Chapter 448 Did You Hear It?
What Huaguo can do is to concentrate on development.

How backward it is sprayed every day, how miserable it is to be hacked every day, and the people are so poor that they can't even afford tea eggs...

What else can you do if you don't bury your head in development, waiting to be sprayed to death?

This period of time can be said to be a very active period in the international aerospace field, but the space agency of Huaguo is silent.

If Arclight Aerospace hadn't been beating the whole world in the field of transportation, people in China might have been in a hurry, but even so, some people with crooked mouths began to babble.

However, according to some people's speculation, the reason why Huaguo did this must be to make some big news.

Not to mention, the reason why Huaguo's aerospace agency is silent is indeed holding back a big move.

Huaguo has always been: talk less, do more.

Since the focus of China's aerospace agency is now on the space station and the manned moon landing, the other things are somewhat neglected.

This is also one of the reasons why Huaguo agreed to Arc Light Aerospace to develop aerospace aircraft.

Regardless of whether it is the construction of a space station or a manned moon landing project, all rockets with high thrust and high carrying capacity are needed, so now Huaguo's most important work is this.

As another reason for allowing the Arclight Group to establish the Arclight Aerospace Exploration Company, it is another reason for testing aerospace aircraft and launching satellites.That is, Dong Chen provided Huaguo Aerospace Agency with a piece of information on high-thrust rocket engines, as well as information related to many launch vehicles.

After the research of many aerospace experts, it is determined that this information is very valuable, and it is very helpful for Huaguo's two space goals at this stage, and even has reference value for future Mars landing missions.

Moreover, it can be thoroughly understood and manufactured immediately, and it also has related effects on other rocket engine technologies, which is perfect for Huaguo at this stage.

Some material issues may not exist yet, but they have reached the final stage and will be successful soon.

Aerospace science and technology has been blocked by foreign countries for so many years, and Huaguo has made it to where it is today through its own efforts. Only astronauts like them will know the hardships, so the importance of this pile of information is self-evident.

This is the reason why Dong Chen can surf in space now.

At present, China's space agency is basically developing large-tonnage launch vehicles, while Arclight Aerospace is developing aerospace aircraft. At present, the two sides do not conflict in terms of delivery vehicles.

Sure enough, after Hua Guo was silent for a while, several big news came immediately.

First of all, the Long March [-]B carrier rocket prepared to carry the official space station cabin achieved its first empty flight at the low-latitude Binhai launch base in Huaguo.

And the experiment went well, all the indicators met the requirements of the experiment, and the discarded booster and core rocket obediently landed on the landing platform at sea.

Then in the next half month, Huaguo used these recovered rockets to conduct two, three, four, and five empty launch experiments, and all the experiments were successful.

This phenomenon shows that Huaguo has also mastered the recycling technology of recyclable rockets, and it is more successful and perfect than Musk Aerospace's technology.

Because it is a waste of time to recover the rocket and drop it to the offshore mobile platform, and then drag it back to the Binhai launch base, and then assemble it and refuel.

It was launched five times in half a month, and it was launched once every three days. In addition, the time of the previous set of procedures was very tight. Even if repairs and maintenance were carried out, the time was limited.

Therefore, Huaguo has truly achieved reusability, just like an ordinary plane can fly again after simple maintenance after landing.

Of course, the material loss of the launch vehicle is much greater than that of the aircraft, and it is due to technical limitations. In theory, ten times of reuse is now the limit.

After ten times, it does not mean that it cannot be used, but the number of times of use within ten times, the equipment loss is within the safe value. After ten times, the safety value will drop significantly, so it is not recommended to use it.

However, it can be used ten times with simple maintenance, which is already a great saving of money.

Compared with the experimental model of Musk Aerospace, which takes a long time to repair after being recovered and is not necessarily cheap, the model of Huaguo has undoubtedly come ahead of them and achieved phased success.

Although it is a bit strange to say, the maintenance cost of some things is simply more expensive than rebuilding a new one, and it is also troublesome.

Of course, Dong Chen's contribution is indispensable for bringing Hua Guo to the front.

Cough, it's all caused by the PY transaction.

And from this, we can see how amazing the aerospace plane of Arc Aerospace is. According to the data of Arc Aerospace, as long as the maintenance is better at ordinary times, if the mission is performed once every two days, it will take ten to 12 years. question.

Immediately afterwards, after all the experiments were successful, in May 2019, the Long March 5B carrier rocket carried the core module "Tianhe" of the "Tiangong" space station into the sky.

Of course, this time the rocket is brand new. The previous one was reused only to verify the technology, and this time it is the official start.

And after the core module goes to the sky, it will dock with Tiangong No. [-], which has been officially renamed "Xiangtian", and the renamed Tiangong No. [-] will officially become a part of Huaguo Tiangong Space Station.

Although the design life of Tiangong-[-] is only two years, it is normal for a spacecraft to be out of service. If it is added to a formal space station, it will not be a problem if it is maintained frequently.

And now with such rocket technology, maintenance is much more convenient than before.

Dong Chen, as a representative of private aerospace companies, was also invited, and there were also several technical directors or chairman of the relatively successful private aerospace companies, all of whom were representatives of the civil aerospace industry in China.

Especially when Dong Chen was invited to sit with the bosses, and they could only sit in the area of ​​the corporate delegation.

But they can't help it, who made Dong Chen the big brother in the civil aerospace field now.

What is mentioned here also includes mobile phones abroad and around the world.

In fact, the reason why Dong Chen was invited over was known to both the upper echelons and Dong Chen.

"Little Dong, this is the first time we have met formally," an old man sitting next to Dong Chen said to Dong Chen with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, I used to listen to your guidance on the video. You are still quite young in real life, and you are much more powerful than the video, hehe." Dong Chen said with a smile.

"Hehe, you kid, since when did I guide you, it's almost the same if you guide us." Zhao Gang said with a helpless smile.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Dong Chen, then patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You guys did a good job this time. It is because of your materials that we can see the core module take off early today, otherwise we would have We have to wait another month. And the mature rocket recovery technology also saves a lot of money, so we can do a lot of other things.”

"You don't know how strict foreign countries are on our space technology blockade. For a long time, we were not allowed to join the International Space Station. Not only the United States refused to let us, but also we were fooled by Europe. I don't know how much I suffered. How many faces."

"Today, the core module of our own space station went to the sky, and their International Space Station is about to be decommissioned."

"If those old guys who have already left can see today and the rapid rise of our country, they will definitely eat two more bowls of rice."

He said and squeezed Dong Chen's shoulders, "Work hard, this world will eventually belong to you young people, and our previous wishes will be realized by you."

"Yes," Dong Chen nodded, "Yes, Mr. Zhao."

"But you made a mistake in one sentence."

With such a sudden turning point, Zhao Gang was stunned and asked, "Is there a mistake? Which sentence?"

Dong Chen smiled lightly and said, "We are not rising, we are just coming back."

"...back again?" Zhao Gang muttered in a low voice, and then laughed loudly, "Haha... you boy, okay, I'm optimistic about you."

While they were chatting, the staff of the control center were sitting in front of the computer and were constantly reporting on tasks, and the scene was full of enthusiasm.

"...The orbit is normal and the speed is normal. The core module of "Tianhe" is approaching Tiangong-[-]..."

"... Arrive at the docking position and start the docking procedure..."

"...Three, two, unitary, successful docking!"

"The core module of Tianhe and the experimental module of Xiangtian have successfully docked!"

"Success, we succeeded!"

"Oh, it worked!"

Dong Chen was also very excited in such an atmosphere. When he was excited, he heard Mr. Zhao talking next to him, but because the scene was too lively and noisy, even his super-good hearing could only hear very small sound.

"Did you hear, old fellows, we made it..."
