Chapter 579 Launching a Rocket Is as Easy as Drinking Water
Chapter 579 Launching a rocket is as easy as drinking water
At the end of March, the weather in Liugutou, Ningcheng is quite changeable, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, with occasional showers.
Although it is a bit remote here, the air is fresh, the grass is lush, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. The employees of the rocket base like the air here, and some employees like to go to the beach to watch the sea in their free time.
On the launch platform of Xinghai Group's rocket base, there is already a towering rocket that reaches a height of more than 100 meters. It is Xing Kong No. 2.
In the past few days, the staff have been conducting pre-launch testing.
Each item must be tested by two groups at different times, and the last group is to check for leaks and fill in vacancies.
The test procedure of Xingkong-2 is the same as that of Xingkong-1 during the first test. Although Xingkong-1 uses the same engine, there may be no problems with the engine.
However, the volume of Xingkong-2 has increased by more than 8 times, and its weight has also increased several times. There are many issues to consider, such as air resistance, friction temperature, attitude adjustment during landing, and so on.
During the preparation for the test, the staff and experts in the base were very nervous, because the success of this test is directly related to the development of the next plan.
They concentrated on observing various data, monitoring and checking every detail of the rocket.
Another three days passed, April 1st.
Today is the planned launch test day, and the launch time is set at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The Xingkong-2 rocket has been exposed. There is really no way to hide such a big rocket, and Xinghai Group has never thought about hiding anything. The layout of the star network is successful, and it doesn't care about the rocket launch test. It also allows the local TV station to broadcast the launch live. After the audience watches it, it will help enhance the cohesion of the Chinese people.
Therefore, the Xinghai Group also announced that it will conduct a test today, which is also in preparation for the launch of the space station, and various media have frantically reported it.
"Xinghai Group will conduct the world's largest launch vehicle test"
"Shock: Xingkong-2 has a carrying capacity of 1,000 tons! "
"The largest rocket in history, Xinghai Group will shock the world again"
Netizens from all over the world also commented.
"Xinghai Group's rocket launch frequency is too high! You can see their news almost every moment."
"As an overseas Huaren, I pay tribute to all aerospace workers of Xinghai Group. This is also the pride of the Hua people, and it also makes us Hua people respected overseas."
"Our island country fails to launch every year, and the Xinghai Group launches whenever it wants to. For them, it is like drinking water."
"Although they haven't launched yet, I feel that they will succeed, and every time Musk's SPACEX is launched, I feel a little uneasy."
The rocket has not yet been launched, and there have been many discussions in relevant foreign media forums. Hundreds of millions of people around the world are once again focusing on the rocket launch of Xinghai Group.
this morning,
Mu Yang and his family set off from home on a super yacht, preparing to go to the launch base to watch the launch, this time including his wife and children.
It is also a rare opportunity to bring children to the work site this time, allowing children to better understand rocket science knowledge. Mu Yang hopes to influence children's interest in science through the environment.
The two children are about to be five years old, and they are much smarter than children of the same age, and they are no longer ignorant.
If other children of the same age hear the word "rocket", they may not understand what it is.
However, Mu Yang's children know what's going on. In the kindergarten science books, there are relevant introductions, and they also introduce the Xinghai Group's rockets. There are also many technological models in the kindergarten. They also know that this is the content of their father's work. one.
So, this morning, when they heard that they were going to the scene to observe the rocket launch, the two little guys were very excited and jumped up happily.
"Brother, we are going to see the real rocket!"
"Well, sister, what do you think a real rocket looks like?"
"I haven't seen the real one either. I have to ask my father. I heard that the rocket was designed by my father." Xiao Xi had a smile on his face. At that time, the two went to his father and asked about this and that.
However, in order to educate children, it is rare for children to be interested in science, so they had to patiently explain each question, feeling like an encyclopedia, and did not stop asking until the two little guys were tired of asking.
If I told the child last night, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night, and would lie on the bed and ask him all night.
For this trip, Mu Yang chose a yacht.
In addition to the yacht, he and his family can also take the Feilong ground-effect aircraft to the past, which is faster.
However, the Flying Dragon is now used to transport supplies, and Xinghai Group can use the Flying Dragon as long as there are urgent materials or large-scale equipment to be transported.
For example, the Xingkong-2 rocket is transported using the Dragon.
On the yacht, Xiao Xi and Xiao Fan poured tea for their father, while Mu Yang lay on the sofa and continued to answer the child's questions.
"Dad, what is hydrogen gas?"
"Hydrogen is..."
Mu Yang had to explain patiently that the two boys continued to bomb him in turn. At first they only asked why the rocket could fly, but now they asked such detailed questions.
You can't find excuses to perfunctory the child. If the number of times is too much, the child will lose interest in learning and asking questions.
When he was about to arrive at the rocket base dock, Mu Yang pulled the two children in front of him, and said solemnly: "When we arrive at the place in a while, remember to don't remember the three. Tell me, if you don't remember, you are not allowed to go."
"Don't run around, don't shout, don't touch things." The two little guys said in unison, Mu Yang only said it twice, and he could remember it.
"Tell me, why is it like this?"
"Dad said that there are many dangerous places on the job site, you can't run around, you can't shout and affect the work of adults, uh, and, I don't remember."
"Sister, don't touch anything that isn't yours."
"Yeah." Mu Yang nodded, "Very good, we will do what we say."
"Dad, pull the hook."
Mu Yang smiled and hooked up with the two little hands, looking at the two children with satisfaction, feeling relieved.
He is most afraid that the child will be too naughty, grow up to be arrogant, and use the power of his parents to do evil.
After a while, the yacht docked at the pier.
Mu Yang and his wife left the yacht with their children, played around the pier, and watched the rocket near the rocket.
After dinner, rest on the yacht for a while.
When it was almost half past seven, it was time to go to the control center.
"Okay, we're at the place, remember to be obedient, and don't leave your parents' sight." Mu Yang and Song Xuelu pulled a child each, and got into the car with big strides.
A few minutes later,
When Mu Yang came to the control center, he took the children to inspect the work area and told them which places were dangerous and which equipment should not be touched.
The children listened carefully and looked at everything around them curiously. Those father's colleagues greeted their father warmly and looked at them curiously.
They discovered that the workplace is not just a toy for adults, but requires many rules and precautions.
Mu Yang handed the child to Song Xuelu, and then communicated with Ye Fan.
"Chairman, everything is ready."
"Okay, follow the plan." Mu Yang replied easily.
Ye Fan heard the chairman's order, turned around and continued to work, waiting for the time to come.
At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone on the scene held their breath and watched the rocket on the launch pad.
There was also a TV station filming the scene. Mu Yang brought the children, but he did not get permission to film Mu Yang's family.
At this time, Ye Fan looked solemn, and shouted to the experimenters:
"Check the launch site!"
"Report, the inspection is complete, everything is normal."
"Check fuel condition, air pressure condition..."
The countdown sounded, and a tense atmosphere permeated the scene.
10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds...
1 second
"ignition!"
The launch order was issued, and the roar of the rocket engine was deafening.
There was also a continuous and huge roar from the rocket launch site, and then, a huge white smoke came out from under the rocket.
The huge rocket rises from the ground and rises slowly, with bright white flames sprayed from the tail, pointing directly at the sky.
At night, this flame is particularly obvious, illuminating the entire island brightly and looking spectacular.
It can be said that rocket launches at night are very entertaining.
All scientific researchers held their breath and stared at the constantly changing data on the screen.
Seeing that the adults didn't speak, Xiao Xi and Xiao Fan suppressed their excitement, opened their eyes wide, and opened their mouths slightly, watching the rocket on the screen getting higher and higher.
The surrounding scientific researchers, seeing the surprised appearance of the two little guys, felt so cute and couldn't help laughing.
The on-site staff still recorded and broadcast the every move of the two children, as a souvenir, maybe after they grow up, looking at the photos of their childhood may feel different.
The surrounding scientific researchers are also very envious of these two children who grew up with golden spoons, and they can do whatever they want.
The chairman's approach is correct. In the future, the Xinghai Group is likely to be handed over to the two children. If the ability is insufficient, the Xinghai Group may decline.
Therefore, the on-site researchers also hope that Mu Yang's children will grow up and be able to continue the glory of the chairman.
Time passed by, the rocket gradually disappeared into the clouds, and people's moods relaxed.
Everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. The first half of this launch test was successful. Normally, there should be no accidents later.
Xiaoxi and Xiaofan watched the adults talk, they also relaxed and asked the mother next to them.
"Ma Ma, it turns out that rocket launches are like this."
"Well, it's not finished yet, and it's still flying in space." Song Xuelu affectionately touched the heads of the two kids.
"Oh, then let's continue watching, but the surroundings are completely dark, we can't see anything, and I feel a little tired after watching for a long time."
"It's already very high in the sky, there are no objects around, of course I can't see it."
"Ma Ma, can Ultraman fly so high?"
"..." Song Xuelu didn't know how to answer.
About ten minutes later, the Xingkong-2 rocket reached the predetermined orbit, and the fairing was opened for the drill.
Then, return trip!
The rocket recovery time is slower instead.
Mu Yang's two children kept discussing in their mouths.
After another ten tense minutes, the Xingkong-2 rocket was successfully recovered and landed stably at the designated location.
The staff and experts all breathed a sigh of relief, and then burst into warm applause and cheers, less than a minute, and then continued to work.
Xiaoxi and Xiaofan knew that the rocket had really completed the task, so they also applauded.
The TV audience saw this spectacular scene through the live broadcast, and they witnessed a historic moment, especially the domestic audience, burst into warm applause and cheers.
This also means that the Xinghai Group will try to launch a test space station in the next step.
Ten minutes later, Mu Yang took his family away from the control center, after all, it was too late.
But Xiaoxi and Xiaofan kept talking about what they saw and heard today, and they were very excited to see the rocket launch and recovery with their own eyes.
Mu Yang smiled and listened to what they said. It is a good thing for children to get in touch with technology, understand the world in advance, and grow up with positive energy.
Back on the yacht, Mu Yang took a shower and went to bed.
That night, the two children were also tired and fell asleep quickly.
But this night was not a peaceful night.
The host of the TV station said: "Friends from the audience, the success of the Xingkong-2 rocket launch test is not only an important milestone in Xinghai Group's aerospace industry, but also a demonstration of my country's scientific and technological strength and an improvement of its international status.
The success of this test has let the world see the strong strength and technical level of Huaguo Aerospace;
According to relevant data, this time the rocket launch, in addition to Chinese people, there are hundreds of millions of Chinese people paying attention to the Xingkong-2 launch.
Congratulations to Xinghai Group, another world record has been created, and we look forward to the next launch of the space station. "
The audience in front of domestic TV stations watched the launch of Xinghai Group Xingkong-2 through live broadcast, and had heated discussions.
"We are proud of the strength of our motherland! Thanks to Xinghai Group, and thanks to the scientific and technological workers who are fighting on the front line, you have worked hard!"
"The crooked people think this is the light of mankind, and some so-called Chinese think that Musk is the light of mankind, no, they all think that all the crooked people are the light of mankind, they are blind!"
"Three Kingdoms will do it within two years, and will completely surpass the Xinghai Group in three years' time."
"Ah San probably went up on a motorcycle, or by stacking arhats? No, they can bend a tree to use it as a slingshot, and then fly a rocket up!"
"I heard that the island country sent people to TQ University to jointly research rocket engines, and also wanted to cooperate with Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, but Jiangsu and Zhejiang University refused."
...
The video quickly spread abroad, and many foreign netizens felt that they had eaten a big bottle of sour vinegar.
I'm really afraid that domestic netizens guessed it right. Many netizens said: "Five years later, our country will be the most developed superpower in the world, and it will not be a big deal to launch a bigger rocket into space. Love from Delhi!"
Netizens in most countries were shocked and praised more.
"Xinghai Group's launch of a rocket is really as simple as drinking water, but it is a huge difficulty for other countries. Next time I hear that Xinghai Group is building a space station, going to the moon or something, I won't be surprised anymore."
"Seeing the Hua people launch rockets again, I always feel very relieved, but the rockets of other countries make me feel worried."
"It is estimated that the Xinghai Group is about to land on the moon. Look at the expressions of their scientific researchers. They just smiled slightly, applauded symbolically, and then went back to work. It seems that they have become accustomed to it."
The sciatic nerve is painful and uncomfortable, which seriously affects the code words
