their rockets with the most advanced capacity and performance need more than 3 It takes 10,000 launches to complete the assembly of the solar cannon."

"Actually, experts from the United States and the Soviet Union have already analyzed the results. Otherwise, the two countries could not have been so calm. They must have known that this was a random report by the media, or that competitors came out to slander and make trouble."

Hearing the conclusion given by Qian Lao, the top management was relieved. In rocket technology and space exploration, Qian Lao is the way forward. Since he believes that the Black Cloud Group, including the United States and the Soviet Union, cannot have Sun Cannons, then there is nothing to worry about.

Top level: "Since Mr. Qian has already given his opinion, there is no need to have so many scruples. Isn't Heiyun Group looking for metal sodium from several domestic companies! We are opening up supply, isn't this a good opportunity to earn foreign exchange! As for International media reports, with a clear conscience, are afraid of what they will do.”

In fact, the French government is also concerned, but it happened in Xiangjiang, and many things are not easy to participate in. At the same time, I also want to see how the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China have expressed their views. No matter how you look at it, it is not their turn to participate in the Hong Kong issue.

Enterprises to achieve a certain level, really can not make big moves indiscriminately. Otherwise, not only the media and the public, but the whole world may be implicated. Obviously, the Black Cloud Group has already prepared this kind of strength.
