The toy factory is transforming, are you transforming into a military factory?

Chapter 114 The heavy rocket was recovered successfully!

There is only the last minute left before the Wenyue rocket is launched.

There was a tense fighting atmosphere in the rocket launch site area.

The long-awaited test of launching a launch vehicle is about to begin.

Whether it was the launch site or the live broadcast room, there was a tense atmosphere.

The tall launch tower, surrounding the milky-white giant launch vehicle, stands at the launch site.

Engineering and technical personnel from various professions conducted final inspections and operations on the rocket before takeoff, and then evacuated the scene, waiting passionately for the launch moment.

In the underground launch control room, Chen Yuan stared at the time indication of the electronic clock, listened to every word reported by each operator, made a decision, and issued the command: "One minute to prepare"..."Thirty seconds to prepare"..."Ten Ready in seconds"...

With the arrival of the last few seconds, various tracking and measurement equipment on the field were turned on, and recording equipment such as high-speed cameras and tape recorders were started.

"ignition!"

After giving the order,

The young operator on the launch console pressed the button calmly and decisively.

Immediately there was a continuous huge roar from the rocket launch site.

The sound was like a landslide, like a tsunami, shaking the earth.

The huge rocket rose from the ground, rising slowly, its tail spraying brilliant flames, straight into the sky.

The onlookers and reporters at the scene were shocked.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were even more delighted and excited about the successful launch of the rocket.

"The launch was successful!"

"666, in this situation, I just want to send a big rocket to the host."

"The Jade Emperor: Thank you Lao Tie for the big rocket."

"It's my first time to watch a rocket launch live. I'm so excited."

People were blowing and watching the fire dragon soaring into the sky, and their hearts were rolling like ocean waves.

The rocket soars into the blue sky.

After a few seconds, the vertically ascending rocket began to turn.

Tens of seconds later, the gas discharged by the rocket condensed into smoke in the air, like a white streak in the sky extending to the southeast.

At this time, Chen Yuan had already entered the main control room. The Wenyue launch was successful, but that did not mean that everything was successful.

Because Wenyue will soon usher in the recovery of the rocket.

This time the launch vehicle was launched, the mission of Wenyue was to send a communications satellite into the lunar synchronous orbit.

This means that Wenyue needs to break through the atmosphere, and will begin to separate the first-stage rocket when it reaches an altitude of 80 kilometers above the ground.

Monitoring officer Xu Lingyue's report sounded in the aerospace control room: "The first-stage rocket engine is shut down and is in the process of separation and landing."

The separated first-stage rocket body is the most expensive engine part of the rocket. If it can be recovered successfully, it can save a lot of launch costs regardless of whether the subsequent second-stage rocket is successful.

The images transmitted back through the control center showed that the recovery rocket body that was falling to the ground did not land in a vertical attitude.

Instead, it adjusts its attitude by itself through the air-cooled thrusters.

During the sliding process, the rocket body rotates 180 degrees so that the bottom of the first stage rocket faces the ground.

"The landing attitude of the first-stage rocket has been adjusted." Xu Lingyue was always paying attention to the status of the rocket as it landed.

Because it is still close enough to the ground, after turning on the engine for the second time and pushing back, the speed of the first stage rocket's fall was offset a lot.

Chen Yuan observed that the distance between the first stage rocket and the ground was changing little by little.

"The arrow body is one thousand meters above the ground."

"The arrow body is five hundred meters above the ground."

"The rocket body is adjusting its falling angle."

The recovered first-stage rocket is stabilizing its speed and swinging left and right at high altitude. The internal precision recognition lens is correcting the position of the rocket body and the recovery platform.

When the position was completely corrected and it was determined that it was perpendicular to the ground platform, the rocket also gradually shortened the distance, and after reaching a certain level, the recovery frame was extended. Then, under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the rocket landed smoothly in the center of the recovery platform.

Suddenly, the crowd watching in the distance burst into warm applause.

In the live broadcast room, there were dense barrage to celebrate.

Li Weimin could not conceal his excited interest and said with great excitement: "The rocket recovery was successful. We in China have finally recovered a heavy-duty manned rocket!"

At this moment, China truly has the ability to officially expand space exploration!

However, Chen Yuan did not take this lightly. The control center screen showed that the Wenyue probe, which had broken through the atmosphere, was separating the second-stage rocket.

Chen Yuan also issued follow-up instructions at this time: "Follow-up recovery work has officially begun. The recovery team is preparing to restart the engine and guide the rocket to land."

"understand!"

At this time, the second-stage rocket is falling rapidly to the ground like a fireball. Its huge impact force is equivalent to dropping a missile from the sky if it is allowed to fall like this without restarting the engine.

At this time, the recovery team that had been on standby began to restart the second-stage rocket engine.

Three of the nine engines on the second-stage rocket were restarted.

Under the thrust of the engine, the incapacity was slowly reduced, and the descent speed also began to slow down.

"The rocket finally slowed down. I was really worried that it would make a hole in the ground."

"Slow? Are you sure this landing is very slow?"

The rocket's landing speed is just a little slower than before.

However, the data monitoring platform showed that the rocket body was still falling at a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour.

Chen Yuan explained to the netizens in the live broadcast room at this time: "After restarting three of the nine engines of the second-stage rocket, although the rocket's descent speed has been reduced, the rocket's descent speed still needs to be further reduced before entering the atmosphere. "

He issued a new command: "Turn on the main engine of the second-stage rocket."

"Starting main engines."

After the rocket's main engine is turned on, the rocket's falling speed is further reduced.

At the same time, the mesh fins on the outside of the rocket that are used to ensure the rocket's stable attitude are opened, allowing the rocket to land in a vertical attitude.

At this time, Chen Yuan looked at the monitoring board again, and the speed of the rocket dropped to 200 kilometers per hour.

"The second-stage rocket has entered the atmosphere!" The operator continued to feedback landing information.

The second-stage rocket enters the atmosphere, and when it reaches a certain height above the ground, all the remaining engines of the rocket will start.

At this time, people on the ground finally saw the figure of the second-stage rocket appearing on the dome.

After landing at a height of eight kilometers above the ground, just like the landing process of the first-stage rocket, the control system activated the stabilizing bracket, and all four legs used to maintain the stability of the rocket were deployed.

Chen Yuan learned from the information on the screen that the second-stage rocket engine and other components are now operating normally.

Then he and the aerospace team went out to welcome the landing of the second-stage rocket.

When the second-stage rocket also landed smoothly, a trace of joy appeared on Chen Yuan's face.

The aerospace team also quickly gathered around and shut down the engine of the second-stage rocket.

Subsequently, the fairing of the third-stage rocket was also successfully recovered, and there was not much difference between the process and the previous recovery.

Happy smiles appeared on the faces of Chen Yuan and Xu Lingyue.

Other staff members were also proud and excited about this time, hugging each other and jumping for joy.

Liu Changjiang looked at Chen Yuan's back from the back of the crowd, and his view of him had completely changed.

It seems that this kid is not that unreliable or unrealistic.

He proved his ability with practical actions, and also proved that it is so simple for major countries to realize the recovery of launch vehicles.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also praised Chen Yuan in various ways, and many even regarded Chen Yuan as an elite model in the aerospace industry.

"Anchor, there is still a first-stage rocket that doesn't need to be recycled?"

Netizens seem to be talking about the third-stage rocket, which is the spacecraft.

Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head: "The three-stage rocket contains spacecraft and communication satellites. They have now entered space and are heading towards the moon."

Looking at the blue sky above his head, Chen Yuan seemed to see the spacecraft roaming in the universe through everything.
