Chapter 445 Launch Vehicle

Yunnan Province, Kun City, next to Dianchi Lake, Panshan Group Headquarters.

Laboratory!

Liu Tao is busy, he is manufacturing parts for launch vehicles.

At the beginning, it is naturally impossible to build those large launch vehicles, the cost is too high.

As a practice, for testing, only a small launch vehicle is needed.

Launch vehicles are very complicated, but also very simple.

In the future, even undergraduate students of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics can build launch vehicles, but they are small launch vehicles.

After returning to Kun City, Liu Tao finished his affairs and began to develop small launch vehicles.

The first thing is to complete the design of the three major structures of the rocket, the rocket body structure, the power unit system and the control system!

Others want to do it, just the simplest structure, or copy the structural design of other rockets, this work can not be completed in one or two days.

But Liu Tao has an item upgrade system, which seems much simpler in this regard. His work efficiency alone is equivalent to that of a rocket research and development team.

It took a full month, and a 7.6-meter-long launch vehicle has been manufactured.

In this month, the rocket body, engine, fuel tank, etc. were fully manufactured.

After carefully transporting the 7.6-meter rocket ten kilometers away and arranging all the work, including monitoring, Liu Tao's carrier rocket was finally ready for launch.

The carrying capacity of this carrier rocket is 3 kilograms.

The launch site, although called a launch site, is actually a concrete floor that has been urgently constructed for more than a month. Here are engineers from the aerospace system who were organized and coordinated by Liu Tao. On the screens of computers, a group of engineers are staring.

"Start the countdown!" Liu Tao looked at the time and counted down: "10, 9, 8, 7"

"3, 2, 1! Ignition!" The ignition program started automatically, and the igniter inside the rocket responded.

The hot flames sprayed out from the bottom of the rocket, generating a strong airflow that pushed the rocket into the sky.

During this period, accompanied by the loud roar of a tiger, the rocket took off.

The rocket took off steadily and flew towards the clouds.

Various data and situations were constantly reported to Liu Tao.

The rocket continued to rise and break through the clouds. When the ascent fuel was burned out, the liftoff distance reached 26.3 kilometers, and it had entered the stratosphere.

It can be said that this launch has achieved the predetermined goal.

Liu Tao began to improve this launch vehicle. After all, it was a small launch vehicle before, and the next one is a large launch vehicle.

And a large launch vehicle, of course, cannot just launch a rocket, but also carry a test satellite.

In a serious state, time always goes very fast, and time has entered September unknowingly.

September 22, this day is destined to be recorded in the history of Japan and the world.

Plaza Hotel, New York, USA.

The Plaza Hotel was built in 1907 and is located on 59th Street in New York, USA, across the street from Central Park and facing the General Square to the east.

The Plaza Hotel is one of the landmark buildings in New York City. Due to historical reasons, it is no longer a simple hotel. It has witnessed the development of New York and carried the historical changes of New York. It has become a symbol of the city of New York.

There was once a saying to introduce the Plaza Hotel: "Nothing that happens in the Plaza Hotel is unimportant."

Since its opening in 1907, the Plaza Hotel has been the first choice for celebrities from all walks of life to stay when they visit New York due to its unique geographical location.

The guests served by the Plaza Hotel range from kings, presidents, ambassadors to celebrities, business celebrities, and social elites. Everyone who can stay here is not a simple person.

On September 22, the Plaza Hotel once again witnessed history. This historical moment is enough to ensure that the Plaza Hotel will continue to be well-known for decades to come.

This historical moment is naturally a five-nation agreement.

Just today, the finance ministers of five developed industrial countries, including US Treasury Secretary James Baker, Island Finance Minister Takeshita Noboru, Federal German Finance Minister Gerhard Stodenberg, French Finance Minister Pierre Bergber, and British Finance Minister Nigel Lawson, and the governors of the five central banks gathered at the Plaza Hotel in New York for a closed meeting that lasted several hours.

Afterwards, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the five countries signed the Plaza Accord, which is well known to the world in the eyes of reporters and media who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.

The agreement stipulates that the yen and the mark should appreciate significantly to recover the overvalued dollar price. After the signing of the Plaza Accord, the five governments will jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market to pull down the dollar and make the dollar depreciate in an orderly manner.

Once the Plaza Accord was announced, it was quickly reprinted and widely publicized by media from various countries.

Liu Tao personally arrived in Hong Kong one day in advance for this day.

When the news from the other side of the ocean reached Hong Kong, Liu Tao couldn't help but jump for joy.

The time to skin and cut Japan has finally arrived. The next ten years, twenty years, thirty years, or even forty years will be lost for Japan.

The five countries signed the Plaza Accord. In name, the agreement stipulates that the yen and the mark should appreciate significantly to recover the overvalued dollar price.

In fact, it is nothing more than the United States needing to recover its losses, and the knife in its hand is directed at its allies "Japan" and "West Germany". Perhaps it is not appropriate to call them "allies", because perhaps in the eyes of Americans, they are fat sheep or their own dogs.

Sure enough, when the news of the Plaza Accord spread throughout the world, the next day, which was Monday.

The USD/JPY really fell rapidly, closing at 250 points last week and opening at 241 points this week, a drop of 9 points.

Such a plunge can be regarded as a "black swan event"!

And this is just the beginning, because Liu Tao, the butterfly, flapped his wings, causing the dollar to fall faster than in the previous life.

At the close of the day, the USD/JPY exchange rate had fallen to 1:220, a single-day drop of more than 10%, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

You know, this is a currency, and there is a national credit system behind it to support it. It is also the currency of the most powerful country in the world, the United States, and has been the universal currency of the world in the past 40 years.

This situation happened before, it is likely that the country entered a state of war, and it was the kind of defeat.

There are two reactions in Japan. Japan's appreciation may be a good thing for ordinary people, especially those who have never been abroad. Ordinary people do not have so much foreign exchange in their hands. For them, the appreciation of the yen means an increase in purchasing power. However, this is not good news for Japanese companies and the Japanese government, which have stored a large amount of US dollars in order to expand abroad.

Currently, Japan has purchased US Treasury bonds, plus US dollar cash and other securities, which are definitely more than 100 billion US dollars. In order to balance the relationship with the Americans, it is definitely impossible to sell them all at once.

If Japan dares to sell US bonds and other securities at once, then the US troops will dare to move directly into Tokyo.

This is the helplessness of a country that is not completely sovereign. Many times, it is helpless and it is not possible to do whatever it wants.

Because there are US military bases!

Guns are sometimes more useful than anything else and have deterrent power!
