Chapter 425 "Blue Dragon" Rocket Launch

The three kilometers around the launch center have been under martial law, and a large number of mechanical guards are constantly patrolling the surrounding area. If anyone is found approaching, they will be expelled.

After all, this is the first rocket launch, so Ye Fan invited many highly respected experts in the industry to be on site and give guidance to ensure nothing goes wrong.

On the far side of the launch center, a "steel giant" with a height of 150 meters and a weight of 2,500 tons has been built.

This is a large rocket launch tower, shining dots of light in the dark night.

The largest cantilever of the launch tower, that is, the structure that covers both sides of the rocket before launch, is 28 meters long, which can be described as "strong and strong".

If you look down from the top of the launch tower, you will find that the launch tower, the tower body and the cantilever present a "K" shape, and many facilities on the launch tower can be rotated.

This is the design of Su Ying's team after careful consideration. It is not designed casually, and it is closely related to the launch of the rocket.

After the rocket takes off, there may be horizontal drift. In the professional field, this possible drift is called the safe drift of the rocket.

In order to ensure the safe launch of the rocket, it is necessary to have a certain distance between the launch tower and the rocket, so as to allow the rocket to fly safely.

Since the rocket needs a series of preparations and operations on the launch tower before launch, and the launch tower is not close to the rocket.

Therefore, the working platform and service arm on the launch tower are designed to be rotating, while the crane is designed to be jib.

In this way, the cantilever of the working platform and the crane can be rotated greatly before launch, so that various facilities can ensure that they can approach the rocket while leaving a part of the distance.

Therefore, when launching, leave enough space to ensure the safe launch of the rocket. Before launching, the working platform is closed to enclose the rocket.

At this time, Datang Science and Technology's rocket launch tower is closed, because the rocket's final launch preparations are being carried out at this time.

However, 90% of such a large project is constructed and inspected by intelligent robots, and the ratio of human resources is already very small.

Otherwise, the launch center would not have been established in such a short period of time.

And it can be put into rocket launch quickly.

At this time, the cantilever of the launch tower, that is, when the four-section revolving platform of the launch tower surrounds the rocket, can form a closed space that shelters from wind and rain and protects the rocket.

There is also a lifting platform in the revolving platform, which is used by testers to open and close the hatch, unload instruments, connect the plugs of various equipment, test and astronauts enter the cabin.

The upper slewing platform has an aiming window to ensure the aiming of the rocket.

On the hundreds of meters high launch tower, there is also this large pendant tower. At this time, the pendant tower has been connected to the network, and the artificial intelligence is controlling the pendant tower to prepare for the final launch procedure.

In addition to the normal transportation function of the pendant, when the spacecraft malfunctions, it can also complete the unloading of the escape tower and the carrier cabin. After the spacecraft has eliminated the malfunction, the escape tower and the carrier module can be lifted and reassembled with the rocket.

Inside the launch tower, various indicator lights were blinking like stars. Through the live broadcast of the live broadcast robot authorized by Datang Technology, everyone saw the large rocket inside the launch tower and the spacious interior of the launch tower.

On the eve of the rocket launch, the live broadcast robot showed various power cables, air pipes, propellant filling pipes, water pipes, ladders and other equipment to audiences across the country.

Thirty minutes later, the preparations for the launch were completed, and all intelligent robots, as well as the inspecting staff, were evacuated.

The audience watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast room became more and more nervous.

You must know that this time the rocket launch did not choose the usual Jiuquan satellite launch base, but chose the target location in Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is different from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Base, and does not have an advantage in terms of dimensions or other aspects.

Although it was launched in the suburbs, it is only 50 kilometers away from the city. For a rocket that flies into the sky, 50 kilometers is just a short distance to fly.

Therefore, the high-level officials were not allowed to launch rockets in such a place. After all, if something goes wrong, it is likely to have a serious impact.

However, when Ye Fan took out the electromagnetic defense array, everyone was silent.

After all, this thing is a powerful defensive shield that can block the impact of meteorites. On the day of the natural disaster, everyone can see it. If it is not because of the electromagnetic defense array, the big cities along the coast of China are probably finished.

Therefore, under such guarantees, the high-level officials reluctantly agreed to the rocket launch.

In the eyes of the outside world, Datang Technology is making a brave attempt. After all, it is the first company in the world that dares to launch rockets in urban areas.

And let's say it is a state-owned enterprise, but Datang Technology is still a private enterprise. If it succeeds, it's okay, but if it fails, then Datang Technology will be in big trouble.

Twenty minutes before launch.

"Drip...drip...drip..."

The rocket launch tower opened slowly. The opening process was very slow, and it took nearly ten minutes to open.

It wasn't until the launch tower was opened that all the audience saw the true face of the rocket.

The name of the rocket is "Qinglong". On the body of the rocket, there are four big characters written in bold red fonts: "Datang Aerospace".

At the same time, the shape of this rocket is larger than other rockets. Judging from the paper data, it is normal for Qinglong to be so big.

Judging from the paper data, this is simply the largest launch vehicle in human history, with a height of 130 meters, a take-off weight of 4,200 tons, and a total thrust of 3,940 tons.

The lunar orbit carrying capacity is 60 tons, and the low-earth orbit carrying capacity is 150 tons.

This is a three-stage rocket consisting of the first stage, second stage, third stage, instrument bay and payload.

The first stage is 50 meters long and 15 meters in diameter, and the diameter increases to 18 meters at the tail end. Four stabilizers are installed on the tail section, with a wingspan of about 25 meters.

The first stage uses five engines, the propellants are liquid oxygen and kerosene, and are stored in two ten-meter-diameter aluminum propellant storage tanks.

The second stage is 25 meters long and 10 meters in diameter. It uses liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants and shares five secondary engines.

The third stage is 18 meters long and 6.6 meters in diameter. It uses a three-stage engine and the propellant is liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

This is like a giant.

It is like a guard, standing quietly in the dark night.
