God of Rebirth Trader

Dachan Island is located in Qianwan Bay, west of Nanshan District, Huanan City, Guangdong Province. It is the second largest island in Huanan City.

The geographical shape of the entire island is like a shovel, so together with the adjacent small island, it is collectively called

"Da Chan Island". The area is under the jurisdiction of Nanshan District. On the coast of Da Chan Island, there is a large grassland that has not yet been opened. It is very desolate. There are no buildings. There is only one called

The large-scale sand quarry at the "Zhongwen Sand Field" was dedicated to providing building materials for the construction of South China City. But now, those sand quarries, sand piles, tall conveyor belts and flying gravel have all disappeared.

Instead, there is a wide and flat land. The rocket launch base planned by Infinity Company will be built here.

As a rocket launch base, its location selection is very important, and you cannot just choose any place.

It requires a low latitude, a high altitude, and a good launch window. At a low latitude, the centrifugal force of the Blue Star's rotation can be used to save energy consumption of the vehicle.

A high altitude can shorten the distance between the ground and the air. Only by having these two things can the success rate of rocket launch be improved.

In addition, it also requires fine weather and small temperature changes throughout the year, so that there can be more suitable weather for launches throughout the year and ensure that multiple batches of continuous launches can be launched.

The only drawback is that there is no canyon terrain here, which will increase the difficulty of arranging various testing equipment.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The economic development of South China City is too fast now, and the areas near the coast have basically been developed. It is extremely difficult to find a place that has both a coast and a large area of ​​solid land.

After many investigations, we finally acquired the sand quarry on the recommendation of the municipal department, filled in part of the sea area, and connected Dachan Island to the coast of the sand quarry, so that it could barely be used as a rocket launch base.

Otherwise, they will have to consider choosing a location in other provinces and cities. The latitude of South China City is only 24 degrees, which is very ideal in terms of geographical location.

The average annual temperature is about 25 degrees, and the wind is relatively gentle most of the time. October to May of the following year are the best launch seasons. The other months are not ideal, and typhoons need to be taken into consideration.

The headquarters of Infinity Company is not too far from the launch base. As long as there is no traffic jam during rush hours, it only takes about half an hour's drive.

When representatives from the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the General Assembly Department arrived in South China City, it was already April 1st. There were still six days until Infinity Company's first rocket launch.

At this time, the entire launch site was under complete martial law and was not open to the public. Even the sea was patrolled by fishery officers at all times.

Not far from the shore, you can see some brand-new buildings that were recently built, as well as some people wearing blue overalls.

These people are all technical personnel of Infinity Company. Surrounding the launch center, there are supporting hotels, supermarkets and other living facilities. Like some large military industrial units, it implements a large and comprehensive closed management.

Chen Weidong, Chen Jie, Lin Zeju, and Director Li got out of the black car and walked side by side slowly, followed by some municipal staff and TV reporters.

At this time, it was only around six o'clock in the morning, and the sun had not yet fully come out, but there was already some light, reflecting the distant sea level into a golden color.

Directly in front of the base, a tall rocket launch tower stands in an open space not far from the coast, covered with rays of light, like a giant, bathed in the morning glow.

The "Tianshu-1" rocket stood quietly on the launch pad. The white rocket body has not yet been equipped with satellite arrows. On the shell of the third-stage rocket, there are several bright red characters.

"China Aerospace" is so eye-catching! However, Chen Weidong stood on the nearest observation deck, silently staring at the rocket... In fact, Infinite Company's launch vehicle project did not

It looks so smooth on the surface.

This plan was established in 2003 and when it was submitted to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense for approval, relevant people from the aerospace sector publicly stated that they were firmly opposed to private enterprises entering the aerospace industry!

There are many reasons, including what is related to military safety, once the launch fails, it will affect the country's reputation in the rocket launch market, and so on.

Any one of them can make ordinary people unable to bear it. During that time, some people even issued a stern warning to Chen Weidong in private, asking him to get to know him better, Mou Zhongzhi and the like.

"Learning from the past", some industries are not what he wants to do. After hearing what he said, Chen Weidong said nothing and turned around and left.

He did not argue with the person who sent the message. Faced with such threatening language, the best way is to overwhelm them technically!

After experiencing rebirth, Chen Weidong can no longer tolerate threats to his freedom. People who have died once cannot accept that they are controlled by others.

At the same time, it was difficult for him to accept that he would have to suffer this kind of sin after being reborn! All of this made him more determined on the necessity of the utopian plan!

The traditional aerospace model of setting goals, allocating funds, finding suppliers, producing, assembling, and launching has many disadvantages.

What's more, because of the industry monopoly, the outside world has little understanding of rocket launch technology and only listens to experts who say it is difficult.

And those allocated scientific research funds have long been divided up by the fixed industrial chain.

From 1970 to 2005, there were a total of more than 70 launches. If we only look at the results, it can be said that the efficiency is very low.

In addition, if private aerospace companies do better than state-owned aerospace companies, where will the aerospace sector be placed?

Will there still be foreign customers looking for state-owned aerospace companies to purchase launch orders? It is no exaggeration to say that the iron rice bowls of hundreds of thousands of astronauts will be smashed to pieces!

Therefore, this is a very real and unavoidable Zheng Zhi problem. If it were not for Infinity Company researchers, they have repeatedly stated the necessity of developing commercial aerospace by private enterprises.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, Chen Weidong repeatedly stated that the rocket project will be responsible for its own profits and losses, so this project was reluctantly approved.

Otherwise, according to the course of history, they will have to wait at least ten years before relenting.

But at that time, could many things still catch up? In a heavily guarded factory, Chen Weidong and the others boarded the steel overpass, overlooking the small satellite that was being tested.

Many people think that rockets and spaceships are two different things. In fact, they are not. When people see big pillar-like things on TV, they are indeed rockets, but their function is to send spaceships into the sky.

The top part of the rocket is where the spacecraft is. The astronauts sit inside. However, this is Infinite Company's first rocket test launch, so it only plans to carry a small satellite for collecting scientific research data.

Inside the factory, it looks like a tall building on the outside, but inside it is actually a unified overall structure, with a transparent space that is seven or eight stories high from the roof to the ground.

This design is to provide enough space for satellite maintenance. Secondly, it is also to prepare for future large-scale truss-type satellites.

On the left side of the factory building, a dozen technicians in blue clothes were gathered around an upright hollow cylinder.

The side walls of the cylinder are movable and open at this time. On the surface of the cylinder, a huge red flag is spray-painted, as well as a redesigned and highly recognizable infinity company logo.

The technicians looked at the satellite being inspected from a distance, pointed at the cylinder, and said something.

"What is that?" Director Li asked curiously.

"That is the satellite cabin. During launch, the satellite is placed inside, and is supported by brackets below to protect the satellite from damage due to high temperature friction. When it reaches the predetermined launch altitude, the hatch will automatically open to separate the satellite and the rocket."

Worker Zhao, who had just finished his work, trotted over and explained in a very professional manner.

A group of people came down from the height, and Director Li walked towards the group of staff gathered around the satellite warehouse. Those people all knew him and greeted him warmly.

Normally, a satellite takes about thirty-six months from design to manufacturing according to the standard process.

But Infinite Company is very particular about efficiency. In addition, a few years ago, they assisted the Institute of Space Research in designing and manufacturing communication satellites and participated in many rocket launch missions. Therefore, they are not completely without foundation for independent research and development now.

It only took five months to make this relatively simple small satellite. When the researchers saw Chen Weidong and others, they didn't have much reaction. They just discussed with the technicians on their own. A few days later,

Launch mission, how to ensure a successful launch.

If all goes well, then they will be the first private enterprise in the world to independently launch a rocket!
