Test Perfect
[NASA invites people of insight to explore space together].
This is a $1.6 billion commercial supply services contract.
The content is to provide website supplements to the international space.
Including but not limited to astronauts, food, instruments, etc.
When we started the space station project, it was a space race between the two superpowers.
Later, with the disintegration of the Bear Country.
This space station costing 50 billion yuan has become a burden.
Because every time we resupply materials to the space station, the shipping cost is as high as US$10,000-100,000/kg.
You read that right!
It is US$10,000-100,000/kg.
The beautiful country cannot afford such high transportation costs.
The president is even considering grounding all space shuttles.
NASA is now one of the two largest.
In desperation, we had to find ways to reduce the burden and outsource it.
Although it is an outsourcing contract, in principle all companies can apply.
But actually.
Chinese companies were completely excluded.
The beautiful country has a complete technological blockade against China in the fields of aviation and space.
They were not even allowed to participate because the technology was being attacked.
Therefore, China will definitely not be able to earn this NASA money.
Saw this news.
Musk’s eyes lit up and he instantly saw hope.
He is now at the end of his rope and is short of financial support.
The US$100 million that had been paid for out of pocket disappeared with the failure of the third rocket launch.
Now, in order to take back Tesla, Musk is competing with Su Chen to see who can succeed first
. It can be said that Musk has borrowed money from everyone he knows.
But the money is not enough.
Launching a rocket is too expensive, and the amount of US$1.6 billion is very tempting.
So he immediately took the PPT and rushed to NASA.
After some dry-mouthed speech.
The hungry NASA actually gave this contract to SpaceX.
And paid US$300 million in advance.
Musk was immediately active and devoted himself to the R&D center.
“This time we have funds, let’s speed up!”
“Try to compress four months into three months.” ”
With such efficiency, Su Chen is definitely no match.”
“He doesn’t have any rocket experience, and we have already test-fired Three times.”
All the staff immediately became confident and got into work enthusiastically.
They are not the only ones who think so.
NASA and the space agencies of other countries have the same attitude.
I saw the news that Huazhi Group is going to launch a rocket.
Their collective reactions were “ridiculous” and “disdainful”
“Today is April Fool’s Day, Su Chen’s news is definitely a prank.” ”
He also launched rockets, why doesn’t he grow wings and fly into the sky!”
“Hahaha, a Hua. Do Chinese private companies still want to enter the aviation industry?”
“After developing a few technologies, do you think you are God?”
“Only private companies from beautiful countries are qualified to be industry giants.”
“Looking at it this way, I think Musk’s SpaceX is more reliable.”
“Yes! He has hired many experts from aerospace bureaus from various countries.”
“Huazhi Company is a layman, and it is estimated that it will have to rely on the national rocket.”
…
But Su Chen’s actual situation is not like them. Think so.
As small as screws, as large as shell materials.
All are independently developed and manufactured.
Two months later, at Huazhi headquarters.
Mr. Lu leads the scientific researchers.
The assembly of the hydrogen-oxygen engine has been completed.
At the same time, the design of the rocket’s chip has also been completed.
In order to adapt to the most harsh environments in the universe, such as radiation, harsh high and low temperatures, etc.
The stability of rocket chips is very important.
It must be able to withstand high-intensity radiation and high and low temperatures.
Common chip performance is not the main goal.
After all, whether it is a rocket or a Mars rover, etc.
The work orders executed are relatively single and simple.
This is why Musk has always adopted redundantly designed civilian chips.
Save money! ! !
But Su Chen doesn’t need it.
There are no financial constraints.
Researchers can try more functions and test different materials.
“Mr. Su.”
Mr. Lu asked for instructions: “Now we need to find a place to test the engine.”
Before it is officially put into the tower for launch.
Rocket engines and thrusters need to be tested multiple times.
This will allow you to discover areas that need improvement in a timely manner.
Because any small problem will cause the final launch failure.
The design drawings and formulas produced by the system are perfect.
But after all, what is given is not a finished product.
Even the slightest deviation during manufacturing and installation.
The result may be an explosion.
Therefore, continuous testing is the best solution.
Su Chen immediately contacted Minister Yang: “Minister, our rocket engine has been built.”
“We need a special testing site for trial operation.”
On the other end of the phone.
Minister Yang was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: “How fast?”
“It took less than two months for the engine to come out.”
No wonder he was shocked.
Because Blue Star has rocket launch capabilities, only six countries.
It is all a national effort, integrating all technologies and resources into one.
Only then can a rocket be made.
It includes two stages: research and development and final production, which takes at least one year.
Kehuazhi is an emerging private enterprise.
It took just two months to complete the core engine.
Minister Yang made arrangements immediately, and the results were soon available.
This is a dedicated test room for the aerospace group.
The Long March series of rockets are all tested here.
Su Chen, Lu Lao and other six people put on professional protective clothing and goggles.
Immediately there will be special installation and debugging, pressurization and fluid addition.
Then comes static ignition.
boom!
A ball of orange flame immediately spurted out.
A blinding light accompanied by a loud sound.
It made people’s hearts tremble.
“Power parameters are normal!”
“Thermal control system is normal!”
“Afterburner is normal!”
“Structural test passed!”
“High-precision test passed!”
“Centrifugal overload test passed!”
…
looking at the data displayed on the screen .
The specialist in charge of testing was all eyes widened.
He has worked here for thirty years and has witnessed countless rocket tests.
But I have never seen a case where it was successful the first time.
There was no flameout, no nozzle failure, and no explosion.
Soon the static ignition, which was originally planned to last 12 seconds, was completed.
This is mainly to verify the rocket’s ignition timing, vibration and thrust balance.
The computer obtains information during the rocket’s flight and can make improvements.
The result now is…perfect! ! !
“Not bad!”
Su Chen took off his goggles and said, “The whole machine test will be canceled in the future.”
“After multiple verifications by the computer, it can be ignited and launched.”
Mr. Lu nodded quickly and wrote down each one.
The good news spread like wildfire.
It was quickly known by the media and the Chinese people.
Everyone is looking forward to the launch of the Regulus 1 rocket.
No. 145 Successful launch of Xuanyuan 1 rocket
And heard this report.
Musk was a little anxious: “Everyone, work harder, Su Chen is going to catch up.”
Rockets pay attention to system integration capabilities and short-term reliability.
A single indicator is meaningless.
With good integration capabilities, a bunch of parts with poor reliability can be combined into a launchable rocket.
So it was like a competition.
He also sped up the progress and rushed to make adjustments day and night.
But still not as fast as Su Chen.
News has come from China.
[The Xuanyuan 1 rocket has been prepared at the Chauncey Launch Site, and the launch time is expected to be 7 p.m.]
[Hundreds of millions of viewers gathered together just for this shocking moment]
[Excitement! Huazhi Company leads SpaceX and is the first to send a rocket into the launch tower]
Countless media and netizens.
Instantly poured into Chauncey, making this space launch center.
They couldn’t get into the venue, so they stood outside.
This exciting moment is so exciting.
On a high launcher.
Towering majestic and tall rockets.
It is as high as ten stories high.
Just park there.
It makes people feel awe and admiration.
Except for the country, such high-tech aerospace products.
No company in China dares to even dream of trying it.
The bosses who came here in admiration gathered together and sighed:
Hua Wei Renyi said: “Mr. Su’s scientific research ability is unmatched!”
Mao Baomao said: “I feel ashamed, this structure and level are too high!”
Ma Tengteng of Goose Factory said: “It’s really a world of difference. I have no words other than admiration.”
…
We are both in business, but the gap is thousands of miles away.
The difference between people is really huge.
And those who were watching were even more excited.
“The Xuanyuan 1 rocket built by Su Chen is so handsome!”
“My idol is so outstanding that no one can match it!” ”
The rocket launch site is so awesome. I have never seen such a magnificent scene in my life.” ”
That’s it. ! This is much more exciting than a football game!”
“Can it be the same? This is an impact on a higher-level universe.”
…
At the same time.
Su Chen and Mr. Lu had already entered the launch center.
The staff are busy and orderly conducting pre-launch inspections.
Reporters from Hua Guo News have been waiting here early in the morning.
Just to broadcast this grand event live.
Huaguo International Channel will also broadcast overseas.
Journalists from other TV stations and media outlets.
He also took every opportunity to find his position.
The traffic brought by this incident is at least several billion visits.
Everyone is looking forward to the exciting moment.
“Mr. Su!”
The person in charge of the launch center walked in and said: “The inspection is completed, the rocket is in good condition.”
Su Chen nodded: “Let’s get started.”
At his instruction.
The operator activated the green ignition button.
The countdown begins:
nineteen eight seven six… The Eryi
Gang followed with a huge roar.
The launcher instantly opened to both sides.
Cylindrical rocket.
A dazzling orange light emitted from its tail.
Rise up from the ground and soar into the sky.
The vigorous power generates the surrounding air flow.
It looks particularly shocking and shocking.
The scene was buzzing with excitement, and everyone’s face was filled with excitement.
“The launch was successful!!!”
“The Xuanyuan 1 rocket took off, and the ascent was perfect!” ”
It made me burst into tears, so proud and shocked!”
“Me too, Su Shen is so awesome!”
…
Su Chen also came out of the command room.
Look up at the sky with the people outside.
The rockets spraying brilliant flames flew higher and higher.
Gradually it becomes smaller and further away in sight.
Control the screen display.
2 minutes and 42 seconds after rocket launch.
The first stage rocket falls off automatically.
The second and third stages of the rocket continue to rise.
About 15 minutes after launch, the rocket successfully separated.
A satellite disguised as a meteorite successfully entered a space orbit 550 kilometers above the earth.
This is something that no one in Blue Star knows.
Su Chen purchased an observation satellite from the system.
This is the beginning of his “Skynet” plan.
As the name suggests.
Su Chen plans to build Skynet above Blue Star.
Realize that everything is under control.
Not only the surface of Blue Star, but also other planets in space.
Therefore, this core satellite with a computer must be kept secret.
And now all around him.
People’s cheers continued unabated:
“I burst into tears! The Xuanyuan 1 rocket is invincible.”
“The beautiful country’s SpaceX failed three launches, but we succeeded in the first time.”
“Su Shen is really omnipotent. , Awesome!”
“There are no words to describe my mood at the moment!”
…
The host of the news broadcast was even more excited.
He faced the camera with trembling lips: “Dear audience friends.”
“I am at the Chauncey Aeronautical Launch Center, witnessing a feat in human history.” “The
successful launch of the Xuanyuan 1 rocket marks China’s leading position in private aviation. All over the world.”
Live broadcast.
It caused a sensation in Blue Star.
Musk watched the entire Xuanyuan 1 rocket launch.
At this moment, his face was pale and his forehead was sweating.
He murmured: “How is this possible?!”
“Su Chen’s research and development speed is too fast, and the technology is so mature and stable.”
“I am not willing to lose, I am not convinced.”
Although the facts are already in front of us.
But Musk still has to fight hard.
He had engineers do a final check and then pulled the rocket to the Kennedy Launch Center.
So it was 7 hours after the Xuanyuan 1 rocket was launched.
Falcon 1 has also entered a state of readiness.
But the result was naturally a launch failure.
The rocket malfunctioned and stalled 320 seconds after launch.
Musk’s rocket launch.
I was completely overwhelmed by Su Chen’s report.
the next day.
News from all media and websites in China are all praising Huazhi.
【An epoch-making success! The Xuanyuan 1 rocket was successfully launched]
[For the first time in human history, a rocket manufactured by a private company is orbiting the earth]
[Decrypted! Xuanyuan 1 is 100 million points better than Falcon 1]
The article compared the data of the two rockets.
[Falcon 1 rocket diameter 1.7 meters] VS [Xuanyuan 1 rocket diameter 2.3 meters]
[Falcon 1 rocket height: 21.3 meters] VS [Xuanyuan 1 rocket height: 25.5 meters]
[Falcon 1 mass: 38.555 tons] VS [Xuanyuan 1 mass: 32.6 tons]
[Falcon 1 LEO carrying capacity: 670 kilograms] VS [Xuanyuan 1 LEO carrying capacity 1032 kilograms]
This is a naked defeat!
The national sentiment of the masses was instantly ignited.
pride! Proud! Feel proud! !
Media outlets in other Blue Star countries also forwarded the news.
This made the aviation authorities represented by NASA dumbfounded.
It’s incredible!
There is actually a private company that can successfully launch a rocket.
The person involved, Su Chen.
At this moment, he picked up the phone calmly.
Now is the time to reap the fruits of victory!
