At the end of the meeting, after a short rest, Wu Hao and the others, led by Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming, came to the new rocket launch command and control center.

Compared with last year's temporary center, the new rocket launch command and control center is larger and more fully equipped.

Walking into the command and control center, it was still busy. After seeing them walk in, the busy crowd stood up and applauded in welcome.

Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hand, signaling everyone to continue working. He actually dislikes this kind of formalism, but now that the atmosphere is like this, he is not exempt from vulgarity. Therefore, he advocates simplifying as much as possible and not delaying everyone's normal work.

Especially when the rocket is about to launch, there are a lot of things that need to be done, so everyone must hurry up and try to get everything done before the launch, so for scientific research and technical personnel, every minute is very important.

Together with Yu Chengwu, they came to the command position, and standing here, they could see the whole picture of the command and control hall.

Compared to the neat and orderly nature of the official space control center, it is still divided into multiple areas as before. Each region has one or several departments, which are clearly divided.

And it's the same on the three walls, mounted on three huge high-definition LCD screens, on which all kinds of data information are displayed.

After looking around, Wu Hao focused their eyes on the whole picture of the launch vehicle that was being monitored in real time on the large screen on the front.

I saw that on the endless desert, two steel towers were erected. And between the two towers, it was the 'Jianmu-1' low-cost commercial launch vehicle that they launched this time that was captured and surrounded by the robotic arm on the tower.

Through the ultra-wide-angle lens, everyone can also feel the majestic posture of this rocket erected on the desert through the screen.

Facing everyone's eyes, Yu Chengwu proudly introduced to everyone: "This is the 'Jianmu No. 1' ultra-low-cost commercial launch vehicle we developed.

The rocket has a total length of 28.6 meters and a diameter of 3,02 meters. Take-off mass 164.7 tons. The total thrust is 3090 kN.

Its carrying capacity can reach 2.7 tons in low earth orbit and 1.4 tons in sun-synchronous orbit.

The rocket adopts a two-stage structure, all of which are made of semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel developed by us.

This material has the characteristics of high density, light weight, high capacity, high thrust and low cost.

And this semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel has passed the safety and environmental protection assessment of the aerospace technology department and the environmental protection department, and meets the relevant regulations formulated by our country.

The aerospace technology department is also very interested in our semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel and wants to cooperate with us. ”

Hehehehe...... The crowd laughed.

Looking at the smiling Wu Hao, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming's hearts were extremely excited and admired. Although it is said that this semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel is the result of their research, in fact, both of them know that the formula of the relevant fuel comes from Wu Hao.

Just when they were in trouble and anxious about their research on fuel technology, an internal email from Wu Hao made the two of them excited. It was also based on the content of this email that they soon made a breakthrough in this area and quickly developed this semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel.

Subsequently, very excellent results were achieved in ground thrust experiments and live arrow launch experiments. It didn't just get them into the excitement, it got their whole team in the air.

As people in the industry, no one knows the value of this semi-solid foamed propulsion fuel better than them. With it, it is equivalent to having capital that can support them to gain a foothold in the field of aerospace technology, and it is also equivalent to having a strong hole card.

Because of this, their admiration and admiration for Wu Hao in their hearts are even deeper, and it can be said that now these two people have become Wu Hao's little fans.

"What level is this rocket at?" It was Zou Xiaodong who spoke, he didn't know much about launch vehicle technology, and when he heard Yu Chengwu report this lot of data at once, he couldn't help but question.

Zhou Xiangming replied with a smile: "It belongs to the international advanced level.

Whether it is in terms of rocket carrying capacity, new materials and fuels, as well as reliability and cost, this rocket is at the forefront of the international rocket of the same class. ”

"And how does that Falcon 9 rocket compare to that SPX company?" Zou Xiaodong asked casually.

Forehead......

Hearing his words, the scene fell silent all of a sudden.

Zhou Xiangming didn't know how to answer for a while, and at this time, Yu Chengwu said with a smile: "This is not a level, our one belongs to a light launch vehicle, and they belong to a medium-sized heavy launch vehicle."

This one of ours is a disposable rocket, while the Falcon 9 is a partially recyclable launch vehicle.

A rocket like ours is only 28.6 meters, more than 3 meters thick, and has a take-off weight of more than 100 tons. The Falcon 9, on the other hand, is 70 meters tall, more than twice as tall as ours. It is much thicker than ours, and its weight has reached more than 500 tons, and the carrying capacity of its Jindi orbit has reached more than 20 tons.

So, it's basically two levels of stuff. Just like boxing, we're lightweights, maybe 55 or 60 kilograms, and they're heavyweights over 80 kilograms and 90 kilograms.

No matter what the competition is, it is impossible for the players of these two divisions to compete on the same stage. ”

After Yu Chengwu's explanation, everyone who came with Wu Hao couldn't help but nod their heads in understanding.

As for Wu Hao, he glanced at Zou Xiaodong, and then smiled at everyone: "Everyone has a beginning, and the Falcon rocket also succeeded after experiencing countless failures.

It depends on who we compare with, compared to other aerospace technology companies, our research and development progress and the quality and performance of this rocket are far ahead.

And you also have to look at how many high-launch vehicles there are in the world. Not to mention the company, you can count the countries that independently engage in launch vehicles, and I think the top leaders can count them.

Therefore, there is a gap, but this is not a reason or excuse for us to feel inferior or ashamed, but a motivation for us to work hard.

We've done a good job, there's no doubt about that. Then we're going to do better.

At this stage, we are going to strive for a successful launch of this rocket. And in the future, we will also actively catch up with and surpass those leaders, not only Falcon 9, but also SPX, there are many better than it.

Isn't it popular to say that our journey is a sea of stars. That's right, our goal is the sea of stars, and this is just the first step into this industry. It is also our first step towards the sea of stars.

In the future, we will not only develop heavy-lift launch vehicles with greater thrust and carrying capacity, but also truly recyclable launch vehicles.

In addition, we have to study spacecraft, we have to land on the moon, we have to land on Mars. Even, we will build scientific research bases on the moon and Mars, and maybe build a real moon and Martian city in the future, so that we humans can really move to alien planets.

In the future, you will have one more tourist destination, that is, space, the moon, and Mars! ”
