The transition of the Yishan Super Rocket is different from other rockets.

It does not have a traditional assembly building, and naturally it is not rolled out on a mobile platform after being assembled in the assembly building.

Time is pressing, so Navigator Aerospace is not built according to the traditional rocket demand module, and besides, the Yishan rocket is not a traditional rocket, so the model was changed.

Sweet Potato Island has a large manufacturing plant, which is large enough to build the booster module and launch vehicle module of the Yishan, which can then be propelled into the assembly building of the Yuanhang super-heavy rocket for upright inspection.

The height of the Yuanhang assembly building is more than 100 meters, which is enough to stand up the 90-meter-high Yishan booster and the 70-meter-high Yishan launch vehicle.

There is no way to assemble them together, after all, the height of 160 meters is more than the height of all vertically assembled buildings on the planet.

So the Navigator's strategy is to build a 180-meter-high launch tower, and the transfer platform for the thrusters is the launch platform, which will be driven directly to the top of the launch pool for fixation, and then the mobile platform with the launch vehicle will be driven to the side, and the crane on the launch tower will lift the carrier and put it on the thrusters.

In one fell swoop, the Yishan Super Rocket was assembled.

Although the mass of the Yishan rocket will exceed 10,000 tons after being filled with fuel, when it is empty, their mass is only a few hundred tons, and the cargo carried in the carrier will not exceed 1,000 tons, so it is not too difficult to lift it.

The 180-meter-tall Super Transmitter is a pure white steel frame structure, without any decoration or design, everything is based on practicality, but its tall body and thick steel pillars are enough to stimulate people's nerves.

Especially when the Yishan rocket, which is about the same height as it, stands next to it, it makes people's blood boil.

After assembling the Yishan, the launch tower closed several robotic arms and boarded the Yishan, which were located at the junction of the launch vehicle and thruster, the closure of the cargo compartment of the vehicle, the "window" for the inspection of the cargo compartment, and the "window" for the inspection of the booster.

Needless to say, the connection between the carrier and the thruster is the place where it needs to be detached when it flies to a certain height, and the engineers have to check whether the docking there fits, and they also need to check whether it can be separated normally after launch.

The inspection of the closure of the cargo compartment is similar, and it is transferred from the assembly building to the assembly building, and then the lifting operation is carried out, so it is necessary to check whether the closure device is in good condition.

The cargo cover of the carrier is large, directly the same length as the cargo hold, and the opening and closing shafts are at both ends of the diameter line of the circumference, and the two hatch covers can directly expand half of the space of the cylindrical cargo hold when opened.

As for the "window" of the cargo hold inspection, it is interesting, it is said to be a "window", but in fact it is a "doorway", which is at the bottom of the cargo compartment cover.

Engineers can open that inspection window and go into the cargo hold to inspect the cargo, and there is an engineering passage in a circle of upward circles on the bulkhead of the cargo hold, and the engineers can go all the way up to inspect the appearance of the cargo.

In particular, the connecting mechanism that secures the bottom and top of the cargo is also the focus of their inspection.

Eventually, they will enter the top control center of the launch vehicle and inspect the rocket as a whole.

The booster inspection window is similar, and it is all about going inside the rocket to do a final check of the equipment.

And the inspection without a robotic arm, that is, the connection between the booster and the active launch platform is fixed? Does this have to be examined? Don't hold it on when it's time to ignite it? That's what you need.

After the inspection, all the staff exited, and then began to fill the fuel, nearly 10,000 tons of fuel need to be filled? Is it going to take a while? So this time is the time for netizens to discuss.

"It looks so huge, people walk down there and feel like ants!"

"This must be the largest rocket ever built by a human, right?"

"It should be, the previous largest were Saturn V and Long March 9, if it weren't for the starship rocket that has shrunk to 9 meters in diameter? It was originally 12 meters in diameter and could have been the largest, but now whoever it is? Not as big as a mountain-moving rocket. ”

"Originally, the human town was supposed to be a 23-meter-diameter Sea Dragon rocket, but it's a pity that the goods have been on the drawings, I'm a pity? Now there is a 20-meter-diameter Yishan Town, and I am very relieved. ”

"Do you think there will be bigger rockets in the future, such as 25 meters in diameter, or 30 meters, 50 meters, or even larger?"

"It's hard to say, there may or may not be, after all, I think the birth of different types of rockets should be based on different mission needs, just like Saturn V, which was born for the manned lunar mission, and the Long March 9, also for the manned lunar mission of Tianxia, and then the current Yishan, for the Tianting space station project."

"Yes, I also think so, of course the Sea Dragon's ability is strong, 550 tons of low-earth orbit carrying capacity, if it can be built, it will be the absolute strongest rocket for mankind, but at that time there was no place for it at all, so it was destined not to be built."

"Ahem, the development of things must not only have their own struggle, but also consider the course of history, although the Sea Dragon rocket can indeed be built, but it is impossible for human beings at that time to carry out a plan like the Tianting space station, what is the use of light delivery equipment, the level of scientific and technological development in other aspects is not in place, and the construction cost is definitely increasing geometrically, look at the International Space Station, more than a dozen countries have been built for more than ten years, if it is not for the construction cost to be unaffordable, do you think Merriken will cooperate with Lao Maozi? Will there be a need for those partner countries? ”

"I think what you said makes sense, but sometimes human beings themselves are unreasonable, so in the future, no one can say for sure, what if some countries have their brains pumped, they want to get on a rocket with a diameter of 21 meters?"

"Haha, then wait and see, anyway, I like big rockets, and the bigger the rocket, the happier I am!"

"Okay, okay, the fuel for the Yishan rocket seems to have been filled, but what is it that is being launched this time?"

"I don't know, the navigator has been getting more and more mysterious lately, don't you be a traditional cement lump, right?"

"I think this is the first flight of the Yishan, but according to the tradition of the Navigator, this time it must be carrying real guys, maybe it is still important!"

Of course it's important!

Tang Chao, who has enough self-confidence, no longer engages in any vain test flights, especially cargo equipment.

Every time they fly, they are real guys with high prices, which makes people call them bold and at the same time, by the way, others, especially those in the aerospace industry, are increasingly unable to see through the strength of the Navigator.

They have speculated about how many laboratories the Navigator Group hides around the world, and it seems that the direction of laboratory research is not the same.

No one knows what kind of new technology the Navigator will burst out in the future.

On the side of Sweet Potato Island, after the fuel is filled, all items are self-checked for the last time, and all are marked in green, indicating that the whole system is fine.

So what are you waiting for, take off!

Clear!

All the staff retreated into the safe area and left the rocket launch danger zone, especially this time it was the first flight, although Tang Chao was 100% sure, but the safety rules still had to be observed.

After confirming that the launch area was emptied, everyone's eyes focused on Tang Chao.

Every time there is a major or first launch mission, Tang Chao will be present, he is present, and of course he has to shout the countdown.

So because of this, every time they saw Tang Chao present, people knew that something big would definitely happen.

More and more events have been certifying this and never missed.

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

"Ignition!"

At the moment when Tang Chao pressed the launch button, people only saw sparks shining in the engine vent, but the whole world was quiet.

After a few seconds......

"Boom—"

The take-off of the 10,000-ton rocket was really earth-shattering, and it is no wonder that the Sea Dragon planned to launch in the sea.

I saw that the huge impact of the flame directly "smashed" into the pool below, and then directly vaporized the water in the pool, and finally came out of the hot water vapor from three directions.

Three clouds of water vapor accompanied by a huge rocket soared into the sky!
