Chapter 945: Safe Landing

The huge tail flame blew up the sand and dust on the entire ground, mixed with this thick smoke, and soon enveloped the entire first-level arrow body that was about to land.

This also makes many people who are watching this scene can't help but be anxious, that kind of anxious mood, just like a cat sees a canned dried fish that is close at hand and can't be late.

However, judging from the news from the sensors on the first-stage rocket body and the sensors not arranged on the landing site, the first-stage rocket body of the rocket should have successfully landed on the landing site.

But for everyone, there's nothing more intuitive than seeing it with your own eyes.

Just when everyone began to get anxious, suddenly someone began to cheer.

With the help of the observation scope, Wu Hao, who was at the observation station, finally saw the first-stage rocket body of the rocket that gradually receded and landed in the middle of the landing site.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Whether it was Lao Ma or Xiao Ma, or the reporters and guests at the scene, they applauded and cheered.

Lao Ma and Xiao Ma each occupied an observation glass, and were carefully observing the rocket body of the first stage standing in the middle of the launch site.

Wu Hao was the same, although he was not as eager as Erma, he also raised his telescope and took a closer look.

Compared with the brand-new rocket that towered over the launch site before launch, the first-stage rocket body of the rocket that landed in the middle of the landing site in front of me looked a little old.

The tail part of the entire first stage of the rocket has been blackened by the wake and smoke ejected by the engine. A window appeared on the roof of the rocket, which was the parachute compartment. At this moment, the three parachutes have disengaged on their own, so it seems to be a little broken.

"The landing site reported that the first-stage rocket body of the rocket has successfully landed, the rocket body is in good condition, the on-site danger has been lifted, and all work teams can enter and carry out operations as planned."

"Oh!"

After hearing this report, the crowd cheered and celebrated again, louder than the previous one.

"The command and control center reported that the Jianmu-2 rocket has successfully sent two satellites to the scheduled orbit, and this launch mission was a complete success!"

There was another burst of cheers, this heartfelt joy was very contagious, which also made Lao Ma and Xiao Ma and a group of guests and reporters also happy.

"Wu Hao, let's go to the scene too?" The old horse said slowly.

Wu Hao nodded, and then drove to the landing field with Erma.

The landing field is actually quite simple, it is a flat open field, on which several hard landing fields are poured with concrete.

The size of each landing site is different, but without exception, there is a cross ring mark in the middle, which is very significant, which is conducive to the control system on the rocket body of the first stage to carry out image recognition and positioning landing.

This first-class rocket body landed in a circular landing field with the largest area in the landing field, and a cordon has been set up five meters around the first-level rocket body, and there are base security personnel to guard it to prevent irrelevant people from entering.

By the time Wu Hao and the others came, the various working groups had already entered the site and started their work. Not far away, several staff members in red overalls are working together to retrieve the parachute.

They need to fold and retrieve the three parachutes before they are blown away by the wind. The three umbrellas are then sent to the relevant workshops, where they are cleaned up and repaired as necessary, then folded and ready to be loaded into the rocket again for use.

Although they had seen rockets at the launch site before, everyone felt that the first-stage rocket body towering on the landing site in front of them was even more spectacular. At a height of 267 meters, it is almost eight or nine stories high.

Although they were leaders, they were no exception and did not enter the cordon. At this moment, many staff members are holding various equipment to check the status of the rocket body.

At this time, Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming, who rushed from the command and control center, also felt it. Seeing Wu Hao and them here, the two hurriedly ran over.

"Mr. Wu!"

Well, Wu Hao nodded and smiled: "Good job!" ”

"It's all the result of everyone's hard work." Xu Chengwen replied with a smile.

"This should be considered a successful launch and landing, right?" The old horse on the side looked at the first-level arrow body of the rocket in front of him, and asked Wu Hao and them.

Yu Chengwu nodded and said with a smile: "Judging from the relevant news obtained so far, it should be said that the launch was successful, but the final result will not be known until careful inspection."

After all, what we want is not only for the rocket to land safely and smoothly, but also to consider whether the rocket body of the first-stage rocket that has landed can be reused and how many times it can be used.

Design goals and actual results are two different things, and our aim is to be reusable, not simply to land safely. ”

Hearing Yu Chengwu's words, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

"Anyway, it's been half the way through, and that's pretty remarkable." Lao Ma gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "You have successfully written a strong stroke in the field of domestic aerospace technology and the field of world aerospace technology.

In the future, when people mentioned the retractable reusable rocket, they no longer used the Falcon as an example, and there was also Jianmu II, which was named after the Falcon.

The name Jianmu is good. It is really like the legendary sacred tree, which can communicate with heaven and earth, and is a ladder and bridge between heaven and earth.

Will this rocket be able to carry people in the future? ”

After admiring it, Lao Ma immediately raised his own question. In fact, he knows all the information about this rocket, and the reason why he still asks so is obviously to find out the bottom of Wu Hao again.

Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "The thrust of this rocket is not enough, so it can only be used for launch missions such as some spacecraft and satellites.

In the next step, we will continue to develop rockets with higher thrust to carry out a wide variety of missions with a wider range of content, and it is not impossible to carry people. ”

Although Wu Hao's answer was very concise, Lao Ma still grasped a few words very keenly, and said with a light in his eyes: "In this way, you not only have a rocket project with greater thrust, but also a manned spacecraft, what's the matter, you also want to come to the space tourism project." ”

Wu Hao waved his hand: "No, at present, the country's new spacecraft is performing well, and it is very difficult for us to compete with it." So we hope to be able to secure the relevant manned launch missions.

Of course, we are also working on new manned spacecraft, or other manned vehicles. ”

"Space shuttle, or Musk's starship?" Brother Pony interjected and asked.

Wu Hao didn't answer directly, but looked at the two and explained: "It's impossible to completely copy other people's, you still have to adapt to local conditions according to your own actual situation, and have your own characteristics." ”
