Rebirth began in 2004

Chapter 562 Kua'e Type 3 Rocket

In 2024, the epidemic that lasted for several years had already ended and life began to return to normal.

On the South China Sea island, at the Wenchang Launch Center, an extremely huge rocket is erected.

This is the Kua'e 3 type of the Huaguo super-thrust lunar landing rocket developed by Deep Space Exploration Company and China Aerospace Company.

The development time of Kua'e rocket has been continuous. In 2021, a test launch ended in failure.

In 2022, another test launch was carried out, achieving initial success.

In 2023, three trial launches were conducted and all of them were successful.

This year, the Kua'e 3 rocket will be officially launched, and the target of this launch is not near-Earth regulations, but towards the moon orbit.

The transport capacity of Kua'e Type 3 lunar orbit has reached the design standard, up to 60 tons.

Note that this is 60 tons.

The Kua'e 3 rocket is extremely large in size, with a weight of 3181 tons and a thrust of 3960 tons.

The height is 107 meters, the maximum diameter is 10.3 meters, the diameter of the engine including the protruding is 13.6 meters, and the diameter of the tail wing is 18.9 meters.

For such a big guy, in order to launch, Wenchang Launch Center specially built a new launch pad.

There is no way, the previous launch pad is really impossible to handle.

Near the Wenchang launch center, there are already crowds of people.

Countless people are looking forward to the Kua'e Rockets.

This time, the Kua'e 3 rocket will launch an experimental lunar base to the moon.

The goal of Deep Space Exploration Company is not to just wander around the moon and write down the tour here.

Instead, we must stay on the moon for a long time.

Humans set foot on the first alien planet half a century ago, and now it is time to consider staying on the moon for a long time.

Beside Chen Wei, there was a little girl and a little boy, Bai Yan and Chen Yang.

At this time, they were watching the best rocket launch on site.

There are quite a few people who came here to watch the rocket launch.

Before, the Kua'e rocket only conducted an experiment, but now it is officially launching something to the moon.

The meaning is particularly different, so naturally, the attention it receives is also very different.

After the successful launch mission, the next step is to prepare for a human moon landing.

Astronauts will go to the lunar base for a short stay, which will be three days.

On the moon, astronauts will walk on the moon, mine, and drive the Yutu lunar sports car on the moon.

Of course, taking photos, recording videos, etc. are naturally indispensable.

There were quite a few people who came to watch the launch.

Like Chen Wei, many people also brought their children to watch the launch.

Chen Wei raised his hand and looked at the time. It was almost time to book the launch time.

As time comes, the rocket ignites and rises directly.

A height of 107 meters!

There may not be an accurate concept of how tall it is. Generally, a 33-story commercial building is about this height.

It is towering into the clouds, but it is definitely not reached.

But now, such a giant is slowly rising in people's sight, and the speed is getting faster and faster. After a long time, it will be invisible.

As the Rockets took off successfully, cheers burst out on the scene.

Chen Wei also had a smile on his face.

"Viagra, when will we send astronauts to the moon?"

Earlier, people in this area already knew that Chen Wei and his children came to see the launch.

This launch is complete and looks extremely successful.

We can always trust China's aerospace industry.

Developing aerospace industry is not like what some people say, it is just a waste of money or something.

It does enhance national confidence and pride.

But that's not the only one.

For example, if you want to build a Kua E 3 rocket, such a big guy, you will only raise a very high challenge to the entire industry.

The Kua'e Type 3 rocket is to be used for landing on the moon!

Modern Rockets have higher technical requirements than half a century ago.

In the 1970s, when the Pacific Ocean faced a 50% success rate, it dared to land on the moon.

And now do you dare?

Now we have to ensure that all the technology is foolproof before we dare to send it to others.

Life is precious and unique.

Have to cherish it!

The manufacturing of Kua'e 3 rocket can be said to have driven a major improvement in China's industry.

Many manufacturing difficulties have been overcome one by one.

It's like building an aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers are the embodiment of the culmination of industrial technology.

The construction of aircraft carriers can benefit the entire industrial system.

Chen Wei smiled and said: "The new rocket is already in production, and astronauts land on the moon will definitely be on the way this year."

"Can Chang'e be found on the moon?"

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to it. The number one beauty in heaven always wants to meet her."

"Ha ha!"

Listening to Chen Wei's jokes, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.

At this time, a reporter squeezed over and said, "Dong Wei, can you do a brief interview?"

Chen Wei was completely unlucky: "Yes!"

"First of all, congratulations to Deep Space Exploration's Kua'e 3 rocket and lunar base for its successful launch."

Chen Wei: "It's too early to say it's successful now, and the moon will land next!"

If you want to go to the moon, you can just fly over in a straight line.

There is gravity between planets, so if you want to reach other planets, you have to rely on gravity.

You have to first reach the moon orbit, slow down on the orbit, and then land.

It takes three or four days, or even longer.

Now we are conducting some technical verification.

After all, the moon base plus fuel, etc. are a big guy weighing 60 tons.

Of course, it won't be so heavy when landing.

Because according to the plan, part of the moon base will remain in space as a guide platform.

A lot of fuel will be retained on it.

Later, the lunar return capsule of the lunar lander can be connected with this platform and use the fuel above to return to Earth.

"We all know that deep space exploration has a three-step strategy. Building a base on the moon and sending humans to the moon has entered the stage of substantial progress. So, will it be the next step to establish a permanent base on the moon?"

Chen Wei: "There is this plan. Of course, plans are always plans. As for whether to do it or not, I still have to say something else. I am also having a headache now, and my money is spending a little more than I don't know how to ask those investors for money."

Deep Space Exploration Company is not owned by Chen Wei’s family, but has many investors.

As an investor in deep space exploration, I basically didn’t think about getting returns from deep space exploration.

Just say that launching the Kua'e 3 rocket and the lunar base once does not count as anything else, but only counts the cost, it requires nearly 3 billion.

Three billion!

After this was launched, it can basically be said that the money was burned out directly.

In recent years, deep space exploration has launched and developed, and it has been a lot of different things, which cost 40 to 50 billion.

To be honest, there are quite a few flowers in Deep Space Exploration.

Compared to the other side of the Pacific, it is really rare.

It’s National Day tomorrow. I wish you a happy National Day holiday!
