Chapter 320: Rocket Hovering Test

Subsequently, the national prefix unit placed an order for 20 units each.

A larger-scale test installation is intended.

If the acceptance passes.

A new member of the Protector Artifact family will be added.

At that time, this new member with more thrust will become the most important support of the country.

……

October.

Dai Lan finished her confinement.

Su Han returned to the company's headquarters again.

At this time, the Brontosaurus L1 and the hovering rocket were installed together.

The rocket was eventually named: the Little Dragonfly X1 rocket.

Then came the hover test schedule.

Because the schedule has to pick a day.

It has been carefully chosen.

A hover test was finally scheduled for October 28.

But before that, you need to check carefully.

Try to make sure that there are no problems.

The test should be applied to the higher unit.

Therefore, the fact that Haohan Company was going to carry out a rocket hovering test quickly spread in relevant domestic units.

The elders of various units called Su Han one after another to come and see the hovering test.

Su Han did not refuse.

It was an important day for him.

It is also necessary to have more people to witness on the spot.

……

The construction of the second phase of the iron-chromium flow battery plant was completed.

The annual output of iron-chromium flow batteries is 25 tons.

Although the production capacity has increased.

But it was also sold out in an instant.

It is rumored that the 1GWh peak-shifting energy storage power station can regulate 2 billion kWh of electricity per year.

Although it is only a rumor.

But no one is sure whether it is true or not.

Naturally, I want to give it a try.

If it's true.

This will make a great contribution to alleviating the power pressure of various countries and reducing curtailment.

……

October 28th.

Finally, it was time for the testing of the Little Dragonfly X1 rocket.

Experts in the field of aerospace from all over the country also gathered together.

All want to see if Haohan can complete the test of the hovering rocket.

Because this is an unprecedented feat for the Chinese country and even for all mankind.

Su Han was in a very good mood.

Although testing the hovering rocket was his scheduled plan.

But plans are not changing as fast as they are.

Rocket launches are not a trivial matter.

It's normal to say that it's procrastinating for a few years.

Your own team will be able to complete all the preparations within the scheduled schedule.

I have to say that it is already a miracle.

However, when the elders in the national aerospace field saw the little dragonfly X1 body, they were also shocked.

Although the small dragonfly X1 weighs only two hundred tons.

It weighs only one-third of the weight of the Long March-2.

However, its slenderness is not bad with that of the Long March-2 rocket.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to complete the recovery of such a slender rocket.

In fact, the Federation of Rice has done relevant experiments on rocket recovery.

And it has been recycled.

It's just that it was just a test machine at that time.

The altitude of the flight is low.

Not even the shape can be called a rocket.

Stubby aside, it's more like a triangular pyramid.

But the small dragonfly X1 is slender and is a real rocket size.

A rocket of this size wants to complete the recovery.

Attitude control alone in the air is a very difficult thing.

Originally, these aerospace elders thought that Haohan Company's rocket hovering experiment this time.

It should also be the same as the Mi Federation to get a fat rocket test.

But now it seems that Su Han is not making a small fuss.

It's about playing for real.

……

Before the start of the test.

The elders in the aerospace field and Su Han also talked and laughed.

Of course, these elders admired Su Han.

Haohan has been established for less than two years.

The two main engines of the fire dragon H1 and H2 were completed one after another (the matter of the Brontosaurus L1 is not known to these people).

Now the test rocket has also been completed.

I have to say that Su Han's team efficiency is simply unimaginable.

This is something that cannot be imagined in the national prefix unit.

It seems that the efficiency of this private company is high.

At the very least, it should far exceed the efficiency of the system.

There is a desire to make such a big change within the system.

Just the layers of approval, there are no ten or eight years.

After all, for people in the system, it is still normal to seek no merit but no fault.

Testing such a radical idea as a recyclable rocket is an almost impossible task within the system.

However, if Su Han can succeed this time, it will usher in a new era of rocket launches.

……

The test is nearing the start of the test.

And they all stopped talking.

It's all about the big screen.

The test was still presided over by Pan Chilai himself.

As the countdown ends...... The tail of the little dragonfly X1 spewed out a stream of heat, sweeping up billowing white smoke.

The little dragonfly X1 is also slowly rising, and it is getting taller and taller.

Originally, the elders present thought that the little Dragonfly X1 would hover at a relatively low height.

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

But who knew that the little dragonfly X1 would rise higher and higher.

No way!

Could it be that this is a launch test?

Just when the little dragonfly X1 rose to about 500 meters, the speed gradually decreased.

However, it did not go down.

Instead, hovering there motionless.

This image made everyone present feel a little incredible.

The first hovering test reached 500 meters.

It's also awesome.

The Little Dragonfly X1 rocket hovered at an altitude of 500 meters for almost a minute.

Just when everyone was a little confused and didn't understand why they hadn't started to land yet...... The nozzle of the rocket's engine suddenly tilted, and the rocket actually moved laterally.

The heads of the units who saw this scene all looked incredulous.

Although domestic rocket engine nozzles can also be adjusted and corrected.

However, the general correction angle is relatively small, and can only be adjusted slightly.

Because the rocket is an elongated structure.

If you don't adjust it properly, you will lose your center of gravity and crash on the spot.

But the little dragonfly X1 has adjusted too much!

The tilt angle of the little dragonfly X1 is scary.

But looking at the exaggeration is not losing the center of gravity.

In fact, the Dragonfly M1 rocket can complete such a difficult action.

This is inseparable from Shenlong's algorithm control.

And the algorithm was developed by Su Han and Shenlong together.

Because in Su Han's plan, the control of the rocket was completely handed over to Shenlong.

Because only in this way can we truly realize the process of automatic launch, automatic control and automatic recovery.

And Su Han will not only recover the first-stage rocket in the future.

He's also going to recover the second stage rocket.

The recovery of the second-stage rocket will be much more difficult than that of the first-stage rocket.

Therefore, the control of the rocket can only be completed by Shenlong, and now the flight trajectory of the little dragonfly X1 is actually Shenlong doing big data collection and analysis.

The little dragonfly M1 flew laterally, and it could have four or five hundred meters before it was corrected again and continued to hover at high altitude.

The heads of the various units were already shocked and speechless.

The difficulty of a rocket with an elongated body to achieve hovering and redirection recovery is absolutely unimaginable.

Because over time the fuel inside the rocket is consumed.

Then the weight of the rocket itself is also changing dynamically.
