Chapter 349: Launch

After a careful inspection, the crew confirmed that there was no problem with the spacecraft.

"The loading department, all in place, start loading according to the previous procedure." The person in charge shouted.

"Roger."

In response, the staff loaded the parts of the space station module, graphene solar film panels, main engines, fuel and other goods onto the Xuanwu-class spacecraft one by one.

The Xuanwu-class 001 is used to transport two space station cabins, solar membrane panels, space robots, and some fuel.

Xuanwu Class 003 and Xuanwu Class 001 carry the same cargo, while Xuanwu Class 005 transports two main engines and fuel.

November 13th.

All cargo was loaded onto three Xuanwu-class ships, and crews were conducting one last routine inspection.

At the same time, in the general control room of Jianmu No. 2 Base, a large number of staff members or researchers have all been in place.

Zhao Hongxing looked at the report, whether it was the weather or other conditions in the past few days, it was suitable for the launch of the spacecraft.

Of course, the weather conditions at the Bazhong base are the most suitable for mass projector launches, mainly in the basin terrain, and there are no strong winds such as typhoons.

Comparatively speaking, the climatic conditions of the Kaohsiung base are much worse, in a subtropical climate, coupled with the topography of the island, typhoons are very frequent.

"Zhao Bureau, the Beidou system has been adjusted and can cooperate with our launch work at any time, and the Nandou system of the Galaxy Consortium will also cooperate with our launch work." The head of the satellite monitoring department reported.

Zhao Hongxing nodded: "I know." ”

"Report, the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft has entered the launch position inside the mass projector."

"The storage station has enough power to support 12 consecutive launches of mass projection."

"The ring airship and the magnetic vacuum cable have been reviewed and can be used."

The heads of various departments reported the relevant situation to Zhao Hongxing.

Wang Tu, Academician Ma, Li Zhongting, Wang Guanghai and others also came to the general control room.

"Red Star, it seems that all departments are ready." Li Zhongting sat directly next to Zhao Hongxing and said.

After Zhao Hongxing approved a document, he stretched his waist and replied: "Yes, now I will wait for ten o'clock in the morning of the 15th." ”

Everyone sat down and whispered about the situation.

These days, they have been eating and living in the Bazhong base, and they are very busy with this launch plan, and the whole launch plan is divided into three times, the first time is at 10 o'clock in the morning of the 15th, the second time is at 12 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th, and the third time is at 14 o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th.

Such a high-density launch has put all departments of the Pakistan-China base to the test.

Tick tock...... The clock is approaching by the minute.

Nov. 15, 9:23 a.m.

The eyes of space agencies around the world are on the Pakistan-China base.

To the southeast of the Bazhong base, about 5 kilometers away, is the only town in the vicinity, and this is a town dedicated to serving the Bazhong base.

Since a few days ago, a large number of domestic and foreign media have entered here, but the 15-kilometer radius of the Bazhong base can only belong to the red alert area, and reporters can only set up telescopes to observe the Bazhong base on a sightseeing platform in the space service town.

You can enter the Bazhong base for interviews, but as far as the two national news and Dongdao Daily are concerned, other newspapers are not qualified to enter.

Similarly, Dongdao Daily also has to conduct a panda live broadcast, after all, they are all subsidiaries of Zhongxing Group, and cooperation is essential.

The Penguin Group, on the other hand, cooperates with National News to conduct live broadcasts around the world.

As the time approaches, more and more netizens turn on their computers, TVs or mobile phone bracelets, looking forward to the launch plan of the Pakistan-China base.

Bazhong base, inside the general control room.

Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others are all inside, and they are all a little nervous at this moment, this is a project of hundreds of billions, and the first shot must not go wrong.

9:58

"All departments are in place." Zhao Hongxing said solemnly.

"The power supply system is working fine."

"The weather is in line with the launch conditions."

"Bird repellent ultrasound system activated."

"Everything is fine with satellite surveillance."

“……”

The various departments replied with serious expressions.

"Ready, enter the countdown to launch." Zhao Hongxing shouted loudly.

[Countdown starts: 20...... 15…… 10…… 6…… 3、2、1]

[Magnetic Vacuum Tube Excitation...... Launch]

In an instant, the entire magnetic vacuum cable was excited by electromagnetism, and a magnetic vacuum pipe with a radius of 8 meters penetrated the heavens and the earth in an instant.

As the launch button is pressed, the superconducting guide of the mass projector and the superconducting guide of the rigid vacuum pipe are instantly energized, and the powerful Lorentz force fills the mass projector.

In the monitoring screen of the general control room, through the strong anti-electromagnetic camera, everyone is looking at the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft.

Moved.

With the blessing of the powerful Lorentz force, the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft, like a wild horse, rushed out of the mass projector with lightning speed, and then with the further blessing of the magnetic vacuum pipeline, the speed became faster and faster.

Kiss!

The Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft pierced the top membrane of the magnetic vacuum pipe and soared to 90,000 miles.

The spaceship that broke through the speed of sound rubbed violently against the thin air in the sky, and the scream in an instant resounded at the top of the clouds.

With an exit speed of 15 kilometers per second, it took only 9 seconds to reach 120 kilometers in low-earth orbit.

The autopilot system was immediately activated, and the auxiliary engine immediately changed direction in preparation for entering the 160-kilometer orbit.

16 seconds.

The orbit correction was completed, and the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft successfully entered the predetermined orbit.

"It worked."

Bang Bang Bang ...... Everyone cheered.

"Don't let your guard down, the monitoring department and the remote control department continue." Zhao Hongxing shouted loudly with a smile.

"Yes." The remote control department and the monitoring department are excited to return to the channel.

After successfully entering orbit, the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft began to orbit the Blue Star.

The ground control room, on the other hand, is remotely controlled to slow it down and correct its track.

After more than half an hour, the spacecraft finally reduced its speed to within the range set by the Space Development Board.

At this time, the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft was 160 kilometers above Bazhong City, operating synchronously with Bazhong City, although this would increase the fuel consumption of the spacecraft by 40~60%.

But this is a stopgap measure, and once the station is built, they will continue to ascend until the station is located in low-Earth orbit at 450 kilometers.

When the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft reached the designated position, the ground control room immediately activated the space operation robot.

I saw that one of the six sides of the spacecraft was the hatch, which automatically stretched out about 5 meters outward.

Under the operation of the ground control room, the space operation robot takes out the spare parts of the space station module 1 from the cargo compartment.

Assembled in space near the hatch, these robots, designed for outer space operations, wield eight robotic arms like octopuses.

They were assembled very quickly and with great precision, and with the help of gel laser welding, the first capsule was assembled in no time.

Immediately after that, they carried out the installation of solar film plates on the basis of the space station module 1.

"Bureau Zhao, the No. 1 module of the space station has been built and can be activated." The head of the remote control department reported.

"Then activate Cabin 1." Zhao Hongxing nodded and ordered.

There are three specially built 6G communication airships over Bazhong City, and the ground control room uses these three 6G airships as relay stations to send activation instructions to the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft.
