Military Technology

The meeting ended, and after a short break, Wu Hao and the others, led by Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming, came to the new rocket launch command and control center.

Compared with last year's temporary center, the new rocket launch command and control center is larger and has more complete facilities.

Walking into the command and control center, the inside is still busy. After seeing them walk in, the busy people stood up and applauded to welcome them.

Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hands, motioning everyone to continue working. He actually disliked this kind of formalism, but he couldn't escape the trend now. Therefore, he advocates simplifying as much as possible, so as not to delay everyone's normal work.

Especially when the rocket launch is approaching, there are a lot of things to do, so everyone must hurry up and try to complete everything before the launch, so for scientific research and technical personnel, every minute and every second is very important.

Together with Yu Chengwu and the others, they came to the command position. Standing here, they could see the whole picture of the command and control hall.

Compared to the neat and orderly state of the official space control center, this place is still the same as before, divided into multiple areas. Each region has one or several departments, which are clearly divided.

And the same is true on the three walls, installed on three huge high-definition LCD screens, which display various data information.

After looking around, Wu Hao and the others focused their attention on the whole picture of the launch vehicle that was being monitored in real time on the big front screen.

I saw two steel towers erected on the endless desert. And between the two towers, it was the "Jianmu-1" low-cost commercial launch vehicle they launched this time that was captured and surrounded by the mechanical arm on the tower.

Through the ultra-wide-angle lens, everyone can also feel the majestic figure of the rocket standing on the desert through the screen.

Facing everyone's eyes, Yu Chengwu introduced to everyone proudly: "This is the 'Jianmu-1' ultra-low-cost commercial launch vehicle developed by us.

The rocket has a total length of 28.6 meters and a diameter of 3,02 meters. The take-off mass is 164.7 tons. The total thrust is 3090 kN.

Its low-earth orbit carrying capacity can reach 2.7 tons, and the sun-synchronous orbit can reach 1.4 tons.

The rocket adopts a secondary structure, all of which use our self-developed semi-solid foaming propellant.

This material has the characteristics of high density, light weight, high capacity, high thrust and low cost.

And this semi-solid foaming propellant has passed the safety and environmental protection assessment of the aerospace technology department and the environmental protection department.

Comply with the relevant regulations formulated by our country.

The aerospace technology department is also very interested in our semi-solid foaming propellant, and proposed to cooperate with us. "

Ha ha ha ha... Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Looking at the smiling Wu Hao, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming were extremely excited and adored in their hearts. Although it is said that this semi-solid foaming propellant is the result of their research, in fact, both of them know that the formula of the relevant fuel comes from Wu Hao.

Just when they were in trouble in the research of fuel technology, an internal email from Wu Hao made the two of them feel like a treasure and excited. Also based on the contents of this email, they soon made a breakthrough in this area, and quickly developed this semi-solid foaming propellant.

Subsequent ground thrust experiments and real arrow launch experiments have achieved excellent results. This not only made them, but also made their whole team fall into excitement.

As practitioners in the industry, no one knows the value of this semi-solid foaming propellant better than them. With it, it is equivalent to having the capital that can support them in the field of aerospace technology, and it is also equivalent to having a strong trump card.

Also because of this, the admiration and admiration for Wu Hao in their hearts is even deeper. It can be said that these two are now regarded as Wu Hao's little fans.

"What level is this rocket at?" Zou Xiaodong was the one who spoke. He didn't know much about launch vehicle technology, and he couldn't help asking when he heard Yu Chengwu report the data of this rocket all at once.

Zhou Xiangming replied with a smile: "It belongs to the international advanced level.

No matter in terms of the rocket's carrying capacity, new material fuel, reliability and cost, this rocket is at the forefront of rockets of the same level in the world. "

"How does that compare with the SPX Falcon 9 rocket?" Zou Xiaodong asked casually.

Forehead……

Hearing his words, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Xiangming didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this time Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "This is not a level, ours belongs to light launch vehicles, and theirs belongs to medium-sized and heavy launch vehicles.

Ours is a one-time rocket, while the Falcon 9 is a partially recyclable and reusable launch vehicle.

Our rocket is only 28.6 meters, more than 3 meters thick, and has a take-off weight of more than 100 tons. As for the Falcon 9, it is 70 meters tall, more than twice as tall as ours. It is also much thicker than ours, and its weight has reached more than 500 tons, and its gold orbit has a carrying capacity of more than 20 tons.

So, this is basically two levels of things. Just like a boxing match, we are lightweight players, maybe only fifty-five or sixty kilograms, while they are heavyweights who weigh more than 80 kilograms and ninety kilograms.

No matter what kind of competition it is, it is impossible for these two levels of players to compete on the same stage. "

After Yu Chengwu's explanation, everyone who came with Wu Hao couldn't help but nodded to express their understanding.

As for Wu Hao, he glanced at Zou Xiaodong, and then smiled at everyone: "Everyone has a beginning, and the Falcon Rockets also achieved success after experiencing countless failures.

It depends on who we compare with. Compared with other aerospace technology companies, our research and development progress and the quality and performance of this rocket are far ahead.

And you also have to look at how many high-speed launch vehicles in the world there are. Don't talk about companies, just count the countries that independently engage in launch vehicles. I think the top leaders can count them all.

Therefore, there is a gap, but this is not the reason and excuse for us to feel inferior or inferior, but the motivation for us to work hard.

We have done a good job, there is no doubt about that. Then we will do better next.

At this stage, we must strive to successfully launch this rocket. In the future, we will also actively catch up with and surpass those leaders, not only Falcon 9, and not only SPX, but there are many others that are better than it.

Isn't it a popular saying that our journey is the sea of ​​stars. That's right, our goal is the sea of ​​stars, and this is just our first step into this industry. It is also our first step towards the sea of ​​stars.

In the future, we will not only develop heavy-duty launch vehicles with greater thrust and stronger carrying capacity, but also truly recyclable launch vehicles.

In addition, we have to study spacecraft, and land on the moon and Mars. We even have to build scientific research bases on the moon and Mars, and maybe build a real city on the moon and Mars in the future, so that we humans can really emigrate to alien planets.

After the holidays, you will have one more tourist destination, that is space, the moon, and Mars! "
