Chapter 251 Satellite Launch Is Set, One More Reason to Envy the People of Xiang City
In the city of progress, the manufacturing height of rockets in the rocket launch tower is getting higher and higher.
People in the distance can even see engineers like ants on it, with machines soldering something with special solder, emitting white flashes.
In the laboratory, Ma Tian and Tianji are also conducting the final simulation calculations.
On the screen, the 3D animation rocket model that has been built, as the countdown in the upper left corner ends, the right bracket begins to automatically detach, and the bottom of the rocket begins to ignite.
With the birth of a large amount of white gas, a rocket with a blue flame at the bottom rises slowly.
The rocket will continue to accelerate and take off until it reaches the middle layer of the earth at an altitude of 58km, and the small booster rocket on the side will detach.
At an altitude of about 110km, the bottom rocket booster begins to detach and automatically begins to return to the surface.
At this time, the screen is also divided into two parts. The left screen tracks the automatic return of the bottom rocket booster, that is, the recovery; the right screen tracks the rocket that continues to be launched into space.
At this time, the speed of the rocket flying into space has reached an astonishing 14,768 kilometers per hour. Driven by the second-stage rocket booster, it will continue to fly to an altitude of 130km and complete its mission to launch the 12 satellites above.
Like a fairy scattering flowers, 12 satellites with small rockets are scattered in space. These 12 satellites will reach a specific orbit and operate under their respective bottom thrusters.
On the right screen, the space satellite began to simulate operation, and Ma Tian also began to focus on the left screen.
On the screen, the bottom thruster of the returning rocket began to fall towards the ground under the action of gravity.
In order to reduce the high temperature and vibration caused by atmospheric friction, the refrigerant inside the bottom thruster of the rocket also began to operate on the surface of the material. At the same time, the bottom thruster ignited again and began to exert a reaction force to slow down the acceleration.
The height of the bottom thruster of the rocket was constantly decreasing, and soon it reached an altitude of less than 50 kilometers and entered the stratosphere.
The altitude of 10 km to 50 km belongs to the stratosphere. The airflow at this altitude is relatively gentle, and the amount of water vapor and dust is very small.
At this stage, the side wings in the bottom thruster of the rocket will be unfolded, and the machine inside will calculate its landing position through the BDS positioning system (Beidou navigation) on the body, and automatically change its landing direction through the side wings and engines.
As the altitude continues to drop, it will reach the troposphere. At this time, the sensors on the body will frantically transmit the interference airflow and other influencing factors encountered to the console of the bottom thruster, and constantly micro-manipulate the fuselage until it finally arrives at the predetermined landing site.
About a minute later, the bottom thruster landed steadily at the City of Progress Launch Center, and the simulation experiment passed.
Tianji's voice came at the right time: "Mr. Ma Tian, this is the 267th successful simulation. We have conducted 30 different climate interference experiments, considered 120 influencing factors, and finally all the simulations were successful.
After my calculation, the probability of our successful satellite launch is 99.9%, and the probability of successful recovery is 98.3%."
"Tianji, record the simulation experiment data!" Ma Tian's expression did not change when he heard the high success rate mentioned by Tianji.
No matter how successful the simulation is, it is not as good as the real experiment. Whether it is a real cat or a fake cat, it still depends on whether it can catch the mouse.
"Notify everyone. From now on, the satellite project team will implement a 72-hour standby plan. All people are not allowed to go home, meet any outsiders, or idle people! All satellite project personnel are on standby at the company!" Ma Tian ordered Tianji.
"Okay, Mr. Ma Tian!" Tianji replied.
At the same time, all the engineers on duty also heard Tianji's emotionless broadcast voice. They knew that the last critical moment was coming.
Within 72 hours, they will stay at the satellite launch center and conduct the final inspection of the rocket until it takes off.
Ma Tian also told Hua Shuwen the exact date of the launch. This date must be told to the country, and even to the world, for fear of misunderstanding.
"Three days later?" Hua Shuwen was also a little surprised. Ma Tian's completion speed was much faster than he thought. If he remembered correctly, Ma Tian called him to apply for the qualification to launch a satellite last time, which was three months ago?
"Are you ready?" He confirmed again.
"Yes, we are ready, and now everyone has entered a silent state!"
"Okay, we will also go to the scene to observe the day after tomorrow!"
After a few brief words, the two hung up the phone. Hua Shuwen knew that Ma Tian should be under great pressure now. What they can do here is to try not to interfere and support silently.
The satellite launch plan was scheduled for the 18th. On the 16th, the news media reported this news.
"Tianyu Xinghai, a famous private enterprise in my country, will launch a private satellite rocket TY-1 at 10 am on the 18th at the Satellite Launch Center in Jinbu District, Xiang City..."
The media is to inform the domestic people and boost the confidence of the people, and to announce it to other countries in the world.
The domestic people are naturally excited, especially the people of Xiang City, who can watch the feat of rocket launch live again.
People in other provinces or other cities are still very envious of the people in Xiang City.
Although Xiangshi was also a first-tier city in the past, it only had a good tourism industry, and its per capita GDP and development were just so-so, barely breaking through the trillion mark.
In recent years, with the rise of Tianyu Xinghai, it seems like a cheat, and the per capita GDP has been rising. After all, Tianyu Xinghai pays nearly 100 billion in taxes a year. Of course, because it is not listed, no specific information is released, and only people in the tax system know the specific figures.
However, the average salary of Tianyu Xinghai's employees is frighteningly high. It is recognized that engineers often have an annual salary of millions, which cannot be hidden.
With such a high salary, naturally, the consumption level is directly raised to a higher level.
This is just Tianyu Xinghai. With the rise of Tianyu Xinghai, other companies are also developing rapidly, such as Tianyu Xinghai's suppliers and partners, which are also taking off.
Last year, Xiangshi's GDP exceeded 2.6 trillion.
Only Director Su knows that Tianyu Xinghai alone contributed 1.2 trillion in revenue GDP, not counting other related companies.
It can be said that Tianyu Xinghai accounts for half of Xiangshi's GDP.
GDP is one aspect, and there are many reasons why people in other regions envy the people of Xiangshi, such as low housing prices.
Perhaps many people wonder, why is the housing price low when the per capita GDP is so high?
There are many factors, and two of them may be prominent:
1. Tianyu Xinghai pays a lot of taxes, and the government is not short of money, so there is no need to sell land.
2. Tianyu Xinghai often builds houses by itself, and sells houses cheaply to destroy the market, causing local real estate manufacturers to be killed.
In addition to GDP and housing prices, another envy is that they can watch Tianyu Xinghai's technological performances up close, including Baidi, "Tornado Project", and now rockets.
Therefore, the people of Xiangshi are more face-saving in front of the whole country.
