For a long time in the past, the diameter of our country's rockets was unified to 3.35 meters. This was not due to performance and technical considerations, but as a last resort.
Because the maximum allowable size for railway transportation in our country is only this large, rockets must be strictly limited to this size.
Later, the rocket broke through this diameter limit, also because the Nanhai Space Launch Site was built and put into use, so the rocket can be transported directly by sea, so there is no need to consider the size issue.
This is also the reason why the Nanhai Space Launch Center was established, and why the Long March 5 and subsequent models, as well as Wu Hao and his team’s Jianmu 7 rocket, were launched here instead of being close.
Because it is the youngest space launch center in our country, the infrastructure is very modern. If it weren't for the several towering launch towers and vertical assembly test workshops, as well as the guards everywhere, Wu Hao and the others might regard this place as a
It's a factory or even a research institute established here.
After visiting and playing for a while, Wu Hao, Zhang Jun, Yang Fan and the others immediately separated from Lin Wei and the others and went to the command and control center building. The pre-launch working meeting there was about to begin, and Wu Hao and the others, as leaders, naturally had the right to go and listen.
When Wu Hao and the others arrived at the conference room, all the participants were already sitting at attention. Seeing their arrival, they immediately stood up and applauded. When Wu Hao and the others saw this, they greeted everyone and came to the place reserved for them.
Stand in front.
Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hands and said: "We are here to listen with our ears today. Don't be restrained. Just feel free to do whatever you want. Don't worry about us."
Haha, everyone laughed, and one of them, a skinny old man in his fifties or sixties wearing a blue T-shirt, smiled at Wu Hao and said: "Mr. Wu, we are honored to be able to visit our Nanhai Space Launch Center, Peng."
Piper is brilliant. It has been stable for a long time. Mr. Wu is not only a wizard in the business world, but also has made very remarkable achievements in the field of scientific research. And we have long heard that Haoyu Aerospace can develop so rapidly and achieve such dazzling results.
, this is inseparable from your leadership and participation.
Therefore, we also sincerely hope that you, Mr. Wu, will not be polite. Just like you said, we can speak freely and say whatever we have to say.
The purpose and essence of the joint working meeting of various systems before launch is to discover and solve problems. Only by speaking freely, daring to speak out, and daring to find faults at the meeting can the normal and smooth success of the rocket launch be guaranteed.
So Mr. Wu, please don’t be stingy, and we warmly and sincerely welcome your comments.”
After the old man finished speaking, Zhou Xiangming, who was wearing a black customized short-sleeved project mission, immediately smiled at him and introduced: "Mr. Wu, this is the deputy general manager of our Nanhai Space Launch Center, and he is also the leader of our launch mission.
Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Chen Jinghong [Chief Engineer].”
Hello Mr. Chen, I have admired your name for a long time and wish I could meet you soon. Wu Hao smiled and reached out to hold Chen Jinghong’s hand and said warmly.
Haha, I have admired you, Mr. Wu, for a long time. Today I finally met the legendary leader in the industry. You are indeed young and promising. Chen Jinghong praised you.
Haha, you're flattered. Wu Hao smiled and then asked everyone to sit down: "Sit down, let's all chat under the table, you can take any order."
Under Wu Hao's greeting, everyone sat down one after another. After a few pleasantries, they started to get down to business. As for Zhou Xiangming, he also took the opportunity to introduce to them the current rocket and payload part "Wangshu" intelligent lunar moon.
The situation of the surface patrol detection vehicle.
"...
At 5:35 this afternoon, we completed the third overall test of the rocket system. All systems showed that they were operating normally, the test results were successfully concluded, and everything went smoothly. In addition to the rocket, we also conducted a test on the payload system, which is also called "Wangshu".
The "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle was tested, and the test results were normal. Therefore, we believe that the current rocket and the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle are ready and can be launched at any time."
After Zhou Xiangming finished speaking, Chen Jinghong continued: "We also conducted another test and comprehensive drill on the launch system, and everything went smoothly. We believe that the current rocket system, payload system and launch system are ready and can be launched."
There are still seventeen hours until the launch. We hope that the launch system can use this time to conduct a comprehensive simulation exercise for the entire system. In addition to the normal launch procedures, the content of this exercise will also include
Emergency response to encountering various problem symptoms.
Although we have gone through many tests and drills and everything went well, no one knows whether the rocket launch will be successful until the end. Of course we hope to succeed, but we cannot avoid possible failures, so we have to do it
So prepared to fail.
After hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Chen Jinghong did not respond directly. Instead, he communicated with the two scientific researchers sitting next to him and then nodded to Wu Hao, the others and Zhou Xiangming: "In fact, we have plans for launch failure.
preparations and drills, but considering that this launch uses a new rocket for its first flight, and the core first stage of this rocket needs to be recovered and landed. In addition, this launch mission is special and will be sent to the detector.
Moon. So we exchanged opinions with the heads of various systems and departments, and we all agreed to conduct another comprehensive simulation exercise, focusing on the ability to deal with crises."
Thank you all leaders for your understanding and righteousness. Zhou Xiangming smiled and thanked, and Wu Hao and others also smiled when they saw this.
Feeling the smiles of Wu Hao and others, Chen Jinghong smiled and teased Zhou Xiangming: "Why, don't you have confidence in the rocket you built?"
It has always been our tradition to be prepared for danger in times of peace. There is nothing wrong with being cautious. After all, we have reached this point. We cannot fail the mission because of a small mistake or insufficient work. This is unacceptable to us and may
I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Zhou Xiangming explained with a smile, and then continued: "The success rate of the new arrow's first flight has always been very low, only about 30%, so we have to be extra attentive to this mission. What's more, this mission
Very special, it will send the "Wangshu" intelligent lunar surface patrol and exploration vehicle to the moon.
This car carries the expectations of these people, and what we can do now is make preparations to protect it on its journey."
Zhou Xiangming's caution or worry is understandable. After all, as the general person in charge of the project, the pressure on him is really huge. Moreover, this time Wu Hao and the others brought their family members to the site in person, which invisibly brought about
