Chapter 90 The rocket stands on the ground

The time came to January 12.

Li Xingyang once again came to Zhangquan City, Fudong Province.

And this time he didn't come here by plane with a few bodyguards and assistants, he brought a huge convoy this time.

There are as many as fifty vehicles in which the bodyguards are riding.

Hundreds of important executives and more than 300 technicians of Xingyuan Group also sat in 15 luxury buses and followed them.

The most important thing is the middle part of the convoy, which also escorted three container trucks, and transported a batch of extremely important materials to Zhangquan City.

There are nearly a hundred vehicles in all.

The convoy stretched for three or four kilometers on the expressway, attracting a lot of attention.

Depart from Suhong City Industrial Park in the morning.

All the way mighty.

It took nearly 20 hours to arrive at the rocket assembly factory of Tianlong Aerospace at 11:00 this morning.

After the convoy arrived.

Except for some group executives and bodyguards, they were arranged to eat in the factory cafeteria.

The more than 300 technicians sent by Xingyuan Group did not sit down and rest to relieve the fatigue of the journey. Instead, they asked the employees of Tianlong Aerospace to drive the crane over and lift the container on the truck. Down, and keep reminding:

"Slow down, move slowly."

"The components in the container are very delicate, and there must be no bumps."

"It's too fast, it's too fast."

"Okay, let it go down about two centimeters per second, it's fine to keep this speed."

Working until 12:00 noon, the three containers with constant temperature and humidity were hoisted onto the flatbed truck, and then slowly dragged into the final assembly plant.

even so.

The technicians of Xingyuan Group, even though they are very tired, still have no intention of going to lunch, unless they wait for the three containers to be transferred to the constant temperature warehouse and stored properly, they can go to eat with confidence, but at that time, it may It was two o'clock in the afternoon.

This conscientious, responsible, dedicated and hard-working attitude has been respected by the employees of Tianlong Aerospace. They dare not neglect and do their best to cooperate.

"Mr. Li, how did you train and train the employees of your group? This serious and responsible attitude alone is worth learning and getting close to. If the employees of Tianlong Aerospace can do the same, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams."

Fang Yujun sighed enviously. Originally, he was very satisfied with the performance of his company's employees, but now after comparing it, he suddenly felt that his employees were not active enough in their work, and the phenomenon of fishing was a bit serious. Two or three were watching in a daze, not reaching their limit.

"I haven't set any high standards to demand from them. It has always been based on their self-awareness. Of course, it may also be related to their monthly salary of more than 50,000 yuan."

Li Xingyang, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses, spread his hands.

"I really can't learn this. The average salary of our company's employees is just over 10,000. Many of them joined because they like the aerospace industry. Otherwise, this salary will not be able to retain outstanding talents at all." Fang Yujun shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Old Fang, this time I personally led the team and sent over a total of 30 tons of payload components. Are the ten 'Star Force 1' rockets in your factory ready? launch, and ensure a high success rate?"

In the rocket assembly workshop, I saw white rockets lying on the trailer stand one after another. I counted them, and the number was exactly ten, but Li Xingyang still asked uncomfortably.

"No problem. This rocket is the crystallization of the wisdom of nine aerospace companies. Every technical detail has been considered very thoroughly. The success rate of a single rocket's launch must be over 90%. There is a set of intelligent fault detection system, which will quickly find out the problem point, so that it can be improved immediately. When the reliability of the rocket reaches more than 99%, this fault detection system can be cancelled, saving dozens of kilograms of weight Keep up with the cost of millions of dollars."

Fang Yujun said swearingly.

"good!"

Li Xingyang nodded, and asked again: "How is the construction of the open-air rocket launch site? Is there a wide road that allows a 30-meter-long trailer to pass? Have the temporary launch pads been built?"

"No problem at all. The open-air launch site is just over 20 kilometers away from our factory on Fangniu Mountain. This place is close to the sea and sparsely populated. We approached the local leaders and proposed to build an open-air launch site on Fangniu Mountain. The leader said that there is no need for a penny of rent, and the road is free to help widen, but they should be allowed to build a space launch sightseeing area next to it to earn some ticket revenue. I said there would be certain dangers, but the leader said not to be afraid, the rocket launch failed It's also falling into the sea, and won't fall into the crowd." Fang Yujun said.

Li Xingyang broke into a sweat, shook his head and said: "This leader is a little bit worried. Our rocket adopts a high-density launch mode in which ten rockets are ignited at the same time. It’s not impossible in the crowd, I suggest that the tourist area should not be established, and I would rather pay a little rent for the venue.”

"I said the same thing. I didn't expect him to be more excited. He said that it would be more interesting to launch ten rockets together. It will definitely attract hundreds of thousands of tourists and bring tens of millions of income. Many places are facing financial difficulties now. , heavily in debt, trying to generate income, already to the point of starvation, I think, this tourist area will still be built, there is no way to be too poor, so we can only do this, but our rockets have remote control The self-destruct device will detonate in time at worst, and safety can still be guaranteed.”

Fang Yujun said.

"Okay, take me to the launch site in the afternoon, I want to visit it."

"No problem, Mr. Li."

...

afternoon.

Fangniu Mountain is a hilly area with a radius of two miles and an area of ​​about 3 square kilometers with a gentle slope. It used to be a place for cattle to graze, so it is called Fangniu Mountain.

But at this moment, a ten-meter-wide cement road has been built in this barren mountainous area overgrown with weeds and bushes. A rocket launch pad area of ​​50 meters by 50 meters, which is equivalent to the size of six basketball courts - is actually a square steel bracket used to fix the rocket, and can resist high temperature and strong shock waves.

Ten rocket launch pads, spaced about 300 meters apart, are evenly distributed, five on the east side and five on the west side of Fangniu Mountain, so that after the rockets are ignited and launched at the same time, under the cover of the ridge, at least half of the airflow interference can be blocked-of course , if all the rockets can be ignited and launched into the sky at the same time in an instant, the airflow interference between each other will be minimal, because the speed of the rocket's ascent is faster than the impact of the exhaust airflow, so it is required to achieve precise control, within a meter second .

Standing on a higher hillside, blowing the humid sea breeze from the east.

"Mr. Li, isn't this open-air launch site very good? After more than ten days, our rocket will launch into the sky. Standing in this best position to watch, you will definitely see a very shocking scene. Ten rockets launch into the sky at the same time. Except We are the first to do some military exercises in the world. Of course, this increases a certain degree of danger, but to complete the "Two-year Thousand Arrows Program", launching multiple missiles at the same time under the condition of a limited launch window is to improve efficiency. best way."

Fang Yujun said beside him.

"Even if we shoot ten rockets at the same time, the launch site of Fangniu Mountain is not enough." Li Xingyang shook his head.

"I know Mr. Li, in addition to the Fangniushan launch site, our Space Launch Alliance has also built a Tieshan launch site next to Da'an City, a Zhushan launch site in Qindao City, and Lianyun City and Linbo City. , and the launch sites near Zhanjiang City are all under intense construction. There are six land launch sites in total. In addition, three space launch ships have been rented for a long time, and the number will increase to ten in the future! Mr. Li, this is a total of six or seven launch sites. With ten launch stations, an average of ten launch missions are performed each year, and there are six to seven hundred launches, isn't it enough?" Fang Yujun said.

"Enough, almost enough."

Li Xingyang nodded and felt relieved.

...

for the rest of the time.

On January 13, the secondary vertical packaging of the rocket began. The modular reflective components were slowly put into the loading compartment one by one, and then the fairing was sealed to complete the packaging of the cargo.

On the 15th, the first stage of the rocket was transported to the Fangniu Mountain open-air launch site by a large trailer.

On the 17th, a 33-meter-high and three-meter-thick rocket stage was erected on each of the ten steel-frame launch pads at the launch site.

On the 20th, the second stage of the rocket wrapped in thermal insulation gold foil was transported to the launch site through a flatbed trailer, and then lifted by a large crane, the second stage module of the rocket was aligned and placed on the first stage of the rocket, using explosive bolts Fixed, the nearly 50-meter-long rocket assembly took shape! There are ten floors high, standing on the ground, quite spectacular.

On the 21st, dozens of kerosene tankers and liquid oxygen tankers rumbled into the launch site and were about to start fueling.

By this time!

Although Xingyuan Group and Tianlong Aerospace did not do publicity work with much fanfare, ten rockets were erected at the same time, and the photos were taken by space satellites. This rare scene caused panic in some countries and was uploaded to the Internet. It has aroused the curiosity and attention of the whole world, and the media platforms at home and abroad have set off a very high discussion heat.

A small orgasm is about to begin
