The final assembly plant and rocket launch platform at the Jiuzhou Science and Technology No. 1 Experimental Launch Site transitioned from the vertical assembly test plant, with the rocket movable launch platform "carrying" it.
The movable launch platform is called the transition "umbilical tower" and can ensure that the rocket remains vertical from assembly completion to launch.
According to Academician Li Lao’s introduction, the sizes of various types of launch platforms currently in service in Daxia are developed based on the actual conditions of active launch vehicles.
"Our launch platform is built very reasonably. After all, this location is not suitable for building a large platform. There are not many places as unique as our Daxia Wenchang Space Launch Site.
I hope that our company’s next official launch site can go further. "
When Gu Qing heard this, Xuanwu again very wisely put the information about the Wenchang launch platform on the projection interface.
The rocket launch platform in Daxia Wenchang is nearly 70 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of more than 20 stories.
The upper surface area of the platform reaches more than 600 square meters, which is equivalent to one and a half basketball courts. The entire platform weighs 2,000 tons.
It not only has a mobile function, but also has a protective effect. Even on this rocket launch platform in Wenchang, the rocket can be transferred directly to the launch area without changing all connection status. After arriving at the launch area, it can be refueled and launched directly, shortening the test time in the launch area.
This exaggerated practical ability is obviously the result of many engineers and scientists burning countless gray hairs.
However, Gu Qing is not envious. After all, the launch site can be built better by spending money, but things like rockets and satellites are not so easy to get.
Don’t you know that the big guys at Daxia Aerospace Engineering are “charity-minded”? Or maybe that boss is really so awesome and has been giving the green light to Jiuzhou Technology. Anyway, even Gu Qing doesn’t believe that his rocket can use the 130-ton reusable liquid independently developed by the Sixth Institute of Daxia Aerospace Technology Group. Oxykerosene afterburning cycle engine.
It has only been more than two years since this thing was announced, but it can be "downgraded" to commercial use so quickly. It is really...
"Are you afraid that our company will also start to tackle difficulties in the engine field?"
With some emotion, Gu Qing turned his attention to the launch pad not far away.
Traditional liquid rocket engines work in harsh environments of high temperature, high pressure, and large vibrations, and are designed for single use.
This cycle engine is a space-to-ground shuttle power unit built by Daxia for the reuse of the new generation launch vehicle. The design team proposed the goal of reusing the engine 10 times. Except for the easily replaceable ignition device, all other components can be reused.
And according to the R&D team, this engine completed the development process from scheme design to full-process demonstration and verification in just one year.
Outsiders would only think it was unclear when they heard it, but Gu Qing knew why the development process of this engine was so fast.
Because most of the components of this engine are designed on the Jiuzhou Industrial Software Platform, and many components use new process technologies such as 3D printing, automated welding, and intelligent assembly.
Although his own company's R&D team could also come up with a better rocket engine in about the same time, considering that the government is willing to "share" these high-precision technologies in order to allow his company to "develop harmoniously", the young boss Gu naturally chose Agreed and paid the bill.
After all, Gu Qing is also aware of the concerns of the top management. If a private technology company in Daxia brings the overall rocket technology to the forefront of the world, then as long as it takes "a little more time" to develop missile-related technologies, it will immediately become the best in the world. arms chief.
That is not what Daxia officials want to see, because the five largest arms dealers in the world do not allow a sixth person to exist.
As for which ones are the top five?
Of course it’s Wuchang rice.
After visiting, browsing and checking for two hours.
"How is the progress of the final assembly test?" Gu Qing suddenly asked.
A doctoral supervisor next to Li Lun picked up his work tablet, made a few strokes very skillfully, and then said with a happy expression: "Everything went well.
and are already installing satellites
For these loads, the 130-ton reusable liquid oxygen kerosene supplementary combustion cycle engine independently developed by the Sixth Institute is very good. The performance data of each engine are within a reasonable range, and there are no other special circumstances. "
Seeing his student's dissatisfaction, Li Lu snorted and said, "What's so exciting about this? Our company's industrial software is used, and the machine tools are also top-notch in the country. I heard that the working robot arm is also the best." The special batch sold by our company, plus more than 30% of the components are 3D printed, and will undergo multiple inspections before leaving the factory. If there are still problems after they fall into our hands, I will not go back and scold them. ?」
After being scolded by Li Lun, the doctoral supervisor's face brightened, and then he nodded awkwardly.
He understood that his teacher was not joking and talking big words, but would actually do such a thing. After all, his teacher was a leader in the field of rocketry in Daxia. When he returned to Daxia Aerospace Science and Technology Group, there was no one who The senior management dares to disobey...
Li You, who had just entered the door, when he heard the old academician's sarcastic remarks, he naturally smiled and handed the doctoral supervisor a step.
He said: "The steady-state micro-beam SS1MB light source developed by our semiconductor department has extremely powerful advantages in 3D engraving printing, so now many engraving companies in Daxia, as well as those engaged in high-precision manufacturing, are requesting Our Xinguang Technology licenses this light source equipment to external parties.
Daxia Aerospace Technology Group is also one of our senior partners of this light source, so these in-depth cooperation can proceed in such an orderly manner.
If there is a problem with these important equipment we need, Daxia Aerospace Technology Group will not be willing to see the problem occur. Therefore, when these engines and related components leave the factory, they have to go through a test process that is definitely higher than the number of rockets used in launch missions. many. "
I heard Li You explain this. The PhD supervisor was so excited that he could not calm down for a long time.
His old employer Daxia Aerospace Technology Group actually "licked" his new employer like this?
An advanced engine that has not been successfully developed for a long time is "gifted" like this. Not only is it given away, but it is also checked by oneself before giving it away. I am afraid that the "gift" is not delivered well and the other party will be "unhappy"...
This is really, really comfortable.
Gu Qing saw Li You coming in, and after he finished speaking, he said, "It's all for the advancement of science and technology in Daxia. Whether it's the government or private enterprises, as long as they are willing to work hard, we can help if we can. This is a return favor." .”
