Don't give me black technology

Chapter 365 Shocking noise!

When the numerical table showed that the first-stage rocket was only five kilometers away from the ground, Meng Xiaobai shouted: "Attention everyone!"

As soon as his words fell, all the engines of the first-stage rocket were ignited, forming a reverse thrust to brake.

At this time, the viewing platform outside Deep Space Technology's maritime rocket launch silo was full of spectators and media reporters, all of whom looked up at the sky in unison.

The body of the rocket is clearly visible, and it is descending towards the silo at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Everyone, the last step is about to be completed..." The words of reporter Yin Qiu'an were interrupted by a deafening explosion.

All the audience looked at the sky in disbelief and covered their ears at the same time.

There was a violent explosion, and there were multiple explosions!In the sky, fierce flames appeared around the rocket body, illuminating the night sea as if it were daytime!
"Buzzing..." Everyone's ears were filled with buzzing tinnitus, and it took dozens of seconds to gradually recover. At this time, the sea was already pitch black, with only a little light from the fire, and it was impossible to see the situation clearly.

"It exploded!" a reporter yelled.

"The recovery failed?" Yin Qiu'an opened his mouth, unwilling to believe his guess.

"What happened?" The others looked at the silo nervously and blankly. At this moment, they clearly saw that part of the rocket body did not land on the offshore platform, but fell into the seawater after ten seconds. among!
They know that this part has been damaged, and as long as it enters seawater, the equipment inside cannot be used again.

"Really failed to recover?"

"Although it's big news, I really don't want to report it..." someone sighed.

On the webcast platform, the audience who were still celebrating just now were dumbfounded.

"Fuck? The rocket exploded?"

"Recovery failed?"

"It's too early to be happy, you guys!"

"Hey, what a pity!"

"It's okay, let's go! Anyway, the satellites have been sent to the sky!"

"If the recovery fails, they will suffer a lot this time, and the rocket will have to be remade!"

"Tsk tsk, laugh without saying a word!"

……

"What's going on? Did it explode?" Tang Biyun was so anxious that she wanted to call her son to ask about the situation, but she knew this was not the time to ask.

"Don't worry, look again." Meng Lei frowned, waiting for the follow-up report.

Gao Yuan, Su Lianyue, Fukuda Asaka, Elena, Kaierlin, Ruan Song, Pan Yu, Yu Liming... The congratulators all listened and stared blankly at the screen. Or will it end in failure?

Noah, the Internet celebrity who was still hated by netizens just now, saw the picture, and immediately posted a message excitedly: "The recovery failed. Facts have proved that the rocket technology of deep space technology is still not good enough! Don't tell me that sending the satellite into the sky is considered a success." , The cost of one launch is more than one billion, they can't afford it!"

"Hahaha, it's really exciting news!" A senior executive of the Samsung Group laughed.

"It exploded! It exploded! It exploded well!" Some people in the island country were overjoyed!
The United States, Australia... everywhere, people are rejoicing that the rocket recovery of Deep Space Technology exploded, otherwise they would really have no hope.

"Everyone, there seems to be something wrong. We need to contact the launch command center to ask about the specific situation!" Yin Qiuan said to the camera.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the rocket launch command center is not as impetuous and anxious as the outside world.

"Report the situation!" Meng Xiaobai said.

"The landing site of the No. 2 booster deviated, and the error was about 15 meters. It fell into the sea and was scrapped." Technician Hui reported.

"Well, don't panic, it's just a booster." Meng Xiaobai's calm tone eased the nervousness of the staff.

"The situation of booster No. 1."

"The No. 1 booster landed successfully, and the damage is expected to be no more than [-] percent."

"Very good, the No. 1 booster has been recovered successfully." Meng Xiaobai nodded, "How is the condition of the first-stage rocket body?"

"Checking!"

The first-stage rocket body is the most important part in the recovery. Most of the Hercules rocket engines are installed on it. The explosion sound just now is the first-stage rocket body.

The command center fell silent again, only the voices of computers and machines were left.

Everyone was waiting patiently. Zhan Haoran did not speak, but a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his wrinkled forehead.

Two minutes later, the technician replied pleasantly: "The first-stage rocket was recovered successfully, with a loss rate of 2%!"

As soon as his words fell, the entire command center burst into enthusiastic cheers, and some technicians even jumped up directly, raising their hands and shouting: "Wing God!"

"Wing God!"

"Wing God!"

"Success!"

"Hahaha, we succeeded!"

"Success!" Meng Xiaobai also laughed.

"Yes, we succeeded!" Zhan Haoran stretched his wrinkles, and said in an uncontrollable joyful voice: "The sonic boom just now was too loud, but luckily it wasn't an explosion!"

……

The smoke cleared from the rocket silo at sea. Through the searchlights, people could clearly see that a section of the rocket body stood firmly on the recovery platform. Except for some wear and tear on the outside, there was no problem overall.

"What's going on here? Didn't it explode just now?"

"??? What is the explosion sound? Could it be that it exploded inside?"

"Aren't rockets nice?"

The media and the audience were all confused. Could it be that the rocket exploded inside just now, but why is there nothing wrong with its outer shell.

"Everyone, we have now connected to Professor Zeng of the Rocket Launch Command Center." Yin Qiuan said to the camera, "Hello, Professor Zeng."

"Hello." The other party was a middle-aged man.

"Professor Zeng, we have many questions during the rocket launch, but what we want to ask most now is what happened to the explosion sound just now? Did the Yishen-[-] rocket fail to recover?" Yin Qiu'an asked everyone's questions. Questions to know.

Countless people looked at the screen, waiting for an answer.

Seeing the unconcealable joy on Professor Zeng's face, some people had a bad feeling in their hearts.

"Our rocket did not fail to recover! The main body of the rocket has been successfully recovered, and the wear rate is extremely low. The only mistake was that a booster fell into the sea, which had little impact." Professor Zeng explained.

"As for the explosion sound just now, this is a normal phenomenon."

"During the landing process of the rocket body, the gravitational potential energy gradually increases! To reduce it from the first cosmic speed to zero speed, all rocket engines need to be turned on and a reverse force is applied. At this time, it acts on the rocket instantly The thrust makes its reverse speed climb sharply to supersonic speed!"

"As we all know, when an object reaches supersonic speed, it will produce a sonic boom. The explosion just now was caused by the low-altitude sonic boom of the rocket body, and it was not once! It was nine times, respectively, from the first-stage rocket and two boosters The engine, landing gear and stabilizer of the aircraft!"

"The power of the sonic boom in the low altitude is quite astonishing! It is no exaggeration to say that if you are further separated, you may be stunned! These nine sonic booms are superimposed, and you will hear the loud explosion .But it’s not that our rocket recovery failed, it’s normal.”

After Professor Zeng finished explaining, the reporter realized that the explosion just heard was an ultra-low-altitude sonic boom.The flames he saw were fire snakes ejected from the rocket engine at full speed, and the sea surface could not be seen clearly at night, so he mistook it for the rocket exploding.Feelings are just a false alarm!
