When I woke up, it was bright. Covering his head, he shook his head repeatedly. This is the reason why Wu Hao doesn't want to get drunk. No matter how good the wine is, the sequelae of being drunk are really uncomfortable.
He took a shower to wash away the smell of alcohol, changed into clean clothes, and went to the base restaurant to have a light breakfast, which gave him some energy.
After some questioning, I learned that Yu Chengwu and Zhou Xiangming had gotten up early and were already engaged in new work.
This morning, they will transport the first stage of the Jianmu-2 rocket from the landing site to the factory building of the base for careful inspection and research.
Although the launch and landing recovery were successful, after all, it is a brand new model and it is the first launch. There are definitely deficiencies. These areas must be discovered through careful inspection, and then research and improvement can be carried out.
Strictly speaking, the first-stage rocket body of this rocket can no longer be used for secondary launches. However, Yu Chengwu and the others still hope to make repairs and improvements as much as possible to conduct a second or even third launch.
Because the more launches there are, the richer the data that can be collected, which is beneficial to the research and development of their related technologies and subsequent projects.
When we arrived at the launch site by car, it was already a busy scene. A huge crane has arrived at the scene, and the nearly 267-meter first-stage rocket body has been successfully lifted.
Technicians are folding the landing gear, then loading the first-stage rocket body onto a specialized multi-wheel transport vehicle, and then transporting it to the base factory.
Mr. Wu. Seeing Wu Hao's arrival, Yu Chengwu, wearing a white safety helmet, rushed towards him.
Well, Cheng Wu, you got up so early, why don't you rest for a few more days. Wu Hao asked with a smile.
Yu Chengwu looked at Zhou Xiangming who was directing the operation not far away and said with a smile: "Everyone is so excited that they can't sleep. It feels like the model airplane that was made with so much time and effort when I was a child has finally made a successful test flight.
Now everyone wants to urgently transport this big thing back, and then analyze and study it to learn from experience.
To be honest, it is difficult for us to determine now whether the success of this launch and landing recovery comes from technical strength or luck.
We don’t want to bet all our success on illusory luck. We hope that through our own efforts, we can copy this success to the next project, and even the next project after that. "
Good, ambitious. Wu Hao showed a look of relief when he heard this. This was what he expected to see. It seems that the scientific research team or Yu Chengwu, Zhou Xiangming and others were not dazzled by the success. They are obviously very lucky. This is worthy of recognition.
Thinking of this, he smiled at Yu Chengwu in front of him and said: "While working hard, you must also pay attention to rest. Our company combines work and rest. So you and Xiang Ming can discuss and give everyone a few more days off so that everyone can Get some rest, and so should you."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Yu Chengwu showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "We will try our best to arrange it so that everyone can have more rest. I have been really busy recently. It will be fine after this period. Then we will give everyone a few more days off. , let everyone have a good rest."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, and then said to Yu Chengwu: "Although we politely rejected the second horse yesterday, I will try my best to satisfy you with the funds and resources that should be provided, and make additional increases appropriately, so you don't have to worry about this.
So at this stage, you have to be careful about these projects to ensure that they develop healthily and steadily.
Also, you need to pay extra attention. The successful launch and recovery of our rocket this time is bound to bring a wave of space boom in the country. These are nothing, but we must also be aware that some companies will use their crooked ideas to poach us.
So you have to pay more attention to this aspect to ensure that the personnel of each project team are stable and the progress of the project is not affected. "
Yes, I will definitely pay more attention. Yu Chengwu nodded and responded solemnly. Competition among domestic peers is fierce, and the battle for talent among headhunters is notoriously fierce.
This is also the reason why many large foreign companies do not apply it after coming to China, and they all complain about the difficulty of doing business in China.
Therefore, Wu Hao also gave Yu Chengwu a vaccination in advance and asked him to pay more attention to this aspect.
After giving these instructions, Wu Hao immediately looked at the huge first-stage rocket body being lifted by a crane and said: "How are the preparations for the rocket to be launched in March? It's only a few months away. "
After Yu Chengwu heard what he said, he immediately got serious and replied: "The manufacturing of the rocket has been completed, and the next step is the testing and improvement stage.
Compared with our previous generation of low-cost disposable launch vehicles, we have made many improvements and optimizations on this ultra-low-cost disposable launch vehicle.
Not only does it continue to enhance the rocket's carrying capacity, it also enhances the rocket's reliability, especially the rocket's emergency handling capabilities after encountering a failure.
In addition, compared with the previous low-cost disposable rocket, this ultra-low-cost disposable launch vehicle has also undergone relevant cost optimization and improvements, further reducing the cost.
Judging from the data we have obtained so far, the cost of this ultra-low-cost disposable launch vehicle has been greatly improved compared to the previous disposable launch vehicle, and its cost has been reduced by about 20%. . "
After hearing Yu Chengwu's report, Wu Hao couldn't help but nodded, showing a satisfied look. The technology of this rocket cannot be frozen just because the last launch was successful. Instead, it is constantly being optimized and improved to make the rocket's performance even better.
As for the superiors, how is the research and development work going? Wu Hao spoke with concern.
The so-called upper stage of a rocket refers to the part above the first stage of a multi-stage rocket, usually the second or third stage. The role of the upper stage is between a launch vehicle and a spacecraft. It has the ability to maneuver autonomously in orbit and has a long flight time in orbit. It can generally start ignition multiple times to meet the needs of different launch missions.
One or more payloads can be sent into a designated orbit, which is vividly called a "space bus" or "space shuttle".
The biggest function of the upper stage is to send satellites and other payloads to different orbits. This is actually not new, and ordinary rockets can also do it.
In fact, the two rockets launched by Wu Hao and others had sent three satellites and two satellites to different orbits.
However, this relies on the thrust of the second-stage rocket and then releases the satellite at different altitudes, thereby achieving the ability to transport it to different orbits.
The upper stage is more free, and its nicknames of space shuttle and space bus illustrate the problem.
It can transport multiple satellites to different orbits very freely and flexibly, which is something ordinary rockets cannot do.
