"The live broadcast of the launch of Shenzhou 2 is about to start."

"Teacher, why don't you come and take a look?"

Shengjing Aero Engine Research Institute, in the recreation room.

Chen Yuanqing said to Zhang Zhengjiang, who was still thinking about the problem.

In the entertainment room, the 30-inch big-ass color TV is playing the picture of Shenzhou 2 preparing to launch.

Although everyone basically has a TV at home these days,But most of the TVs are very small,Not as good as the big color TV in the institute。

This is also the reason why many people don't watch the TV at home and run to the institute to watch it at night

The signal from the TV broadcast was good and there were no ripples of snowflakes.

In the screen, on the tall launch tower, a manned rocket comparable to a twenty-five-story building is quietly waiting for the launch time to come.

Zhang Zhengjiang also retreated from thinking at this time, and just now he was still thinking about the problem of the engine vector nozzle.

"Is it time to launch?"

For this kind of major event in the field of aerospace, at this time there is a passion in China far beyond that of later generations.

Far from the time when there were several astronauts in the sky every day, the public sometimes even forgot that there were several astronauts in space.

It is only when the astronauts rotate once every six months that they can remember.

Oh, we still have three astronauts in the sky!

At the turn of the millennium, manned spaceflight was still a relatively new thing for China.

So after announcing that the launch would be broadcast live, the public basically stayed in front of the TV at the time of the launch.

Even though, the launch time was at one o'clock in the morning!

Even if, many people don't know what manned spaceflight is!

In the live broadcast of the launch scene, Zhang Xingyang, as the person in charge of the launch system, took on a lot of pressure.

When the rocket had just arrived at the Jiuquan launch center, the Dongfeng launch site.

Huang Chunming, who is in charge of the Shenzhou-2 manned project, once asked Zhang Xingyang for his views on the live broadcast.

Zhang Jianguo, the former commander-in-chief of the Shenzhou-1 manned project, has now been transferred to be in charge of the construction of the new launch center.

"Xingyang, are you sure that there will be no problems with this rocket launch mission?"

Huang Chunming was just 62 years old at this time, and he was no longer young and vigorous, so he was naturally more inclined to be safe.

"This time, the eyes of the people of the whole country are on us."

"There can't be any accidents!"

"The lessons of the past are still vivid!"

Zhang Xingyang naturally understands what a big deal it will be if there is an accident in the live broadcast.

Especially the lessons from the past, the failure of the first launch of the last Changsanyi rocket made domestic astronauts lose face in front of almost everyone.

If that happens again this time, then Zhang Xingyang will really have to apologize for his crimes.

However, Zhang Xingyang is still confident in the rockets he has handled.

"This launch mission, there will definitely be no accident like the previous one."

"If something happens, I'm fully responsible!"

Zhang Xingyang's promise made Huang Chunming, who was originally worried, relax a little.

After a few words of instruction to do a good job of inspection before launch, he left the launch site.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire Shenzhou-2 manned project, Huang Chunming has a lot of work, and being able to come to the launch center is already the result of squeezing time and squeezing it.

Even after spending less than half a day at the launch center, a lot of work has already been piled up in the flight control center.

This launch is different from the last time, this time Zhang Xingyang personally sat at the launch site.

Strive not to have any problems!

"There is still half an hour left before the countdown to launch."

The down-and-out and generous host took the microphone to the audience in front of the TV and broadcast the situation of the launch site live.

"We can see that the staff on the launch tower have completed the evacuation work."

"Now, the rocket has officially entered the final countdown stage."

"Let's interview the staff on the ground for their views on the current state of manned rockets."

The moderator stretched the microphone to Geng Bo, who was in charge of the on-site work.

Although Geng Bo is still quite able to talk on weekdays, he is still a little nervous at the thought of appearing in front of so many people.

didn't react at first, and only came back to his senses after the host asked again.

"The rocket has now completed the final checks."

"Begin to wait for the final time node of the launch."

At this time, everyone else at the launch site had already boarded the evacuation vehicle and was ready to go to the control center.

The host couldn't ask any more questions at this time, so he could only say:

"We're going to start the evacuation now, and the rest of the footage will go to the fixed camera at the launch site."

Then the picture on the TV switched to the rocket in the night.

Of course, there are still technical experts on the side, explaining some of the performance parameters of the rocket.

For example, the thrust of the rocket, the carrying capacity, and the escape system modification specially made for manned spaceflight, etc.

"Hello, my name is Huang Yuanyuan."

The host, who has a beautiful goose egg face, took the lead in introducing himself to Geng Bo.

"Hello, I'm Geng Bo."

Geng Bo's mind was still on the rocket that was about to be launched.

So for the greetings of beautiful women, it is not so attentive.

Even after replying casually, he turned his head and talked to the people around him about the situation of the rocket self-test just now.

Although he touched his nose, Huang Yuanyuan didn't feel anything particularly embarrassed.

She has been a news host for a day or two, and she has seen a lot of such technicians.

Geng Bo's attitude made her feel quite interesting.

After looking thoughtfully at Geng Bo, who was constantly communicating quickly with others, for a while, he smiled a little and looked at the next live broadcast process in his hands.

Wait a minute, she will also be in the rocket launch control center, explaining the whole process of the live broadcast of the launch of the manned rocket.

At this time, thousands of kilometers away at the Shengjing Aero Engine Research Institute, Chen Yuanqing looked at some familiar faces on the TV screen.

said to Zhang Zhengjiang beside him: "This is someone from the Rocket Research Institute, right?" ”

When he was working on the development of the turbine disc, the core component of the WS-10, Geng Bo had been here several times.

Chen Jianqing still has some impressions of him.

"He didn't seem to be so nervous before."

"I don't know if it's because of the host, it's a big beauty."

When he said this, Chen Jianqing wanted to laugh a little, because in his impression, Geng Bo was a more talkative person.

I didn't expect to be nervous when I was on TV.

"Possibly."

Zhang Zhengjiang is not as immodest as Chen Yuanqing, and he is more concerned about the launch of manned rockets.

"What do you think is the success rate of the launch of Shenzhou-2 this time?"

Although he doesn't particularly understand aerospace, Chen Jianqing has a full understanding of the technical strength of the Rocket Research Institute, especially Zhang Xingyang's technical level.

"It should be successful, their skills are still quite high." Chen Yuanqing said with some uncertainty.

"Hopefully they will succeed." Zhang Zhengjiang said with anticipation.

On the television, there was a sound of five minutes left in the countdown to the launch.

Before you know it, the launch time of the rocket is getting closer and closer.

In fact, the launch time of manned rockets is not like lunar exploration or other solar system exploration programs, and the distance, angle and so on between the earth and the stars must be taken into account.

However, considering the meteorological conditions, safety guarantees, optical tracking effects, etc., it is better to set the launch time in the middle of the night.

In the control center of the rocket launch site, everyone is carrying out the last inspection work before the rocket launch.

However, unlike the usual launch missions, this time there were many faces in the control center that they would not normally see.

These were none other than the live newscasters who had just returned to the control center from the tower.

Including journalists, presenters, photographers, and more.

"Audience friends, we can see that everyone in the control center is making the final preparations before the rocket launch in an orderly manner."

"Now the rocket has entered the final countdown stage."

"There are still three minutes left before our manned rocket launch."

The host also knew that the staff at this time did not have much time to be interviewed by her.

So it's basically a person, in the corner, to everyone live broadcast the situation of the control center.

For most people of this era, it was also the first time they saw the interior of a rocket launch center.

"On the big screen in the control center, it shows that the time is getting closer and closer to launch."

"We can feel the tension in the control center, it's getting heavier."

Huang Yuanyuan held the microphone and introduced the situation in the control center to the camera.

Although the astronauts inside the control center, it feels that time passes very slowly.

But the audience in front of the TV, under Huang Yuanyuan's explanation, felt that time was flying.

"Countdown to launch, ten!"

"Nine!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Ignition!"

With the blood-red countdown on the screen returning to zero, Zhang Xingyang pressed the launch button of the rocket.

The number of launches of the Hongyan rocket has been very large, especially after the start of the second phase of the construction of the low-orbit satellite communication system, the launch and recovery of the Hongyan rocket has been carried out nearly 100 times.

The Hongyan rocket, which has been used the most, has been carried out as many as eight times.

The launcher slowly released two huge mechanical arms, like a mother releasing her departing child.

The core of the rocket's engine ignited instantly, spewing out a huge jet of flames.

Under the diversion trough, four bright fire dragons appeared at the launch site.

Tens of millions of liters of high-temperature gas are converted into huge thrust.

Slowly push up the hundreds of tons of modern human miracles.

These are things that a hundred years ago, even in a dream, we could hardly believe.

It's happening quietly before our eyes.

In just a few seconds, the rocket was already flying high into the air.

"Dongfeng Twin Cities, optical tracking is normal!"

The first stage of the launch of the rocket went smoothly and without any incidents.

Zhang Xingyang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there were no problems.

If it happens again, the previous situation where Chang Sanyi exploded on the launch pad, he will really become a sinner in the domestic aerospace industry.

"Weinan, radar tracking is normal!"

"Qingdao, radar tracking is normal!"

"First-stage rocket, separation is normal!"

"The second stage rocket, the ignition was successful!"

With the height of the launch vehicle, gradually rising, the mood of the people in the control center is becoming more and more relaxed.

"Audience friends, at present, the first stage of the rocket has been separated."

"Represents the launch of the rocket, which has achieved initial success."

"We can see that the atmosphere of the staff present has relaxed a lot."

During the launch of Shenzhou 2, Huang Yuanyuan was also constantly making various explanations.

The launch screen broadcast on the TV shows not only the situation inside the control center, but also the live situation at the launch site.

and the observation of the rocket in various places during the flight of the rocket.

"Yuanhai No. 1, radar tracking is normal."

At this time, the carrier spacecraft, including the manned capsule, had reached the lowest point of the elliptical orbit at an altitude of 200KM.

IN AN ELLIPTICAL ORBIT, THE SPACECRAFT WILL CHANGE ORBIT AT AN APOGEE OF 300 KM TO ENTER A CIRCULAR ORBIT.

"The second stage rocket, the separation is successful!"

"Manned spacecraft, start orbiting!"

The manned spacecraft has a special propulsion module, which is responsible for the orbit change of the spacecraft and the subsequent maintenance of the orbital altitude of the spacecraft.

For this purpose, there are four high-thrust main engines and translation engines on the propulsion compartment for movement.

The propulsion module is also equipped with more than 20 square meters of main solar panels on both sides to power the propulsion module.

"The spacecraft has been successfully put into orbit!"

Look at the large screen to show the information that the spacecraft has entered the predetermined orbital altitude and that the individual solar panels are unfolding smoothly.

In the control center, there were bursts of cheers!

In fact, not only the Jiuquan launch base, but also in various places, there are countless Chinese people cheering for this step forward in our manned space industry.

Even the live broadcast host, who has always been more serious, is no exception.

"The manned rocket was launched, and it was a complete success!"

"We can see that there is a scene of laughter and laughter in the control center now."

Huang Yuanyuan said to the camera with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.

"Let's interview Commander Zhang, who is in charge of the launch of Shenzhou-2."

"Hello Commander Zhang, I would like to ask, how do you feel about the successful launch of Shenzhou 2?"

Seeing the microphone that was almost on his lips, Zhang Xingyang said with a smile:

"The launch was successful, and we were naturally happy."

"It's like a small tree planted by myself has finally borne fruit today."

"So how far do you think we are from actually conducting manned spaceflight?"

The question asked by Huang Yuanyuan is also what most people who are still in front of the TV in the middle of the night want to know.

"It won't be too far, if the Shenzhou-2 mission goes well."

"We will be able to launch the manned spaceflight of Shenzhou-3 next year and complete our own dream of flying!"

"The dream of aerospace since the flight of ten thousand households will be realized by our generation!!"

There's another chapter tonight.,By the way, ask for a monthly pass!!
