Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

This is the Long March 2016B carrier rocket. According to the original history, this launch will be postponed until [-], mainly because the technology is immature.

However, after Huang Mingzhe fanned his butterfly wings, the launch of Fat Five was brought forward, and thanks to the participation and funding provided by Siwei Society, Fat Five became even stronger.

At this time, the payload of Fat Five in low-Earth orbit reached 32.2 tons, and the payload in synchronous orbit reached 17.3 tons, which was greatly improved compared to the original design.

The Materials Research Institute of the Thinking Society, known as the world's strongest materials research institute, is not just for nothing.

After completing the Houyi Project, the relationship between Sisi Society and Academy of Sciences is very delicate, both cooperation and competition.

And Fat Five is the result of the cooperation between the two parties. As early as 2013, the two parties had in-depth cooperation on materials. As a Frostbolt, Fat Five has very high requirements for materials.

After all, liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen need to be stored at low temperature and high pressure, and the rocket engine burns at high temperature, coupled with the intense friction during the launch process, it is impossible for the materials to pass the test.

However, what really brought the two sides together is the industrial design software and industrial operating system of Sisishe. Whether it is the simulation space or the finite element analysis, these are all domestic deficiencies.

Li Guoqing, the commander-in-chief of Fat Five, is in the lobby of the launch center. Although Sisi Society paid most of the funds for this rocket, if the launch fails, he will also have no face.

"Have you checked it?"

"The fuel tank has been tested for the last time and everything is normal."

"Where's the fairing?"

"Testing in progress."

"Be careful."

Li Guoqing arranged it in an orderly manner, but the various departments seemed a bit chaotic, which may have something to do with age. The average age of the R&D personnel of the Fat Five project is only over 30, which is very rare.

Huang Mingzhe was also at the scene. Looking at the somewhat chaotic scene, he frowned and hurried to Li Guoqing's side: "Commander Li postponed the launch time and arranged it until two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Eh..." Li Guoqing, who was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, was stunned: "Mr. Huang, the time is already..."

"Look at the situation now."

Li Guoqing calmed down and took a look. Sure enough, he found a lot of problems. Many departments seemed chaotic, feeling like a headless chicken.

Sure enough, he was too young and lacked effective training. Li Guoqing, who was awakened, immediately postponed the launch time and asked everyone to calm down. He would rather work slowly and meticulously than launch in a hurry.

Looking at the staff and researchers who had calmed down, Huang Mingzhe was relieved. After all, this launch of the Thinking Society invested a lot of money, not only the investment of Fat Five itself, but also the things that Fat Five carried this time. Very big investment.

If it fails, not only tens of billions will be wasted, but also the development of the mirror image project will be delayed.

That's why Huang Mingzhe reminded Li Guoqing that the other party was a fan of the authorities and was too busy to notice.

Fat Five, which was originally scheduled to launch at [-] noon, was delayed for two hours. The researchers and staff who calmed down finally reorganized the launch work.

At noon lunch, everyone ate their lunch boxes in silence, apparently reflecting on their immaturity before.

Huang Mingzhe, Li Guoqing and others gnawed on the lunch box together.

"President Huang, don't dislike our food." Li Guoqing joked while eating.

"It's very simple when I'm usually in a company or a research institute." Huang Mingzhe replied with a smile.

Chen Yao, the chief engineer of Fat Five, picked up a cup of tea: "Boss Huang, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

"You're welcome."

The two drank a cup of tea, and chatted while eating, mainly discussing future cooperation and the future development direction of launch vehicles.

Chen Yao couldn't help admiring the young man in front of him, thinking to himself, the scientists who lived in the same era as Huang Mingzhe were really sad.

"General Manager Huang is not optimistic about launch vehicles"

Huang Mingzhe nodded: "Launch rockets are just an expedient measure. If human beings want to colonize outer space, they must have a more convenient and powerful bridge between heaven and earth."

"It's hard for Mr. Huang to want to develop a space elevator," Li Guoqing asked thoughtfully.

"Haha." Huang Mingzhe smiled without saying a word.

In fact, he has always had a more peculiar idea, but the conditions are not yet ripe, and nuclear fusion has not yet come out. It is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice if he wants to realize that idea.

after lunch.

The intense work continued, but this time Li Guoqing paid great attention to the team's actions so as not to be in a hurry like before.

April 2014, 8, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

At various observation points far from the launch site, domestic and foreign media have adjusted their cameras and telescopes, and many space enthusiasts are also observing Fat Five nearby.

Many people were discussing in low voices.

A white man wearing sunglasses taunted in Texas-style English: "I hope it's not a big firework. Don't launch such a big rocket if you don't have the technology."

"Haha, maybe Don Quixote can defeat the windmill." Another BBC reporter raised his glasses and laughed.

Most of the reporters present could understand English, and those Western reporters were either sneering or laughing.

Suddenly, a female reporter from Yangcheng Daily stood up and said loudly: "Anyone who is unwilling to look at other people's strengths will always see others' inferiority at a glance. I will give this sentence to you."

"Ha ha……"

"I estimate that the possibility of launch failure is relatively high."

"We must take pictures of this splendid fireworks later."

"..." Those western reporters still mocked in their own way, and said it very loudly. If it weren't for the police around and the fact that many people who eat melons can't understand English, these guys would definitely be thrown rotten eggs.

"It's started." An aerospace enthusiast who had been staring at the launch site yelled.

All of a sudden everyone fell silent, picked up the video camera and binoculars to observe the launch pad that was slowly opening in the distance.

10……9……3……1……0

Ignite the fire, and the surging blue tail flame instantly evaporates the pool at the bottom, and countless white water vapor rolls at the bottom.

Launched, the last launch pad was opened, and then the Long March [-]B carrier rocket soared up to [-] miles, and driven by the huge rocket engine, it rushed out of the atmosphere at an oblique angle.

In the command hall of the launch center, everyone is nervously controlling the rocket. The stage of the launch vehicle in the atmosphere is the most dangerous stage, and they dare not neglect it.

……

Seeing Fat Five disappearing from sight, a group of reporters quickly turned on the live broadcast of the national news.

The Huaguo reporters hoped that everything will go well, while those Western reporters prayed for the failure of the launch and were ready to see Huaguo's jokes.
