Chapter 749: Vertical Assembly, Rocket Enters the Tower!

Zhou Rui revealed that he bought his first rocket. As always, this news received a lot of attention on the Internet.

"Someone bought a rocket in their twenties, and I bought my second half-price cone in my twenties, but I couldn't find anyone to join the venture."

"I want to practice squats on Mr. Zhou's big rocket!"

"Half-price rocket, it's okay, not full price, we have to keep working hard"

In the dormitory, Zhou Rui flipped through his comments section.

The person who "practiced squats" with a backhand was directly blocked and banned until 2077.

I clicked in and saw that it was a male number.

Why don't you kill them and keep them for the New Year?

Putting the phone aside, Zhou Rui continued to write and draw on the paper in front of him, and Che Gan beside him did the same.

On paper, it is a design drawing of a "rocket recycling smart accessory".

It was provided by Chegan.

As an engineer that Zhou Rui considers to be very spiritual, he has completed some design work during this time.

Zhou Rui, on the other hand, was helping him check for omissions and make comments and revisions.

"Boss, do you need to recycle the fairing too? Isn't it necessary?"

"No need, that thing isn't worth anything."

Chegan's plan was the earliest one.

On the surface of the rocket, add adjustable thrusters and controllable wind plates.

Then all the equipment is connected to the intelligent internal network, so that the rocket components can continuously adjust their posture during the landing process, and finally land slowly and straightly.

Its goals and principles are actually somewhat similar to the way Chang'e-3 landed on the moon, but more complicated.

In particular, some large components are very heavy. In order to obtain sufficient thrust, the thrust of the propeller cannot be adjusted low, and the rocket's own fuel system must be used.

Counting reserved fuel will inevitably reduce the payload of the rocket.

However, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages!

It is equivalent to the previous 800 yuan to go to the second floor to wash your feet for 60 minutes.

Now you can go upstairs for 300 and it takes 45 minutes at a time. It is obvious which one is more cost-effective.

An extra hour is cheaper than before!

At worst, we just wash our feet frequently!

In the dormitory, there was only the sound of two people writing.

We have said that "rocket recovery" will be completed in August, and we will never delay it until September.

Which ones were modified on site, which ones were ordered in advance, and which tools are needed, need to be decided tonight and arranged by someone.

After all, we will enter the "Tower" tomorrow.

Chang'e-3 is about to officially enter the launch process!

——————

July, 29th.

It is appropriate to marry, raise animals, and seek heirs, and there are no taboos.

Today is the day when "Chang 3B" enters the launch tower.

There are two launch towers in the Xichang base, and the "No. 2 station" was used for this mission.

The so-called launch tower can be understood as a "deformable" steel structure building.

Imagine a 100-meter-tall rectangular building with a zigzag hollow interior that can accommodate an entire rocket.

One side of it allows the large components of the rocket to enter, and then use the hoisting facilities on the roof to assemble the components piece by piece in the building.

Just like building blocks, it is called: vertical assembly.

Each floor of the building can face the corresponding rocket height, and the entire building is a three-dimensional factory.

Each part corresponds to different floors. Engineers can operate at close range and even walk around as needed.

When the rocket is completely assembled and launch is imminent, the other side of the building will open vertically.

The "transfer platform" below will slowly move the rocket out, not too far, just a few dozen meters, so that there is no "cover" on the rocket head and it can be launched.

Of course, different countries have different transmission tower models.

For example, there are some in which the rocket does not move, and the back of the tower is moved to make way for it, and some are assembled by "lowering" and then "straightening" with special tools. There are various types.

Small rockets can even be launched directly from a "car".

This is why rockets and missiles are only separated by a layer of window paper.

Xichang transmitting towers are fully enclosed permanent structures, so they look more like buildings than "steel towers". This type of structure is costly but has strong durability and functionality. It is also the mainstream method in China.

Zhou Rui arrived at the preparation site early in the morning to assist in the transfer of rocket parts.

Seeing the huge rocket parts being carefully hoisted on the special vehicle, Zhou Rui felt a surge of emotion.

Shan Chunyuan was still a little awkward and said, "Actually, you don't have to come, just go directly to the tower."

But Zhou Rui shook his head: "When you come to learn from me, you can't be picky about food. You must understand all the links."

After all, he is the man who wants to own the launch center in the future.

From hoisting, to transfer, and even this special vehicle.

He won't be doing these jobs in the future, but he must at least understand and understand.

Shan Chunyuan rubbed his tongue, but finally said nothing.

In the past few days, Zhou Rui spent most of his time in the "preparatory field" and mingled with them.

He and Zhou Rui lived together day and night, sharing the same clothes and food.

Just one of them is enough to sleep.

To be honest, my views on this leader Zhou have changed a lot.

I originally thought that in addition to owning a Fortune 500 company, this person is also a top scorer in the college entrance examination, a musical talent, a billionaire, a genius whose graduation thesis was published in "Science", a basketball master, and a possessor of eight-pack abs.

What else can he do?

But now, Shan Chunyuan has to admit that this is still an excellent engineer who is proficient in technology and down-to-earth.

And at a speed that he couldn't understand, he quickly mastered all aspects of "rocket technology".

On the first day, he would ask some simple questions.

On the third day, it was already others who asked him questions.

Zhou Rui's strategy was right. After taking the initiative to provoke him, a person who was completely uninterested in him and even repulsed him now had his mind full of him.

But before, he thought: Why did he do that?

Now he thinks: Why did he do that?

According to the working principle of the "launch tower", the rocket is naturally loaded from the bottom to the top, and the first one to be transported into the tower happened to be the huge tail engine section that Zhou Rui encountered on the way here.

Zhou Rui set off directly with the car, and when he drove into the tower, Zhou Rui looked up.

The dome is as high as a hundred meters, and there is a sense of insignificance at the bottom of a well.

There are layers of stairs, one after another, and engineers can reach any area of ​​the rocket from any position.

And below it, the transfer platform for placing rockets alone is as high as two floors.

Although I came in to see it two days ago, there was no one here at that time, so it didn't feel so shocking.

And now, dozens of engineers are busy in it.

This building has come alive.

The little taste of "great engineering"! It comes up in a snap!

Che Gan rubbed his hands like a fly, and said with emotion: "Boss, will we have the opportunity to build our own launch tower in the future?"

Zhou Rui smiled: "Be more confident, remove the word opportunity."

He and Che Gan have now completely entered the "rocket engineering group", while the Yutu group and Chang'e 3 don't need to come at this stage.

They will come when the "vertical assembly" reaches the final stage and the payload cabin is loaded.

In the empty launch tower, Zhou Rui clapped his hands and shouted heroically:

"Brothers! Be alert! Ensure quality and quantity! Let's work hard!"

"Oh!!"

As soon as this was said, everyone responded.

Zhou Rui nodded and strode forward, as if he was patrolling his home court!

After Zhou Rui left, Shan Chunyuan, who showed his figure, widened his eyes

Shouldn't this be my line?
