Chapter 0923 Launching a Satellite

Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Command and Control Hall.

The 50-square-meter screen is broadcasting the satellite launch process live simultaneously. The large screen is divided into three parts, with the image of the rocket launcher displayed in the middle and the launch tracking and control data on both sides.

In the observation area on the second floor of the hall, through the brown glass, He Yulan of the 'Holy Light' harmony department sat as the guest of honor, flanked by foreign guests, ministries and local leaders, and a group of media reporters.

In the hall are three rows of operating platforms, data image monitoring, measurement and control, meteorological operation, command and decision-making and other personnel are all in place. The launch commander is making a final countdown.

10,9,8,7......

Many cameras of the TV station were aimed at the crowd at the scene, and He Yulan was the focus of attention. As the helmsman of a private enterprise in China, this is the first time that he has been able to set foot in the field of rocket launches today.

Regardless of the outcome of the launch, this is a scene that will go down in history.

Don't look at He Yulan sitting still, in fact, her hands are a little shaky. Others see her as a steady progress, with infinite scenery. But she has been trembling in her heart, walking on thin ice.

In the past two or three years, the Harmony Department has spread the network across the country, which is a powerful boost for the 'Holy Light'. The Group's procurement and sales are achieved by a harmonious network close to the grassroots.

When this person is popular, gossip is indispensable. Others didn't dare to say anything about Zhou Qingfeng, and they couldn't find fault with Lin Wan and Huang Li, but they inevitably talked about He Yulan behind their backs.

Low background, uneducated, countryman, shit luck to catch a capable man.

The eldest sister never fights for anything, but she is holding back a lot of energy in her heart, and she must not hold back her own man. It is this force that drives the rapid development of the harmony system.

But thinking about it day and night, He Yulan didn't expect that one day she would be able to sit in the guest of honor seat at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, next to the big man surrounded by the stars holding the moon.

When the countdown appeared on the big screen, she was still tugging at her legs, her mind flickering, for fear that it was just a dream. Just a few years ago, the only appliance in her house was a flashlight.

Today, I actually explored the starry sky and stepped into the universe.

He Yulan felt that it was a dream, why wasn't it the case for others?

Sitting next to him was Minister Arnasyev of the Damao Space Agency. The white-haired haired man looked at He Yulan with a slightly sideways face, not only surprised by this woman's youth and beauty, but also sighed at the other party's power and status.

Now Da Mao is still suffering, and the aerospace industry has completely lost his temper.

The last citizen of the Soviet Union - the cosmonaut of the Mir space station, Sergei Murphy. Krikalev, at the time of his ascension, was the pride and hero of the country. But in the blink of an eye, the country was gone, and he became a loner.

Because of his lack of money, Krikalev was forced to drift alone in space for ten months, setting a world record at the time. But behind this record is the stagnant Damao aerospace industry.

It was Uncle Zhou who stretched out his hand to save Da Mao, and by the way, he grabbed a handful of wool - thousands of top aerospace scientists were abducted by the 'Holy Light' with a salary of two or three thousand US dollars.

These people were supposed to go to Europe to sweep garbage, go to the United States to see the gates, and if they were lucky, they would go to the south and north to do some projects. But the 'Holy Light' pinched the tip and took out the real money and pocketed the best part.

Not only did the Holy Light take away high-level scientists, but it was also very interested in hardware entities. For example, the RD-170 series of liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engines were taken away from the technology and production equipment.

The Soviet space department had stockpiled a batch of engines of the same series of Type 180, which were swept away by the 'Holy Light' at an ultra-low price of $5 million each. Spot plus order, sold more than 100 units.

It's only 500 million US dollars, but it has allowed the Damao aerospace industry, which is on the verge of collapse, to survive, and it has also allowed the rabbit's aerospace industry to develop by leaps and bounds.

Based on Maozi's aerospace technology, supplemented by the 'friendly support' of Eagle Sauce, 'Shengguang' has increased the diameter of the core stage of the domestic rocket from 2.25 meters to 3.8 meters, and the synchronous orbit carrying capacity has reached 15 tons.

This is enough to launch large, advanced satellites with long life and versatility.

...... 3, 2, 1, launch!

The countdown ended, and the launch commander pressed the button.

The rocket on the launch frame spewed out orange-red flames, rumbling and surging, and under the thrust of thousands of tons, the arrow body accelerated up and pierced into the sky.

He Yulan's heart rose to her throat, staring at the rocket on the screen. It's not just that rockets are expensive, but what is even worse is that the satellites on top are expensive.

This time, it is a 'one arrow and three stars' network, each satellite has nearly five tons, and the total price is more than 400 million US dollars. Not to mention He Yulan's heartbeat, everyone at the launch site felt heavy pressure.

The three satellites can be regarded as multi-country development.

'Holy Light' has pulled a large number of professionals from China, Japan, and the United States, and has quietly provided a lot of 'electronic waste' from the future, and pieced together the 'Magnolia' large-capacity ultra-bandwidth communication and broadcasting satellite.

When taking this model name, He Yulan almost died of shame and disagreed.

But Uncle Zhou didn't care, he knew that the eldest sister usually had low self-esteem, and deliberately named such a satellite that integrated many high-tech and even black technologies after her.

There are 24 C-band and KU-band transponders on the Yulan, which are expected to have an in-orbit life of eight years, and with the ground base station, the three satellites can meet the needs of instant communication in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Booster separation.

The first stage rocket is shut down.

Separation of the first and second stage rockets.

Throw the fairing.

The two-stage rocket was shut down and separated.

The three-stage rocket was shut down and separated.

Separation of stars and arrows.

Satellite solar panels unfolded.

Reports continued to come from the TT&C stations and TT&C ships on the ground and at sea, and the good news that each launch step had been successfully completed sounded in the Xichang Command and Control Hall.

Every time the commander-in-chief shouted at the scene, the hall would burst into applause. He Yulan, who was sitting in the observation area, was nervous and her heart was throbbing, thankful that every link was successful, and she was worried about whether the next link would go well.

Until the commander-in-chief announced that the three satellites had 'successfully entered the predetermined orbit and were successfully launched', He Yulan was already sweating and soaking wet.

This is a $400 million satellite, and after a few months of commissioning, it will give wings to the expansion of the 'Holy Light' and the harmonious system at home and abroad."

It will even provide 'star' services for domestic television stations, so that the media can spread their voices further afield. The era of domestic local TV stations competing for beauty has come ahead of schedule.

At that time, the westernmost part of the Asian continent could also receive television programs from the East. With the satellite TV receiver that is being promoted all over the world, you are not afraid of not killing each other.

At that time, I will kill you and sell you, and you will have to thank me.

There was warm applause at the scene, and He Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and shook hands with everyone around her to express her gratitude. Her forehead was sweaty, her face was delicate, beautiful and dignified, and she couldn't be justified.

Minister Arnasyev, who was sitting next to him, congratulated He Yulan, laughed and complimented, and deliberately asked: "I heard that you have some conflicts with local chickens in the Black Sea?" Do you need our help to mediate? ”

Conciliation?

Mao Zi wants to intervene and sell his teammates again, right? Look at Syria, it's your traditional art. Don't be a teammate of Maozi, in contrast, the Japanese are all gentle and courteous gentlemen.

He Yulan shook her head with a smile and declined: "I am very grateful for the concern of His Excellency the minister, but we can even launch a satellite into the sky, and that little dispute is not worth mentioning at all." I'm sure the chickens will be taken care of. ”

Polite, but tough.

What is a native chicken?

Side to go.

Lao Tzu's goal is the sea of stars!
