Chapter 52: Graduation thesis, you want to use theory to launch satellites?

Although the thieves haven't been caught yet, it can be confirmed that these documents were not stolen by enemy spies! The secrets inside have not been leaked!

Leader Zhang gave Qin Miao a complex look: "Young man, you're impressive, which unit are you from?"

"I... from Ha Gong Da."

"Ha Gong Da?"

"Yeah, I'm a freshman this year."

"Great! You're so young and already a detective!" Leader Zhang laughed heartily: "In this case, you deserve the chief credit!"

"Cough cough, no, Leader Zhang, I just said a few words; the real solving of the case is thanks to these public security comrades." Qin Miao hurriedly said: "The smell of this public toilet is no ordinary strong; they don't mind the dirt, they don't fear fatigue, they are the ones who deserve the chief credit. By the way, have you found the briefcase?"

"Comrade, we still owe you a lot for your reminder! Our Dalian Public Security Bureau thanks you! This briefcase... really hasn't been found! It shows the thief still hasn't let go of greed; he threw away the contents but kept the briefcase. We'll follow the clue, surely we can catch the thief!"

If the case can't be solved, the public security bureau will be restless; although we haven't caught the thief yet, we have found the stolen documents, which already lets us set down the big stone in our hearts! As for the thief... as long as we keep an eye on that briefcase, we can catch him!

Wang Jizhang, chief of the Dalian Public Security Bureau, at this moment looked at Qin Miao with a face full of gratitude.

The remaining debris still needs to be salvaged; this job indeed requires not fearing the stench, but... nobody is complaining, they feel pleased in their hearts, this case-solving speed is fast enough!

"Old Wang, write a report and send it up; the merits will be decided by superiors, you keep chasing, striving to catch the thief soon!" Leader Zhang said: "Comrades working on Project 8291, let go of your burdens, continue doing what you should be doing! By the way, tonight we'll have seafood!"

Living off the mountains, eating from the mountains; living off the sea, eating from the sea—Dalian this place never lacks seafood.

Returning to this era, Qin Miao really hasn't eaten seafood before; seeing the big crab served, Qin Miao skillfully took off the crab legs, used a toothpick to poke, and the meat inside the legs was pushed out.

After eating the legs, he sucked a mouthful, then it was time to eat the crab roe inside……

Wait!

Seeing the gaze from the side staring at him, Qin Miao immediately felt embarrassed: "Um, Old Huang, how do you eat this crab roe?"

"Use a spoon!"

"Oh oh, thanks, this is my first time eating crab, I really don't know how to start……"

While speaking, Wang Jizhang came over holding a wine glass: "Comrade Qin Miao, I represent the Dalian Public Security Bureau in thanking you; come, let me toast you!"

"No, our public security police aren't easy; protecting peace for the people... I toast you!"

"Qin Miao, I have to represent the personnel of Project 8291 and toast you a glass……"

"Old Huang, don't, I Qin Miao will toast you!"

"Don't be in a hurry, we folks are all too old; although we have lots of experience, our thinking is restricted, lacking flexible adaptability; someone like you, a clever trickster, is exactly what our project urgently needs."

"No... Old Huang, I'm only a freshman; what I've proposed are just some small clever improvements; I'm not as strong as you imagine; even if I truly joined the project team, it wouldn't mean much."

Engaging in such a project requires hiding one's name and toiling day after day; Qin Miao... well, he still has vanity.

Zhou Ding let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright, that's not something we can force either, however, once the huge wave reaches shore, this launch vehicle will be handed over to you Ha Gong Da; we'll write a report and submit it, formal project approval still needs some time, you need to get ready first."

"Yeah, this launch vehicle isn't hard; the key is……" Qin Miao paused a moment then spoke: "The positioning issue is of great importance; a missile launch vehicle needs to drag the missile around, constantly knowing where it is, so that when needed it can set up and fire."

Ground-fixed launch silos aren't needed; they were measured in advance, even the targets were pre-loaded into the missile internals; just fuel it and it can fire out.

Underwater nuclear submarines rely on their own inertial navigation system; if you know the submarine's own position, you can calculate the launch parameters; if in the future, inertial guidance components would be the size of a match head, easily soldered onto a phone's circuit board.

Now?

The inertial navigation components on a submarine are at least the size of a wardrobe; that thing simply can't be fitted onto a car! Moreover, the price is quite high!

How can a missile launch vehicle always know its own position?

Facing the doubtful gazes of the crowd, Qin Miao continued speaking.

"After entering Ha Gong Da, I met a senior sister named Yang Can; she is also an outstanding disciple of Teacher Zhou; her graduation thesis wrote about the dual-star satellite navigation system; I think this system is good; if it could truly be developed, then our missile launch vehicle would always know its position! It could also be expanded to other fields……"

Zhou Ding had just peeled a big shrimp, which fell onto the table.

What did you say?

That's just a senior undergrad's graduation thesis; you want to show it to those aerospace elders? And you actually want to make it real? Do you know how many domestic research institutes are applying for satellite projects, only to be rejected all because of funding issues?

Old Huang's expression also turned solemn: "Dual-star positioning?"

"Yes, currently the US and USSR are researching satellite navigation systems; using the time signals from any three satellites in space, one can determine its own position; but because the satellites aren't synchronized, so often dozens of satellites are needed to meet demand, our country can't afford that."

Qin Miao, however, isn't afraid; achieving dual-star positioning now would not only occupy the best frequency band, but also boost the entire military's combat power and serve civilians—multiple benefits in one!

Moreover, now it's under the name of Project 8291; this kind of key national defense project is worth any expense!

"My senior sister is truly smart! After racking her brains, she came up with using two synchronized satellites to achieve real-time positioning; although it's more complex than the US-USSR version, it can greatly reduce system costs……"

In the distant northeast, Ha Gong Da, Yang Can, who was writing her thesis in the library, suddenly let out a big sneeze.

Zhou Ding's expression was complex; Qin Miao, this is the plan you proposed, now they're pushing it onto Yang Can?

You little brat, are you afraid of getting too much credit?

"Keep going!" Old Huang's face was full of excitement.

"I'm not entirely clear either; after all, this dual-star positioning is my senior sister's; I've only heard a bit about it……"

"Please have your senior sister come to the Capital! The Capital's aerospace department will hold a symposium on dual-star positioning!"
