A genius tech empire

The group returned to the command hall.

Before Yang Congming watched the live broadcast of rocket launches on TV, he could always see experts and scientific and technological workers in work clothes planning tactics here.

Now the on-site experience is a little clearer. I saw the scientific and technological workers sitting in the middle operation area, methodically busy, reporting data to the commander from time to time.

Standing behind the operation area is commander Hu Yudong, born in the 1980s, the youngest commander of rocket launches in my country, the "01" commander of the first flight of the Long March 5 carrier rocket, and the "helm" of the magical arrow.

Since Blue Arrow has no experience in measurement and control, the task of measurement and control of rocket launch is given to the staff at the Wenchang launch site.

At the very front of the hall, there is a display screen that almost occupies a wall, broadcasting live footage from the rocket's camera.In the picture, the first stage has been separated, the second stage engine is working, and the back of the rocket is completely dark.Yang Congming noticed that the rocket was almost sideways at this time, with only a small tilt angle.

Proving that the rocket is approaching its intended orbit means that the second-stage rocket engine is about to separate. After the second-stage rocket engine is separated, the third-stage rocket engine will start to ignite before long.

Zhang Changwu stared at the display screen since he entered the hall. In fact, it has only been more than two minutes since the launch of the rocket.

The rocket's acceleration was very fast, and Zhang Changwu had no time to relax, and it came to his most tense moment.

"Sure!" the other two founders exclaimed together.

At this time, the staff did not have time to deal with them. The scientific and technological workers operating the computers were nervously measuring and feeding back various data, while the commander was instructing various tasks.

"The fairing is separated."

As the commander's voice fell, it was seen on the display that the shell of the rocket's head was divided into two halves from the middle and dropped to both sides, revealing the artificial satellite that was wrapped in it.

"Taiyuan radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

"Dongfeng optical radar tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

"Qingshan USB tracking is normal, and the telemetry signal is normal."

The staff reported the state of the rocket after the fairing was separated.

At this time, the rocket continued to fly...

The aerospace enthusiasts watching the live broadcast began to feel nervous. They held their breath for fear that they would blow the rocket away from the sky for fear of exhalation.They knew that after the fairing was separated, it soon came to the shutdown and separation of the secondary rocket engine.

After flying for another period of time, the rocket reached a predetermined speed and altitude.

"Secondary rocket engine is shut down and separated." The commander commanded again.

The second-stage rocket engine stalled and fell off. At this time, the acceleration of the rocket was zero, almost level with the earth.

Under the action of gravity, the rocket continues to fly by inertia until it is tangent to the orbit, and the three-stage rocket engine ignites for the final acceleration.

At this time, even the people in the Investment Department of Country Garden who were next to him were breathing quickly. Before they came to watch, they had known in advance. Two years ago, at this time, the launch of Suzaku 1 failed.

At the same time and at the same place, it depends on whether they can have different results.

The three co-founders of Blue Arrow, staring at the display screen, clenched their fists, all of them showed their nervousness.Last time there was a problem with the three-stage rocket engine, so what will happen today?

In front of the live screen, the audience waved the five-star red flag and shouted "Come on" in unison.

Soon, the rocket accelerated to the first cosmic speed, which is 7.9km/s.

"The third-stage rocket engine is off, and the stars and arrows are separated." The commander calmly ordered.

As the password was issued, the engine shut down button was pressed, and the flame of the engine was instantly extinguished. Then the satellite ejected from the rocket carrier and entered the predetermined satellite orbit.

So far, the launch mission of the launch vehicle is completed.

"Oye!"

In the hall, there were earth-shattering cheers, and their faces were full of joy, and soon a wave of applause rang out.

The sound of "Papa Papa" lasted for a long time.

Zhang Changwu and the three people first wetted their eyes, then hugged each other, expressing their excitement.

"It succeeded! We succeeded! We succeeded finally!"

Yang Congming doesn't have the complicated mood of them, but he is sincerely happy for them.

At this time, the command hall is a sea of ​​joy. In front of the live screen, there is no exception. In Qiaotou Park, in front of the 60-square-meter LED display, people are jumping and jumping with joy, even hugging strangers around them.

In the hall, Zhang Changwu's phone rang continuously.Some are from peers, such as Interstellar Glory, Lingke Aerospace, etc., and most of the calls are "congratulations"; some are investment institutions who call to ask if they want to raise funds.

Tonight will be a sleepless night.

The next day, in the office.

"This station has received news that the Zuzque-2 carrier rocket of my country's commercial aerospace blue arrow company was successfully launched into orbit yesterday. The Zuzque-2 is the first medium-sized rocket successfully put into orbit in my country's commercial aerospace field, which means a new era for my country's commercial aerospace. s arrival."

Yang Congming discovered to his surprise that he saw the news report of Blue Arrow launching the rocket on CCTV.

The CCTV report made Blue Arrow famous all of a sudden, and other news media have also reported one after another to let people know: my country has such a commercial space company that can launch satellites.Someone noticed the shareholders behind Blue Arrow and dug them out.

Overwhelming comments online.

"666, awesome Blue Arrow!"

"Extreme Technology has the foresight, invest in Blue Arrow, and it hasn't been long before the acquisition, the rocket launch is successful. This is a profit."

"I noticed that Xtreme Technology has invested in electric cars and aerospace companies. Do you want to learn Musk?"

"Blue Arrows is far behind spaceX. What's good to report."

"Upstairs, you don't even look at when spaceX got up. It's been more than ten years, can it be great?"

"Hey, when can domestic commercial aerospace catch up with foreign countries?"

"Didn’t everyone notice that one of the shareholders of Blue Arrow was invested by Country Garden? Is this a trouble in Country Garden, is it building a house in space?"

"Hahaha, building a house in space? Good idea!"

The successful launch of the rocket into orbit caused Blue Arrow to explode. It coincided with an important period of domestic competition for satellite orbital resources. Major satellite companies, research institutes, etc. have extended their olive branches, and Blue Arrow received soft orders. The task is scheduled to next September.

After consulting Yang Congming, Zhang Changwu accelerated the research on the industrial production of Zhuque-2, striving to complete the order as soon as possible.

At the same time, Blue Arrow's R&D team is not idle. One of the co-founders led the team to continue to improve the Suzaku II, and the other led the team to develop the rocket recovery technology.
