Chapter 818: Practical Success (I)
Chapter 818 Practical Success (I)
Although the vice premier of the Chinese side who participated in this event was very crying and laughing and wanted to talk to Yang Yiwei about this issue, he still held back after the end, because people from other countries did not talk about this issue, whether it was Britain, the United States or Russia, everyone did not express any opinion on this strange rocket, and he naturally did not say anything, besides, this does not represent the Chinese government, although it shows that such a rocket seems to be a bit embarrassing in front of the world. But thinking of the explanation of the chairman and the prime minister before leaving, he was still wise to say nothing.
None of this is his business, so the vice premier still smiled and went to discuss other topics with Yang Yiwei, in fact, there is nothing to say, anyway, it doesn't matter, right? These people are looking to see how this rocket will complete the mission after the worst of the time.
However, the room of the rocket launch platform of the Starfall Group is really different from the room of the rocket launch platform of various countries, there are not so many operators, probably more than 20 people, and after everyone entered the rocket reflection platform, seeing that the reporter has also placed the equipment and so on, Yang Yiwei smiled and said to everyone: "Welcome to the rocket launch site of the Starfall Group, now we will launch this big guy directly?" ”
"Uh, Mr. Yang, don't you need to think about time when launching rockets? At least coordinate satellites and so on, and space environment detection or something? "It was the vice premier who spoke, although he was not a professional in this field, but he had also been to the Jiuquan launch center several times, and he knew the steps of the rocket launch, and the time needed to be adjusted.
"Hehe, no, the rocket itself we launched is to clean up the cosmic garbage. You don't need to calculate the angle and time of entering the orbit, etc., just launch. Yang Yiwei shrugged his shoulders. There's another event after the rocket is launched.,Now it's okay to launch the rocket.,Anyway, what they care about is the scene of their own rocket launch.,And the disposal of space junk after the rocket lifts off.,They don't care about anything else at all.。
"Okay, let's get started." The vice premier consulted with senior officials from other countries before turning back to Yang Yiwei. Hearing that everyone had no opinions, Yang Yiwei immediately said loudly and directly: "Everyone, pay attention, the rocket launch is counted down to 1 minute." From now on, Bai Xue began to operate the monitoring program, and the rocket tower related procedures began to be evacuated. ”
In fact, all the personnel at the rocket launcher have been evacuated. "The 1-minute countdown to the launch of the rocket, the ignition procedure is initiated, and all relevant personnel are attentive. The monitoring program is turned on. 53,52…… 10。 9......" As Konishi's countdown begins. Everyone began to pay attention, and Lin Hu, who was standing beside Yang Yiwei, quietly poked him and said, "I said, you are a rocket like an iron bucket, can you do it." ”
"Don't worry, I promise their eyes will widen in a moment." Yang Yiwei whispered to Lin Hu and said that it was a rocket. In fact, this itself is the body of the satellite, in other words, unlike other countries that have a 1st level booster and a 2nd level booster when launching a rocket. This rocket only has this one booster.
"3, 2, 1, ignition!" When Konishi counted down the technique, all the people who had given the telescope held up the telescope to their eyes, and under the iron bucket-like rocket, a sky blue flame immediately appeared, which was different from the ignition situation of other ordinary rockets when launched, unlike other rockets, at the moment of ignition, there would be violent flames and smoke below, and now the flames below it were almost invisible.
"I'll go, won't I? Is something wrong? At this moment, the people who paid attention to the live broadcast couldn't help but start looking at each other, because everyone didn't understand, what was going on with this flame, and now almost everyone in the whole world who could see the live broadcast had seen a lot of rocket launch procedures, and at the moment of ignition, the flames below were as violent as a bomb explosion, and now they are invisible.
But before everyone could get an answer, they saw that the ugly rocket had begun to rise slowly, and accelerated at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, almost in a few seconds, it climbed directly beyond the height of the rocket launcher, and at this time, it could be seen that its tail was still spraying that kind of sky-blue flame, but it was not like it, but anyway, all in all, this flame was not violent, as if there was nothing.
Generally speaking, the time that a rocket can be seen by the naked eye is about to last from ignition to unobservability for more than 20 seconds to more than 30 seconds, but now in just a few dozen seconds, the rocket that has climbed to the sky is no longer visible to the naked eye, and this acceleration makes the officials of all countries look at each other.
Especially those technical officials who came with them to specifically evaluate this, their faces were even more solemn, just from the speed of this rocket liftoff, you can see how powerful the engine power of this rocket is, such a terrifying acceleration proves that this rocket engine still has sufficient power, although I don't know what is loaded in this rocket, but from the perspective of volume, its weight will definitely not be too light, compared to China's Long March series, that is, China's Long March C, The special lunar module to the moon has to make a thick circle, and the height is about the same.
It's almost the same as the Saturn 5 that the United States used to launch the space shuttle. With such a volume and such a terrifying acceleration, this proves that this thruster is very fierce, and everyone's eyes turned to the big screen in the launch hall almost instantly, only to see that a simulated space layer of the earth has appeared on the big screen, and at this time, the point representing the rocket is rising at a terrifying speed.
"The rocket is in good working condition and is expected to enter the low-altitude orbital layer in 10 seconds, taking a total of 1 minute and 50 seconds at an altitude of 200 kilometers." With Konishi's words, everyone looked at each other again, how long has it been? The speed of this rocket is a little too terrifying, 10 seconds later, that is, counting the previous ignition time, it only took 1 minute and 50 seconds to rise to an altitude of 200 kilometers? Closer to 2 kilometers per second on average? This speed reached more than Mach 5 almost in extreme time, accelerating a rocket of at least a few thousand tons to Mach 5...... What kind of thruster is this?
Everyone's face was a little solemn, especially these technicians who were specially responsible for the test began to discuss with each other, because the hall of the Starfall Group has begun to directly relay the picture transmitted back from the satellite, judging from the picture, this rocket has indeed entered the space layer of outer space, in an orbit of 200 kilometers, although the Earth's orbit ranges from more than 100 kilometers to 36,000 kilometers, but all in all, most of the garbage is still deployed in low-altitude orbits, Because there are only communication satellites in high-altitude orbits.
And at this time, these people found out that this rocket can be said to be not a rocket at all, because until now they have not heard such a prompt sound of the rocket's thruster detached, that is to say, this thruster can still be used after entering space, although this rocket is a little ugly, but at least the current scientific and technological skills are not worse than the main propulsion rockets of various countries!
The faces of these people were solemn, and the US Deputy Secretary of State who came to ask directly: "Mr. Yang, it seems that this rocket does not need to abandon the thrusters?" ”
"Hehe, yes, or simply strictly speaking, what you just saw is the satellite itself that we need to launch to clean up space junk, not the rocket, it will directly perform the role of cleaning up space junk next, if you want to see it, you can take a look here now, has Bai Xue scanned space junk now?" Yang Yiwei smiled and said directly.
This satellite is equipped with mechanical organisms, and the detection space of mechanical organisms has been specially modified, and the biological modification instrument has been upgraded, its detection distance has reached a terrifying 1000 kilometers, that is to say, a circular space with a radius of 1000 kilometers can be detected, and it is already very simple to detect space junk within this distance, and more importantly, now Yang Yiwei is not just a satellite in the detection, in the world's high-altitude space, There are mechanical eagles in the air to directly scan these space junk, and the detection range of these mechanical eagles is also 1000 kilometers, which is almost enough to detect all the altitude orbits within 1200 kilometers.
In the future, the biggest threat to Xuelu is these low-altitude orbit space junk, and there are basically not many of them. As soon as Yang Yiwei's words fell, Bai Xue's voice sounded directly: "A total of 74 pieces of space junk were found in the detection range, and now the orbit of the satellite is calculated." With Xiaoxi's voice, soon a running line appeared on the big screen, and with this running line, these high-ranking officials all found that this line was not a straight line or an arc, but an irregular route with twists and turns, and the location of those fragments was directly marked.
The nearest piece is about 40 kilometers away from the satellite, and it is moving in a circle around the earth at the first cosmic speed, and after confirming the first fragment, Yang Yiwei directly ordered the satellite to start moving, and then everyone saw that the blue dot representing the satellite on the screen began to accelerate rapidly, and almost after a dozen seconds, the distance between the two was shortened to a distance of about 1 kilometer, which made everyone a little shocked.
This acceleration is a bit scary, but it can also be understood in space, you must know that the debris itself is moving at a speed of 7.4 kilometers per second, and now the satellite is chasing so fast, it is really rare. (To be continued......)
