Chapter 12 Heavy Recoverable Launch Vehicles

Du Xingyu's words naturally caused heated discussions on the Internet, with voices of approval and slander, but at this time he no longer cared about it.

The research team is holding a meeting at the Rocket Research Center, which is also the first time Du Xingyu has participated in a research team meeting.

"Du Xingyu, I guess everyone knows you?" Liu Yuan asked Du Xingyu to introduce himself. Everyone nodded and looked at the young rocket engineer curiously.

"Okay, let me talk about our mission arrangements in the past two months. Two months later, our Tianwen-1 Mars rover will be launched. Every two years and two months, Mars and Earth will only operate to the closest distance." He Jingcheng, the team leader and chief engineer of rocket research and development, spoke.

"The United States, Russia, Europe, and India have completed the Mars exploration mission, and our China must not be behind. So this mission must be successful! As a rocket team, we must ensure that there is no problem with the Long March 5B launch vehicle!"

"Comprehensive inspection cannot allow any link to be mistaken! In an aviation mission, an error of a decimal point may cause thousands of people to work hard for several years and tens of billions of dollars to be destroyed!"

Everyone had serious expressions, and no one wanted to make mistakes in their tasks. The huge pressure was beyond the reach of ordinary people!

"What do you think? Let's talk about it."

He Jingcheng looked at everyone, and everyone was silent. The Long March 5 launch vehicle is a relatively mature series, and there is basically no problem. Therefore, this time the Mars rover launch mission was selected for Long March 5.

"Team leader, I have a rocket improvement plan." Du Xingyu stood up and spoke.

Everyone in the research team looked at him. Today is the first day Du Xingyu officially participated in the work and was causing trouble on the first day? Some people were secretly unhappy.

"Oh, what do you think?" He Jingcheng was a little surprised. Although he also thought Du Xingyu was a capable material. However, there was a gap between talents and real rocket engineers, and the rockets produced by the school were even more different from real launch vehicles.

According to He Jingcheng's idea, Du Xingyu needs to be trained for a few years. Who knew that he stood up on the first day.

"I have made a heavy launch vehicle recycling plan. Can I demonstrate it?" Du Xingyu asked.

"Yes!" He Jingcheng smiled. He didn't think Du Xingyu could make any reliable solutions.

However, it is also a good thing to let young people suffer a little.

The other team members thought the same, and they didn't care much.

Du Xingyu opened the projection screen in the conference room and began to explain his rocket recycling plan.

"Everyone knows that I can come here to work with you because I made a small recyclable rocket. But now I want to say that the solution for this recyclable rocket is actually a simplified version of the heavy launch vehicle I designed. As long as it is modified, we can achieve the same effect on the heavy launch vehicle."

As soon as Du Xingyu started his speech, someone interrupted: "Do you know how much different a real heavy launch vehicle is from the toys you made in school?"

Du Xingyu looked at him. This was a middle-aged man with a national face and thick eyebrows. His name was Tao Ran, and he was the deputy leader of the Rocket R&D team.

Tao Ran was not friendly to Du Xingyu's face and tone. In fact, he had been very opposed to Du Xingyu since he joined the group.

Tao Ran believes that the Starry Sky One launched by Du Xingyu is just a toy and is just a lucky recycle. It is a thousand miles away from the real Rockets. Such students should start from the bottom instead of taking on such an important position as a rocket engineer when they come!

Like Tao Ran, there are some people in the research team who are not interested in Du Xingyu. What kind of genius? These rocket engineers, dynamics, mechanical engineering, electrical, and intelligent systems experts, who were not geniuses in their student days?

"Power, of course I know the gap. So I need to add my plan to me." Du Xingyu said, "If you have any opinions, you can listen to me patiently and then mention it."

"I suggest you talk about it later." Tao Ran said directly, "We have a busy work task and need to rush to work."

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little awkward, and it became clear that the engineer led by Tao Ran did not recognize Du Xingyu and sang a counter-tune with him.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan said, "I have seen Du Xingyu's plan, and I think it is worth your study. The task is not busy now, listen to him first."

Although Liu Yuan did not serve as the team leader or deputy team leader, Tao Ran could only shut up and obey when he spoke.

But everyone was a little dissatisfied and felt that Liu Yuan was taking care of his students.

Du Xingyu began to explain his plan. At the beginning, everyone looked at it with a leisurely attitude, but gradually, their expressions became more and more serious!

Putting aside my personal position and resume, the researchers and rocket engineers here are all people who are obsessed with research and exploration of the universe.

Du Xingyu's plan is well organized and well-founded. He even did various simulation situations to analyze. There was nothing wrong with using computer software to simulate experiments.

If you have such a detailed look, you will be a little difficult for a while.

Until the end of the reading, none of the experts in the conference room spoke first. They were thinking carefully, recalling the plan, trying to prove it reasonable and find out the shortcomings.

After a while, the conference room was silent. Liu Yuan took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "I have read Xiao Du's plan in advance and studied it. I personally haven't found any major problems. From a theoretical perspective, it can be implemented."

Team leader He Jingcheng sighed: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that this was done by a newcomer who just joined our research team!"

"If this plan can be implemented successfully, we can save the country tens of billions of dollars every year! my country's aerospace engineering will surely usher in great development!"

The cost of each rocket launch is hundreds of millions or even billions. If Du Xingyu's rocket recovery plan is successful, the rocket can launch it repeatedly, which is of great significance!

"I admit that this plan is indeed desirable!" Tao Ran expressed his attitude, "but the results of computer simulation experiments do not mean that they are feasible in actual operation."

He still had doubts about Du Xingyu's ability.

Everyone was talking, some supported and some doubted.

Seeing this, Du Xingyu spoke: "Everyone, as you said, whether the plan is feasible or not depends on actual experiments. I suggest that this plan be implemented on our Long March 5B launch vehicle that launches the Mars mission! Once successful, it will save more than one billion in launch costs for the first time!"

"Even if it is not successful, the plan I designed will not affect the rocket launch, and we will suffer minimal losses."

The rocket recycling plan designed by Du Xingyu is only effective after the rocket is successfully launched. Even without his recycling system, the rocket will naturally disintegrate and crash, becoming a pile of garbage.
