Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

In the picture, the staff in the command center were staring at the instruments nervously, waiting for the countdown to come.

Everyone fell silent, and Du Xingyu also remained silent.

There were only ten seconds left. This time, He Jingcheng did not announce the countdown, but asked Du Xingyu, the chief designer of the Xingkong 2 nuclear-powered rocket, to announce it.

"Ten!" Du Xingyu was also a little nervous. He looked at the clock and read, "Nine, eight, seven, six..."

"Three, two, one! Start!" Du Xingyu said "start", not ignition.

With the final countdown, the electronic instruments in the nuclear-powered thrusters started, slowly pulling out the isolation rods from the nuclear reactor, and the nuclear reaction began to resume.

This time, there is no flame jet that viewers are familiar with. Different from previous chemical energy rockets and hydrogen-oxygen engines, this time the nuclear thermal rocket thruster uses nuclear energy to heat gas, and a large amount of exhaust gas is used to obtain the kinetic energy for liftoff.

Everyone could only see white gas rushing out from the tail of the rocket like a long dragon, while the nuclear-powered rocket carried Chang'e 5 straight into the sky!

"It's airborne!"

"66666!"

"There was no explosion..."

"Is this considered a success?"

"Why doesn't it breathe fire?" In Du Xingyu's live broadcast room, the audience sent numerous comments.

The staff at the command center did not relax and pushed forward steadily. Only after the rocket was recovered, the mission was successfully completed! If an accident occurs in any link, a serious accident such as nuclear leakage may occur!

The speed of nuclear-powered rockets is much higher than that of chemical-powered rockets. The audience did not wait long. The rocket had already begun to separate from the main rocket body. At this time, the rocket was already in space.

If it is a chemical energy rocket, the first-stage rocket body will separate at an altitude of 70 kilometers, but here the main rocket body of the nuclear thermal rocket only took ten minutes to complete the lift-off height that the original third-stage rocket body took half an hour. Next, orbital propulsion without its involvement.

"Reducing the reaction efficiency, the main rocket body is separated and ready for recovery."

"azimuth adjustment completed!"

"The recovery platform is ready!"

The main rocket body fell with the nuclear-powered rocket thruster, while the small-power thruster at the head of the rocket body continued to send Chang'e-5 into the TLI (Terrestrial Transfer Orbit).

The team has already had one experience in recovering the rocket, but this time, everyone's hands were sweaty. Think about it, a small nuclear reactor dropped from an altitude of dozens of kilometers, it feels like they are being asked to catch a nuclear bomb!

"Start the thrusters a second time and start slowing down!" The commander's voice was also a little nervous.

"Deceleration completed, docking in progress!"

On the surveillance screen, the main rocket body of Starry Sky 2 stood steadily in the air and began to fall towards the recovery platform.

A short minute felt like an hour. Sweat soaked the clothes of He Jingcheng and others until the prompt sounded: "The recovery of the main rocket body is completed! The nuclear-powered rocket thruster is intact! The nuclear radiation shield is intact!"

"It's done!" He Jingcheng wiped his sweat. The recovery of the main arrow body was the most critical. At this point, it can be said that it has been 70% successful!

"Good job!" Cao Liang had been paying attention to the launch and recovery process. Hearing these words, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"We will conduct a comprehensive test on the nuclear-powered rocket thruster later!" Tang Junwen said, this matter cannot be taken lightly.

"Xingkong-2 has entered the TLI orbit and is about to separate from Chang'e-5."

"Chang'e-5's wingspan is open and it is flying stably along the orbit."

In space, the 8.2-ton Chang'e-5 lunar probe bid farewell to Starry Sky-2 and headed for the moon. It will go to the moon to collect samples and wait for the right time to return to Earth!

In the command center, He Jingcheng shouted into the microphone: "I announce that the Xingkong-2 nuclear-powered rocket and Chang'e-5 lunar probe have been successfully launched! Successfully recovered! This mission is completed!"

"Oh! That's great!" Everyone cheered together, with smiles on everyone's faces!

The TV station's photographer turned the picture over in time, allowing the audience to feel everyone's joy at this moment. They were making history!

"Congratulations to our lunar exploration engineering team and our rocket development team. Their success also represents the development of our country's aerospace science to a new level. We will arrange for reporters to interview the main person in charge of this mission later..." TV station The host celebrated.

In Du Xingyu's live broadcast room, it's not that there are too many barrages to see clearly, but the special effects of gifts have blocked the entire live broadcast room.

System prompt: The fish who loves flying has sent a rocket, come and watch!

System prompt: Xiaoyuan QAQ has sent 999 flowers, wishing you prosperity and prosperity!

System prompt: Ten space shuttles will be sent out in the spring ten years later!

…

"Anchor Niubi!"

"Nuclear-powered rockets are now the best in the world!"

"When will you send someone to heaven?"

"You are the strongest anchor I have ever seen!"

Du Xingyu quickly thanked: "Thank you for your support. Everyone saw today that the nuclear-powered rocket was successfully launched. Its carrying capacity and service life are much stronger than that of chemical energy rockets. I can say this, now we have the ability to A manned spacecraft has been sent into space!”

"As I said in the video before, ordinary people will be able to enter space within ten years. This is definitely not a gimmick!"

The audience was very excited and started talking about it.

Fang Jiayou was also very excited when he saw it. He sent out a rocket and asked: "Anchor, when will we have a spacecraft that goes into space?"

Du Xingyu saw this question and replied: "I think the research and development of rockets has become mature, and the next focus of research and development should be spacecraft. Please wait patiently, I will make another video when there is news in the future."

"Looking forward to it!"

"+1!"

"+2!"

"+10086!"

In the aerospace hobby group that Fang Jiayou joined, he immediately spoke: " @BYT, did you see that the nuclear-powered rocket was successfully launched! And it will soon start developing spacecraft! This is the first in the world, what else do you have? What are you talking about?"

Group friend BYT was unconvinced and said: "There are many people in the United States who are ahead of us!"

When Fang Jiayou saw what he said, he knew that the opponent had no confidence. He said proudly: "Just watch, we will take the lead before long!"

"I'm happy today, send a red envelope!" He sent several big red envelopes in the group and wrote the red envelope password "Congratulations on the successful launch of Starry Sky 2!"

For a moment, the group that usually only had a few people speaking became active, with many IDs popping up who had been diving for half a year and a year, frantically posting messages, "Congratulations on the successful launch of Starry Sky 2!"

…

"Okay! Great!" Dong Jiangbo of Xingyao Space Technology Company in Beijing was also watching the live TV broadcast. Along with him, there were some senior executives of the company.

When hearing the news of "successful launch", Dong Jiangbo and other senior officials stood up and applauded in celebration.

"The launch of Starry Sky 2 was successful, our opportunity has come!" Dong Jiangbo laughed. He knew that the outside world's doubts about the prospects of space will be broken by the successful launch of this rocket!

"I want to send a congratulatory message to my junior brother immediately. It's amazing!" Dong Jiangbo immediately edited the message.

Thanks to Ant Worker Ant, Leedl, and Mutton Chopped Buckwheat Noodles for the reward.
