Chapter 990: Fire·in·the·Hole!
readx; The San Marco launch platform is a small launch platform that can launch rockets with a very small carrying capacity. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From a distance, the launch platform looks like an offshore oil production platform, this old steel frame offshore building built 50 years ago, after I don't know how many times to rebuild and paint, it looks a little mottled, obviously the management and use are not very perfect.
Even since 2004, this launch platform has not actually launched anything.
But at this moment, the entire launch platform is full of busy crews.
Most of them wore lazy Yafei's overalls, and a few wore powered exoskeletons, and they worked together very smoothly, quickly tidying up the old launch platform and erecting the rocket to one side.
When Chen Wei saw this rocket, he couldn't wait to be like Jiang Sanjia, grabbed Chen Haocong and asked, "What the hell are you doing!"
And the CIA officials who couldn't shake off the kraft candy in the back laughed when they saw the rocket with their own eyes.
"Dad, look, this is our first rocket!" Chen Haocong said excitedly to Chen Wei.
He was like a kid who had just gotten a new toy and was showing off to his father.
Bear Child Technology started with "Mecha Divine Soldier", in terms of technical content, the technical content of Mecha Divine Soldier is much higher than that of the rocket in front of him.
But strictly speaking, the mecha god soldier is not entirely the credit of him Chen Haocong, unlike this rocket, it is completely Chen Haocong himself to form the team, and then designed it little by little.
And in such a short period of time, they not only designed a rocket, but also integrated multiple technologies with others to create a satellite that can be called a metamorphosis.
The true form of this satellite, if revealed, is afraid that a large number of people will be scared to death.
And at this moment, the satellite is waiting to be put into orbit by a rocket.
Rocket Chen Wei has seen it from TV.
He also scribbled rockets on paper as a child, and it was a Long March bundled rocket with four auxiliary rockets.
At this time, the rocket in front of him is also like this, with a long middle and four small rockets on all sides.
It is...... The proportions are not quite right.
It's like a Long March series bundled rocket flattened and inflated, like a child's graffiti, a fat version of a cute version of the rocket.
Looking at Chen Haocong, who invited merit, Chen Wei couldn't bear to say a hundred words, and there was only one sentence in a thousand words: "Congcong, why is this rocket so thick?"
"Because it's so capacious. Chen Haocong pointed to the rocket and said: "Dad, you see, this is our experimental rocket, in fact, the central cylinder you see is not a rocket, but the body of the satellite, and the four small rockets on all sides are our experimental rockets." ”
The rocket designed by Chen Haocong and others was originally just a small rocket, but because what Chen Wei needed to launch was too big, it became a bundle of four rockets.
Now the technical difficulty has increased again, and it almost exhausted the people in Rocket Lab. Fortunately, with the strong scientific and technological support of the Lazy God Department, it was successfully designed.
"The rocket itself isn't actually a rocket?" Chen Wei's eyes widened, and then he looked at the huge object like a train car in the center with a scrutinizing eye, this thing...... Is it a spy satellite?
"Hey, I'm afraid this isn't the kind of little satellite that the CIA is hoping for. Jiang Sanjia said with a smile.
"yes, it's big. Chen Haocong smiled, "Dad, just wait and be surprised." ”
Outside, the CIA officials also looked at the rocket in disbelief, the appearance of this thing, it looked ...... It's not easy, can this shape really fly? Shouldn't it turn into a cannon battle and blow them all up?
Chen Haocong explained why the rocket was so thick, but Chen Wei still felt that something was wrong.
The shape of this rocket is a bit strange.
Especially at the top of the center, it's like a ball on top of it, and someone has drawn a strange face, which is probably what the melancholy robot in the movie "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" looks like.
"Hmm...... This rocket is so thick, why do you have an egg on your head?" Jiang Sanjia leaned over and asked a question that Chen Wei was embarrassed to ask.
"Brother Sanjia, quality, quality! What is this called a top egg? This is called a top ball!" Chen Haocong glared at him, very dissatisfied with this guy's hard work to slander him so much.
Then he said very proudly: "So, I named the experimental rocket the Big Head Doll!
"I think...... Our definition of moe is a little different...... "Jiang Sanjia Dao."
And you're definitely an incompetent star.
The mecha god soldier is named Little Bench, and the rocket is named Big-headed Doll, are you going to name Hulu Baby next?
No matter what Jiang Sanjia says, Chen Haocong is still very proud of his "big-headed doll".
Beside him, several rocket lab staff, looking at the "big-headed doll" in front of him, the eyes were also very complicated.
Excitement, nervousness, anticipation, fear, all at the same time......
Soon, the preliminary preparations were completed, Chen Haocong clapped his hands and said: "The launch is about to start, please leave the launch platform or enter the command room!"
When the rocket is launched, the erupted flame is sprayed directly into the sea, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by tailitis, but it is also impossible to leave people on the platform at that time.
Otherwise, it will end up with the original rocket roast pigeon.
Chen Haocong cleared the scene, and then invited his father to the command room on the other side of the launch platform.
Naturally, those in the CIA were cleared.
The staff of the rocket laboratory did the final inspection, and then Chen Haocong said: "Everyone has checked it, and after checking it, I will ignite it!"
Chen Wei and Jiang Sanjia looked at each other, this is the launch?
Don't people have to find some launch window for launching, and calculate it accurately?
How does it feel...... It's like a kick for the New Year?
"It doesn't matter, our rocket has enough thrust and enough power to adjust the orbit and orbit speed. Anyway, it's too lazy to adjust, and everything is left to the flight control system. Chen Haocong explained, and then began the countdown: "10, 9, 8, ready to ignition...... 7, 6, 5, Ignition, 3, 2, 1!
"Boom!", the rocket ejected a scorching tailitis and slowly rose into the air in a huge amount of water vapor.
In that instant, almost everyone's throat was raised to the throat eye.
Especially the people at Rocket Lab, one is that they really hope that this launch will be successful.
Moreover, they all know that if the "metal hydrogen and metal oxygen" fuel mixture in these four small rockets explodes......
It's basically the equivalent of four nuclear bombs, and everyone has to finish playing.
It wasn't until the rocket slowly accelerated, rising to a height that was difficult to see with the naked eye in tens of seconds, that everyone cheered.
The launch seemed to have been successful.
Chen Haocong waved his arms for a long time, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw Jiang Sanjia coming out from under the table with a disgraced face, and wondered: "Brother Sanjia, what are you doing under the table?"
"You bear child, what's not good to shout, you have to shout! I've been raining bullets all day long, isn't it all a conditioned reflex!"
"Then you can't get under the table, huh, what about my dad?" (To be continued.) )
