Chapter 462: Countdown to the Launch of the Core Module
As various forces began to invest in the construction of the space industry on a large scale, the entire earth suddenly became calm, except for the sporadic wars in some places.
Of course, Wang Bin did not pay attention to what happened in the world, because Wang Bin had already anticipated that as Tiangong Technology successfully developed aerospace planes, it meant that the entire process of human civilization finally took place. With the tremendous changes, the nations of human civilization will certainly look at own from the earth to space.
At the same time, Wang Bin is not surprised that the Bald Eagle has developed its own accessory. After all, as the most powerful country in the world, it is still capable of developing aerospace aircraft, but the price they have paid is absolutely not small.
At the same time, after more than two months of research and development, Tiangong Technology’s Tiangong-9 rocket was finally successfully developed at this time, and it has also been manufactured and can be launched at any time.
The most important thing is that their first self-designed high-orbit space station has been designed at this time, and its core module has also been manufactured. Therefore, the conditions for their Tiangong Technology to launch the high-orbit space station are ripe.
Originally, according to Wang Bin and his Tiangong Technology’s plan, they had to send this core cabin to the sky a few days ago. However, due to the unsatisfactory weather conditions, there has just been a very strong one in the past few days. The typhoon will log in where he is, causing Tiangong Technology to delay the launch.
At the same time, there is another reason, that is, there are big people in their Tiangong Science launch this time, they will come to their Tiangong Technology to visit and watch the process of launching the core module of the high-orbit large-scale space station. Technology can be carried out a few days later.
As the launch time approaches, the space center of Tiangong Technology is too busy to turn around at this time. You must know that the rocket launched by Tiangong Technology this time is no longer a small one or two hundred tons. Rockets are not even large rockets of one to two thousand tons, but super heavy rockets with a total weight of more than three thousand tons.
And this is the first launch of this rocket, so in order to ensure that this launch can be completed smoothly, everyone at the Tiangong Technology Launch Center dare not take the slightest care.
After all, if there is a problem with such a heavy rocket and the launch fails, then the consequences can be imagined, not to mention that there will be big people coming to watch this launch.
You must know that this rocket launch is not a playhouse!
It is to send the core module weighing 40 tons to an orbit of 5,000 kilometers, and after the core module is safely delivered to the predetermined orbit, the rocket body must be returned to the earth and landed safely. The predetermined location is the aerospace center on the other side of the desert.
After all, the volume of this rocket is really too big, and the recovery of the rocket has a risk factor that exceeds that of the rocket launch, so no matter it is from Tiangong Technology or the official side, they dare not let the rocket directly in the sky. Recycling here by Industrial Technology.
However, if it is placed at sea for recovery, then the difficulty is even higher. After all, ships at sea are shaking, even for ships of several hundred thousand tons, so the difficulty of recovery will be greatly increased. .
The Great Desert Space Center is different. At this time, after more than two months of construction, the Great Desert Space Center has initially completed the construction of the rocket launch site and recovery site. At the same time, the rocket manufacturing and storage and R&D workshops are all Has been built one after another.
In particular, the area of the rocket launch and recovery site is very large, so it is most appropriate to place the rocket on the side of the desert for recovery.
Most importantly, with the completion of the construction of the large rocket manufacturing workshop on the other side of the desert, it will not take long for them to move the rocket R&D, manufacturing and launching centers there.
However, if rockets like No. 9 are recovered here, it will be difficult to transport them to the desert at that time.
Therefore, it is better to recycle it there now, by then, they will be able to save a lot of transportation costs.
At the same time, the space station core module with an orbital altitude of 5,000 kilometers and a weight of forty tons is of great significance to Tiangong Technology or to the government, so everyone attaches great importance to it.
In order to be able to successfully complete this launch, the government even sent hundreds of space experts to help.
You know, these contract experts are all genuine aerospace experts. They have participated in rocket launches many times, but they are not those bricks!
At the same time, on the launch site, Tiangong Technology has also expanded and modified it many times. At this time, it has reached the mark of being able to launch a super-heavy rocket, which is no longer what it used to be.
The entire launch site has reached tens of thousands of square meters, and is constructed with high-standard special steel and cement. Its strength is very high, and it can definitely meet the launch standard of a three-thousand-ton rocket.
However, because this space center is built in the mountains, at this time, the expansion of this space center has reached its limit.
If they want to launch a larger rocket, the situation at this launch base can no longer be satisfied. In fact, this is the reason why Tiangong is eager to move the rocket launch to the great desert.
After all, now, as Tiangong Technology has successfully developed a three-thousand-ton rocket, the research and development work on larger rockets has already begun at this time.
According to estimates, the total tonnage of their new rocket of Tiangong Technology will exceed 5,000 tons, the diameter of the entire rocket will exceed 10 meters, and the height of the rocket will reach 80 meters or even more than 100 meters. .
For such a large and heavy rocket, the launch site here certainly cannot meet the conditions for launch, while the launch site at the Great Desert Space Center can meet the conditions for launch.
After all, according to the construction standards, the construction standards of the Aerospace Center launch site on the other side of the desert can meet the launch standards of 10,000-ton rockets!
Of course, with the relocation of the rocket R&D, manufacturing and launching departments, the aerospace aircraft R&D and manufacturing department of Tiangong Technology will also be relocated. By then, the company will develop and manufacture in-atmospheric aircraft and their new Tiangong Technology. Department, that is, the research and development and manufacturing of combat platforms in the atmosphere.
In addition, part of the Phoenix-kt1 aerospace aircraft will also be produced here, at least until the production line on the other side of the desert is fully established, all aerospace aircraft and aircraft in the atmosphere will be placed Production here.
Of course, for the relocation of Tiangong Technology’s rocket and aerospace aircraft, both the R&D department and other technology personnel agree very much, because they have already felt it deeply and continue to stay here. The situation here will change. How much restriction will be imposed on their future rockets and aerospace planes.
