When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Xichang Rocket Launch Center.

Founded in the 1970s, it is one of my country's four major space launch sites and the only one in the country that uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen cryogenic propellants to launch high-orbit satellites. It also undertakes the launch of geosynchronous orbit satellites.

At the same time, the Xichang Rocket Launch Center has strong adaptability and can launch six models of Long March series rockets and test large, medium and small satellites of different configurations.

The second advantage is its strong launch capability. It can launch spacecraft into high, medium and low Earth orbits with large and small inclinations, as well as lunar orbit and interstellar orbit spacecraft.

The third advantage is the short launch cycle, with the shortest launch interval being once every half a month, and the number of launches per year reaching as many as 20 times.

Finally, there is strong development potential, and a new launch station suitable for the new generation of rockets is being built.

Galaxy Technology’s rocket launch actually also inspected the three major rocket launch centers in the country.

Finally, the Xichang Rocket Launch Center was chosen.

Wang Donglai did not arrive in Xichang alone this time.

He was accompanied by a large number of staff and executives of Galaxy Technology.

It can be said that it is now.

The speed of Galaxy Technology's development has exceeded everyone's imagination.

Just after raising more than 100 billion yuan in financing, more institutions came with huge amounts of cash and wanted to join Galaxy Technology.

As for the reason, everyone knows it very well.

That is, the technology Wang Donglai came up with is really amazing.

The shock that the lithography factory brought to the semiconductor industry was no less than a huge storm.

Right now, the lithography factory has not officially started production, but the experimental factory has made progress.

Otherwise, the market value of giants like ASML would not have plummeted by just 30%.

If that day really comes, it would be considered good if the market value could still be one-tenth of its current value.

Not only is the efficiency of a lithography factory far superior to that of a lithography machine, but more importantly, Galaxy Technology has mastered the design of high-end advanced chips.

This is also an extremely deadly place.

Xiaomi picked up a 7nm Pengpai chip for free.

It can be said that other domestic mobile phone manufacturers are extremely envious.

In order not to be left too far behind by Xmi, after the news was announced, manufacturers immediately came to us and wanted to reach cooperation.

Develop a high-end chip for them, and the price is negotiable.

Not only does it need to be designed, but it also requires Galaxy Technology to produce it.

However, Galaxy Technology is now focusing more on other areas, so it rejected this cooperation request.

It can be said.

Since the success of the lithography experimental factory, the development of Galaxy Technology cannot be said to be on a highway. It is more accurate to say that it is on an airplane.

There is a large amount of funds lying in the company's account.

With core technology in hand, you will be a guest of honor wherever you go.

People from all over the country are extremely envious of Galaxy Technology and their attitudes are extremely friendly.

Galaxy Technology’s executives are naturally aware of this performance.

It’s not because of Galaxy Technology’s Internet products, nor is it because of Galaxy Technology’s huge market value.

But it is the core technology mastered by Galaxy Technology.

It is Wang Donglai, who has extraordinary talent in scientific research.

At this point, the executive team within Galaxy Technology has completely run out of other ideas.

There was no longer any resistance or suspicion towards the development plan proposed by Wang Donglai.

Who knows, it might actually come true!
There is another important reason for this change.

That is, as Wang Donglai gave Wa more authority, the internal management of Galaxy Technology reached a new level.

As senior executives of the group, they are naturally aware of this very clearly.

So it is not surprising that such a change in mentality has occurred.

This time, we will go to the Xichang Rocket Launch Center by plane instead of by plane as before.

Instead, you should first arrive in Shu and then take a bus.

The base is located in the mountains and the mountain roads are rugged.

on the car.

Yang Anchao was still talking with Wang Donglai.

"Chairman, I think we may need to seriously reconsider our rocket launch plan."

"This year, the number of domestic rocket launches is far more than last year, roughly around 30."

"If you add our rocket launches, that's fifty."

"The satellite launch center in Xichang is definitely not capable of undertaking this launch mission. Should we prepare in advance and also launch at the other three launch centers?"

Yang Anchao said this to Wang Donglai with a worried look on his face.

After hearing what Yang Anchao said, Wang Donglai did not respond immediately.

Instead, he asked in confusion, "Engineer Yang, didn't you believe that we could launch 20 times a year before? Why are you suddenly talking about this now?"

Yang Anchao smiled bitterly and explained, "Chairman, please stop laughing at me."

"Before, I was just looking at the world from a narrow perspective. I always said that the chairman was a genius and a rare all-rounder, but I didn't really follow through on this. I still subconsciously didn't trust him enough."

"I don't show much confidence in the plan you proposed."

"This is my fault, and I need to reflect on it."

"During this period of time, through studying with you, I realized how big the gap between you and me is."

"I have always been proud of my status as an academician, but now when I think about it, I feel ashamed of many things."

"From now on, if you say go south, I will never go north!"

Yang Anchao is already quite old, yet he is also an academician and has served as the chief engineer of aerospace projects.

The technical strength is absolutely unquestionable.

However, at this moment, in front of Wang Donglai, he looked like a rookie.

Pledge of allegiance!

If Yang Anchao's former colleagues saw this, they would probably pop their eyes out.

"Then what do you think of the feasibility of the lunar base and development plan I mentioned earlier, as well as the Nantianmen plan?"

Wang Donglai asked this question with great interest.

Yang Anchao was stunned.

He originally thought that after he said this, Wang Donglai would be excited about his statement, or would show respect for others.

No matter how I thought about it, I never expected Wang Donglai to behave like this.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Yang Anchao replied: "As for the former, I think I will definitely see it in my lifetime, but as for the latter, it is hard to say."

Wang Donglai laughed when he heard this.

"Engineer Yang, everything depends on human effort. Who can predict the future?"

Yang Anchao nodded and said nothing more.

"Engineer Yang, the problem you just mentioned is actually not difficult to solve."

"The location of domestic rocket launch centers is based on low latitudes, remote areas, meteorological conditions, etc."

"But for us, it is not necessary to follow this basis."

"Currently, the cost of a rocket is around 50 million."

"Including the launch and other costs, it's roughly around 80 million."

"If we adopt the new smart factory assembly line method to produce, we can reduce the cost by about 30 percent."

"And as the scale expands, the cost can be reduced again." "We must build a launch center."

"And building a launch center of our own is not a difficult task."

"As long as we succeed in launching and verify our technology based on the parallel connection of Hercules rocket engines, they will definitely support us in building a launch center."

"At that time, we can place the launch center in Qin Province or in the coastal areas."

"In the past, rocket thrust was insufficient, so we had to consider the launch energy issue, but we don't have to."

“Some things may seem difficult, but once you break through a certain limit, the original difficulty is no longer a difficulty.”

Yang Anchao couldn't help but nodded when he heard what Wang Donglai said.

And on the way to the base.

The group also came across a special truck that was transporting rocket parts.

Such a scene has never been seen in real life.

Even if it's on TV, it's just a glimpse and I won't care much after seeing it.

But when you see it in reality, it’s different.

The shocking feeling brought by this high-tech core technology and huge object is difficult to describe in words.

When this special truck passed by, everyone leaned over to the windows and watched attentively.

Fortunately, everyone present was invited to the rocket launch center, so they all understood the confidentiality rules and did not take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

Everyone in the car exclaimed in surprise.

Yang Anchao just glanced at the parts on the special truck and introduced them to Wang Donglai: "Chairman, this is the first stage of the Long March 3B enhanced rocket."

"On the 12th, it will be launched from the Xichang Rocket Center, carrying the third and fourth BeiDou- networking satellites."

Although Yang Anchao has left the aerospace field and started working at Galaxy Technology.

However, after so many years of hard work in the aerospace field, he still knew this inside story.

Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Our rocket will be launched from behind it."

soon.

The bus finally arrived at the launch base in the mountains.

The launch base here is also a confidential unit.

After all, a rocket launch is going to be carried out here, so it is impossible not to keep it confidential.

The arrival of Wang Donglai and his team was also based on prior communication and after each person had been screened.

Even so, once inside the base, only a small number of people have the authority to walk into the core area.

When Wang Donglai got off the car, there was already a group of people standing outside.

It was the leaders and engineers of the launch base.

"Academician Wang, welcome!"

Wu Bing, the head of the base, walked up with a smile on his face, shook Wang Donglai's hand, and spoke enthusiastically.

"Director Wu, I hope you don't mind me interrupting your work."

The fancy sedan was carried by many people, and Wang Donglai was not stingy in saying a few polite words.

"Academician Wang, you are so polite. You have won the country's highest science and technology award and have made great achievements in the field of aerospace. It is absolutely an honor for us to have you here."

"What's more, your company is also going to launch a rocket here. We are in the same industry, so we welcome Academician Wang's arrival even more."

As an administrative staff, Wu Bing has perfect interpersonal skills.

So when it comes to speaking, it sounds nice.

Just like that, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Bing took the initiative to introduce other people at the Xichang Rocket Launch Base to Wang Donglai.

The most important thing is two people.

The leader of the rocket engineering team, Zig.

Jia Nan, chief engineer of the Long March 3B carrier rocket and commander-in-chief of the rocket launch.

The rest are also the backbone of the launch base.

It can be said that Wu Bing attaches great importance to Wang Donglai.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have welcomed the team with such sincerity.

After a brief greeting and reception under the car.

Everyone was arranged to live in the dormitory.

After all, this is one of the earliest rocket launch bases in the country.

Therefore, many buildings are old and have a historical atmosphere.

It looks quite simple, but in fact, it has hosted many important people.

This was mentioned before we came here, so no one complained about the poor conditions here.

No comforts of a five star hotel etc.

After everyone had packed up.

Wu Bing invited Wang Donglai and Yang Anchao to the preparation room.

This was also the request Wang Donglai had put forward before.

We all come from a technical background and understand the importance of technology, so this requirement is not excessive.

This preparation room is actually the rocket's transit station.

This is just a rocket launch base, not a rocket production workshop.

Rockets are manufactured elsewhere and then shipped here for launch.

When it was delivered, it was not a complete rocket, but individual parts.

It will be launched only after being assembled here and filled with fuel.

At the same time, during this process, multiple tests and simple debugging are required to ensure the quality of the rocket and the success rate of the launch.

Before the rocket is successfully launched, no one can guarantee success.

Therefore, we can only rely on continuous testing and debugging to ensure success.

For each rocket launch, the staff has to conduct at least dozens of inspections.

This is true for every part, inside and out.

This process continues until one second before launch.

As long as there is the slightest sign of a problem, even if it is uncertain, the launch will be immediately suspended and further testing will be carried out.

Yang Anchao was actually not willing to put their first rocket launch after the launch of the Long March 3B carrier rocket.

That's the reason.

The reason why there is a period of time between domestic rocket launches is due to this consideration.

Workers need a break, too.

Intensive and meticulous testing is the most labor-intensive.

Simple ignition, just add fuel and press a button, anyone can do it.

Detecting problems is the real hard work behind the scenes.

It is also the secret to ensuring the success of a rocket launch.

Our country's space rocket launch success rate is so high, and a considerable part of the reason is due to the responsible inspection staff.

The problem was detected and resolved in advance, avoiding the failure of the rocket launch.

After arriving at the preparation room, Wang Donglai keenly noticed something.

That was Jia Nan, whom he met for the first time, and she seemed to have some opinions about him! (End of this chapter)
