Chapter 977: Prepare to Launch!

Latest website:

Nine o'clock in the evening.

At Wucheng Airport, in the VIP lounge of the terminal building, Ding Yue, his friends Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, his secretary Wen Ruohan, and his sister Ding Xiaoyou were waiting for tonight's flight to Jiuquan City.

Setting off from San Francisco International Airport in Yingjiang, after arriving at the domestic Wucheng Airport, he directly and seamlessly connected the flight from Wucheng Airport to Jiuquan City. Due to time constraints, Ding Yue did not even go back to his Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

At this time, the aerospace research team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and the Leap Space Team had already arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Jiuquan City with people from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, waiting for tomorrow's rocket recovery technology experiment.

This time the rocket recovery technology experiment uses a dual-track rocket, which means that two rocket thrusters will be used to launch the satellite.

"Abin, I heard that your computer research team played an indispensable role in the successful development of rocket recovery technology."

In the waiting room, Ding Yue chatted with Xu Bin beside him.

"Well, you can't say that. We just provide computer technical support to the aerospace research team."

Xu Bin said quite modestly: "The main credit is due to the aerospace research team. They have worked really hard. Look, I didn't even know that the research on rocket recovery technology was successful, and I followed you to watch the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. It’s a football match.”

When Ding Yue heard this, he thought it made sense.

Xu Bin went with him to watch the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. It can be seen that although rocket recovery technology is supported by computer technology, relatively speaking, it is definitely not developed by the core strength of the computer research team.

After all, the core computer technology team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is the team headed by Xu Bin.

According to Xu Bin.

The computer technology involved in the rocket recovery technology this time is mainly participated by the second team. The so-called second team refers to the second team in addition to the main team led by Xu Bin, and its strength is natural. Also very powerful.

"If the experiment is successful this time, our domestic rocket launch technology will directly reach a new level. It will significantly reduce the cost of rocket launches, speed up the space station, satellite system, and prepare for future moon landings and Mars landings." Let’s lay the foundation.”

Ding Yue couldn't help but sigh and said: "The stars and the sea are getting closer and closer."

“It would be great if we could develop a spacecraft that flies directly into space.”

Huang Youjie on the side said longingly.

"That at least needs to be based on nuclear energy."

Ding Xiaoyou spoke.

With the existing energy power and engine technology, it is basically impossible to support a spacecraft to fly directly from the ground into space. After all, humans are still using rocket launch technology.

If you want to realize the spacecraft entering space, the energy power must at least be nuclear energy. For other chemical energy sources, the payload fuel required is too high, and there is simply not that much space.

Or if it is all chemical fuel, then why would it be called a manned spaceship?

“Isn’t nuclear fission possible?”

Huang Youjie asked: "Aren't today's nuclear submarines and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers all nuclear fission reactor engines?"

"No way."

Ding Yue immediately shook his head: "Old Huang, think about it, the environment in space is much more complicated than the environment on the earth. The danger level of nuclear fission energy has skyrocketed. Only nuclear Fusion energy is the safest and most efficient."

"But it's not that easy to control nuclear fusion energy."

Xu Bin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Controllable nuclear fusion has always been the top technology that mankind has longed for. If this technology is realized, mankind's energy problems can basically be solved.

Not to mention the problem of spacecraft sailing into space and conducting interstellar exploration.

"Principal Ding, Director Huang, and Director Xu are ready to board the plane."

At this time, secretary Wen Ruohan came over and reminded everyone.

then.

Ding Yue and others began to board the plane.

A few hours later, they arrived in Jiuquan City, not far from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, so Ding Yue decided to rest in a hotel in Jiuquan City tonight and wait until tomorrow morning to rush to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

After all, we all came all the way from San Francisco in Yingjiang. Even though we took a plane, it was actually quite tiring.

Early the next morning.

Ding Yue got up, and Huang Youjie, Xu Bin, and Ding Xiaoyou also got up very early, because everyone knew that they would get up early today and rush to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

Before going to bed last night, Ding Yue had a phone call with Deputy Director Chen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and briefly talked about this rocket recovery technology experiment.

As one of the main leaders of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Deputy Director Chen attaches great importance to the rocket recovery technology developed by Feiyue Aerospace and Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

After all, if this technology is developed and the experiment is successful, the cost of domestic rocket launches and other tasks will be greatly reduced, which will have a very important positive role in promoting the development of the aerospace industry.

Just imagine.

In the past, to launch satellites, a rocket was needed as thrust to send the satellite out of the atmosphere. If the rocket could not be recovered after launch, then another rocket would need to be built for the next launch.

As a result, the cost of rockets is relatively high.

If the rocket recovery technology is realized, the rocket can be successfully and safely recovered on land without causing any damage. If you want to continue launching satellites next time and use the rocket, you only need to refill the fuel.

This is one of the reasons why Yingjiang’s rocket launches are very competitive.

"Is everyone packed and ready? It's time to go."

Ding Yue asked everyone in the WeChat group.

Huang Youjie: Right away.

Xu Bin: OK, ready.

Ding Xiaoyou: I've been waiting for you in the underground garage, okay. You boys are really taking your time.

Wen Ruohan: Principal Ding, do you need me to come over?

Ding Yue: x-on:Wen Ruohan, just go to the underground garage and wait for me.

Wen Ruohan: Good luck.

About ten minutes later.

Ding Yue, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin came to the hotel's underground garage together. His sister Ding Xiaoyou and his secretary Wen Ruohan were already waiting in the car.

Feiyue F1 is a Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle. Feiyue F1 is the SUV version of Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicle. After all, cars generally have two versions, SUV and sedan, to meet the different needs of non-consumer users.

The same is true for Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles. Whether it is an SUV or a sedan, the sales of Feiyue Future New Energy Vehicles are very high. Over the years, it has ranked first in sales every month. Yes, it is global sales!

Since Leap Future New Energy Vehicles broke through the overseas blockade and went on sale overseas, sales have soared. Even new energy vehicle companies like Teas can't compete with it.

This time Ding Yue went to watch the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and saw many Leap Future new energy vehicles on the road.

This is also the reason why Ding Yue can become the youngest rich man!

"lets go!"

After Ding Yue got in the car, he directly asked Dabai, the on-board intelligent operating system, to locate the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and then officially set off.

About half an hour later.

The vehicle arrived at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Special Feiyue Aerospace staff and staff from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration came to greet Ding Yue and others.

After all, Ding Yue is the "financier" behind this rocket recovery technology experiment. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is extremely grateful to Ding Yue for his investment in research and development of rocket recovery technology.

Because Ding Yue has invested in research on rocket recovery technology, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration does not need to research rocket recovery technology. At that time, it can directly cooperate with Feiyue Aerospace and Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

And Ding Yue is also willing to cooperate in this aspect. Cooperating with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and developing domestic rocket recovery technology are just some of the things that Ding Yue can do for his country.

"Principal Ding, please come this way. Deputy Director Chen has been waiting for you to come over for a long time."

The staff of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration invited Ding Yue and said.

"good."

Ding Yue nodded, and then followed the staff of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the gate of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. After registering at the guard, he entered the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

This is Ding Yue's second visit to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

I still remember the last time I came to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Ding Yue took everyone on a self-driving trip last summer. On his way back from the Western Regions, he passed by Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. There happened to be a rocket launch here, so Ding Yue came over to watch. At that time, I also talked a lot about aerospace matters with Deputy Director Chen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

At that time, Deputy Director Chen also proposed many cooperation projects. Ding Yue did not agree at the time, but afterwards, he still agreed to many cooperation projects in the aerospace field.

For example, after the rocket recovery technology experiments of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace are successful, they will start close cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As long as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration needs its own rocket recovery technology, it will definitely provide it to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. According to the arrangement of the department.

quickly.

Ding Yue and everyone came to the building of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center and met Deputy Director Chen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

"Principal Ding, you are here."

After seeing Ding Yue, Deputy Director Chen walked over with a smile and said: "Today is really a day worth looking forward to. I didn't expect that Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences and Feiyue Aerospace are so powerful that they even developed rocket recovery technology. .”

"What others have, we must also have it ourselves. As long as we are willing to invest heavily and our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences cultivates outstanding talents, then there will be nothing we can't handle. What do you think, Director Chen?"

Ding Yue said calmly.

"That's the truth. Your Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is not simple. I think this aerospace major has the opportunity to become a first-class discipline in our country."

Deputy Director Chen nodded and said to Ding Yue: "As long as you apply, our National Aeronautics and Space Administration can support you."

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Ding Yue said happily: "Thank you so much, Director Chen."

"This is all the result of your own efforts."

Deputy Director Chen smiled.

Now Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences already has several first-class disciplines, mainly a few top department majors. It would be a good thing if the aerospace major of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics can also be rated as a national first-class discipline.

"It's about ten minutes before it starts. Principal Ding, you guys are here just in time. I heard that you didn't go to watch the World Cup between the United States, Canada and Mexico?"

Deputy Director Chen said again.

"Yes, I just came back from San Francisco yesterday. The US-Canada-Mexico World Cup is important, but our timely rocket recovery experiment is even more important, so I rushed back to witness it in person."

Ding Yue replied with a smile.

"I heard that our national football team performed very well in the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. We have already entered the quarterfinals. Congratulations."

Deputy Director Chen talked about the national football team.

"The national football team is our national football team, we share the same joy, hahahaha."

Ding Yue responded with a laugh.

At this time, a person in charge of the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center came over and reported some situations to Deputy Director Chen. Then, in the entire hall, the staff were already in place, ready to start the launch experiment of rocket recovery technology.

This time, the rocket is carrying a satellite. The rocket launch can ensure that the satellite is successfully lifted into orbit, but whether the rocket can be recovered and returned smoothly depends on the results of this experiment. After all, it is the first time. .

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has made two preparations.

The first-hand preparation is that the rocket carrying the satellite can be successfully recovered and returned to the rocket landing site on the ground.

This is naturally something that everyone is happy with, and it is also the result that everyone wants to see today.

However, for the sake of caution, the Space Administration has made secondary preparations, that is, if the experiment of rocket recovery technology fails, the two rocket debris will be able to land smoothly by then to prevent other accidents.

Just like that, the experiment of rocket recovery technology is about to begin.

"The telemetry department is ready!"

"The rocket monitoring team is ready!"

"Fueling completed!"

...

All work before the rocket launch has been completed.

"The pre-launch inspection was completed and everything is normal."

The last test was completed without any problems, which gave everyone reassurance.

"It's about to launch."

Deputy Director Chen said to Ding Yue beside him very calmly.

"look forward to."

Ding Yue muttered, looking at the rocket on the rocket launch tower in the distance outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

That rocket used two rocket boosters, and the rocket recovery technology experiment this time was to successfully recover the two rocket boosters.

"Ready to launch, three minutes countdown to launch..."

"Prepare to launch, countdown to launch is half a minute, 30, 29..."

At the launch center, the sounds of preparation for launch and countdown to launch were heard.

At this moment, Ding Yue felt slightly nervous.
