The background color of the "First Voyage" is white, and there is a blue texture on the top, which can be said to be in the same vein as the domestic rocket.

The second stage is printed with the words "Star Navigator" and "First Voyage", which represent the name of the company and the model of the rocket, respectively.

On the top fairing is the company's logo, and a white rocket takes off in a blue circle.

When the "First Voyage" takes off, it can form a nesting doll pattern.

The diameter of the rocket body of the "Chu Voyage" is only 2.5 meters, and the core stage and booster are both this diameter, which is very versatile, and cannot compare with the international mainstream diameter of more than 3 meters and 5 meters of multi-core stage, let alone 7 meters and 10 meters.

And it's also a three-booster, which is very different from the main two- and four-booster structures on Earth.

Of course, there are rockets with the same number of boosters as it, which is Merriken's Cosmic-5 rocket, which also has a structure of three boosters.

But the triple booster structure of the Cosmic God-5 rocket is simply capable of forcing obsessive-compulsive disorder, they are not evenly placed in three directions, but two on one side and one on the other.

It also has an advanced version, with five boosters, three on one side, and two on one side.

Every time he saw it, Tang Chao, who was a symmetrical party, felt uncomfortable.

Although the "First Voyage" he designed was three boosters, they were at least evenly distributed in three directions, and the lines connected by the three boosters were an equilateral triangle that was axisymmetric.

The height of the "Chu Voyage" is only 44 meters, and the take-off weight is 400 tons, which is about the same as the Long March 3B carrier rocket, which is 12 meters shorter and more than 50 tons lighter than the Long March 3B.

It's such a brother-level rocket, but the carrying capacity is a little better than that of the Long March-3B.

It also guarantees that it can send the "Kanyue No. 1" to the moon smoothly.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Chao had already cooperated with Bizhan to start a live broadcast, although Bizhan's live broadcast ability was not as good as other professional live broadcast platforms, but it was okay.

Not to mention that this is not a simple live broadcast, there are various forces in the rear to support it, and Abi is also a little more confident.

This live broadcast is different from the official live broadcast, it is a commercial live broadcast, so it is all a variety of ultra-high-definition lenses.

At this time, Tang Chao was already sitting in an excellent position at the coastal launch site, and from here he could clearly see the "Chu Hang" rocket erected on the launch pad.

It is now temporarily set up as a small live broadcast room, and he sits with three people for an open-air tea party.

There is an engineer from the launch site, an officer of the Lunar Grand Prix Management Committee, and a moderator.

Needless to say, the host is the one who hosts the rhythm of this live broadcast and the tea session.

He will draw some questions from the barrage and comment area for the three people present to answer, and if there are no good questions, he will ask some prepared in advance.

The engineers at the launch site are basically answering some questions for everyone.

The Grand Prix officer could have talked about it.

The man's name was Paul, a common name for Merrican, in his forties, bald, but he spoke Tianxia fluently, which was one of the reasons he was sent over.

As for the purpose of coming, of course, it is to supervise the entire launch process.

Although this is a test launch, according to the rules of the competition, as long as it meets the competition limit, and then the moon sampling is safely returned within the specified time, it will be counted as a result.

So it doesn't matter if you test fire or not, as long as you shoot as required, they have the right to supervise you.

If you don't allow supervision, then your grades don't count.

Originally, this cargo could not enter here, but considering that this is not a sensitive area, it is not a variety of confidential computer rooms and workshops, and in recent years, various domestic departments have also been opened, and the launch center has also invited some people to visit and do publicity, so he let him in.

The most important thing is that the top doesn't want to cause Tang Chao's team to be forced out because of this, seeing that they are about to win the competition held by Merrican, how can there be any reason to let him out at this time.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is very good, just in time for last Sunday, and now it has attracted more than 10 million onlookers.

The audience can ask various questions in the barrage and comment area, and the host will ask if he sees something better or more interesting.

Like what.

"Captain Tang, some netizens said that your rocket carried such an important payload for the first launch, and they all said that you were too aggressive, if it fails, will it affect the progress of your game?"

Hearing this question, Tang Chao smiled, "I thought we were already very conservative, it turns out that we are so radical in the eyes of netizens, since this is the case, then I will say it." ”

"The technology used in this rocket has been studied for a long time, which is why we were able to build it so quickly."

"As for the success rate, it's really hard to say, because the success rate of rocket launches seems to me to be only half and half, either success or failure."

"We've done everything we can to do and all the items are qualified, so it's a good rocket in our eyes and ready to launch."

"It seems to me that as long as all the tests pass, as long as a full-fledged rocket is formed, and not a half-finished product is pulled out for launch, then there is no question of radical or not,"

After listening to what Tang Chao said, netizens felt that there was nothing wrong with it, whether they were radical or not, it would be up to them to see if they could fly.

Most people think of "radical" as the design is too exaggerated, it can't fly when it is built, or it is full of instability.

In their opinion, the first voyage "is a shape in the game", "the first flight in a few months", "as soon as it comes up to launch the lunar load" and so on all meet this indicator.

But people just built it, and all kinds of tests passed it, and it was completely a normal rocket that could fly.

It's just that I don't know if I can succeed at the first time.

So whether it's some praise or criticism, let's wait until after the launch.

After everyone chatted for a while, someone came to tell Tang Chao that it was time to prepare at the launch button position.

Tang Chao left the seat, let Zhang Liyan come up, and immediately went to the command and control hall.

At the same time, although it is early in the morning, there are still many people who are paying attention to this test launch mission.

There are not only those space enthusiasts who follow the Moon Grand Prix, the various competition teams, but also the official ones.

There is a live broadcast here in Tianxia, and there is also a live broadcast on Merrican's side, and they are the live broadcast of Tang Chao.

After all, Tang Chao and they speak Chinese throughout the whole process, and there is no need for ordinary people in Merrican to learn Chinese, so they need an English live broadcast room to slightly translate Tang Chao's live broadcast.

There is no need to translate word by word, just translate the key information, and then talk about your own views and answer the questions raised by netizens on your side.

Of course, the competition committee provided two live broadcast addresses, one is Tang Chao's all-Chinese live broadcast room, and the other is the English live broadcast room recommended by them.

Those who do not understand Chinese directly clicked into the English live broadcast room, and at first glance they were acquaintances, aerospace critics who commented on the technical solutions and levels of each participating team during this time, and immediately began to listen carefully and ask seriously.

And those international students who understand Chinese, or come from Tianxia, opened the two live broadcast rooms, and when they saw these two, their faces immediately looked bad.

"Shet, it's these two weird guys again."
