Chapter 152: Suzaku- launches! Explodes!

now.

The audience was already filled with enthusiastic reporters.

As the protagonist of this press conference.

Lu Ming took the lead and stood on the stage.

And selected several questions from reporters to ask.

"Mr. Lu, when was this rocket launch center built?"

"Why was there no news before?"

"Construction started half a year ago. I would like to thank all the leaders of Dongshan Province, especially the two leaders! Without their strong support, we would not have been able to complete the construction so quickly."

"So, Mr. Lu, what is the purpose of the rocket you are going to launch later? Can you tell us about it?"

"Of course!"

Hearing the reporter's question, Lu Ming's eyes lit up, "No problem!"

Immediately, in front of the reporters and all the viewers in the live broadcast room, he introduced, "The rocket launched this time is called 'Suzaku-1'. It is a bold attempt by our Deep Blue Company in space exploration!"

"What is bold?"

“Because it’s not just as simple as launching three communication satellites!”

"the most important is--"

"Testing our newly developed reusable rocket!"

Reusable... rocket?!

Upon hearing this term, the eyes of the reporters present suddenly lit up.

Are rockets also reusable? How is that possible?!
After hearing Lu Ming's words, the netizens in the live broadcast room showed expressions of disbelief.

[Oh my god! What the hell! Can rockets be recovered? Won't they just burn up when they break through the atmosphere?]

[I have little education, so don't lie to me. You can't turn it into a gimmick! ]

[Oh! Musk has failed so many times. I feel that commercial rocket launches are a very unreliable thing! ]

[But it's pretty cool that they have so much energy to build a rocket launch center! ]

[Look at the back, is that the rocket launch tower? It’s huge! ]

Faced with the reporters' interest in reusable rockets, Lu Ming immediately introduced to them his concept when manufacturing Suzaku-1.

"Traditional launch vehicles are disposable. After launch, they fall back to the ground or burn up in the atmosphere, often leaving only some metal fragments. However, after a vertical take-off and landing launch vehicle falls back to the ground, it only needs to be slightly repaired and refueled before it can be launched again, which greatly reduces the launch cost."

Hearing Lu Ming's answer, Yang Zhenghe, who was sitting in the first row, suddenly had his eyes brightened!
Zhao Mu, who was standing aside, showed an expression of disbelief on his face after hearing Lu Ming's words.

Looking at Yang Zhenghe standing aside, he asked uncertainly.

"Mr. Yang, I remember that the reusable rocket is a space project that the country is secretly researching, right? How did Lu Ming develop it independently? Did someone at the Space Administration leak it?"

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Yang Zhenghe just waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at Suzaku No. 1 in front of him with burning eyes.

After a long time, he shook his head to dispel Zhao Mu's idea and just spoke indifferently.

"Well, if the second place winner copied the first place, it would be understandable, but how could the first place winner copy? As far as I know, although the reusable rocket is the next key project of the space agency, it is still in the theoretical stage and there is no design plan at all.

All of this is the result of Xiao Lu's own research and development. I have to say that he is indeed a genius! It's just that the number of satellites... seems to be a little less.

But if the rocket is reusable and can save costs, it seems that it is not impossible."

Apparently, some of the reporters in the audience had the same idea as Yang, so one of them couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mr. Lu, may I ask how much the Suzaku-1 can carry? Why can it only carry three communication satellites? Is it because it doesn't have enough carrying capacity?"

After hearing the reporter's question, Lu Ming pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That's true. Currently, our Suzaku-1 can only carry three tons of cargo. But don't worry. The reason why we only put three communication satellites is also the result of our precise calculations."

Having said that, Lu Ming simply started to explain science to everyone.

"In theory, a Bluestar geostationary orbit communications satellite can cover 40% of the Bluestar surface, and any communication stations on the ground, at sea, or in the air within the coverage area can communicate with each other simultaneously.

Three geostationary communication satellites equally spaced above the equator can achieve global communications except for some polar regions, which is why we only launched three communication satellites this time."

Ho!
After hearing Lu Ming's logical and logical speech, the reporter stopped asking questions.

After nodding, he sat down and left the opportunity to other reporters.

After Lu Ming found a few more reporters and answered their questions.

Finally, Lu Ming waved his hand, and Lan Maocai on the side immediately announced the end of the press conference.

Next, it’s time for the exciting rocket launch!
In an instant, barrages of comments were flying around in the live broadcast room.

In just a few moments, the number of people in each live broadcast room exceeded 100,000!

Witnessed by countless netizens, Li Jun, on behalf of the Dongshan Provincial Department, personally approved the document allowing Lu Ming to launch.

Then, under the gaze of countless audiences.

Lu Ming directly pressed the rocket launch button!
I saw that the rocket launch tower that had been sealed began to slowly open.

The full picture of Suzaku-1 was finally revealed to everyone!
The layer of red paint on it represents Daqian red.

The audience in the live broadcast room were overwhelmed with excitement!
At this moment, the fuel inside the rocket began to slowly accumulate power.

The temperature around Suzaku-1 began to rise rapidly and continuously!

Because it was so hot, the surrounding air was slightly deformed by the heat.

Finally, a large amount of yellow-red flames erupted from the bottom of the rocket!

"boom--"

The next second, the rocket launched directly from the ground and flew straight into the sky.

The four boosters are running at full power!

When the flight reached an altitude of 10,000 meters, everything suddenly fell off!

Immediately afterwards, the first stage rocket, interstage and second stage rocket at the bottom of the rocket all fell off.

Only the payload and the final stage are left, still flying freely towards the sky at high speed!
Immediately, Lu Ming gave orders to his staff who had been preparing for a long time.

"Begin preparations for recycling!"

Suddenly, all the engineering vehicles were ready.

Layers of thermal insulation nets and buffer layers were immediately laid under the original vertical landing platform.

Witnessed by countless reporters and netizens, the rocket actually slowly rose vertically and then landed back on the vertical lifting platform!

The moment the rocket returns to the vertical lift platform.

At this moment, the entire live broadcast room was instantly ignited!
