Chapter 526: Sprinkling Flowers on the Floor(1/2)

To be honest, Mu Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw Muske's media interview reply "People are king first".

This is what Muske's personality is. Sometimes he is very proud and may even dance to celebrate.

Mu Yang saw the video of this guy dancing sternly in his previous life, and he really wanted to kick him.

But to be honest, if someone has that strength, he has the hard power and has to accept it.

His secretary Chen Jiajia saw the chairman laughing and thought he was angry, so she said, "Chairman, this Muske is too arrogant, and many netizens on the Internet denounce him. However, Chairman, you are a big shot, no

You have to be angry about such a person.”

"I'm very happy if you don't get angry." Mu Yang replied with a smile after hearing this.

"oh."

After Chen Jiajia finished speaking, she put down the documents and left the chairman's office. In fact, she didn't believe it very much, and the chairman must be angry.

However, she can't control such things, she is just a secretary.

In fact, she is not sure about the company's rocket research project.

...

On the Internet, multiple media analyzed and reported the Falcon 9 developed by Muske's SpaceX company, one of them wrote:

[Falcon 9 has a height of 4 meters and a diameter of 7 meters. After filling the fuel, the mass is 505 tons. The payload to LEO is 1 tons and the payload to GTO is 85 tons.

It is a second-stage rocket with a thrust of more than 510 tons in the first stage and a second-stage of 45 tons.

Xinghai Group's Rockets have not been announced yet, but judging from the photos taken secretly, the shapes and sizes of the two rockets are not much different.

Judging from the previous tone of Xinghai Group, the developed rocket thrust will not be too poor.

However, according to relevant insider information, SpaceX has already initially mastered the recycling technology, so it announced its Starlink plan.

In the past few days, Xinghai Group has not made any noise. It should be undergoing large-scale assembly preparations to pilot the ignition...]

[According to Mu Yang's previous personality, SpaceX's announcement should have exploded in a few days, but this time it did not, which is confusing. It seems that the progress of Xinghai Group's rocket project is not going well.

After all, it has just been established.】

The analysis of this media is reasonable and well-founded. Xinghai Group is indeed undergoing large-scale assembly. It has been assembled and is ready to be moved to the launch site.

March 1.

The Xinghai Group Starry Sky One rocket was moved to the launching yard launcher and began to replenish fuel.

That night, Mu Yang took his superyacht to the rocket launch base. The next morning, the yacht arrived at the dock. Mu Yang rested on the yacht for one night.

The next morning, Mu Yang had breakfast made by the chef. At 8 o'clock in the morning, he took a bus to the rocket launch base and the control center command.

Ye Fan is the project technical manager of Rocket Engine and the general manager of the space exploration technology project team.

After Mu Yang saw Ye Fan, he asked him about the preparations on the scene.

Ye Fan handed Mu Yang a few pages of information: "Chairman, this is the pilot ignition test process."

"Um."

Mu Yang took over the test process information, also called the test outline, which listed what to do first, who is in charge, progress and time nodes.

The specific procedures or work steps of each step will not be explained in detail in this information.

This kind of information was made by the project team. Mu Yang did not interfere in these details, but just took a look at it.

He asked that when doing the experiment, he had to prepare the test outline, but it was not enough for his brain to know it.

When experimenting, even if you are familiar with the process, it is easy to miss it.

Today's ignition test is just launched to an altitude of one thousand meters, then fine-tune it at this height of 1000±20 meters for ten seconds, and finally recover it, requiring it to land at a designated location.

One thousand meters is not high, but from rising to one thousand meters, it is actually about 25 seconds.

It cannot be too low, otherwise it may hit the launch tower when landing.

If the vertical height range is too large and the fluctuation speed is too fast as the fuel continues to decrease and the fuel is constantly adjusted, the downward speed will not be controlled well when landing, the force that hits the ground will be too large, and recycling may fail. During manned tests

Astronauts can't withstand too much impact.

In order to ensure the control of impact force during recycling, they need to conduct continuous experiments and master fine-tuning techniques.

Since it was a test, the fuel was not full to avoid explosions in an accident. It was just a supplement of more than 100 tons of fuel, which was enough for the test to use.

Before this, they had conducted countless tests on the rocket engine and had mastered the fine adjustment of thrust, but they did not conduct large assembly tests with the rocket main body, and the difficulty was completely different.

The fine-tuning of thrust can only be controlled through the system, and the most fear of signal delay is that it is most afraid of.

After Mu Yang learned about the situation, he solemnly asked Ye Fan:

"Manager Ye, how are you doing?"

"Chairman, everything is ready, waiting for the ignition test." Ye Fan replied respectfully, "It was drizzling this morning, and dark clouds accumulated in the sky, which may have some impact."

His tone was a little excited, nine points nervous, and very stressed. It took more than a year of hard work to see today.

The last time the Rocket Engine Spark 1 ignition test failed, it made him very embarrassed.

After the chairman left, they retested many times after a while. The test results were no longer a problem and were considered successful, but the chairman was not present.

If the Starry Sky One ignition test fails this time, then he will be in a bad mood. There is no mouse hole to let him get in.

But the weather is not very good today, and it is the misty and rainy season in March, but the chairman told him in the morning that if we cannot ignore the climate and launch, we will not be able to achieve our goal.

Moreover, it rains and cumulus clouds in the sky. If there are satellites in the sky, then it will not be very clear, just as he wants.

Well, Ye Fan was helpless and was a little worried about launching at this time.

The sky was gray and it rained, and it felt like it was a sign of discomfort.

He was not superstitious, but he was really nervous at this time.

Not to mention him, so are other colleagues in the Control Center.

"As planned, it's not better to drizzle." Mu Yang said relaxedly.

"OK!"

The chairman's order was forced to implement.

At this time, through the large screen on the control center, you can see that the Starry Sky One rocket has been fixed on the launch platform, rather than on the test bench.

【Starry Sky One

Total length: 860 meters

Wingspan: 50 meters

The diameter of the cylinder is 7 meters...】

From a distance, there is a towering Optimus Prime, which is covered with silvery white on the outside, with four big characters "Starry Sky One" and the LOGO "XH" of Xinghai Group. The top square position is on the fairing.

Big bright red flag painted.

Four big words, it tells people all over the world that this belongs to a company's launch rocket.

It belongs to the glory of Xinghai Group!

Mu Yang was also moved when he saw these four big words, which belonged to him.

So, when he came, he wanted to witness the moment when Xinghai Group took off.

Engineering and technicians from various professions conducted the final inspection and operation of the rocket before taking off, and then evacuated the site, waiting passionately for the arrival of the launch time.

At about nine o'clock, Mu Yang learned about the similar preparations on the scene and issued an order:

"Manager Ye, prepare to start lighting the fire."

Ye Fan heard the chairman's order and looked solemn, shouting to the testers:

"Check the launch site!"

"Report, checking is over, everything is normal."

"Check fuel condition, air pressure condition..."

...

After ordering one by one, Ye Fan watched the inspection and showed that the rocket system, launch field system, etc. were normal and good.

Report everything is normal, you can proceed to the next step, shouting solemnly: "The countdown begins."

On the screen, the countdown begins to be displayed.

Various tracking and measuring equipment on the field are turned on, high-speed cameras, tape recorders and other recording equipment are started.

When "10" appeared, the encyclopedia researchers at the control center clenched their fists.

9!

8

...

The mechanical reading sounds rippled in the control center, and everyone's faces were very solemn.

1

When the moment he finished shouting "1", Ye Fan shouted: "Light!"
