On April 18, Zhou Yu led the neutrino communication satellite related project personnel to Hainan Wenchang Aerospace Base by plane.

Two days ago, the neutrino communication satellite was transported to Jintian Port through a large transport truck, loaded onto a ship and transported to the Wenchang Space Base in Hainan, where it can be reached today.

The neutrino communication satellites are too large to be transported by train, which is why Xinghuo Technology chose the Wenchang Space Base in Hainan instead of other space launch centers.

Zhou Yu and the neutrino communication satellite must arrive in advance, and the engineers of the Wenchang Aerospace Base in Hainan must also carry out pre-launch preparations and equipment maintenance.

A young man about 35 years old in work clothes walked over to Zhou Yu and his party.

After a few warm greetings with Zhou Yu, he introduced himself: "My name is Li Dongming, and I am in charge of your Spark Technology project."

"Hello Li Gong, thank you for the support of Hainan Wenchang Aerospace Base." Zhou Yu shook his hand politely.

He didn't underestimate this person at all because of Li Dongming's age.

Huaxia has a very strong talent pool, and there is never a shortage of geniuses, especially Huaxia likes to cultivate talented young people.

The people who are active in the front lines of the major departments are generally relatively young people, who already have sufficient knowledge and experience, and can also accept advanced technology, which is not inferior to the older and more experienced people in other countries.

In the fields of scientific research, technology, and engineering, it has always been based on the level of speaking, rather than on qualifications.

Zhou Yu, under the guidance of Li Dongming, walked towards the Wenchang Aerospace Base in Hainan.

On the way, he praised and said: "The rocket of Hainan Wenchang Space Base is very advanced, and this should be a technological breakthrough in the carrier rocket of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group."

Li Dongming said with a smile: "It is true, the Long March 10B rocket has been put into use for the first time, it uses a more advanced liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen engine, and the payload is larger and stronger.

Only the Long March 10B rocket can carry your neutrino communications satellite.

When we were considering which satellite to launch to verify this rocket, it happened that your neutrino communication satellite, both in terms of mass and size, was very suitable for the delivery needs of the Long March 10B rocket, so we chose to cooperate with you. ”

After Zhou Yu learned about the specific situation, he began to visit the Wenchang Aerospace Base in Hainan, which is the latest of the four major space launch centers in China.

It is located in the southern part of China, closer to the equator, and it can use the power brought by the rotation of the earth itself to make it easier for the launch vehicle to break through the first cosmic speed and save energy.

In this way, the launch vehicle can carry a little more payload, and every gram of payload in the space field is very precious.

The Wenchang Space Base in Hainan is located on the seashore and can transport launch vehicles and satellites by ship.

It is also the only space base that can launch large launch vehicles and satellites.

Engineers at the Wenchang Space Base in Hainan received the neutrino communication satellite, and they began to test the satellite and assemble it with the launch vehicle.

In addition to visiting the Wenchang Aerospace Base in Hainan, Zhou Yu also has his own work here, that is, to sign relevant contracts.

Xinghuo Technology purchased satellite launch insurance from the insurance company, and after evaluation, the policy was as high as 200 million yuan. If the launch fails, the insurance company will compensate Xinghuo Technology for losses of more than 20 billion.

The insurance company is an enterprise related to the Hainan Wenchang Space Base, and it can be seen from the price of this policy that the Hainan Wenchang Space Base has confidence in the satellite launch.

Xinghuo Technology also signed a contract with Hainan Wenchang Space Base, and the launch of the neutrino communication satellite is a commercial launch, and the cost of sending the neutrino communication satellite into the predetermined orbit is as high as 800 million yuan.

The cost of neutrino communication satellites is 20.2 billion yuan, and the largest cost is 20 billion yuan for particle batteries.

The entire neutrino communication satellite particle battery is the most expensive, and Liu Jing is still a little reluctant to install a parachute for the neutrino communication satellite.

It is used to recycle particle batteries when the critical point of neutrino satellite lifetime is reached.

Time passed quickly, and the engineers of the Wenchang Aerospace Base in Hainan meticulously tested the situation of the launch vehicle.

On April 20, at 7:45 a.m., an hour before the launch of the launch vehicle, the tower carrying the launch vehicle, which held the launch vehicle and the satellite tightly, slowly drove along the orbit from the factory to the launch pad.

Only the Wenchang Space Base in Hainan has such advanced means of translating the launch vehicle, so that the carrier rocket can walk to the launch pad in the best state.

At 8:40 a.m., there were 5 minutes left before the launch of the launch vehicle.

Zhou Yu held the telescope and stood quite far away from the launch site and looked at the Long March 10B carrier rocket.

The chubby launch vehicle stands on the launch tower, and inside its topmost fairing is a neutrino communications satellite.

The time is approaching the launch window of the launch vehicle, all personnel have been evacuated, and the launch tower is slowly opening to no longer support the launch vehicle.

At the base control center, Li Dongming looked at the data of the Long March 10B carrier rocket and confirmed that the launch project was carried out normally.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, ignition."

Li Dongming pressed the start button for the launch of the launch vehicle.

The LM-10B launch vehicle's liquid oxygen and hydrogen engine began to ignite, and it spewed out a huge tongue of fire, rapidly vaporizing the water in the tank under the launch vehicle, and a mushroom cloud composed of water vapor rose.

At the same time, the powerful recoil generated by the engine propelled the nearly 100-ton launch vehicle into the air.

Zhou Yu saw the launch vehicle rise rapidly, and soon turned into a small dot and disappeared from sight.

The control center of the Wenchang Space Base in Hainan constantly reported the situation of the launch vehicle.

"Hainan radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

"Hainan infrared radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

"Qingdao radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

"The booster is detached, and the Long March 10B carrier rocket is flying normally."

……

"The Yuanwang 5 radar has captured the Long March 10B launch vehicle, the radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

The Long March 10B carrier rocket has flown out of the radar range of Wenchang, Hainan, and the radar on Yuanwang 5 has taken over control.

"The third stage of the Long March 10B launch vehicle was separated, the engine of the second stage of the launch vehicle was successfully ignited, and the flight attitude was normal."

"The fairing of the Long March 10B launch vehicle has been successfully separated."

The Long March 10B carrier rocket has flown out of the atmosphere, and it has passed the most difficult hurdle.

"For the Long March 10B launch vehicle, the second-stage launch vehicle was successfully separated, and the first-stage launch vehicle engine was successfully ignited."

The Long March 10B carrier rocket ignited the engine of the last stage of the launch vehicle and flew at high speed towards the established orbit at an altitude of 20,000 kilometers above the ground.

"The Long March 10B carrier rocket arrived at the designated position, and the satellite and rocket were successfully separated."

The people in the control hall immediately became excited, and at the same time kept chanting.

"The Long March 10B carrier rocket was successfully launched, and we have another high-efficiency carrier rocket in Huaxia."

Zhou Yu smiled easily when he heard that the neutrino communication satellite had entered the scheduled orbit.

Zhou Yu is very confident in the neutrino communication satellite developed by Xinghuo Science and Technology scientists, and as long as it can reach the predetermined orbit correctly, it will be able to operate successfully.
