Chapter 557 The Rocket Exploded
The design of spacesuits inside and outside the cabin requires the accumulation of professional skills and experience in various aspects, and requires continuous exploration and research.
Mu Yang didn't have that time, so he bought related technology directly from the achievement point store, spent 200 achievement points, and then spent 20% more achievement points to realize the data.
A few minutes later,
He has absorbed the new technology.
In terms of material selection, the new spacesuit adopts new fiber materials, polymer materials, smart materials, etc. These materials have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, softness, and protection. Adapt to temperature changes in different environments.
At the same time, ergonomic principles are adopted in the design, focusing on the astronauts' activity space, posture comfort, respiratory system, sewage system, etc., in order to improve the astronauts' work efficiency and quality of life in space.
In addition, the functional design of anti-radiation, anti-cosmic gravel and other functions are relatively novel.
The design of these two space suits, the color matching and lines are smooth and natural, fashionable and beautiful, full of futuristic sense, which is very in line with the aesthetic needs of young astronauts.
Of course, to manufacture such a spacesuit, several new materials need to be developed first.
After finishing the space suit inside and outside the cabin, Mu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, he will hand over the information to the R&D department.
He spent a total of 240 achievement points, which cannot be earned back from the market, but it can ensure the safety and work efficiency of the astronauts.
In the future, I will also use such an advanced space suit, as long as it involves life safety, it is worth spending this achievement point.
Mu Yang came to the biomedical laboratory on the 105th floor to check various conditions of his body.
After the examination, all the indicators of his body were normal, especially his immune system was stronger than before.
More than ten days have passed since the injection of Life No. 1, and according to the results of the blood test, he has absorbed the power of Life No. 1 medicine.
There was no discomfort during the period, in fact, he was worrying too much.
The system is produced, since it is said to be safe, it must be no problem.
If he didn't open it, he developed it himself. Even if the medicine has been shown to be safe after several years of human clinical trials, Mu Yang will still be worried. Some medicines will only show sequelae after several years of use.
In the next two weeks, he will have regular check-ups, eat healthy and keep exercising. He plans to use Life One for his family by the end of April.
Now that Life No. 1 is proven to be safe, family members should use it early and enjoy the benefits.
If after a few years, the wife is old, the health of grandparents is getting worse, and the parents will accumulate more ailments, and then take Life One, it may be too late, or the effect will not be better if you take it now.
Mu Yang returned to the living room on the 101st floor, and stood in front of the French windows on the balcony to watch the scenery of the company.
City H in April is already in full bloom in spring.
Various flowers such as cherry blossoms and peach blossoms bloom at the headquarters base, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes people feel refreshed.
After get off work, employees especially like to stroll along these green paths.
If it is night, the temperature is not high and the cool breeze is blowing, suitable for walking.
"How time flies!"
Mu Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's been eight or nine years since he was reborn, and after another five or six years, he won't have the foresight advantage of rebirth.
However, in the past few years, very few people have been able to take advantage of the rebirth, so it doesn't matter anymore.
two o'clock in the afternoon,
Mu Yang came to the engine laboratory to check the development progress of the AN05-02J engine.
In two months time, this project will be one year old.
In terms of volume, the diameter of the AN05-02J engine is more than twice that of the AN05-01J engine, and the theoretical maximum afterburner thrust can reach a terrifying 100 tons. It is ready to be applied to ground-effect aircraft and future aerospace aircraft.
Walking into the laboratory, I saw that the staff were assembling the AN05-02J engine.
The design of the engine was completed in June last year, and now all the components have been produced, various performance tests have been carried out initially, and the assembly was only carried out at the beginning of this year.
"Chairman, hello!"
"Well, how is the progress of the 02J engine now?" Mu Yang saw the technical team leader greet him, and asked casually.
The other scientific researchers were immersed in their work. When they saw the chairman coming, they took a look and continued to work.
"Although it is enlarged several times on the basis of AN05-01J, there are still many problems in the development. We expect to complete the large-scale assembly of the whole machine in about a month, and then enter the performance test of the whole machine..."
Mu Yang nodded after listening. He knew that this project was of great significance. Once it was successfully developed, it could solve the heart problem of large aircraft, and at the same time, it would greatly improve the country's military strength.
Both AN05-01J and 02J were designed by him, and he has a deep understanding of this project. Next, Mu Yang discussed the very difficult problems with the technical team leader and gave solutions.
During the discussion, Mu Yang constantly put forward his own opinions and suggestions, and at the same time listened to the opinions of the technical team leader and other participants.
"Chairman, with your help, we are much more relaxed." The technical team leader smiled easily.
"Yes, I found a lot less confusion," said other researchers.
Mu Yang smiled gently: "In the process of scientific research, my role is not a leader, but also a member of the team, facing challenges and solving problems with everyone.
Only through cooperation and collaboration can we create better products and technologies. "
As a leader, you must be humble to a certain extent, and you must also integrate into the team. At the same time, let everyone in the team play their own strengths and work together to create better results together. This is also the core idea of "flat management" and "teamwork" advocated in modern management concepts.
The scientific research offices of Xinghai Group are all open, and technical managers, team leaders, and employees are all gathered in one hall, which allows employees and leaders to communicate directly, eliminates management levels, and encourages cooperation and communication among departmental employees.
Of course, there is another advantage: it is a bit difficult for employees to fish.
Once fishing, it is easy to be discovered by the leader, and it is quite embarrassing to be seen by colleagues.
Of course, except for some people who are particularly thick-skinned.
In fact, this kind of "flat management" is really not suitable for office workers who want to make a living.
It is best to go to a company that is not too big or small. The office should not be too big. Twenty or thirty square meters is enough. There are only two or three people and no leaders. In this way, everyone is fishing in troubled waters.
However, Mu Yang is someone who has experienced it, and he understands that this kind of office is too "free", and it is difficult to supervise and motivate employees to work.
Therefore, when he first established the company, he canceled the small office.
He adopted a golden mean -- the open office.
He asked leaders not to interfere with employees too much, but they should also conduct follow-up and inspection from time to time to ensure that the work is completed on time and with high quality.
In this way, a certain degree of freedom of employees is preserved, the work will not be too depressing, and it also avoids the situation where employees live by fishing.
This kind of management style and culture is actually very common in large companies. To put it nicely, it is "convenient for everyone to work and communicate";
The ugly point is "the boss doesn't want anyone to fish for life".
If the boss does not understand this point, it means that he has not understood "flat management".
Mu Yang had a general understanding of the progress of AN05-02J, helped solve some technical problems, and did not leave the laboratory until after get off work.
In the next period of time, he will often go to this laboratory to promote engine development.
He was also a little worried, the thrust reached 100 tons, it was too scary.
Quantity increases, many things will undergo qualitative changes.
If it is not done well, it will directly "BOOM" before it rises.
If this is the case, it is estimated that foreigners will cheer.
However, foreigners have a habit, and Mu Yang also finds it strange. For example, if Musk's rocket explodes, they may applaud fiercely and then cheer.
If it is a Chinese, it is estimated that there is a sigh.
Xinghai Group has not launched a rocket for three or four months since the Starnet launch mission was completed, and Chinese people hope to see Xinghai Group launch a rocket.
It's fine if you didn't know it before, but now many people like to watch Xinghai Group launch rockets.
Compared with the country's rocket launches, the Xinghai Group's rocket launches are more interesting. Y TV also asked the Xinghai Group when they can broadcast live, so that the citizens can experience advanced rocket launches.
Citizens can see the world's advanced rocket launches, which is conducive to national patriotism and increases national cohesion.
Thinking of this, Mu Yang agreed to wait until the next rocket launch and announce it to the outside world.
At the same time, he also agreed to make an announcement when the ground-effect aircraft was tested.
Now it is too difficult for the Xinghai Group to hide the experiment, and the satellites of all countries are watching every move of the Xinghai Group.
After so many things, the governments of all countries know that despite the fact that the Xinghai Group has been so quiet during this period, it must be holding back a big move.
Others laughed secretly when they had a bomb, but the Xinghai Group first came with 4 aces, first to bombard you, then came to 4 2s, and then came to the big and small kings,
When you think it's over, there are still a few more fried in the back.
Never give your competitors a chance to fight back, it will definitely blow you away.
It's not on the same level at all, that's what it is.
Ugly country criticizes Xinghai Group's behavior of concealing experiments as immoral and not in line with international rules. I feel that Xinghai Group should abide by international laws and rules, and conduct experiments and research in a more transparent and legal way.
Mu Yang felt that this was bullshit, and told the company spokesperson not to speak, just treat it as fart.
In the final analysis, it was just complaining about Xinghai Group playing routines, and they had been tricked a few times, but they couldn't play by themselves.
In response to this situation, the more you refute, the happier you will be.
Therefore, never let the other party lead you by the nose.
On April 4th, Xinghai Group helped Yishiguo launch 3 communication satellites, which were broadcast live on the whole network.
This is the first order received by Xinghai Group, the contract order is 180 million US dollars, and it will be launched into geosynchronous orbit.
Before that, the island country will also launch 3 communication satellites. Originally, this could be launched together with an order from the country. emission.
The media of the island country exaggerated the SPACEX company, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the island country’s official propaganda is carried out.
In order to prove that his space company is no worse than that of the Xinghai Group, Musk had to schedule the launch two hours in advance of the Xinghai Group, and it happened to be at 9:00 in the morning in Huaguo.
Interestingly, before the rocket was launched, Musk began to "report the good news": He hailed the rocket's "exciting launch" on Twitter and expressed "warm congratulations" to the SpaceX team.
This incident has attracted global attention and has been reported enthusiastically by various media.
Obviously, this is an act of commercial competition.
If a certain party fails to launch, and they get together to launch, they will definitely face huge economic and reputation losses.
When SPACEX launched the satellite of the island country, it also conducted a global live broadcast.
In the Hua country time zone, it was exactly 9:00 am.
When the Falcon 9 rocket took off smoothly, the entire Ugland Internet cheered.
Thousands of people watched the live broadcast of this launch in front of the big screen in the old Xinshan City Square in Ugly Country.
"WOW, well done!"
"Awesome!"
The cheers grew louder.
However, when the rocket flew for about two minutes, the rocket engine suddenly emitted white smoke.
If you are an industry person, you can probably guess that the gas leaked and solidified in the air.
Even ordinary people at the scene can guess that something is wrong with the rocket when they see the white smoke.
At this time, Musk was sitting in the rocket launch control center and frowned when he saw something abnormal.
"The valve is leaking!"
Some researchers are reporting the cause of the problem.
The scientific researchers in the control center have panicked, and many of them are downcast.
For the audience in Ugly Country, some people are pulling their hair and their palms are sweating, hoping that the launch will be successful, so don't be surprised.
Soon, the rocket trajectory began to deviate from the original flight trajectory, and the rocket shook violently.
"F*K!"
Musk cursed secretly, he knew the launch had failed.
the more you hope, the harder you fall!
It's a little early to be happy.
Other researchers also know the results.
Eventually, the rocket exploded seconds later, sending flames and debris flying in all directions.
Old Xinshan City Square,
Just now, a group of supporters at the scene suddenly rose from the ground as they counted down in unison.
But after only flying for more than two minutes, it turned into a huge fireball under the eyes of everyone.
The sudden change in the plot caused the scene to suddenly fall into exclamation, and then continued to curse.
This failure not only disappointed Musk and his research team, but also disappointed the audience in Ugly Country.
If the launch of the rocket and satellite fails, the entrusting island country has the right to demand that SPACEX bear the losses and make compensation.
The specific compensation standards and methods are clearly stipulated when signing the contract. Usually, the satellite entrusting party can obtain the costs of satellite manufacturing, transportation, insurance, etc., as well as commercial losses and profit losses caused by the failure of the satellite to complete the expected tasks.
Of course, a satellite launch failure may involve multiple responsible parties, including satellite manufacturers, rocket manufacturers, launch service providers, and more.
The entrusting party needs to distinguish between different responsible parties and negotiate with them to reach a compensation agreement.
When the island nation signed the agreement with SPACEX, it believed that the launch would be successful. In order to reduce the launch cost, the insurance cost was canceled, and the compensation received was much less.
Of course, SpaceX lost the most, and Musk scolded him.
Originally, Tesla’s operations were poor and its profits were meager. Now that Spacex has failed again, it will be more difficult to receive orders in the future.
This is really adding insult to injury!
This time the launch failed, and in less than an hour, the global media reported it, which attracted the attention of netizens around the world.
On the contrary, the audience in Hua Country was filled with joy.
"Lovely island country, why not choose Xinghai Group!"
"Forget it, they have a lot of money. It's just that the launch failed and there was no satellite to use, so it was delayed for a long time."
"It is estimated that many foreigners are cursing the failure of Xinghai Group's launch, so the two sides will be tied."
"Musker is happy early, it's really interesting!"
"There is something even more interesting. He deleted the tweet he posted a few hours ago, but he never thought that the Internet has memory."
"Haha, that's a good point. The Internet has memories. It is estimated that many people took screenshots of his previous tweets. Such a sharp contrast is really funny."
Of course, this battle scene is not over yet.
After a while, Xingkong No. 1 of Xinghai Group will also launch a rocket.
Soon, the hour hand reached eleven o'clock in the morning.
The global live broadcast Xingkong-1 launches satellites, targeting geosynchronous orbit.
When Xing Kong No. 1 was successfully ignited, the Hua country audience cheered.
"Come on, we must succeed!"
"Be sure to be steady!"
As for the audience in the ugly country and the island country, many people shouted: "It must be bombed!"
"God, let's celebrate with fireworks!"
"Don't Hua people like to set off firecrackers, let's have one!"
The hour hand passed by second by second,
In three minutes, Xingkong-1 flew normally!
Five minutes later, the Rockets were still in order.
Many foreigners are cursing, hoping that Xinghai Group will set off fireworks.
However, the result was not as they wished, and the communication satellite went into orbit smoothly.
The people of Hua Kingdom cheered excitedly, and after a while, the Xingkong-1 rocket was successfully recovered, and there was another round of cheers.
For foreigners who don't like Xinghai Group, it is the opposite expression.
A few hours later, the launch of the Xinghai Group and the SpaceX rocket was quickly circulated in domestic and foreign media. The reports on this topic were unprecedentedly hot, and at the same time attracted the attention of all walks of life.
Some media reporters sprinkled salt on Musk's wounds and asked him what it was like to experience a failed rocket launch.
Musk was very calm, he pouted and said with a smile: "Every great achievement in history requires a certain degree of risk. Sometimes, failure is not necessarily failure, and we have learned a lot from it."
On the same day, Musk's words made hot news, and many media satirized him.
The "black fans" who had long been impatient with the "Mask-style happy funeral" immediately started to mock the mode: Warner Bros. satellite news network HBO official account immediately released a picture played by Carl through the official Twitter account A photo of the movie character Roman gazing at himself and pitying himself, satirizing Musk’s another act of covering up his faults and reporting good news but not bad news;
A space agency executive said the launch of the Falcon 9 was an "impressive step", praised the lift-off ignition stage as an "incredible success" and "a lot of lessons can be learned", expressing "belief that SpaceX will solve the problem quickly and Return to the launch pad as soon as possible."
Sarah, the science editor of Eagle Country's "Daily Telegraph", seized the scene to provide comments on the live broadcast of the launch to ridicule.
...
In contrast to the successful launch of Xingkong No. 1 of the Xinghai Group, many media in Ugly Country were a little sour.
that night,
Huaguo Y TV made a brief report on this launch, congratulating Xinghai Group on its first successful commercial launch.
after a few days,
This rocket launch farce ended up in hot news.
