Chapter 804: The space-based weapon was successfully launched
After installation, various debugging and testing are carried out, and time passes day by day.
During this time, there was only one day suitable for launching, and everyone did not dare to relax, except for the due rest time, everyone put their time on work.
In this launch, a new type of rocket was adopted, and in terms of technology, all places were extremely strict, even if it was a screw, it was checked again and again.
A few months ago, the Great Wall Company also specially ordered a super-large launch platform and launch frame, and for this launch, the manpower and material resources invested are not small.
For these, Xu Ziling didn't dare to relax, and took the trouble to let the lion check it over and over again every day, for fear that there would be any mistakes.
Fortunately, both the Great Wall Company and the launch center knew the importance of this launch, and they did not dare to be sloppy at all, from raw materials to production processes, strict standards were implemented, and Xu Ziling did not find anything wrong.
Time passed day by day, a full week later, the final assembly project was finally completed, Xu Ziling personally tested it, discussed it with the Great Wall Company and the people in the launch center, gave everyone a day off, and then prepared to launch.
This week's overtime has made everyone physically and mentally exhausted, and in order to better meet the launch work, it is right to take a day off and take a proper rest, and the Great Wall Company and the launch center agreed without much consideration.
Soon it was November, the geographical location was special, the launch center was still sunny, compared to some places in the north, it was already snowing, and the temperature in the desert was still around 24 or 5 degrees.
In order to ensure the maximum success of the satellite launch, Xu Ziling did not plan to launch the space-based weapon into the highest orbit within the effective range, but launched it into an orbit of 6,000 kilometers, and then moved to a suitable orbit after a long orbit change.
Tens of thousands of kilometers of orbit and 6,000 kilometers of orbit are far apart, and of course, there is a big gap in terms of technology, and the choice of 6,000 kilometers of orbit is undoubtedly a lot less difficult for launching, and compared with high-orbit launches, the people of the launch center and the Great Wall Company are more confident.
After a short day, all the people entered the intense stage of preparation for launch, and finally debugged and monitored the satellites and space-based weapons related systems in real time.
Forty-eight hours later, everything was ready, and only the east wind was owed.
The launch time was set at 11 o'clock in the morning, and from the early morning of this day, the relevant staff began to be busy, releasing weather balloons to observe the weather conditions, checking the situation of the stars and arrows again, and so on......
The weather was as expected, with clear skies, moderate temperatures and high visibility, and in the morning, four hours before launch, the rocket began to refill the raw material in addition to the release of the weather balloon again.
One hour after the last, check the situation of the star arrow at the last time.
The launcher opens.
A minute before launch, the fuel pipe and cable began to disengage.
Thirty seconds, various monitoring platforms began to work.
The countdown to tens of seconds begins.
“10”
“9”
……
“1”
"Ignition."
At the sound of the command, the red button was pressed, the rocket roared, and a huge cloud of white smoke erupted from the tail erected on the launch platform, and the rocket began to lift off.
As the flames rose, the rocket began to take off into the air at a rapid pace.
"Observation No. 1 is normal."
"Observation No. 2 is normal."
“……”
Observation stations, including national ground stations and observation ships, and of course, there are also satellites established by Xu Ziling himself to carry out observations.
It is not that with the Eagle Eye satellite, which can observe any place, there is no need for a monitoring station on the ground, and one of the most important functions of the ground station is to test the signal, not to observe the flight dynamics of the satellite.
The Eagle Eye satellite is powerful, but it also has a drawback, that is, there are too few ground units, which are not enough to test satellite signals in various places, which plays a great role in the early stage of launch, but after launch, it can only rely on the ground station to test the coverage of the signal.
After more than ten seconds of liftoff, the rocket began to make a programmed turn, continued to fly for a while, the booster separated, and then the rocket was separated by the first and second stages, and the fairing was separated.
Ten minutes later, the second-stage engine was shut down, and then the satellite and arrow separated, and the satellite was put into orbit.
Entering orbit does not mean that the launch has been successful, but the most critical place has come.
At this time, everyone except the staff was staring at the big screen.
Is it possible to establish a signal connection to the ground? Can the solar panels open? These are the most important and important steps, and once they fail, all the preparations in the early stage will be wasted.
"The signal connection is successful!"
Soon, the excited voice of the staff came.
Rumble......
This sentence ignited the excitement in everyone's hearts at once, and if it weren't for the fact that they hadn't succeeded at the end of the day, they would have cheered.
Next, it depends on whether the battery sail board on the satellite can be opened, and everyone is waiting with bated breath to reach this last step.
While waiting, everyone spent the second like a year......
"The program is working normally, the windsurfing board is deploying......" As if a long time had passed, the voice of the staff could be heard again in the empty hall.
Although everyone saw the big screen showing real-time monitoring at this time, clearly showing the satellite windsurfing board, the voice of the staff was no less than the sound of heaven and fairy in their ears.
If it is an ordinary satellite, it basically means that the launch is successful.
This is not the case with space-based weapons, which also need to test whether the laser can be connected properly.
The staff of the launch center began to fine-tune the flight attitude of the satellite, so that the solar sail panels were aimed at the sun's irradiation, and Xu Ziling's other team began to test whether the space-based weapons were normal through the connection of the satellite.
The weapon itself is activated, and various data can be viewed......
In this process, everyone knew that the satellite had been successfully launched, but they did not mean to cheer, but waited for the results of the space-based weapon test.
The test of the space-based weapon system was even more difficult than that of the satellite, and after a full ten minutes, Zhang Laocai, who had personally inspected it, announced loudly with a trembling tone: "Everything is normal, the satellite has been successfully launched." ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Hearing this, no one suppressed the excitement in their hearts anymore, including the staff, all of them stood up and applauded vigorously.
Witnessing this moment with his own eyes, even if he saw a lot of exciting things, Xu Ziling was infected at this moment, and like everyone else, he danced and clapped his hands together.
With this thing, who else in the world can compete?
Rice country, count as a ball.
Island country, as long as Lao Tzu is willing, he will destroy his country in minutes.
In the future, whoever fights against the military factory will give him a laser cannon to see who has such a good one.
International practice, when it is so worth celebrating, the leaders have to say a few words, and Xu Ziling was also arranged, but he didn't want to focus on the front, so he volunteered to be the last.
The person in charge of the launch center, the person in charge of the Great Wall Company, came to the stage one by one, and the people in the launch center were real soldiers on duty, typical Northwest men, who did not say much, festive words, words of encouragement, and came down after a few words.
The people of the Great Wall Company have also dealt with Xu Ziling a few times, and they know that he doesn't like to be verbose, so what he said is also very simple.
It was Xu Ziling's turn, he also didn't say much, after three or two festive words, he said very generously: "In order to thank everyone, the promise of the previous red envelope will be fulfilled this month, the brothers, gentlemen, and sisters of the base, due to the system, your red envelope must not be there, but I promise here, from today to today next year, all the wine expenses of the base, I have it, everyone remember to drink well, of course, don't pour me wine, I can't drink your ......"
"Ha Lu Ha ......"
……
He has communicated with the Great Wall Company and the launch center about these things, and the leaders of both sides were not surprised when they heard Xu Ziling's words, but the people below are different, maybe they don't care about these, but they care about such a treatment.
As far as Xu Ziling is concerned, in the past ten days at the launch center, he has seen everyone's conscientiousness, and space-based weapons are countless times more important to him than the Eagle Eye satellite.
Many of the subsequent plans were based on space-based weapons, and once the space-based weapons failed to be launched, the plans of the military factories would be seriously affected, and there was a possibility of delay or bankruptcy.
Compared with taking out some money, the benefits they get will be tens of thousands of times the gain, so happy that the drink money and a little red envelope really don't matter.
What's more, the main beneficiary is still the person from his own company?
To build their own launch center, the military factory has this ability and financial resources, but in terms of role, they have no need for this at all, and the satellite launch mission will not be their business project, and it is conceivable that it is likely that they will need to cooperate with the two units in the future.
In this way, it is certain that the Great Wall Company has already dealt with the launch center.
The Great Wall Company has only a few dozen technical personnel who came to the launch center this time, and even if they spend money, they can only spend so much, and the launch center is purely a military unit, and it is certainly not possible to give money directly, but it does not hinder the sponsorship of materials.
Winning people's hearts, pulling relationships, and dealing with people are all these, with his status, others will not refuse, and the result is naturally happy for many parties.
The next thing is to celebrate, Xu Ziling also fulfilled his promise, the celebration banquet was Zhang Luo of the launch center, but the cost was paid by him personally, for this, he paid hundreds of thousands, and asked Director Cao to arrange people to go to the nearest city for a large purchase.
Seafood, a rare dish in the northwest region, and all kinds of high-end wines, anyway, are things that are usually rare in the base, so let them buy anything.
In the evening, everyone gathered in the canteen, and the base staff and family members all came, except for those who had to be on duty, but fortunately, the canteen of the base was big enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate the pomp and circumstance of these thousands of people.
"It's so lively......"
It is located in the northwest, although people from all over the world, but the living habits are inclined to the northwest people, drinking wine with a big bowl, dancing and boxing, such a scene is Yang Ruolan, who has been living in the south, has never seen.
Looking at such a bold scene, she was stunned for a while.
