130: Beidou brings shock to the world!

Inside the main command room of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Peng Lin stared intently at the gigantic electronic screen!

As the four Beidou satellites precisely entered orbit and their solar wings unfurled like silver wings, the ground control console erupted in incredibly excited cheers!

The atomic clock pulse signal was transmitted back for the first time, and 36,000 kilometers above Longguo, four silver stars simultaneously lit up with synchronized positioning light points!

Peng Lin clenched his fists as the red words "Beidou-1 Network Successfully Established" flashed on the screen simultaneously with a coverage map of Longguo and its surrounding areas!

The "Beidou Satellite Navigation System" would officially serve the Longguo military's combat operations within its territory and surrounding regions!

The Beidou-1 system launched a total of four satellites, including 3 geostationary orbit synchronous satellites and 1 backup satellite!

The constellation was positioned at 80°, 110.5°, and 140° East longitude, serving Longguo and its surrounding areas, with a positioning accuracy better than 10 meters, and short message communication capable of transmitting 120 Chinese characters in a single instance!

"We aim to successfully establish the Beidou-2 system network within the year, extending its service coverage to the entire Asia-Pacific region!"

Peng Lin said to the Beidou team with a smile.

Currently, Longguo and the Changhe Military Industrial General Factory are investing heavily in the construction of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System, with the goal of quickly achieving Asia-Pacific and even global networking to enhance Longguo's military influence.

Longguo is implementing its grand reform and opening-up policy and is about to step onto the world stage, ushering in unprecedented changes!

Under these circumstances, the Longguo military must possess powerful combat capabilities to safeguard the development of the economy and the nation!

...Meanwhile.

Yanjing, Ministry of National Defense Building.

The Longguo military had invited military attachés from all countries with diplomatic relations with Longguo to jointly observe a military exercise codenamed "Spring Thunder—Eighty."

This was a military exercise initiated by the Longguo Army, not targeting any third-party country.

"Spring Thunder" signifies spring thunder shaking the world, symbolizing the "Spring Thunder of the Era" as Longguo reforms, opens up, and moves towards modernization!

"Eighty" represents the Longguo's first military exercise entering the 1980s, also implying that the powerful Longguo Army would safeguard the nation's economic take-off in the 1980s!

Facing the Longguo military's exercise, which did not target any third-party country, almost all countries with diplomatic relations with Longguo responded.

They dispatched military attachés from their embassies in Longguo to the Ministry of National Defense building to observe the exercise.

Major international players like the Mao Xiong Empire, the Beautiful Country, the Sun Never Sets Empire, Island Nation, Gaulish Chicken, East Germany, West Germany, etc., even sent their ambassadors to Longguo in person.

Facing Longguo's growing military power, they all wanted a glimpse to see how far the Longguo Army had developed!

Inside the Ministry of National Defense conference hall, ambassadors and military attachés from over a hundred countries gathered.

The chandeliers above the hall illuminated the smiling faces of everyone as they conversed and networked, making the atmosphere in the conference hall exceptionally harmonious.

Since Longguo's relations with both "NATO" and the "Warsaw Pact" were neither distant nor overly close, both sides gave Longguo this respect!

At eleven o'clock in the morning.

Marshal Xu Yong'an, the Minister of National Defense, walked into the conference hall wearing a Type 65 military uniform.

The conversations among all the national representatives ceased abruptly.

"Distinguished Ambassadors and Military Attachés to Longguo!"

"As the spring thunder rumbles in Yanjing and war eagles line up ready for deployment, I, on behalf of the Longguo military, welcome all of you to the 'Spring Thunder—Eighty' military exercise!"

"This exercise carries the intention of 'spring awakening and troop training,' while also focusing on subjects such as 'sudden assault' and 'rapid response' for mechanized combined arms units, aiming to anchor the era's coordinates and strengthen national security strategy!"

"Now, please join me in watching the participating units' live-fire drills!"

Marshal Xu Yong'an's voice was strong and resonant as he addressed everyone.

And after his words, the large screen at the front of the Ministry of National Defense conference hall instantly lit up.

The displayed image was precisely the scene from the Jiuquan launch site that morning.

Under everyone's gaze, two Long March rockets roared into the sky, their fiery tails tearing through the firmament!

The fairings opened at the Kármán line, four Beidou satellites precisely entered orbit, and their solar wings unfurled like silver wings!

On the screen, the red words "Beidou-1 Network Successfully Established" flashed simultaneously with a coverage map of Longguo and its surrounding areas!

At this moment, all the representatives from various countries who had come to participate in the "Spring Thunder—Eighty" military exercise suddenly felt a bit bewildered.

Longguo!

Had it established a satellite navigation system?

At this moment, the ambassadors from the Beautiful Country and the Mao Xiong Empire to Longguo both looked somewhat grim!

Could it be that besides their two superpowers, Longguo was also entering the ranks of global satellite navigation system development?

However, even before they had fully recovered, as the four Beidou-1 system satellites precisely positioned themselves in orbit, dozens of combat unit icons representing heavy combined arms brigades, light combined arms brigades, and army aviation brigades simultaneously lit up with green signals on the large screen in the Ministry of National Defense conference hall!

Instantly, all units in the Longguo military equipped with Beidou terminals completed their informatized networking!

The moment the Beidou-1 network was successfully established, the three-dimensional electronic sand table inside the heavy combined arms brigade's command vehicle suddenly lit up!

Real-time terrain and weather within a 200-kilometer radius were projected!

The reconnaissance team of the light combined arms brigade transmitted the "enemy" coordinates via Beidou short message, generating a coordinate map of the enemy's armored cluster within 20 seconds!

On the Z-10 attack helicopter's airborne display in the army aviation brigade, Beidou navigation was integrated with the combat system, and the command center planned its low-altitude penetration route in real-time!

The advantage of a "unilaterally transparent" battlefield was achieved for the first time by the Longguo Army!

On the large screen in the Ministry of National Defense conference hall.

Everyone saw the gunner of a Type 79A main battle tank in the Gobi exercise area gazing at the newly upgraded Beidou fire control terminal, which displayed the enemy armored cluster's coordinates in real-time.

The "enemy armored cluster" was currently engaging the Type 79A main battle tank company with an absolute numerical advantage.

But at the same time, the Type 79A main battle tank'sIn-car data link synchronized the target information to the rear WS long-range rocket artillery position!

As the artillery commander issued the order, the trajectories of the six-barrel rocket launcher salvo intertwined with the Beidou correction signals, and the "enemy" armored cluster and command post 50 kilometers away were instantly engulfed by artillery fire!

What used to require half an hour of fire coordination now took only 90 seconds!

From target discovery to the first round of fire coverage, only 58 seconds elapsed, an efficiency increase of 400% compared to traditional command modes!

And at the same moment, the army aviation brigade's armed helicopter fleet simultaneously received orders, cutting in at treetop height under Beidou navigation guidance to launch a "time-space" precise coordinated strike on the enemy's coordinate positions!

At this moment, watching this military exercise through the large screen, the representatives from various countries around the world were unprecedentedly shocked!

This "discover and destroy" combat rhythm completely shattered the understanding of ground warfare held by various nations!

This was not merely observing a military exercise; it was clearly the Longguo military giving a modern military lesson to all countries worldwide!
