Chapter 58: The origin is to put satellites
The "Mozi" satellite originally scheduled for three days has been re-adjusted. After all, China is also a world leader in this aspect. It needs to change the launch method of the satellite, from the original one to nine launches.
Seeing that the "Mozi" that everyone worked so hard to research and design at a huge cost was just abandoned, it would be false to say that you don't feel bad, but since there are good ones, you still use bad ones, isn't that stupid?
So the name of "Mozi" became the one given by Origin Company.
By changing the original communication method and frequency, this satellite will become a powerful means for China to study quantum communication.
The Origin Company’s official website also announced a piece of news.
"Origin will launch eight quantum communication satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in three days."
The release of this news is tantamount to releasing a big Ivan in the scientific research community.
After all, it is the world's first quantum communication satellite, and according to the announcement from Origin Company, these eight satellites will provide quantum communication services to all of China!
As for the trending search for scarves that has become accustomed to being "topped", of course it was instantly capped. The scarf staff were happy and sad at the same time. They were happy that they had received bonuses, but sad that they had to work overtime again and would be almost dead from exhaustion.
It will collapse again.
Self-media, Tieba, and Toutiao will not let go of this major news.
This news broadcast spent nearly five minutes directly talking about Origin's quantum communication satellite, calling it "epoch-making technology."
This has attracted the attention of the whole people, and everyone's national pride has been completely lifted.
This is the first time that China has surpassed other countries in terms of satellites, and its technology surpasses everything else. How can we not make everyone excited!
More people are searching for information related to quantum communication, and Origin Company has once again introduced a wave of public opinion.
Foreign media are also a bit sour, and they are all questioning Origin Company. How can a mobile phone company develop a quantum communication satellite, which is a difficult problem in the world?
Even Citigroup, known as the leading country in science and technology, has yet to launch a commercial quantum communication satellite.
As for the foreign people, they are even more stunned. In the eyes of many of them, China is still the country in those documentaries, and their impression is still stuck in the 1980s. When they heard that China has an origin company that is the first in the world to develop quantum communication satellites, it is the first
The time is right to see if today is "April Fool's Day", which is the same as saying in China that an African country has developed a spaceship.
Foreign social software is also discussing this quantum communication satellite, and some people have even launched a poll. The number of options that think it is a rumor is as high as 68%, and 29% think it is a fake. In the end, only 2% think it is.
It's true, and if you think it's true, you just think it's a satellite for scientific research.
Citi, Fusang, Koryo, Europa Union... A bunch of countries with relatively advanced electronic technology have submitted applications to watch this satellite launch, and Citi has euphemistically called it "to ensure that China's launch is a satellite and not a satellite"
missile".
Only the "imaginative" Citigroup can come up with this, as if there is nothing you can do about China launching missiles.
August 5, 2016, sunny weather
Many people have come to the originally desolate Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, and everyone entered the satellite launch viewing platform in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the army.
The viewing platform could originally seat 500 people. Who knew that the Chinese people who learned the news would not miss this scene that would go down in history. They rushed from all over the country to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to watch this grand event.
The Long March-2D transport rocket, which is more than 30 meters long and more than three meters wide, is pointing towards the sky. It has already been docked at the launch pad, and the staff is once again conducting sub-system tests on the launch vehicle to test the performance matching between systems.
, general inspection and launch drill, etc.
After the inspection and testing work was completed, propellant was added to the launch vehicle and aiming and positioning was carried out.
At the same time, the ground service support department must conduct propellant testing to determine propellant filling parameters.
The meteorological department must provide the weather conditions in the launch site area and the high-altitude wind field above the launch site area before launch, as well as the meteorological conditions in the areas where the rocket flies.
So the launch of a rocket is not as simple as pressing a button and "whoosh" it takes off like a TV.
At this time, there were also many foreign "friends" on the launch viewing platform.
"Winston, what kind of trick do you think Origin is playing this time?" A man with blond curly hair dressed as a reporter asked casually, just like other foreign tourists who took photos without incident. But if at this time
If someone looks at the pictures he took, he will know that all he took were Chu Feng and others entering the control center.
The man named Winston is also dressed as a reporter. He has chestnut hair and dark blue eyes, which makes him look very handsome, but his aquiline nose makes his whole temperament a little gloomy. He answered smoothly when he heard his partner's words.
: "Harry, I don't know what the origin company is doing, but have you seen their rockets?"
Harry was a little stunned after hearing this. Why did he mention the rocket?
Seeing Harry's expression, Winston was also helpless. He was also a Citigroup agent, so why was there such a big gap?
Winston explained with some pride, "This is China's Long March 2D rocket, which can only transport about 3,000 kilograms of satellites. According to the news, nine satellites will be transported directly this time. You should know this."
"
Harry is not stupid. Winston understands. What Winston means is that each of the nine satellites does not weigh more than 350kg!
This is basically a micro-satellite, but what Origin Company announced is a quantum communication satellite! Even Citigroup dare not say that it has made such a small quantum satellite, let alone a person who makes mobile phones? This is simply the biggest joke of this century.
"If it's not a quantum satellite, then why is the news released? There must be an explanation to everyone in the end. You can't go up to the satellite and tell everyone that this is not the case, right? A rocket launch costs tens of millions of Citi coins, Origin Company
Is this money that has nothing to do with it?" Harry's exaggerated expression attracted everyone's attention, but when he saw that he was dressed as a reporter, he didn't care.
"Maybe an accident can happen? For example, if the rocket launch fails, then everyone will have nothing to say. After all, if it doesn't go up to the sky, it's not a satellite, right?"
Winston teased Harry quietly.
"Then Chu Feng can only hope for this, otherwise it will be very embarrassing." Harry also laughed in agreement.
"But if we fail, we won't be safe here anymore!" Harry's words made Winston's face change. He had a crow's mouth.
At this time, Chu Feng and others have arrived at the launch command center of the rocket, where the ignition operation and subsequent satellite tracking will be carried out.
Origin Company also sent some technicians and equipment to prepare for the final signal docking and experiments on the quantum communication satellite.
Chu Feng and Alita arrived at the command center. Later, Chu Feng would personally press the rocket launch button.
Not long after, the launch pad's intercom came to the staff to summarize the situation: "The rocket inspection work has been completed and the countdown phase can be entered."
"The command center has received it and is counting down to the last hour and minutes to prepare."
After one hour of preparation for the launch, all work at the launch site will be operated by the ground test launch control equipment according to time procedures.
At the same time, after receiving the command, all departments and units will enter their pre-launch work procedures according to the unified clock provided by the time unified service system.
At this time, people from various departments were carrying out the final work in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere in the command center became solemn. After all, this satellite launch was very important!
No. 1 is also paying attention to this satellite launch, which makes everyone feel a big stone in their hearts. A small mistake will cause irreparable losses.
An hour passed quickly. The rocket went in for a minute to prepare. The system on the rocket was powered from the ground to the battery on the rocket. After a 10-second self-check, the cable connector automatically fell off, and the cable swing rod left the launch vehicle and swung to the position.
Predetermined position. At this time, except for a cable connected to the ground through a detachable plug at the bottom of the launch vehicle, all other plugs connected to the ground have been completely detached.
Thirty seconds before launch, the launch site's measurement and control system and various local measurement and control tracking stations started to activate.
At the end of the ten seconds countdown, everyone was looking at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not show any timidity. He walked to the launch pad, opened the transparent glass cover of the launch button, and reached out to put down the red launch button.
"The countdown to launch begins..." A huge voice spread through the loudspeaker throughout the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Everyone in the command center was waiting with bated breath. At this time, everyone in the auditorium who heard the countdown also stopped talking, waiting quietly for this historic moment.
"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." At seven seconds, the high-speed cameras around the launch pad started filming and began to record the live scene of the rocket igniting and taking off.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"Zero! Ignition"
Hearing the zero countdown, Chu Feng pressed the launch button.
Suddenly, white air waves instantly filled the launch pad, and a huge roar sounded again at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
When the rocket left the launch pad, the only cable disconnection plug still connected at the bottom was pulled out, and the wired control between the rocket and the ground was completely interrupted.
Chu Feng retracted his hand and leisurely watched the rocket slowly taking off on the surveillance screen.
Chapter completed!
