Chapter 983 Emergency Handling of Rocket Failure
Time was passing, and everyone was waiting quietly.
The man in work clothes was closely checking the specific situation in the launch silo through the monitoring screen.
He was Li Xiaofei, the leader of the rocket launch team.
A few minutes passed quickly.
The rocket appeared in the monitoring and slowly landed.
Everyone felt the ground tremble a little.
After more than ten seconds, it finally calmed down.
The rocket in the monitoring screen had also calmed down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the flight attitude control center said before that A85, although damaged, could land smoothly through calculation.
But that was calculated, there would still be a small probability of unexpected situations.
So they just put down the second layer of protection.
"Boom!"
The metal wall slowly rose, and they could see the rocket in the launch silo again.
The man in work clothes took a look at the temperature in the launch silo: 31 degrees.
So he immediately issued an order.
"Begin a comprehensive inspection of the rocket."
With this order, everyone immediately walked into the launch silo.
Begin to operate various instruments to inspect the rocket.
At the same time, the countdown on the command center side was updated again.
[2 hours and 35 minutes]
"No abnormality in the engine test!"
"No abnormality in the internal sensor test!"
"There is a 14-centimeter scar 7 meters away from the outer shell, and the middle 3 centimeters has been perforated!"
The test results were reported one by one.
At first, it was normal.
As a result, a major problem appeared.
The outer shell of the rocket body had 3 perforations.
"Immediately check if there are other problems inside the rocket?"
"Received!"
The rocket cabin was opened, and the engineer on the gimbal immediately entered the rocket body.
Begin to check various parts.
At the same time, some people began to transport the boxes brought back from the moon inside the rocket.
An engineer directly opened the safety device in the rocket body, ready to control the internal mechanical arm to grab the box.
He had just connected the power supply and was immediately attracted by the buzzer.
It was found that the operation display light on the mechanical arm turned red.
"Report, the mechanical arm inside the rocket is damaged!"
While speaking, he began to test through the personal terminal he brought with him. A series of codes appeared, and soon showed where the problem was.
"Report: Sensor chips of robot arm B3 and C14 are damaged!"
Another engineer immediately climbed up through the simple ladder and walkway inside the rocket.
The flexibility of the whole climb was completely unlike that of a research engineer. This was all due to the use of life purification liquid and body forging.
All people's physical fitness had been improved several times.
In just a few seconds, the engineer had arrived at a place.
"There are traces of high temperature burns on the joints of the robot arm!"
After saying that, he immediately began to check the inner wall of the rocket next to him, and soon he found a trace on the left side that was several tens of centimeters in size.
There was a hole in the middle that was about 3 meters in size.
"Team leader, the place where I found the problem inside the rocket should be caused by high temperature burns when entering the atmosphere."
"Check if there are any other damaged places around immediately."
"No, there is only the robot arm."
"Scan immediately!"
The engineer immediately took out a portable device and began to scan the rocket body at this position.
A beam of light swept across the damaged area.
A three-dimensional image of the broken rocket body also appeared on the large screen in the command room at the same time.
Li Xiaofei immediately said: "The maintenance team should take a look and see how long it will take to repair this wound!"
The repair team on one side began to calculate quickly through the computer.
Finally, a world appeared in front of him.
"Team leader, there are currently two options. One is to directly replace the entire rocket body there. This process is more time-consuming and requires: "Then you can replace a plate, which is safer!"
The maintenance team nodded.
Immediately left the command room.
Soon, he appeared in the launch silo. A door on one side opened and a huge plate was dragged out.
And he directed people to start cutting the damaged rocket body.
Li Xiaofei immediately contacted the flight control center.
"Flight control center, this is the rocket launch center! A85 has just landed successfully, but it has been damaged and cannot work within 8 hours!"
"Therefore, you need to adjust all the rocket tracks behind, and the No. 1 launch silo currently in use will be deactivated!"
"Received, please tell me the number of the launch silo that will be adjusted! "
Li Xiaofei immediately entered a series of commands on the computer.
Then he opened a cover on the operating table, and five buttons appeared inside.
They were marked with numbers 1-5.
Now, among the five buttons, the button marked with 1 is green, and the others are red.
He dialed button No. 1, and button No. 1 immediately turned red.
Then he dialed button No. 2, and the red turned green.
If you look at the Yidian launch base from the sky, you can immediately find that one launch silo is closed and the other is opened.
"Xiaotian, take a group of people to check the No. 2 launch silo to see if there is any problem. "
"Okay, team leader!"
The man called Xiaotian immediately led a group of people to the command center, not far from Gate 1, and about 60 degrees above the standard Gate 2.
He pressed the button.
The next moment, the gate opened and the steel wall on one side rose.
Immediately, a transparent gate and a huge floor-to-ceiling glass were revealed, and opposite the glass was another identical rocket silo.
Xiaotian and others immediately walked into the gate on one side.
Then they descended quickly.
It turned out that the gate was an elevator.
