Chapter 384: Satellite Technology

Allen's words echoed in the sealed basement, and a dangerous glint flashed in the eyes of the five Intelligence Officers.

"Finally," Allen lowered his voice, "formulate an action plan, including subversion, kidnapping, and even..."

He did not finish, but everyone understood the unspoken meaning.

Just as the Star-Spangled Country was plotting against Li Mingyuan, the victorious Long Country was immersed in immense joy.

The news of the successful test explosion of the Mushroom bomb swept across the country like a heatwave; from south to north, from east to west, every person in Long Country was thrilled. At the military industrial base, a grand celebration banquet was being held.

"Cheers! To Chief Engineer Li! To the future of Long Country!" Dean He raised his glass, tears shimmering in his eyes.

"Cheers!" everyone shouted in unison.

Li Mingyuan was surrounded in the center of the crowd, wearing a polite smile on his face, but his mind was racing with a thousand thoughts. He knew this was only the beginning, and the real challenges were still ahead—the Star-Spangled Country would not let it go, especially since he also knew about that "Clock Rollback" plan.

After three rounds of drinks, Li Mingyuan found an excuse to leave the noisy banquet hall.

"Dean He, I'm feeling a bit dizzy, I'm going back to the laboratory to organize some data first."

"Go, go, you're the star today, do whatever you want!" Dean He, already flushed from drinking, patted his shoulder and laughed.

Returning to the laboratory, Li Mingyuan confirmed that no one was around, gently closed the door, and took a kraft paper bag from the deepest part of the drawer; this was the technical data he had brought back from 2024, smuggled over using the system's spatial storage function.

He carefully opened the paper bag and took out a document marked "Primary Chip Technical Data." This was a brief introduction to early Chip Manufacturing Process that he had downloaded from the Longteng Technology servers; although it was museum-level technology for 2024, placed in the 1950s, it was simply a dimensional strike.

"System, I want to start researching this data."

【Detected that the host is researching chip technical data, triggering Heaven-defying Insight, current Insight Value: 15,620】

Li Mingyuan studied the data with full concentration, from the most basic semiconductor theory to Photolithography Technology, from wafer preparation to circuit design. As his reading deepened, one technical term after another gradually became clear in his mind, and various principles and process flows automatically assembled like a jigsaw puzzle.

"This thing is on a completely different level from the primitive photolithography equipment we made before..." Li Mingyuan muttered to himself. Previously, he had led the team to create the most primitive Photolithography Technology, but the precision was still too low, at most only usable for making some simple circuit boards.

【Insight Value has broken through the critical point, triggering technology unlock】

【Congratulations to the host for unlocking the complete design blueprints for the "3-micron process chip production line"】

"Holy crap!" Li Mingyuan almost jumped out of his chair, "Jumping straight to 3 microns?"

You have to know, Intel only launched the world's first commercial microprocessor in '71, using a 10-micron process, and this system gave him a 3-micron design scheme directly, equivalent to skipping over twenty years of technical generation gap!

Li Mingyuan was so excited his hands were shaking slightly as he flipped through the design blueprints generated by the system; from cleanroom specifications to exposure machine parameters, from developing equipment to etching processes, every detail was meticulously detailed to an infuriating degree.

Li Mingyuan was immersed in the technical details when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck—where is this chip best used? Of course, in a Missile Guidance System!

"Holy crap, if this is used in the missile guidance module, the precision will instantly increase by more than ten times!"

He quickly took out another stack of blueprints; this was the missile design scheme they were currently developing. The precision of previous missile guidance systems was limited, relying mainly on mechanical devices and simple circuits, but if replaced with this micro-chip...

Li Mingyuan excitedly drew on his draft paper, and the design scheme for embedding the chip into the guidance module quickly took shape. According to his calculations, this new type of guidance system was not only smaller in size and lower in power consumption, but most importantly, the precision could be improved by at least an order of magnitude, changing from "hitting an area" to "hitting a building."

"My Long Country is awesome!" Li Mingyuan couldn't help but punch the air in celebration.

【Chip technology triggered an upgrade in missile guidance technology, obtaining "Precision Guidance Module Design Scheme"】

Just as Li Mingyuan was immersed in the excitement of chip technology, he noticed another document in the kraft paper bag, with a label that read "Overview of Basic Space Communication and Satellite Technology."

"Let's take a look at this too..."

He opened the document; this was an introductory popular science material he had found on the Longteng Technology aerospace department server, introducing basic rocket structure, orbital mechanics, and satellite communication principles.

Li Mingyuan was completely captivated; he almost forgot to breathe, his eyes fixed on that knowledge which might be basic to modern people, but was simply like a heavenly book in the 1950s.

【Detected that the host is researching space technology data, triggering technological linkage】

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining three breakthroughs: "Multi-stage Rocket Structural Design", "Satellite Orbital Dynamics", and "Basic Space Communication"】

"Damn! It broke through just like that?" Li Mingyuan was surprised to find that the system had directly filled in all these knowledge points completely, with not only theory but also practical operation schemes.

He picked up a pen and began to write frantically on the paper. From the basic structural design of the rocket to propellant formulas; from the satellite's power system to attitude control; from orbital injection precision to the construction of ground receiving stations... a complete "from zero to one" rocket and satellite R&D roadmap gradually took shape under his pen.

"Damn, if this is pulled off, Long Country will be at least ten years ahead of the whole world!" Li Mingyuan was ecstatic.

It was already late at night, but he felt no sleepiness at all. Outside the laboratory came the laughter of drunks and stumbling footsteps; those were the scientists returning to their dorms after the celebration banquet. Li Mingyuan turned a deaf ear, continuing to immerse himself in his "Space Project."

He planned the material requirements in particular detail—High-temperature Alloy, special fuel, electronic control systems; ground station construction—large antennas, receiving equipment, data processing centers; telemetry and recovery—Tracking Radar, recovery parachute systems, landing buffer devices; data application—satellite photo analysis, wireless communication, weather forecasting, and so on.

"With a satellite, it's like having a God's-eye view; the Star-Spangled Country will never be able to move troops and deploy generals secretly again," Li Mingyuan said to himself.

【Satellite technology planning complete, obtaining the "Dragon Nation Space Program" framework】

The sky was beginning to brighten; Li Mingyuan rubbed his sore eyes and stretched. He looked at the thick stack of design schemes and technical roadmaps on the table and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sleep, then go report to the old leadership."
