Chapter 349 Launch
After a careful inspection, the staff confirmed that there was no problem with the spacecraft.

"Loading department, everyone, start loading according to the previous procedure." The person in charge shouted loudly.

"receive."

The staff responded and loaded the components of the space station cabin, graphene solar film panels, main engines, fuel and other goods into the basalt-class spacecraft one by one.

Xuanwu-class No. 001 is to transport two space station cabins, solar thin film panels, space operation robots and a part of fuel.

Xuanwu-class No. 003 and No. 001 transport the same cargo, while Xuanwu-class No. 005 transports two main engines and fuel.

11 month 13 day.

All the cargo has been loaded onto the three Xuanwu-class spaceships, and the staff is conducting the last routine inspection.

At the same time, in the general control room of Jianmu No. [-] base, a large number of staff or researchers have all been in place.

Zhao Hongxing looked at the report, whether it is the weather or other conditions these days, it is suitable for the launch of the spacecraft.

Of course, the weather conditions of the Bazhong base are the most suitable for launching mass projectors, mainly basin terrain, without strong winds such as typhoons.

Relatively speaking, the climatic conditions of the Kaohsiung base are much worse. It is in a subtropical climate, coupled with the topography of the island, and typhoons are very frequent.

"Bureau Zhao, the Beidou system has been adjusted and can cooperate with our launch work at any time. In addition, the Nandou system of the Galaxy Consortium will also cooperate with our launch work." The person in charge of the satellite monitoring department reported.

Zhao Hongxing nodded: "I see."

"Report, Xuanwu-class spacecraft 001 has entered the launch position inside the mass projector."

"The storage power station has sufficient power, enough to support mass projection for 12 consecutive launches."

"The ring airship and the magnetic vacuum cable have been reviewed and can be used."

The heads of various departments reported the relevant situation to Zhao Hongxing one after another.

Wang Tu, Academician Ma, Li Zhongting, Wang Guanghai and others also came to the main control room.

"Red Star, all departments seem to be ready." Li Zhongting said sitting directly next to Zhao Hongxing.

After Zhao Hongxing approved a document, he stretched his waist and replied, "Yes, now it's ten o'clock in the morning on the 15th."

Everyone sat down and discussed some situations in twos and threes in low voices.

These days, they live and eat in the Bazhong Base. They are so busy with this launch plan that the entire launch plan is divided into three times. The first time is at 15 am on the 10th, and the second time is at 15 noon on the 12th. , the third time is at 15 o'clock in the afternoon on the 14th.

Such a high-density launch is a test for all departments of the Pakistan-China Base.

Tick ​​tock... time is approaching every minute and every second.

November 11, 15:9 am.

The eyes of space agencies all over the world are on the Bazhong base.

To the southeast of the Bazhong base, about 5 kilometers away, is the only small town nearby, and it is a small town dedicated to serving the Bazhong base.

Since a few days ago, a large number of domestic and foreign media have entered here, but the 15-kilometer radius of the Bazhong base can only be classified as a red alert area. The reporters can only set up a telescope on a sightseeing platform in the aerospace service town to observe Pakistan. middle base.

You can enter the Bazhong base for interviews. Only the National News and Dongdao Daily, other newspapers do not have this qualification to enter.

Similarly, Dongdao Daily will also conduct panda live broadcasts. After all, they are all subsidiaries of Zhongxing Group, and cooperation is essential.

The Penguin Group is cooperating with the national news to conduct a global live broadcast.

As the time draws near, more and more citizens and netizens turn on their computers, TVs or cell phone bracelets, eagerly anticipating the launch plan of the Pakistan-China base.

Bazhong Base, inside the main control room.

Zhao Hongxing, Wang Tu and others were all inside, and they were all a little nervous at this moment. This is a project worth hundreds of billions, and the first shot must not go wrong.

9:58
"Every department takes its place," Zhao Hongxing said seriously.

"Everything is fine with the power supply system."

"Weather meets launch conditions."

"The bird repellent ultrasonic system is activated."

"Satellite monitoring is normal."

"..."

All departments replied with serious expressions.

"Get ready, enter the countdown to launch." Zhao Hongxing shouted loudly.

［倒计时开始：20……15……10……6……3、2、1］

[Magnetic Vacuum Tube Excitation...Emission]
In an instant, the entire magnetic vacuum cable is excited electromagnetically, and a magnetic vacuum pipeline with a radius of 8 meters runs through the sky and the earth in an instant.

As the launch button is pressed, the superconducting rails of the mass projector and the superconducting rails of the hard vacuum pipe are instantly energized, and the powerful Lorentz force fills the mass projector.

In the monitoring screen of the main control room, through the anti-electromagnetic camera, everyone is watching the Xuanwu-class spacecraft 001 intently.

Moved.

Under the powerful Lorentz force, the Xuanwu-class spacecraft 001, like a wild horse, rushed out of the mass projector with lightning speed, and then under the further blessing of the magnetic vacuum pipeline, the speed became faster and faster. quick.

Boo!
The Xuanwu-class spacecraft 001 pierced the top membrane of the magnetic vacuum pipeline, and it soared ninety thousand miles.

The spaceship breaking through the speed of sound rubbed against the thin air high in the sky, and the screaming sounded in an instant, resounding through the top of the clouds.

With an exit speed of 15 kilometers per second, it took only 9 seconds to reach 120 kilometers in low-Earth orbit.

The autopilot system was activated immediately, and the direction was changed immediately through the auxiliary engine, preparing to enter the 160-kilometer track.

16 seconds.

The orbit correction was completed, and the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft successfully entered the predetermined orbit.

"Success."

Clap... Everyone cheered.

"Don't let your guard down, the surveillance department and the remote control department continue." Zhao Hongxing shouted with a smile.

"Yes." The remote control department and the monitoring department replied excitedly.

After successfully orbiting, the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft began to circle the blue star along its orbit.

The ground control room, through remote control, slows it down and corrects its trajectory.

After more than half an hour, the spacecraft finally reduced its speed to within the range set by the Space Development Committee.

At this time, the orbit of the Xuanwu-class spacecraft 001 passed 160 kilometers above Bazhong City, although doing so would increase the fuel consumption of the spacecraft by 40-60%.

But this is a stopgap measure. Once the space station is completed in the future, they will continue to ascend the orbit until the position of the space station reaches the low-Earth orbit at 450 kilometers.

When the Xuanwu-class 001 spacecraft reaches the designated position, the ground control room immediately activates the space operation robot.

Among the six sides of the spaceship, one of the sides is the hatch, and the hatch automatically protrudes about 5 meters outward.

Under the operation of the ground control room, the space operation robot took out the spare parts of the No. 1 cabin of the space station from the cargo compartment.

Then began to assemble in space near the hatch. These robots specially designed for outer space operations waved eight mechanical arms like octopuses.

They were assembled very quickly and with great precision, and with gel laser welding, the first capsule was assembled in no time.

Immediately afterwards, they carried out the installation of solar thin-film panels on the basis of the No. 1 cabin of the space station.

"Zhao Bureau, the No. 1 cabin of the Xinbazhong space station has been built and can be activated." The person in charge of the remote control department reported.

"Then activate No. 1 cabin." Zhao Hongxing nodded and ordered.

There are three specially-made 6G communication airships in the sky above Bazhong City. The ground control room uses these three 6G airships as a transfer station to send activation instructions to Xuanwu-class airship No. 001.
