After the plan was announced, there was a heated debate. Everyone agreed that Meng Xiaobai's goals were too "ambitious", and any of them would take ten years to develop.

However, Meng Xiaobai tried to disagree with the crowd and subdivided the tasks into groups and individuals, requiring everyone to only need to complete their own tasks.

Everyone thought it was an impossible task, but when they saw that the task assigned to their group was not so far away, they agreed.

In fact, in the past few months, Meng Xiaobai and Jin Mu have led the R&D personnel to gradually solve the most difficult parts. Plan change is inevitable.

Faster than them, is the manufacture of quantum communication satellites. Deep Space Technology's communication technology was already the world's top-notch, and with the help of robots and related technical data, a new miniature quantum communication satellite was soon developed and began to be produced in factories.

This quantum communication satellite will orbit in low Earth orbit and create an ultra-high-frequency quantum communication network between other quantum communication satellites and ground-based communication base stations.

……

On December 5, Deep Space Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. issued a message: "Because of the plan to be changed, the launch vehicle flight test originally scheduled for January 1 was canceled and postponed to February 3." ”

As soon as this news came out, the deep space "blacks" were excited.

As many people like you, as many people hate you. The same is true for Meng Xiaobai and for the company Deep Space Technology.

In the Internet public opinion before, it has always been the deep space fans who have the upper hand, and after several months of grievances, they finally let the deep space blacks find an opportunity.

Internet celebrity "Noah" immediately posted a new update, saying: "As I expected, this plan is a lie. I think it's an exaggeration that they're setting for January 1, how can the rocket be developed so quickly? Now it's postponed for a month, and then next month, and then it's an excuse to excuse itself. ”

The online media also reported on this incident, and the media analyzed: "Although the rocket of the deep space exploration company has the help of the senior brother in the field of Huaxia Aerospace, aerospace science and industry and the launch vehicle research institute, the difficulty is not as simple as deep space science and technology thinks." ”

"We have so far learned that the development of launch vehicles for deep space technology is not going well, and the crude oil program has been completely rejected. It is not yet known whether the new scheme will work smoothly, and it is very likely that the rocket will not be successfully tested on February 3. ”

Fans of deep space technology naturally expressed deep regret, while a large number of people at home and abroad rejoiced, wishing that the rocket could not be made.

Because of this project, the current investment funds of Deep Space Technology almost occupy the profit space of the entire group, and a failure is a huge blow to Deep Space Technology.

……

"Are you sure?" In the jet propulsion laboratory, Meng Xiaobai, Jin Mu and a kind of R&D personnel are testing their new rocket engine.

The Hercules rocket engine was designed by Meng Xiaobai and Jin Mu with the help of Bruce Wayne's information.

Its theoretical thrust is more than five times stronger than that of the previous Honghu rocket engine!

"Confirmed!" Kaneki nodded solemnly, the current technology is no longer something that he can tinker with casually, even if it is him, he has to take it seriously.

"Start the simulation run analysis!" Meng Xiaobai shouted.

"Start the simulation run!" The staff immediately turned on the simulation operation system, which is a specially written intelligent system that can simulate the operation of a rocket engine and even a rocket launch simulation.

"Thirty percent of the process...... Eighty-nine percent of the process...... The simulation run is complete, and the simulation result is normal. "The results of the simulation system are a shot in the arm.

"Start the physical testing experiment right away. ”

There was a small problem in the experiment of the physical test, and it took Meng Xiaobai and others a few more days to solve it.

At the same time, the launch of a new Pterodactyl launch vehicle, designed according to the thrust and numerical design of the Hercules rocket, began to be manufactured.

This time, its maximum take-off weight will rise to 1,800 tons, nearly double the previous 890 tons!

Again, it has more engines installed in its thrusters, bringing the total number of Hercules rocket engines to thirty-six units.

The launch cost of this rocket body directly soared nearly three times, reaching two billion Huaxia coins. That's a bad number, and all space agencies and commercial rocket companies are trying to make launches cheaper.

And if the high launch cost of the WingGod rocket will greatly drag down the progress of the project - unless, their rocket body recovery technology can be successful!

With the success of the rocket body recovery technology, the main parts of the rocket can be reused, and the average launch cost will be directly reduced to one to two hundred million Chinese coins!

……

The Rocket Recovery Technology Project Department, which is a huge department, is led by a team from the Huaxia Academy of Launch Vehicles.

"Using parachute recovery is the most feasible option at the moment, but the problem of parachute recovery of liquid rockets is too great. The landing point is uncontrollable, which is easy to cause safety accidents. Secondly, parachute recovery may cause damage to the rocket body, and the maintenance cost after recovery is higher than the launch cost!"

Kaneki is giving a lecture to the team and guiding them in their research direction.

"So we were going to use engine deceleration and control technology to recover the arrow body – a technology that was very new to us. ”

"Here we will have several major problems, repeated ignition of the engine, vector control of the engine and vector thrust control...... Using the grid wings, keep the engine ahead of the position and enter the aerodynamic steady state......"

With Kaneki's explanation, the implementation of this technology has become feasible, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Meng Xiaobai also specifically asked the inspection team to use a 3D scanner to strictly inspect every part, from the small screw to the rocket side plate, after completing the routine inspection, to ensure that there will be no quality problems.

As the scheduled launch date of the rocket is getting closer and closer, many domestic and foreign media have begun to ask the Deep Space Exploration Technology Company whether the rocket can successfully test fly.

"It's not just a test flight! The cost is too high!" Meng Xiaobai discussed with the experts, "The first time we did, we directly carried out the launch mission!"

"Wouldn't this be too risky?" said Zhan Haoran, "We have never tested a rocket with such a large carrying capacity." ”

"When it comes to rocket launches, every step is history-making. Meng Xiaobai said, "Moreover, there is not much difference between the cost of test flights and missions." Compared to the launch cost of rockets, the manufacturing cost of micro-quantum satellites is much less. The launch failed, and we lost much. But if the launch is successful, it can save us a lot of capital and time. ”
