Chapter 503 The reason has been found

According to this direction, Xu You simulated several times from beginning to end to confirm that there is nothing unreasonable.

"Although it cannot be determined that this is the ultimate cause of the accident, it is at least very likely."

If you want to determine the specific reason, you have to wait for the wreckage of the rocket to be found.

In fact, it is not particularly strange that such a situation occurs.

The space launch system used by Sam's moon landing program is a new generation.

The design of the entire new system has little in common with the launch system used when landing on the moon.

There are more or less failures in rocket launches in all countries.

Learning from failures and moving towards success is a necessary process.

After completing the analysis of the whole process, Xu You used the modeling software in the computer to simulate the whole process again.

At this time, Xu You really wanted to hold a meeting immediately to discuss this incident with the staff of the Aerospace Academy.

But it was very late today, Xu You couldn't bear to disturb everyone's rest, so he decided to study it tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Xu You went to the leader of the Aerospace Academy and explained his purpose of coming.

"Professor Xu, are you saying that you have found the reason why Sam's rocket launch failed?"

"It's not 100% sure, but it is indeed a very likely cause. If possible, I suggest that we have a meeting right away and study it together."

"Yes, of course! I'll arrange someone to organize a meeting!"

Even if Xu You didn't say anything, analyzing the reason for the failure of the Sam's rocket launch is still a job that the Aerospace Academy must do.

However, the leader never imagined that Xu You could deduce the cause of his malfunction at such a fast speed under the condition of insufficient information.

The leader even had some doubts. Even Sam might not know the specific cause of this failure.

Judging from the information obtained by the satellite, the wreckage of the faulty rocket will be difficult to find for a while.

Without finding the wreckage of the rocket, even SAM Space Agency itself will not be able to determine the specific cause of the accident.

After that, everyone received an order to hold an impromptu meeting.

Regarding this sudden meeting, everyone actually has some complaints in their hearts.

Last night, the leader just gave an order to promptly analyze the failure of Sam's rocket launch.

Too frequent meetings will disrupt everyone's work rhythm.

But in any case, the orders of the superiors must be obeyed.

After everyone came to the meeting room to gather, the leader immediately organized the meeting.

"Last night, Professor Xu made a detailed analysis of the failure of the Sam's rocket launch. Let's ask Professor Xu to explain it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the leader's words.

"Professor Xu... Has he analyzed the cause of the accident so quickly?"

"The rocket launch ended so late last night, did Professor Xu not sleep?"

"Let's see what Professor Xu said."

Xu You was not in a hurry to introduce in detail, but put the 3D modeling he made last night on the big screen.

It can be seen that Xu You's modeling is very detailed, not only restoring all the processes, but also including various detailed data of the rocket at each moment.

Even the scenes that could not be directly observed because of the sudden interruption of the live broadcast by the Sam Space Agency, Xu You also completed a high-level restoration through the influence of the satellite.

After watching the whole process of the 3D model, everyone was secretly amazed.

At this time, Xu You said:
"The direct cause of the accident was that the acceleration of the rocket after launch was insufficient, and it could not reach the predetermined speed as planned. In order to make up for the insufficient speed, the rocket increased the power of the engine after that, overloading the engine, and eventually causing the engine to stall. Secondary rocket separation failed."

When Xu You finished explaining the reason, everyone's reaction was not consistent.

Some people think that it is incredible that Xu You can complete the entire modeling work and analyze the direct cause of the accident in one night.

There are also a few people who think that after obtaining the image data from the satellite, these reasons are clearly visible and can be analyzed, which is not unusual.

At this time, an engineer said:

"Professor Xu, your model is indeed very good. It's just for this reason, even if you don't make this model, you can see it very intuitively. I wonder if you have deduced the root cause of the matter?"

The engineer didn't have any malicious intentions, but just expressed his doubts truthfully.

Such doubts are also in the hearts of some other people, but they dare not speak out casually.

Hearing the engineer's words, Xu You said calmly:
"That's right, the direct cause is not enough. The key is to find the reason why the rocket's acceleration was not enough at the beginning. Don't worry, I have thought about this problem a long time ago. Please see the next set of 3D models."

With that said, Xu You opened another 3D modeling file and played it on the big screen.

Different from the previous model, this model shows the scene inside the rocket during the rocket launch.

Some careful people have noticed that during this period, abnormal conditions occurred inside the rocket.

"The fuel in the fuel chamber is slowly leaking out?"

After finishing the modeling file, Xu You displayed the two models at the same time.

When these two videos were played at the same time, everyone was amazed that the internal and external changes of the rocket could be completely corresponding.

"Yes! This can indeed explain why the rocket's acceleration has been low after launch, and why it stalled quickly after increasing the engine power."

All of a sudden, the people who had doubts about Xu You just now dispelled all their doubts.

Seeing that everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, Xu You continued:
"Because we don't have enough information to prove this assumption, this inference is just a guess now. I think it may be that the inner wall material of the fuel chamber, in extreme cases, has a little crack, which leads to the The accident occurred. In the absence of sufficient information, I think this inference is most likely to be established."

After listening to Xu You's detailed explanation, everyone also felt that this inference was indeed very possible.

In the following time, everyone continued to discuss the accident and raised some other possibilities.

It's just that these possibilities are much lower than Xu You's speculation.
