"The Xinyuan-2 Yao-1 launch mission will be launched on May 26 at the No. 1 station of the Wenchang launch site in Qiongzhou."

On the morning of May 16, Xinyuan's official Weibo and the official website released news simultaneously.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of May 17, a convoy of two semi-trailer trailers set off from the former Xinyuan City Tractor Factory and now outside the Xinyuan City Logistics Development Zone.

The specifications of this escort are higher than the last time, because everyone knows that this one is a real rocket compared to half a month ago, and there must be no accidents.

Anyway, the passenger flow of Xinyuan Airport is not large, so most of the roads are directly closed and isolated to ensure the smooth progress of Xinyuan No. 2 transportation.

There is also one in the convoy that belongs to the Shuchuan Tourism Bureau.

They spent 10 million friendly prices to buy the painting rights of Xinyuan No. 2 Yaoyi, and painted the arrow body with bamboo and pandas that Shuchuan is not promoting at any time......

As a Shuchuan native who rode a panda to school every day when he was a child, Lin Ju couldn't figure out what was so good about this thing.

Xinyuan Airport has specially divided an area to ensure that the rocket will not be affected by other aspects when it is hoisted.

The Il-76 will fly once today and once tomorrow, sending the first and second stages to Qiongzhou, and as for the fairing, it can be disassembled and stuffed into the cargo hold by the way.

Lin Ju personally climbed onto the transport plane, this is Xinyuan's rocket to open a new era, and it must be guarded all the time to feel at ease.

At the same time, the Eighth Academy.

He Ruo answered the phone, and then announced something in the evening:

"The Xinyuan-2 Yao-1 rocket was launched on the 26th, and the Space Agency allowed each academy to send people to observe, who wants to go?"

He raised his hand.

"There are only twenty places, but you can bring your family!"

Still a piece of hands.

The same scene happened in the research institutes under the space agency, after all, it was China's first heavy rocket, or Xinyuan Aerospace, and the bigwigs of the space agency were invited.

Deng Lei's trio didn't go, they were going to step up their training now, but Li Wei and several members of the astronaut team agreed to the invitation.

At the same time, after the news was released, there were countless people who wanted to watch the rocket launch with many first places.

How many are there? On May 16 alone, Qiongzhou Airlines' ticket sales rose by 40,000.

In such a non-popular tourist season, Sanya Airlines seized the opportunity to decisively raise the ticket price to the tourist season, and at the same time required the flight attendants to sell special products from handicrafts to aerospace peripherals.

As of May 25, more than 140,000 tourists had arrived in Wenchang to watch the launch.

Aerospace science and technology, science and industry also came a lot of people, but they are guest seats, unlike tourists who can only watch from a distance on the beach.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 foreigners entering Qiongzhou, and nearly half of them are island people who have a good life.

The local people are used to this, and the little book always pays too much attention to his neighbors.

On the afternoon of May 25, the Xinyuan-2 Yao-1 rocket, which had been assembled in the assembly building, was slowly dragged to the launch tower by a transport vehicle.

The first thing the onlookers see...... It is a line of large characters on the arrow body that reads "Welcome to Beautiful Tianfu", and the back is the name of Xinyuan No. 2.

In addition, the body of the arrow is completely painted, and it is composed of green bamboo, white background, and cartoon panda.

But this does not affect the shock of Xinyuan-2, the height of 75 meters after the final assembly is as high as more than 20 floors, and the Long March-2F is only 49 meters including the escape tower.

Standing on the launch tower, the 6-meter-diameter and 75-meter-high Xinyuan-2 is like a slender arrow pointing into the sky, which can be seen clearly even by tourists on the beach a few kilometers away, and can feel the shock from the heavy rocket.

The launch mission was jointly organized by Xinyuan and the Space Agency, because the former lacked experience in the ground monitoring system, and the latter had never experienced a launch mission close to a 1,300-ton rocket.

In the launch control room, the bigwigs of a vote sat together.

Tang Weitian looked at Xinyuan's task flow, shook his head constantly, and stared at Lin Ju with the eyes of a monster from time to time.

What he thought in his heart was: Young people don't talk about martial arts.

Xinyuan No. 2 is a big rocket, said to have been created?

There is also a 20-ton space shuttle, isn't it a waste to build a rocket with a capacity of 45 tons!

Academician She sat next to the big guy and talked about his experience in the Xinyuan factory.

Lin Ju attached great importance to it after knowing that such a big guy wanted to come and see, so he asked the chief engineer of the system to take Academician She to take a look at the places that were not technically sensitive, and also held several technical exchange meetings together.

It was also in such an environment that Academician She deeply felt the unique environment of Xinyuan.

He left two impressions: advanced and clean.

First of all, the Xinyuan factory, although it can only be regarded as small and medium-sized after expansion, but the degree of automation is quite high, and the machine can be used without people, and most of the entire factory is actually full of technicians, and there are few pure workers.

It's not that the space agency can't afford to get the same advanced equipment, but the problem is that the state budget is limited, and the rocket production capacity is not in demand, and the manual rubbing is also up to standard.

You must know that the aerospace industry is different from the automobile industry, the former is still in the era of manual and customization, and it is more and more so with the increase of scientific and technological content.

But this is obviously contrary to the democratization of aerospace, and Xinyuan has done this, solving as many parts as possible through automation.

For example, the industrial printer he saw could directly complete the main body of an engine, and then install the electrical and control parts to complete the production, achieving a production speed that the Sixth Academy could not imagine.

The second is that the employees here feel very different, almost all of them have to participate in the technical work of the R&D department, and they are organizing learning and progress at any time, with a serious and responsible attitude.

And the communication between the superiors and subordinates is smooth, and it is all based on technology to speak, which is purer than the school, which is clean.

Although it is not clear whether this is the reason for Xinyuan's success, it does give Academician She a feeling that he has not felt in decades.

Of course, the one he studied the most was Lin Ju himself, who was almost absolutely at ease to hand over everything, only responsible for making decisions and not interfering in any technical work.

Academician She especially summarized the last point, focusing on reporting to the bigwigs of the Space Administration.

The big guy said "oh" and was slightly dissatisfied, he is also from a technical background, even if he interferes, it will not be blind interference!

And even if he wants to learn from Lin Ju and delegate power, which of these people under his hand can worry? Can you really ignore it at all?

But the belly slander is belly slander, and the big guy also secretly feels that he needs to improve in this direction, and he can't let the space agency continue to stay behind.

Of course, when he reported to his superiors, he definitely focused on the budget issue, although it is a lot every year, but where is the new distance compared to the project?

At 20 o'clock in the evening of the 25th, the control room selected the time according to the meteorological conditions, and Xinyuan-2 Yaoyi decided to launch the rocket at 18:00 in the evening of the 26th.

The old horse on the other side of the ocean saw the news, set an alarm clock for himself in the early morning after converting the time difference, and then turned his head to make up for sleep.

In the dream, he dreamed that the Falcon 9 had successfully landed and recovered.
