After the plan was announced, there was a heated debate. Everyone agreed that Meng Xiaobai's goals were too "ambitious" and any one of them would take ten years to develop.
However, Meng Xiaobai overcame the public opinion and divided the tasks into groups and individuals, requiring everyone to only complete their own tasks.
Everyone originally thought it was an impossible task, but after seeing that the task assigned to their group was not as unattainable as it seemed, they agreed.
In fact, in the past few months, Meng Xiaobai and Jin Mu have led the R&D staff to gradually solve the most difficult part. Changes in the plan are inevitable.
Faster than them is the manufacturing of quantum communication satellites. The communication technology of Deep Space Technology is already top-notch in the world, and with the help of robots and related technical materials, a new miniature quantum communication satellite was quickly developed and began to
Produced in the factory.
This quantum communication satellite will orbit in low-Earth orbit and form an ultra-high-frequency quantum communication network with other quantum communication satellites and ground communication base stations.

On December 5, Deep Space Exploration Technology Co., Ltd. announced: "Due to the need to update the plan, the launch vehicle test flight originally scheduled for January 1 has been canceled and postponed to February 3."
As soon as this news came out, the deep space "blacks" were excited.
How many people like you, there will be how many people hate you. The same is true for Meng Xiaobai and the company Deep Space Technology.
In the past, deep space fans had always had the upper hand in online public opinion. After months of frustration, the deep space blacks finally found an opportunity.
Internet celebrity "Noah" immediately published a new update, saying: "As I expected, this plan is a lie. I think they are exaggerating when they set January 1st. How can the development of rockets be so fast? Now it is postponed for a month
, I waited until next month and found excuses to decline again."
Online media also reported this matter. The media analyzed: "Although the Deep Space Exploration Company's rocket this time has the help of senior brothers in the field of Chinese aerospace and aviation, the Aerospace Science and Industry and the Launch Vehicle Research Institute, it is not as difficult as Deep Space Technology imagined."
It’s that simple.”
"The news we have learned so far is that the research and development of Deep Space Technology's launch vehicle is not going well, and the crude oil plan has been completely rejected. It is not yet known whether the new plan can be carried out smoothly. It is very likely that the rocket will not be launched on February 3.
The test flight can be successful.”
Fans of deep space technology are naturally deeply regretful, while a large number of people at home and abroad are happy and excited. They wish that the rocket could not be built.
Because of this project, the current investment funds of Deep Space Technology almost occupy the profit margin of the entire group. A failure will be a huge blow to Deep Space Technology.

"Are you sure it's correct?" In the Jet Power Laboratory, Meng Xiaobai, Jin Mu and a group of developers were testing their new rocket engine.
The Hercules rocket engine was designed and completed by Meng Xiaobai and Jin Mu with the help of Bruce Wayne's information.
Its theoretical thrust is more than five times stronger than the previous Honghu rocket engine!
"Confirmed!" Jin Mu nodded seriously. The current technology is no longer something he can tinker with casually. Even he must take it seriously.
"Start simulation operation!" The staff immediately opened the simulation operation system. This is a specially written intelligent system that can simulate the operating status of rocket engines and even rocket launch simulations.
"Thirty percent of the process... Eighty-nine percent of the process... The simulation is completed, and the simulation results are normal." The results of the simulation system gave everyone a shot in the arm.
"Start physical testing experiments immediately."
There was a small problem in the physical test experiment, and Meng Xiaobai and others spent several days to solve it.
At the same time, the rocket body of the new Wingshen launch vehicle, designed based on the thrust and numerical values of the Hercules rocket, has also begun to be manufactured.
This time, its maximum take-off weight will rise to 1,800 tons, nearly double the previous 890 tons!
Likewise, it has more engines installed in its thrusters, with a total of thirty-six Hercules rocket engines installed.
The launch cost of this rocket body has soared nearly three times, reaching 2 billion Chinese dollars. This is a very bad number. All space agencies and commercial rocket companies are striving to make launch costs lower.
The high launch cost of the Yishen rocket will greatly hinder the progress of the project - unless their rocket body recovery technology can succeed!
If the rocket body recycling technology is successful, the main parts of the rocket can be reused, and the average launch cost will be directly reduced to one to two hundred million Chinese coins!
…
Rocket Recovery Technology Project Department, this is a huge department, with the team from China Launch Vehicle Research Institute as the main force.
"Using parachute recovery is currently the most feasible solution, but there are too many problems with parachute recovery of liquid rockets. The landing point is uncontrollable and can easily cause safety accidents. Secondly, parachute recovery may cause damage to the rocket body, and the maintenance cost after recovery is actually higher than
Launch costs are higher!”
Kaneki is giving lectures to the team and guiding them in their research directions.
"So we have to use engine deceleration and control technology to recover the rocket body - this technology is very unfamiliar to us."
"We will encounter several major problems here, including repeated engine ignition, engine vector control and vector thrust control... Use grid wings to maintain the engine's leading posture and enter an aerodynamic stable state..."
With Jinmu's explanation, the implementation of this technology became feasible, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Meng Xiaobai also specifically asked the inspection team to use a three-dimensional scanner to strictly inspect every part, from screws to rocket side panels, after completing routine inspections, to ensure that there will be no quality problems.
As the scheduled launch date of the rocket is getting closer, many domestic and foreign media have begun to ask Deep Space Exploration Technology Company whether the rocket can successfully test flight.
"It's not just a test flight! The cost is too high!" Meng Xiaobai discussed with the experts, "For the first time, we will directly carry out the launch mission!"
"Isn't this too risky?" Zhan Haoran said, "We have never tested a rocket with such a large carrying capacity."
"In rocket launch, every step is to create history." Meng Xiaobai said, "Besides, the cost of test flight and mission execution is not much different. Compared with the launch cost of rocket, the manufacturing cost of micro-quantum satellite is much less. If the launch fails, we
The loss will not be much. But if the launch is successful, it can save us a lot of capital and time."
