Chapter 130 Rocket Recovery

"And when all our satellites are launched into the sky, they will form the God's Eye global navigation satellite system, with horizontal and vertical navigation accuracy reaching 10 centimeters and 20 centimeters respectively.

"..."

"It also has short message communication services, which can enable rescue and help when there is no mobile phone signal."

"According to this, both the satellite and the launch vehicle we launched this time have revolutionary and commemorative significance."

After half an hour of explanation, Nicholas concluded with passion.

For him, he has been working hard for today for a long time, and now he is finally seeing success. At this moment, he is more excited than anyone else.

"Very good! From your vivid description, I can see your sweat and hard work."

"In this regard, I just want to say one thing here, that is, everyone here is good and worthy of the title of 'pioneer' elite."

"But believe me, your efforts today are worth it. Whether it is future honors, newspapers from the world media or the company's project medals, the names of each of you here will be on them."

"Of course!! You won't miss a single point in the bonus!"

“Now I announce that this ‘God’s Eye Launch Plan’ has officially begun!!”

After standing up, Killian first affirmed Nicholas's efforts, then looked at every researcher present with his deep but firm eyes, and then spoke decisively word by word.

Then, as Killian finished speaking, a burst of applause suddenly began on the scene.

Then, under the leadership of Nicholas, everyone began to conduct the final pre-launch debugging of the rocket.

"Boss, the satellite launch vehicle has been fully prepared. All parameters are now normal and can be ignited and launched at any time!"

At this time, Nicholas, who was fully prepared, spoke directly to Killian beside him.

"start!"

After the beginning of Killian's sentence, the final ending came immediately.

"With three minutes left to countdown to the launch of the rocket, each department will begin its final self-inspection and report on the situation on site."

"Security is in place!"

"The fire department is in position!"

…

"The medical department is in place!"

With the completion of self-checks from various departments in the launch control room, the countdown has come to an end.

"One minute countdown"

"Ten seconds countdown."

"Nine."

"eight."

"seven."

…

"One, light the fire."

As the countdown ended, a dazzling fire erupted from the bottom of the rocket. At this time, Yang slowly lifted off the ground and accelerated slowly. As the rocket took off, white smoke continued to spurt out, and the ground seemed to be filled with thick smoke as if bombs were continuously detonated over a large area.

Then, even in this bright day, the rocket shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow and flew towards the sky until it gradually disappeared from people's sight.

At this time, with the rocket out of sight, warm cheers could not help but burst out in the command center, and people present hugged each other excitedly.

Even little Skye, who was leaning next to Killian, couldn't help but grab the hem of Killian's clothes, and his fair little face also showed an excited look.

But at this moment, Nicholas, who was standing next to Killian gritting his teeth, was not relaxed at all, because now it only means that the launch is successful, and whether it can enter low-Earth orbit and whether it can be safe. Breaking away is the key.

At this moment, with the passage of time, I saw that at the front of the hall, a display screen composed of several large display screens had begun to receive pictures captured by the rocket's own camera.

In the picture, the current rocket has begun to enter the first-stage separation state, and the second-stage engine is working, but the camera behind the rocket is completely dark.

After seeing this, Nicholas also clearly knew that the rocket was almost horizontal at this time, with only a small tilt angle.

However, this also proves that the rocket is about to reach the predetermined orbit, and it also means that the second-stage rocket engine is about to separate. After the second-stage rocket engine separates, it will not take long for the third-stage rocket engine to start igniting.

At this moment, after a brief cheer, everyone present was staring at the display screen. In a short period of time, everyone felt that their palms were full of sweat.

But if we follow the passage of time, only more than two minutes have passed since the launch of the rocket.

However, the acceleration of the rocket did not give them any time to adjust their psychological pressure. As the speed accelerated again, before Nicholas could relax, he had already reached his most nervous moment.

"Come on! We must do it!"

At this moment, everyone watching this last scene could not help but cheer in a low voice.

At this time, the staff in charge of data did not have time to worry about these anymore. Instead, they operated the computer to carefully record various data fed back from the rocket in real time.

"Cowl separation."

Immediately, after the last electronic sound was heard, it could be seen on the display that the rocket head shell split into two halves from the middle and fell to both sides, revealing the artificial satellite wrapped inside.

"The radar data appears normal and the telemetry signal is normal."

"The light radar display is normal and the signal reception is normal."

…

"The USB display is normal and the signal reception is normal."

At this moment, with the separation of the fairing, the staff began to quickly report the status of the rocket's operation.

Immediately, the rocket continued flying...

At this time, after the fairing separated, the second-stage rocket engine soon came to shut down and separate.

After flying for another period of time, the rocket entered the predetermined speed and altitude.

"The second-stage rocket engine shut down and separated."

As the electronic sound sounded again, the second-stage rocket engine stalled and fell off. At this time, the acceleration of the rocket had already reached zero, and was even almost horizontal to the earth.

Under the influence of gravity, the rocket is pulled by inertia and continues to fly until it is tangent to the orbit, and the three-stage rocket engine ignites for the final acceleration.

At this time, even the little Skye on the side was breathing rapidly. She had understood the process of rocket launch before. Although it was not very profound, she also understood that there would be another threshold here.

There are even satellite launches from other countries that failed here.

At the same time and in the same place, it depends on whether Pioneer Technology can have different results.

At this time, all the researchers in the ground rocket launch center began to stare at the display screen, with their fists clenched, all showing the extremely nervous emotions in their hearts.

"The third-stage rocket engine shuts down and the star rocket separates."

The command was given again along with the electronic sound.

In space, as the command was given, the engine on the rocket was immediately shut down, and the blazing flames belonging to the engine were immediately extinguished. Immediately afterwards, the satellite was ejected from the rocket carrier, and then entered the predetermined orbit of the satellite. .

Then as satellites popped up one after another, within the next hour, the satellites were all scattered in the predetermined orbit.

At this point, the launch mission of this nuclear-powered launch vehicle is completed.

But there is still one last step, which is the rocket recovery mission.

But at this moment, it is no longer something that researchers can intervene in.

After the mission was completed, the nuclear-powered launch vehicle, which had stopped its engine and began to float in a static state, began to operate again under the remote control of artificial intelligence.

As the engine of the nuclear-powered launch vehicle began to burn again, it began to use the four grid rudders to adjust its attitude and speed under the control of Dabai, and then began to follow a suitable trajectory little by little. Start preparing to return to the ground.

Then, the nuclear-powered launch vehicle began to ignite formally. After the jet accelerated, the entire rocket began to fly towards the earth at an extremely fast speed.

Then, just after entering the outer atmosphere, the first brake ignition was started, reducing the speed of the first stage relative to the earth, changing its descent direction, and began to move towards the location of their rocket launch base.

After that, as the flight altitude dropped to the critical point and broke into the Karman line, under Dabai's control, the nuclear-powered launch vehicle briefly ignited three times in a row, using the auxiliary engine to decelerate and brake.

In this way, until it was close to an altitude of 30,000 meters, the hollow wings unfolded, the auxiliary engine started, and under remote control from the ground, the nuclear-powered launch vehicle began to glide towards their rocket launch base.

As the rocket body rapidly approached the ground, Dabai in the command center was constantly fine-tuning the rocket's power parameters to adjust the rocket's orientation so that it could land at the predetermined location according to its positioning.

After that, seeing the rocket getting closer and closer to the base, when it reached the set height, the automatic ignition system was turned on again.

The extinguished rocket engine was restarted, and the jet flames, accompanied by a reverse updraft, stopped the rocket from falling!

The rocket body began to slowly descend in the air, and after seeing this, everyone present could not help but tense up, because this was really the last and most critical moment!

Then the computer displayed the data of the rocket's distance from the ground.

Five hundred meters...

Three hundred meters...

One hundred meters!

Seeing that the rocket body was already in front of him, Dabai was still making fine adjustments to his position!

"The recycling rack is open!"

“There is no error in positioning!”

"Start getting into position!"

As the electronic sound of Dabai Machinery sounded in the launch center, the first stage of the rocket landed in an extremely slow motion.

'boom! ! ! ’

With the last brake ignition spurting out powerful flames, the nuclear-powered launch vehicle successfully landed on the runway of the rocket launch base in a vertical landing.

After everything had stabilized and ensured that there were no deviations or abnormalities in the rocket itself, the rocket engine began to actually stall under Dabai's control.

At this point, the first stage of the rocket itself has completely returned to the planned landing position at the launch base!

At this time, the on-site mobile department, which had already been prepared, also began to drive closer at a very fast speed, followed by a comprehensive inspection and data collection.

"Yeah!"

After seeing this scene, the hall suddenly cheered loudly, and the faces of the researchers were full of joy. Soon, a wave of applause rang out.

"Pa pa pa"

The sound of everyone's enthusiastic applause continued at this moment.

"Success! We succeeded! We finally succeeded!"

At this moment, even Nicholas' eyes couldn't help but turn red. He casually hugged a researcher beside him and excitedly hugged him, expressing his excitement.

After seeing this scene, although Killian didn't have so many complicated feelings as them, he was also sincerely happy for them.

After all, this is also the hard work of others who have been working day and night.

At this time, the hall of the rocket launch center was a sea of ​​joy. All the researchers present jumped and jumped for joy, and even hugged strangers around them.

…

At this moment, under the satellites of other countries.

Every country and force clearly saw the pioneering technology rocket that successfully launched the satellite and successfully returned to the ground.

"What an amazing company."

"These technologies are really terrifying."

At this moment, the head of a certain country, after seeing this scene through the satellite, could not help but admire it sincerely.

After all, as the head of a country, he is very clear about the country's investment in rocket launches. It can be said that so far, their rocket launches are one-time, and one-time means that every time a satellite is launched, there is a huge loss of investment.

And you have to know that the cost of a rocket is as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and among them, most of the rocket's structures and equipment have only been used once and have to be discarded for this reason.

These abandoned rocket debris may not only cause garbage problems on the earth and space, but also seriously limit the frequency and flexibility of rocket launches.

Because each launch requires the manufacture and assembly of a new rocket, which requires a lot of time and manpower.

Moreover, if there is a malfunction or accident during the launch, it is difficult to repair or adjust it, and a second rocket needs to be manufactured.

It can be said that this recyclable rocket of Pioneer Technology is enough to impress every country and even company.

This is also his sigh as a leader of a major country.

However, he regrets that such a cutting-edge technology company was not born in their country. It has to be said that this is their biggest regret.

However, the head of the national aerospace consultant on the other side, who is more concerned about the interests after seeing this scene, can't help but frown. After all, the successful recovery of Pioneer Technology's recyclable rocket is not a good thing for a rocket launch company like them.

And this is the essential difference between a country's leader and a businessman.

Similar things are constantly happening in various countries. After all, Pioneer Technology's launch did not hide any news. Although there was no special press conference, the live broadcast of the media cameras outside the launch base and the live broadcast of the official website inside the base were not closed.

That is to say, netizens from all over the world can watch the launch process on site through Pioneer Technology's official website.

The only difference is that you can't see the video of the staff in the launch center.

However, for most netizens, these are trivial matters.

At the same time, accompanied by the live broadcast room on the other side.

After seeing the video of the launch and successful recovery on site, the audience in the Pioneer Technology official website live broadcast room immediately sent congratulations.

"Australia, sent a congratulatory message!"

"Awesome! I didn't expect that the rocket recovery technology that was still in the theoretical stage was actually developed by Pioneer Technology. It's simply amazing, 6666!"

"Success!! So awesome, I declare... From now on, joining Pioneer Technology is my life goal!"

"Congratulations!"

"It's so awesome, it feels like the beginning of StarCraft in Star Wars, it has that flavor."

"You are worthy of being the light of human technology! Come on! Pioneer Technology, I hope you can make more contributions to the exploration of the earth and the universe in the future!"

"It's awesome. In just one year, from medical robots to controlled nuclear fusion, cancer drugs, and now the recyclable rocket technology, I seriously suspect that Pioneer Technology will prepare to explore alien planets next."

...

Along with the heated discussions of netizens, there were even fans who spontaneously sent various gifts. In just a few minutes, Pioneer Technology received a cumulative reward of up to one million US dollars just for gift rewards.

If it continues, it is estimated that the cost of a carrier rocket will be earned back in half a day.

"Thank you for your support. On behalf of Pioneer Technology, I would like to thank all of you for your continued companionship."

"But you don't need to keep giving gifts. After all, it's not easy for everyone. But here, according to the requirements of our chairman, for the gifts you gave, this time, our group will donate double the amount to the welfare home to contribute to society. Thank you."

On the other hand, Lisa, who was watching in the live broadcast room at this moment, couldn't help but stand up and thank the netizens after seeing such crazy rewards.

...

Along with the craziness of the Pioneer Technology live broadcast room, the media was not left behind at all, and news about the launch of the Pioneer Technology rocket was continuously released.

Thanks to Brother Yun for the 100-point reward, thank you!
