The reason why the middle-aged man chose the No. 2 target was that when Zhou Qingfeng followed his grandfather at the base, he overheard the researcher from the Qingshan base complaining when he went to the toilet, saying that the construction of Huaguo Power Investment did not meet their requirements and wasted half a month to repair the wrong place.

The test site, which had been built a little bit, remained deserted before it could figure out what to do, and there were birds trying to nest there.

This shows that the abandoned test site is not strictly guarded, and it seems that it also leads to the interior of the Aoyama base, which is a vulnerable point that can be broken through.

The middle-aged man didn't think that he could easily sneak into the base through this loophole, but he could see if he could find a signal line or something, and conduct signal interception eavesdropping.

I would like to know the various actions of the Aoyama base, which provided a full million dollars in activity funds.

The middle-aged man was full of energy, dragging Niu Aihua, who was walking hard, through the mountains and forests, and did not find anything abnormal along the way.

"Hurry up, it'll be there soon."

"I'm a woman, you help me carry this bag, I can't carry it. And I want to drink water, where did you put it? ”

“……”

If it weren't for the fact that the equipment debugging is very complicated and requires human cooperation, middle-aged people really don't want to take women to perform tasks.

It is very inconvenient to walk around in the mountains and forests at night, even if there is a night vision device, it is easy to step on the air, the travel speed of two people is not fast, and the middle-aged person is estimated to be able to touch the destination about a little bit.

At the same time, in the guardhouse of the Aoyama base, the researchers of the "Brave" project team are explaining something to the guards.

"Oh, just leave a door for it, huh?"

"Yes, this week's subject is autonomous terrain mapping and surrounding environment collection and testing, robot 13 will come here in two hours to change the battery, it will be you don't care, just leave the door for it when you come."

"Okay, no problem, why is it 'one three robots', not thirteen?"

"One is the No. 1 series, and the third is the third one, not the thirteenth...... I'll go first, just call the walkie-talkie if you have any questions! ”

"Let's go, let's go, strive for one or three robots to replace us as soon as possible haha."

"That's early...... Let's go. ”

The researcher looked at the location on his phone, and by this time the 13th had already turned to the back of the base.

The 12th was taken by the military to fly around the country, and the 13th will synchronize the learning data of the 12th every day to enhance each other.

I heard that the Ministry of Electric Machinery is working hard to develop a new type of battery, and I hope that the No. 1 series will get rid of the problem of short legs.

……

Satish Dawan Space Centre, Sri Harrigogota Island, Andhra Pradesh.

The GSLV MK3 rocket stands on the launch pad, topped by a white slender cylinder, which is the iconic escape tower of manned rockets.

Dressed in a trench coat that was out of place with the Indians around him, Najiradze was touted by Samarkand.

The GSLV MK3 rocket is an ISRO-designed Gaganyan spacecraft launch vehicle, and the design is extremely bizarre.

On the surface, this is a bundled rocket with two liquid rocket engines in the central core stage and a solid rocket booster on each side, but it is not.

When it took off, only two S200 solid boosters on both sides were started, providing about 1030 tons of thrust, and the two engines of the core stage did not work at all, but ignited when the solid rocket burned out.

So this core first stage is actually the "second stage", which is powered by two 140-ton thrust conventional fuel (poison hair) liquid rocket engines, and the upper stage is powered by a 20-ton open hydrogen and oxygen engine.

So in fact, the GSLV MK3 is not a "two-and-a-half-stage" as it seems at a glance, but a three-stage rocket.

This bizarre configuration also leads to a very low carrying capacity, with a low earth orbit capacity of only 10 tons, and its take-off weight is as high as 640 tons, which means that the carrying factor is less than 1.6......

The Long March-3B rocket, which also has a LEO capacity of about 11 tons, has a take-off mass of only 430 tons......

It can be seen that Natilradze can't bear to look directly at the GSLV MK3, such a garbage rocket is still the best launch vehicle in India, only it can launch the Gaganyan spacecraft.

The Gaganyan spacecraft is also wonderful, it is a two-cabin configuration, the return capsule plus the propulsion module is 8.2 tons, and the Shenzhou spacecraft is also of this mass, but there is an extra orbital module, which is enough to see how much weight the Gaganyan spacecraft has wasted.

But Natiladze has no plans to lose weight, he only guarantees that he will not die as much as possible.

To be honest, he is also not optimistic about the GSLV MK3, this design can be completely used with a rocket with a miserable design, which is simply a shame for astronauts.

Out of humanitarian interest, Natiladze helped fix a minor mistake in the GSLV MK3, allowing the rocket to make its maiden flight two months earlier than expected, and also to board the first full-state unmanned Gaganyan spacecraft.

This has already made Shivin Samarkand grateful to Natiladze, after all, he still knows how valuable the experience on manned rockets is, and it is really good to have someone to guide him.

"I suggest you make improvements to the configuration of the GSLV MK3, if the core stage works at the same time as the booster, slightly change its capacity to at least 17 tons, and even have the potential to have a capacity of 20 tons."

Natiladze still couldn't help but express his opinion of GSLV MK3 to Xiwen, but Xiwen Samarkand shook his head with a wry smile:

"We can't solve the problem of reflux ablation of the carrying first stage tail flame of the simultaneous ignition structure, you look at the layout of the two Viking engines, the reason why the tandem is used is because of this problem.

We decided to leave the H-X rocket part to the island countries to solve, and they have such experience. ”

Najiradze: "......"

ISROs are not all stupid, they certainly know such inferior design flaws, but small troubles that seem trivial in the upper three permanent can be insurmountable obstacles for other countries.

Just when he wanted to comfort him, Xiwen's next sentence immediately turned his pity into helplessness.

"But GSLV MK3 is enough, its mission is to launch the Gaganyan spacecraft, we don't need to improve it, let's talk about it when needed."

Natilradze shook his head expressionlessly, completely losing all hope for Indian astronautics.

However, the three buddies present obviously did not think so, GSLV MK3 and the first unmanned test flight of the Gaganyan spacecraft made them very excited, at this time they were waving flags and cheering enthusiastically, and they were actively interacting with the Moody's Daisen present.

Moody's also gave a speech before the launch before personally approving the rocket launch.

GSLV MK3, a monster that would twist and scream when any aerospace practitioner sees it, rises rapidly under the action of two solid boosters, moving forward with the third brother's dream of manned spaceflight.

Its last launch was in 2014, and Natiladze looked at the flight data, and it can only be said that the overly conservative and inferior design still brought a fairly reliable stability, and there should be no problems.

However, the Gaganyan spacecraft is a little worried, and I heard that the solar panels were developed by a domestic company, so I hope there will be no problems.
