Chapter 457: Countdown Before Launch

Under the guidance of Yu Chengwu and others, Wu Hao and Zhang Jun led everyone to this temporary rocket launch control center built and assembled from containers.

It is said that the container is assembled and built, but in fact, the frame of the container is used and then many are put together, and there is a lot of space inside.

And indeed, as Yu Chengwu said, the environment inside is very good, not at all like a temporary building built in the desert.

The interior layout is similar to that of a general control center, with two large screens on both walls, and the room is divided into multiple work areas with various types of equipment.

When they walked in, the people who were working stood up and applauded. Seeing this, Wu Hao smiled and pressed his hand, signaling everyone to continue working.

And Yu Chengwu also introduced a few people in front of him: "These are the leaders sent by our aerospace authorities, and these are local comrades from public security and fire fighting." ”

"Hello, hard work." Wu Hao shook hands with these people one by one and said. These people are not very old, generally around twenty or thirty years old.

Speaking of which, it was just an ordinary rocket launch experiment, and these people came just for show, so no important leaders came.

"Mr. Wu, why don't you notify in advance when you come, we are ready to prepare. When we heard that you had set up this rocket launch test site in our autonomous region, the leaders of our state were very happy and said that it was an honor for our state.

I just heard that you and Mr. Zhang are here in person, and our leaders have explained that we must treat you well, and they are preparing to come over. A local cadre in his thirties shook his hand and said excitedly.

Well, Wu Hao didn't want to see these people, so he immediately replied with a smile: "Thank you, thank you for the strong support from the local government." But please tell everyone, don't go so far. We had a tight schedule, and we were about to leave after watching the launch experiment. Next time, next time I'll definitely visit them in person. ”

These people are so enthusiastic about paying attention, he actually knows it in his heart, and it is nothing more than running for his money. Usually these people don't see him, but this time there is an opportunity, how can these people let it go.

Of course, for these people, it is understandable to hold on to a glimmer of hope to find opportunities to attract investment in the places under their rule.

It's just that for a technology company like Haoyu Technology, there is really no value to invest in such a remote place. So instead of wasting your tongue when you meet these people, it's better not to see them.

"One hour countdown to preparation before the launch of the first rocket."

"Yes, the countdown is one hour to prepare, and the security personnel are on hand to inspect the station to ensure that there are no idle people waiting to enter and stay in the martial law area."

"The ground recovery team will investigate the location where the rocket may fall to ensure that there are no idle people staying in the falling area."

"The weather monitoring team pays close attention to the transit air flow and instantaneous microclimate change in the area. In particular, the wind speed in the station is monitored to ensure that the entire launch mission is foolproof. ”

……

As one order after another was issued, everyone in the entire command and control center began to get busy.

And Wu Hao didn't bother, but sat in the guest seat at the back with the local people, paying close attention to all this.

Through several screens, Wu Hao and the others could clearly see the real-time situation of the two rockets in the launch site. According to the plan, the first to launch a disposable low-cost experimental rocket with 3D printed materials will be carried out.

Therefore, Wu Hao's attention at the moment is also on this experimental rocket with a white body and the words 'Haoyu Aerospace' printed on it.

The rocket consists of two stages, with a total altitude of 15.6 meters, a weight of 793 kilograms, and a maximum flight altitude of about 150 kilometers.

The rocket uses a new type of mixed liquid fuel that is independently proportioned by the R&D team, and of course, Wu Hao's 'guidance' is indispensable for this. This test is also to test the reliability of this new liquid fuel blend and the relevant flight test performance data.

"Thirty minutes countdown, all personnel in the launch site are evacuated."

With Yu Chengwu's order, the staff who carried out the final inspection and testing in the launch site also began to get on the car for evacuation, and the rocket also entered the final preparation stage before the test flight.

"Start charging, start the self-test procedure of the rocket body system before the test flight."

The atmosphere in the control center is very solemn, and everyone is fully engaged in their work. And Yu Chengwu, who was standing in the command position, had a serious face, always staring at the data and information flashing on the big screen, for fear of missing it.

At this time, Zhou Xiangming, who was wearing a red protective suit, hurriedly walked in from outside, and it could be seen that there were still some traces of wind on his dark face, and some dust was also hanging on his hair.

After seeing Wu Hao, he hurriedly walked over to him: "Mr. Wu." ”

"Well, hard work." Wu Hao held his hand tightly and said with a caring face: "How did you do this, you don't pay attention to taking care of yourself."

Although we are men, we should pay attention to it, so as not to find a daughter-in-law at that time. ”

"Hehe, get used to it." Zhou Xiangming touched his hair, then looked at the data on the big screen and said, "What's the situation?" ”

"Everything is normal, Cheng Wu is in command." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Zhou Xiangming nodded, and then immediately stepped forward to look at the screen, ignoring him no longer.

In this regard, Wu Hao can also express his understanding. After all, now everyone in the entire launch experiment center is focused on this rocket, and it is really difficult to take care of other things. Don't talk about him, even if these people's parents and families come, I'm afraid they are not in the mood to take care of them.

"Enter the countdown to launch, ten minutes to prepare!"

With this order, the big screen did not appear at the launch site test rocket. At the same time, the red countdown number next to it is also rapidly decreasing.

The whole control is within the center, except for the staff who are paying full attention. Everyone else was also focused on the big screen, and they were also silently reciting the countdown numbers in their hearts.

"Five minutes to prepare!"

"Damn, why are you so nervous." Zhang Jun clenched his fists, staring at the picture on the big screen, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Wu Hao smiled when he heard this, and then patted his arm to reassure him. Although no one said anything about it today, he knew that the launch success rate of such experimental rockets was only fifty percent, half and half, or even lower.

He certainly wants to succeed, but is also prepared to fail. Even for a moment, he was already thinking about how he would speak to comfort everyone present in case of failure.

"Countdown one minute to prepare, fifty seconds, forty seconds, thirty seconds, twenty seconds!"

"Ten, nine, eight、...... One, ignition, takeoff! ”
