Chapter 546: Failure and Success
Satellite launches seem very simple, just ignition and waiting for them to fly, but in fact, what is poured behind it is the hard work of a generation, or the hard work of tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people.
At that time, the number of participants exceeded 300,000, which was not inferior to the United States in the atomic bomb back then.
This track seems to have omitted the research link, but to be completed within a month, the entire construction team will use three engineering corps of the construction corps, and there are more than 400 experts from all walks of life.
With the addition of the surrounding security logistics personnel, the number of people here is definitely more than 10,000.
What's more, there are still a large number of infrastructure and scientific research personnel in this place, and it is impossible for the construction of this track not to be accounted for and budgeted.
Otherwise, they would really be stupid.
Now that they have figured out the way to launch this electromagnetic rail, they can then study other things, and it is only a matter of time before they develop the electromagnetic railgun, as Minister Wu thought, if they really master the electromagnetic principle and use it in the right place, it may not be impossible to launch a big guy as heavy as 59 into the sky.
But it's just talking, really let the 59 go to the sky and not fall into pieces, but if you can hit dozens of tons of things into the sky, with accurate calculations, then this will become a big killer, and after this thing has made great progress, aerospace technology will have absolute progress.
You must know that catapults on aircraft carriers like the current ones used to only take off in a sliding jump, followed by steam catapults. Now it's all an electromagnetic catapult. Electromagnetism will always be the mainstream development direction in the future, once China has figured out this thing. In the future, it can be realized on other ships, even the current Liao. It could not be achieved on the Ning ship. In the future, this can also be achieved on other ships, and it is important to know that the technology of aircraft carriers can be very difficult to master, and now there are quite a few people in the world who have mastered the technology of steam catapult, but only the United States has mastered the technology of electromagnetic catapult.
If China masters this electromagnetic catapult technology, it means that China's research on aircraft carriers will be upgraded to another level.
But this qiē is just the beginning.
When these people saw that the launch unit weighing thirteen tons was lifted and placed on the orbit, the expressions of these people also began to get nervous as the launch approached, what are you kidding, how do you look at this electromagnetic orbital launch at this time is a new technology, and after the previous electromagnetic acceleration? If you go to heaven, you can be free? How fast can three kilometers accelerate this big guy?
The gang is curious. In this three-kilometer distance, what kind of speed can the electromagnetic acceleration accelerate?
"Countdown to launch!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Launch!"
The people standing in front of the screen saw that the baffles on both sides of the launch track suddenly erupted with a burst of intense electric light.
"Oh my God! Electro-light, what a strong electromagnetic reaction! ”
The launch unit, which was still stationary, suddenly accelerated, as if it had stepped on the accelerator, and it turned out to be directly noisy and heading out, even the best racing car could not compare to its acceleration at this moment.
It only takes a few seconds to break 100 kilometers.
This kind of acceleration is a bit of a luxury on a racing car.
What's more, at this time, it is still a big guy of 12 tons, and it is conceivable how much force is needed for such an acceleration.
The launch took only a dozen seconds to cover a three-kilometer distance. But for these reporters, a dozen seconds is longer than a century, and this time is more than that, judging from the acceleration of this thing, this thing weighs twelve tons even if it flies out of orbit. It is also impossible to reach the first cosmic velocity, which is the speed that escapes the gravitational pull of the Earth.
If this is all there is to it, then it is absolutely impossible for this speed to reach the first speed of the universe. Because after this thing reaches the top, there is no acceleration. Then the twelve-ton guy will fall under gravity.
But it didn't help!
In the eyes of those who watched the live broadcast around the world, this new type of orbital launcher. It is impossible to complete the launch.
In this U.S. Congress, technical experts are also there, and they are still closely following the development of this technology.
The success or failure of the launch is at this time.
"Sue me, can they succeed in this?"
The consulting expert on the side glanced at Ao Guanhai and stared at the screen with some sarcasm. "It can't be done! Once they get out of this orbit, the acceleration will stop, and then the twelve-ton thing will fall directly, let alone reach the first cosmic velocity, and the falling thing will become a bomb, blowing up this orbit. ”
The words of this expert speak for the minds of the vast majority of people, who are waiting to see the joke. It is clear that this orbit is only three kilometers to the end, and this distance of three kilometers is actually an acceleration process, and if the acceleration does not work, it means failure.
This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about this thing, because they have all seen that this acceleration cannot accelerate this twelve-ton big thing to that distance.
"That's not right! This transmitter is also electromagnetic! I don't know who shouted like this, but when the launch department reached the end of the three kilometers, at that end, a red light burst out violently, and rushed into the sky with extreme dazzlingness.
It's like a sword against the sky, and it actually goes straight to the sky.
"What is this?"
Everyone in front of the TV was dumbfounded.
But the next moment, the launch department rushed directly in, and in that red light, it went against the trend, but the speed accelerated in the opposite direction, as if it was anti-gravity.
"Impossible!"
"How is that possible!"
"Longevity! Newton cried and fainted in the toilet! ”
"I'm going, 59 is going to fly!"
"This is proper black technology!"
While a group of netizens exclaimed, the experts in front of the TV looked at the electromagnetic reaction brought out by the red light in horror.
"Oh my God! They actually built a stable electromagnetic channel! ”
No matter how stupid Ao Guanhai on the side was, he knew that this launch was successful. "What do you mean?"
The expert, who was not optimistic about this launch, scratched his head in annoyance. "Stabilize the electromagnetic channel. This channel can form an electromagnetic field-like effect, and this emitter of his is already electromagnetic. After entering this electromagnetic field, it is equivalent to being infinitely accelerated by this electromagnetic field. In other words, if the height of three kilometers is not enough, then the distance from the ground to space is the space for its acceleration, and this acceleration will be much higher than the ground. ”
Although it does not say the principle, it is very straightforward. Almost everyone in Congress understood.
"So this launch track of theirs can be made?" Ao Guanhai looked at his advisors in disbelief.
Now the entire advisory group is nodding.
Click on your sister! Ao Guanhai now wants to smash an ashtray into the past.
At this time, what do you say must be something, and is there any sincerity, who said that it must fail before?
These so-called successes and failures are all what they say.
Now this launch department has lifted off and entered the predetermined orbit, and the acceleration is still increasing when entering that red mang.
In other words, when you reach this sky, you can reach the first cosmic velocity!
After this launch department rushed up. The red rays at the end began to dissipate, as if they had never appeared, as if it was a ladder to the sky, and it began to dissipate after the person ascended to the sky.
"Oh my God! It's like a red carpet! ”
A reporter covered his head and said with some emotion.
This is the most awesome vision they have ever seen in their lives, the red passage in the sky seems to be an elevator, and this launch department is like a manned elevator.
It took a long time for the original high-thrust rocket to put this satellite into the established orbit, but with this launch department, it only takes more than an hour.
It can be said that as long as the satellites are in place. Then the electromagnetic track underneath this is also cooled.
The launch process was broadcast live throughout the whole process, and everyone watched it with fascination, knowing that this is a new technology, and it represents the technology that China has entered the space age.
"That's it! The first commercial satellite has already entered its designated orbit. And then there's our second one! ”
A group of reporters are messy in the wind, and Nima said that the satellite launch will be done? Now how come there is a second one, and it is launched so quickly. it!
However, when Zhao Li announced that the third satellite was going to start going into the sky, they couldn't complain.
Are you kidding. What the hell is this?
"Mr. Zhao, you actually launched three at once?"
"That's right! Generally speaking, satellite coverage has certain shortcomings. Therefore, the positioning coverage of the three satellites will also be more accurate. In this way, the coverage will reach no dead ends, which is still very good for rescue! Zhao Li said unhurriedly.
His own space station has been established, and this kind of orbital launch is actually dispensable for himself, but on the whole, what he needs is this thing as his biggest dependence.
China is beginning to enter the space age, and the space race will drag down the U.S. economy.
Some people may say that the United States can't afford to drag China down?
However, if you compare the launch cost of 100 million and the launch cost of 1 million, the difference between this is simply a world of difference.
You must know that even if it is the American Zeus spacecraft, at least nearly fifteen million fuel needs to be replenished for each launch, and most of the accessories need to be replaced, even if they can reduce it, the price can be controlled at most about 20 million, although it is a significant reduction compared to the previous funds of hundreds of millions of dollars, but compared with China's launch technology, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
What's more, at this time, they can only rely on this Zeus spaceship, and they can't use the others at all.
Just as they were about to work on that electromagnetic track technology, on that TV screen nine. One of the words of a person in charge of the Izumi Launch Center made all researchers in the United States lose confidence.
"We in China are willing to provide paid launch services to all countries and companies, and the cost of each satellite launch is 2 million!"
Million!
The price of 2 million yuan can only be described as cheap, a slightly richer person can afford it, and perhaps a middle-class person can afford it after saving for a while.
But these two million could send satellites into space.
What they didn't know was that Zhao Li's three launches were just introductions.
On the other hand, his private space station has already begun to hunt for space junk.
Those scrapped satellites and flying broken parts scattered everywhere became the targets of his capture.
Clearing out one satellite orbit after another is not only beneficial to one's own launch in the future, but more importantly, it can prepare for going out of the earth in the future.
Industrial areas have already begun to be opened on the space station.
This industrial area is trying to build the first large spaceship. (To be continued......)
