The start of science and technology
Chapter 27
In the picture, the staff of the command center are nervously staring at the instruments, waiting for the countdown.
Everyone was quiet, and Du Xingyu remained silent.
There were only ten seconds left. This time, he Jingcheng did not announce the countdown, but let Du Xingyu, the chief designer of xingkong-2 nuclear powered rocket, announce it.
"Ten!" Du Xingyu was also a little nervous. He read according to the clock, "nine, eight, seven, six..."
"Three, two, one! Start!" Du Xingyu said "start", not ignition.
With the last countdown, the electronic instruments in the nuclear power thruster started, the isolation rods in the nuclear reactor were slowly pulled out, and the nuclear reaction began to recover.
This time, there was no flame jet familiar to the audience. Unlike previous chemical energy rockets and hydrogen oxygen engines, this nuclear thermal rocket thruster uses nuclear energy to heat gas and a large amount of exhaust to obtain kinetic energy for launch.
People can only see that white gas rushes out of the tail of the rocket like a long dragon, and the nuclear powered rocket carries Chang''e 5 straight into the sky!
"Take off!"
“66666!”
"No explosion..."
"Is this a success?"
"Why doesn''t it spit fire?" in Du Xingyu''s live studio, the audience sent a dense barrage of bullets.
The staff of the command center did not relax, pushed steadily, and the mission was successfully completed only after the rocket was recovered! Any accident in any link may lead to a serious accident of nuclear leakage!
The speed of nuclear powered rocket is much faster than that of chemical energy rocket. The audience didn''t wait long. The rocket has begun to separate the first stage.
"Reduce the reaction efficiency, separate the primary arrow body and prepare for recovery."
"Azimuth adjustment completed!"
"Recycling platform is ready!"
The first stage rocket fell with a nuclear powered rocket propeller, while the second stage rocket continued to send Chang''e 5 into TLI (Earth Moon transfer orbit).
The team has had an experience in recovering rockets, but this time, everyone''s hands are full of sweat. Think about it. A small nuclear reactor fell from a height of tens of kilometers. It feels like they want to catch a nuclear bomb!
"The thruster starts again and starts to slow down!" the commander''s voice is also a little nervous.
"Deceleration completed, docking in progress!"
On the monitoring screen, the primary arrow of xingkong-2 stood steadily in the air and began to fall towards the recovery platform.
A short minute is like an hour. Sweat soaked the clothes of he Jingcheng and others until the prompt sounded: "primary recovery is complete! Nuclear powered rocket thrusters are intact! Nuclear radiation shield is intact!"
"It''s done!" he Jingcheng wiped his sweat. The recovery of the first-class arrow body is the most critical. Here, it can be said that he has succeeded 70 percent!
"Good job!" Cao Liang has been paying attention to the launch and recovery process. Hearing this sentence, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"We''ll do a comprehensive test of the nuclear powered rocket thrusters later!" Tang Junwen said. We can''t take it lightly.
"Xingkong-2 has entered TLI orbit and is about to separate from chang''e-5."
"Chang''e-5''s wingspan is open and is flying steadily along the orbit."
In space, the 8.2-ton chang''e-5 lunar probe bid farewell to xingkong-2 and went to the moon. It will go to the lunar surface to take samples and wait for the right time to return to earth!
"Starsky 2 reduces propeller power, is falling, ready to recover!"
"Secondary arrow body recovery completed!"
In the command center, he Jingcheng shouted into the microphone: "I announce that the xingkong-2 nuclear powered rocket and the chang''e-5 lunar probe have been successfully launched! Successfully recovered! This mission is completed!"
"Oh! Great!" the crowd cheered and smiled on everyone''s face!
The photographer of the TV station turned the picture in time to make the audience feel the joy of everyone at this moment. They are making history!
"Congratulations to our lunar exploration engineering team and our rocket R & D team. Their success also represents that China''s aerospace science will develop to a new height. We will arrange reporters to interview the main person in charge of this mission later..." the host of the TV station congratulated.
In Du Xingyu''s live studio, it''s not that there are too many bullets to see clearly, but that the gift special effects have blocked the whole live studio.
System Tip: the flying fish sent a rocket. Come and watch!
System Tip: Xiaoyuan QAQ sent 999 flowers. I wish you prosperity!
System prompt: Ten space shuttles were sent out in the Spring ten years later!
……
"Anchor Niubi!"
"Nuclear powered rocket, this is the first in the world!"
"When will you send someone to heaven?"
"You are the strongest anchor I have ever seen!"
Du Xingyu quickly thanked: "thank you for your support. As you can see today, the launch of nuclear powered rocket is successful, and its carrying capacity and service life are much better than chemical energy rocket. I can say that now we have the ability to send manned spacecraft into space!"
"As I said in the video before, it''s definitely not a gimmick that ordinary people can enter space in ten years!"
The audience was excited and talked about it one after another.
Fang Jiayou was also excited. He sent out a rocket and asked, "anchor, when can we have a spacecraft into space?"
Seeing this question, Du Xingyu replied, "I think the research and development of rockets has become mature, and the next focus of research and development should be spacecraft. Please wait patiently, and I will make a video when there is news in the future."
"Looking forward!"
“+1!”
“+2!”
“+10086!”
Fang Jiayou joined the space hobby group. He immediately spoke: "@ byt, see, the nuclear powered rocket has been successfully launched! And he will soon start developing spacecraft! This is the first in the world. What else do you have to say?"
The group friend byt was unconvinced and said, "there are many people in the United States who are ahead of us!"
When Fang Jiayou saw his words, he knew that the opposite side was not confident enough. He said proudly, "look, we will take the lead in an all-round way soon!"
"Happy today, send a red envelope!" he sent a big red envelope of 998 yuan in the group and wrote the red envelope password "congratulations on the successful launch of XingKong 2!"
For a time, the group with only a few speakers immediately became active, jumped out a lot of ID''s for diving for half a year, and sent a crazy message "congratulations on the successful launch of XingKong 2!"
……
"Good! Great!" Dong Jiangbo, Xingyao space technology company in Beijing, is also watching live TV. With him, there are some senior executives of the company.
When hearing the news of "successful launch", Dong Jiangbo and a group of high-level officials stood up one after another and applauded.
"The launch of xingkong-2 has been successful, and our opportunity has come!" Dong Jiangbo laughed. He knew that the doubts of the outside world about the prospect of space would be broken by the successful launch of the rocket!
"I want to send a congratulatory message to my younger martial brother immediately. It''s amazing!" Dong Jiangbo immediately edited the message.
