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

While discussing the matter with Yang Anchao, Wang Donglai inspected the base.

At this moment, the two finally saw the giant 'Kong' rocket that had been assembled.

At a height of over ninety meters, that's almost the height of a thirty-story building.

It stands there quietly, like a towering giant, requiring one to look up to barely see it clearly.

"This is true aesthetics!"

Looking at the enormous modern industrial creation before him, Wang Donglai praised it with a tone full of emotion.

Yang Anchao's feelings upon seeing the rocket were more complex than Wang Donglai's.

Since joining Galaxy Aerospace, Yang Anchao has experienced many things that are different from those in the aerospace system.

For example, R&D personnel, even if there is an unconventional and super-strong player like Wang Donglai.

However, the development of a single rocket does not require that many researchers.

Yang Anchao's many years of experience working in the aerospace system have given him a thorough understanding of many of the inside stories.

For example, most research institutes only do design, and outsource the production and manufacturing.

For a single technological direction, multiple research institutes may be conducting research simultaneously.

While it is said to improve R&D efficiency and speed up the development process, the negative effects outweigh the positive ones.

For example, there is overstaffing, a complex personnel structure, and an bloated scale.

Galaxy Technology's business model gave Yang Anchao new ideas and insights.

3D metal printing, stainless steel rocket shells, recycling technology...

The success of these technologies has further propelled the rapid development of Galaxy Technologies' aerospace business.

Yang Anchao had a feeling that if Galaxy Technology could maintain its current level of development in the aerospace field, the higher authorities would probably reconsider the setting of aerospace strategic goals.

As one netizen said, if even private enterprises have achieved lunar exploration and started attempting manned lunar landings, then the national team is still accumulating technology.

The cooperation between the two major aerospace groups is both inevitable and a natural progression.

Through technical exchanges, we were able to gain a deeper understanding of Galaxy Technologies' aerospace technology.

"Chairman, this is probably the largest rocket in the country. It can send nearly ten tons of objects into lunar orbit in one go."

"If this test launch is successful, and two more test launches are conducted for fine-tuning, the manned lunar landing project will be considered half completed."

One point needs to be made.

A rocket launch center needs a variety of personnel, such as experienced hoisting workers and experienced operators.

Galaxy Technology naturally has no way to cultivate these people; they can only poach them.

However, with the support of the two major aerospace groups, the company easily mobilized a group of skilled workers.

Some of those who were attracted by the high salaries offered by Galaxy Technology stayed on.

At the same time, Galaxy Technology has greatly reduced its reliance on skilled workers and experience through process optimization and machine replacement.

Streamlined, large-scale, and mature production and manufacturing is the development model that Wang Donglai approves of.

Especially in the manufacturing of such heavy industrial products.

After inspecting the rocket, Wang Donglai didn't stop, but continued to inspect other facilities.

Not much time has passed since the last inspection.

But the changes are still quite obvious.

There are significantly more measures in place to ensure employees' rest and relaxation, with temporary rest rooms, snack stations, and other amenities all readily available.

Wang Donglai wasn't worried about this mission at all.

He has complete confidence in his skills.

As for Galaxy Aerospace's production and manufacturing, there's even less to worry about.

With Wa watching over everything, some problems were prevented from arising before they even occurred.

On the day of launch, everything proceeded in strict accordance with standard operating procedures.

After the rocket is fueled, it is towed to the launch pad.

Inside the command center, because of its different nature from official settings, the decor is simpler and more futuristic.

Besides the large signboard and two rows of control panels, there is a large empty space.

There is a snack bar with all kinds of fruits, snacks and drinks, as well as a simple rest room for employees to relax.

at this time.

Li Qiandu, Boatman, and others were all there, hoping to be among the first to see the rocket take off.

This was a novel experience for them as well.

Yang Anchao originally wanted Wang Donglai to serve as the chief commander of this launch mission.

However, Wang Donglai firmly refused.

With the extensive use of artificial intelligence technology, many tasks that used to rely on human labor have now been replaced by machines.

Especially that golden touch of the aerospace system.

Wang Donglai specifically instructed Yang Anchao that such a situation must not be allowed to occur within Xinghe Aerospace.

It's ridiculous to create a job specifically for someone with a "golden touch".

When superiors have certain preferences, subordinates will surely follow suit!

Wang Donglai's attitude will naturally influence those below him.

Furthermore, the existence of Nuwa further strengthened the strict control and prevention of certain phenomena.

All these factors combined have created Galaxy Technology, a company that can be described as a miracle.

To avoid putting too much pressure on the staff of Xinghe Aerospace, Wang Donglai did not stand on the command platform, but watched from the lounge in the second row behind.

Eleven o'clock.

The live broadcast officially began, and the entire internet was paying close attention to this rocket launch.

Major media outlets deployed a large number of cameras and lenses.

The central station even invited industry experts to give explanations.

Today happens to be the weekend, and many working people who finally got a day off couldn't help but click on the rocket launch information popping up all over the internet out of curiosity.

The arrows in the live stream were mostly pointed directly at the super heavy-lift launch vehicle on the launch pad.

Just like Wang Donglai said, this is the true beauty of industrial machinery.

Even before it started, a large number of comments had already appeared.

"Holy crap, this rocket is huge!"

"It looks even bigger than the Long March series rockets. Is this a super heavy-lift launch vehicle?"

"To be honest, I was skeptical before about whether Galaxy Technology was really involved in the aerospace business, but after seeing this rocket, I think that with Galaxy Technology's technical capabilities, doing this would be no problem at all!"

"First rocket engines, then reusable rocket launches, then the space station, and now they're working on lunar exploration. I can't even imagine how outrageous it will be if they achieve a manned lunar landing by the end of the year!"

"Don't even mention you, I bet the people on the national team are probably furious right now. A civilian team has surpassed them in just a few years."

“Before there was no competition, we didn’t know what was going on, but now it’s very obvious that someone is just occupying a position without doing any work.”

"A national treasure, a national honor, and a pillar of the nation!"

"Galaxy Technology is awesome!"

"I reckon this time we'll succeed!"

"Speaking of Galaxy Technology, didn't they receive a sky-high advertising fee of 1.2 billion? Why didn't we see the advertiser's brand name?"

"The person upstairs clearly doesn't care. This is obviously Galaxy Aerospace, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galaxy Technology. They're not the same thing." "Could it be that Galaxy Technology is planning to run ads into the live stream later? After all, so many people are watching; forcing them to watch ads is really inappropriate."

"If Galaxy Technology does this, I'll blacklist them for life!"

"How could this be? I believe Galaxy Technology would never do such a thing!"

The live stream was flooded with comments, most of which expressed support.

The few questions and negative comments that appeared immediately attracted attacks, but were then overshadowed by more positive comments.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The ignition time arrived quickly.

The closer it got to the launch time, the more viewers there were in the live stream.

Even some people overseas have expressed serious concern about this.

For example, Masla, Sundar, and others.

Many people believe that the outcome of this rocket launch will have significant symbolic meaning.

If successful, it would mean that Galaxy Technology's rise is unstoppable.

If they fail, perhaps their previous measures will still be effective.

The atmosphere in the command center had become extremely tense.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"..."

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"ignition!"

At his command, the earth trembled.

A ghostly blue flame suddenly lit up at the tail of the rocket on the launch pad, and 0.8 seconds later, a sound tore through the air.

The next instant, water vapor exploded, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, which spread in all directions.

The enormous rocket shot straight into the sky, like a sharp spear piercing the heavens.

At that moment, a huge orange X-brand logo appeared on the left, blazing like the sun, while a nine-petaled chrysanthemum suddenly appeared on the right.

It was the use of laser imaging technology that advertised these two brands.

Upon seeing this, viewers watching the live stream went wild.

Even the people in the command hall were the same.

Although they knew that Galaxy Technology would advertise for them, the specific details were kept secret by Galaxy Technology for the sake of confidentiality.

Therefore, even Lei Jun (CEO of Lei Jun) did not expect it to take this form.

A look of intense joy appeared on Lei Jun's face, and he stood up abruptly, almost as if he wanted to shout it out.

When he arrived and saw the rocket, he was a little puzzled because he didn't see the Xiaomi logo on the rocket shell.

However, out of trust in Wang Donglai, he did not show it.

Seeing this scene now, Lei Jun feels that the 400 million yuan he spent was absolutely worth it.

Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! These are Thai pants, right?!

"I'm absolutely shocked! I never imagined Galaxy Technology would advertise like this!"

"To be honest, when I saw those two logos, my scalp tingled. They were just too cool!"

"Seriously, doesn't anyone else think that the plasma tail flame looks like a pie in the sky—big, round, and empty!"

"Soaring through the azure sky, revealing a dream of rice noodles and stars!"

"I've made up my mind. I'll take out a loan right away and buy Xiaomi as soon as it goes on the market!"

"You probably won't even get a turn upstairs. You're already borrowing money to speculate on stocks. You might as well give up!"

"Instead of pinning your hopes on the stock market, why not come to Tangdu City? You might just have a chance to work at Galaxy Technology!"

"It's said that Galaxy Technology is only recruiting junior college and college graduates in Tangdu City. The educational requirements aren't very strict. The only downside is that there are too many applicants!"

"I'm willing to pay 10,000 yuan to anyone who can get me into Galaxy Technology!"

"Don't even mention 10,000 yuan, I'll offer 50,000 yuan!"

"Stop arguing. I'll offer 100,000. If that's not enough, I'll offer 200,000. If that's enough, I'll take it."

"Before the rocket took off, advertising costs were a staggering 1.2 billion; now, 1.2 billion is a bargain!"

"Can someone in the know tell me what kind of technology Galaxy Technology is using? Is it virtual imaging technology?"

"An expert appeared. Judging from the performance in the live broadcast room, it's not virtual imaging, but laser projection technology. However, I can't understand how Galaxy Technology did it. I'm very curious."

"Shouldn't we all be used to the things Galaxy Technology produces? This is all standard practice!"

"Exactly! It would be news if Galaxy Technology failed, it's to be expected!"

"This is just the beginning. Don't forget that the recovery wasn't successful yet, and the Tengu probe didn't land on the moon. It's too early to be happy!"

"Anyone who sees this will be able to make it ashore this year!"

The live stream room was incredibly lively.

The leaders who watched the rocket take off all breathed a sigh of relief.

A successful launch is a successful start.

The next rocket did not disappoint.

One hundred and eighty-five seconds later, the second-stage engine ignited, and the exhaust flame changed from azure blue to the unique purple-lightning color of the plasma thruster.

Booster separation!
Fairing detachment!
Let's learn some basic aerospace knowledge.

The time required for a rocket to launch a probe to the moon is affected by a variety of factors.

For example, the speed of a rocket; the faster the speed, the shorter the time.

However, rockets cannot maintain high speeds indefinitely because they consume fuel during flight, and their speed decreases as fuel is consumed.

Generally, the trajectories are carefully designed. For example, the spacecraft in the Apollo missions would first enter Earth orbit after departing from Earth, and then gradually approach the Moon after multiple orbital corrections.

After approaching the moon, the spacecraft decelerated and adjusted its orbit to successfully enter lunar orbit. Finally, the lander separated from the main body and landed on the lunar surface.

The entire process involves multiple orbital transitions and adjustments, which increases the flight time.

Just like the Apollo spacecraft, it took more than four days from launch to landing on the moon.

After several orbital maneuvers, the Chang'e-1 probe successfully landed on the moon in twelve and a half days.

As for Europe, it took one year and two months to enter lunar orbit.

According to calculations, Galaxy Technologies' calculations indicate that the time from launch to landing will be less than three days.

This was made possible by the combined effect of multiple factors.

For example, the powerful thrust of the Hercules engine, or the application of engine tandem technology, allows for the use of supercomputing for trajectory design simulation, resulting in the simplest trajectory that requires minimal mid-course corrections.

Even the launch time was calculated to perfectly match the rocket's speed, creating a seamless, interconnected effect.

In other words, if all goes well, the Tiangou spacecraft will successfully land on the moon in 56 hours.

Once the spacecraft officially entered orbit, enthusiastic applause erupted at the launch center. (End of Chapter)
