Chapter 178: 60 Stars in One Arrow

Li Tang immediately said: "Number Zero, issue a task to Mike, find a way to get the item from Mark.

By the way, it is integrated with a piece of black jade, reminding Mike that he has to get both together.

Mark is a celebrity, so be careful with your approach and try to be more discreet. "

"Yes, Dean."

……

……

Saturday is the first launch day of the [Shooting Sun] rocket.

In the sea outside the Dishui Lake in the southern financial technology city, a rocket launch ship has long been anchored there, and a huge rocket stands quietly in the semi-submerged part of the ship.

This rocket launch ship is different from the existing common semi-submersible rocket launch platforms.

The whole structure looks like a mountain character, except that the vertical line in the middle represents the rocket to be launched and the huge launch tower that accommodates it.

A huge launch tower is built on top of the semi-submersible part.

However, this tower is closed on all four sides, and the Sun Shooting No. 2 rocket is hidden in this closed tower.

Only the upper body of the closed tower is exposed, and in addition to the spray-painted national flag, there are also the words "Datang Aerospace" on it.

The closed tower is similar to an assembly building, weighing 2200 tons and filled with large areas of curved soft pallets.

It can effectively support the rocket and ensure that the interstage and booster connection mechanisms of the rocket body are completely free from stress.

During launch, the deck of the semi-submerged part of the ship will flip downward, so that the entire rocket will be placed vertically in a launch silo.

In this part, a 0.5-meter-thick layer of [snow mud] was laid.

Not only does it make the launch silo formed by the entire semi-submersible part more sturdy, but it can also withstand the high temperature erosion after the rocket is ignited.

The launch was jointly broadcast live by the news channel of China Media Group and Shanghai Metropolis TV.

At 10 a.m. sharp, as per custom, the 8-hour live broadcast began before the launch.

Originally, CCTV would not broadcast live the launch activities of private aerospace companies, but the order came directly from above.

At this time, the Sun Shooter II had already been refueled, and it took more than four hours to fill the cryogenic tank with more than a thousand tons of liquid oxygen and methane.

The reporter at the scene turned out to be Chen Yao from Shangdu TV Station.

As early as three o'clock in the afternoon, she made a special trip to the Future Science and Technology Research Institute to interview Li Tang.

There are only three questions, and they are basically just flattery.

"President Li, Datang Aerospace, a subsidiary of the Future Science and Technology Research Institute, was able to develop and produce the [Sun Shooting] rocket with the largest carrying capacity in our country in such a short time. What is the secret?"

Li Tang said calmly: "Of course there is a secret, I believe that consumers who have used Longwei series products should have experienced it.

Whether it is a smart phone, smart computer, smart bracelet, smart glasses, etc., or even Longwei's "all walks of life" smart driving system, there are smart assistants of future technology.

Everyone has greatly improved their work and study efficiency thanks to smart assistants.

Of course, our research institute also has intelligent assistants to assist in various research tasks, so we can develop the [Sun Shooting] rocket efficiently.

As for production, I believe that viewers who know us well will be familiar with the [Baigong] intelligent industrial robot.

They are what allow us to produce so efficiently.”

Chen Yao then asked, "I heard that Datang Aerospace is going to set a record by launching 30 satellites in one launch. Are you sure?"

Li Tang showed a faint smile on his face, "Although this is the first launch of the [Sun Shooting] rocket, we still have enough confidence to successfully launch all the StarNet satellites.

In the future, all smart phones, smart bracelets, smart glasses, and smart car systems will be able to connect to the Star Network everywhere.

You will never be offline!"

Chen Yao finally asked: "Will Datang Aerospace's rocket launch in the waters near Shangdu this time become a fixed launch mode?"

Li Tang said: "Yes. Since this year, Space Exploration's Falcon rocket has carried out more than 40 launches. We at Datang Aerospace will learn from them.

In the future, a [Sun Shooting] rocket launch will be carried out every three to five days.

The rocket launch outside Dishui Lake in Nangang, Shangdu City will become a tourist attraction.

We welcome visitors from all over the country and even the world to come here to watch the launch live and feel the distance to the sea of ​​stars.”

At this time, when Chen Yao arrived at the shore of Dishui Lake, a large number of tourists had already gathered there.

Many of them are locals from Shangdu. Although the weather in early summer is a bit hot as it is the weekend, it still can't stop people's enthusiasm to watch the rocket launch at their doorstep.

Behind Chen Yao, the huge tower on the launch ship was still closed.

Unlike most rocket launches, visitors can only see the upper half of the "Sun Shooting" rocket protruding above the tower, and the rest of the rocket can only be seen when it is launched into space.

At this time, thick white smoke began to fill the area around the launch ship, which was caused by the vaporization and overflow when liquid oxygen and methane fuel were added.

The camera tilted slightly and we could see the huge crowds of tourists at the Dishui Lake.

“…My current location is about 8 kilometers away from the launch ship on the sea. As far as we know, some tourists came here specifically to watch the launch of the [Shooting Sun] rocket.

Some of them came here last night to camp and brought along the appropriate photography equipment. Please follow me for an interview..."

A middle-aged woman appeared on the screen, dressed very stylishly.

"Hello, sister. Are you here to watch the rocket launch?"

"Yes, yes, I am from Shangdu. I never dreamed that I would be able to see a rocket launch in Shangdu, and this is the largest carrier rocket in our country..."

Uh, this is said too smoothly, it will be considered as a shill.

The scene quickly turned to a young man. "Handsome, did you come here just to see what happened with the rocket?"

"Yes, I came all the way from Gan Province. This is the first rocket launch of Datang Aerospace, owned by Li Tang, the father of carbon core."

"Oh, you know Li Tang?"

"Of course, he is a role model for our Dragon Country youth. I hope that this time, his Datang Aerospace can also surpass Mark's space exploration."

This is even more excessive, change it!

"Little boy, do you know what you are here to see?"

The little girl in the picture pointed at the launch ship in the distance and said, "Our teacher said that today is the first battle of our Dragon Country's technological hero, Li Tang, as he marches toward the sea of ​​stars. We are here to cheer him on!"

Ah, this...

……

At this time, Li Tang was in the command hall of the space launch building built on reclaimed land.

Taking advantage of today's rocket launch, the big boss of Shangdu City finally came to the headquarters base of Future Science and Technology Research Institute for a half-day tour.

At noon, I even had a meal with the researchers in the cafeteria of the Future Science and Technology Institute with great interest, and tried the internet-famous dishes that had once been on the hot search list.

The command hall of Datang Aerospace has a very surreal shape, as if it is the cockpit of a large spaceship standing in the air.

The whole is a polyhedron, standing on the top of a rocket-like building.

All the display screens in the traditional command hall have been replaced by light curtains, and all personnel in command posts sit in a circle.

In the central area of ​​the circle, the upcoming launch of the Sun Shooting No. 2 rocket and the surrounding scenes were projected.

Everything feels as if you are actually there, and it's as if you are observing the launch from a God's perspective.

In the VIP seats, there were not only the big boss of Shangdu, but also Gu Hongyu, the boss of the Space Administration.

At this moment, although Gu Hongyu had a smile on his face, there was an unconcealable shock and sourness in his eyes.

In short, it's just that the lemon has been offended.

The Future Science and Technology Institute has emerged as a rising star, and more than two months ago it even asked the Space Agency for help in launching a satellite.

It has only been a short time, but we have achieved complete one-stop independence from research and development, production to launch.

Of course, the process from rocket launch to satellite entry into orbit still requires the help of the aerospace tracking and control network, for which Datang Aerospace also paid the fee.

However, the honor of having the largest carrying capacity of this rocket and launching 30 satellites in one launch, which is a record, will not go to the space agency.

The key point is that Li Tang just told him that launching 30 satellites with one rocket also uses a brand-new satellite cabin launch mode.

On the surface, it is a six-satellite launch with one rocket. Six large satellite cabins will place the satellites they carry into designated orbits one by one.

It's chilling to think about a satellite capsule that can carry five satellites with a total payload of 5 tons and can perform free maneuvering and trajectory changes.

I guess the space agency's tracking and control network on the other side of the ocean would be scared to death if they discovered this situation.

If this type of satellite-carrying cabin is carrying something else instead of a satellite, it means it cannot be intercepted.

They can fly over your head and drop the missiles. How can you intercept them in such a short time?

If we want to intercept this satellite carrying cabin, it can maneuver and fly, so how can we intercept it?

Li Tang told him that the satellite carrier module is not only capable of maneuverable flight, but is also designed to stay in orbit for years and can be effectively recovered.

This is like the sword of Damocles, hanging over your head forever.

This directly surpasses the performance of its own Shenzhou series of spacecraft.

No, we must strengthen technical exchanges with the Li Tang Future Science and Technology Research Institute and purchase more new lithium batteries from them to improve our series of spacecraft and satellites.

Li Tang is currently communicating with Zero through the smart bracelet, "How is the latest simulation completed?"

"It's perfect. All conditions match the surrounding conditions of the launch ship at 99.889%."

"Very good." Li Tang felt more at ease.

Although this is the first launch of the [Shooting the Sun] rocket, thousands of launch tests have been carried out in the Zero's full-environment simulation system.

In the latest simulation, the conditions were so well matched that the simulated launch was successful, which means that the probability of problems in a real launch has reached an extremely low level.

This time, it was announced that 30 stars were launched in one rocket, but in fact, 60 stars were launched in one rocket.

There are six satellite-carrying modules, each of which will carry 1.5 10-ton StarNet- satellites.

This is because it is the first launch and there is enough margin to ensure that there are no accidents.

The space agency's boss Gu Hongyu was not wrong. This satellite-carrying cabin could actually be an orbital transporter or an orbital bomber.

It is the prototype of the global low-orbit transportation system designed by Li Tang, which can be regarded as a technical verification and practical test.

Once the mission of this transport to release the satellite is completed.

The technical verification of the entire system has been completed, and the next step will be to improve and equip it.

The strategic mobility capability of the Blue Star Defense Force is about to be established.

Upon hearing the news, Chang Guoqiang's face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally melted.

"Dean, Mark from Space Exploration suddenly made a comment on your Weibo account."

"Well, what's the comment?"
