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

Chapter 119 Changliu launch begins

Word quickly spread around the factory.

China's first nuclear-powered engine was successfully tested.

Cheers have firmly enveloped the Xingyao Aerospace Factory at this moment.

In the newly put into use R&D area, you can also see cheering R&D personnel standing behind the glass curtain.

Under the building, the workers who were still under construction all looked up in shock and wondered why these people were so happy.

"Are they giving out year-end bonuses? Why are you so excited?"

"I heard that it created another huge breakthrough in rocket technology."

"What exactly is it?"

"Shh," the experienced construction worker made a silent gesture, "it's a state secret. I don't know if you'd better ask less, but it doesn't take long for this situation to be announced."

Hearing this, the surrounding construction workers stopped gossiping and continued busy with the work at hand.

All infrastructure of the Nantianmen Project Department is only one week away from being fully completed.

In fact, the Nantianmen project department had almost completed the construction half a year ago, but Chen Yuan made temporary modifications later, so the construction was restarted.

As for the construction team who signed the confidentiality agreement, they have no idea what this place is used for. They only know that it is an aerospace building.

After the space engine was successfully manufactured, Chen Yuan also announced the news.

But he changed his announcement method in another way.

"Xingyao Aerospace will launch the Changliu probe to the moon tomorrow!"

After seeing this latest news, netizens cheered because Shining Star Aerospace has taken new actions.

"666, is Xingyao Aerospace still preparing to launch a lunar probe?"

"Now it's the detector, when will it be us?"

"It is still somewhat difficult to land a man on the moon. It does not just mean sending people to the moon."

"Wait a minute, why is Xingyao Aerospace launching Changliu? Not our CNSA."

The National Space Administration's job was actually snatched away by Xingyao Aerospace, which surprised netizens.

However, at this time in the National Space Administration, Chen Yuan had already signed his name on a space mission agreement.

Li Weimin, who was sitting opposite, also felt that this moment was a bit dazed. After Chen Yuan finished signing, he sighed: "We have known each other for almost a year. I didn't expect that in just one year, you have officially taken over. a space agency project.”

Originally, the China National Space Administration planned to launch the Changliu probe next month.

However, Chen Yuan volunteered to take over the launch mission.

In addition to wanting to see Changliu launch successfully, another reason is to test the parameters of the nuclear-powered rocket in a real launch scenario.

After Chen Yuan submitted the manufacturing results of the space engine, the senior management quickly agreed to hand over the launch of Changliu to Xingyao Aerospace.

"It is indeed a kind of trust that a private aerospace company can undertake a national aerospace project." Chen Yuan put away his pen slowly, with a calm smile on his face.

"I am very optimistic about this launch mission, and I will also go to the site when the time comes."

Full of expectations, Li Weimin left.

Chen Yuan had prepared for the launch of the Changliu detector for a long time in advance.

Looking out the window at the Wenyue-2 equipped with Kuafu space engine surrounded by the launch tower, Chen Yuan was already looking forward to tomorrow's launch mission.

With the further improvement of the facilities at the Shining Star launch site and Chen Yuan's familiarity with the rocket launch process, the launch of Changliu was carried out at the Shining Star headquarters.

Chen Yuan stayed up all night,

The day came quickly. When the light of dawn rose, a large number of netizens poured into the live broadcast room that had already been opened.

Their eyes were filled with too much admiration and excitement for the milky white launch vehicle.

"Come on, come on, have I finally waited for this moment to witness history?"

"I stayed up all night, brothers, just to watch today's launch live broadcast."

"A little inexplicable excitement."

Chen Yuan's off-screen voice sounded in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, the Changliu probe is another lunar probe planned after Changwu."

"Now, Changliu will officially start launching in an hour."

"Its mission is to explore the moon's resource distribution and geological structure and other information to facilitate our subsequent manned landing."

In addition to Chen Yuan's introduction, media reporters who had already rushed to the launch site also rushed to report.

"This is the launch site of the Changliu detector. I am Wang Bingbing, a reporter from China News."

A beautiful female reporter professionally reported in front of the camera: "It is reported that the Chang'e-6 detector will perform a series of complex tasks."

"First, it will land in the south pole area of ​​the moon, where it is believed that there may be large amounts of water ice resources. This will provide important resource guarantees for the construction of future lunar bases."

"Secondly, Chang'e-6 will also carry some scientific instruments to conduct detailed exploration of the physical properties, chemical composition, geological structure and other information of the lunar surface."

"These data will help scientists better understand the evolution and formation mechanism of the moon."

When the female reporter was reporting, many netizens expressed doubts about the launch of the detector.

"Although many people are excited about this launch, I don't think it's anything too special."

What netizens said is nothing special, mainly because the launch of the Shining Star probe has attracted such a big discussion, and it is completely due to the invitation of the navy.

After all, even if Xingyao Aerospace does not take action, the country can still launch Changliu.

"Compared to the previous solutions to rocket recovery technology and the launch of heavy-duty carrier rockets, this live broadcast is really nothing to watch."

Some netizens were dissatisfied that Xingyao Aerospace’s first space mission, which it had been waiting for for half a year, was just to launch a probe to the moon.

Anyone who talks about letting the rocket fly to Mars can make netizens feel that their wait for the past six months has not been in vain.

One person said this, which caused a chain reaction, and other netizens also started to complain in the live broadcast room.

Chen Yuan did not respond to this. After all, he is busy preparing for the launch of the rocket and has no time to talk to netizens.

But this does not hinder the curiosity of netizens.

Some aerospace enthusiasts asked the questions they were most concerned about.

"The Changliu probe should face great technical challenges because it is going to land in the Antarctic. The special terrain and climate there make landing very difficult."

"In addition, the detector also needs to face technical difficulties in deep space communications, navigation and power management."

Chen Yuan also saw these barrages when he took some time, and he felt that netizens' worries were completely unfounded.

"The Weyue rocket itself can help the probe land well, and the communication satellites previously launched on the moon serve as a communication bridge to the earth, which can perfectly solve the problem of deep space signal transmission."

"As for navigation, adding an artificial intelligence system is not a problem at all."

"And because Wenyue is equipped with a space engine, it leaves more carrying space. This part of the space is used to add power to the detector."

"So Changliu's battery life is not a problem at all."

Chen Yuan's answers answered every question and gave netizens a new understanding of Xingyao Aerospace.
