Chapter 1128: Change of number
Chapter 1128 Change of Numbering
Originally, there was also a number. It's called the Luna-1 satellite probe. This is also 'plagiarized' by Zhao Zhongyao according to the numbers of some lunar probes during his lifetime.
Zhao Zhongyao originally numbered this lunar probe as the Luna 1 probe. But he now feels that it is unlikely that the Luna-1 probe will be successfully launched. After all, this is the first experimental detector. If it fails, the probe developed after that can only be called the Luna-2 probe.
If this probe were to be called the Luna-1 probe, it would make people feel that this is an official probe. If this fails, the impact will be huge. Everyone must feel that Huaguo's lunar exploration technology is not mature at all, and it does not have the ability to explore the moon at all. When the time comes, experts from all over the world will definitely laugh at Huaguo.
Zhao Zhongyao thought of this result, so he wanted to change the number of this lunar probe. Previously, it was called the Luna-1 probe. Now he wants to name the probe the Lunar Experiment Probe.
As soon as he changed it like this, it made people feel that their launch mission this time was just an experimental launch, and even if it failed, it was expected. If this is the case, then the military experts of all countries in the world will not be able to laugh at China.
After all, it is impossible to do tasks overnight, and it is definitely possible to fail. But as long as you are mentally prepared, it doesn't matter if you fail.
Zhao Zhongyao now thinks that if this probe is directly compiled into Luna 1, if it fails, many countries that are waiting to see Huaguo's jokes can finally laugh at Huaguo.
But if the number of this probe is only numbered as a lunar experiment probe, it will be different. In this case, even if this launch fails, the military experts of other countries will not be able to laugh at Huaguo. Because this was supposed to be an experimental launch. The goal is not really to launch a probe to the moon, just to get some data on the launch. to prepare for the next official launch.
After Zhao Zhongyao thought of this, he discussed it with Cheng Yu.
"Cheng Yu, do you want to change the number of our detector again. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Cheng Yu and said.
"Why, the number of our probe is Luna-1, isn't it very appropriate? Why do we need to change the number? Cheng Yu listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he still didn't understand.
Zhao Zhongyao told Cheng Yu what he was thinking. Cheng Yu listened to it and felt that there was some truth.
"Oh, it's because of this! In this case, it really needs to be changed the number of our probes. ”
As soon as Cheng Yu heard Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, he felt that the number of this detector should indeed be changed again. Otherwise, this launch will be very risky.
"Yes! If we don't change the number, then we must succeed in launching, and if we fail, we will certainly be ridiculed by some people concerned abroad. But if we change the number, it will be different. We can fail with peace of mind. Zhao Zhongyao said again.
"Okay, then let's change the number again!But what number do you want to change!" Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement and said.
"Switch to the Lunar Experiment probe. Zhao Zhongyao said.
"Well, well, if we change it like this, then even if our probe fails, it is a reasonable thing. When Cheng Yu heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, he felt that it was also very reasonable.
"But you still have to talk to the reporters about it. In this way, everyone in the world will know about it! If you don't know, we'll change the number of this detector. Then it's not interesting for us to change it. ”
Zhao Zhongyao knew that this matter still had to be known to the outside world first. What's the point if you just change the number yourself? Don't others still don't know! You must know that the number of their probe announced by Zhao Zhongyao before is 'Luna 1.'" Therefore, everyone already knows the number of the probe to be launched by Huaguo this time.
Now we have to change the number that everyone knows, and of course we have to solve this problem through the media.
Cheng Yu listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words and immediately agreed. He quickly went to the hall outside the command center and explained to some reporters that this time the number of the probe had changed.
It is said that it is going to be a probe with the previous number 'Luna One'. Now it's going to be turned into a Lunar Experiment probe.
For this one number has changed. Cheng Yu's explanation is that this detector is not an official detector, but an experimental detector. It's just for pathfinding. The detector developed later will be the official detector. It will be named the Luna-1 probe. The Luna-2 probe, and many more.
After listening to Cheng Yu's explanation, the reporters also understood that the detector launched this time was not very important, but only an experimental detector. Even if the launch fails, it doesn't matter.
When the reporters learned about this matter, they also told all the Chinese and foreigners in the world who were concerned about China's aerospace industry through their live broadcast vehicles.
After everyone learned about this matter, they felt that the probe launched by Huaguo this time was not very important. Even if it fails, it is a reasonable thing.
After Zhao Zhongyao conveyed this matter to the media, he could rest assured that he would carry out the launch of the probe this time.
To say, Zhao Zhongyao just thought that this launch might fail. Still, he wanted the launch to be successful. After all, any rocket launch mission is laborious. If the launch is successful, then everyone will feel that their efforts are worth it. But if the launch fails, everyone will feel that their efforts are meaningless.
Now that Zhao Zhongyao is in the command center, he has begun to direct the launch of this small lunar experiment probe.
This probe was still launched with the 'Feitian-3' high-thrust carrier rocket developed by Zhao Zhongyao. The first is to launch this probe into a long-range orbit around the Earth. After that, this probe began to separate from the rocket.
Once the probe is separated from the rocket, the probe begins to orbit itself in Earth orbit. After one revolution, the detector gains a significant acceleration. After that, the small rocket on this probe ignites and starts, so that this probe can be freed from the shackles of the earth and fly in the direction of the moon.
Of course, all this is calculated in advance. The timing of the launch is critical. If the launch time is missed, it will not be possible to fly to the moon even if the probe is launched into space.
Zhao Zhongyao has a relatively accurate grasp of the timing of this launch. After this probe was launched into space, the separation of the probe from the rocket was quickly completed. After that, this probe began to fly around the earth.
After completing one flight around the Earth. The ground commanders, under the command of Zhao Zhongyao, gave the probe another order to fly to the moon.
In fact, it is to let the small rocket on this probe ignite and start. Then let the probe gain a greater velocity than the first cosmic velocity (7.9 axioms/sec). In this way, this probe can get rid of the shackles of the earth and fly in the direction of the moon.
So far, everything has gone smoothly. The Lunar Experiment probe has successfully left the earth and began to fly towards the moon 380,000 kilometers away.
Zhao Zhongyao looked at the probe that was flying towards the moon, and he thought that his first lunar probe launch experiment seemed to be about to succeed! Is there no need for him to change the name of this 'Luna No. 1' probe to the 'Lunar Experiment' probe?
Because, Zhao Zhongyao feels that this probe can fly over the moon. As long as it can fly over the moon, it can become a satellite of the moon, and it will be considered a successful launch.
But he has already changed the name of this 'Luna 1' probe to the 'Lunar Experiment' probe, and if he wants to change it back, it is impossible.
"Forget it, it's impossible to change the name back now. Let's see if this one detector will succeed in the end!"
Zhao Zhongyao is now staring at the big screen, observing this 'Lunar Experiment' probe. Let's see if it can reach the moon as scheduled. Will it be captured by the gravitational pull of the moon and become a small satellite of the moon.
Now everything is going well, the probe is heading in the direction of the moon. It is expected that in another two hours, it will be able to fly over the moon.
Cheng Yu was by Zhao Zhongyao's side. He also saw the 'Lunar Experiment' probe, and now it is flying very smoothly. It is entirely possible to fly directly over the moon. Then for a small satellite of the Moon. In that case, then their launch mission would be considered a success.
Cheng Yu also felt that there was no need for Zhao Zhongyao to change the number of this detector before. Because, as long as this probe is successfully launched, it doesn't matter if it is called 'Luna 1'.
If that is the case, then Huaguo will once again surprise the world and let many countries in the world feel Huaguo's outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace.
In this case, it is very likely that the probe we launched will successfully fly over the moon and become a small satellite of the moon. ”
Now the probe is still flying in space. It will take nearly two hours. Now this probe flies smoothly and there is nothing going on. The scientific researchers in the ground command center can also relax.
Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao at this time and said such a sentence. He also felt that Zhao Zhongyao was a little too careful before. Isn't this launch mission about to be successful? Why do we have to carefully change the number of this 'Luna-1' probe to the 'Lunar Experiment' probe?
Zhao Zhongyao listened to Cheng Yu's words, smiled and said, "Old Cheng, I also feel that the probe we launched this time is very likely to succeed in one attempt." But it's too early to rejoice. It will take two more hours for the probe to fly over the moon. It's hard to say what kind of situation will happen when the time comes!"
Although Zhao Zhongyao also has some confidence in his heart. However, thinking about it, the probe may encounter some unpredictable problems when it flies to the moon, and he still does not dare to guarantee that this probe can successfully enter orbit and become an artificial satellite of the moon after flying to the moon.
"Mr. Zhao, could it be that when the probe flies to the moon, there will be some unexpected problems? What else can be wrong with this, isn't it just to let the probe fly over the moon? Then it enters orbit over the moon. In this way, this probe will automatically become a small satellite of the moon. ”
Cheng Yu listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he felt that as long as this probe could fly to the moon, there should be no accidents.
But Zhao Zhongyao listened to Cheng Yu's words, so he smiled again and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. The reason why I changed the number of this detector. This shows that the possibility of a successful launch of this probe is not very large. Of course, it is not impossible to succeed. If everything goes well, then there is still a possibility that this probe will be successfully launched. ”
"Oh, that's right, then let's wait another two hours and see what happens!"
To say, Cheng Yu has always believed in Zhao Zhongyao's talent. After all, before this launch of the probe, Huaguo carried out many rocket launch missions, but there was not a single failure. Every time, the launch was successful.
From the beginning of the development of high-thrust launch vehicles in China, to the development of the return capsule. Send astronauts into space. And send the astronauts back from space. All these space missions have been very smooth.
Therefore, for all the scientific researchers in the ground command center, this time the mission of launching the probe can also be very smooth. After all, everyone feels that as long as Zhao Zhongyao is by his side, there is no task that is impossible to complete.
Cheng Yu is like this, he also believes in Zhao Zhongyao's ability a little too much. He feels that Zhao Zhongyao is a 'superman'. His talent is definitely beyond that of any scientist of his time.
In this world, there is no scientist whose talent can be compared to Zhao Zhongyao.
