"Okay, stop acting in front of me." Wu Hao looked at Yu Chengwu's poor performance and couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Haha, Yu Chengwu was not embarrassed after hearing his words, but smiled and said to Wu Hao: "Pragmatism, this is also the corporate culture you have been transmitting to all of us. So these things are of little use, so everyone just
I didn’t pay much attention to it.”
"This is what I mean." Wu Hao pointed at him with his finger.
Yu Chengwu smiled sheepishly at him and continued: "Actually, there is another reason, that is, the burnt and blackened marks on the bodies of these rockets can also explain to the outside world the outstanding achievements of this rocket.
.If it were refreshed, wouldn't it mean that all these achievements would be lost? Even if we list them out, it won't be very convincing. Only such an original arrow body can convince everyone.
Look at those Falcon rockets, they are not painted."
"Haha, feelings are copied, okay, although this reason is far-fetched, it is still a reason." Wu Hao nodded slightly, and then continued to look at the big screen.
In the main screen window, the rocket has been completely exposed, with only the swing rod and cables connecting it. Unlike ordinary ice rockets, which are liquid hydrogen and oxygen rockets, the Jianmu-2 rocket uses semi-solid foam material.
It is completely a normal-temperature rocket, so there is no white smoke coming out of the rocket body.
Moreover, the Jianmu-2 rocket using this semi-solid foam fuel can be stored for a long time after the fuel is injected. In other words, it can be filled in advance like a solid rocket, and then stored, transported, and launched in an emergency.
Of course, compared to solid fuel, this semi-solid foam fuel also has some disadvantages. For example, the thrust is weaker than solid fuel, which is caused by the density of the fuel. In addition, after the filling of this semi-solid foam fuel is completed,
Transportation may not be as convenient and safe as solid fuel. Moreover, it is volatile, so improper storage may cause leakage, and there are also risks such as fire and deflagration.
In the smaller window picture next to it, there is a picture of the launch command and control hall of the Northwest Launch Center. At this moment, the launch engineering and technical personnel and the rocket and satellite technical teams have already taken their seats and are concentrating on the various flashing images on the screen.
The changing data and the atmosphere are very solid.
Although this kind of launch is commonplace for launch personnel, this launch mission is quite special. On the one hand, this is a new rocket, and it is also a new rocket that is completely different from traditional launch vehicles, so during the launch procedure, the flight parameters include
There are big differences in other aspects.
On the other hand, the rocket launched this time, except for the upper stage and the two satellites above the upper stage, the entire rocket, including the first and second stages of the rocket, and the fairing will return to the earth for landing and reuse. This is equivalent to
The entire rocket can be recycled and reused, making it a truly reusable launch vehicle.
As time passed by, the atmosphere in the command, control and management center of the Yatu Sea Landing Field became tense.
Everyone is fully focused on their work. In addition to the sound of keyboards and instruments, there are also people moving around in the hall, as well as the sound of announcements on the radio.
"Ten minutes to prepare!"
As this voice came from the radio, the entire Yatu Sea Landing Field Command, Control and Management Center hall became commotion and then became quiet again.
Wu Hao looked at the countdown numbers on the big screen and couldn't help but feel nervous. No matter how many times he visited the launch site or watched the launch process, he couldn't help but get nervous every time the countdown came.
Because everyone knows that rocket launch is a high-risk industry, and the success rate is always only 50%, that is, the probability of success and failure each accounts for 50%. No one can guarantee that a launch will be foolproof. It’s just that
As the number of launches of this type of rocket increases, related technologies become more mature, and various equipment systems of the rocket body become more and more stable, so the launch success rate of the rocket will gradually increase and reach a considerable height.
The first launch success rate of new models of rockets is even lower, less than 50%. This is mainly because the new rockets use new technologies. Whether these technologies are stable and reliable needs to be actually flown and tested.
It is never possible to simulate the entire real environment.
Therefore, even experienced space personnel are extremely serious and nervous when facing this launch mission. Because everyone knows that the difficulty and high risk of launching a new rocket are a little careless, and a data or even a decimal point may be ignored.
, which may cause the entire task to fail.
Not only the launch of new rockets, the launch team is very serious about every launch mission and does their best to ensure the success of each launch mission. Because of the high risk of space launch missions, even old rockets with a very high launch success rate and are very reliable and safe
, may cause problems on the spot or even during launch.
There are so many examples of such failures that no one dares to let down their guard. Whether it is a manned launch or an ordinary payload, it is the same. Concentrate and take it seriously.
"Five minutes to prepare!"
As the broadcast rang, everyone knew that this had reached the most critical moment. So, everyone held their breath and concentrated to welcome the final moment.
Because it is a new type of rocket, no one knows whether the launch will be successful. If the launch cannot be successful, let alone the subsequent return and landing experiment.
Wu Hao glanced at Yu Chengwu next to him and found that this guy could not help clenching his hands at this moment. His eyes were staring directly at the big screen, for fear of missing any books. Compared to him, Yu Chengwu was obviously more nervous at this moment.
Also more focused.
Wu Hao did not disturb him loudly, but continued to stare at the big screen with a smile. Although he was a little nervous, he was able to look at the mission more calmly. He was naturally happy if he succeeded, in case something bad happened in the end.
If the result is good, then he will have to come out to clean up the mess and comfort everyone. This is what he has to do as a leader, and it is also one of the major purposes of his coming to the scene this time.
"One minute to prepare."
"Thirty seconds!"
"Ten, nine, eight...three, two, one, ignite, take off!"
"Dongfeng program turns!"
As huge flames erupted from the bottom of the rocket, the entire Jianmu-2 T-type carrier rocket slowly rose into the sky. The air waves generated by the huge flames shook the images captured by the surveillance cameras installed on the towers.
And this kind of picture vibration can also make everyone in the hall of the command and control management center of the Yatuhai landing site hundreds of kilometers away feel the shock of this rocket launch immersively.
The camera zoomed out, and above the desert wall where the sky was slightly bright, a rocket was slowly rising into the sky with its tail flames, hitting the sky!
