Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

"David, pack up, let's go back!"

"Uh...don't wait for the core to be recycled at the second level?" David hesitated for a moment.

Karina waved her hand: "There's no need for that."

"OK."

The two quickly packed up their cameras and notebooks, and left the observation area directly, preparing to fly back to Tokyo.

……

Atlanta Space Center.

NASA staff are closely observing the launch of the Long [-]-D through the satellite system.

After all, this is one of their few competitors, and it is also a factor affecting NASA's funding, because the faster China's aerospace field develops, Congress will have to increase NASA's investment.

Director John Max crossed his arms and silently looked at the satellite monitoring data.

Obviously, the performance of the Chang [-]-D is a bit unexpected, especially the amazing space shuttle-style recovery, as well as the ongoing second-level recovery of the core, all of which show that the Chang [-]-D is extraordinary.

Noon on the third day.

NASA is still eyeing the Chang [-]-D's core [-] and core [-].

A staff member came over and whispered in John Max's ear: "Director John! Elon Musk wants to see you."

This guy John Max raised his brows, and then ordered: "Let him come over."

"OK."

After a while, some unrestrained Elon Musk walked in with the staff.

Elon Musk directly gave Director John a bear hug: "Oh! Dear John, long time no see."

"Okay, Elon, get your rough hands off me," said Commissioner John curtly.

"My old friend, you make me so sad."

Director John pointed coldly at the door on one side: "If you are here to be sad, there is a lounge on the side."

"Okay! Let's talk about the business, what do you think of the Long Five rocket?" Elon Musk asked tentatively.

Director John knew what the other party was thinking as soon as he heard it. He probably wanted NASA to support the Space Exploration Corporation's Falcon rocket.

"As you know about the rocket launch order, it's not something I can decide on my own," Director John reminded.

Elon Musk also reminded with a smile: "I understand, but Mr. Director should also understand that only the Heavy Falcon can fight against the Long Five."

When the two were talking.

The flight height of the Changwu-D-core [-]nd stage dropped to a critical point, and after breaking into the Karman line, it ignited briefly three times in a row, and used the auxiliary engine to decelerate and brake.

Until near the altitude of 3 meters, the hollow wings unfolded and the auxiliary engines started. Under the remote control on the ground, the second-level core glides to Wenchang Space Center.

After ten minutes.

The core [-] successfully landed on the runway of Wenchang Space Center.

Under NASA's high-precision satellite monitoring, Director John and Elon Musk clearly saw the second core that successfully landed.

"Amazing technology." Administrator John exclaimed, this is his exclamation as a human scientist.

Elon Musk, who is more concerned about the interests, frowned. The successful recovery of the two-stage core of the Long [-]-D is not a good thing for the space exploration company.

This is the essential difference between a scientist and a businessman.

Chapter 211 Listening to the Run

3 month 9 day.

After six days of flying around the low-earth orbit of Blue Star, the Chang-1400-D core three-stage finally successfully reached the junction area between the low-earth orbit and the middle orbit, that is, the pipeline at an altitude of 1800-[-] kilometers.

At this point, the launch mission is approaching the final stage.

In the command hall of Wenchang Aerospace Center, Chen Yao was still watching.

And Li Guoqing is overhauling the first and second cores these days, preparing for the second launch on April 4.

"Report, the launch of the DT-1 satellite was successful."

The satellite orbit control team immediately took over the control of the DT-1 satellite.

The thin solar panels slowly unfolded, and the satellite's own auxiliary engine successfully fixed the satellite's flight direction on the predetermined orbit after two brief ignitions.

In the next five hours, DT-2, DT-3, and DT-4 were successively put into predetermined orbits and successfully entered orbit.

"The third stage of the core is preparing for orbit correction, targeting the South Pacific spacecraft cemetery."

"The orbit correction is completed, and it is estimated that after 76 hours, the core three will fall into the predetermined area."

Chen Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the mineral water beside him and took a sip, and half an hour later he was holding a briefing on the launch situation in his hand.

Then he ordered the official website to announce the successful completion of the launch mission; the second is to prepare to transfer the control of the four DT satellites to relevant departments; the third is to do a good job of technical summary.

After giving these instructions, Chen Yao went to the maintenance workshop.

"National Day, good news."

Li Guoqing put down the analysis data, raised his head and asked, "The satellite has successfully entered orbit."

"Yes, this is the briefing." Chen Yao handed the briefing to Li Guoqing.

At this time, Li Guoqing is no longer the image of the Mediterranean uncle before, but a middle-aged handsome guy with thick hair.

These days, after he adapted to the biological computer, he adjusted the hormones in his body and stimulated the hair follicle cells to re-grow a thick black hair.

If it wasn't for avoiding being too obtrusive, Li Guoqing wouldn't even need to wear glasses.

Flipping through the briefing, Li Guoqing said with a smile: "The detection of the core level [-] and core level [-] is very normal, better than we expected."

For this situation, Chen Yao was not surprised. Originally, in terms of design and material usage, they had spared 30-40% of the space.

If not for reusability, they could increase the payload of the Long 60-D rocket to around [-] tons.

The two and a group of engineers discussed how to improve and enhance the performance of the Chang [-]-D launch vehicle.
