Chapter 354 Self-developed Satellite
During the chat between Wang Bin and the person in charge, it was soon time for the rocket launch, and the person in charge of the rocket launch also returned to his post at this time, and Sanbai himself quietly watched the erection. The rocket on the launch pad is looking forward to the first satellite being developed by Tiangong Technology in my heart.
Although it is for the research and development of spacecraft and satellites, Wang Bin and his team have already begun research and development of the Tiangong Technology as early as the first rocket of Tiangong Technology.
However, in their rocket research and development, Tiangong Technology has developed four rockets. However, in terms of spacecraft research and development, the progress has not been so fast. Until now, the first satellite of Tiangong Technology has also It is still in the research and development stage.
Of course, this is not to say that the research and development of their spacecraft such as satellites is not smooth. On the contrary, the research and development of their first spacecraft by Tiangong Technology is very smooth.
This is because Tiangong Technology, although it is the first time to develop a spacecraft, but Tiangong Technology does not want to start with the simplest small satellites like other aerospace companies, and then develop the technology with a higher degree of technology and a more complex structure. Medium and large satellites.
The spacecraft they developed this time is not an ordinary spacecraft, but a high-orbit deep-space communication satellite based on the official deep-space communication system, and this satellite must not only have deep-space communication capabilities. , It must also have the capability of a relay satellite, as well as a certain deep space exploration and the ability to detect celestial bodies with a volume of more than one grain of rice within 10,000 kilometers of the earth. At the same time, it must be a variety of spacecraft that are near the earth. Provides interstellar navigation and the ability to avoid space traffic accidents.
Therefore, the satellite they are currently developing is very difficult and the structure is also very complicated. In addition, they did not have a lot of research and development personnel in spacecraft such as satellites before.
At the same time, the weight of the satellite to be developed by Tiangong Technology is expected to reach about ten tons. Previously, the rocket of their Tiangong Technology did not have the ability to send a satellite of that weight to the geosynchronous orbit. Therefore, the research and development aspect is also The soldiers are not in a hurry.
Fortunately, with the successful development of the Tiangong-4 rocket, the first deep-space communication and navigation satellite developed by Tiangong Technology will also be successfully developed.
In other words, it won’t be long before they can use Own rockets to launch Own satellites. Naturally, Wang Bin is very looking forward to it.
Just as Wang Bin was thinking about his own Tiangong Technology satellites, the countdown to the rocket launch had already sounded in the control room at this time, and all personnel in the rocket control room were watching the computer in front of them attentively at this time.
With the end of the countdown, the rocket was also ordered by the person in charge, successfully ignited, and slowly ascending. At this time, Wang Bin also looked at the rocket on the launch pad.
As the rocket climbed, it quickly disappeared from everyone’s eyes. Wang Bin looked at own gaze on the animation video of the rocket launch.
In fact, there was no trace of nervousness in Wang Bin’s heart at this time. Perhaps he had experienced rocket launches more times, perhaps because of his confidence in the rocket developed by Tiangong Technology.
In short, when the rocket was successfully launched and recovered, Wang Bin felt a trace of excitement in his heart and applauded with the people in the control room.
Of course, the people in the control room also applauded one after another at this time, but they weren’t as excited as they were when they successfully launched the rocket for the first time.
“Lao Sun! The heavy rocket that we designed is very successful! Not only did the launch process go smoothly, it successfully put the spacecraft into the predetermined orbit, and even the recovery of the rocket at all levels was also very successful. You have done the most for all of this, Mr. Sun!” Wang Bin said.
“Mr. Wang! This is not my personal contribution. After all, the development and manufacturing of rockets is a huge project. It is absolutely impossible to complete it by myself. So all of these are the research and development and development of rockets of Tiangong Technology. The result of the joint efforts of manufacturing personnel.
In addition, there is also Mr. Wang. The technology and data you provided are the most important reason why Tiangong Technology is able to develop and manufacture this rocket in such a short period of time. So if you insist No one is better than you, President Wang! “Old Sun said with a smile.
After listening to Sun Lao, Wang Bin didn’t say anything, but smiled slightly.
In fact, Mr. Sun is indeed very correct in some aspects. Let alone the equipment used to make rockets, Wang Bin bought them from the mall. For this, Wang Bin paid a lot of energy coins.
After all, the equipment that can manufacture rockets is not cheap. In addition, there are also rocket fuel manufacturing equipment, and the price is not cheap.
Since the rockets developed by Tiangong Technology are all liquid hydrogen-oxygen fuel rockets, Wang Bin and his team have adopted the method of extracting liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen from water to obtain them.
After all, compared to its extraction from other substances, water is the easiest raw material to obtain.
However, compared to extracting from other substances, it is not that difficult to obtain liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen from water, as long as it can be obtained by electrolysis.
However, at the current level of human civilization, the cost of obtaining liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen from water is not small. Taking electrolyzed water as an example, huge electricity is needed for electrolysis.
After all, according to the current level of technology, at least 33 kilowatt-hours of electricity is needed to electrolyze one kilogram of hydrogen, and 33,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity for one ton of hydrogen. If you want to move liquid hydrogen, you need even more electricity.
A heavy rocket requires at least hundreds of tons of liquid hydrogen, and the electricity required for liquid hydrogen electrolysis for only a rocket needs tens of millions of kilowatt-hours.
However, although Tiangong Technology also uses electrolyzed water to obtain hydrogen and oxygen, it requires very little electricity, even only one-tenth of the original level.
This is because the method of water electrolysis used by Tiangong Technology is different from the traditional method, coupled with the addition of some additives to the water, which greatly increases the efficiency of the water electrolysis. Therefore, the cost of rocket fuel is greatly increased. decreased.
Regardless of whether it is a new type of electrolyzed water technology or equipment, Wang Bin bought a huge amount of energy coins from the science and technology mall. That’s why Sun Lao said that they can develop and manufacture Tiangong Technology so quickly. Wang Bin was the first to produce the first heavy rocket.
At the same time, Wang Bin can also foresee that with the successful development of Tiangong Technology’s first heavy-duty rocket, the frequency of launching rockets by Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology will also be greatly increased.
After all, the first rocket of Tiangong Technology, although it will not be reused because it will be used for commemorative purposes, but the second Tiangong-4 heavy rocket is already in the first one. When the rocket was being manufactured, it was already being manufactured, and it is about to be completed now, and the second rocket will be reused in the future, and it must be reused at least ten times.
