Chapter 761 Intelligent Posture Adjustment System

As Zhou Rui expected, the model tilted mainly because the ground was uneven.

In the future, if the "rocket recovery" technology wants to be more accurate, it is still necessary to build some simple planes in the landing area, and then let the "intelligent attitude adjuster" slightly control the landing position.

Generally speaking, with the accuracy of the rocket trajectory, the landing error is generally no more than 1,000 meters. With the intelligent adjustment system, it will be more accurate, and it is completely worth making a concrete floor.

If it can land at a fixed point, it can also greatly reduce the evacuation area of ​​the "landing area", reduce the impact on people's lives, and reduce the work pressure in the landing area.

But in any case, this "full-size, full-weight" simulation test was a complete success.

Just now, when witnessing the "model" slowly landing, Zhou Rui also got a special inspiration.

In theory, if such a large rocket component can land slowly,

then other things can also be used.

For example, tanks? Chariots? Or smart device clusters?

If you open your mind a little, the "rocket recovery" technology can be used not only to recover rockets.

Theoretically, anything that falls from the atmosphere or even outside the atmosphere is its application field.

Zhou Rui thought of at least three application scenarios.

First: air-to-ground transportation, such as the delivery of some military engineering artifacts.

Second: It is the future lunar-to-earth logistics channel. Slow landing or slow landing on the moon will be much more useful than the current plan of Chang'e 3.

Third: If a form is changed, can a satellite be captured in the Earth orbit?

In principle, it is just a "drone" pulling a net to catch something.

However, this drone can adapt to low-Earth orbit, and its fuel system matches the working conditions without atmosphere.

Zhou Rui led people to the landing point. After a detailed inspection of the on-site situation, the landing area staff loaded the model onto the car.

The tilted model was not seriously damaged. It was just a little scratched and lying in the dry grass and bushes. It can be pulled back for careful study later.

The work of the landing area personnel is to "salvage" rocket debris frequently. They are equipped with crawler excavators and cranes that can travel in the wild, so they are familiar with the work.

It's just that they have never "salvaged" such a complete one.

It looks the same as new!

When the "rocket recovery technology" is officially put into large-scale application, the working mode and hardware configuration of the landing area must also be changed to adapt well.

It can only be said that it is a systematic project, and one move affects the whole body.

Zhou Rui stepped forward and used the two abilities of "engineering knock" and "physics touch" respectively. Before the model was transported back for system testing, he had already discovered a lot.

After giving instructions, he left some people here to supervise, and he led the team to embark on the journey back to the base.

The next step is to transform the real thing.

"Erbing" has been lying there for so many days with a perfect body.

It's time to break his virginity.

——————

After returning to the Xichang base, Zhou Rui devoted himself to the transformation of "Erbing".

This very "mature" rocket will be equipped with the most advanced intelligent attitude adjustment system.

The entire "rocket recovery project team" was divided into two parts, with about 5 people analyzing and testing the "model". Although Zhou Rui had already obtained most of these data, he still had to keep a record.

The other 35 people all started the transformation work, among which the core group of ten people was an important force, and all of them were here.

Since Zhou Rui had enough prediction and planning for the progress of the entire project before, all parts and equipment requirements have been concentrated in the "preparation field".

There will be no situation where something is not available or re-customized.

Under the three-shift system, they worked efficiently for nearly 40 hours in two days, and Zhou Rui himself even slept for only three hours.

"Unification of knowledge and action", "Simplifying the complex", "Unraveling the mystery"

Coupled with the touch of physics, the knocking of engineering, the smell of chemistry

and dozens of the world's top engineers and rocket experts

"Buff" is almost stacked on a page.

Finally, on August 10, Zhou Rui's "seven-day appointment" day.

"Erbing" equipped with an intelligent attitude adjustment system was successfully completed.

Full name: Long March 2 C F, (F stands for reusable)

Nickname: Erbing modified.

Shan Chunyuan looked at the finished product in front of him and felt confused.

It was too fast, everything was too fast.

So fast that there was no time to stop and think about whether he had a ball.

Or he had become a solitary testicle warrior, and his balls were two miles away.

Engineers like him who came from the mainstream system would be very uncomfortable relying entirely on their trust in Zhou Rui and their own level.

But at the moment of completion, I still felt

Is this really finished?

The Erbing modified in front of me, the first and second stage rockets have been modified, and they are the two most valuable of the four major parts.

As for the payload cabin and the drainage cover, the former is not something that needs to be considered at this stage, and the latter is simply unnecessary.

The first and second stage rockets have four streamlined reverse thrust ports on their pure white shells. They are not very large, like small ears.

It is a bit like a melon seed embedded in a white radish.

It is said that this shape was made possible by Mr. Zhou’s “all-powerful” connections, who contacted Rongfei Wind Tunnel to blow it.

This guy is really powerful

Each thrust port has four independently steerable nozzles.

Further down, close to the riveting position, are four hollow controllable wind panels. They close upward and tighten during the launch phase, assist in adjusting the attitude during the braking phase, and reversely act as a support when landing.

The material is lightweight titanium alloy, which is better than the quality of the rocket shell. After all, the rocket shell is designed as a one-time use, and the material performance is not as good as that of aviation-specific titanium alloy.

Don't ask, just ask. Mr. Zhou has many connections and good reputation.

The entire set, plus the connectors between the interior and the "Two Piece"'s own fuel system, constitutes all the hardware requirements for the "recycling rocket".

You say it's complicated, but it's not too complicated. At least it was very smooth under the leadership of Zhou Rui.

But you say it's simple

It’s so simple!

Shan Chunyuan touched his pocket, wanting to break his own rules and light a cigarette to calm down.

Didn't touch it

So he could only wipe his face, then hold his chin and say nothing, lost in thought.

Zhou Rui came over and said, "I'll go to Director Sun to report the situation and communicate the launch time. I'll leave the rest of the testing to you."

Although it was something he had knocked on, if he really wanted to convince Director Sun to launch, Shan Chunyuan's "safety approval" was also extremely important.

Director Sun trusts Shan Chunyuan more.

Shan Chunyuan pursed his lips and finally said: "Mr. Zhou, let's discuss something."

"you say."

"Take it easy for a few days"

Zhou Rui glanced at the future general, smiled and said, "What? No confidence anymore? You have participated in every step, and today is the seventh day."

Shan Chunyuan: "I know, I don't know how many times I have been shocked by this, but you have already obtained the legend. You will not lose anything if you wait for the next part of the test."

"On the contrary, only the successful launch of this rocket can be the evidence that you completed the 'rocket recovery' in seven days. Otherwise, this is just a mistake. Aerospace is a big gamble to verify all the efforts, but it will also take thousands of times. Be cautious in exchange for a chance to gamble,"

Seeing how sincere he was, Zhou Rui was not angry.

Being able to stick to one's own judgment is also an essential quality for a good engineer.

As expected of someone he values.

Zhou Rui patted Shan Chunyuan on the shoulder.

"In this way, next, it is up to you to independently judge and evaluate whether this long 2-C missile is qualified for launch. You do not need to consider my ideas. I will completely trust your judgment."

"I won't talk to you about the delay for a few days. You can test it 100 times. I will apply for launch normally, but you can stop it at any time."

After saying that, Zhou Rui turned around and left the preparation field.

According to the original plan, I went to find Director Sun.

No matter Shan Chunyuan nods here or not,

The initial project of the "rocket recovery" technology has indeed been completed. Please let me know.
