Chapter 359 Rocket Recovery

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host's team for winning the professional major league championship, and reward points of 300,000! ]

Golden rain falls.

RSS lived up to expectations and won the 2021 Spring Season championship with a score of -.

They had successfully taken the first step towards their goal of a Grand Slam. That night, Lu Yiming booked a local private restaurant to entertain everyone from the RSS Alliance.

Since RSS won the S Championship last year, the economic value of the RSS e-sports club has skyrocketed. Before the championship, many companies placed a lot of advertisements in Lu Yiming's honor. After the championship, a large number of companies in the e-sports related industries flocked to it.

The CSGO department has not yet made a profit, but the League department has already started to make back its investment.

Originally, Lu Yiming planned to stay with the team in Jiangcheng for a few days. After all, they still had to cooperate with the official to participate in some activities in the next few days. His presence would surely bring a better impact to the team.

But he received a call during dinner that night, and then said with a serious expression: "Okay! I understand! See you in an hour!"

The originally happy atmosphere was frozen under his serious expression. Lu Yiming rarely showed this kind of expression, which made everyone present start to guess in their hearts what had happened.

At this time, Lu Yiming stood up and said, "I'm so sorry! I have to go back to the company for something! You guys continue to eat, drink and have fun! All expenses tonight will be charged to my personal account!"

Fanxing Aviation Research Base.

All the people at the original base have moved away, and the empty base was taken over by Star Airlines. However, in order to conceal their tracks, no changes were made to the exterior of the building, and only a certain degree of renovation was done on the interior.

Chen Shiping.

Lu Yiming extracted the recoverable engine technology from the system. Chen Shiping is the head of the technical team and also the current chief engineer of Fanxing Airlines.

He holds a master's degree in aerospace engineering and aircraft design and engineering. He worked at NASA for three years and suffered a slight disability in his left hand due to a car accident.

This degree of disability does not actually affect his work, but he cannot tolerate the discrimination brought about by the working environment. In addition, the company's special regulations have gradually begun to exclude Chinese people like him.

After receiving the compensation, he simply resigned, returned to China to start a small rocket model aircraft company, and led his team to successfully achieve good results in domestic and international model aircraft competitions. He was later noticed by investors and led his team to master the recycling technology of large rockets.

The call Lu Yiming received was about him.

After bidding farewell to RSS and others, Lu Yiming arrived at Jiangcheng Airport, and his helicopter was already in place without even stopping its propellers. After Lu Yiming boarded the plane, it took off directly to the Fanxing Aviation Research Base.

"Mr. Lu!"

Liu Zhenyun was on the plane. Lu Yiming looked at him and said with a smile, "Sorry for bothering you to come with me! Have you decided on the wedding date? Remember to let me know in advance!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhenyun showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

I immediately said that I would let you know when it was confirmed.

It takes two hours to get from Jiangcheng to the Fanxing Aviation Research Base. The pilot of the helicopter was borrowed by Lu Yiming from He Haijian. At this moment, the helicopter was suddenly used in an emergency. Lu Yiming was wondering whether he should keep it.

of course.

The devices have to be sent to the hospital. After all, Fanxing Group needs to cooperate with local hospitals. It’s not a big deal to send one or two devices.

When it is about to arrive.

The pilot said that they were locked by the fire control radar. Compared to the captain whose hair stood on end, the two people behind him did not react at all to being locked by the fire control radar. It was not because they were not afraid or because they did not understand, but because they trusted the people on the ground.

The plane finally landed smoothly.

The Fanxing Aviation Research Base has a runway for parking not only helicopters but also large transport aircraft. It is itself an aerospace research base with complete facilities, and not just a place for rocket research and development.

Get off the plane.

There has been a group of people waiting at the tarmac for a long time.

Lu Yiming looked at Chen Shiping from front to back, sized up his left hand and said with a smile, "Not bad! It's not shaking anymore! It looks like it's really working!"

Upon learning that Chen Shiping's hand injury was not congenital, Lu Yiming had the idea of ​​helping him heal it. The medicinal bath formula given to him by the system could slowly heal some stubborn old illnesses in the body.

The Chinese version does not involve banned medicinal materials, so it was arranged directly for him. Upon hearing this, Chen Shiping smiled and nodded, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lu! I have had this hand injury for seven or eight years, and I never thought that there would be a day when I would be healed. That medicinal bath must be very precious! Thank you so much, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Yiming smiled and shook his head and said, "Compared to the talent, a little money for medicine is nothing. So, what time do you plan to start the experiment?"

Say something.

Lu Yiming really didn't expect the speed to be so fast. After all, when Chen Shiping joined the team, the handover had just begun not long ago.

However, if you calculate the time carefully, it makes sense. Although the system says it will take half a year to produce results, there is also a provision that a breakthrough can be made within two months.

In addition, his krypton gold can reduce the time by half, which means that a breakthrough can be made in one month.

However, I don’t know whether the system also takes into account the resources that the Fanxing Group can call upon. After all, Liu Zhenyun gave Lu Yiming a brief report on the way, saying that the reason for the rapid progress was mainly due to the artificial intelligence Bai Ze.

Lu Yiming never asked about the progress of the ongoing projects here. After all, it was a confidential project and he sometimes really couldn't control his mouth, so it was better for him not to know.

That’s why Lu Yiming was contacted just before the experiment started.

Hearing this, Chen Shiping said that everything was ready and they were just waiting for Lu Yiming to press the button. Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go! I can't wait to know the results of the experiment!"

The team led by Chen Shiping achieved the best result in history by allowing the rocket to fly to a maximum altitude of 300 meters with a recovery accuracy of 7 centimeters.

Many experiments had been conducted before Lu Yiming came, and the altitude had been pushed to three thousand meters with a recovery accuracy of 1 centimeter. This time the plan is to rise directly to the stratosphere for recovery. If the accuracy difference does not exceed three centimeters, it means that the project has made a breakthrough.

The reason for doing it at night is to avoid information leakage.

Rocket recovery and reuse is not an end, but a means to save costs, which will inevitably come at the cost of loss of transportation capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully weigh the cost-effectiveness of the design plan, meet certain efficiency standards, and shorten the rocket reuse launch cycle as much as possible.

If the overall performance of the rocket is poor or the configuration is not well selected, resulting in reduced recovery and reuse benefits, then this "pure technological achievement" lacks practical significance.

However, Chen Shiping's plan is mainly aimed at saving costs. Currently, the international research on reusable rockets is mainly at the stage of recovering the first-stage rocket.

The shutdown speed of the first stage of the rocket is about 2000 m/s to 3000 m/s, so it is relatively less susceptible to aerodynamic heating. In addition, its structure is large in size and contains many high-value components, so the cost of recycling and reuse is relatively low, which is expected to bring greater benefits.

As the second stage of the rocket enters orbit at high speed, it undergoes intense aerodynamic heating and is subject to stricter mass restrictions, making its recovery and reuse much more difficult and costly than that of the first stage.

Chen Shiping’s plan is a bit crazy!

He plans to recycle both the first and second stage rockets. The result is that when the cost of launching a rocket is one hundred yuan, the cost of recovering the second launch is reduced to thirty percent. Due to the influence of materials, the current theoretical number of times a rocket can be recycled does not exceed twenty times.

Take twenty times as an example.

The normal cost of twenty launches is two thousand, but if Chen Shiping's research and development project is successful, the cost of twenty launches will only be six hundred and seventy.

Looking at this data alone, it seems like nothing.

But when the cost of 20 billion is magnified against 6.7 billion, or the cost of 200 billion is magnified against 67 billion, the importance of this technology is immediately reflected.

launch center.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, you can vaguely see some red lights flashing in the distance. That is the launch pad two kilometers away from the launch center.

The plan is to push the first and second stage rockets to the stratosphere 30 kilometers away for recovery. The first stage rocket will separate from the second stage rocket when it is pushed to 20 kilometers.

The approval had been obtained and relevant staff were present at the launch center. After receiving the order to allow the launch, as the three-second countdown ended, Lu Yiming pressed the ignition button.

"Ignition at 2021:: pm on April , !"

This is the recorder sent by the higher-ups to record the time.

The fireball could be seen rising in the distance, and for a moment the light instantly illuminated the launch center.

The scene of the rocket launching is still quite shocking. You may not feel much movement in the closed environment of the launch center, but you can see the trees swaying.

As the rocket took off, the entire launch center fell silent. The many devices in the front reflected the rocket's launch status, and the relevant staff were observing the various data displayed on them with serious expressions.

The time came to 127 seconds.

The recorder yelled, "Boosters separated!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shiping's expression became serious. It was not because something had gone wrong, but that now it had reached the most critical step.

The time arrived 147 seconds after the rocket ignited.

"First stage rocket separated!"

"Relevant data show that everything is normal!"

"The first stage rocket separated successfully! Start the recovery of the first stage rocket!"

"Signal reception is normal! Backup power activated!"

"Backup power started successfully! Recovery work is proceeding normally!"

At this time, Chen Shiping whispered: "Currently, all the work on rocket recovery instructions is done manually, but the actual operation is done by artificial intelligence."

According to the original plan, recovering the rocket is a very complicated task. After all, the rocket can only be considered recovered if it can be recovered to a specified point. The recovery of an uncontrollable rocket can only be done in the sea. The salvage cost is not cost-effective at all.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded.

At this time, the second-stage rocket was still rising. As the fairing separated, the second-stage rocket turned off its engine and began to fall freely.

The reason for shutting down the engine is to try to restart the engine again in the air. In fact, the real recovery process is to directly reverse ignite the separated rocket after separation to send it to the vicinity of the landing area, and then shut down the engine and start free fall to prepare for restarting the engine again to slow down for landing.

During the entire process, the engine needs to ignite several times to slow down in order to achieve a smooth landing. However, Chen Shiping's plan is to add electronic fuel injection boosters to the first and second stage rockets. Don't underestimate the power of the electronic fuel injection boosters, thanks to solid-state battery technology combined with the electronic fuel injection power system obtained from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the key to the precise landing of the first and second stage rockets.

In addition to the booster at the tail, the rocket has eight small electronic fuel injection boosters arranged around it. With solid-state batteries as energy reserves, the electronic fuel injection engine can abandon its original bulky power source.

As the second-stage rocket shut down its engine at the 332nd second, the first-stage rocket was about to arrive at the designated landing site for vertical take-off and landing recovery.

Normally, the best way to recover a traditional rocket is to use a parachute and choose to land on a designated water surface.

However, the disadvantage is that the landing location is uncontrollable, which will increase the recovery cost.

Vertical take-off and landing recovery is a development trend that has gradually emerged in recent years.

Simply put, some fuel is reserved for the first stage of the rocket after separation, and the main engine is started again during the descent to ensure that the first stage of the rocket lands on the offshore platform or on land landing site.

This solution enables wide-area fixed-point recovery of the rocket's first stage, facilitating rapid factory overhaul and providing better economic efficiency.

However, general rocket vertical take-off and landing recovery plans generally do not have the ability to hover, and rely on landing legs with greater load-bearing capacity to counteract landing impact, which poses a considerable risk.

At present, some ground landing assistance systems are under development, trying to use rope net capture technology to replace landing legs, which is expected to improve the reliability of recovery.

However, Chen Shiping has prepared a special recovery platform for vertical take-off and landing recovery rockets. Using this platform, rockets that do not have the ability to hover can be landed smoothly.

of course.

The requirements are also very high, and the landing error cannot exceed three centimeters. The realization of this technology mainly relies on the technical support provided by artificial intelligence Bai Ze.

There are two large screens in the launch center, each with eight pictures on it, but they are all black and no pictures can be seen.

But soon.

One of them showed a light spot approaching. When the light spot appeared in eight lenses at the same time and disappeared, the staff responsible for controlling the picture pressed a button.

At this time, the black color in the screen disappeared, but it was all smoke and the specific situation could not be seen. It was not until three minutes later that the paper of the second-stage rocket standing upright on the recovery platform gradually appeared.

At this time, a worker looked at the various data displayed on the screen in front of him, then turned his head and said happily to Lu Yiming and others behind him: "The first-stage rocket was recovered successfully! The error is no more than one centimeter!"

When these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became happy, but they did not start cheering right away.

five minutes later.

A spot of light also appeared on another screen. After the spot of light disappeared, the black color faded away. As the smoke dissipated, the body of the second-stage rocket was revealed, also standing upright in the middle of the recovery platform.

"The second stage rocket was successfully recovered! The error is no more than one centimeter!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present started cheering instantly!
