A genius tech empire

Wenchang Satellite Launch Base.

Yang Congong stood on the observation deck and looked at the launch tower not far away. The Blue Arrow rocket was already standing on the launch pad. From top to bottom, the rocket was printed with a five-star red flag, the word "Suzaku", a cartoon picture of Phoenix and "LANDSPACE".

The rocket is designed to be very slender, because there is no common booster, the whole body is like a bamboo pole.

Beside him are the three co-founders Ye Ruchu, Yang Xiaoyu, and Lan Jian, as well as several directors and managers of Country Garden's investment department.

The reason why people from the Investment Department of Country Garden are here is to start with Yang Congming’s acquisition of Blue Arrow. At that time, after he persuaded the three co-founders of Blue Arrow, Extreme Technology initiated an acquisition of Blue Arrow. Other investment institutions Withdrawal, but Country Garden refuses to withdraw.

When Yang Congming asked the reason, the answer he didn't expect to get was that in the future, Country Garden hoped to build a house in space or even an alien planet.At that time, Yang Congming was shocked. I was a good boy. Others have a global vision, but he is better, with a full universe vision.

Later, he injected 1 billion into Blue Arrow, thinking that Country Garden should be able to get out of trouble. Unexpectedly, this big dog family actually joined the vote.

"President Yang, this is our Suzaku II. It has a total length of 48.8 meters, a diameter of 3.35 meters, a take-off mass of 216 tons, a take-off thrust of 268 tons, a 200-kilometer low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 4 tons, and a 400-kilometer orbit carrying capacity of 2 tons. , 500 km sun-synchronous orbit with a capacity of 2 tons, commercial launch application orbit height is 200-1500 km.

It uses our self-designed'Tianque 12' 80-ton liquid oxygen methane engine and'Tianque 11' 10-ton liquid oxygen methane engine."Zhang Changwu introduced him.

"The load factor is a bit low!" Yang Congming said.

The load factor is the ratio of the carrying capacity to the take-off mass. According to the formula, the load factor of the 200-kilometer low earth orbit of the Suzaku 2 is only 1.82%.

Zhang Changwu also knows that his own rocket has a low load factor. He replied: "It is indeed relatively low. Our rocket body structure is designed more conservatively and we have not adopted advanced technologies such as a common bottom fuel tank. We want to realize whether it can be put into orbit safely. Problems, and then slowly iterate and improve to achieve the goal of increasing push and reducing weight."

"Okay!" Yang Congming praised. From their thoughts, we can see that they are quite practical, and they didn't ask me how to drop them from the beginning.

At this time, the broadcast sound came over, and the countdown began.

"10, 9, 8..."

Yang Congming quickly stopped talking and focused on the rocket.

Yang Xiaoyu worked part-time as a photographer, holding a DSLR and facing the rocket, ready to take pictures of wonderful moments.

Zhang Changwu also stopped talking. This is the second rocket launch of Blue Arrow since its establishment.The first time they failed, they regrouped, got ready to go, and returned here again, although they were confident about this launch.But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Yang Congming can't understand his feelings. For him, even if he fails, he will only lose tens of millions, which is not worth the "brain-controlled mouse" one day's turnover.If it fails, find out the reason and re-launch.

Throughout the history of human spaceflight, what was successful at the very beginning is not yet successful in summing up the failures again and again.

Qiaotou Park.

Located on the southwest side of the Wenchang Satellite Launch Base, it is one of the "eight best viewing spots" for rocket launches from Wenchang Base.In order to meet the viewing needs of citizens and tourists, the park has specially set up a rocket launch viewing platform and a 60 square meter LED display. At this time, both the viewing platform and the display are full of people.

"It's started, it's started." Someone reminded.

People yelled to the countdown on the radio, like a concert.

"7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

Following the announcement of the "ignition" command on the radio, red flames appeared around the bottom of the rocket. Along with deafening cries, puffs of white smoke sprayed out from the bottom of the rocket and quickly spread to the surroundings.

At the observation deck, Yang Congming felt stronger.

Because he was closer, the sound of the engine jetting gas was like thunder thunder in his ears, rumbling; the white smoke could not hide the light of the flame, and the red flame gave him a kind of hotness. sense.

The ear-splitting sound concealed the sound of the shutter, but it did not interrupt Yang Xiaoyu's mood to take the shocking scene before him.She held the camera, squinted at the camera screen, her fingers kept pressing and popping.

Yang Congming didn't disturb her when she saw her in such a good mood. He stared at the rocket. At this time, the rocket slowly lifted off the ground, slowly speeding up.As the rocket lifted off, white smoke continued to gush out, and the ground seemed to pass through a large area of ​​continuous detonation of bombs, a thick smoke.

"The radar is normal, the telemetry is normal, and the flight is normal."

"The radar is normal, the telemetry is normal, and the flight is normal."

The sound from the command hall kept coming, indicating that Suzaku II had successfully taken off.

Seeing the rocket lift off smoothly, all viewing points and viewers who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet were all relieved.At this time in Qiaotou Park, people were waving the five-star red flag with excitement.

Although this launch is from a private aerospace company, it is just an ordinary rocket into orbit test, but space enthusiasts have already regarded it as a part of the national aerospace and naturally hope that it can be successful.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Changwu dared not relax, he still stared at the sky closely.

In the last launch, the first and second stages worked normally, and the fairing separation was also normal. When the third stage was running, there was an abnormality and the launch failed.Although it was Suzaku 1 last time, and this time it was Suzaku II. The technology has been greatly improved, but he can't guarantee whether it can be successfully put into orbit.

The rocket accelerated very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, only an orange-yellow spot could be seen.By this time, the Rockets had nothing to look at. Yang Congming lowered his head and Yang Xiaoyu also stopped shooting.

"Haha, this time it depends on whether you believe me or not." She murmured while flipping through the photos.

There are four people in Yang Xiaoyu's dormitory. Before coming, she said she would go to Wenchang to watch the rocket launch, but the sisters didn't believe it.She couldn't say that she was the sister of the CEO of Xtreme Technology, so she had to take a photo to prove it.

How clever Yang Congming is, he soon figured out what she meant. He smiled and said, "So you took pictures for showing off, not because of hobbies?"

"Not really!" Yang Xiaoyu refused to admit.

She always likes photography, it must be because of her hobby, she must be.
