The years of red flags

Chapter 1498 Recycling
After the National Day, the weather gradually became cooler and we were about to enter late autumn. A cold north wind also blew in the north.

Huaxing Aerospace is about to launch another satellite, this time using a new rocket with a near-Earth carrying capacity of up to 35 tons. This is the rocket with the largest known carrying capacity in the country.

Not only Jiang Hua will go to this launch, but all the experts in related fields of Huaxing Aerospace will go, and even the relevant leaders and experts from the Space Administration will go.

At the Huaxing Space Launch Base in the north, Jiang Hua was very nervous. After all, this rocket was a new model and it was the first launch. Even the experts at the base were not completely sure whether it would be successful.

He and the head of Huaxing Aerospace looked at the display screen nervously. The launch procedure had not yet begun. Experts from Huaxing Aerospace and the Space Administration were nervously conducting the final inspection of the rocket.

The head of the space agency stood behind Jiang Hua and said, "Jiang Hua, you have made great strides. This rocket has surpassed our Long March 5 in one fell swoop. If it succeeds, it will be the rocket with the largest carrying capacity in our country."

"So I'm very nervous right now." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "This is making history, but history is not so easy to make."

"Relax a little, it doesn't matter if you fail. If you fail, you can learn a lesson. If you succeed, it's even more gratifying."

"Pfft." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Leader, although I am not superstitious, I hope you can say something auspicious at this moment."

The leader smiled and said, "Science requires rigor. Auspicious words are useless. Of course, I hope you can succeed. The greater your carrying capacity, the larger our space station will be. In our preliminary plan, our space station will be smaller than the existing space station. It is completely restricted by the carrying capacity of the rocket."

Ma Hui said casually: "In fact, we also have a rocket with a carrying capacity of nearly 60 tons."

The leader asked excitedly, "Really?"

Ma Hui nodded: "Of course it is true, but it is still on paper for the time being. The first launch may have to wait until the year after next or the year after next."

The leader held his chin with his hand and thought for a while: "Have you passed the theoretical certification?"

"Passed." Ma Hui said with a smile: "Thanks to our eldest son, our thrusters have made further progress. Otherwise, it would be a long time before the launch vehicle can be launched."

"Oh, it's the high-temperature coating that did the trick." The leader suddenly realized, "Jiang Hua, I'm formally asking for cooperation here. This heavy-lift launch vehicle is of extraordinary significance, so the space agency wants to cooperate with you to make this heavy-lift launch vehicle mature as soon as possible."

Jiang Hua looked at Ma Hui and nodded: "Okay, but doesn't your space agency have to make some statement?"

"Are you asking us for funding? We are very short of funds."

Jiang Hua laughed dumbly: "Leader, it's not appropriate to speak in secret in front of others. Five billion US dollars have been transferred to your account a few days ago. That's nearly 40 billion. You said you were short of funds."

"We have already made the budget." The leader shook his head excitedly: "We can support your best team of experts. This is something that cannot be measured by money."

"If you really don't want to spend a penny, then the ownership of this carrier rocket will belong to us alone." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "If your space agency wants it, you have to pay me."

"You're too stingy." The leader said with a smile, "Can't you be more generous? We helped after all, can't we give it to you for free?"

"We are a private company. We need to make a profit. Otherwise, we can't continue to operate. We don't want to keep idle people in the company. Do you think we will give it to customers for free? Can we give it to customers for free?"

"You're so stingy." The leader smiled and said, "Can the technology be shared?"

Jiang Hua looked at his leader and said, "You have sent experts to conduct in-depth research. Can I hide my technology from you?"

"Look at what you said. We are an official organization after all. We must respect intellectual property rights."

Jiang Hua nodded: "If you say so, then I'm not sleepy anymore. We can have a good chat about the licensing fee." "It's boring if you keep talking about money. Can you have some big feelings and a big picture, a big feeling for the country and the world?"

Jiang Hua shook his head: "I don't want to talk to you about this. It's too expensive to talk about this."

"It's always okay to make it cheaper."

“We can talk about this.”

In fact, everything has rules and regulations, and we just need to follow them. The reason why these two people were chatting about everything was to relieve the tension before the launch.

The scheduled launch time is finally approaching. There is a tense atmosphere in the entire launch control room. The final electronic test is being carried out in an orderly manner, and in the end, of course, everything is normal.

As the commander-in-chief issued the order, all on-site staff evacuated and the launch officially entered the countdown. Jiang Hua's heart suddenly tightened again.

The leader patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax a little and don't be nervous."

"That's easy to say, but what if it's a space agency project?"

The leader nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if it was a space agency project, I would probably be more nervous than you are. But it's no use being nervous. You have to trust the researchers."

As the commander's voice sounded without any emotion, the countdown began, nineteen eighty-seven, and slowly to five four three two one.

"ignition."

At the commander's command, his brother pressed the button and saw on the big screen that flames began to come out of the rocket's rear end. After a short pause, the rocket began to soar straight up.

Everyone at the scene was nervous. This was the most critical moment. Most rocket accidents occurred within the airspace above the launch site.

Watching the rocket climbing steadily upwards, Jiang Huaxin fell down little by little. In the end, only a small bright spot could be seen in the sky, and it eventually disappeared.

Cheers immediately rang out in the command post.

"Success."

The commander-in-chief was very clear-headed: "Now is not the time to celebrate. Pay attention to the rocket's flight posture immediately. Success will only be achieved if it can successfully enter orbit."

The researchers immediately returned to their respective positions and began to closely monitor all the data and the news coming from various observation stations.

The leader said with satisfaction: "In my opinion, this rocket has been successful. The next focus of our work is to build this heavy-duty rocket."

Ma Hui smiled and said: "In fact, we have another goal. We want to achieve the recovery of heavy rockets. One-time recovery is too expensive."

"It's not easy."

Jiang Hua smiled and said: "It's not easy but we have to do it, but SpaceX is already researching it and we can't fall behind."
