Chapter 1077: The First Experiment Was Successful
"Well! Looks good. However, I don't know what kind of situation people will be in it. Although Zhao Zhongyao is looking at the airtightness of this recovery capsule, he has already done experiments. But this is just an experiment done without people. It's hard to say what it would be like if someone was inside.
It occurred to me that someone had to do an experiment in it. Zhao Zhongyao glanced at a few workers around him and said, "Just now, I just did an airtight experiment when there was no one. But I don't know what the situation will be when there are people! Now, a few of you, who are willing to go to this recovery capsule to be an astronaut and feel the life of an astronaut. ”
Zhao Zhongyao originally thought that after he said it, these workers would definitely rush to do this job! After all, they would definitely be curious. I'll want to get inside this recovery pod and feel it.
Because, even Zhao Zhongyao himself was a little curious and wanted to go to this recovery capsule to feel it. He wants to give this opportunity to these workers!
But what Zhao Zhongyao didn't expect was that after he said this, these workers turned out to be you look at me, and I will look at you. No one wants to do this experiment. Because these workers are very timid people. They thought that if they got into the recovery pod and were still in the pool, if something went wrong, they might not survive. In there, even if you call, no one outside can hear it.
So, none of these workers wanted to do this experiment, they looked at Zhao Zhongyao, and they all took a step back, as if they were afraid that Zhao Zhongyao would catch one of them and put him in this recovery capsule.
When Zhao Zhongyao saw this situation, he smiled helplessly and said: "Haha, it seems that you are all cowardly people! Well, since you are not willing to ask for this opportunity, then I can only 'enjoy' it myself." Come on, I'm going to do this experiment myself. ”
Zhao Zhongyao said, and he was going to get into this recovery pod. Cheng Yu watched it on the side, so he hurriedly stopped Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Mr. Zhao, how can you let you try this thing yourself!
Although Cheng Yu was also a little scared, at this time, he just felt that he should stand up. After all, Zhao Zhongyao is his leader, and he also wants to give the leader some face.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to Cheng Yu's words, looked at him and smiled and said, "Old Cheng, let me do this! You are too old to do this experiment." ”
"Mr. Zhao, but you are our leader, why did you do this experiment yourself! Or I'll do it!" Cheng Yu was still very polite, and he had to compete with Zhao Zhongyao to do this.
Zhao Zhongyao listened to Cheng Yu's words, then looked at him again and smiled: "Old Cheng, this is a good opportunity, don't give me a robbery, I am the leader, I am very 'selfish', are you more selfish than me!"
Hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Cheng Yu didn't know what to say for a while. And the few workers who were standing on the side were now blushing all at once.
"Mr. Zhao, if that's the case, then it's better for you to come! But you have to be careful. Cheng Yu looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
"yes, I see. Zhao Zhongyao said as he opened the hatch of the recovery pod, and then got in.
Cheng Yu, this glared at the workers again, and asked them to put the recovery pod with the 'real person' into the pool again.
About a minute later, Cheng Yu ordered several more workers to fish the recovery pod out of the pool. When the recovery compartment was placed, Cheng Yu hurriedly went over and opened the hatch.
Zhao Zhongyao crawled out of it. He adjusted to the outside environment a little, and then smiled happily and said, "Well, good, the airtightness of this recovery pod is very good." All data is qualified. ”
"Okay, then our experiment will be considered a success. Cheng Yu was also very happy when he heard Zhao Zhongyao's words.
"That's right, this experiment has been successful, and next, we will also conduct a high-altitude fall experiment on this recovery pod.
This is a very important experiment. After all, the recovery pod is from the sky, and it is ultimately going to return to the earth in a falling way.
During the fall of the recovery pod, a series of actions must be completed. This series of actions includes opening the main parachute first, so that the speed of the recovery module will be quickly reduced as it enters the atmosphere. If the recovery module cannot quickly open the main parachute when entering the atmosphere, it will make the recovery module faster and faster after entering the atmosphere, so that the temperature generated by the friction between the recovery module and the atmosphere will also be very high.
If that's the case, that's a problem. Not to mention whether the recovery capsule will melt the high temperature caused by friction, the high temperature of light can also be 'steamed' by conducting the inside of the recovery capsule. In serious cases, it also directly threatens the lives of astronauts.
Therefore, the main parachute on this recovery capsule is very critical, and this first action must be completed smoothly. If something goes wrong, then the actions behind it will be useless.
When the main parachute is opened, the recovery module gradually reduces its speed, and when it is 10,000 meters above the ground, the secondary parachute is opened to further reduce the speed of the recovery module, so as to ensure that the recovery module can land smoothly on the ground.
After the second parachute is opened, the descent speed of the recovery chamber must be guaranteed to be about six meters per second. Only such a low descent speed can ensure that when the recovery capsule falls to the ground, the astronauts inside will not be injured.
But even that's it, and the safety of astronauts is not completely guaranteed. In order to further ensure the safety of astronauts. There is one last action to be done in the recovery pod. That is, when the recovery capsule is one meter above the ground, the small anti-thrust rocket installed at the bottom of the recovery capsule starts to ignite. In this way, the recovery chamber can be guaranteed to descend smoothly to the ground.
But this last move, the technical difficulty is very great. Because, the action of opening the parachute in front can have a margin of error. In other words, the recovery capsule was still in space at the time, even if it was a little later under your command. By the time the recovery pod received the command, it had already descended a few dozen meters. However, this will not affect the recovery pod after receiving the command, and it will act accordingly. After all, the recovery pod was still high in space, and it was still far from the ground. The time it takes for it to fall to the ground is relatively 'long'.
However, when the recovery module is only one meter from the ground, it has to receive the order on time, and then start the anti-thrust rocket, then this time must be well controlled. If you give orders early, when you are still a few meters above the ground, you start to give orders. It may be that after the small anti-thrust rocket was launched, it just didn't play much role, and the recovery capsule landed. In that case, the recovery pod would still be very dangerous when landing.
Because the fuel that can be loaded on this small anti-thrust rocket is also very limited. It only takes a few seconds for it to work normally. If only this order had been given too early. Then this small rocket has run out of fuel, and the recovery capsule has not landed on the ground, so the thrust reverser effect of this small rocket is not great.
But if the order is given too late. At a distance of one meter, it has not yet received instructions. When it lands on the ground and then receives an order, then this thrust reverser rocket will not play any role.
On the contrary, this small rocket will not play a good role, and may also play a bad role. After all, when the recovery pod has fallen and stopped on the ground. If the small rocket under it starts again, the reverse thrust of the small rocket may overturn the recovery module! If this is the case, the astronauts who are still staying in the recovery module may be injured again.
Because of this, the small rocket with reverse thrust installed under the recovery capsule plays a very important role in the whole recovery process. This small anti-thrust rocket must be ignited on time.
However, it is also a difficult task to complete this simulated recycling process. In contrast, when the pool experiments. This time, the simulated fall experiment requires the use of fighter jets.
Zhao Zhongyao knew that in their country, there was now a fighter plane that was very suitable for this experiment. That is, the F-117 chat fighter developed by Zhao Zhongyao before. This fighter is very advanced and can fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyao called and asked a pilot to fly a new stealth fighter that he had personally designed to come to a beach next door in the north of the capital. This is also the place where Zhao Zhongyao found and landed in the future recovery capsule.
Why look for such a place. One is because the place is all deserted. It can avoid the recovery chamber in the recovery process, if there is any problem, resulting in helpless casualties of ground personnel. In such a Gobi Desert, even if something goes wrong with the recovery module, the only one injured is the astronaut.
In addition, the Gobi Desert is covered with soft sand. In this way, even if the recovery chamber is in the recovery process, there are some minor problems. When it falls to the sand, it will also get a good cushioning effect. In this way, it is natural to avoid greater impulse injuries after the astronaut falls to the ground.
At the same time, choose this place to land, even the moment the recovery pod lands on the ground. If the anti-thrust small rocket fails to ignite and does not work. The recovery pod didn't just hit the ground. With so much sand, the recovery pod can't be a real hard landing, but a real soft landing!
In addition, this Gobi Desert is only a few hundred kilometers away from the 'Feitian Group' in the capital. If you use a car, you can transport the recovery pod back to the 'Feitian Group' within a day.
It is precisely because of the above reasons. Zhao Zhongyao suggested that the higher-level leaders choose this recycling site in a Gobi desert in the north of the capital.
Of course, for Zhao Zhongyao, making such a choice was not the result of his careful consideration, but he 'copied' it. The location where the Chinese spacecraft recovery capsule was recovered that he knew before his death was just that. The Chinese spacecraft recovery capsule of Zhao Zhongyao's lifetime was recovered on the desert Gobi Desert in the north of Beijing.
Now that Zhao Zhongyao has thought about all this, he let everyone rest for a day. After all, to do the following experiment, it would also be a bit of a big deal. It's not okay to take a break.
In this way, the next day, Zhao Zhongyao ordered some workers to load this recovery pod onto a truck. After that, he led some workers and Cheng Yu to a military airport in the capital.
On this military airfield, there is a black F-117 stealth fighter, which is on standby, as if it is waiting for the call of its master at any time.
Seeing Zhao Zhongyao coming, the pilot who knew that Zhao Zhongyao was coming also hurriedly ran from the side of the fighter plane to Zhao Zhongyao.
"Mr. Zhao, hello. The plane is ready to take off, and you can order it to take off at any time. The pilot walked up to Zhao Zhongyao and gave a military salute.
The reason why this pilot has so much respect for Zhao Zhongyao is that in addition to knowing that he is the chairman of the 'Feitian Group,' he also knows that Zhao Zhongyao is a well-known military expert, and the world-class advanced fighter he is driving now was designed by Zhao Zhongyao himself.
"Okay, you should be on standby first! This recovery pod needs to be brought over by the leader to take a look. ”
Zhao Zhongyao knew that although he had developed the recovery capsule. But I haven't shown it to the leader yet. Now that it has been transported to this military airport, it is also necessary to give it to the leaders to visit.
"Yes! I'll stand by for now. The pilot listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words and went to stand next to the plane again.
Zhao Zhongyao went to the command center of the airport again, picked up the phone, and made a call to Political Commissar Li. Tell me about the fact that he has developed the space recovery capsule. And said that he was about to conduct a high-altitude fall experiment. If Political Commissar Li is interested, you can take a look.
After Political Commissar Li received Zhao Zhongyao's call, he was also very happy, and immediately agreed to come and have a look.
In this way, after waiting for more than 10 minutes, Political Commissar Li took his special car and arrived at this large military airport.
Seeing that the leader was coming, Zhao Zhongyao also hurriedly greeted him.
"Leader, is it fast! It'll be over in a moment. Zhao Zhongyao walked over and first stretched out his hand to shake hands with Political Commissar Li.
After Political Commissar Li shook hands with Zhao Zhongyao, he patted Zhao Zhongyao's shoulder again and said, "Zhongyao, as soon as I hear what you say, I can't wait to see what this space recovery capsule looks like!"
