Chapter 537 Creating a New Era in Aerospace History (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Just five days before Xinghai Group was preparing to launch the satellite, Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 V1.1 launched the Jason-3 earth observation satellite.
It is a pity that the recovery of the first-stage rocket at sea failed.
The news of the failure spread back to Hua's country, and netizens scattered flowers to celebrate.
Netizens who know the situation criticize those who don’t know clearly. The satellite was successfully launched, but the first-stage rocket was not successfully recovered. What is there to celebrate? Ignorant people are not afraid of their failure, but they are afraid that they have already taken this step .
Now young people all over the world like to compare Xinghai Group’s rockets with Musk’s SpaceX. Judging from the published data, Xinghai Group is stronger, but it has not mastered rocket recovery technology.
At ten o'clock in the morning on June 1, Xingkong-1 of Xinghai Group had successfully launched the Xingdou-1 satellite, and Mu Yang went to the scene to watch.
After the satellite successfully entered orbit, Mu Yang burst into a joyful smile, and the researchers involved in the project also breathed a sigh of relief and cheered excitedly.
After so many experiments, the first real satellite launch was finally successful!
The Xingkong-1 rocket was recovered, and there was no problem, and it successfully landed at the designated location.
This launch also carried many animals, including the animals tested last time, and they ascended to heaven again.
Those two chickens, and those six little white mice, saw that they were locked in the small black room last time. There was no sunlight, little room for movement, and no food or water. What's the matter, I yelled for a while, and after knowing it was useless, I stopped screaming.
The six mice were named "Bai Yi" to "White Six" by the researchers, and they are now the key observation animals in the laboratory.
This time, the orbit of Xingdou-1 satellite is 580 kilometers near the earth, 2351 kilometers away from the earth, and an elliptical orbit with an inclination angle of 68.44°.
This launch is of great significance. It was launched on a rainy day, with frequent thunder and lightning in the sky, and a maximum wind speed of 15m/s. The weather was not very good, but Xinghai Group required the launch to be carried out in such a climate.
Others are seeking stability, they are "court death".
Fortunately, the launch was successful.
After the satellite is launched, it is easy to be photographed by neighboring satellites of other countries, and the external devices of the satellite can be seen. Therefore, it is relatively easy to guess whether Xingdou-1 is a radar satellite or an optical satellite, and what functions it has.
It's just that it's hard to know more detailed performance through the appearance of the satellite.
Therefore, it is better to "expose" directly to make it more authentic.
The Xinghai Group sent the unimportant satellite launch information to local media reporters to let the newspapers make it public.
The next day, "H City Daily" reported on Xinghai Group's satellite launch and published it in the newspaper.
Newspaper, H City, June 1st (Reporter Liu Shi) At 18:50,
[This morning, my country's Xinghai Group successfully launched five Xingdou-1 satellites into space using the Xingkong-1 carrier rocket at the launch center of its rocket launch base. The satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
These five Xingdou-1 satellites are mainly used in smart city planning, smart city communication, wireless WIFI and other fields and other commercial remote sensing data services.
The five satellites of this mission use X-band interferometric synthetic aperture radar imaging system and optical system for the ground. This group of satellites in orbit constitutes the first wheel satellite formation in the world.
The successful launch of the Xingdou-1 satellite made Xinghai Group the second company in the world to independently develop and launch an artificial earth satellite, and the first company in Huaguo to launch a satellite.
For Xinghai Group, it has created a new era in the history of spaceflight.
Fifty-six years ago, in April 1970, my country relied on its own technology to launch the first artificial satellite Dongfang-1, becoming the fifth country in the world to independently develop and launch satellites. The satellite actually ran for 28 days before the battery ran out and stopped working.
But over the past few decades, this satellite is still operating in space orbit, but the low-earth orbit is getting lower and lower from the earth.
In the past few decades, my country's economy has developed rapidly, and private enterprises have been able to launch satellites, which means that the development direction and policies of my country's aerospace industry are correct. 】
"H City Daily" (Version 06, June 1, 2016)
The content of the report is not much, a few hundred words short, plus a picture.
The content of the report was reprinted and reported by mainstream domestic media, and soon aroused heated discussions and congratulations from netizens on the Internet.
"Wow, great news, congratulations to the Xinghai Group, they are soaring into the sky!"
"The carrying capacity of the Xingkong-1 rocket is stronger than that of Musk's space company, but it does not have the ability to recover. It is a pity. I hope Xinghai Group can break through this technology in the future."
"Xinghai Group is able to launch rocket satellites, is it ready for manned launches in the future?"
"Manned satellites are definitely not that fast, but they have taken a big step forward, and the future can be expected."
Mu Yang didn't pay attention to the comments on the Internet. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be complacent. He doesn't live for anyone.
Netizens are like this, if successful, the whole network will congratulate;
If it fails, there will be more sarcasm.
If he is glass-hearted, he is probably going crazy.
During this launch, Xinghai Group finally figured out the mysteries of space after a lot of calculations and animal experiments, and gradually recognized the true face of space.
Xingkong-1 successfully launched the satellite, and after a few days, Ye Fan, the general manager of the space exploration technology project team, reported the launch situation to Mu Yang.
After reading the report, Mu Yang felt that the time was ripe.
The first thing is to start preparing for the manufacture of an experimental space station, which will be carried by the Xingkong-1 rocket.
The second thing is to start the development of the Xingkong-2 rocket, which will be used to carry a practical space station.
The capacity of Xingkong-2 is four to five times that of Xingkong-1, with a carrying capacity of 1,000 tons.
The third thing is to start preparing manned equipment, training equipment and infrastructure, familiarize yourself with emergency lifesaving technology, develop space suits, and so on.
The fourth thing is to continue to test and launch the Xingdou-1 satellite. If the operation reaches the expected target, start mass production of Xingdou-1.
He assigned Ye Fan four scientific research tasks in a row, and the workload of each task was very heavy, requiring the assistance of other departments.
The successful launch of Xingdou-1 requires further testing. At the same time, the next step is to launch three communication satellites.
Originally, it was planned to launch Xingdou-1 and a communication satellite on one satellite, but the development of the communication satellite was relatively slow, and the samples would not be released until the end of June.
As for the manned launch, Mu Yang will not go to the sky in person when the technology is not mature enough, and his physical condition does not allow it. To adapt to the space environment, astronauts need to work on flight simulators, centrifuges, shock towers, etc. Many simulation trainings are conducted in the equipment, and skills such as flying, skydiving, lifesaving and wild survival are also learned.
Even if the technology develops to a certain level, Mu Yang's family and company employees won't allow him to mess around, and even the country doesn't want him to test it himself.
If Mu Yang wants to go to the sky, it seems that he can only wait for the real spacecraft to be developed, at least the aerospace plane.
Now, Mu Yang has already figured out what to choose for the second option of biomedicine, which is the eighth item [Human Genes - Physical Fitness].
Although he has longevity, but his own strength is not enough, Mu Yang feels very insecure.
He didn't know what level of physical fitness he could achieve. It would be interesting if he could transform the human body's genes, make his physical fitness stronger than the King of Soldiers, and be able to adapt to the space environment.
Maybe, just a little bit stronger.
Specifically, we can only know when we buy the technical direction.
5000 achievement points, in the next five years, there is still hope to save enough.
At present, the research progress of Life One is much faster, reaching 50%.
Maybe it will be developed this year.
As long as Life No. 1 is successfully developed, Mu Yang will continue to develop the second life-prolonging potion, which is called "Life No. 2", which can superimpose life span.
Maybe Life No. 1 will be disclosed to the higher-ups in exchange for strategic resources, but Life No. 2 and future Life No. N will definitely not be made public, and they can only be used by their own family members.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on June 2,
The super boss called Mu Yang and congratulated him on the successful launch of the Xingdou-1 satellite.
"Mr. Mu, congratulations."
"Thank you, leader. It's just a small step forward, and there is still a long way to go."
"Well, I just like your low-key, down-to-earth temperament. I heard from Zhang Lan that you assist Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group in developing the aircraft carrier deck, which is hard for you."
"I also hope that domestically-made aircraft carriers can really be realized and do what we can, but if they can't be developed, then there's no way."
"Okay, on behalf of the country, I would like to thank you and the Xinghai Group."
"Leader, please be polite. After all, I am also from Hua Country."
"Haha, I won't be hypocritical with you.
By the way, Rongcheng Aircraft Design Institute is developing JIAN30, which uses your AN05-01J engine. If you have time, please go and guide me. I went to investigate a few days ago. I heard that they encountered many problems. mentioned you.
I can see that they hope to get your help, but are too embarrassed to bring it up.
At the beginning of the year, I went to SAIC for investigation, and I heard that Academician Wu Hui of SAIC praised you a lot. He is very familiar with C919 and pointed out many problems, which made the development of C919 go smoothly. I think, since you are familiar with engines, you must also be familiar with the overall system design of aircraft. "In the past six months, the boss has paid great attention to the scientific research related to the Xinghai Group, to see how much the Xinghai Group's technology can help the country, and hopes to have a more detailed understanding instead of listening to others.
Therefore, he went to inspect Shanghai Aircraft Corporation and Rongcheng Aircraft Design Institute, which use Xinghai Group engines.
"Oh, JIAN30?" Mu Yang was a little puzzled. He had heard of it in his previous life, and even in 2022, he hadn't come out yet.
JIAN20 was tested in 2011, and Mu Yang is not too sure if it has entered into service now. Anyway, it was announced in 2022 that it has already entered into service.
"Yes, it is a confidential matter to the outside world, but it is nothing to you and your company's scientific researchers. I also heard that your students are developing drones, and they are also quite good. If you have time , you can also take them to see JIAN30, maybe it can solve many problems.”
Mu Yang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, it seems that his student's troubles have already been reported to the boss.
"Leader, you flattered my students too much. You got into trouble last time. Hey, it's not good education."
"Where is this, I hope there are more young students like this in China, who are full of vigor and drive. By the way, there is one more thing. You don't want to be awarded a military rank, but you are right to refuse. At present, your identity is more sensitive. , it is right to have scruples."
Mu Yang chatted with the boss for a while and ended the call.
The above told him to grant him a military rank. After all, he has made great contributions to the country's military equipment, and Mu Yang directly refused without asking what military rank it was.
With a military rank, he has psychological shackles.
At least Mu Yang doesn't like it now, let's talk about it when he gets older.
What the boss told him about JIAN30 also hoped that he would help, but he didn't force it.
Mu Yang pondered for a while, feeling that it would be okay to go and have a look at the future fighter jets. He heard that their engines were equipped, and they were preparing for the sixth generation.
To be precise, it is between the fifth and sixth generations.
To achieve the sixth generation, there must be a major breakthrough in intelligence, such as automatic search and locking of enemy aircraft within the radar range, stealth, advanced anti-missile technology, and a series of indicators must be met.
Since he planned to take a look, Mu Yang directly called the big brother's secretary, saying that he would go and take a look in a few days, and asked him to arrange a contact.
Just half an hour after Mu Yang hung up the phone, he received an unfamiliar call. The area code showed that it was from Rongcheng, and it might be from the Rongcheng Machine Design Institute.
After answering the phone, a slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone, and the voice was a middle-aged man.
"Hello, is this Mr. Mu? I am Yang Wei, the director of Rongcheng Aircraft Design Institute. I just received a call from the leader above. I was a little surprised."
"Hello, that's me. I just called the above."
"Hi, Mr. Mu, it's a great honor, I really didn't expect it to be you.
It’s like this. Some time ago, the senior leader came to our unit for inspection. I told the senior leader about the difficulties in the work and hoped to get help from Xinghai Group. At that time, I just mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, the senior leader took this matter to heart.
Welcome Mr. Mu to our unit to guide the work. On behalf of the unit, I warmly welcome Mr. Mu's arrival. "
From Yang Wei's tone, Mu Yang could tell that he was seven points excited and three points embarrassed.
He tried his best to explain the process and the reason, hoping that Mu Yang would not mind, for fear that Mu Yang would get angry, but at the same time, he also hoped to get help from Xinghai Group, but he didn't know who to ask for help.
It is true that Yang Wei is an academician and the chief designer of JIAN20, but in front of people who are more advanced in scientific research than him, he admires him very much.
Well, Niucha's afterburning turbofan engines have been developed, and there are two in their unit. He regards them as treasures, and he is really afraid that they will be broken.
With a perverted engine and vigorously flying bricks, what worries him now is that the design of JIAN30 cannot match the advanced engine, and he hopes to communicate with Xinghai Group experts.
Scientific researchers admire people who are better than themselves. In the words of the locals, it is not an exaggeration for Yang Wei to call Mu Yang a teacher.
This is normal, not to mention today, Mu Yang went to other companies to train welding technicians in his previous life. Those older welders, no matter how technical they are, after learning about Mu Yang's profound professional knowledge, they respectfully call Mu Yang "Teacher Mu" ".
"Academician Yang, you're welcome. I've heard of you, and I admire you very much. I like JIAN20 very much, and I want to see you." Mu Yang said truthfully, but he didn't flatter him.
"Thank you. It's a great honor to be praised by Mr. Mu. We still have a few JIAN20s at the test airport. If Mr. Mu is interested, please guide us. There are still many problems that bother us." Mu Yang said , Yang Wei was less worried.
"Let's communicate with each other, you are an expert in fighter design." Mu Yang said modestly.
It is easier to get along with scientific researchers. The two chatted a lot about fighter jets. The more they talked, the more excited they became. Mu Yang is also very interested in fighter jets. He has never really touched a fighter jet, so he really wants to sit in it and experience it.
If he could fly a plane, he would like to try to fly it.
When he is free, Mu Yang really wants to learn how to fly a plane.
Every man, after learning to drive, is no longer satisfied, and then fantasizes about driving a sports car, yacht, airplane, or even an aircraft carrier.
After finishing the phone call, Mu Yang planned to leave the day after tomorrow.
This time to Rongcheng Aircraft Research Institute, Mu Yang planned to bring five students with him. The three students in the third class had to learn basic knowledge at school, so it was useless to bring them.
Last time, he asked his students to visit and study C919 at Shanghai Aircraft Corporation. After returning to report to him, Mu Yang tested the students and found that they all made progress.
This is the advantage of having a mentor than a cow. Even if Mu Yang doesn't give them knowledge, he can get in touch with advanced things and grow faster than his peers.
They are studying on the giant platform. Leng Han and Jin Wei's scientific research capabilities have reached the level of first-time Ph.D. They are currently working on a drone project, and the progress is not bad.
