With the long vacation over, everyone immediately plunged into heavy work.
The same goes for Wu Hao. His work after taking leave is more arduous than others.
After handling some company matters, Wu Hao immediately took Yang Fan to the Northwest Research Base, where a very important experiment was waiting for their arrival.
In mid-October, deep in the northwest desert, the temperature has begun to drop. They were still used to wearing short sleeves in Anxi, but now they have started to wear long sleeves.
Those who came to greet them were Zhou Xiangming, the vice president of Haoyu Aerospace and the deputy chief engineer of the Institute of Aerospace Technology, and Yang Xiaoyun, the deputy general manager of Haoyu Aerospace.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Yang, thank you for your hard work along the way." Yang Xiaoyun walked quickly in front of Wu Hao and the others on high heels and said enthusiastically with her hands outstretched to them.
"Haha, it's you who have done the hard work, why did we have to work so hard?" Wu Hao held Yang Xiaoyun's hand and said with a smile. Although Yang Xiaoyun dressed up very well, her wheat-colored complexion also told the story. The northwest is arid and has plenty of sunshine.
, so this also makes Yang Xiaoyun, who has not been here for too long, change from the white beauty before to a black swan.
After Wu Hao shook hands with several other people who came to greet him, he immediately asked with a smile: "Where is Yu Chengwu, why can't he be seen?"
"Mr. Yu is going to the rocket engine test center. He won't be able to get back until tomorrow." Yang Xiaoyun immediately replied.
When Wu Hao heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Let him work without worrying about me.
I'm here this time mainly to participate in the high-altitude drop experiment of our manned spacecraft's return capsule. There's nothing else to do, so he doesn't have to worry."
"Yes." Zhou Xiangming responded, then smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Mr. Wu, let me introduce to you. This is the person in charge of our manned spacecraft project, Mr. Guo Yulong."
"Hello, Mr. Guo, thank you for your hard work. Long time no see." Wu Hao held Guo Yulong's hand and said warmly.
In fact, Wu Hao personally made the decision to let Guo Yulong be the person in charge of the entire manned spacecraft project. So he was very impressed by Guo Yulong.
It's just that this project is relatively low-key, and the projects are all at the Northwest Research Base, so Wu Hao has relatively little contact with them.
Guo Yulong is forty years old this year. After graduating with a master's degree in aerospace, he joined the manned spacecraft research department of the Aerospace Industry Corporation to participate in related manned spacecraft research work. He once participated in the development of a certain type of national manned spacecraft and cargo spacecraft. Later, because of
Because of his work relationship, he chose to continue his studies and study for a doctorate.
After graduating with a doctorate, he finally chose to resign due to some reasons and joined a civilian satellite technology company as chief engineer.
Later, after the civilian satellite technology company's capital chain was broken and had to go bankrupt, he applied for Haoyu Technology on the recommendation of a friend.
At the beginning, he was mainly responsible for the design and development of spacecraft. For example, he participated in the inflatable inflatable space experimental capsule they launched in August this year. Later, after the manned space project was established, he came to the manned spacecraft
Technical research project team, serving as chief engineer and project leader.
Guo Yulong smiled and shook his head, and then reported to Wu Hao impatiently. After all, so many financial resources had been invested, and now that the big boss finally came to inspect the work, he had to perform well.
If he is not satisfied and the source of funds is cut off, then he probably wants to die. You must know that he has put all his efforts into this project. If it really stops, it may cost his life.
"Mr. Wu, our manned spacecraft development project is progressing smoothly. We have conducted several ground and scale model airdrop experiments before.
And this time, we will begin intensive physical airdrop experiments. In other words, what we drop this time will be a real manned spacecraft return capsule, which will be the same as the structure on the manned spacecraft return module we will launch next spring.
It’s the same with technology.”
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then asked: "When will the experiment start?"
Guo Yulong nodded and replied: "Starting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, an Air Force transport plane will land at the base airport early tomorrow morning, and then load the return capsule we prepared into the cabin of the transport plane.
After waiting for the experiment to begin, the transport aircraft carrying the return capsule will fly to an altitude of five thousand meters and then be dropped.
After the return capsule is thrown out of the cabin of the transport aircraft, it will immediately open the guide parachute and throw out a parachute group consisting of three main parachutes to slow down the return capsule.
Waiting for the moment when the return capsule is about to land, the recoil engine on the return capsule will ignite and continue to decelerate until the return capsule lands smoothly."
"It's the same as the real landing process," Wu Hao said with a smile.
"Yes, the whole process is to simulate the entire process of our return capsule after returning from space to prepare for the launch, return and landing of our unmanned spacecraft next spring." Guo Yulong replied.
"Yeah, not bad." Wu Hao showed a satisfied look, and then said to everyone: "Let's go, let's get in the car and talk as we walk.
Then everyone boarded the Coaster that was parked on the side, and after sitting down, Wu Hao then asked, are there any risks in the entire experimental process, and how are the relevant countermeasures prepared?"
"Any experiment has certain risks, and this kind of experiment is the same." Guo Yulong nodded and responded: "But don't worry, we have made very full preparations in this regard to control the relevant risks to a minimum.
The landing site we will use for airdrop landing tomorrow is located deep in the desert and is uninhabited. We have started to survey the entire area a few days in advance to ensure that everything is safe.
Before the experiment starts tomorrow, we will conduct an inspection of the entire landing site, and we will only start the experiment after confirming that it is safe.
I cannot guarantee that the entire experiment will be 100% successful, but the probability of success is still very high. Even if it fails, that is, the return capsule crashes, the damage caused will be limited. We are confident in this aspect.
Moreover, we have prepared a total of three such return capsules to ensure that the entire experiment can be carried out normally and that the overall project progress will not be delayed due to individual accidents."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "Now the whole world knows that we will launch our first unmanned space experimental spacecraft next spring, and I know that you are under a lot of pressure.
But now that we have blown it away, it depends on you whether we can realize it or not.
Therefore, I hope you can devote yourself to your work and fight this battle well. As for other aspects, you don't have to worry, we will do our best to satisfy you.
Of course, I am not the kind of person who is willing to let everyone take risks just to save face, or the kind of stupid risk-taker who does things knowing that they cannot do anything.
So don’t put too much pressure on everyone, just do your best. At worst, it will be postponed and rescheduled, I will tell the outside world personally.”
