Everyone unanimously agreed to modify the original test flight plan directly into a launch mission. The first mission of the Yishen launch vehicle will be to transport one hundred miniature quantum communication satellites to the established orbit!
China, Yellow Sea, deep space exploration space mission sea launch silo.
This is a rocket launch platform built on the offshore sea. Compared with land launch, sea launch is safer and has a vast uninhabited area. It should be noted that after launching a carrier rocket at sea, the rocket body is more difficult to recover.
If the rocket body fails to be recovered and falls into the sea, and the engine becomes waterlogged and is scrapped, it is equivalent to a direct failure of the mission!
No matter from any aspect, this is an extremely difficult task.
On the transport cargo ship, the body of the Yishen rocket was divided into several sections and will be assembled here.
There are only two weeks left before the scheduled launch date of February 3rd. All the staff are busy nervously. They need to make final inspections of the launch platform, rocket, and micro quantum communication satellite, and then assemble them.
Launch on the set date.
…
February 3rd has finally arrived.
Today's weather is as planned, with sunny wind and clear clouds, which is very suitable for rocket launches.
The domestic and foreign media also rushed to the Maritime Rocket Launch Center early to prepare for live broadcasts and on-site interviews. Countless people were paying attention to this rocket launch!
It will determine the fate of deep space technology, quantum computing, and communications in the next few years.
In the satellite launch command center, everyone is ready. At 20:45 tonight, the first Yishen heavy-lift rocket will carry one hundred miniature quantum communication satellites to space orbit.
"Hello everyone, I am Yin Qiu'an, a reporter from xx TV station. I am exploring the maritime satellite launch base in deep space. It is now 18:15 in the evening, and the Yishen heavy-lift carrier rocket of Deep Space Technology is due to be launched in two and a half hours.
"The reporter is conducting live interviews through the TV station.
"We were fortunate enough to interview the main person in charge of this project, Chief Engineer Zhan Haoran."
"Hello, Mr. Zhan, everyone is very interested in this Yishen launch vehicle. Could you please briefly introduce it?" Yin Qiu'an handed over the microphone.
"Okay." Zhan Haoran said, "This time the Yishen-1 heavy-duty launch vehicle developed by the Deep Space Exploration Technology Company is China's first launch vehicle with a payload capacity of one hundred tons. If it can be successfully launched today, it will also
It will become the rocket with the strongest carrying capacity in the history of world aviation!”
"Its thrusters are equipped with a total of thirty-six Hercules rocket engines designed by the Deep Space Exploration Jet Propulsion Laboratory..."
On television and online live broadcast platforms, many viewers are already paying attention to this rocket launch.
At Meng Xiaobai's house, his father Meng Lei and his mother Tang Biyun turned on the smart screen to play relevant content early in the morning, but they haven't turned it off yet.
There are also many guests at their house today, including uncles and aunts, cousin Meng Hua and his wife Zhang Qiao, Meng Xiaobai's uncle Meng Jianzhang and others. They are here just to join in the fun, and at the same time they also care about the Rockets.
The matter of launching.
Today, Meng Xiaobai's career has become the top priority of this small family. Each of them has achieved achievements they never thought of before, and all of this relies on Meng Xiaobai, so everyone pays great attention to this matter.
"I'm going to burn incense." Tang Biyun said, "Let the Bodhisattva bless this rocket to be successfully launched."
"I'll go too!" said the eldest aunt.
Meng Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Is this matter also under the control of Bodhisattvas?"
"Haha, that's a good vision." Meng Jianzhang laughed.
Meng Lei continued to watch the interview and analyzed: "Listen to this expert, this rocket is incredible. Just to design and manufacture it cost more than one billion, and the cost of this launch has also reached 700 million!"
"My dear, this is really a waste of money!" Uncle Mengshan said with emotion, "Xiao Bai is really promising!"
"I said you are all too anxious?" Meng Hua complained, "There are still two and a half hours!"
…
At 19:30, in Gao Yuan's residence in Pengcheng, two women were sitting on the sofa, watching news interviews that they had not been interested in before.
"Xiaoyue, call me later at 8:30. I'm going to take a nap for a while. I'm too tired today." Gao Yuan said to Su Lianyue.
"It's okay, Sister Yuan, please go to sleep. I'll call you when the time comes." Su Lianyue's eyes were still staring at the big screen, which was now showing footage of the Yishen launch vehicle.
This big guy is full of charm at the moment.
"The launch must be successful!" Su Lianyue prayed silently in her heart. This is Brother Xiaobai's hard work. For this matter, he has been staying at the Deep Space Exploration Technology Company for more than half a year.
She and Gao Yuan had hardly seen Meng Xiaobai for ten months!
…
"I said, Lao Pan, just watch the live broadcast, you are actually connected to the meeting, and I hung up on the video with my girlfriend!" Ruan Song complained to Pan Yu in the holographic video network conference room of the management of Deep Space Technology.
"My girlfriend can make videos anytime, but this is the only live broadcast of the launch!" Pan Yu said with a smile, "Besides, I can understand if others don't watch. This is an important moment for our two companies!"
The rocket was successfully launched, a global quantum communication network was established, and Mars intelligent technology and building block games were definitely the big beneficiaries.
"Of course I'm watching!" Ruan Song said.
"This rocket has a carrying capacity of 100 tons. It can launch a hundred rockets at a time. So it can be launched a hundred times?" Lu Xin joined the online conference room.
"As long as it succeeds, it doesn't take a hundred times." Qiao Jian said, "The carrying capacity must be improved in the future!"
"Our success or failure depends on this launch!" Huo Qixiang said with emotion. If quantum computers are to be widely used, it depends on whether the quantum communication network can be successfully established.
Naturally, everyone is happy if it succeeds this time; if it fails, Deep Space Technology will be unable to breathe for half a year, and we don’t know when the next launch will be.
…
Foreign companies and institutions from various countries are paying attention to this launch.
"I really hope their plan can go smoothly." Professor Reed, from the Institute of Quantum Computers in Germany, is watching the global broadcast.
"You really dare to bet! We don't even need to do a test flight, we just go ahead with the launch mission." Sun Yi, an island nation, looked at the picture and felt inexplicably. When he was young, he had such courage and pride.
"I hope our friends can launch smoothly." Senior executives of British telecommunications companies are paying attention to this launch.
"Today, only explosions can make me happy!" The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission of the United States looked at the live broadcast with a gloomy face.
"This damn plan must fail!" Someone from the IEEE Association cursed.
