Tech overlords start with a baby

Chapter 49 Successful launch!

In the satellite launch base, a big guy with a diameter of 3.4 meters and a height of 24.6 meters is slowly being moved vertically through a mobile platform to a launch tower not far away.

A group of scientific researchers in the control center are inspecting the rocket one by one in an orderly manner, and among this group of people, there are as many as 13 special teams who are simulating and testing the latest candy algorithm again and again.

At the very beginning, everyone called the candy algorithm a new attitude balance algorithm, but after getting the second version of the new attitude balance algorithm, the name became more and more awkward. I thought that the encapsulated algorithm was a candy, and I didn’t know what it was. Who took the lead and began to call the second version of the attitude balance algorithm the candy algorithm.

"Chen Lao, why don't the launch of the satellite be delayed, give more time for the test team to test the candy algorithm a few more times."

Chen Xihe patted the old man Zhang Xianmin on the shoulder, and said, "Old Zhang, are you still worried about my work? From the moment I got the algorithm, I organized the manpower to start the test. So far, there is no problem at all."

"Besides, there are still three days before the launch. In three days, if there is a problem with the candy algorithm, it will definitely be exposed. At that time, it is not too late to postpone the launch time. If it is not possible, you can continue to use the original attitude balance. Algorithms, do you think this is the truth, old Zhang."

Zhang Xianmin looked at the rocket that was slowly being pushed towards the launch tower on the big screen of the central control, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

In Zhang Xianmin's opinion, a rocket without a satellite should be used for a practice, and then based on the practical data, it is judged whether the candy algorithm is worth promoting. At that time, it is not too late to decide to use the candy algorithm to launch satellites.

Although the satellites launched this time are just ordinary meteorological backup satellites, even if the launch fails, the satellite crashes, or the rocket explodes shortly after the launch, the cost is still within the acceptable range.

The technology of all kinds of rockets is indeed very mature, but the failure of rocket launches every year is still common, and each time is caused by various unexpected small problems.

In general equipment, some minor problems may not be a big deal, and even if some parts are missing, it will not affect the normal operation of the equipment.

But the rocket is different. In the state of high-speed motion, small problems will be quickly magnified without limit, which will eventually lead to the failure of the launch.

At this stage, it is the same no matter which country.

As long as there is no problem with the launch of the manned spacecraft, everything else is within the acceptable range.

If satellites and other equipment are gone, they can be rebuilt, but astronauts cannot.

It is not only that the country needs to pay a huge price to train an astronaut, but more importantly, the astronaut is a living person.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Inside the launch tower, all the staff are cooperating with the command center to conduct the final inspection before the rocket is launched.

After three days of testing, there was no problem with the candy algorithm. Each test result showed that the rocket's attitude remained very stable under the adjustment of the candy algorithm.

In the control center a few kilometers away from the launch tower, Chen Xihe and Zhang Xianmin, a few gray-haired old men, sat in the last row and watched the young people quietly.

This stage requires a more agile response ability to deal with various possible emergencies.

That's one of the reasons that every time a rocket is launched, the control center is dominated by the younger generation.

"Attention all staff, start to evacuate the launch tower, the satellite will be ignited and launched in 10 minutes."

"Repeat! Attention all staff, start to evacuate the launch tower, the satellite will be ignited and launched in 10 minutes."

Hearing the broadcast, all personnel on the tower evacuated to the bus on the ground after completing the final inspection.

As the last bus started to leave, there was no one around the entire launch tower.

"1 minute launch preparation."

"Three...two...one..."

"Ignite! Launch!"

On the tall launch pad, with the commander-in-chief pressing the red launch button, all the support arms originally mounted on the milky white giant launch vehicle were retracted, and various tracking and measuring equipment on the field were turned on, high-speed cameras, tape recorders, etc. All recording equipment is activated.

For a moment, there was a continuous huge roar from the rocket launch site.

This roar, like a landslide, like a tsunami, shook the earth.

A second later, the huge rocket rose from the ground and rose slowly, with a brilliant flame sprayed from the tail, and went straight to the sky.

In the control center, although Chen Xihe didn't speak, he was wearing reading glasses and his eyes were always on the big screen.

Don't worry it's all fake!

The rocket soared in the blue sky.A few seconds later, the vertically rising rocket began to turn; after tens of seconds, the gas discharged from the rocket condensed into smoke in the air, like a white streak extending southeast in the sky, and finally in the vast sky, it gradually became a Small bright spots, pierced out of the atmosphere and disappeared from people's field of vision.

However, hundreds of sets of modern measurement and communication equipment designed and manufactured in my country, from the mainland of my country to the ocean-going survey fleet, tightly "bite" the small bright spots that people can't see with the naked eye, and accurately measure, record and report the rocket's movement at every moment. Flight speed, altitude and attitude.

Every moment, a large amount of measurement data is collected from all over the country to the measurement and control data exchange center.

The measurement and control center connects all the test units into a tense fighting group through various precision equipment and lines, collects and exchanges data between the test units in a timely manner, and continuously reports the rocket flight data to each measurement station. , guiding them to accurately track the rocket.

And the information measured by each station and the flight situation of the rocket will be transferred to the control center and command center in the launch site area in time.

The good news keeps coming!
"Good tracking!"

"Works fine!"

"Flying is normal!"

When Chen Xihe saw on the big screen, after the last rocket fell off, the heart that had been hanging all the time finally landed.

As with the simulation test results, the rocket's attitude remained fairly stable throughout the flight.

Later, when the satellite self-adjusts and enters the predetermined orbit, the attitude balance algorithm also performs very well.

"Haha, let's go, old Zhang, I'll treat you."

Mo Jingchun, who was shopping in the supermarket, didn't know about all this. After all, the country launches so many rockets every year, and not every time there is a platform for publicity and live broadcast.

Mo Jingchun pushed the shopping cart happily back and forth in the large shopping mall on the upper and lower three floors, carrying small candies in the baby carrier.

"Candy's favorite strawberry! Get a box!"

"No! Two boxes! I want to eat too!"
