Military Technology

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun had risen outside, and the entire base was already busy because of the launch mission.

Wu Hao and the others went to the restaurant to have a simple breakfast, and then came to the launch command and control hall.

At this moment, the entire hall is already in a state of battle. Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of Wu Hao's R\u0026D base launch command and control center, there is obviously a little more composure, calmness, orderliness, and calmness that only troops can have.

After saying hello to Wei Hongyu and Gao Jinguang, they came to the guest seat and sat down, waiting for the rocket to launch.

The launch is less than three hours away, and the rocket has already entered the pre-launch countdown preparation stage.

So, it is not suitable for him to disturb and affect everyone's work at this critical time. So I sat in the guest seat with Lin Wei and her family, and watched the entire launch process quietly.

The entire preparation stage before the launch can be said to be very boring, but whether it is Lin Wei, or family members, even Wu Tong, a little girl, can watch it quietly and interestingly, and ask about the pictures and data on the big screen from time to time What exactly does that mean.

As for Wu Hao, he was staring at these data closely, because what these data showed was the state of the rocket and the entire launch site at the moment.

"One hour to prepare!"

Just when everyone was a little tired from waiting, the voice from the radio in the lobby made Wu Hao, including the reporters at the scene, all of a sudden lifted their spirits.

The atmosphere at the scene also began to become serious. In the last hour before the launch, everyone was concentrating and watching the various data on the screen closely.

In the entire command and control hall, except for various broadcasts from time to time, there is no sound at all, and the quietness makes people uncomfortable.

As for Lin Wei, who was sitting in the command and control hall for the first time, and both parents, including Wu Tong, were very nervous at the moment, staring at the screen with full attention. Even Wu Tong, who had been chattering all the time, stopped talking.

"Thirty minutes to prepare, the pendulum is off!"

"The pendulum is disengaged,,, the pendulum is disengaged."

...

"Enter ten minutes to prepare."

"Five minutes to prepare!"

"three minutes!"

"Prepare in a minute!"

"Thirty seconds!"

"ten,,,"

"Three, two, one, fire up, take off!

"take off!"

boom! Through the monitoring screen on the big screen, everyone can see the Jianmu-2 modified rocket standing on the launch tower, with bursts of fire and white water vapor ejected from the tail.

"Procedural turn!"

clap clap clap...

Enthusiastic applause broke out in the entire command and control hall, and Wei Hongyu at the side immediately turned around and extended his hand to Wu Hao to congratulate him: "Xiao Wu, congratulations!"

Thank you, Director Wei! Wu Hao immediately shook Wei Hongyu's hand and thanked him.

Hahahaha, as long as it can take off smoothly, then more than half of the success has been achieved. Next, it's up to the Rockets themselves. Wei Hongyu explained to him with a smile.

Wu Hao nodded upon hearing this, and then continued to stare at the screen.

boom……

The huge roar of the rocket came, accompanied by vibrations, which made everyone laugh.

The shocking feeling of this launch can only be truly experienced by visiting the scene in person. Lin Wei and the parents on both sides couldn't help showing excited expressions. As for Wu Tong, he jumped up excitedly.

"The ground monitoring and control station of the base reported that the rocket tracking is normal and the telemetry signal is normal."

Clap, clap... There was another burst of applause, and this time it was the representatives of these satellite customers and the guests who were watching.

But Wu Hao and the others were not too excited, because the real test had just begun.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it and paying close attention.

The lobby radio rang again.

"First and second level separation!"

On the big screen, in the ground remote sensing monitoring screen, the figure of the rocket flying at high altitude flickered for a moment, and then a bright spot fell from the rocket and fell down with its tail.

"The ground measurement and control station of the base reported that the first and second stages have been successfully separated."

Clap, clap... There was another burst of applause in the hall, and this time the applause was even more enthusiastic than the previous two times.

The landing procedure of the first-stage rocket body starts!

Immediately, the screen on the big screen was split into two, the big screen was the rising launch vehicle, and the smaller screen was the landing process of the first-stage rocket body.

According to the ground telemetry monitoring report, the grid wings of the first-stage rocket body are opened normally, the landing attitude of the rocket is normal, and the top guide parachute has been thrown out.

clap clap clap...

With the end of the broadcast, there was another burst of applause in the hall. For the vast majority of people at the scene, it was the first time for them to witness the landing process of the first-stage rocket body at such a close distance, so they were also very excited.

As for Wei Hongyu and Gao Jinguang, their eyes were fixed on the screen even more tightly, and they never let go for a moment.

At this time, the live broadcast was also displayed on the TV screen hanging in front of guest seat 1. The TV screen is also divided into two, one side is the ascending rocket, and the other side is the landing first stage rocket.

According to the ground telemetry monitoring report, the parachute set of the first-stage rocket body has been thrown out, and the state is normal.

Clap, clap... This time, the applause in the hall was even more enthusiastic.

The normal opening of the main parachute group means that the recovery of the first-stage rocket body can basically be declared a success.

Although it has not yet landed, the entire landing process of the first-stage rocket body has passed the dangerous stage safely and smoothly.

Just as the first-stage rocket began to land slowly, on the other side, the latest news came from the live broadcast.

"Fairing off!"

"The ground monitoring and control station of the base reported that the fairing has been successfully opened and fell off."

clap clap clap...

Amid the applause, Yu Chengwu took up a very calm command: "The AB fairing is starting to land, is the helicopter recovery team in place?"

"Helicopter air recovery team reports that we have arrived at the scheduled airspace, waiting for the fairing to arrive."

At the same time, another picture appeared on the big screen. This picture was slightly shaking, and it was the monitoring picture set up on the helicopter.

In the picture in between, there are two domestic medium-sized helicopters with yellow special operation painting below, flying below.

There is a long hook on the chin of the two helicopters. When the fairing glides to the relevant airspace, the waiting helicopter will use the hook below to hang on the paraglider of the fairing for recovery. Allocation.

However, everyone's current field of vision is not here, but they are closely watching the landing process of the first-stage rocket body.

The camera also switched directly to the landing field side, and saw that the first-stage rocket body was dragging the main parachute group in the sky above the landing field, and it was falling rapidly.

When it was about to land, about a hundred meters above the ground, the main engine was ignited quickly, and the landing speed of the first-stage rocket body dropped immediately.

The huge rocket plume sprayed onto the landing field, blowing up dust and smoke, and the entire first-stage rocket landed smoothly on the landing field along with the smoke and dust. At the moment of landing, the parachute team had already run away smoothly.

clap clap clap...

All of a sudden, there was more enthusiastic applause in the entire hall, and even many people started to cheer.

The same picture is also transmitted to the public in real time for the first time through live broadcast.
