I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Ma Yilong's Falcon 9 failed to be recovered. The staff at Kongcha also ate and drank while pulling out the next Falcon 9 and blowing it up again.

The Eighth Institute's CZ-6R failed to recover, and the chief engineer took the lead in self-examination - but it didn't.

Everyone’s first task was to find the cause, and the problem was discovered after only 12 hours:

Good news: The 01B sensor is actually fine and passed the quality inspection.

The bad news: it's a false alarm from the control system, and the trouble is much bigger than just one sensor.

But it is completely good news for the Sixth Institute. The performance of YF100K in this long-term multiple ignition mission is nothing to say, and there is no responsibility. This means that the "risk advance" was also successful. They conquered it in the shortest time. Reusable engine technology.

Tang Weitian: (ω)y.

He Ruan：/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

The Eighth Institute does not have the ability to explode one Long March-6 a month. Although it has this manufacturing capability, after all, the Chang-6 is just a project, and it is not to the extent of allocating resources.

In addition, Huaguo Aerospace has always been famous for its high success rate. If Changliu also followed the example of SpecaX and bombed, the success rate of aerospace projects in the past twenty years would be lowered by it alone.

When the Changliu reuse version failed to be recycled, the superiors received the news immediately and were immediately instructed to find out the problem and collect experience. Don't rush for success, just complete the task within the specified time.

What is the prescribed time? It’s the end of this year.

According to the production capacity of Long March 6, four more can be produced by December, and the Eighth Institute has four more opportunities.

Therefore, it’s hard to tell if the leader appears to be pleasant and encouraging, but actually fails to complete the task.

In the evening, news of the failure of the first recovery of the Long March 6 reusable type leaked out through the official media, and a video of the first stage of the core falling to the ground and exploding into fireworks appeared online.

Fortunately, this is not a small book, otherwise He Zhuang would have bowed 90 degrees to "Private Marseille".

Xinyuan engineers looked at the posture before falling to the ground at night and concluded that the control system's low parallel processing capability led to misjudgments. The traditional method is to try to stuff possible situations in advance to avoid temporary judgment errors by the system - this is Ma Yilong’s approach is to “collect experience”.

But the Falcon 9 has exploded so many times, how many times will the Long March 6R explode...

Forget it, let’s take a look at the rocket in the distance, family.

A Xinyuan-1A has been loaded on a trailer and will be transported to the Sechang Satellite Launch Center via a special train.

It will be loaded with a scientific experiment satellite jointly developed by Arbor University and Peking University, and will be launched into low-Earth orbit from here.

This is part of a cooperation plan with Arbor Aerospace. Arbor only needs to pay US$5 million to launch a 1.3-ton satellite into low-Earth orbit. One kilogram only costs US$3,000. There is no more favorable price than this in the world.

Although the first stage of this rocket is still a model worker that has been reused more than ten times, it has been newly painted to match Abel's status. It does not look like it has been shot more than ten times at all.

In this friendly transaction, Lin Ju earned less than 30 million after deducting the usage fees of the launch site and measurement and control system, which was enough to barely make ends meet.

Xinyuan has so far received seven satellite launch intentions, three from domestic universities, three from enterprises, and the remaining one from Indonesia.

The last one was rejected by Lin Ju.

Indonesia commissioned the space agency to build a three-ton television broadcast satellite. It originally planned to launch the Long March 3B next year. Seeing that the launch cost of Xinyuan is cheap, I wanted to ask about it.

First of all, not to mention that Xinyuan did not have the ability to launch such a heavy satellite into geosynchronous orbit. He couldn't stand Indonesia's breach of contract and refused on the grounds of inability.

The remaining six domestic ones can be launched at once, but they have to wait until they have completed the satellites first.

April 29th.

Xinyuan City issued an announcement two days in advance that some routes will be subject to road traffic control due to the transportation of special goods. Vehicles on specific routes that day need to detour if they want to save time.

The Xinyuan No. 2 sample arrow escorted by four police cars and four motorcycles departed from the factory and was transported to Xinyuan City Airport.

This rocket is not for launch, but a prototype for testing.

A giant rocket like this that weighs more than 1,000 tons must be fully tested on the ground. For example, the casing is first built, the fuel tank is filled with water, and it is vibrated back and forth on the test bench to simulate the tremor during launch and find out the defects.

Of course, the test has been completed. This rocket simulates the rocket airlift procedure.

Except that it cannot be launched, it is no different from a real rocket; therefore, the transfer route, installation procedures on the transport aircraft, and the reception, final assembly and debugging process at the Qiongzhou launch site will be practiced in advance to avoid damage to the real rocket due to inexperience.

Since the length exceeds 70 meters, the second and first stages of the rocket are transported separately, with the first stage being up to 45 meters long and 6 meters wide.

When the convoy escorted Xinyuan-2 appeared on the road, countless people stopped their cars to take photos and exclaimed at the thick rocket body.

If we follow the original history, the Long March 9, which is planned by the space agency to fly for the first time in 2033, has a diameter of 10.6 meters. Otherwise, the 6-meter diameter of the Xinyuan-2 will remain the record for China's largest diameter rocket.

Even the Long March 5, which has a diameter of 5 meters and is bundled with four boosters, 8 YF100s and 2 YF77s, has a total weight of just over 800 tons, which is not comparable to Xinyuan 2, which has a take-off mass of nearly 1,300 tons.

Such a huge thing, even if you lie quietly, you can feel what a powerful aerospace weapon it is.

People can't imagine how majestic it is when it stands up and points to the sky.

"Let me go, such a big rocket takes up two lanes!"

"What date is this Long March? Such a big rocket should be able to land on the moon!"

"Didn't you see the words written on the cloth? Xinyuan Aerospace Power, I'm a good boy. I also saw the rocket they built last time. It was only a little wider than a semi-trailer, and it could be pulled by one vehicle.

The diameter of this rocket is at least five or six meters, and it must be as high as a thirty-story building when erected! "

"It seems like their boss said they were going to launch a space shuttle. Is this the way to use it?"

"Martial arts will last forever, martial arts will last forever!"

"..."

Outside the two buses that stopped not far away, several leaders were also stunned.

"I heard Xinyuan talk about building a 6-meter rocket before and thought it was not that big. This plan is too exaggerated. It is twice as big as our country's largest rocket!"

"Not only that, with a launch mass of 1,270 tons, it can launch 45 tons of cargo into space, which is more than three times that of the most powerful rocket of the National Space Administration!"

"Hiss~" The superior from the province who came to inspect was also shocked from ear to ear. He had learned about the significance of Xinyuan No. 2 through several city leaders, and suddenly felt that the province's support for such a giant enterprise was still too little. .

"For such super enterprises, the province should focus on supporting them and not be stingy with a little policy inclination. We should make Sichuan the most powerful aerospace manufacturing base in China!"

It was almost with the support of the citizens that the first stage of Xinyuan No. 2 arrived at Xinyuan Airport. The hoisting team that had been prepared long ago will install fairings on both ends of the first stage, with an oval shape. The gesture allowed the Il-76 to be carried and transported to Qiongzhou.
