Although Tianyi did not make a big deal about the upcoming launch of the 6G communication network satellite, the news quickly attracted great attention around the world.

According to relevant news, Tianyi is about to launch a medium-range satellite, which is commonly known as "polar orbit", which is up to 20,000-22,000 kilometers above the ground.

Such a height is a great challenge for the whole world, and failure is commonplace.

In addition, according to people familiar with the matter, the Tianyi satellite will not only enter the polar orbit, but also complete the task of recovering the rocket.

It's not just a technical issue, it's a dream.

The Tianyi Satellite Launch Center takes less than three months from construction to launch, while the time span from construction to launch of ordinary medium-range satellites usually reaches more than three years.

3 months, what do you think is a "monkey in the sky"?

Stuart Wyatt, a senior NASA official, said in an interview with Businessweek: "I think it's just a prank. Although they are a very strong company, these are two different things. ”

Johnny Dickens, chief engineer at the European Space Agency (ESA), said: "It's a very difficult thing to do, and I think they [Tianyi Group] should be more cautious." ”

Eric Robbins, an ordinary official of the Australian Aviation Authority, complained wildly on Facebook;

Then he posted a photo of his Rottweiler dog at home, and wrote at the bottom: If the Tianyi satellite can successfully enter the polar orbit, I am willing to eat the poop of the little radish head.

In addition, countries such as Riben, India, Brazil, Canada and other countries unanimously expressed their disfavor and believed that Tianyi should be more cautious.

He even called the New Zealand government in the hope that the relevant authorities would stop the farce.

In response, the New Zealand government replied that Tianyi Group has the ability and qualifications to launch satellites independently, and they are launching private satellites, and the government has no right to interfere without a valid reason.

......

On October 6th, the eyes of the world were on New Zealand.

The quarantine area outside the satellite launch center was even more crowded, and countless New Zealanders who received the news came to watch.

The three sisters of the Hu family also came, but they still didn't know that the big boss behind the satellite launch center was Han Yi, and they just came to visit.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, at the satellite launch site, countless robot engineers are doing their final checks;

At 7:30, the robot began to evacuate.

In the satellite control command room, countless people were watching at this time.

Han Yi looked at the virtual big screen with his hands and arms, his face was unwavering.

On the big screen, a huge milky white rocket plunged straight into the sky, shining in the sun.

In four years, from the first reorganization of the mobile phone to earn 60 yuan, to now the independent launch of satellites, the speed is not fast.

But this is only relative to ordinary people, but it is very slow for him, very slow.

Because every step he took before, he had to see how the outside world reacted to it, which caused him to waste too much time.

From this moment on, it can be regarded as truly entering the fast lane.

Old cool brother Fred came over and put his hand around his shoulder, "Hey, there's nothing to be nervous about, it's like watching a fireworks show." ”

"I'm not nervous. Han Yi shook his head and said with a hint of a smile.

"That's for the best. ”

Fred put down his hand and said, "I forgot to tell you last night, last week they discovered an abundant submarine oil field 1,200 nautical miles south of the André Islands;

But you know, non-destructive solar cells have a very big impact on the oil market, and as your technology matures, the impact will be even more dramatic;

Global oil prices continued to fall last month, and OPEC has planned to cut crude oil supply, I don't know if you ......"

Han Yi put his backhand around Fred and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the price of solar cars is destined to make it difficult for it to completely replace fuel in the short term;

In addition, although the price continues to fall, our mining cost is lower, since there is money to be made, why don't I do it?"

When the old cool brother heard what he said, he immediately laughed, "That's good......"

......

At 7:45, a quarter of an hour before launch.

New Zealand's Minister of Home Affairs, Joseph Shaw, and the Director General of the Aviation Authority, Rex David, arrived.

Han Yi and Lu Menglin personally greeted them.

After a brief greeting, the two sides walked briskly towards the command center.

On the way, Han Yi answered some basic questions, such as some technical parameters of the rocket.

"Tianyi-1 has a total length of 65 meters, a length-to-diameter ratio of more than 18, a weight of 499.054 tons, and carries 8 medium-range communication network satellites;

It uses solid-fuel and full-thrust DMO engines independently developed by our company, and the take-off thrust will reach 18,100 kN...... It is expected to arrive at the scheduled track in 7 hours and 43 minutes. ”

Minister Joseph nodded his head in response.

He is very clear about the power effect of the Tianyi aircraft, as a business aircraft, the peak speed of monitoring is as high as 3277 kilometers per hour. If he hadn't seen the data with his own eyes, he would have thought it was fake!

"You really are a great company...... "Joseph expressed his admiration and made some official comments on it.

Han Yi didn't take it seriously.

Although the other party is carrying the position of minister, he is actually a "wage earner", so there is no need to take his words too seriously.

At this moment, the sound of the radio sounded in the satellite launch center, "Five minutes to prepare~ All unrelated personnel please leave the launch site as soon as possible, and the security personnel will make a final investigation......"

Outside the satellite launch site, the New Zealanders who came to watch held up camera equipment with excitement on their faces.

In the monitoring room, everyone was also nervously looking at the big screen.

The "Spaceflight" employees who came to help comforted Tianyi's "nervous and expressionless" robot employees, "Hey, it's not a big deal, take it easy......"

"One minute to prepare~"

In the easternmost area of the launch site, various high-tech tracking and measuring equipment were turned on, and recording equipment such as high-speed cameras and tape recorders were activated.

Although this data is not useful, it is invaluable information for space companies in small countries.

If the launch is successful, some people are willing to pay a lot of money to buy it.

"Countdown starts: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6......"

"Ignition ......"

"Poof—"

Despite the distance of 3 km, a slight tremor was clearly felt.

On the big screen, the full-thrust rocket jet emits a scorching flame, spraying on the flame shield on the tall launch frame.

"Radar is working ...... fine"

"Tianyi No. 1 is operating normally......"

"Initial Rate: 1.5/s......"

"7.5/s, about to reach the first cosmic velocity ......"

"11.0/s, about to reach the second cosmic velocity ......"

At this moment, the satellite launch center and countless people around the world are watching.

After the initial acceleration, the full-thrust rocket heads towards the blue sky.

In the visiting area of the satellite launch center, many people who saw the satellite launch for the first time couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wow...... It's so cool......"

"Yes, I heard that it is a full-thrust rocket, and all the components are all developed by Tianyi himself, which is really amazing. ”

"I can't wait to see what kind of speed the satellite network is now......"

The three sisters of the Hu family in the crowd also looked up at the sky with shocked expressions.

While the audience in the tour area was talking, the rocket began to fly in a parabolic shape.

In the monitoring command room, Chief Engineer Surier said expressionlessly: "The first-stage rocket is ready to separate and recover ......"

Rex David, who was standing next to Han Yi, looked at the big screen and his eyes were momentary.

The technical requirements for rocket recovery are very high. If it can be successfully recovered, then Tianyi will become one of the few satellite launch companies with ultra-high level in the world;

When the time comes, let alone New Zealand, many countries will come to the door.

Why? Because it means that the cost of launching will plummet. This will be a great temptation for countries that are underfunded.

Just as Cress-Davy's mind was spinning, the voice of the staff rang in his ears.

"The first-stage rocket was successfully separated and successfully received the command ......"

"Rocket azimuth latitude and longitude ......"

With the sound of a report, an orange-red point of light in the surveillance screen is rapidly descending towards the atmosphere.

"100 km...... 50 km ...... 10 km ...... 5 km ......"

"Turn on the wings and adjust the rocket orientation ......"

Soon, the first-stage rocket was already visible in the high-definition picture.

A lot of people are starting to get nervous.

Recovery failure is not a big deal, as long as the rocket can be successfully launched into the sky.

But those who are looking forward to "death together" obviously don't think so, and the failure of the Tianyi recovery rocket can make them orgasm in an instant.

......

Three minutes later, under the watchful eye, the first-stage rocket slowly landed in the designated area of the east field area of the satellite launch center!

In the command room, Minister of the Interior Joseph Shaw patted Han Yi on the shoulder vigorously to congratulate him;

And the audience who saw this scene in the visiting area was also a burst of "popping......

It's applause......
