Chapter 1072 Flying One

Zhao Zhongyao knows that it is now a critical time to develop a high-thrust carrier rocket. I'm going to go into battle myself. A high-thrust launch vehicle has tens of thousands of parts on it. Each one must be completely assembled in place, if any part is not successfully installed, then the entire rocket will become scrap metal.

Because of this, Zhao Zhongyao is very careful. Every day, he works with young scientists to carefully assemble every part of the rocket.

In this way, after two months of hard work, this high-thrust launch vehicle was finally successfully assembled.

After Zhao Zhongyao successfully developed the high-thrust carrier rocket, he called Political Commissar Li to come and watch it. After all, it's a major good thing. How can you not celebrate.

Now this high-thrust launch vehicle stands proudly in the special workshop of the laboratory. The entire rocket is silvery-white, with some red lines on it. Not to mention the performance, but from the outside, it is also beautiful.

Zhao Zhongyao had now made a phone call to Political Commissar Li and asked him to come and see their newly developed high-thrust launch vehicle.

After receiving the call, Political Commissar Li naturally hurriedly drove to the 'Feitian Group'.

Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu also welcomed the arrival of the leaders at the gate.

"Hello Commissar Li. Zhao Zhongyao saw Political Commissar Li and some of his entourage get out of the car, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"Zhongyao, you are really amazing! It has only been a year that you have developed a high-thrust rocket. This speed is really amazing!" Political Commissar Li also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

"Hey, it's all the result of everyone's hard work, and if I were alone, I wouldn't be able to develop anything. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Political Commissar Li again and was modest.

"Haha, Zhongyao, you have always been a very modest person! Okay! This is the credit of all of you, let's go, let me see the high-thrust rocket you have developed!"

Political Commissar Li said that he wanted Zhao Zhongyao to lead the way and start walking towards the high-thrust rocket experimental workshop of the 'Feitian Group'.

As he walked, Zhao Zhongyao also talked with Political Commissar Li about some difficulties and interesting things encountered in the process of developing high-thrust rockets.

Soon, the group came to the workshop where the high-thrust rockets were placed. After arriving inside, Political Commissar Li saw at a glance the big rocket standing proudly. He felt that the rocket was about forty or fifty meters tall and more than one meter in diameter. Just looking at this head, it makes people feel very shocked.

"Sure enough, it's a high-thrust rocket, this head is really not small!"

Commissar Li looked around the rocket. He also reached out and touched the tail of the rocket. He couldn't stop feeling in his heart. I don't understand, how could Zhao Zhongyao be so talented and be able to develop such a big guy.

After Political Commissar Li looked at it from a close distance, he came to a distant place to look again. Only then did he notice that in the middle part of the rocket, there were still a few large red letters. When he looked at it, it said 'Feitian-1'.

As soon as Political Commissar Li saw this number, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement and said, "How did you think that the number of this high-thrust rocket should be named 'Feitian No. 1'." ”

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Political Commissar Li's words, then smiled again and said: "This is nothing, I just took the two words in the name of 'Feitian Group'." What we want to do is the great cause of manned flight? Is it naturally fitting that I use the word 'Feitian' to name this series of rockets?"

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, Political Commissar Li nodded with a smile: "That's right, we will now start the 'flying career' to win glory for the country." It's only fitting that you named this rocket 'Feitian-1'. ”

Zhao Zhongyao saw that Political Commissar Li understood what he meant by such a number, so he looked at him again and smiled: "Political Commissar Li, then what we should do next, I still hope you will give us guidance." ”

Political Commissar Li listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he was a little stunned. After all, he didn't know what to do with Zhao Zhongyao next. After all, he doesn't understand this 'manned spaceflight' thing at all, and everything depends on how Zhao Zhongyao does it.

But since he is a leader, he should also express his own views! You can't listen to Zhao Zhongyao about everything!

Thinking of this, Political Commissar Li looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said with a smile: "Since you have already researched the high-thrust rocket, then next, should you study the manned spacecraft?" You can't just put the astronauts in the rocket!"

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Political Commissar Li's words, and said with a smile: "Of course, you can't put astronauts directly into the rocket." But I feel that now is not the time to develop a manned spacecraft. ”

"Oh, now is not the time to develop a manned spacecraft, so what are you going to do! Now that this rocket has been developed, aren't you just waiting to develop a manned spacecraft!"

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Political Commissar Li was still very puzzled. After all, he felt that since this spacecraft had been developed, the next thing should be to develop a manned spacecraft.

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Political Commissar Li's words, then looked at him again and said, "Political Commissar Li, we don't need to rush to develop a manned spacecraft for the time being. What we need to do now should be to carry out launch experiments on this high-thrust rocket. ”

As soon as he heard this, Political Commissar Li's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "What, is your 'Feitian No. 1' just an experiment!"

"That's right, this 'Feitian-1' cannot carry the technology of manned spaceflight. This 'Feitian-1' is just a sample of our high-thrust rocket. This is like developing a new type of fighter plane, and a prototype must be developed first. Later, on the basis of this prototype, a series of new fighters were developed. ”

Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to complete this manned space program, it would be a very complicated project and it would not be so easy to do. He expects to complete this major event within three years, which is already very intense.

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, Political Commissar Li understood what Zhao Zhongyao meant by the rocket experiment. At this time, he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said: "Since this is the case, then let's do an experiment and launch it first! You're right, this time the rocket is going to carry people, and this is not to be sloppy, we must conduct several more experiments, and then send astronauts into space." ”

"Political Commissar Li, we have decided that in ten days, we will transport the rocket to China's Xixiang Satellite Launch Center for the first experimental launch. ”

Zhao Zhongyao knew that this experimental launch was very important. It must be attended by senior leaders of the country's military.

"Well, when the time comes, I will definitely go. Political Commissar Li listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he was also very happy.

"Okay, Commissar Li, if you have something to do, you can go back. We are ready to start working on delivering this high-thrust rocket to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. ”

Zhao Zhongyao knew that this high-thrust carrier rocket could only be launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. After all, there is a good natural environment there. In terms of launch time, it is easy to encounter a good 'window' for launch.

The launch time of the rocket is not just any time that can be launched. This requires a good launch 'window'. That is, at the time of the launch of the rocket, there must be a relatively good timing.

The launch window refers to a time frame within which the launch vehicle is more appropriate (i.e., the time frame within which the launch vehicle is allowed). The size of this range is also known as the width of the launch window. The width of the window is wide and narrow, the width is measured in hours, or even days, and the narrow is only a few tens of seconds, or even zero. The launch window is determined after comprehensive analysis and calculation based on the requirements of the spacecraft itself and various external constraints. Because the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth, and other stars are constantly changing, even if a spacecraft of the same type and orbit is launched, the launch window is not fixed. Knowing this, it is not surprising that spacecraft are sometimes launched in the morning, sometimes in the evening, sometimes during the day, and sometimes at night.

Political Commissar Li listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back first, and when you deliver the rocket to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, call me to inform me." I will definitely go to this rocket launch experiment. ”

In this way, after Zhao Zhongyao discussed with Political Commissar Li, he sent Political Commissar Li away.

After sending off Political Commissar Li, Zhao Zhongyao had to think about how to transport this high-thrust rocket to the Xixiang Satellite Launch Center.

The Xichan Satellite Launch Center is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the capital, and it is naturally not an easy task to transport this hundred-ton big guy at such a long distance. First of all, it's not that this thing is too heavy to transport. What's more, this thing is also very precious and very expensive. And it can't be broken yet. If it falls off the transport car halfway, not to mention that it is a dangerous thing, just this expensive high-thrust rocket will also become scrap metal.

Therefore, to accomplish this task, it can be said that it is not easier than developing this rocket!

Zhao Zhongyao also took this into account when developing this high-thrust rocket. After all, it is impossible for this rocket to be launched in the capital, and it must be a professional launch site to be transported.

But how exactly should it be transported? Zhao Zhongyao also thought of a lot of ways before. He even thought about transporting this big guy by train to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was not possible to do this. Although the carrying capacity of the train is amazing. Carrying such a big guy is not a problem either. But the key point is that the train cannot go directly to the Xizhan Satellite Launch Center. It can only be driven to the train station near the satellite launch center.

Zhao Zhongyao thought about it, and felt that he could only use a heavy-duty truck to transport this valuable big guy. The 'Feitian Group' is only a company that develops rockets and aircraft, and it is by no means a company that develops heavy vehicles.

If Zhao Zhongyao wants to transport this high-thrust rocket to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, he must first find a heavy-duty flatbed truck.

But how to find such a heavy-duty flatbed! Zhao Zhongyao thought of a heavy-duty truck manufacturing company in Beijing. This is a heavy-duty vehicle manufacturing company called 'Jingcheng Heavy Industries'.

After Zhao Zhongyao sent off Political Commissar Li, he immediately drove Cheng Yu to this large 'Beijing Heavy Industry' company.

When they arrived at the company, the two of them went directly to the office building and found the top leader of the company.

The chairman of the company is surnamed Yuan, and everyone calls him Mr. Yuan. This man was forty or fifty years old, and when he was young, he also served as a soldier and spent time in the army. Since he was in the army was driving tanks. So, he's always been interested in heavy vehicles. After he was discharged from the army, he entered this large state-owned enterprise of 'Beijing Heavy Industry'.

He went from an ordinary worker to the top leader of the company. All because of his love for heavy vehicles.

In recent years, the economic development of the capital has been very fast, and the demand for various heavy vehicles is also great. Mr. Yuan also made great efforts. Several heavy-duty vehicles were developed with huge sums of money. to meet the needs of the market.

Now Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu came to Mr. Yuan's office together.

Mr. Yuan didn't know Zhao Zhongyao, but when he saw that Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu were wearing the clothes of the army leaders, he felt very cordial. At the same time, he also knew that if he was the leader of the army, then he must have something important to do when he came to him, and he couldn't snub others.

"What is the matter with the two of you, my surname is Yuan, you just call me Old Yuan. ”

Mr. Yuan didn't wait for Zhao Zhongyao to say anything, he introduced himself first, and then hurried over to shake hands with Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at Mr. Yuan and introduced himself and Cheng Yu, and then looked at Mr. Yuan and asked, "Both of us are from the 'Feitian Group'." We need a heavy-duty vehicle now, I don't know, you don't know if you have a heavy-duty vehicle in your company. ”

As soon as Mr. Yuan heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, you are looking for the right person, our company specializes in the production of heavy vehicles, how can there be no heavy vehicles." Not only do we have, but we also have an imported super heavy vehicle. It can carry up to two hundred tons of cargo. ”

As soon as he heard Mr. Yuan say this, Zhao Zhongyao immediately became excited, he looked at Mr. Yuan and said, "Okay, can we take a look now!"

"Okay, come with me!"

After Mr. Yuan finished speaking, he walked out of the office with Zhao Zhongyao and Cheng Yu, and then went downstairs and came to a large vehicle warehouse near the office building.
