Yang Fang's place was just the first stop. Next, Zheng Kaixiang took them to visit its projects. Unlike other projects at the base, the projects here look more like entering a laboratory. And like some microbiological laboratories, it is very troublesome to get in and out. Even Wu Hao and the others could only see what was going on in the laboratory through the glass. However, they can only take a rough look, and most often listen to the explanations of scientific researchers. Generally speaking, various projects of this type have just been launched and are progressing relatively smoothly.
As for when the results will be achieved, I'm afraid it will take a long time. It's like a seed or seedling has just been planted. If it wants to bloom and bear fruit, it must continue to be cared for.
As lunch time approached, Wu Hao immediately concluded his inspection trip to the Northwest Research Center of the Biological and Life Sciences Laboratory.
He went to the restaurant with Zheng Kaixiang, Yang Fang and the others to have a casual meal. Wu Hao then said goodbye to them and returned to the hotel for a lunch break.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Hao first went to inspect the construction of the base. The main thing is the construction of base infrastructure. Such as the construction of base test areas, living areas, and support facilities.
According to the plan, the construction of the Northwest Research Center is divided into three phases. Currently, the first phase of the project has been completed and the second phase of the project has begun.
After the second phase of the project is completed, it will become a large research base capable of accommodating 1,200 people. And all kinds of supporting facilities must be complete, and the living standard must be able to meet the living standards of second-tier cities.
Since time in the afternoon was relatively limited, Wu Hao mainly inspected the solar power plants and large power storage stations where new lithium batteries are assembled on the periphery of the base.
Now there are autonomous solar panels installed around the base. These solar panels can change their angles in real time according to the angle of the sun, allowing them to receive more sunlight.
And the entire solar power plant is managed by an intelligent system without human intervention. These solar panels will be regularly cleaned and maintained by smart robots, and they can even autonomously replace failed panels and related equipment.
If there are strong winds or sandy weather, these solar panels will automatically retract to avoid damage.
Although it is automatically managed by an intelligent system, there are still technicians on duty here to ensure normal operation.
As for the large-scale power storage station, it is also one of the most expensive infrastructure facilities in the entire base, and it is all composed of new lithium batteries. The electricity generated by the solar power station will be transported here for storage, and then transmitted to the base for use.
In this way, even at night, the base can use the power stored in the lithium battery storage station.
Even if there is rainy weather, there will be no problem. It can support the entire base's full power consumption for three days. Of course, this is an arid desert area, and three rainy days are very rare.
In addition, it is also equipped with a large diesel generator for emergency use. In accordance with relevant development plans.
In the future, the solar panels here will continue to expand in scale, and some wind turbines will also be installed to prepare for special weather conditions and insufficient power supply at night.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Hao and the others immediately contacted the inspection work, and then came to the rocket launch command and control center.
The countdown has started, and the atmosphere in the rocket launch command and control center is very serious. Everyone is doing their own thing seriously.
Seeing Wu Hao and the others arriving, Yu Chengwu, who was standing in the command position, came forward to greet them.
Mr. Wu, let me introduce to you that these are satellite representatives. This time they will also watch the rocket launch live in the command center.
Wu Hao smiled and shook hands with these people. Except for one commercial satellite, the remaining two satellites were scientific experimental satellites from universities. So the representatives who came were all young people. After seeing Wu Hao, these young people couldn't help but go up and shake hands. Some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.
This is the leader of the aerospace department, Director Ding Xingyunding. This time he made a special trip to watch our rocket launch.
Hello, Director Ding, welcome. Wu Hao held the middle-aged man in front of him, about forty years old, wearing a white shirt and smiled.
Haha, Mr. Wu, I finally see you in person, younger than you appear on TV. Ding Xingyun held his hand and said with enthusiasm: "When I came here, the bureau leader told me to carefully observe your rocket launch.
He said that although you have entered the aerospace field for a relatively short time, you have made great achievements in development. In such a short period of time, you have developed a launch vehicle with excellent performance.
Our bureau is very interested in your ultra-low-cost commercial launch vehicle, and we even hope to have the opportunity to cooperate.
With the continuous development of our country's aerospace technology, launch missions have become more and more intensive, and it has become increasingly difficult for us alone.
So it’s time to let private enterprises in. You have technology, capital, and most importantly, drive. With fresh blood like you joining us, I believe our country’s aerospace industry can reach a higher level. "
Thank you, thank you to the bureau leaders for the compliment. We must continue to work hard and strive to contribute to our country’s aerospace industry. Wu Hao smiled.
Hahahaha... everyone laughed heartily after hearing this.
Wu Hao then met and shook hands with local and several other representatives before taking his seat.
Looking at the countdown on the screen and the busy technicians below, everyone couldn't help but put away their smiles and observed carefully.
With a two-hour countdown to prepare, personnel at the launch site were evacuated, and the rocket entered the final self-inspection procedure.
People began to evacuate, and security personnel at the launch site began to check the situation at the site to ensure that everyone left the site.
The rocket self-test program starts!
According to reports from the field, the evacuation of people in the area where the rocket may have fallen has been initially completed, and our staff are starting to conduct investigations with local staff to ensure the safety of the falling area.
Received, please ask our staff to be more careful and check carefully to ensure that no one can appear in the area where the wreckage may have fallen. In addition, the perimeter security should be strengthened to prevent anyone from breaking in. Yu Chengwu said with a serious face.
According to the report, the latest weather information was received from the meteorological department. The weather at the rocket launch window was clear and the rocket launch conditions were met and it could be launched.
Report to the Beijing Space Command Center and wait for the final launch order.
Together with Anxi, Longcheng and Daocheng satellite measurement and control centers, they have entered the final preparation stage.
One hour to prepare!
