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

the following few days.

Wang Donglai is at the Xichang Rocket Launch Base, just like other staff members.

I didn't do anything special or act eccentrically. I just did what I was supposed to do and treated myself as an ordinary staff member.

Such an attitude naturally attracted people's attention.

Naturally, Wang Donglai was respected by everyone.

After all, no one would hate such a person.

Wang Donglai also gained a lot in these few days.

After all, there are some things that cannot be learned from paper and can only be encountered in practice if you actually participate.

It's like the operating mode of a rocket launch base.

There won't be any special papers describing this kind of thing, and you won't find much relevant information on the Internet.

Only if you have actually worked in a launch base can you understand one thing or another.

As Wang Donglai expected, Galaxy Technology would definitely build a launch base of its own.

After all, Galaxy Technology has many characters in rocket launches and uses new technologies.

Naturally, a new rocket launch center needs to be built.

Just like rocket recovery, special modifications are required.

Also.

That is, Wang Donglai would rather adopt an intelligent operation mode to replace the current mode.

Although it is not yet possible to achieve complete automation and intelligence, there is no problem in replacing part of the work with intelligent operations.

Because it will take a few days for the rocket to launch.

So Wang Donglai still spent a lot of time in the preparation room.

Although Jia Nan had some opinions about Wang Donglai, he did not forbid Wang Donglai from entering the preparation room, and he did not slack off when it was time to give the explanation.

With Wang Donglai's ability, it would only take a few days.

He has fully understood the design concept and technical principles of the Long March 3B rocket.

These things are kept strictly confidential.

After Wang Donglai figured it out, he had no other ideas, let alone speak them out loud.

Through his understanding of the Long March 3 rocket and the Beidou satellite navigation system, Wang Donglai has also come up with some new ideas for the future development of Galaxy Technology's aerospace business.

It just so happened that Wa Yang Anchao and others also came this time.

So, Wang Donglai simply borrowed a conference room and held a technical discussion meeting.

The topic of discussion is Galaxy Technology's space program.

"What do you think these days?"

Wang Donglai asked directly.

"Chairman, I think we can copy the operating model of the Xichang Rocket Launch Center to build our launch center. After all, this is a mature model that can save us a lot of effort."

"We adopted a rocket recovery plan, and when we produced rockets, we also used new technology, which was not suitable for the operation mode of the Xichang Rocket Launch Center. Moreover, according to the plan, we have many launch missions throughout the year, which is simply not enough for the Xichang Rocket Launch Center to meet."

Because it was a discussion meeting, everyone expressed their opinions.

If you have any opinions, just say them directly.

Having been in contact with Wang Donglai for such a long time, they naturally knew Wang Donglai's temper and knew that doing this was what Wang Donglai wanted to see.

Be objective and realistic!

In fact, many times, some experienced people always have a feeling that the working atmosphere of Galaxy Technology is not like that of the current mainstream companies, but more like an existence with the characteristics of a red-hot era.

Everyone is passionate about their career.

Wang Donglai listened to everyone's discussion but did not rush to give his own answer.

After everyone had expressed their opinions and ideas, Wang Donglai spoke up, "Everyone should know how important this rocket launch is to us."

"The successful launch is only the first step."

"The second step is to successfully recover and successfully stay in the predetermined position in space."

"As for the third step, we may need to wait until we have successfully launched several times in succession."

"Everyone has seen the launch process. It takes several days to assemble, and then wait for launch. It takes another ten days to send the materials into space. This time is a bit long."

"So, I have an idea here, you can all refer to it together."

"The original launch frequency plan remains unchanged, and at least 20 rocket launches are still planned for the whole year."

"But let's adjust the launch plan."

"We can't wait until the first rocket is launched before preparing the second rocket."

"We use the Hercules rocket engine, which has strong thrust and overflow thrust, which can completely ignore the influence of other factors."

"That is to say, we can put the rocket launch base in a remote place with convenient transportation, or in a coastal area, and use sea transportation to transport rocket parts to save time. We can also relax the launch date requirements. As long as the weather is particularly bad, we can launch directly."

After Wang Dong finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.

Yang Anchao quickly spoke up and said, "Chairman, I think this can be done."

"In the past, the rocket thrust was insufficient, so every payload had to be carefully calculated. But now that we have the Hercules rocket engine, this problem has been solved."

"If we continue to follow the conventional rocket launch requirements, it will undoubtedly tie our hands and feet."

"With new rocket technology, there will inevitably be new rocket launch technology."

"Production relations always change with the development of productivity. This is the eternal truth!"

Yang Anchao is not praising Wang Donglai mindlessly.

As an expert in this field, he still has integrity.

The idea proposed by Wang Donglai sounded a bit outrageous at first glance.

But if you think about it carefully, there is really no problem at all, it is actually extremely reasonable.

Not only Yang Anchao could think of it, but others could too.

Then everyone agreed.

The discussion will end soon.

Everyone was busy with their own things.

After all, according to the ideas proposed by Wang Donglai, many plans need to be readjusted.

For example, the site selection of a launch base, the site selection of a rocket manufacturing plant, etc.

……

As the launch of the Long March 3B rocket approached, the rocket parts independently developed by Galaxy Technology were also shipped over one after another.

After all, the launch times of the two rockets were extremely close.

The former had just been launched and the second rocket was about to be assembled.

Therefore, it is natural to ship the parts in advance.

Because the name Tiangong has been officially used, Wang Donglai named Galaxy Technology's space station plan "Tianting Project".

Officials should keep a low profile, be graceful and have good taste.

Abandon the Heavenly Palace and choose the Heavenly Palace instead.

Wang Donglai had no such concerns and directly named the plan.

As for the rocket that completed this plan, Wang Donglai also gave it a common name.

King Kong!

For publicity purposes, when the King Kong rocket and other materials were delivered to the Xichang Rocket Launch Center, Wang Donglai also took a photo shoot.

The first rocket independently developed by a domestic private enterprise!
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused huge discussion on the Internet.

Over the years, the government has continuously made various breakthroughs in the aerospace field.

Through news propaganda, everyone has long been intimidated by the West in the field of aerospace.

We all know that our country's aerospace technology is very good and is no longer lagging behind.

However, when this achievement is placed on a private enterprise, the situation is different.

Everyone knows that the national team possesses enormous energy and resources.

It's normal to achieve these results.

But when it comes to a private enterprise, it’s different.

"Galaxy Technology is awesome!"

"The glory of the nation, the fortune of the country, Galaxy Technology!"

"By the way, is there anyone who knows about this rocket from Galaxy Technology who can tell us more about it?"

"I have discovered that Galaxy Technology is on the hot search every other day. Sometimes it's about Academician Wang winning a big award, and sometimes it's about a technological breakthrough."

"When will Galaxy Technology go public? If I buy a share of Galaxy Technology, I think I will definitely make money!"

"The above poster is simply dreaming. Galaxy Technology has only been developed for a few years and has achieved such results. There is no need to go public. Going public would just be giving away money for nothing."

"According to insiders' speculation, Galaxy Technology's revenue for the whole year last year may be around 100 billion. Note that this figure does not include the money raised by Galaxy Technology."

People are discussing this online.

By now, Galaxy Technology’s products have already made a name for themselves.

This is true from common white appliances to evergreen fluid and contact lenses.

1 month 12 day.

Auspicious days of the zodiac.

It is also the day when the Long March 3B rocket is scheduled to be launched.

This time, the Beidou-3 satellite will be carried into space to improve the Beidou satellite navigation system.

There are two launch towers at the Xichang Rocket Launch Center.

The Long March 3 rocket for this launch was placed on Launch Tower No. 1.

Tower No. 2 was reserved for the Kongo rocket.

In order to test the recovery technology of the Kongo rocket, certain modifications were made to the No. 2 launch tower.

1 month 11 day.

That was the day before the launch.

The Long March 3 rocket was dragged out of the preparation room and placed on the launch tower for assembly.

In fact, assembly is very simple. It is just to use lifting equipment to assemble the parts bit by bit.

The principle is no different from building blocks, except that the rocket is a little more advanced.

To be honest, in this environment, it's amazing to see such a huge thing being assembled bit by bit.

Few people will remain indifferent.

The shocking feeling of large-scale creations can only be understood by experiencing it personally.

Even Wang Donglai is like this.

Seeing the Long March 3 rocket being assembled bit by bit, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to see the King Kong rocket being assembled and launched into space.

But, it’s not working yet.

Because the Kongo uses the Hercules rocket engine and uses the parallel connection method to connect eight rocket engines, it not only greatly increases the thrust, but also increases the size of the rocket.

The most obvious manifestation is that you have become much fatter.

The transmission tower is actually a deformable steel structure building.

Many people have not paid attention to this aspect.

Some rockets are fixed next to the launch tower and then ignited.

Others complete the assembly inside the launch tower, then release the rocket through a deformed launch tower and ignite it.

This is a bit troublesome for the Kongo rocket.

The reason is simple, that is, the Kongo rocket is too large and it is somewhat troublesome to assemble it according to the original method.

Therefore, only certain modifications can be carried out to complete assembly and launch.

If you want to meet these conditions, you can only choose the Xichang Rocket Launch Center.

"Crane operator, raise the boom one unit!"

"Hold still and re-weight!"

"Fuel group, how is the inspection going?"

As the chief engineer and commander-in-chief, Jia Nan is the busiest person right now.

I watched the assembly process intently, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

The walkie-talkie never left his hand, and he was always directing the staff below.

Under Jia Nan's command, the staff performed perfectly.

The rocket was assembled bit by bit in an orderly manner.

The rocket assembly has not stopped since early morning.

Because rocket assembly is different from other jobs.

Because the material of the rocket shell is specially made, it is necessary to ensure that it cannot be deformed before launch.

Therefore, rockets are usually assembled the day before and then launched directly the next day.

If the launch cannot be carried out the next day, it will need to be disassembled and retested again to avoid problems with some components that may affect the launch.

So, once you start assembling.

All the staff members became extremely busy as if they were wound up.

At the same time, we prayed that there would be no changes in the weather the next day so that the launch could be completed smoothly.

During this process, Wang Donglai was watching and learning quietly from the side.

Yang Anchao also followed Wang Donglai.

"Engineer Yang, haven't you ever thought about changing the material of the rocket shell to avoid this kind of situation?"

Wang Donglai asked Yang Anchao in a low voice.

Yang Anchao looked around and found no one. He smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice: "Chairman, we know that stainless steel can do this, but stainless steel also has several problems. First, we did not master the technology in this area at the beginning. Second, after it was decided, path dependence has already occurred. If we want to change it, it will easily cause problems."

"In this way, over time, no one will want to change it."

Yang Anchao didn’t speak clearly, but Wang Donglai understood it.

No matter how advanced the aerospace field is, it will not develop into an organization with more than 700,000 employees.

I don’t know how many of them are sitting in offices and how many are engineers, working on the front lines.

Even without specific data, Wang Donglai could make a rough guess.

The ratio between the two is probably ten to one, or even higher.

Do less, watch more, and give suggestions to those who do! (End of this chapter)
