Medal of the Republic 功勋 Episode 36

The moment he saw the satellite, Sun Jiadong was very moved. From the sketch to the entity, only those who participated in it knew how difficult it was. Sun Jiadong quietly drew the appearance of the satellite and kept it secretly. The satellite antennas started the experiment, and the antennas were deployed, but one of the antennas was thrown out and injured a person. Everyone had to keep testing the satellite antenna in a protective state, and it couldn't be thrown out if it was light, but it was broken and thrown out if it was heavy. Zhipeng and Chen Xiyuan went to see Qian Xuesen for this. Qian Xuesen said that he would ask Sun Jiadong to help, and he should keep it confidential.

Jia Zheng said that he had received reports and came to Sun Jiadong’s home to search. He kept saying that there were counter-revolutionary materials at home. Wei Suping calmly chopped vegetables, but angrily told him to put it down when Jia Zheng was about to confiscate the badge. Sun Jiadong was a student sent by the government to the Soviet Union. Shi even met with students studying in the Soviet Union. They were robbing them with these! Sun Jiadong has been devoted to his work these years. Wei Suping accused them of destroying the revolution. They must be searched. If they can't find it, they must apologize! Wei Suping was holding a kitchen knife and Jia Zheng was so frightened that Jia Zheng stammered and ran away, even Sun Jiadong was stunned. Wei Suping then quietly took out the hidden satellite drawings and gave them to Sun Jiadong, and asked him to put them away.

Sun Jiadong braved the heavy snow to help Chen Xiyuan and the others solve the problem. When they came home, he sneezed in the cold, and Wei Suping quickly cooked the ginger soup. Although it was cold, Sun Jiadong was happy from the bottom of his heart. Jia Zheng heard that Sun Jiadong was standing outside the workshop all day, but he didn't dare to care about what Wei Suping said. He was the person Chairman Mao had personally received. The satellite antenna was finally successfully tested. Chen Xiyuan couldn't wait to run out to confess good to Sun Jiadong, and Sun Jiadong asked him to find an obsolete antenna as a souvenir. Chen Xiyuan hurriedly ran back to get it, but Sun Jiadong fainted in the snow. Jia Zheng sent him to the hospital when he found out.

During the satellite report, Zhipeng and Chen Xiyuan said that a comrade who did not seek fame and fortune had participated in the research and development of the new satellite antenna. Jia Zheng immediately stood up and said that not rewarding such a good comrade was justified. Chen Xiyuan replied that this comrade is Sun Jiadong. Sun Jiadong loves aerospace, and he spares his life to work and does not care about gains or losses. This is the greatest loyalty to the party, the country, and the people! With this, Sun Jiadong returned to work. After Qian Xuesen signed the identification document of Dongfanghong-1, the list of going to Jiuquan to launch the satellite with him was also down. Sun Jiadong quickly read the list and asked them to pack their things and set off tomorrow, but Sun Jiadong was the only one. Everyone wants to go to Qian Xuesen, but Sun Jiadong thinks that satellites are far more important than his business, and Qian Xuesen's burden is too heavy, and he shouldn't cause any more trouble. Zhiming, Chen Xiyuan and others set off. Sun Jiadong was very reluctant to send them away. Zhiming deeply complained for him, but he was helpless.

On the day of the satellite launch, Sun Jiadong couldn't eat any food, so he strolled on the street alone. Two people stood under the telephone poles. They said they wanted to keep communication open, and the leader gave a deadly order to stand until dawn. Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The satellite launch time is getting closer and closer. Sun Jiadong is in Beijing, but he is still in awe. After finishing his clothes, he looks at the sky. After the countdown, the "Dongfanghong-1" ignited into orbit and successfully launched. At this moment, everyone was excited, and the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was waving a five-star red flag. This is our China Red.

Sun Jiadong stayed on the street until dawn, and finally waited for today's newspaper. On April 24, 1970, the "Dongfanghong-1" was successfully launched, and Sun Jiadong's eyes were full of tears. We finally rode our bicycles to the moon!
