the next day.

The Long March 3 rocket was officially launched.

Witnessed by CCTV and other news media, the launch was officially ignited.

However, after the successful launch of the rocket, the invited media reporters did not leave but stayed.

The camera was pointed at the Kongo rocket being assembled.

This is the first rocket independently developed by a private enterprise in China, and it will also build its own space station in space.

Although the whole country has not yet paid attention to this project, the government and the business community are paying attention to it.

Because this matter is too important.

For the officials, if this rocket can be launched successfully, the domestic space program can be greatly advanced, and some plans can become more radical.

Not only that, by analyzing the research and development process of Galaxy Technology, it can also improve official efficiency and reduce waste of manpower and resources.

As for the business community, if Galaxy Technology can succeed, they can also join in.

What capital loves most is storytelling.

There are countless stories to tell about space rockets.

For example, space agriculture, space exploration and other businesses.

When exploring the unknown universe, no one knows what the results will be.

The more this is the case, the more attractive it is.

If you ask them to invest their own money, they may not agree, but if others have already achieved results and they follow suit and imitate them, it will be very easy.

When the Long March 3 rocket was launched, Wang Donglai and his group did not go to watch.

But busy with his own things.

Because the King Kong uses new technology, many key process workers are from Galaxy Technology.

For example, stainless steel shell welding.

This is the result of the use of new metal 3D printing technology.

It may seem insignificant, but it is extremely important.

The Bald Eagle Federation has long made breakthroughs in this technology, so SPACEX can use stainless steel to manufacture its shells.

Originally, according to the domestic technological level, it would be impossible to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time.

However, with Wang Donglai's help, it becomes very simple.

Without spending much effort at all, Wang Donglai achieved a breakthrough in key core technology.

The remaining work was handed over to the researchers in the company to improve it.

Logically speaking, as the boss, Wang Donglai should be busy receiving reporters and accompanying his leaders.

However, Wang Donglai did not do so.

Instead, he personally went to the launch tower wearing a safety helmet and did the riveting work.

This is not Wang Donglai showing off.

He is really good at riveting.

His learning ability is not only reflected in textbooks, but also in practical hands-on practice.

What's more, the entire King Kong rocket was designed by him.

He knows the function of every component.

Naturally, working is extremely easy.

The riveting of rocket shells is actually not that mysterious.

It is not much different from ordinary welding. As long as you are a skilled worker, you can do it after a simple training and be more serious.

Because rockets are not weapons like fighter jets.

Ordinary rockets are disposable items. As long as they can fly into the sky and send the satellite to the designated location, it will be fine.

There is no need to consider secondary utilization, so it is only necessary to ensure that there are no problems with the first launch.

But the Kongo is different.

This is a reusable rocket.

So, in terms of design, it is different.

When Wang Donglai was working, he was followed by a group of Galaxy Technology staff.

While working, Wang Donglai also talked about his design concepts and future optimization directions.

"This is our company's first rocket. It is very important to us, so we must make sure it launches successfully."

"It is precisely because of this idea that I tend to adopt conservative solutions in some designs in order to ensure the success rate."

"However, after the success of this launch, we have initially proved to the outside world that there is no problem with our technical route. Our next rocket design cannot be the same."

"For example, explosive bolts are widely used on conventional rockets, but we can optimize them."

"There are many reasons for optimization, such as it will reduce the service life of parts, which is a waste of cost for us."

"I know the application principle of explosive bolts. As a conventional technical option, it is the most stable choice and the safest solution."

"However, the Kongo rocket has a different technical route from conventional rockets."

"So, we should have a more advanced mindset."

"The role of the explosive bolt is in the instantaneous reaction of rocket separation, so we can develop a safer and more reliable smart device to complete the replacement."

"Our artificial intelligence technology currently leads the world, and we must make full use of our technological advantages."

"In fact, many times, if we do a good job of technical integration, we can achieve many breakthroughs."

"To achieve this, the first thing is to achieve a breakthrough in thinking."

While Wang Donglai was busy with his own work, he spoke to the scientific researchers who were following him.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid no one would take it seriously. Even if they agreed on the surface, they would sneer in their hearts.

But Wang Donglai is different.

Everyone in Galaxy Technology’s R&D staff knows how powerful Wang Donglai is.

No matter how difficult the problem is, it is no longer a problem when it comes to him.

The breakthroughs in many key projects of Galaxy Technology are ultimately due to the role played by Wang Donglai.

that's it.

With the division of labor and cooperation of everyone, a 58-meter-high space rocket slowly stood up.

It's not just the Galaxy Technology team led by Wang Donglai that is working hard.

The main desk wasn't busy either.

When the Long March 3 rocket was launched, the CCTV simply arranged a few cameras for recording, just like before.

If there were no follow-up actions, I'm afraid no one would think it was wrong.

In order to film the launch of the Kongo rocket, the CCTV set up eight fixed lenses at once.

The base of the rocket, the inside of the launch tower, etc.

These places will produce high-temperature steam when the rocket is launched.

It is extremely threatening to the camera.

Generally speaking, after this one time, a shot is basically scrapped.

A lens that can capture such a scene naturally wouldn’t be cheap.

In other words, the CCTV paid a considerable price to film the launch of the Kongo rocket.

However, the fact that CCTV can do this means that it thinks it is worth it.

soon.

The Kongo rocket was completely assembled.

Even the cameras for the main station have been set up.

The assembly is not over yet.

Because the fuel has not been injected yet.

This is the key!
Before the fuel was injected, several batches were tested to ensure that there would be no problems.

After all, the King Kong is so large and filled with so much fuel that if something goes wrong, it could easily lead to other accidents.

So in this regard, one can never be too cautious.

After three hours of work, the fuel injection was completed.

The transmission tower was immediately blocked off and no one was allowed to approach.

This state must be maintained until the rocket is launched.

the next day.

In the morning, the entire launch base became lively.

Because the launch time of the Kongo rocket was set at twelve o'clock, not three o'clock in the afternoon.

Media from all sides chose their respective positions early in the morning.

As well as the leaders who came to participate in the launch, visiting areas were also arranged.

Everyone knows the importance of the Kongo rocket launch this time. It is estimated that many leaders in Beijing will keep paying attention to it.

Although no big leaders have come here to visit, in fact, the results here have always been watched closely.

Originally, the press conference that Wang Donglai had scheduled was also scheduled after the rocket launch.

If we succeed, there will be a celebration party.

If you fail, you will face inquiries from the media.

Wang Donglai was mentally prepared for this.

Time passes quickly.

During this process, people from Galaxy Technology and others who were participating in this scene for the first time were very nervous.

Because these staff members also come from the aerospace field.

However, they were at most middle-level managers before, with strong technical skills but low status and had never actually been to the launch site.

And now, we can watch the launch of the rocket we developed on site.

This is a feeling they have never experienced before.

Emotions of pride, excitement, thrill, bitterness and so on come together.

This also made them more determined to decide that they must not let Galaxy Technology down.

It is because of Galaxy Technology that they have better treatment and more opportunities to show themselves.

Here, they are respected and their life values ​​are more fully reflected.

This is a completely different working experience from that in my previous company.

command center.

At this time, a quiet and tense atmosphere had already filled the air.

The King Kong rocket was being displayed on the huge screen.

The Kongo rocket was seen standing quietly, like a silent giant.

Then I thought that it would not be long before the King Kong rocket would burn with flames and soar into the sky with infinite thrust.

Everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

You know, even insiders in the aerospace field.

There aren't many times when you actually see a rocket launch.

Last year, there were only 16 rocket launches in the country throughout the year.

This is also divided into four rocket launch bases.

On average, the Xichang Satellite Launch Center conducts three to four rocket launches a year.

This number is not too many.

Another important reason is that each time a rocket is launched, there is a dedicated commander-in-chief.

The corresponding teams also need to be replaced.

Wang Donglai had already discussed the launch of the King Kong rocket with the Space Administration.

The overall command will be undertaken by Galaxy Technology, with the Xichang base responsible for assistance.

So, this means that Wang Donglai is the commander-in-chief of this launch.

Wang Donglai didn't want to be famous or to be in the spotlight.

However, as the boss, he must take this responsibility.

He knew that there would be no accidents in this rocket launch, but others didn't know.

If he let Yang Anchao be the commander-in-chief, people would inevitably think that he was letting Yang Anchao take the blame and avoiding responsibility for the launch failure.

Instead of this, Wang Donglai might as well take down the commander-in-chief himself.

ten o'clock.

The Kongo rocket was leaving the tower.

The launch tower opens in the middle, revealing the Kongo rocket inside.

Because the rocket shell is made of stainless steel, the light it emits is not white, but the original color of the metal.

Combined with its huge size, it seems particularly oppressive.

Almost twenty minutes.

The Kongo rocket landed on the launch pad.

Next, it is time to conduct the final test before launch.

If a problem is detected, the transmission will be stopped immediately.

When the staff is conducting the test.

The people in the command room were not chatting, they were all watching nervously.

I'm afraid the only person who was relaxed was Wang Dong.

time flies.

Soon it was eleven fifty.

As time drew closer to the scheduled launch time, the atmosphere in the command room became increasingly tense.

"Ten minutes left to launch, all personnel please evacuate the scene!"

Wang Donglai held the microphone in his hand and repeated it three times.

In fact, the staff had already evacuated.

at the same time.

The media reporters also began to become alert and adjusted their cameras, either focusing on the command room or the Kongo rocket standing outside.

It is worth mentioning that this time the launch of the King Kong rocket was live broadcast on the Douyin platform owned by Galaxy Technology.

After all, this is also Galaxy Technology's business.

There were also quite a few viewers watching this live broadcast.

Even though it was such a boring scene, there were nearly 500,000 people watching it.

As the launch time gets closer, more and more viewers are entering the live broadcast room.

We had thought of this a long time ago, so we expanded the server specifically to avoid lags.

It also brings a better experience to users watching the live broadcast.

"Damn, this is too big! Let me count how many floors it is high!"

"Don't count up there, I'm telling you, this rocket is 58 meters high."

"Speaking of which, this rocket is not cool at all. Using stainless steel to make a rocket is a bit too shabby!"

"It's not like Galaxy Technology is short of money, so why can't they even afford to use better materials?"

"Wow, this rocket is so... so... so good... (blocked)"

The comments in the live broadcast room flowed by quickly like running water.

Every second, I don’t know how many people are speaking.

I can’t even keep up with it.

"Five minutes left to launch, report the situation!"

"Engine system telemetry is normal!"

"Fuel system telemetry normal!"

"Positioning system telemetry is normal!"

"Automatic disengagement and regression system telemetry is normal!"

One firm voice after another was heard, instantly adding a sense of excitement to the originally tense atmosphere.

"One minute left to launch, everyone get ready!"

As Wang Dong said this.

Everyone's face turned solemn and tense.

Twelve o'clock.

"Ready for launch, please give instructions!"

"Permission to launch!"

With this conversation, the rocket launch officially began.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The countdown ended, and a loud bang suddenly exploded. (End of this chapter)
