Sergei Pavlovic Korolev, a Ukrainian, is familiar to those engaged in aerospace. He is a great designer and organizer of the Soviet aerospace industry, the designer of the first intercontinental rocket (Ballistic Missile) with a range of more than 8000 kilometers, the designer of the first man-made earth satellite launch vehicle Chief designer of the first manned spaceship, etc.

It can be said that if the Nobel prize could be awarded to the Soviet Union at that time, he would have won the prize more than once. Even in the cold war, he made a beneficial contribution to all mankind.

The earth is the cradle of mankind, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever. For the aerospace industry, Korolev is the one who sent mankind out of the cradle.

However, Korolev is now a prisoner.

Of course, this is the reason for the big cleaning.

In 37 years, the vigorous cleaning began. Like many innocent people, Korolev was sentenced. Compared with those who were shot, he was still lucky.

He was only sentenced to ten years to work as a coolie in Siberia.

At that time, many scientists were sent to prison. For a moment, the Soviets found that they had no scientific research strength, so many people came out again, such as the famous aircraft designer Tupolev and others.

After they came out, they still cared about their colleagues in the prison. They were good friends with polev and Korolev. He repeatedly asked the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to let Korolev leave the prison and resume normal work.

At this time, the Soviet Union noticed that Germany had successfully developed ballistic missiles. Although the range was not far, it was also a terrible big killer, and the Soviet Union's rocket developers were all in prison.

Therefore, Korolev was released and transferred to special prison No. 4 to restart the development of rockets.

However, they still need to work. They work during the day and at night. Working long hours every day is a kind of damage to their bodies.

It was belia who threw Korolev in. Now, belia is a member of the National Defense Committee, the highest organ of state power in wartime. His tasks range from intelligence and diplomacy to organizing the construction of fortifications, factory retreat and weapons production.

He knew the importance of rockets to the Soviet Union and Korolev, so he was ready to provide Korolev with better conditions to work.

It's important for belia to explore the labor force of every prisoner and quickly build the oil city here. Now that he has mined a huge oil field, he can tell Moscow, so talents like Korolev can give them a better stage to play.

Belia was the most resolute in carrying out Stalin's orders. After Stalin's death, belia was also very active in putting an end to the rebellion for the prisoners in the great cleansing.

Belia knew that these were the most valuable personnel of the Soviet Union.

Korolev didn't know how to treat belia, or he didn't care about such a problem. He focused on the Rockets.

Soviet rockets, come out under him!

After a cigarette was finished and Korolev's calculation was completed, he turned his head, looked at belia and said, "I hope Grushko can work with me."

For Korolev, he must have Grushko's help.

Valentin Petrovich Grushko, a Soviet rocket engine expert, was locked up with Korolev at the beginning. Korolev couldn't make rockets without a suitable engine. Grushko was necessary.

(the hero of East China really sighs about their relationship. Without Grushko, there would be no glory of Korolev. However, on the lunar rocket engine, Korolev and Grushko parted ways. They would rather have N1 rockets with countless engines connected in parallel than rd270. There is not much show off here. Everyone in the province said a lot about cheating.)

"No problem." Belia easily agreed.

This time, a large oil well with rich reserves was drilled. In short, we can breathe a sigh of relief. Belia was quite satisfied with the oil gas in the burning oil well.

No one knows that a long-range reconnaissance plane is flying in the sky at this time.

The long voyage is boring. Because the volume in the cabin is limited, it is impossible to make a small lounge like junker-390 to let people sleep in bed.

They can only stick to their position and look at the blue sky and white clouds outside. Time is passing little by little.

After flying over the Caspian Sea and Kazakhstan and calibrating the course at several landmarks, the long-range junker-86p reconnaissance aircraft is still flying slowly.

Yes, according to the speed of the fighter at more than 700 kilometers per hour, its speed is definitely slow enough, but it can't be compared with it in altitude and range.

The altitude of 15000 meters has exceeded that of the troposphere. There will be no bad weather and no special airflow. Their flight is very stable. There are no special circumstances except the unique clatter sound of the diesel engine.

All the way, they can take turns to rest. Only the navigator Stigler has been working. He wants to make sure the route is correct.

In his eyes, the terrain below was seen as a curve on the map. He was constantly facing each other. The sun shone into the cabin from the west, and the whole cabin was shining with gold.

"Attention, about to fly over the target, ready to take photos." Cried Stigler.

After a long flight, it was more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and they would soon reach the sky over the target.

As a reconnaissance aircraft, its main equipment is the aerial camera. After improvement, it can carry three high-precision cameras. As long as it flies once, it can take enough pictures of the target and then take it back for research.

After flying for so long, I'm waiting for the opportunity now! Everyone cheered up and flew all the way. The Soviets didn't respond. It seems that the route here is absolutely no problem.

Suddenly, Stigler shouted, "I saw the oil well burning!"

They're drilling new oil wells, and there's more than one!

It is common sense that only a newly opened oil well will ignite it.

Underground energy, oil and gas reservoirs are generally gas-liquid-solid three-phase coexistence of crude oil, natural gas, water and other solid impurities. Most of the crude oil accounts for oil wells and most of the natural gas accounts for gas wells.

Although it is an oil field, there will be a small amount of natural gas in it. It is good to separate it for storage and use, but the cost of adding a set of natural gas separation system is far more expensive than the value of this small amount of natural gas, so it's better to burn it.

These natural gases are directly discharged into the atmosphere, which is very unsafe. Once they encounter fire, they will cause fire or even explosion. In particular, it is shrouded over the oil field and directly discharged. With the increasing concentration, it may turn the whole oil field into a terrible scene such as temperature pressure bomb.

Therefore, before drilling and exploitation, these gases must be burned under controllable conditions to ensure safety.
