When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student
Chapter 628 A historic moment
When flames burned at the tail of the rocket, a huge roar was heard.
this moment.
Whether it was people at the scene or those watching the rocket launch through the camera, everyone became excited.
A rocket, like a sharp sword, flies straight into the sky.
The Kongo rocket is larger and has more fuel, so when it burns, the flames are more obvious.
Even in the daytime, when the sky is bright, you can still see this spectacular scene from a long distance away.
However, unlike others who were excited.
Inside the command room, everyone still looked nervous.
Because, at this point, it is still far from being possible to say that this rocket launch was a success.
This time, the Kongo rocket's space mission was not to carry a satellite into space, but to carry a large amount of supplies to a space 500 kilometers away from the earth to build a prototype of a space station.
The distance is greater and the task is more difficult.
Just a successful ignition is naturally far from a successful launch.
At the very least, it has to successfully fly into space and follow the planned route.
"Take off successfully!"
"Record time, Beijing time 12:00:34, successful ignition and launch!"
this moment.
All the screens in the command room were filled with information about the Kongo rocket.
Data transmitted from various systems, as well as various data detected.
What happens next is simple.
It is no longer beyond human intervention.
Just a few seconds later, the vertically flying King Kong immediately changed its flight attitude.
"Telemetry indicators are normal!"
"Rocket thrust system detection is normal!
"Boosters start adjusting!"
"Band tracking information feedback is normal!"
Inside the command hall, reports rang out one after another, reporting on the flight status of the Kongo at the moment.
The launch of a rocket from a domestic rocket launch base is not as simple as it seems.
Because, to some extent, rockets and missiles are based on the same principle.
This is why rocket launches must be reported in advance.
We need to notify the relevant units, keep a close eye on the situation and remain vigilant.
This is the work process and vigilance that a major country should have.
When the rocket is launched, the initial velocity can reach 9.6KM/S.
The Kongo uses the Hercules rocket engine with greater thrust, and several of them are connected in parallel, which takes the thrust to a higher level.
This is also reflected in the initial velocity.
So, at this moment, the initial speed of King Kong reached 14.8km.
In just a blink of an eye, the King Kong had flown several thousand meters.
If it weren't for the large size of the Kongo rocket and the clear and cloudless weather today.
I'm afraid that if you look up, you may not be able to see the King Kong.
The atmosphere in the command hall was busy yet extremely quiet.
It seems like a conflict, but it is actually normal.
During this stage, news continued to come from observation stations across the country.
In addition, all telemetry system data of King Kong so far also show that they are normal.
Whether it was Jia Nan, Qi Ge, or other staff members, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After I breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of excitement emerged in my heart again.
They can be said to have witnessed history.
A rocket independently developed by a private enterprise was successfully launched.
Moreover, not only in terms of thrust, rocket size, but also the space missions carried out by rockets, they all surpass them.
Galaxy Technology is preparing to build a space station of its own in space.
Many people expressed their opposition.
Because there is no precedent for this!
However, the higher-ups agreed very readily.
The reason is also very simple.
That is, since there is no precedent, China will set it.
Galaxy Technology’s space station construction plan is not only to treat it as a space station, but also to use it as a transit station.
The planned area far exceeds the total area of all current space stations.
Many people were not optimistic about Galaxy Technology's space rocket business in the first place, and with such a radical plan, even fewer people believed that this plan would succeed.
only.
At this moment, after the Kongo was successfully launched and flew out of the atmosphere and into space in one breath.
Those who had expressed doubts before were now confused.
Of course, it's not just these people. Even those who have confidence in Galaxy Technology are not much better.
After all, the speed of galactic technology is too fast.
I have never seen two rockets launched just one day apart.
I have never seen product designs from private enterprises that are better or bolder than official ones.
You have to know that the resources and talents that the government has are simply incomparable to those of a private enterprise.
As a result, this situation occurred.
Different people have different ideas in their minds.
"Arrived at the planned orbit, first-stage rocket engine shut down!"
"Shutdown successful!"
Although the Kongo uses the Hercules rocket engine, it is still a three-stage rocket engine model.
That is to say, before entering space, it is the first-stage rocket engine and booster that provide power.
Once in space, due to the vacuum environment, there is no longer such a high demand for thrust, so it has to become a two-stage rocket engine.
The second-stage rocket engine must continue to operate until the supplies are delivered to the designated location before it can be shut down.
This is all calculated on the ground.
However, there is still some fuel left for emergency use.
As for the third-stage rocket engine, it is different from other rockets.
This is key to providing return thrust.
And when the rocket is recovered, thrust is used to offset the force of returning from space.
It seems simple to say, but it is actually extremely difficult.
One point more or one point less of thrust will lead to failure.
Either it cannot be sent to the correct orbit, or it flies too far.
And the same is true for returning.
This is true in all aspects.
To be honest, it has come to this.
In fact, many people are already very satisfied.
After all, even if Galaxy Technology has poached a lot of people from the aerospace field, compared to the aerospace system with more than 700,000 people, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
And such a small team can do this.
No one can say that it has failed.
but.
Some people feel satisfied after reading this, while others feel that it is not enough.
Those who have the latter idea are either enemies of Galaxy Technology or people who believe in Wang Donglai's technology.
For example, Yang Anchao, Minister Jia, and Lei Jun.
The former is more complicated.
In the command hall, some of the original staff members of the Xichang Launch Center also had some opinions because of the different attitude of Galaxy Technology from theirs.
But until now, they have firmly suppressed their opinions deep in their hearts and dare not express them at all.
Because everyone knows that Galaxy Technology has really taken off this time.
As soon as they built a photolithography factory, they developed the rocket model with the largest thrust currently.
I don’t know how many people have been slapped in the face by such R&D capabilities.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Start the arrow body separation!"
With Wang Donglai's order, the King Kong rocket in space immediately separated the large amount of supply packages it was carrying.
The participating forces also delivered these material packages to the designated locations.
"The third-stage rocket engine has officially started, and the return to the system has begun!"
In space, the Kongo rocket, which had become much smaller, suddenly ignited again.
A force pushed the King Kong back in the direction it came from.
This thrust is far less powerful than the thrust from the earth to space.
To be honest, it's only the strength of several thousand newtons.
but.
This is a vacuum environment.
Then we saw that the speed of the King Kong was getting faster and faster.
Like a meteor, it flies towards the earth from space.
Anyone who has studied geography knows this.
That is, the earth rotates and revolves around the sun.
One rotation on its axis is one day, and one revolution around the sun is one year.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Kongo to return to the Xichang Rocket Launch Center.
Before this, the rocket's return capsule was calculated in advance, as long as it could fall at an approximate location in the country.
This position will be constantly recalculated based on the return capsule.
In other words, only at the last moment will we know approximately where the return capsule will land.
However, Galaxy Technology’s rocket return and recovery plan is different.
This is directly back on the launch site.
This requires calculating the variables of the Earth's rotation, as well as its own thrust speed, etc.
It can be said that the amount of calculation is terribly large.
Even the slightest mistake can lead to huge deviations in the results.
However, Wang Donglai is recognized by everyone as a top mathematician.
Not many people questioned the calculation aspect.
that's it.
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for King Kong to re-enter space and return to the Xichang Launch Center.
Everyone is waiting for a miracle to happen.
"The target is returning to the atmosphere, recalculating position and adjusting power!"
The report from the King Kong's automatic return system immediately brought the atmosphere in the entire command hall to a higher level.
Some staff members who are not mentally strong enough are feeling their hearts pounding at this moment.
at this time.
The Kongo rocket appeared on the large display screen in the command room.
It was like a meteor, flying directly from space.
With a long tail of flame, it descended towards the ground.
this moment.
I don’t know how many domestic testing agencies have noticed this.
Just like the previous rocket launch was reported, the return of the Kongo rocket was also reported.
In addition, time notes were also made.
Therefore, the Kongo rocket can successfully enter domestic airspace.
Otherwise, it would have attracted a cannonball long ago.
After all, no one knows whether this is a spacecraft or a weapon sent from some corner of the world.
Even so.
The institutions that were able to detect this scene also focused all their attention on it.
I wanted to see how Galaxy Technology’s rocket return and recovery plan was going, and I also wanted to see if I could analyze anything from it.
Think so.
The Kongo rocket fell down little by little.
The original three-stage rocket also changed its thrust direction.
It no longer provides downward thrust, pushing King Kong towards the ground.
Instead, the direction of the rocket was adjusted in time through the thrust of the booster.
It became the same flying state as before.
However, it did not soar into the sky. Instead, under the influence of the thrust, it slowed down little by little and fell towards the ground.
During this process, the originally extremely rapid speed began to slow down.
Even people watching on the ground could notice this scene.
Just like that, in the eyes of everyone.
The Kongo rocket returned to the sky above the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
And landed accurately towards the launch tower.
to be frank.
At this moment, too many people were worried.
The reason is very simple.
If the Kongo rocket did not land in the correct position, it would cause extremely serious consequences.
Such a huge rocket would be incomparable even without a lot of fuel.
But the mere presence of fuel, combined with its own weight and the kinetic energy of falling from the sky, is enough to destroy a building.
But, it has come to this moment.
No one had any choice left.
All they could do was watch the Kongo rocket fall.
The huge air force blows up the dust on the ground.
Originally, due to the rocket launch, the water in the cooling pool was catalyzed into moisture and spread in the air.
At this moment, because of the kinetic energy transmitted from the air, they are compressed together again and become raindrops falling down.
"Descend 3,000 meters!"
"Descend two thousand meters!"
"Descend one thousand meters!"
The return system from King Kong is still reporting data.
At the same time, the data is being recalculated.
In sight of everyone at the scene, the Kongo rocket landed back next to the launch tower.
The clamping arm temporarily installed on the launch tower also moved in time to control the King Kong.
See this scene.
There was silence.
There was silence for more than ten seconds.
There was loud applause and cheers.
The cheers expressed both joy over Galaxy Technology's successful rocket recovery and relief at having escaped a disaster.
"Success!"
"Galaxy Technology's rocket recovery plan was successful!"
"Incredible, simply incredible!"
"How is this possible? This is simply impossible!"
"From today on, our country's space technology will open a new chapter."
"I remember that SpaceX of the Bald Eagle Federation is also working on some recycling plan, but it doesn't seem to be that powerful!"
"Galaxy technology is truly terrifying."
"I'm afraid we have witnessed history!"
this moment.
The entire command hall, not just the staff in the command hall, stood up from their seats and cheered loudly.
Whether it is out of commercial interests or from the perspective of aerospace technology development.
The successful launch of King Kong this time has a huge impact.
At this time, no one cared whether Galaxy Technology’s space station could be built successfully.
Because this is inevitable and there is no need to consider it anymore.
The technical capabilities demonstrated by Galaxy Technology this time alone proves one thing.
Although Galaxy Technology is a private enterprise, its R&D capabilities are among the best in the world.
No less than the official team.
The success of King Kong was presented to everyone through the Douyin platform and the live broadcast of CCTV.
It was like a huge stone falling into a calm lake, creating waves one after another, stirring everyone's heartstrings. (End of this chapter)
