Chapter 461: Not a Result of Failure
The hearts of the people watching from the sand dunes have already jumped to their throats. Many people began to pray secretly in their hearts, hoping to land successfully.
Three huge parachutes also slowly landed, and it seemed that the entire return experiment was about to come to a successful conclusion.
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "The umbrella is not unhooked, the umbrella is not detached!" ”
At the same time as this person shouted, suddenly everyone present heard a loud noise, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but chuckle.
"Quick, go cut the parachute!" Yu Chengwu hurriedly commanded, and at this moment, he also lost his square inch and began to rush towards the rocket.
"Come back, stop me."
Wu Hao frowned when he saw this, and then shouted: "It's not clear what the situation of the rocket is, it's dangerous to get so close." ”
As he spoke, he said to Yu Chengwu next to him: "As the commander-in-chief of the scene, the more you are at this time, the more calm you must be, and you can't make any trouble, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, Ming, understood!" Yu Chengwu, who came to his senses, nodded a little ashamedly, and then waved his hand at everyone and shouted in his somewhat hoarse voice: "The ground recovery team immediately went to the scene to check the situation of the rocket, pay attention to safety."
Others retreat outside the security line and are not allowed to approach. ”
"You don't need to call the fire department." Li Wenming appeared beside Wu Hao and suggested to him.
On this trip, Li Wenming came with him as his driver and assistant, but he had not made a sound before. Now that he saw the chaos at the scene, he came forward to follow Wu Hao to prevent possible accidents.
"The desert is not needed, it will add chaos when it comes, let's see the situation first." Wu Hao shook his head, and then continued to stare at the cloud of smoke and dust in the area where the rocket landed, as well as the technicians who were approaching.
By the time the technicians got closer, the smoke had almost dissipated, and everyone had seen the rocket.
The rocket did not land smoothly on the sand, but fell to the ground and was dragged by a parachute for more than ten meters, leaving a trail on the ground.
Fortunately, the parachutes have all landed, and there is no longer any further drag of the rocket.
"Failed!" Someone whispered and began to discuss, while Yu Chengwu and the others stood on the sand dunes and looked straight at the rocket, their faces were heavy, and they didn't say anything.
At this time, several more cars drove from the direction of the control center, and it was Zhou Xiangming and them who had been staying in the control center before.
Seeing Yu Chengwu and them standing there with a solemn face, Zhou Xiangming did not speak, but nodded at Wu Hao, and then took the technician wearing a red protective suit like him to get back into the car, and then drove towards the rocket.
"Alright, alright, what's there to discuss. Experiments, how can it be smooth sailing, we have already thought of this result before the experiment.
Don't be discouraged, it's not clear what the situation is now, let's wait for the preliminary results of the investigation. Wu Hao comforted everyone present in a relaxed tone as much as possible.
Yu Chengwu heard his words, then woke up from his trance, and then turned his head to look at him, but hurriedly avoided Wu Hao's gaze.
After a moment of confusion, he walked slowly towards him. After walking in front of Wu Hao, he said in a deep voice in his somewhat hoarse voice: "Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, the experiment failed." ”
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "It's already very successful, it's just a little bit." ”
"yes, that's pretty much what we did." Yu Chengwu's face showed a very unwilling affection.
Wu Hao stepped forward and patted his arm, then smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't think about it, it's just a failure."
You are the commander-in-chief of the scene, and there is still a lot of follow-up work waiting for you to arrange, so don't let everyone be silent in this bad atmosphere for a long time.
Also, you haven't had a good rest in a while. After feeling busy, work and then go on vacation to rest for a few days.
When we have a good spirit, we will continue to work hard, and I believe that we will succeed. ”
"Yes." Yu Chengwu nodded heavily, then glanced at the rocket in the distance, and then walked towards the crowd.
Wu Hao looked at Yu Chengwu's figure and shook his head slightly, then walked to Zhang Jun, who was still holding a telescope to observe the rocket, hammered him and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to see, how to go back." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jun put down the binoculars and hurriedly followed: "Don't you look at it, I don't know the result yet." ”
"We're a little uncomfortable here, so let's not affect them. When the results are out, they will report it as soon as possible. Wu Hao stretched his waist, and then looked at the blue sky, and the cloud of rocket trajectory that was about to dissipate.
He was naturally disappointed that the experiment failed, but he quickly returned to normal. As he said earlier, they had already thought of this result before the experiment.
And a difficult technique like this is not something that can be achieved casually. If it was so easy to succeed, wouldn't this technology have already spread all over the world, and only one company could have done it until now.
Although Wu Hao gave Yu Chengwu a lot of technical information and related 'guidance' on this retrieval rocket, the whole project was still led by Yu Chengwu and them. And it's not just the technology that can be successful, there are many other factors to consider.
It's like building an aviation turbofan engine, the technical principle is known to everyone, but there are only a handful of people who can build the engine. Another example is the nuclear bomb, the principle and technical data network has long been flooded, and how many can make it.
Besides, today is not all a failure, first of all, the first low-cost disposable rocket using 3D printing technology and materials has been a complete success, and this is half the battle.
This one was a retractable rocket, although it failed when it landed at the end. But the first 80 or even 90 percent of the stage has been successful, which is already a good harvest.
As for the final failure, just identify the failure, analyze the cause, and solve the problem.
Moreover, this experiment is also a rare opportunity for the entire scientific research team, and I believe that after this failure experience, the team members will definitely be more mature. From another point of view, this also trains the whole team and accelerates their growth.
"Why didn't the parachute disengage?" Zhang Jun couldn't help but ask at him, and it could be seen that he was still struggling with this question.
"I don't know."
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "There are many reasons why the parachute does not disengage, such as system failure, mechanical device problems, natural environmental impacts, and so on.
Okay, let's not guess, let's wait for the result with peace of mind! ”
