Military Technology

They took Erma to visit the facilities of several bases, and then they came to the last stop of the visit, which was also the long-awaited rocket launch command and control center.

The exterior of the rocket launch command and control center looks very ordinary, just an ordinary office building. If it weren't for the various antennas and equipment all over the roof, I'm afraid I thought I was going the wrong way.

And when they walked into the launch command and control hall, everyone couldn't help being amazed.

In the wide hall, there are large screens all over the three walls, displaying various data and pictures. The office area is divided into several areas by passages. The scientific researchers are busy at the moment, and the atmosphere in the entire command and control hall is very tense.

After being notified, Yu Chengwu walked in towards Wu Hao and the others.

Mr. Wu, Mr. Ma, hello

Hehe, Wu Hao introduced to Erma with a smile, "This is Yu Chengwu, the director of our entire aerospace science and technology research laboratory, responsible for various technical research work in the aerospace field of the company."

Another young talent, it seems that Mr. Wu and your subordinates are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Lao Ma agreed, then looked at the large screens on the three walls of the hall and said, "Gong Yu, can you tell us what stage this launch mission is in?"

Yu Chengwu nodded when he heard the words, "We have reached the final preparation stage before the rocket launch, and the scheduled launch time is less than three hours away.

If all goes well, in more than two hours, our company's first retractable rocket will be launched from here. "

Everything went well. Little Ma and Lao Ma couldn't help being puzzled.

Looking at the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Yu Chengwu explained with a smile, "Yes, from now until one second before the rocket launch, the rocket launch will be terminated.

There are many reasons for stopping a rocket launch, such as problems with the rocket, weather problems, and various other problems, etc., each of which can affect whether the rocket launches normally.

At present, the rocket is in good condition, and the only thing that affects the rocket launch is the weather.

Now the meteorological department is closely monitoring the weather conditions, once the weather conditions permit, then the rocket will be able to launch. "

Oh, I see the weather today is pretty good, it's sunny, and the wind is not too strong, why can't it work? Brother Xiaoma didn't understand.

Hearing Xiao Ma's words, Wu Hao replied with a smile, "The wind we can feel is only the wind on the ground, and the distance from the ground is only about ten meters.

What the meteorological department needs to observe is the change in wind force at various altitudes in the entire airspace, especially in the middle and high altitudes. If the wind speed is faster, the entire launch mission may be terminated or delayed.

Especially since we are launching a retractable rocket this time, we must consider not only the launch, but also the landing and recovery of the first-stage rocket body.

Especially when the first-level rocket body landed, three parachutes were used. This large parachute is more sensitive to the influence of wind.

The cold current has passed through the country in the past few days, coupled with the regional climate, resulting in variable wind speed in the region. Therefore, the launch command center has always been worried that the weather will affect the normal launch. "

Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, Erma also nodded to express his understanding. The so-called man is not as good as God, sometimes this person has to succumb to God's temper.

It's ok,

Don't force it, even pauses and delayed launches are fine. Brother Xiaoma comforted him.

Thank you Mr. Ma Yu Chengwu said with a bright smile.

Why, it looks like everyone is under a lot of pressure in this launch. The old horse is very keenly aware that in the command and control center, the faces of the busy scientific researchers are not only anxious, but also a little nervous.

Yu Chengwu nodded, "Before every launch, there will be such a trace of nervousness and anxiety more or less, which is normal.

Of course, because this is the first truly retractable commercial launch vehicle in our country, there will naturally be pressure.

You must know that this new type of rocket has only a 50% success rate for its first flight. And this kind of retractable launch vehicle has a more complex structure, so the success rate of the first flight is very low. In addition, not only must the launch be successful, but it must also be recovered. With such an extra step, the success rate of the first launch will be even lower.

What's more, Mr. Wu, you came to visit. To be honest, it is also a kind of encouragement for us. "

Hahahaha, this is our fault, sorry Ma smiled and apologized.

hehehehe

Wu Hao waved his hands at Yu Chengwu who was beside him and said, "Okay, stop complaining here, go get busy. I still say the same thing, don't have too much burden, just do your best."

I understand, thank you Mr. Wu, we will do our best Yu Chengwu looked at him and answered seriously, then nodded at the second horse, and then returned to his post to get busy.

Wu Hao also smiled at Er Ma and said, "As the launch is approaching, he will inevitably have some emotions as the commander-in-chief, please don't mind."

Er Ma and everyone present shook their heads, and Lao Ma said with a smile, "In the face of such a difficult task, anyone in this position will feel a lot of pressure, so I can understand.

Well, let's not bother them here, let them concentrate on the final preparations. "

Hearing what the old horse said, everyone nodded, and then walked out lightly.

Noticing Wu Hao's departure, the scientific researchers in the command and control hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, chatted briefly, and then threw themselves into intense work.

In addition to the rocket launch command and control center, Wu Hao smiled at Erma and said, "There is still a while, let's go to the base restaurant to have a meal, take a rest, and then go directly to the landing site and wait for the rocket launch."

Aren't we coming back here?" Brother Ma asked.

Wu Hao shook his head, "What's the difference between watching it on a big screen and watching it in front of a TV? Now that we're here, let's watch it personally, so that the experience will be more profound.

The landing site is not far from the launch site, only about one or two kilometers. The observation station we are going to is located on a sand dune between the launch site and the landing site, and is lined up with the finished fonts of the launch site and the landing site. The field of view is wide, where we can see the situation at the launch site at the same time. "

Hearing Wu Hao's arrangement, Lao Ma and Xiao Ma nodded, expressing their approval of the arrangement. Being able to watch the launch and landing on the spot is enough to prove Wu Hao's confidence in their retractable rocket and their openness and transparency.

To let them go to the observation station is to let them watch with their own eyes how the rocket is successfully launched and finally landed and recovered.

Of course, for Wu Hao, this was also deliberately arranged by him. When the rocket is launched, it is still inappropriate to let these people go to the command and control hall to affect the work of scientific researchers.

So, it is most appropriate to go to this observation station with an excellent view.
