Chapter 51: Fireworks
Texas, Aramco.
With the blessing of banknote ability, specaX successfully fulfilled Lao Ma's expectations and produced a Falcon 9 rocket in one month.
It has been less than 28 days since the last rocket bombing, and the Falcon 9 in December once again took to the skies with Ma Yilong's expectations.
Three minutes later, the Falcon 9, which was only 10 meters away from landing, suddenly convulsed and flew quickly towards a stack of warehouses next to the landing site, destroying millions of dollars worth of spare parts inside.
The Aramco GIs at the air base were not surprised by this, and a bunch of ground crews also made bets that the gambling funds were being distributed at the moment.
The old horse sat in his Truss sports car, cross-legged without any image, and his well-groomed hair was messed up.
In stark contrast to him, XAP (the English abbreviation of Xinyuan Aerospace Power) completed the first sea recovery experiment, although in the end it fell into the sea very wrongly, and the director was ready to move the camera, but it was still a success, wasn't it?
Now the Xinyuan-1 Yidexin class has become a "model worker", and it has been repeatedly launched five times in a row, which completely shows that the recovery technology has entered a mature stage.
What's even worse is that Abel has a huge trade order with Huaguo, even if it is only for Xinyuan, there are 8 billion US dollars.
However, the H1 and H2 space shuttles announced by Xinyuan made him a little confused, aren't they all outdated technologies? High cost and low security, Dragon spacecraft and starships are the future.
Although his future does not know when it will come......
But fortunately, after the success of Xinyuan No. 1B, the patience of the empty fork investors has also improved a lot, which is a trivial benefit for the laggards.
Lao Ma also tried to win over Xinyuan, and even heard that Lin Ju had studied in Ami and had friends with Ami, and tried to use this relationship to exchange capital, but the latter didn't understand economics at all, and he didn't let go of his equity like a farmer.
Later, a senior executive within the empty fork group privately contacted a Chinese technician, wanting him to break into Xinyuan to obtain some key technologies.
The old horse was very unhappy, but he did not stop it, but the result was very surprising.
The technician was successful in his application, and then he was never heard from again, cutting off all contact with them......
At the same time, in Xinyuan Aerospace, the system research institute apprentice +1, followed by C-level materials engineer +1.
The engineer who asked to join Xinyuan Aerospace as a returned Chinese was full of loopholes, but Xinyuan's personnel department didn't care at all, as long as he had the ability to pass it directly.
As long as you join the R&D department and sign a contract, you will be your own person for system certification.
The number of people who have joined Xinyuan with ghosts has reached seven or eight, but they have not returned.
As for the defection of employees who want to hook up with Xinyuan? Then these forces will find out that Xinyuan Aerospace and even the security department have joined the R&D department...... It fully illustrates Lin Ju's emphasis on talents.
In the general assembly hangar of Xinyuan Company, a dismantled Figure 154 was slowly pushed in.
Due to Crown Prince Hamand's righteous action, the Tu-154 that trained the astronauts lost its effect and was disassembled and sent to the Xinyuan factory.
It will play its last value as a transformation of Xinyuan's aerial test platform.
Figure 154 tail crane two engines, tail center one engine, can be dismantled one and installed on the self-developed aviation engine for experiments, the remaining two original engines have one can ensure safe landing.
Its airframe also has research value, allowing the institute to gain experience in actual aircraft design.
However, what awaits Figure 154 is a complete inspection, overhaul and modern electrical upgrade, and no new engine can be installed for testing.
But these will not be completed this year, because Xinyuan is about to go on vacation.
After all, except for the four system people, the rest of the people are all earthlings who can be determined, and it is not possible to take a holiday during the New Year.
And in order to celebrate the New Year, Xinyuan Aerospace also has its own program.
At this moment, the Qiongzhou space launch site is about to usher in its first and second launches.
Two rockets were erected at the four launch stations, one for Xinyuan-1B and one for Xinyuan-1C.
One of the two stages has been recovered 7 times, and the other has been recovered 4 times, both of which are out-and-out N-hand rockets.
Xinyuan No. 1B was painted in festive red, with the logo and words of Southern Automobile sprayed on one side, and the CS75 automatic luxury version promoted by Southern Automobile on the other side on the other side.
At the same time, it is also Lin Ju's car.
Lin Ju's car is still the broken Jetta that has been parked in the factory to eat ashes, and he usually takes the company's business car, Daben business car and A6, which is at the same level as the technical executives.
After settling a deal with Nanfang Motor, the other party gave away a CS75 with a special luxury interior, an automatic transmission SUV.
Perhaps out of expectations for domestic production, Lin Ju also accepted the boat, he was not very sensitive to the car, but felt that the car was very low-key and easy to travel.
You must know that he is also a big celebrity now, that is, short videos have not yet risen, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to be posted on the Internet in addition to being watched as a monkey.
Even if he wanted to eat food stalls, after a few attempts, he still compromised and let people take it, drive a domestic car of more than 100,000 yuan, and then wear a low-key place, if he doesn't show his face easily, it will be easier to hide his identity.
"Mr. Lin, you are far from worthy of being an aerospace company, I heard that your rocket is loaded with fireworks fuel, and it will be released on Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"Corporate culture......
In order to celebrate the end of the year, the engineers of the solid fuel department of Xinyuan Company specially referred to the fireworks recipe and frantically designed the 18-ton upper stage.
The Xinyuan-1 C-1 rocket, which belongs to Xinyuan, is not a second stage, but a giant fireworks can.
According to the engineers, even the tank is flammable, and after the explosion, it produces an ultra-bright flame due to the combustion of metal compounds.
The first stage to refuel will send the giant fireworks canister to an altitude of 5,000 meters, and then break away from itself to land.
The fireworks canister was detonated when it fell to 2,000 meters, producing enough fire to illuminate the ground at night.
Of course, this very violent and aesthetic plan cannot be passed in the launch site program, but the mission goal of the report is to send fuel canisters to low-earth orbit and make technical preparations for refueling in space.
You see, I failed to launch, and it makes sense that the fuel exploded in the air.
This matter belongs to Sima Zhao's heart, but the fuel is clean and at sea, so it was tacitly acquiesced after paying 5 million marine environmental protection fees.
And the ownership of this rocket of the Southern Automobile completely belongs to them, and the name is very simple, it is called the Southern Motor.
From Chen Jun's unstoppable smile, it can be seen that he must have received praise, and the big leaders will be present tomorrow to personally direct the launch.
Moreover, Nanfang Automobile also resold the rocket capacity at the expense of a university, so that the university satellite does not have to wait for next year's Long March 6, and the price is only some technical patent authorization.
In general, Southern Automobile successfully played the role of a dog intermediary and ate both ends, which can almost be said to be a waste of money.
However, Lin Ju doesn't care, just a little money, it is time to expand the private market.
On January 17, the Nanfang Automobile rocket was launched at 20 o'clock in the evening with the satellite of a university in the north.
The flame of the tail flame illuminated half of the sky, and because it was the first launch from the Qiongzhou launch site, a large number of local leaders, leaders of the Space Agency, and the team of Southern Automobile gathered together to watch the rocket launch.
At the same time, there are also many netizens and TV station teams.
Southern Automobile claims that the rocket was jointly developed by them, universities and Xinyuan, so everyone can believe it.
When the news came from the control center that the satellite had successfully entered a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit, Lin Ju also fooled the leaders of Southern Motors.
