Global Monopoly of Technology

[10, 9, 8, 7...3, 2, 1 ignition]

The voice of the 01 commander resounded in the flight control center, and the audience also heard the word "ignition" in the background sound of the live broadcast screen.

At this moment, the tourists watching the scene in the peripheral security area exclaimed in unison. The launch site was filled with white fog. After waiting for a while, the stars and arrows slowly lifted into the sky. transmit over.

Watching live and watching in the live broadcast room are two completely different feelings. The feeling of the scene is unparalleled shock, not only feeling small as a human being, but also feeling great because human beings have created all this.

"Oh~~"

"Duck rush!"

The audience at the scene also burst into enthusiastic cheers. While the stars and arrows were flying, it also made everyone's heart agitated. Most of the tourists and audience who came to the scene were aerospace enthusiasts, and they were very young. This scene is the most emotional.

The biggest significance of the public live broadcast is this. It can inspire young people to care more about and even devote themselves to the aerospace industry. It also tells people with lofty ideals in China that if they don’t want to be satisfied with just being an audience, they can join Star Arrow International if they want to participate. .

At the scene, a girl looked at the shocking picture in front of her, her mouth opened into a goose egg, and after a while she asked her boyfriend, "What are those white mists? Why didn't the rocket launch flames first?"

Her boyfriend is obviously an aerospace enthusiast, and he explained without hesitation when he heard the female ticket's question:

"That's water vapor. Have you seen the two large shelves on the launch platform? The two large shelves are equipped with a high-flow water spray cooling and noise reduction system. When the rocket is launched, the temperature of the tail flame can reach nearly 3,000 degrees Celsius. Spend."

"Therefore, there must be a large-flow water spray cooling and noise reduction system to protect the entire launch platform. They will spray water before the rocket is launched, and the huge flame will release a lot of water vapor, forming what we see now. By the time the rocket was launched, the entire launch site was almost covered in white fog."

Girlfriend: "It's amazing~~"

[Telephoto capture target, telemetry signal is normal]

The rocket continued to accelerate steadily, and the real-time monitoring data was continuously transmitted to the flight control center. The staff present were staring at their respective data panels.

This launch experiment is not only for the recovery of the secondary rocket, the Star Arrow also carries a $237 million satellite of Bluestar Technology.

If the launch fails, the loss this time can be huge.

Luo Sheng would also be in pain for a while.

He also founded Bluestar Technology. Otherwise, after the satellite was blown up last time, it would definitely not have been handed over to Star Arrow International for the launch mission. If it was another company, I am afraid that it would have to find a traditional commercial satellite launch or SpaceX to complete it. After all, the success rate of the latter is as high as 94%, while the current launch success rate of Star Arrow International is only about 53%.

If SpaceX's rocket bombing was a $60 million fireworks show yesterday, if Star Arrow International followed suit, it would be a nearly $300 million fireworks show.

Old and expensive.

As time passes by, the real-time data in the live broadcast room shows the current altitude, speed and other information of the rocket.

When the rocket was launched for 2 minutes and 39 seconds, the real-time data showed that the altitude at the moment was 60.9 kilometers and the speed was 5906 kilometers per hour. The booster was separated under the witness of everyone.

[The booster is separated and the recovery starts]

There are five shots in the live broadcast room, and the background is the earth, which is picturesque from the perspective of the rocket.

All watched as the four boosters fell off the main body of the star and began to return to Earth.

And this also detonated the first sensation, and the interaction between the live broadcasts suddenly increased sharply.

"The booster's speed is suddenly increased when the booster is separated, and the speed of 100 kilometers in two seconds becomes the speed of 100 kilometers in one second."

"The rocket in the back just adjusted its posture is so handsome to me, it's like watching a sci-fi movie."

"Second-hand rockets are coming home."

"The earth is really round, now I believe it."

"What else can I say other than shit."

"The brilliance of the bullpen is brilliance, and the Star Arrow International is a real-time picture of the audience. The CZ series rocket launches are all simulated in 3D."

"The camera is too steady."

"It's really exciting. The happiest thing is that it's not the old beauty that is showing, but our company is showing."

...

At the same time, the four boosters have begun to enter the stage of recovery and return to the surface, and will eventually achieve fixed-point recovery on a dedicated landing platform at the launch site, but this is not the point, land recovery is already a fairly mature technology.

Today's highlight is the offshore platform recovery of the core-stage rocket.

At 3 minutes and 39 seconds, the height of the rocket officially exceeded 100 kilometers, and the speed reached 10721 kilometers per hour.

At this time, the audience saw the star and arrow under the camera separated again.

【Core level falls off】

The background voice in the live broadcast room cheered again while the announcer reported.

The main event is here, the core-stage rocket begins to return to the atmosphere.

The rocket continued to lift off, and time passed by minute by second. At 4 minutes and 11 seconds, the rocket reached an altitude of 121 kilometers and a speed of 11,238 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, the broadcast sound of the flight control center came from the live screen again.

【Throw the fairing】

Everyone is getting more and more excited, especially the engineers of the "Star Arrow" project team. They are really advancing every minute and every second, and they are one step closer to success.

The rocket continued to lift off steadily, and at the same time, the sub-shots of the four booster rockets were also changing. The audience had noticed that the background surface was getting bigger and bigger, and the outline of the surface was getting clearer and clearer.

This means that the booster is continuing to descend to the surface and is getting closer and closer to the ground.

At this time, it was not very obvious, and when the rocket was launched for 7 minutes and 35 seconds, the camera's perspective became a vertical bird's-eye view, and the landing platform on the ground was clearly seen.

At the same time, another high-definition still shot of the ground landing platform is given.

At 7 minutes and 50 seconds, the four boosters landed on the predetermined recovery platform in a smooth and orderly manner under the witness of everyone. The four boosters stood on the ground accompanied by dust, smoke and white mist.

At this moment, the background sound in the live broadcast room cheered excitedly again, and the barrage interaction gradually exploded.

"66666..."

"Look, Mama, the rocket flew upside down."

"Fuck it's too TM science fiction."

"Cow batch, I am amazed from the bottom of my heart."

"At this time, no one pays attention to the satellite 2333 of Bluestar Technology in the sky"

"Sci-fi as voluminous Mayer."

"Perch: I don't believe it."

"It doesn't look high, but the booster is actually a big thing."

"I really saw tears, who said that only Magnesium can master the core technology?"

"The Archbishop is mighty!"

...

Luo Sheng, who was in the flight control center, also paid attention to the live launch. As a bystander, he didn't say a word. On the surface, he was calm. However, in the current atmosphere, it was impossible to say that he was not infected. .

This launch experiment can be said to attract global attention, whether it is from the general public or from the scientific and technological, aerospace, business, and academic circles.

Yesterday, SpaceX's second-hand rocket was recovered from the battlefield, and it exploded less than 800 meters into the air, giving the world a $60 million fireworks show.

Today, Star Arrow International once again challenges the boundaries of human spaceflight technology. So far, everything is going smoothly, and the probability of success is getting bigger and bigger as every minute and every second passes.

Many people are looking forward to the historic moment, and there are also many people who are looking forward to the overturn of Star Arrow International, including Elon Musk who is secretly observing.

Only if Star Arrow International overturned, SpaceX will have a chance to regain the "first" title of second-hand rocket recovery.

At this moment, Luo Sheng left the flight control center and came to an empty corridor by himself, and immediately took out his mobile phone.

"Xiao Na, comprehensively monitor the entire network."

"As ordered!"

Xiaona responded excitedly, Luo Sheng returned to the flight control center again, and the next part is the main event. You have to prevent an old beauty from secretly teasing your butt legs and disturbing you. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. correct.

When the time came to 9 minutes and 35 seconds of lift-off, the cheers in the live broadcast room rose again. All the shots had been recovered by the core-stage rocket. Every audience watching the live broadcast noticed that the background of the screen was blue.

We all know that below is the vast Pacific Ocean.

And on the high seas around the non-Philippine coast, about 1,600 kilometers away from the launch center, a huge barge is staying on the calm sea. There is a huge and eye-catching ring mark in the middle of the landing platform. It is the logo trademark of Star Arrow International.

The sea barge appeared in the live broadcast room for the first time, and eagle-eyed viewers noticed a flash of footage showing a warship on a distant coastline.

At the same time, the deceleration of the core-stage rocket landing has begun.

The audience watched the live broadcast with bated breath. The mentality of the followers was different. Some expected success, others expected to roll over.

Everyone knows whether a new feat in the history of human space launch can be created next, and it will be revealed in less than half a minute.

...

(Ps: There is one more update in the evening, ask for tickets~~)
