On January 15, Xinghuo Technology prepared to officially deploy the space laboratory.

After three months of preparation, Xinghuo Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd., together with the scientific research center, has manufactured a laboratory and a space factory for space scientific research.

Xinghuo Aerospace is also improving the pipeline of mass projectors at the same time.

Previously, in order to ensure the success rate of space launches, the pipes of mass projectors were narrow, only slightly larger than standard train tunnels.

The cargo box of the mass projector is also a long and narrow one.

It's no problem to launch some small satellites in this way, but it's simply impossible to launch a huge space lab.

The mass projector has requirements for the load of the container, but no requirement for the volume of the container.

In the past, the narrow and long cargo box was only used to facilitate forging into a streamlined type, reduce atmospheric resistance, enhance the speed and air time of the cargo box, and increase the capture success rate of gravitational traction technology.

Xinghuo Aerospace has now mastered the mass projector in order to better launch the space laboratory and prepare for the space station program in Huaxia.

Spark Aerospace has built a new mass projector pipeline and improved the cargo box so that it can be used for space labs.

Only the pipeline needs to be modified, the core components of the mass projector do not need to be changed, and different pipelines share a set of core equipment.

This can save hundreds of billions of funds, even if it is the gold-absorbing ability of Xinghuo Technology, it cannot afford the financial pressure of building the second mass projector.

Zhou Yu came to the Alxa Space Launch Center again, and he saw the new version of the mass projector cargo box.

It's a huge device, it's a standard cylinder.

This cylinder is 50 meters high and has a diameter of 28 meters on the bottom circle.

The mass projector crate is designed to be cylindrical because the space lab it hosts is a cylinder-like shape, and the standard deviation of the space station is a similar shape.

Zhou Yu looked at the space launch center, where there were nine cylindrical mass projector cargo boxes.

The total value of these cargo boxes is more than 50 billion yuan, and the aerospace industry is really a big money-burner, and ordinary enterprises cannot afford to play the aerospace industry at all.

The aerospace industry is a field of high investment and high returns, and in the past, Xinghuo Technology could only rely on the strong capital flow obtained from the ore mined from the seabed to develop the aerospace industry.

Now the profits of Xinghuo Aerospace's external business can already maintain the operating costs of the space launch center.

Lu Jinming, general manager of Xinghuo Aerospace Company, came to Zhou Yu's side and reported: "Mr. Zhou, we have completed the preparation and are ready to start deploying the space laboratory.

We put the spacelab into a designated orbit through a mass projector crate.

We have built complementary space laboratories to verify the assembly technology of the various modules of the space station.

When the space laboratory enters the predetermined orbit, we will hand over the management authority of the space laboratory to the relevant scientists of the Xinghuo Scientific Research Center. ”

"Can the space lab be successfully deployed? The spacelab is more than just a space station technology that is being validated in advance.

It is very expensive to build, and if it fails once or twice, our company needs to rely on bank loans to survive. Zhou Yu asked solemnly.

He's not kidding, that's what he really thinks.

The cost of each space laboratory is nearly 10 billion yuan, and if it really fails, it will be a major blow to Xinghuo Technology.

It is not a satellite worth hundreds of millions of yuan, a space laboratory with a total value of more than 200 billion yuan, and Xinghuo Technology really can't afford to lose.

Lu Jinming immediately assured: "We carried out many simulations and calculations through quantum computers, taking into account every detail of the space launch mission.

Test virtually almost every question you can think of right now.

I am 100% sure that the success rate of the space mission will be guaranteed.

Unless it's a catastrophic event like a sudden solar wind or cosmic rays, there's really no way around it.

This mission will not fail because of the operational errors of our personnel. ”

"As long as you have confidence, the astronauts of China must have this bearing. I can only wish you success in starting the launch of the space lab. Zhou Yu commanded with a smile.

At the same time, he informed the scientists of the Xinghuo Scientific Research Center that they were ready to take over the space laboratory and carry out experiments according to the projects discussed and completed in the early stage.

Engineers at the Alxa Space Launch Center began to activate the mass projector, and the cargo box loaded with the space laboratory was launched to the designated location.

"Space Lab 1 was successfully deployed, and Space Lab Cargo Box 2 was launched."

"Space Lab 2 is preparing to dock with Lab 1."

Zhou Yu looked at the large screen of the Alxa Space Launch Center, which showed the docking process of the No. 1 Space Laboratory and the No. 2 Space Laboratory.

The docking between the two space laboratories now has a mature automatic docking technology.

There is no need for ground personnel to control at all, and the docking can be successful with only the intelligent system.

However, in order to verify their docking technology, Xinghuo Aerospace Company used cargo box assisted docking to complete the docking between space laboratories.

Spacelab 1 is parked in space, keeping its posture unchanged.

When the Mass Projector Cargo Box releases SpaceLab 2, it is connected to SpaceLab 2 via a robotic arm.

This robotic arm has a communication function, and the ground command center can indirectly control the No. 2 space laboratory through the cargo box.

In order to ensure the safety of the equipment inside the space laboratory, most of the equipment inside the space laboratory is dormant when it is not deployed in place, including the communication equipment with the ground.

This robotic arm can also fine-tune the attitude of the No. 2 space lab to ensure the successful docking of the two space labs.

Two space labs sense each other's relative positions through sensors.

The cargo box also observes the relative position of the two space laboratories through the equipment.

Under the coordination of the engineers of the ground control center, the docking of the two space laboratories was carried out in accordance with standard procedures.

"Laboratory No. 1 and Laboratory No. 2 have been successfully docked, the formation of a nuclear power plant has been completed, and the transfer authority is in progress."

The Alxa Space Launch Center conducts the launch of nine cargo boxes every night.

They spent three days launching 25 space labs.

These space laboratories consist of a nuclear power factory, a space materials laboratory, a space physics laboratory, a space biology laboratory, and a space eye telescope.

The space laboratory deployment plan was 100% completed, and there were no errors in the middle, which shows the degree of control of Xinghuo Space Company over the space launch mission.

Scientists of Xinghuo Science and Technology Research Center carry out scientific research through the method of remote control of the space laboratory.

There is not a single scientist in the space laboratory, and all the instruments are automatic except for the automatic control function.

The space lab also deploys advanced intelligent robots, and scientists replace themselves with intelligent robots to carry out scientific research tasks in the space laboratory.

After Zhou Yu commended the engineers of the Alxa Space Launch Center, he returned to Xinghuo Technology.

As soon as he returned to the company, Zhou Yu received a report from Wang Xiaoxiao that the space biology laboratory had achieved significant results.
