s: It’s a bit late, I’m sorry to ask for support.
The main reason why Wen Desi was so eager to put the satellite up was the need of the Chinese military and political agencies for world intelligence.
Precisely because they come from later generations, they are more and more aware of the benefits brought by artificial satellites.
They are really not used to doing anything without satellites.
Without satellites, no matter how good the intelligence is, we can't get it out.
In particular, the war in Europe is fierce, and China is very concerned about the situation there, but without reconnaissance satellites, it cannot grasp real-time intelligence.
Although Mr.
Wen still has unmanned exploration aircraft in his hands, and they also have many advanced exploration instruments from later generations.
But after all, the main job of these things is to conduct geological surveys.
It would be too wasteful to just use them as investigation tools.
And their speed is also relatively slow.
If it is necessary to detect the situation in distant areas, it will take longer for these things to rush to the scene, and the daylilies will be cold by then.
The most important thing is that these things are not replenishable, and if they are broken, they will be useless.
Although there are early warning airships now, which can play a part in investigation, airships themselves have many inherent limitations and cannot be completely relied on.
Therefore, Mr.
Wen urgently needs a killer weapon like a reconnaissance satellite.
The Taibai-1 launched by China now only takes 70 minutes to circle the earth.
It only takes 70 minutes to reach the scene no matter where you want to investigate.
Secondly, its detection range is very wide, and it is a piece of cake for it to detect hundreds of thousands of square kilometers at a time.
Moreover, with the current technology of other countries, it is almost impossible to detect its detection.
These advantages cannot be replaced by any kind of investigation equipment.
Of course, satellites also have limitations.
For example, they are greatly affected by weather and cannot distinguish targets that are too small, but these can be solved through technological improvements.
In addition to reconnaissance, the role of satellites in communications, navigation, meteorology, scientific research and other fields is even more important.
To be honest, although the Taibai-1 reconnaissance satellite has been launched into the sky, its performance is not satisfactory to Wen Desi.
Its resolution can only reach 3.5 meters in original space and time.
The United States’ spy satellites in the early 21st century had With centimeter-level resolution, it claims to be able to clearly read the headlines on ground newspapers.
This level of resolution is not even as good as the "World Eye 2" satellite launched in 2009 by Digital Earth Corporation, the original space-time civilian satellite in the early 21st century.
Its imaging accuracy is said to reach 0.46 meters.
And there is also the issue of lifespan.
Due to the current insufficient electronic signal transmission technology and low resolution of image signals, Taibai-1 mainly uses film to work.
Once the film is used up, this spy satellite is basically useless, although it has eight returns cabin, but it won’t take long.
Therefore, although its service life is three years, if it carries out high-intensity reconnaissance missions, it may be useless in less than two months.
However, although its performance is not ideal, it is still quite a high-tech black technology in this period.
In the original time and space, the first spy satellite "Discoverer 1" launched by the United States in 1959 had a resolution of only fifteen meters.
Compared with this "Discoverer 1", Taibai 1's 3.5-meter resolution is already quite advanced.
Mr.
Wen felt dissatisfied.
That was just because his vision was too high.
In that era, even the worst civilian satellites had centimeter-level resolution.
Taibai-1 is an experimental spy satellite.
After its successful launch, technicians began to collect its operational data and made some optimizations to the original backup Taibai-2.
The European battlefield is now a global hotspot, and the orbit of Taibai-1 is naturally set in Europe.
It circles the earth at a speed of 70 minutes, passing over Europe day and night.
Its work is extremely good.

The intelligence it collected by flying around Europe is dozens of times more than what the most experienced and knowledgeable spy could collect in a year.
This is something that has never been done before.
Only the indigenous inhabitants of this time and space can dare to imagine things.
The generals of the three armed forces and the heads of the four major intelligence agencies in the country were all shocked by this "super spy", and they all requested that their units be equipped with such awesome investigative tools.
On the morning of July 25, Taibai-1 sent back a set of photos, indicating that the warring parties on the Western Front had made major moves.
As can be seen in the photos, there are many more military trains on both sides than usual, and many trains are loaded with things similar to vehicles.
The satellite resolution at this time was not high enough to identify what it was.
However, the coded telegrams from both sides were no secret to Chinese engineers.
Soon China learned from the telegrams from both sides that they were preparing to use a new weapon to break the deadlock.
The British had high hopes for this weapon.
In order to keep it secret, they used a code name to call it "tank", which means "water tank".
Of course, the water tank cannot be used as a weapon, but this cannot be hidden from Mr.
Wen and others from later generations.
People in later generations know that this thing is an armored fighting vehicle, commonly known as a "tank" In this dimension, the "tank" thing is certainly not the first time it has appeared.
China had already been equipped with armored fighting vehicles long before the Sino-Japanese Guichou War.
However, at that time, it did not attract much attention in the military community.
This is not surprising.
Any new thing that comes out will be questioned.
Another very important point is that in the Sino-Japanese Guichou War, China's armored forces did not get much room to play, because many of the fighting locations at that time were mountains, hills and woodlands, which were not suitable for armored fighting vehicles. play.
Except for the outstanding performance of the Marine Corps' zzc1 1911-style "Otter" amphibious combat vehicle during beach landings, the other combat vehicles have become supporting roles and only made a profit in the street battles of liberating Pyongyang and Seoul. gained some face.
Moreover, what is even more criticized is that there are serious problems with the reliability of the tanks.
Chains were often dropped, and non-combat losses were several times greater than losses in combat.
Throughout the Guichou War, China invested a total of more than 720 armored combat vehicles of various types.
After two months of fighting, less than 30 of them were destroyed by the Japanese army.
However, they were destroyed due to non-combat reasons such as mechanical failures and roads.
There are more than 450 tanks in Wopu Street.
Of course, most of these tanks have been successfully recovered, but this failure rate is really speechless.
Well, in fact, the failure rate of early tanks before World War II was very alarming.
According to the Soviet army's own statistics, after their is2 traveled 200 kilometers, more than half of the tanks would collapse.
Not to mention Santoku's tanks, their Tigers had to hit the street after running an average of 100 kilometers.
Not to mention the tanks of World War I.
After a battle, if half of the tanks are not lying down, it is considered a blessing.
Compared with these, the performance of these Chinese tanks is already pretty good.
In fact, in the eyes of the great powers at that time, things like armored combat vehicles were not that unexpected.
Before World War I, many countries had similar research and development plans.
However, the poor reliability and frightening failure rate of early tracked vehicles made everyone unsure whether the effects of this thing could offset those shortcomings, because We are really not sure, so these things have long stayed on the drawings of laboratories in various countries, or in a model state, without being equipped at all.
The performance of Chinese tanks also illustrates the deplorable failure rate of such weapons, but their role in war has caused different debates.
After evaluating the performance of armored fighting vehicles in the Sino-Japanese War, military experts from many countries feel that they are a better street fighting weapon and can be used as a mobile fortress in street fighting to fully protect one's own infantry.
At the same time, they are also a good landing weapon and can effectively break through beach positions.
But that's all.
They didn't see it as a weapon that would change warfare.
Although the armored fighting vehicles in this dimension have developed faster than in the original time and space, the senior military leaders of various countries are still very skeptical about how effective they are.
Even Germany, which has conducted a lot of military cooperation with China and introduced tank technology, is the same.
Not surprising, the military is actually a very conservative organization, especially the older bosses, but these bosses happen to be in power.
In fact, before the outbreak of World War I in this plane, all the major powers had begun to speed up the development and equipment of armored combat vehicles, both the Allies and the Entente.

However, due to the distrust of the upper levels, this weapon did not play a very effective role, everyone.
Basically, this thing is used as an auxiliary weapon for infantry.
Even Germany, which had obtained relevant tactical information from China, did not use its tanks intensively.
Therefore, for a long time after the outbreak of the war, infantry, artillery and aviation were in the limelight, but there was no exciting tank battle.
But this regret is finally coming to an end today.
"Have they finally thought of using tank clusters to fight now?"
Wen Desi had a helpless smile on his face.
Xin Jie also smiled and said: "Yes, Mr.
Wen.
According to our intelligence, they had no choice but to use tanks to break the deadlock."
Because satellites are not very powerful now, in order to understand the situation more clearly, unmanned exploration aircraft are still used.
At this time, Wen Desi and others were watching the photos sent back from the front line by the unmanned exploration aircraft.
The armored fighting vehicle used by the German army is China's zzc2 type 1912 "Wolverine" fighting vehicle, which is a modified version of the T80.
Germany bought 200 of this tank from China, and also purchased the drawings and production license.
As you can see in the photos, the number of tanks being assembled has reached about 550.
Obviously Germany has also produced a lot of them.
The British and French forces on the other side are almost in the same time and space as before.
The tanks used by the British army look a bit like the Mark 4 type from the original time and space, and the number is about 500. 17, the number is about 400 vehicles.
"Mr.
Wen, the two armies are still gathering on the battlefield.
According to intelligence, the total number of tanks on both sides will be around 1,700 to 1,800."
Wen Desi smiled: "Okay, it can be regarded as a big tank battle.
Let the observation team on the front line pay more attention, and also deploy an unmanned exploration aircraft.
We will make this battle into a documentary, and we will make it into a documentary in the future.
It is a precious historical material and a good teaching material
