Chapter 55: It takes courage to bow your head
As a front-line researcher at an aerospace science and engineering institute, staying up late is already a common occurrence in Suzhou Province, and the biggest imprint left on him by work is hair loss caused by long-term irregular work and rest.
At the age of 30, there are already some places to support the central government's posture.
At this time, he looked at the table, after two days of sleepless fighting, he already had some prototype design plans, and the coolness in his heart was unbelievably cold:
The original requirement of June 7, the satellite research plan that can be put into orbit on the moon's polar orbit has been changed again. Within 15 days, they need to add a set of long-light remote sensing equipment to the existing transit communication satellite prepared for Chang'e-5, and increase the endurance time in orbit by 20%.
For space satellites, no matter what the function, it is a highly integrated module, and the normal function replacement does not need to be greatly changed, but if the orbit time needs to be adjusted, it will be troublesome.
As we all know, if a spacecraft in space needs to move, there is no other way than to jet the engine, but the change of the engine will inevitably affect the overall layout of the satellite. It's not like a four-wheeled car on Earth, where sitting in the front or being a person in the back will not have any impact on the normal operation of the vehicle.
According to the plan, if the endurance is increased by 20%, then it is necessary to work on the overall design of the satellite, such as the overall center of gravity shift, the efficiency of components, the balance transfer of fuel, and so on.
It's not like modding a bike part, just remove it and put it on and tighten it tightly with screws. It's a big deal, and if something goes wrong, find a place to change it.
The slightest problem with this thing is the loss of thousands of dollars. And there's no place to fix it.
"Go to NMD, change? How to change? Just TM earns this little money, and if you can't change it, you will deduct your salary, X" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, looking at the thick report on the table, like a reminder.
After complaining a few words fiercely, Su Xing looked at the new change requirements, and suddenly had an idea, remembering the "Asia No. 3" communication satellite launched by Lao Maozi in 99.
"That's right, didn't the ground telemetry satellite launched a few days ago just meet the design requirements this time? Why not work on that? He muttered to himself as he put down the coffee in his hand. Hurriedly ran to the data center to find the track change record of Asia No. 3.
。。。。。。
Since the second observation of the lunar anomaly, Ouyang Baiyuan's sleep quality has plummeted, and at the age of 82, it is always annoying for him to suffer from insomnia, but the two unusual events in the dark seem to show him something, which makes him uneasy.
"I don't know if the science and industry can eat this thing, the time is still too short" Old man Ouyang held the teacup, leaned on the wide office chair, and the wrinkles raised at the corners of his eyes gathered together, making the calm gaze in the vicissitudes of life more condensed.
As a world-renowned astrophychemist and geochemist. Mr. Ouyang can be regarded as the chief scientist of China's lunar exploration project from beginning to end, and guided the formulation of the short-term goals and long-term plans for China's lunar exploration, and designed the scientific objectives and payload configuration of the first lunar exploration in China, as well as the plans and scientific objectives of the second and third phases of lunar exploration.
At this moment, the energetic "Father of Chang'e" finally sat up from the soft chair, grabbed the internal phone and called for help to enter the office.
"Ah Guang, you go and prepare, let's go to science and engineering in the afternoon" Ouyang Baiyuan put the teacup on the table and said to the help who entered the door.
"Huh? Is there anything you have that you can't leave to me? Let's go to science and engineering here, the journey is not in, can you bear this body? The young man named Ah Guang looked at the old man in front of him with admiration, and the kind of admiration from the bottom of his heart could not be disguised.
"No, I don't have time, I don't want to take a look, I'm always not at ease." The persistence revealed in the deep eyes made Ah Guang's heart flutter.
"However, you are old, and you are not as young as a young person, you don't pay attention to your body, and our work is in trouble, who will be the backbone?" Ah Guang was straightforward and said what was in his heart.
"You, aren't you usually quite conscious, why are you narrow-minded on this issue?" Ouyang Baiyuan stood up, searched for the bookshelf behind him, and after a while, he found a manual, took it out and put it on the table. Ah Guang vaguely recognized that this was a handwritten note summarizing the old man's perennial work.
"When we build satellites, it's like building atomic bombs, didn't Comrade Xiaoping say that without two bombs and one satellite, we would not have the status of a great power." Ouyang Baiyuan flipped through his notes and groped for a black and white photo from it, which was a group photo that had been rubbed and somewhat white.
"In this generation, there are a few people who have cared about their bones. What is the backbone of the main backbone is not the backbone of the backbone, fall down one, and the people behind will fill it in, if there is less ruthlessness, we can't develop. ”
"I know this, you often say that launching satellites is like engaging in an arms race, whoever sends more and sends it well, whoever has a hard waist, but like you, who has worked hard for most of his life, do you still plan to continue to struggle? No matter how difficult it is, you can't have no time to rest at all, and stay here every day. ”
"Rest? How do you have the heart to rest? The old man rubbed the photo with his finger and said slowly, "A few years ago, we didn't have the strength, and only the people of the Goose Country and the United States could engage in manned spaceflight in the world." At that time, countries with a little space technology and some economic strength wanted to get involved in manned spaceflight.
Including us.
However, I couldn't do it, so I could only beg to cooperate with them, contribute money, and contribute, just like that, they all loved to ignore it. You don't know that those years have been really hard. Those who build missiles are better than those who sell eggs. ”
Ouyang Baiyuan stuffed the photos back into the manual and put them together.
"Now, if you look at those countries that have borrowed Russian and Minian spacecraft to send their own astronauts into space, several of them have developed their own manned space technology.
We have emphasized how many years of science and technology power, innovation to realize the dream. If I don't work hard, if you don't work hard, who will do it? How to strengthen the country? How do you make your dreams come true? ”
The old man's words were sonorous and powerful, especially these few words, which made Ah Guang say with a burst of shame, and he couldn't help but lower his head, as if he was listening to a teaching.
"Grumbling, don't you mean you, what are you looking down?" Ouyang Baiyuan looked at Ah Guang's expression and smiled. Kindly said:
"Don't keep bowing your head, in 94, when the Mi Guoyan blocked us outside the door of the International Space Station, we didn't bow our heads, what are you bowing here. Raise your head, yes, you have to be confident. ”
The old man looked at Ah Guang who raised his head and smiled brightly.
