Chapter 452: Launch as You Want

"call--"

As the meeting on Chang'an Avenue ended, Academician Fu Zhong, who was in charge of the research and development of the orbital spacecraft in Dongyang, finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of hidden pride on the corners of his mouth.

Three months!
It only took them three months to complete a completely new orbital spacecraft design!
Although the design of the Buran did play a crucial role in this, and the Aerospace Research Institute also gave full support,
But three months is enough to prove the strength of their team.

Fu Zhongxue picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. He looked at the beautiful aircraft on the screen and became more and more satisfied.
The only drawback is that it is still missing an important piece of the puzzle.

Although the design of the Atlas is different from that of the old M and the main engine is not installed on the orbiter, it does not mean that it does not need thrusters.

They reserved two main thrusters and more than a dozen auxiliary thrusters on the orbiter.

The auxiliary thrusters are mainly responsible for subtle attitude adjustments in space, while the main thrusters can perform relatively large acceleration and deceleration in space.
Although most of the landing is done by gliding, if necessary, it can also use thrusters to quickly enter orbit and land.

What he lacks now are two main thruster modules.

I don't know what the progress is on Kang Chi's side...

Just when Academician Fu was thinking about whether he should call Kang Chi now and ask him to take some time to come and take a look at the design proposal, his assistant suddenly rushed in.

"What? Already tested? Are you sure you heard it right, not the engine ignition?"

"Yes, he made it very clear on the phone that the booster test launch was successful. In addition, Mr. Kang also said that they would come over in half an hour to discuss the next phase of the plan for the Sky. I want you to take a look at this document first."

"..."

Academician Fu stood there in a daze, doubting his life for a long, long time...

He wanted to say that this was just nonsense.

But they have already acted first and asked for permission later.
Not only did they complete the test launch, but they also succeeded.

Then what else is there to say?
……

After half an hour.

Seeing Academician Fu was like an eggplant hit by frost, Kang Chi scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, in order not to affect your work, I didn't inform you of this matter in advance..."

"Haha, I know. You're just afraid that an old-fashioned person like me will stop you."

Uh……

If you say so, I will just keep silent...

Seeing that Kang Chi didn't say anything, Academician Fu finally just sighed: "Although you succeeded this time, I also congratulate you from the bottom of my heart."

"But even if it happens again and I find out, I still won't agree to such a risky experiment... You dare to launch it without even doing the engine ignition test? Aren't you afraid of blowing up the launch pad?"

"We are ready for explosion at any time, and everyone has evacuated to a safe place..."

"What about the launch pad? There are only ten launch pads in Jiuquan. If one of them has an accident, other launch missions may be affected..."

"Yes, I know. So Daming Deep Space has already obtained the official approval. Next, we will invest 20 billion to build our own launch base in Wenchang. At that time, we only need to report before the launch, and then we can launch it however we want!"

Fu Zhongxue: “…”

"Forget it, you can do whatever you want, but there are some things that you know I will never agree to, so it's better not to tell me directly, just like this time."

"Well... But if that's the case, there might be a lot of regrets."

"My pleasure."

"..."

As expected, never try to change other people's minds, and the older you get, the more stubborn you become.

Otherwise, there would be no such term as stubborn. The two of them tacitly skipped this topic and started talking about the design of the orbiter.

At this time, Fu Zhongxue finally regained his confident and active state as a scientific research leader. He pointed at the design drawings and talked to Kang Chi, and Kang Chi also listened attentively the whole time.

solid!

This was Kang Chi’s first impression after listening to the entire design plan.

Fu Zhongxue's scientific research philosophy may seem too conservative and stubborn, but it must be said that he has been engaged in aerospace research for a lifetime and his foundation is quite strong.

Under his leadership, although this orbital spacecraft looks sci-fi and beautiful, even a little exaggerated, in fact every design has been strictly scientifically verified, and everything is carefully calculated based on "practicality, safety and efficiency".

It can almost be said that Fu Zhongxue has perfectly integrated the most advanced and mature technical knowledge in multiple fields such as materials, aerodynamics, physics, and space utilization.

His stubbornness and questioning are also, to some extent, a knowledge filter.

The technical knowledge that he can accept usually has a very solid theoretical and experimental basis.

Perhaps this design plan did not have any outstanding features that made Kang Chi shine, but Kang Chi could not find any fault with it.

"I think it's perfect. Let's do it this way. Next, I'll need you to complete the final puzzle based on the Tongtian No. 1 engine. I'll also start manufacturing and assembly at the same time."

"You build it yourself?"

"Well, I just like turning screws."

"..."

Seeing Academician Fu's speechless expression, Kang Chi just smiled softly, and added in his mind: "How can I earn mastery points if I don't tweak it myself, how can I play the panel, how can I determine whether this thing works or not?"

When I got home with the design drawings, it was already dark.

Two five-star chefs immediately served him a nutritious, healthy, beautiful, but not delicious meal...

"Master Wang... When can we eat something spicy? The spicy rabbit head you made last time was delicious..."

"This...how about you just bear with it for a few days, Mr. Kang? The leader specifically told us that you have a sore throat from working in the northwest, so you should eat light food this month, especially this Tremella and Snow Pear Soup, which uses the best Tremella and..."

"Wait." Kang Chi picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp. "Actually, all ears taste the same to me."

Although Kang Chi expressed his dissatisfaction with the "lack of dietary freedom" through his actions, he also knew that his leaders were doing it for his own good, so he was still relatively polite in his words.

In the beginning, they had put a lot of thought into giving him two 'five-star chefs' who were obviously from the kitchen team, and they almost asked the elders to call him personally...

After filling his stomach, Kang Chi was about to go outside for a walk to digest the food when his cell phone suddenly rang.

When he took out his cell phone and saw Ren Zhou's name, his expression suddenly became excited.

"Hello, Mr. Ren?"

"Well, there will be a water-diving ceremony tomorrow. Can you come, busy man?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Haha, that's true. You are the real boss behind the scenes. Everyone is waiting for you."

"Really? Then I'm even more excited...By the way, is it as cool as our design?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"..."
