When the suspended first-stage rocket was lowered, the technician also towed the rocket to the nearby warehouse for careful inspection.

Song Manli saw that liquid oxygen and hydrogen oil were pulled out of the storage box, and she asked Yang Jie: "The United States and Russia now use liquid oxygen and kerosene engines for high-thrust rockets, how do we use liquid oxygen and hydrogen oil?"

"Because our company is the most familiar with hydrogen oil, and it's also the cheapest. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile: "These aerospace kerosene requires a very low sulfur content of oil, only a very small number of oil fields in the world can do it, and only one oil field and refinery on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in our country can meet the standard, our hydrogen oil is synthetic, there is no problem of sulfur content, and because the calorific value of hydrogen oil combustion is much higher than that of aerospace kerosene, the same mass of rocket engines can work longer, less carbon deposit, and environmental protection." ”

"It turns out that unconsciously Zhonghua Xing Group has become so powerful in these aspects, and many of these technologies can be used in rockets. ”

Uncle also said with emotion at this time.

"Huaxing Group has been established for more than nine years, and we have invested hundreds of billions of dollars, and if we can't do it at the first-class level in some aspects, we will be sorry for our investment. ”

Yang Jie said with a smile.

In the next few days, Yang Jie basically inspected Qiongzhou Province, while Hu Huanzhi and other high-level people negotiated some projects with Qiongzhou Province.

He, Song Manli and others delivered the Sky Whale floating sea launch platform, rocket carrier and crane ship to Jiangnan Shipyard in Qinglan Port, and the command and control ship, two flat-bottomed boats and a salvage ship delivered by Honghu Shipyard.

At present, there are only a few wharves that can dock at the 5,000-ton level on the Qinglan Harbor side, and the 20,000-ton displacement rocket carrier crane ship can only be parked in the deep water of the harbor, not to mention the mountain-like floating sea launch platform.

At this time, the Sea Launch Platform parked in the middle of the harbor looks like a behemoth standing there, attracting passing ships and local residents to take pictures of it from the shore.

Local television stations have also reported on this, but now Huaxia Sea Launch has refused to be interviewed by the outside world, so it seems rather mysterious.

The cost of Huaxia Sea Launch Company to build such a fleet is as high as more than 6 billion, and this fund is borrowed by Yang Jie's own investment company.

A fleet of such a large fleet will not make money in four or five years, and there are no domestic banks that will lend money, and Guanghua Bank is a commercial bank, and it still has to make money, so he paid for this investment himself.

The ownership of this fleet is in the hands of Yang Jie, and Huaxia Sea Launch Company has the right to operate this fleet.

The command and control ship of the Huaxia Sea Launch Company has two huge circular phased array antennas and a helicopter installed on the deck, and the ship is equipped with corresponding systems and equipment, which can complete the functions of remote-controlled rockets, fuel and gas refueling, launch, rocket and satellite tracking and control.

The area of the flat-bottomed boat is very large, almost the size of a standard basketball court, and it has no power itself, and it is all towed by tugboats, and these two flat-bottomed boats are platforms for the landing of the first and second stage rocket engines.

And the salvage ship has a displacement of 3,000 tons and is specially used to salvage the fairing.

Yang Jie boarded these ships and inspected them carefully, and finally smashed the conference room of the command ship to listen to the report of the team leader Osside and the company's backbone team.

Osside is the former general manager of the Sea Launch Company, and has worked in the Sea Launch Company for eight years, but the Sea Launch Company has not made much money over the years, and when the headhunting company cooperated with the Huaxing Group Company approached Osside, the latter learned that it was the super-rich man behind the Huaxing Group who wanted to build a new Sea Launch Platform, and then agreed.

The Sea Launch Company, which he works for, was formed by Boeing, Russia, Ukraine, and Norway, and the company has fallen into a difficult situation mainly because of the interference of US officials in Sea Launch's operations over the years.

After all, launch vehicles are a sensitive field, and most rocket technology is often developed from intercontinental missiles, and for this reason, departments such as the US Customs and Excise have repeatedly investigated, restricted and even imposed huge fines on the company's launch and normal operation and maintenance.

Boeing was also fined $10 million and suspended for two months for transferring ICBM technology to non-U.S. allies.

The saddest thing is that last year, there was a rocket bào zhà incident at the Sea Launch Company, when in the equatorial Pacific waters, the Sea Launch Company's "Zenith" rocket ignited on time, because the Sea Launch Company had only missed one of the previous 23 launches, so it was full of confidence that it played a live online broadcast of the whole launch preview, and thousands of netizens also gathered in front of the computer to watch the spectacular launch scene.

Just ten seconds after the rocket was launched, an accident happened-

The rocket burst out into a huge fireball, and the rocket was full of fuel and liquid oxygen in an instant, swallowing the huge "Odyssey" Sea Launch Ping Tái Wán, and quickly formed a mushroom cloud that pierced into the sky!

Then a line of subtitles quickly popped up on the official website of Sea Launch: "There was an accident, the live broadcast ends here!"

This time, the rocket caused the destruction of the star and arrow, and the platform also caused serious damage, and the company has been in the process of ceasing operation until now.

After Osyd jumped ship, he began to organize manpower to start the operation of the Sea Launch Platform department, and various personnel recruitment and personnel training were smoothly promoted.

Yang Jie, Song Manli, Xiao Shu, Huo Xiaotian, and Lai Binghui then landed on the small tarmac of the huge floating launch platform by helicopter.

The Sky Whale floating launch platform is a half-submersible platform, the platform weighs 41,000 tons, is 143 meters long, 67 meters wide, and has a height of 58 meters from the bottom of the ship to the helicopter platform, with a total height of 80 meters.

The launch platform has a displacement of 22,400 tons and a draft of 8 meters when sailing from the home port to the launch area, in order to reduce the swing amplitude of the heavy carrier rocket during launch and improve stability, after arriving at the launch site, it is necessary to pump water into the pile leg of the launch platform to make its draft reach 23m, and the displacement of the launch platform is increased to 52,000 tons, which is already a medium-sized aircraft carrier.

Yang Jie also carefully inspected the rocket launch tower that can be upgraded and translated, in order to maintain stability and precision in the process of rocket carrying and crane ship and launch platform transfer, there is also a place under the launch pad to assemble rockets and satellites.

When the rocket and the satellite are assembled, they will undergo strict inspection and testing, and then they will be transferred to the launch frame with a robotic arm to be fixed, and the launch frame will be opened and the rocket will be erected.

At the time of rocket launch, the crew of the launch platform was evacuated to the command ship and sailed away to 5 kilometers away to ensure that the launch platform was unmanned, and the rocket began to be filled and launched.

Yang Jie also deliberately checked the fire and explosion-proof measures on the launch platform, just to prevent the rocket from igniting the liquid oxygen and hydrogen oil warehouse on the launch platform after the rocket bào zhà caused a larger bào zhà.

In order to achieve this design goal, the launch area deck and the launch tower are made of super alloy steel and a special thermal insulation coating.

After Yang Jie passed, he also specially watched a complete rocket launch simulation exercise.

At this time, Oset stuck the stopwatch and kept giving orders, meticulously, and the staff of the command ship and the launch platform were methodically carrying out the orders.

Rocket launch is a high-risk job, if the operation is not done properly, the rocket will be bào zhà, Oscede naturally did not dare to be careless, and immediately after joining the company, he also carried out various training.

Yang Jie also nodded when he saw this scene, if there is no experienced manager to lead the team, it will definitely take a lot of detours, and it is indeed a very cost-effective thing to dig up Osside this time.

This fleet, which belongs to Yang Jie, is based in Qinglan Port after that, and there is a launch mission that needs to be launched in the equatorial sea area 2,000 kilometers away.

The size of this fleet is more than double that of the Sea Launch Company, and the company's salary for Osside is much higher than the salary he received before, so he is naturally very attentive, and Yang Jie is also quite satisfied with Osside's work ability.
