C2541 Calculating Ruler
As a manned space station in Han Country, the size of Coconut Island's sky city was getting bigger and bigger. In the future, the space launch mission of the Han Country would mainly rely on the base here. After all, it was closer to the equator and could better make use of the earth's rotation speed. It would save fuel.
Now, on the launch platform, the Long March 2 bound rocket was quietly standing on top of it. Outside the top cover, the bright Han Country flag was extremely eye-catching.
The third manned space experiment was going to start like this. Although it was a bit dramatic, it was still acceptable to prioritize the overall situation.
"Mr. Ilyuchinko, welcome to our aerospace city." A tall scientist from Bear Country brought a few assistants into the launch command hall of Han Country. When he entered, the people from Y Country outside still had angry looks in their eyes.
Why can the people from Bear Country enter, but they can't? Now, if they didn't want to use the techniques of the Han Country, they really wanted to have a confrontation with the Han Country!
People of Y Country couldn't enter, but the people of Bear Country had no problem. This was the result of everyone's discussion. After all, the spacecraft this time needed to connect with the space station of Bear Country.
Ilyuchonk was the student of the famous rocket expert of Bear Country, Koriyov. At the same time, he was also one of the designers of Peace's space station. As such, he was a senior astronaut. He was naturally proud of the Aerospace Technology in Han Country. Originally, he didn't think much of it.
Hmph, the Han people only knew how to imitate. For example, the Divine Ship of the Han people. It was no different from the Alliance's flying ship in the Bear Country. Ilyuchino had blatantly imitated the Han Country. It was a rather disdainful act. Therefore, when he heard Qin Guan's welcome, initially, he didn't think much of it, but after a while, his eyes widened.
"What is that?" Ilyuchino looked at the big screen on the wall.
"This is our main screen." Qin Guan said. This screen was so tall that it occupied the entire wall of the launch hall. The rocket that was standing on it looked very realistic. Ilyuchono rubbed his eyes. That's right, he could even see the details of the rocket clearly. Their equipment was really very advanced!
However, it was just a display equipment. It didn't matter. This was just sensationalism.
"Please show our customers the rail design." Qin Guan shouted.
The rocket on the big screen disappeared and switched to another interface. The whole screen was divided into two parts. The left side was a curve. It marked one point after another, where the orbit changed. It was clear, and on the right side, it showed a 3D change pattern. The Earth was shown using the principle of X-ray vision, every orbit of the ship, it was marked with different colors, very clear!
Now, there was a 3D display, but this would consume a large amount of computer resources. Therefore, for the professional aerospace orbit, Bear Country used a 2D display. Anyway, they could understand it, but now, when they saw the 3D interface... The performance of the computers here... More than a hundred times that of their space center, right?
"We invited you here to coordinate the rescue plan, and the most important part is the docking. So, we would like to ask you to verify whether our parameters are correct." Qin Guan said.
"Alright, let's get to work!" Ilyuchonke shouted. They were here to coordinate. They had thought that they would need to work together after coming here. They did not know that Han Country had already calculated. They only needed to verify whether there was a mistake in Han Country's calculation.
The assistants took out their tools from their pockets, including Ilyuchinko himself. He also took out the tools that he had been using all this time: the ruler!
Aerospace engineering was the same as other engineering projects. It required a large number of calculations. Before the invention of the computer, the computing ruler was widely used for calculations.
Its transportation was relatively fast and efficient, and not only could it be accelerated and subtracted, but it could also be used for calculations. It could also be multiplicated, much faster than computing on paper. And, it could also be used in indexes, equations, triangular-shaped functions, the square meter could even be calculated by square meter, and so on. It was a must-have for engineers.
Ilyuchonk's ruler of calculations was given to him by Coruliov. It had been polished until it was shiny, and there were many scales on it that could not be seen clearly. However, he was quite clear about every kind of calculation.
This kind of calculation. The ruler of calculations was formed by five straight lines, parallel to each other. They locked onto each other, allowing the middle bar to slide along the length and direction of the other two bars. The two bars on the outside were fixed, so their relative positions would not change. When moving the deficit within the bar, the scale would change with each other. When one reached the corresponding position, one would be able to find the result of the calculation. It was a very simple simulation calculator.
Although they were a little arrogant earlier, now that they were doing this kind of calculation, looking at their calculations, Qin Guan could not help but say: "Sorry, may I ask, do you need this kind of thing?"
The calculating ruler was once widely used in the country. In the past, when developing rockets, they used this kind of thing, even if it was a nuclear bomb. It was calculated using a handshake computer. But now, the Han Country had long changed. It was the newest notebook of the Han Chip Technology. They would give as many as they wanted.
And now, seeing that their calculations were really troublesome, Qin Guan couldn't help but take out a calculator and give each of them a calculator.
A calculator was a very simple tool. There were many buttons on it. All kinds of numbers, adding, subtracting, and multiplying could be sent out through voice, advanced scientific calculator. There is a black and white LCD screen on it. It was used to display the results of the calculations, as well as a small piece of solar battery. It was used to replenish electricity. This kind of calculator was just an insignificant product of the Han Chip Technology Company.
When they saw Qin Guan take out the calculator, these guests immediately revealed joyful expressions. "Yes, yes!"
In the Bear Country, even the highest level of the aerospace department did not have enough calculators. Most of the people used a ruler. The engineers of Han Country were present. They showed their respect and relied on these things. They had made progress in the aerospace industry and were competing with the Planetary War Plan of Y Country. It was not simple at all.
In fact, the calculator was only used for temporary calculations. Everyone had a computer, so it was easier to enter the program into the calculator!
With the calculator, they still needed to use paper. They calculated there for half an hour and gathered the information. Then, Ilyuchino said to Qin Guan, "That's right. Now it seems that the orbital parameters are completely correct."
He handed the calculator to Qin Guan and said, "This is for you."
"No need. I'll give it to you." Qin Guan said.2
