Chapter 728: Countdown to launch
Yang Fang's first stop was just that, and then Zheng Kaixiang took them to visit his project. Unlike other projects on site, this one looks more like it has entered a lab. And like some microbial laboratories, it is very troublesome to enter and exit. Even Wu Hao and the others could only watch the situation in the laboratory through the glass. However, they can only look at the general situation, and more often they still listen to the explanations of scientific researchers. In general, all such projects have just started and are progressing relatively well.
As for when the results will be achieved, I am afraid that this will take a long time. It's like a seed or a seedling has just been planted, and if you want to blossom and bear fruit, you have to continue to care for it.
Approaching lunchtime, Wu Hao immediately ended his trip to the Northwest Research Center of the Biology and Life Science Laboratory.
and Zheng Kaixiang and Yang Fang went to the restaurant for a light meal, Wu Hao immediately said goodbye to them, and then returned to the hotel for a lunch break.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Hao first went to inspect the construction of the base. The main thing is the construction of the base infrastructure. For example, the construction of base test areas, living areas, and support facilities.
According to the plan, the construction of the Northwest Research Center is divided into three phases, the first phase of the project has been completed, and the second phase of the project has begun.
After the completion of the second phase of the project, it will reach a large research base that can accommodate 1,200 people. In addition, all kinds of supporting facilities must be complete, and the living standard must be able to meet the living standards of second-tier cities.
Because the afternoon time is relatively limited, Wu Hao mainly went to inspect the solar power plant located on the periphery of the base and the large storage power station assembled by the new lithium battery.
The perimeter of the site is now covered with autonomous solar panels, which can change the angle in real time according to the angle of the sun, so that they can receive more sunlight.
And the entire solar power plant is managed by an intelligent system without human intervention. These solar panels are also regularly cleaned and maintained by intelligent robots, and even capable of autonomously replacing faulty panels and related equipment.
In the event of high winds or dusty weather, the solar panels will automatically retract to avoid damage.
Although it is automatically managed by an intelligent system, there will still be technicians on duty to ensure that the place is running properly.
As for the large-scale storage power station, this is also one of the relatively expensive infrastructures of the entire base, all of which are composed of new lithium batteries. The electricity generated by the solar power plant will be transported here for storage and then transmitted to the base for use.
In this way, even at night, the base will be able to use the electricity stored in the lithium battery storage power station.
Even in rainy weather, there is no problem, and it can support the entire base for three days of full load electricity. Of course, this is an arid desert area, and three days of rainy days are very rare.
In addition, there is a large diesel generator for emergency use. In accordance with the relevant development plan.
In the future, the solar panels will continue to be expanded, and some wind turbines will be installed in case of special weather and night shortages.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Hao and the others immediately came into contact with the inspection work, and then came to the rocket launch command and control center.
The countdown has begun, and the atmosphere in the rocket launch command and control center is very serious, and everyone is doing their own thing seriously.
Seeing Wu Hao and them coming, Yu Chengwu, who was standing in the command position, still greeted him.
Mr. Wu, let me introduce to you, these are representatives of the satellite, and this time they will also watch the live launch of the rocket together in the command center.
Wu Hao smiled and shook hands with these people when he heard this, except for one commercial satellite, the remaining two of the three satellites are scientific experiment satellites, which come from universities and colleges. So the representatives who came were all young people, and after these young people saw Wu Hao, they couldn't help but go up to shake hands, and some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.
This is the leader of the space department, Director Ding Xingyun Ding, who made a special trip to watch the launch of our rocket.
Hello, Director Ding, welcome. Wu Hao held the middle-aged man in a white shirt about forty years old in front of him and smiled.
Hehe, Mr. Wu, I finally met you in person, younger than on TV. Ding Xingyun held his hand and said enthusiastically: "When I came, the bureau leader told me that I should carefully observe the live launch of your rocket."
It is said that although you have entered the aerospace field for a relatively short time, you have made great achievements in development, and you have developed a carrier rocket with excellent performance in such a short period of time.
Our bureau is very interested in your ultra-low-cost commercial launch vehicle, and even hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate.
With the continuous development of our country's space technology, the launch tasks are becoming more and more intensive, and we have become more and more struggling to rely on ourselves.
So it's time to let private enterprises in, you have the technology, the capital, and most importantly, the momentum, with your fresh blood to join, I believe that our country's aerospace industry can go to a higher level. ”
Thank you, thank you for the compliments from the leaders of the bureau. We will certainly continue to work hard to contribute to our country's space industry. Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hahahaha...... Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Later, Wu Hao met with the local government and several other representatives to shake hands before taking a seat.
Looking at the countdown on the screen and the busy technicians below, everyone couldn't help but put away their smiles and observe carefully.
The countdown is two hours to prepare, the launch site personnel are evacuated, and the rocket enters the final self-test procedure.
Personnel began to evacuate, and launch site security personnel began to check the situation at the site to ensure that everyone left the scene.
The rocket self-test program is activated!
According to the field report, the evacuation of personnel in the area where the rocket may fall has been preliminarily completed, and our staff is working with local staff to investigate and ensure the safety of the falling area.
Received, let our staff be careful, and carefully investigate to ensure that the wreckage may fall in the area and no one can appear. In addition, the perimeter security is strengthened so that no one can break in. Yu Chengwu said with a serious face.
According to the report, the latest meteorological information came from the meteorological department, and the weather in the launch window of the rocket was clear, and the launch conditions were met, and it could be launched.
Report to the Beijing Space Command Center and wait for the final launch order.
Together with the satellite tracking and control centers of Anxi, Longcheng and Daocheng, it has entered the final stage of preparation.
Countdown to one hour to prepare!
