Vol 2 Chapter 703: Our journey is the sea of stars

After the meeting, after a short break, Wu Hao, 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 the facilities are more complete.
Entering the command and control center, it is still busy. After seeing them walk in, the busy people got up and applauded.
Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hand, instructing everyone to continue working. In fact, he is quite disgusted with this formalism, but now the trend is so, he can not avoid the custom. So he advocates simplifying as much as possible and not delaying everyone's normal work.
In particular, there are many things that need to be done to approach the rocket launch, so everyone must seize the time and strive to complete everything before launch, so for scientific and technical personnel, every minute is very important.
With Yu Chengwu, they came to the command post, standing here to see the full picture of the main command and control hall.
Compared to the neat and orderly sort of the official aerospace control center, it is still divided into multiple areas as before. Each area has one or several departments, which are clearly divided.
And the same is true on three walls, installed on three huge high-definition LCD screens, which display various data information.
After looking around, Wu Hao focused their attention on the full view of the launch vehicle being monitored in real time on the large 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 that they launched this time that was captured by the mechanical arm on the tower.
Through the super wide-angle lens, everyone can also feel the magnificent posture of this rocket standing on the desert through the screen.
Facing the eyes of everyone, Yu Chengwu proudly introduced to everyone: "This is the" Jianmu-1 "ultra-low-cost commercial launch vehicle that we have developed.
The rocket has a total length of 28.6 meters and a diameter of 3,02 meters. The takeoff mass is 164.7 tons. The total thrust is 3090 kN.
Its near-Earth orbit carrying capacity can reach 2.7 tons, and the solar synchronous orbit can reach 1.4 tons.
The rocket uses a secondary structure, all of which uses our own semi-solid foam propellant fuel.
This material has the characteristics of high density, light weight, high capacity, high thrust and low cost.
And this semi-solid foam propellant fuel has passed the safety and environmental protection assessment of the aerospace technology department and the environmental protection department, which is in accordance with the relevant regulations formulated by our country.
The aerospace technology department is also very interested in our semi-solid foaming propellant fuel, and proposes to cooperate with us. "
Ha ha ha ha ... Everyone laughed at the words.
Wu Hao, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming looked at the smile and were extremely excited and admired in their hearts. Although it is said that this semi-solid foam propellant fuel 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 a dilemma about fuel technology research, an internal email from Wu Hao made them both extremely excited. It is also based on the content in this email that they soon made a breakthrough in this regard, and quickly developed this semi-solid foam fuel.
Later in the ground thrust test and real arrow launch experiment, very good results were achieved. This not only made them, but also made their entire team into excitement.
As practitioners in the industry, no one knows the value of this semi-solid foam propellant fuel better than them. With it, it is equivalent to having the capital that can support their foothold in the field of aerospace technology, and it is equivalent to possessing a strong card.
Because of this, the feeling of admiration and worship of Wu Hao in their hearts is even deeper. It can be said that these two have now been regarded as Wu Hao's little brothers.
"What level is this rocket at?" Zou Xiaodong was speaking. He didn't know much about the technology of the launch vehicle. He heard Yu Chengwu report this multiple data at once, he couldn't help questioning.
Zhou Xiangming replied with a smile: "It belongs to the international advanced level.
Regardless of the rocket's carrying capacity, or new material fuel, and reliability and cost, this rocket is at the forefront of the international rockets of the same level. "
"How does that compare to the SPX Falcon 9 rocket?" Zou Xiaodong asked casually.
amount……
Hearing his words, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Xiangming didn't know how to answer for a while, but Yu Chengwu said with a smile at this time: "This is not a level. Ours belongs to a light launch vehicle, and theirs belongs to a medium heavy launch vehicle.
Ours is a one-off rocket, while the Falcon 9 is part of a recyclable carrier rocket.
Like our rocket, it is only 28.6 meters, more than 3 meters thick, and a take-off weight of more than 100 tons. The Falcon 9 is 70 meters tall, more than double ours. It is also much thicker than ours, and its weight has reached more than 500 tons, and its carrying capacity of the gold ground track has reached more than 20 tons.
So, this is basically two levels of things. Just like boxing, we are lightweight players, maybe only 55 or 60 kilograms, and they are heavyweight players from 80 to 90 kilograms.
No matter what kind of competition, players of these two levels can't compete on the same stage. "
After Yu Chengwu explained this, the people who came with Wu Hao nodded indulgently to understand.
Wu Hao glanced at Zou Xiaodong, then smiled at everyone: "When everyone started, the Falcon Rocket also succeeded after numerous failures.
It depends on who compares it, and our research and development progress and the quality and performance of this rocket are far ahead compared to other aerospace technology companies.
And you have to watch, there are a few high launch vehicles around the world. Not to mention the company, you will count the countries that are independently engaged in the launch vehicle, I can count the top leaders.
Therefore, there are gaps, but this is not the reason and excuse for our inferiority or shame, but the motivation for our hard work.
We have done a great job, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is unquestionable. Then we will do better next.
At this stage, we must strive to successfully launch this rocket. In the future, we must actively catch up and surpass those leaders, not only Falcon 9, but also SPX, and there are many better than it.
Is n’t that a popular saying? Our journey is the sea of ​​stars. That ’s right, our goal is the sea of ​​stars, which 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 greater carrying capacity, but also develop truly recyclable launch vehicles.
In addition, we have to study spaceships, land on the moon, and land on Mars. Even, we have to establish a scientific research base on the moon and Mars. In the future, we may also establish a real city of the moon and Mars, so that we can truly move to other planets.
In the future, you will have one more tourist destination, that is, space, moon, Mars! "
