Chapter 67 Launching a Car into Space

"Xiao He, when will the Long March 6 reusable Yao-2 be launched?"

Faced with the boss's questions, He Zhuang hesitated and failed to say a complete sentence.

The boss understands, I don’t dare to shoot anymore because I’m not sure.

Looking towards the first hospital, Chief Master Li was also slightly embarrassed.

He is the chief engineer of the Long March 5. He has been appointed to lead the Long March 5 since 2009. Last year, the superiors required all subsequent rockets to study the possibility of reuse. They are still in the demonstration stage.

As a result, the Eighth Institute exploded a Chang Liu. When I thought of my own 870-ton Chang 5, I suddenly didn't dare to take risks again.

The configuration of the Changwu itself is not suitable for recycling, and even if the engine is modified, it still needs one...

Originally, Li Xi thought that even if the Chang-5 could not be recycled, it would still be the number one rocket in China. This was his only achievement. As a result, Xinyuan-2 was established in Qiongzhou within a few months.

You know, the No. 1 station was originally reserved for Chang Wu. You leaders in Qiongzhou are so shameless!

Chief Master Li felt aggrieved, but he couldn't express it, so he could only speak vaguely:

"Our plan is still being demonstrated. Changwu is relatively heavy and has a complicated structure..."

He even thought in his heart that it would be better if Xinyuan No. 2 failed, at least he wouldn't have to bear so much pressure.

The boss's eyes flickered across the faces of the subordinates. Except for the Sixth Academy and a few research institutes dedicated to sending people to the West, everyone else had their heads lowered.

Hey, why is there still someone looking at him, with eyes shining brightly?

A closer look revealed that it was Li Wei and several members of the astronaut brigade.

The boss remembered that Li Wei wrote a report to his superiors some time ago. The main message was that the team members had been unable to get to the sky, and their military morale was unstable.

Of course the superior's sharp eyes knew exactly what he wanted to say, and he replied, "It's under the control of the Space Administration," and then Li Wei set his sights on the big boss.

The boss raised his forehead and looked away, asking the space agency to commission a private space to launch astronauts? NACA is not that outrageous.

The wonderful performances in the VIP seats behind the control room were limited to that small area, but the front row was still harmonious and enjoyable.

Nanjing University of Science and Technology and several universities that cooperate with Xinyuan University all sent people, but the president of Nanjing University of Science and Technology came in person.

Many people from the Sichuan Provincial Tourism and Culture Bureau and the Industry Department also came, sitting together and whispering with smiles.

And Southern Motor, as a joint venture of Xinan Motors, it is quite reasonable to send people to support the rocket launch, right?

"Mr. Lin, it's amazing, it's amazing. Your Xinyuan rocket was so small last time, but this time it's almost as tall as the launch tower!"

Chen Jun kept praising Lin Ju, who became a little embarrassed and started to change the subject.

"Mr. Chen, how is the test of the engineering prototype, and how does our BMS compare with the market?"

Speaking of his old profession, Chen Jun suddenly became energetic:

"Yes, it must be possible!" He gave a thumbs up: "I really didn't expect that a spacecraft can be so good at a car. The 7,200 small batteries are no problem, and there is no need to talk about temperature and power control;

Moreover, serious electric cars are indeed fast. Now it only takes a little over 4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 0 to 0.3 seconds. If you adjust it carefully, it will be no problem in three seconds. You said that you want to target the coupe market. There is no problem. You can give it a try! "

Southern Industrial Automobile's background is still very good, and Xinan has also come up with a lot of good technologies for the joint venture. At the same time, it also wants to seize this opportunity to improve its brand status and see if it can get a taste of luxury models through coupes. threshold.

Lin Ju also knew this and suddenly noticed:

"Mr. Chen, do you have any ready-made coupe solutions? It needs to be grand, sci-fi, and good-looking, but it has the potential for mass production. It is also suitable for converting into a tram."

Chen Jun didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Ju Gourd sold, so he thought about it and said:

"There must be a plan. There are so many concept car designs. Xin'an's new model is based on our previous concept plan. Why does Mr. Lin want to customize one? I will give it to you."

Lin Ju shook his finger mysteriously: "Mr. Chen, although domestically produced cars have begun to rise, most of them are cheap models. Since the past few years, some people have tried to go high-end but have been unsuccessful, but I have an idea that maybe I can give it a try."

"Appreciate further details."

Chen Jun also became interested. This is what domestic brands are most excited about. The Dongfeng Sports Car and Beauty Leopard were painful lessons for domestic products to hit the high-end, but until now, everyone is still enjoying it and never gives up.

"The Xinyuan 2 and Yuan 3 missions will carry the Progress and Unity space shuttles for unmanned flights. The cargo hold of Progress can hold 4.5 tons of cargo, and it can fully accommodate a car. If you can drive one out As for the prototype car..."

"Hiss!" Chen Jun's eyes widened, and he felt a chill rushing to the sky. His whole body was trembling with goosebumps.

Sending a car into space?

Southern Motors' cars going into space?

There are many people and brands from all over the world who are better than them, but who can shoot a car into space for advertising?

As soon as this idea came into his mind, Chen Jun couldn't stop. He held Lin Ju's hands tightly with both hands and couldn't even speak.

"Lin...Mr. Lin, I agree now. I will ask someone to make a plan right away. Don't worry, even if they hit me with a hammer, I will let them knock out a Chinese luxury car!"

You wait for me, no matter what the cost, Nanfang Auto will agree! "

Chen Jun rushed to the toilet and dialed the number of the group director...

May 26, 10 o'clock.

CCAV13, news channel.

The word "live broadcast" hangs on the upper right side of the screen. Behind the crescent-shaped table in the studio are the host, the space agency guests, and the Xinyuan guests from left to right.

Obviously, the Xinyuan-2 launch mission received the treatment of live television broadcast by a news station that is only available for national-level launches.

According to the space agency's past launch practices, a live broadcast will be conducted for -8 hours before launch.

There was controversy in Taiwan, but because Xinyuan Aerospace is the first private aerospace company in China, and Xinyuan 2 is an absolutely record-breaking heavy-lift rocket, the live broadcast was finally approved.

At this time, Xinyuan 2 has been filled with fuel. It takes more than 1,000 tons of liquid oxygen and methane more than 4 hours to feed her cryogenic tank, which directly uses up half of the launch site's inventory.

CCTV reporters were connected to the scene. Behind the reporters, Xinyuan-2 appeared first with white smoke filling it, and the panda on the rocket body's paint was looming.

The camera zoomed out to reveal the crowd gathered behind the reporter.

"...I am currently on a beach across the sea from Launch Site 1. As far as we know, since the night before, tourists have camped again to watch the rocket launch. Many enthusiasts have also brought special Launch the rig, let’s interview it… Hello!”

"Hello, hello." An old man wearing a cap and glasses appeared in front of the camera.

"Uncle, are you here to see the rocket launch?"

"Yes, the Xinyuan-2 rocket is the largest rocket in our country..."

Lin Ju took the time to watch the live news, curled his lips, turned his head, and said to the laptop in front of him:

"Netizens, do you believe this man who accepted the interview so smoothly?"

“If you don’t believe it, I’m a social terrorist~”

"It looks fake at first glance, but Director Lin is the most real."

"Are the social terrorists in front of us social terrorists?"

"..."

Lin Ju just read a few lines of comments, but the screen suddenly got stuck. He felt helpless and turned off the comment and barrage functions after struggling for half an hour.

The staff of the live broadcast platform told him that the traffic was too heavy and the server could not handle it. If the interaction was not turned off, the connection would probably be disconnected...

Lin Ju sighed. Now Xinyuan is so famous that the number of people has exceeded the server limit. The current Internet era is limited by the hardware foundation and has not yet developed high-traffic servers for future generations. He is tired.

On the other side of the ocean, Ma Yilong, who was watching the live broadcast in the middle of the night, also turned off the information prompt of Little Blue Bird with an expressionless face.

Isn't it just that the Falcon 9 blew up a few bombs? @What am I doing?
