Beidu, flight control center building.

The staff wearing blue and white space uniforms kept shuttling back and forth, summarizing the situation of each system into the command center.

"Commander-in-chief, the data of the manned rocket has been transmitted in full."

Zhang Xingyang reported to Zhang Jianguo, who had a serious military style in front of him.

This is the last full-system simulation experiment of the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-1 before launch.

A series of processes from the launch of the rocket to the landing of the re-entry capsule will be simulated.

Make the final guarantee for the launch of Shenzhou-1 at the end of December!

"I'm sorry for you, Xingyang."

After Zhang Jianguo signaled that he already knew, he talked about something that had nothing to do with work.

"Have you been to see Old Chen?"

"How's he doing now?"

Chen Zhongyan has worked in the aerospace system for most of his life, which can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world, and Zhang Jianguo has also worked under Chen Zhongyan.

It's just that as the commander-in-chief of Shenzhou-1, there are too many tasks at the juncture when the launch is less than three months away.

I really can't spare time to visit Chen Zhongyan in the hospital.

"Old Chen, he."

When Zhang Xingyang mentioned this matter, he still felt a little sad, and said after a few seconds:

"Yesterday was gone."

Zhang Jianguo obviously didn't expect Chen Zhongyan to leave so soon, and he was a little stunned for a while.

"The last time I went to see him, it was fine."

"How suddenly."

"Bone cancer is in an advanced stage, there is not much time left, and Chen Lao has been running around for the past few months."

Zhang Xingyang said some things that Zhang Jianguo didn't know much about.

"Without treatment in the hospital, the rate of deterioration is even faster."

"Let's not talk about that, let's try to do a good job in this system-wide simulation experiment."

"Old Chen, my last wish is that our manned spacecraft can go to the sky smoothly."

Zhang Jianguo also nodded and said:

"If there are no problems in this experiment, then the launch of Shenzhou-1 will be able to be carried out in December this year."

"If something goes wrong, the launch may have to be postponed next year!"

At present, the entire space system is in practice with a double zeroing system.

If there is any problem, then whether it is technical or administrative, it must be zeroed out.

The time, energy, and financial and material resources required are unimaginable to ordinary people.

The most problematic areas are during the launch phase of the rocket, as well as during the return phase.

So the burden on Zhang Xingyang's shoulders is still very heavy.

"Before I arrived, the manned rocket had already carried out three rounds of testing to make sure that everything was eliminated on the ground."

Hearing Zhang Xingyang's answer, Zhang Jianguo was also a lot relieved.

Zhang Jianguo looked at the watch on his wrist: "The whole system simulation experiment is about to start, go back to your job." ”

Zhang Xingyang is responsible for the simulation experiment part of the whole system is the launch stage of the rocket.

From the time the various payloads are loaded into the fairing, all the way to the completion of the separation of the manned spacecraft and the entry into the predetermined orbit.

Zhang Xingyang is responsible for this part.

After returning to his post, Zhang Xingyang first asked about the situation at the rocket launch site.

Geng Bo was in charge of the work at the launch site: "Everything is ready at the launch site, and the launch work can be carried out!" ”

"Please instruct the flight control center!"

At this time, Zhang Xingyang glanced at Zhang Jianguo, who was in the rear, who was responsible for coordinating the entire huge system, and after getting the other party's nod, he issued instructions:

"Flight Control Center, allow launch!"

At this time, the large screen synchronized on both sides lit up the launch countdown.

At this time, the flight control center was anxiously waiting.

With the end of the countdown little by little, it soon came to the node of the rocket launch.

Although there will be no real rocket launch this time, everyone is still a little nervous, afraid that anything will go wrong.

"Launch!"

In the flight control center, the rocket launch command from the launch site was received.

The individual systems began to work according to the real rocket launch process.

"Xingxian radar, working normally!"

"Weinan radar, working normally!"

"Qingdao radar, working normally!"

Although no actual rocket was launched, radar monitoring stations in various places began to scan the sky according to a predetermined procedure.

In the simulation experiment, the first stage rocket of the manned spacecraft will be separated when it flies over the East China Sea.

"First-stage rocket, separation is normal!"

This is a simulation result calculated with the support of several supercomputers.

"Yuantu No. 1, the radar is working normally!"

The ocean-going survey ship located in the eastern Pacific Ocean also turned on its own shipborne radar at this time.

In addition to the Yuande-1 in the eastern Pacific Ocean, there are three ocean-going survey vessels in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

and the Farsight 3, which is also being prepared to send data on the return capsule in the South Atlantic.

Including the Karachi monitoring station and the HBK monitoring station abroad, work began at this time.

Almost endless data began to be aggregated into the flight control center located in the northern capital.

In the flight control center, everyone is quickly processing all kinds of data.

The data was gradually fitted into a simulated orbit of the rocket, drawing a line that looked extremely beautiful on the large screen in front of the flight control center!

"Far Measurement No. 3, data injection is normal!"

"Return capsule, separation successful!"

"Preparing to enter the return orbit!"

With the non-stop operation of the supercomputer, the entire simulation experiment has come to the last link of the Shenzhou-1 mission.

"Karachi station, the radar is working fine!"

"Re-entry capsule re-entry!"

At this time, the staff on the ground also began their work.

Although we knew that this was just a simulation experiment, everyone still carried it out as if it was an official manned spacecraft launch!

Helicopters near the landing site, start lift-off!

A visual search was carried out for the return capsule.

"Ground electric sweep radar, working fine!"

"Return capsule, parachute opens normally!"

"Return capsule, thrust reverser engine is working fine!"

"Soft landing, success!"

After receiving the news of the successful landing of the return capsule, everyone in the flight control center breathed a sigh of relief as if they had finished a big battle.

At this time, Zhang Xingyang, like everyone else, stood up, took a few deep breaths, and relieved his mood.

In the flight control hall, I don't know who took the lead, applauded, and gradually formed bursts of thunder in the vast hall.

Zhang Xingyang applauded and thought in his heart:

"It's far from the launch of Shenzhou-1!"

"It's just one last step!"
