Chapter Ninety-Six: Thrust is Capricious!
"Communication problem, I will let the Fiberhome Communication Research Institute help you solve it!"
Chen Zhongyan also played his role as the chief engineer of the entire project at this time, and he would try to help solve any difficulties in the Satellite Research Institute.
Lack of people or lack of money? I can find them all for you!
"In terms of high-performance satellite processing chips, I will find the computer institute to help you carry out special development!"
"If there are any problems, what are missing, say it!"
When Chen Zhongyan said this, he was very domineering.
One Zero One Satellite Research Institute, in the past few years, has never been so arrogant, Zhong Zixin has not reacted at this time.
The whole person was already frozen.
"Old Chen, in terms of scientific research funding?"
In terms of technical requirements, Chen Zhongyan has agreed to coordinate and help the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute to solve them.
However, since Chen Lao asked him to say everything, Zhong Zixin was not polite.
"If you need anything, write a project application and report it, as long as the demand is okay, you can solve it!"
"But I want to remind you that since you have taken so much money from the state, if something goes wrong, you can weigh the consequences yourself!"
Although Chen Zhongyan agreed to Zhong Zixin's request almost without any hindrance, the responsibility of the Satellite Research Institute was much greater than when Zhang Xingyang was fully promoting the recyclable rocket project.
After all, no matter what, Zhang Xingyang is using the money earned by the Rocket Research Institute himself to carry out development.
Regardless of profit or loss, it is up to the Rocket Research Institute itself.
After talking about this aspect of satellite research, Chen Lao changed his stern tone and asked Zhang Xingyang gently:
"Are there any difficulties on the side of the Rocket Research Institute?"
"If there is any difficulty, just put it forward, as long as we can solve it, we will find a way to solve it for you!"
The Rocket Research Institute, which is independent and has developed high-thrust recyclable rockets without relying on state funding, naturally has a better impression of Chen Zhongyan than the One Zero One Satellite Research Institute, which needs state support to be able to carry out development work.
However, Zhang Xingyang really didn't feel that there was anything more difficult on his side on the rocket.
Whether it is a financial or technical problem, relying on the current rocket research institute can solve it alone.
But in such a scene, it seems that if you really say this, it is likely to hurt Zhong Zixin's little heart.
So Zhang Xingyang thought about it and said his thoughts:
"Old Chen, this difficulty of mine may be more difficult to solve."
Before saying it, Zhang Xingyang first gave Chen Zhongyan a preventive shot.
Explain your difficulties in advance.
At this time, Chen Zhongyan was also a little interested, curious about what kind of difficulties Zhang Xingyang had encountered, and he still needed to prepare mentally in advance.
So he said with a little smile: "Let's talk about it, what kind of difficulties can stump our Dean Zhang!" ”
At this time, Zhong Zixin was also a little curious, after all, the dean of the research institute who was able to develop such a powerful rocket, what difficulties could there be.
"Elder Chen, you also know that our current project is different from the previous satellite launch mission, not just the launch of one or two satellites."
"The number of satellites that need to be launched in the first phase alone has reached 40, which is almost what we have launched in the past few years."
"Not to mention, if we follow our vision of a low-orbit satellite communication network, after it is finally completed, the number of satellites that need to be replaced every year will reach thousands!"
"Our current domestic launch sites are generally at high latitudes, and each time they launch, they cannot make good use of the geostrophic deflection force, and they need to consume more fuel."
"And the location of these launch sites is inland, whether it is the transportation of rockets or satellites, it can only be transported by road or rail."
"Not only does it greatly increase the cost of freight, but it's also easy to have all kinds of problems on the road!"
Chen Zhongyan also understood what the difficulty Zhang Xingyang wanted to mention at this time, and looked at Zhang Xingyang with a frown:
"Are you sure you want to mention this?"
Although Chen Zhongyan did not clearly say what Zhang Xingyang wanted to mention, he had obviously guessed it.
Only Zhong Zixin, who was dazed, didn't understand yet, waiting for Zhang Xingyang to continue.
"Old Chen, I'm serious."
"Whether it is from the perspective of saving money for the project, or from the perspective of promoting the construction of satellite communication networks more conveniently."
"We all have to build our own low-latitude coastal launch sites!"
Zhang Xingyang said very firmly, and there was a feeling that he would not give up until he reached his goal.
At this time, several major space powers in the world had their own launch sites in low-latitude regions.
The launch site built by the Gallic chickens in Guyana is almost the closest to the equator in the world.
The lowest place in the dimension, even only two degrees!
The rockets that take off from here need much less fuel than the launch sites in high latitudes, which invisibly reduces the cost of their rockets.
More importantly, the three-stage rocket engine can send the payload to the orbit point without secondary ignition, and because the relative inclination angle of the launch orbit is smaller, the energy required for the load to change the orbit is smaller, and the payload can be made larger.
Of course, the current dimension of the domestic Xichang launch base is not very high, only about 28 °.
Compared to NASA's Kajiao launch site, it is even lower.
However, when the Xichang launch site was under construction, it did not take into account the need for large-scale satellite launch missions.
Built deep in the mountains, the transportation of both rockets and satellites is a troublesome matter.
"This matter may not be so easy, after all, you also know that if a new launch site is to be built, it will require tens of billions of investments."
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhongyan still didn't give a positive reply on the spot, after all, there are many things involved in this matter.
However, Chen Zhongyan continued to ask if Zhang Xingyang had any other problems that needed to be solved.
Zhang Xingyang smiled and said: "The development progress of our research institute for recyclable rockets is okay at present, and there is nothing that needs special care from above. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xingyang turned to Zhong Zixin, who was a little pondering at this time:
"Director Zhong, when you are developing satellites, you don't have to worry too much about overweight."
"Even if your satellites weigh dozens of tons, our rockets have enough thrust to push into the sky!"
Even Chen Zhongyan was a little emotional at this time, he always thought that the thrust was not big enough to make satellites, and he was afraid of being overweight.
I didn't expect that one day, I didn't have to think about being overweight.
"A big thrust is capricious!"
There is another chapter that will be later.
