boom!
Accompanied by the roar of the rocket thrusters, fire ignited from the bottom of the launch tower. In everyone's field of vision, the huge Fat Five slowly rose from the ground and flew towards the sky.
At this moment, the audience, whether they were at the scene or in front of the TV, were all excited after watching it.
Even if you don’t understand aerospace, even if you have never seen a rocket launch.
But at this moment, when you see Fat Five rising into the sky, your heart will surge and you will be extremely excited.
"Xia Guo Aerospace is awesome!"
"Fat Five, charge me, charge me!"
"Wuhu, take off!"
"Brothers, I finally saw Fat Five take off at the scene. I'm so excited, Mad!"
"Rush towards the vast starry sky and universe!"
"I feel really romantic at this moment."
The audience at the scene cheered and sighed with emotion. Some people were cheering loudly, and some were already crying with excitement. This is the result of the joint efforts of Xia State's aerospace industry for decades and generations.
Although Ding Yue knows that Fat Five's engine is not the best in the world, but despite this, it is already the result of the hard work of the aerospace people of the motherland.
"From now on, let us, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, pass on the next great success."
Ding Yue murmured in a low voice.
Everyone has a space dream in their mind, and if the space industry wants to continue to develop, technology must continue to be improved and innovated.
"Brother Yue, what did you say?"
Xu Bin, who was standing next to Ding Yue, seemed to hear what Brother Yue was muttering, and asked curiously.
"Nothing, just feeling emotional."
Ding Yue shrugged slightly, and then watched Fat Five's rocket soar into the sky.
In about a minute, Fat Five disappeared from people's sight. People watched the launch of the rocket from the ground, just to appreciate the moment of the fire blooming, and then the rocket slowly lifted into the sky. That moment was the most impressive. Hot-blooded.
"Secondary rocket separates."
...
"The dynamic data is normal."
"Telemetry data is normal."
...
"The fairing is separated successfully!"
Shortly after the launch from Fat 5, the escape tower is separated, then the booster is separated, and finally the fairing is separated. If a satellite is launched, the arrow star is separated at this time and the satellite enters the established orbit.
But Fat Five is obviously not used to launch satellites. After all, if Fat Five is used to launch satellites, it will be really overkill and overqualified.
This time, Fat Five launched a manned spacecraft.
The spacecraft entered space, began to move towards Xia Guo's space station, and finally docked with the space station. After the docking was successful, the astronauts in the manned spacecraft could enter the space station to carry out scientific research.
In fact, this is not the first time that Xia Guo has manned people into the space station. It has been done several years ago, and every year Xia Guo will have new astronauts enter the space station to start work.
It has to be said that in the field of space stations, domestic development is very rapid.
If rocket engine technology can be further improved, domestic aerospace technology will become one of the best in the world.
"Nais!"
Ding Yue was very happy after seeing Fat Five launch successfully.
The audience at the scene began to leave one after another.
At the rocket launch center, Director Chen also watched the whole process of Fat Five successfully launching and sending the manned spacecraft into space. Next, there was the work of docking the manned spacecraft to the space station, etc., but these were left to the corresponding personnel. Just proceed.
"congratulations."
"congratulations."
"Well done!"
After Director Chen congratulated several people in charge at the launch center, he went about his own business.
About half an hour later, after Director Chen finished all the things he should be busy with at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, he called President Ding of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.
"Principal Ding, I've finished my work here. I still have some time today. Where are you? Let's chat for a while?"
Director Chen invited Principal Ding to prepare for a chat between the two of them.
Regarding the development of the domestic aerospace industry, Director Chen feels that President Ding of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has a very lofty vision. Every time he talks with him, he feels very comfortable.
What's more, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is currently cooperating more and more with Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. There will definitely be more places where we need to communicate together in the future.
"Over here in the viewing area, Director Chen, are you over there at the launch center?"
"Yes, how about I have someone take you into the satellite launch center, and I'll wait for you under the launch center building, and then we take a tour of the launch center?"
Director Chen said with a smile.
"OK."
Ding Yue agreed directly without thinking.
Is there anything to hesitate about?
Being able to enter the satellite launch center is not something that ordinary people can do.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go in and chat with Director Chen for a while." Ding Yue said to everyone around him with a smile.
Everyone also knew that Principal Ding was going to chat with Director Chen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration today, so they all nodded.
"Brother Yue, should I call you when I get the meal?"
Huang Youjie asked.
"We'll see what happens at that time." Ding Yue was not sure how long he could chat with Director Chen after entering the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
"Fine."
Huang Youjie made an OK gesture.
Then Ding Yue walked towards the gate of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
At the gate, there are special security personnel to register people coming in and out. Since Ding Yue does not have a certificate, the security will not let Ding Yue in.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man came. After he communicated with the security guard for a while, the middle-aged man walked towards Ding Yue.
"Principal Ding, did you bring your ID card?"
The middle-aged man asked Ding Yue.
"Uh-huh."
Ding Yue nodded, and then took out his ID card.
Ding Yue knew the rules when entering and leaving such a place. He must register with his ID card, even if Director Chen was there, he still had to register.
The registration work was completed quickly. After confirming that Ding Yue was the same as his ID card, the security guard let Ding Yue enter the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
"Principal Ding, Director Chen is already waiting for you."
The middle-aged man smiled and said to Ding Yue.
"Um."
Ding Yue nodded, followed the middle-aged man into the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, got into a patrol car-like vehicle, and headed towards the launch center building.
In just five or six minutes, we arrived at the launch center building.
From a distance, Ding Yue saw Director Chen.
"Director Chen."
After seeing Director Chen, Ding Yue waved and said hello.
"Principal Ding, long time no see."
Director Chen also greeted Ding Yue.
"Fat Five fired perfectly today." Ding Yue said with a smile.
"It went well. This should be Fat Five's last launch mission." Director Chen said calmly.
"Oh? Are you going to retire?"
Ding Yue was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Over the years, Fat Five, as a heavy-lift rocket, has made great contributions to the domestic aerospace industry. In the blink of an eye, it is time for Fat Five to retire.
So the question is, after Fat Five retires, who will take on the task of heavy rockets?
Obviously, it seems that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has already made preparations. The news has been revealed or speculated by netizens before, that is, Fat Nine will be used to replace Fat Five and become a new generation of heavy-duty space launch vehicles.
"Yes, Fat Five has completed its historical mission."
Director Chen nodded.
"Then the next person to take over the baton from Fat Five is Fat Jiu." Ding Yue said with emotion: "Fat Five, you are the symbol of a generation of astronauts."
"Who says it's not the case, but the arrival of Fat Jiu means that our aerospace industry has taken another big step forward."
When Director Chen said this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He has been working in the aerospace field for so many years and is now the deputy administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He has watched the great progress and development of domestic aerospace over the years step by step.
In the future, we will continue to witness the progress and development of domestic aerospace.
"The road to aerospace is a very bumpy road, and it is an epic that countless people have persevered and contributed to. In the future, our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences will also participate in the construction of this epic."
Ding Yue said to Director Chen with a smile.
This is a historical mission that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences must participate in.
For the domestic aerospace industry, we are duty-bound.
"I am very optimistic about the School of Aerospace at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. What are your plans for the future? Can you tell me about talent training, continued research and development, etc.?"
Director Chen looked at Ding Yue with admiration and asked.
Appreciating Ding Yue means appreciating his philosophy of contributing to the domestic aerospace industry, and also appreciating his ability to make Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences better and better. And Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences getting better and better means that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is getting better and better. The School of Aerospace at the University of Arts and Sciences will also get better and better, and there will be more talents in the aerospace field and even top geniuses. This is something that Director Chen is looking forward to very much.
"Thank you Director Chen for looking forward to us."
Ding Yue smiled calmly and said: "Recently, we have launched some new projects, all of which are researching spacecraft engine technology, material technology, etc."
"oh?"
When Director Chen heard this, he immediately became interested in engine technology: "Are you studying engine technology? Are you studying launch vehicle technology?"
Domestic launch vehicle engine technology, and even domestic aircraft engine technology, still have a lot of room for improvement, but due to various reasons, it has always been difficult.
It would be great if there were domestic institutions that could develop a new generation of engines.
But this matter is indeed too difficult. Director Chen was a little excited at first, but after thinking about it, his excitement calmed down instantly.
Although Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is great, can it really make new breakthroughs in engine technology?
Director Chen does not dare to believe this absolutely, but Director Chen does not completely disbelieve it. He still believes that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has a miracle of making such a breakthrough.
After all, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has even developed the core technology of photolithography machines. It is indeed an epoch-making private university and private technology company in China.
"Director Chen, the current domestic engine technology has encountered a bottleneck, right?"
Ding Yue turned around, looked at Director Chen and asked.
"yes."
Director Chen nodded and continued walking along this road.
Ding Yue also followed, and the two of them walked forward side by side, taking a walk and chatting about some things in the domestic aerospace technology field.
“Breaking through bottlenecks often requires a lot of effort and cost.”
Director Chen said helplessly: "We are still working hard."
"Then let's work together."
Ding Yue said firmly: "I believe that our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences can also cultivate talents in engine technology and energy innovation technology. When the time comes, we will also make the best progress we can in the development of the technical field. All the hard work.”
"What? Principal Ding, does your Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences already have such talents?"
Director Chen asked very puzzledly.
"Ahem, I can't say more about this. I can only say that we are working hard." Ding Yue coughed lightly and said with a smile: "But Director Chen, we can cooperate and ventilate the two sides."
"this......"
Director Chen was suddenly in a dilemma.
"I know that our National Aeronautics and Space Administration has no precedent of cooperating with private companies on research, right?"
Ding Yue instantly understood what Director Chen meant.
The domestic space agency has never been able to cooperate with private companies in terms of technical research. If it wants to cooperate, it must be done with various research institutions under the domestic Xia Ke Academy.
Cooperation between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and private companies is at most only at the supply level, and cannot exist at the technical research level. Even if there is cooperation with some companies for research, then this company must have official holdings.
"right."
Director Chen nodded and said directly.
"Then why can't we take this step?"
Ding Yue spread his hands and said calmly: "I think you, Director Chen, know our Feiyue Group very well. Not only your Space Administration, but also the Xia Ke Academy, the Southwest Military Equipment Division, etc., all know about us. We know each other very well, we have a lot of cooperation, and we also want to make our contribution to the domestic aerospace industry."
"Principal Ding, this matter still needs to be discussed in depth. It is definitely impossible for me to give you a reply now, but naturally I also very much hope that we can conduct cooperative research in the technical field with you."
Director Chen expressed his true thoughts.
However, if this matter is to be achieved, the deputy director himself will definitely not be able to make a direct decision. This will require in-depth discussions and evaluations.
Ding Yue expressed his understanding of this point: "Okay, then I will wait for news from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I might as well reveal to Director Chen that we have already made some progress in the research of new generation engine technology. "
Ding Yue directly threw out a very attractive message.
The domestic aerospace field has been working hard to develop a new generation of engine technology, but as Director Chen said just now, there is a bottleneck.
