Chapter 1311 The Empire Group Enters the Space Age!

March 31, 1991.

Sunday.

Today is a holiday.

At this time, many people have learned from newspapers and TV stations that the Empire Group will officially launch its first artificial satellite tonight, and Hong Kong's Asia Television will broadcast the entire process live. At that time, Hong Kong citizens can watch the satellite launch live at home by watching TV.

At this time, many people in Hong Kong are indeed paying attention.

Of course, some people don't know what they are thinking, but they hope that the satellite launched by the Empire Group will eventually fail, which will make the world feel like a joke.

On the other hand, many Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong even specially calculated for Sir Yang, the Empire Group, and even this satellite launch. They think that tonight is a very good day, and the Empire Group's artificial satellite launch will definitely be successful.

However, in any case, this artificial satellite launch has indeed affected many people.

Because today is Sunday, Yang Ming did not return to the Empire Group Building headquarters.

However, now the Empire Group Building, including the cabinet, the secretariat, and other executives, seem to be very nervous, and they are also nervously waiting for the launch of this artificial satellite.

Wait until dinner is over in the evening.

It was getting closer to 20:30 in the evening.

Yang Ming was still in the study, and Yang Jirong and his wife and others were already in front of the Asian TV station, ready to watch.

Now the TV station has started live broadcasting.

From the live broadcast site, this is an island near the Xisha Islands. This island is not very large, and the area may be only a few square kilometers, and there are many buildings around it.

Among them, the most conspicuous place is the rocket launch tower built high in the middle, which looks nearly a hundred meters high.

Next to the rocket launch tower is the rocket independently designed and manufactured by the Empire Group, which also looks very large.

Just from these, it is very eye-catching.

Of course, the reporter does not know the specific data, and the Empire Group has not disclosed it to the outside world. However, according to foreign experts in this field, the Empire Group's rocket launch tower and rocket are somewhat similar to the Soviet launch tower, but they are different.

Obviously, the Empire Group further designed different rocket launch towers based on the Soviet launch tower and rocket.

In addition.

Now there are hundreds of people in the launch center on the island and the launch center in Xiangjiang Science Park. They are all engineers, and most of them are white. Now, in addition to a large number of computers in front of them, there are also these people waiting anxiously.

In fact, these things in Xiangjiang are far more advanced than those in Sulian, including the advancement and capabilities of computers. Sulian couldn't actually do it at its peak.

In other words, from this point of view, the Empire Group can do this, and many people think that it has a lot to do with the Empire Group's reuse of white talents.

"Sir, the satellite will be launched soon, don't you go and see it?" Lan Jieying asked.

"I will know whether it is successful or not at the first time."

Yang Ming has waited for so long, he is really not in a hurry.

When the time came to 20:30 in the evening.

At this time, Chief Engineer Kozlov and others knew that it was about to start.

The rocket launch countdown was in progress.

"10!"

"9!"

. . .

"1!"

"Launch."

Kozlov personally pressed the red launch button, and the rocket spewed out a large amount of hot air. Two propellants were sprayed into the combustion chamber from different nozzles. After atomization, evaporation, and mixing, they spontaneously underwent violent oxidation and reduction reactions.

Everyone looked over and saw that the rocket had already separated from the launch tower and started to take off.

Now is also the most nervous time for everyone. Many rocket launches, that is, they failed not long after taking off and fell directly.

However, from now on, the rocket launch to takeoff still looks very successful.

After takeoff, the rocket will no longer fly vertically upwards, but turn a corner. This action is called a program turn. It is mainly to fly along the inclination of the earth to save the rocket's fuel. After this, the rocket will have multiple separation actions.

. . .

The rocket seems to be flying faster and faster. After the first and second stages of the rocket separate, the second stage engine starts and continues to accelerate.

The second stage rocket flies out of the atmosphere with the artificial satellite. At this time, the fairing protecting the artificial satellite will also end its mission and separate from the rocket.

The fairing is used to protect satellites and other payloads to prevent satellites from being affected by harmful environments such as aerodynamics, aerodynamic heating and acoustic vibration. It is an important part of the launch vehicle.

The second stage engine of the rocket stops working after the fuel is exhausted and separates from the artificial satellite. The second stage is divided into the main engine working section and the floating engine working section. When the main engine works for a certain period of time, the main engine stops working, and then the floating engine is used to send the artificial satellite into the predetermined orbit with a small thrust.

After the artificial satellite reaches the predetermined orbit, it separates from the launch vehicle.

This is a very critical signal.

At this time, the staff of the launch center on the island and the Xiangjiang Science Park Center cheered and applauded, because this meant that the first artificial satellite of the Empire Group has been successfully launched and sent to the designated orbit. At this moment, the meteorological satellite will also operate on this designated orbit.

In other words, the first artificial satellite launched by the Empire Group this time has been successful.

Not only was the rocket launched successfully, but the artificial satellite was also successfully brought to the relevant orbit.

This is the first group in the world that can do it.

It is also the first large group that successfully launched with independent capabilities after the Soviet Union, M country, F country, Japan, Z country and other countries.

This undoubtedly represents the strong strength of the Empire Group in this regard, and also represents that the Empire Group has officially entered the space age.

Yang Ming has known the news for the first time.

That night, Yang Ming received many congratulatory calls.

Including calls from the old man in China, Mr. Jiang, and even from Mrs. Satchel of Y country.

After all, this does represent the financial and technological strength of the Empire Group.

That night, many Hong Kong citizens, even Chinese and overseas Chinese, were proud of the Empire Group.

Yang Ming was at the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

After meeting with Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Huo Jianning and others, he went to the Hong Kong Science Park Center with them and celebrated with these staff members with champagne.

When Yang Ming returned to the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa, it was already late at night.

In fact, Yang Ming was still very excited.

Because he knew that the commercial launch of artificial satellites was of great significance.

Next, not only will meteorological satellites, broadcasting satellites, and communication satellites be launched into corresponding orbits in large numbers, further consolidating the Empire Group’s position and strength in this regard.
