Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 348 Dijiang 1 Ignition Test, the Questionable Wireless Energy Transmission Technology

On November 12, the sky was blue and cloudless.

More than a dozen leading social media channels, including Shanhai Video, Douyin, Sohu, Changyi, and Penguin, all have thematic entrances of "Dijiang 1 Ignition Live Broadcast" on their homepages.

"Dijiang No. 1? What is this?"

"Can anyone tell me what static ignition means?"

Driven by curiosity, netizens clicked to enter the live broadcast room. In the center of the screen stood a tower towering into the clouds.

"Rocket?"

"Yunkun Space Company?"

"Affiliated to Shanhai Group, it is a subsidiary of Future Technology, Shanhai Microelectronics, and Kuafu Energy!"

The text box below the live broadcast room introduces the background of the establishment of Yunkun in detail.

And made it clear to the audience that this is a global live broadcast event, mainly to ensure the safety and success rate of the Dijiang rocket launch.

There will be fuel filling, vehicle transport and static ignition testing at 8am!
"I'm going! People across the mountains and seas are riding horses and building rockets! It's so exciting. Are you so brave?"

"666! A private space company, how confident is it to live broadcast!"

"He really made me cry to death! Future Technology never plays low-end games. If you want to play, play the best!"

Netizens expressed their opinions on the barrage.

Until someone scrolled the mouse and was surprised to find that under the introduction of Yunkun Space and Dijiang 1, there was a plan called "Satellite Grid".

"Wireless energy transmission technology!"

"Global Wireless Energy Matrix!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Seriously? Is this kind of technology achievable? It's crazy!"

Links to the live broadcast room gradually spread in TT groups and WeChat group chats, and eventually hundreds of millions of viewers stayed in front of their mobile phones and computers to watch this big show.

It is not difficult to see through the barrage that there are a large number of foreigners mixed in.

"Oh my god! It's my first time to appreciate the ground test of a rocket. Cloud Kun seems to be a private rocket company in China?"

"Elon, are you watching? Space M has met its match!"

"Amazing! They want to build a global-scale wireless power transmission network to send the solar energy resources of Gray Continent to Europe, Northern Berry Continent, and even the Pacific Ocean and the Himalayas!"

Chen Heyu leaned on the sofa, looking at the 100-inch large TV opposite, his face darkened, and he looked at the live broadcast screen.

Although he had repeatedly checked to ensure that all structures and systems met the design requirements, he was still a little uneasy, fearing that slight flaws would lead to ignition failure.

Time passed by minute by second, 8 o'clock came on time, and the fuel filling test began!
The scene turned and the camera came to the open and spacious manufacturing workshop. Engineers wearing strict overalls were busy in front of a cylindrical rocket lying on its side. This test involved many complicated steps:

First, fuel and filling equipment need to be prepared, and relevant equipment and instruments need to be calibrated again to confirm that they are in normal operation;
Second, rocket fuel is injected into the fuel tank, usually using liquid propellant. In this process, it is carried out according to a specific filling rate and pressure, and the actual filling operation is restored as much as possible;

Third, close monitoring of pressure changes inside the fuel tank helps ensure the safety and stability of the filling process and avoid possible over- or under-pressure situations;

Fourth, after the fuel filling is completed, perform double verification of the fuel to ensure that the purity, temperature and quality of the fuel meet the requirements, and check the fuel pipelines, valves and sealing devices.

It was not until 9:35 that the 98 cubic meters of liquid oxygen tank and the 34 cubic meters of kerosene tank were filled. The two fuels will be transported to the engine through pipelines and gravity pumps, and will be fully burned under high temperature and pressure to produce Powerful thrust.

drop!
phone vibration!

"The fuel filling process is normal!"

Chen Heyu picked up his phone and saw the text message from Wei Guangji. He smiled slightly and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, everything will go well."

Luo Wenwen lay on his lap and said with a smile.

"Then let me borrow some good words from classmate Luo!"

Chen Heyu patted her back gently and rubbed her smooth skin with his big hands, but his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

Subsequently.

The staff operated the mechanical arm, placed the rocket's first-stage body on the super-heavy transport vehicle, and fixed the rocket on the vehicle with a resistance bracket device to prevent shaking during transportation.

Next, the vehicle will go through a simulated vibration environment on the actual road to ensure that the rocket can withstand the vibration and impact generated under different road conditions during transportation.

During this process, real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, humidity and air pressure inside the rocket is required to ensure the safety and stability of the transportation process.

Through this test, problems that may arise during transportation can be discovered and solved in time, ensuring that the rocket is in optimal condition before launch.

Last but not least is the static fire test!
A super-heavy trailer pulled the main structure of the first stage and slowly drove towards the launch pad, like a sleeping giant.

The 41-meter-long rocket with a diameter of 4.3 meters lies firmly on the trailer. 44 one-meter-high rubber wheels control the forward movement and steering of the vehicle.

After more than ten minutes of driving, the rocket finally stopped in front of the launch pad. Engineers used the installer to translate the rocket to the base, and then erected it using a tower crane robotic arm.

At this time, the first stage rocket of Dijiang 1 officially appeared in front of the audience.

The silver-white alloy appearance reflects dazzling light under the sunlight.

"It's gone, it's gone. It's just a ignition test, not a launch. What's there to see?"

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until the day when Dijiang 1 is actually launched to broadcast live?"

"I think Yukun Space Company is too high-profile. After all, it can launch successfully once and then come out to pretend to be X!"

"If it fails, won't it become a joke?"

Some netizens in China are worried.

At 10:30, 11 "Dijiang" engines were ignited at the same time. The process was very short, lasting less than 7 seconds.

The water-cooled steel plate and water spray system under the launch pad operate perfectly. A large amount of condensed water is sprayed through the holes in the steel plate to offset the heat and sound wave energy generated by the 11 "Dijiang" engines.

Because in the actual launch, as the rocket gradually rises, it will cause huge noise. The water spray system can reduce the noise and protect the hearing health of engineers.

On the other hand, static electricity is generated during rocket liftoff. Spraying condensed water can reduce the impact of static electricity and prevent the rocket from being struck by lightning.

Within a radius of tens of meters, a large amount of white water vapor suddenly rose.

Wei Guangji, Bao Xiangwen and others stood in front of the monitoring screen with solemn expressions, observing the core data of each set of engines.

"Engine No. 1 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 2 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 3 ran for 2.9 seconds and shut down early. Warning!"

"Engine No. 4 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 5 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 6 ran for 4.5 seconds and shut down early. Warning!"

"Engine No. 7 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 8 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 9 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 10 is working fine!"

"Engine No. 11 ran for 1.7 seconds and shut down early. Warning!"

suddenly!

After turning off the engine, dense warning messages immediately popped up on the big screen. Wei Guangji frowned when he saw this.

"All engineers responsible for these three sets of engines immediately called up the engineering parameters and checked the components and system structures again!"

He had a tense face. This time the static ignition test seemed to be successful, but he knew that the problem was very troublesome.

If this was a real ignition and 3 engines were not working properly, the consequences would be dire.At least, the power is insufficient to propel the second-stage rocket to the target height, and at worst, it explodes in the air, which is equivalent to setting off a firework.

The overall cost of Dijiang 1 is as high as 5 million Chinese dollars, plus the cost of satellite production, it is about 7 million Chinese dollars.

No matter how rich Chen Heyu is, he can't help but feel pain!
At this point in the live broadcast, a voice-over was inserted, announcing the end of the test. I hope everyone can look forward to the official live broadcast of the rocket launch next year.

After half an hour.

Wei Guangji sent the first-hand experimental results and data to his boss.

After Chen Heyu received it, he read all the information silently, frowned, and sighed quietly: "In the aviation field, it doesn't seem easy, but it's actually more difficult."

"Failed?"

Luo Wenwen asked in a low voice.

"It's only half the battle."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and said with a grin, with a hint of self-deprecation in the corner of his mouth.

SpaceM has been on the bench for ten years, and Yunkun has only been established for one year. Perhaps he was too hasty.

"I'm going upstairs to take care of something."

he said softly.

Then, he walked into the elevator, went straight to the study room on the top floor, and transmitted all the test data to Moss Intelligence.

Generally speaking, premature engine shutdown may be due to three reasons:

First, design problems: For example, some components or systems are not working properly, causing the engine to be unable to continue running;
Second, abnormal performance: problems with the gas supply or oil supply system, abnormal combustion chamber pressure, abnormal turbine speed, etc. can all cause this situation;
Third, the protection mechanism is triggered: In order to ensure the safety of the engine, the system department has designed a protection mechanism. If certain parameters or sensors detect abnormal conditions, the protection mechanism will be triggered and cause the engine to shut down early.

For a moment, he couldn't determine which one it was.

We can only let Moss review it again, and cooperate with the first-hand data provided by Wei Guangji to review the static ignition test and summarize the failure experience.

"Boss, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

After a while, Wei Guangji called and said with shame.

"It's just a test, so what do you care about? Let's take the first step well so that we can have a stable future.

Being able to find problems is also a way to make progress! "

Chen Heyu encouraged him and said that he was not too harsh on the other party. No one can guarantee that the design and manufacturing of rockets and spacecrafts are foolproof.

Perhaps, letting Moss intervene can better protect him?

He thought about it.

It was not easy for Yunkun to complete the construction of the R&D center, manufacturing workshop, and launch pad with such high efficiency after only one year of establishment. It is understandable that it encountered some setbacks.

"Okay boss, I will feedback the results of the investigation to you as soon as possible."

Wei Guangji gritted his teeth and said solemnly.

The boss is tolerant and considerate to him, and he must make some achievements, otherwise, he will betray his boss's trust.

"Well, let's go."

Chen Heyu smiled and immediately put down his phone.

"Ding!"

On the computer screen, Moss's analysis report popped up: 80% of the cause was abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber, and 20% was due to defects in the valves of the gas supply pipeline.

Chen Heyu pondered for a moment, and without thinking much, sent it directly to Wei Guangji.

Let them investigate the specific problems and be sure to solve all these problems before the official launch of Dijiang 1.

The impact of this live broadcast continues to ferment on the Internet.

"It's simply a fantasy! Wireless energy transmission technology was proven to be impossible to achieve as early as ten years ago!"

"Everyone knows the scientific research environment in China! [-]% of it is a private company that cheats on subsidies."

"But they are really building a large-scale photovoltaic power station in the northern part of the Cape of Good Hope in South Gray..."

"It's a trick! I don't believe it anyway!"

"A US$200 billion investment is definitely the largest solar power station in the world. How much money can be defrauded by subsidy fraud?"

There are heated discussions in major domestic forums, with few supporters and many opponents.

As the protagonist of this live broadcast, Dijiang No. 1 was directly ignored.

The concept of "wireless energy transmission" is becoming more and more popular. Some European TV stations have even invited experts and scholars in the fields of aviation and electromagnetic wave technology to discuss this issue.

"No! I don't think China has the strength to perfect this technology. Disruptive technological innovations are often scams."

"Tianzhu's Materials Laboratory, as early as three years ago, announced that it had developed a room temperature superconducting material. The result was just as everyone expected. It was just a clumsy lie show!"

"Hua and Tianzhu are both in Yazhou and are geographically close to each other. Perhaps they adhere to the same tradition in their attitude towards scientific research and development!"

The three top scholars sneered.

The implication is that Yunkun Space and Kuafu Project are just a scam.

As authoritative figures in the industry, the three people talked about the principles of electromagnetic wave transmission and the actual technical obstacles, and finally made the final decision: This technology company that developed artificial intelligence was obviously on the decline. In order to gain support from the upper echelons of China, it began to engage in fraud.

Some good people translated the content of the interview and posted it on domestic short video platforms, causing heated discussions.

"Will future technology really do this kind of thing? I don't believe it!"

"It's not that I don't believe it, but wireless energy transmission technology has a huge technical barrier. Overseas scientists haven't found a way. Why is it cracked by a private company?"

Netizens were quickly led astray and criticized Shanhai Group on Weibo and Douyin!
"Boss, do you want to delete all these negative remarks?"

After Zhang Yiming learned of this situation, he immediately reported it to Chen Heyu.

"No! In three months time, I will use practical actions to slap these people in the face!"

Chen Heyu said solemnly, with a slightly unhappy tone.

Lao Ma also called him and asked him what he meant. As long as he was willing, these curses would disappear completely within a few minutes.

But after thinking about it, he still refused. Once he successfully transported Anxi's power resources to Shanghai, the slander would naturally be broken.

……

Elon on the other side of the ocean has also become the focus of reporters' greetings. After all, there are currently two most famous private space companies in the world, one is his SpaceM, and the other is Yunkun.

"Elon, what do you think of Mr. Chen Heyu's wireless energy transmission technology? Do you think it is a scam?"

A blonde female reporter handed over the microphone.

"Um... first of all, let me say that I know nothing about electromagnetic wave technology, but judging from the parameters of the other party's Dijiang engine, this is an extremely excellent space company!
Mr. Chen is my best friend, and I believe he is a man who can create miracles..."

Elon said with a smile as he stood in front of a Tesla car.

As for whether "wireless energy transmission technology" can be realized, it's none of his business?

He just wanted to get over the current difficulties first. The Tesla sales in 2016 failed to meet the standards, and he encountered a series of accidents, which made him anxious.

Recalling the content of the phone call between Boss Chen and him last night, it made him even more stressed.

In front of reporters, of course he only dared to say flattering words. Chen Heyu is one of Tesla's major shareholders. How can he speak ill of shareholders?

"Bo Da is brainless."

Elon glanced at the reporter's good figure and secretly mocked.
