#373 - Giant Rockets

"Status is okay."

Tang Chao circled the closed fairing, then looked at the tablet handed over by Zhang Liyan, where the inspection process was marked with a string of green lights.

Zhang Liyan followed beside him, looked up at the huge fairing and said, "Boss, I have to say, this is definitely the strangest rocket I've ever launched."

"I've launched it many times," Tang Chao said.

Zhang Liyan: "??"

"Of course, in the game," Tang Chao smiled lightly, "The rockets launched in the game are only stranger, not the strangest. Don't tell me you still seriously design when you play the game?"

"Uh…"

Zhang Liyan was speechless for a moment.

Okay, no need to answer, Tang Chao already knew the answer.

The small simulated gravity module was packed very smoothly, and it was perfect when it was transported to Red Potato Island Launch Center. After inspection, it could be installed on the rocket.

After assembly, the rocket will be pushed to the launch pad, then fueled, and launched on time.

It's just that this transfer of venue is destined to be big news.

Who made this rocket so bizarre?

Sure enough, when the doors of the assembly building were opened layer by layer, the people who were paying attention here were directly shocked by the shape of the new rocket!

"!!!∑(Дノ)ノ"

"Damn?! What the hell is this?"

"This is a rocket? What rocket, the Big Head Voyager?"

"I've never seen such a bizarre rocket. Is this head too big?"

"The rockets I've seen before have a 'head' smaller than the body, especially manned rockets. The fairing of cargo rockets is only a circle larger than the core stage. The fairing of this rocket is larger than the core stage diameter… by three times?"

"The core stage diameter of the Voyager rocket is 5 meters. In comparison, the diameter of this fairing is almost 15 meters. Damn! This is outrageous!"

"I've decided, it can definitely be on the ugliest rocket list. I'm going to recommend it!"

"I have to forward the photos quickly. I can't be the only one blind. Everyone, come and see."

"I think it's quite good-looking. Look at its curves, its structure, and the paint job is also good, delete the parentheses, one dollar for this comment."

"Haha, I also think it's not good-looking, but aren't you curious about what's inside? The things that need to be transported with this special shape are definitely not ordinary things."

"I think so too. Whether it looks good or not is another matter. Since this shape can be launched, it must be able to be launched. Such a large fairing, the things inside must be very large. I wonder what it is?"

"This should be the space station upgrade plan that President Tang mentioned. Such a big thing, is it a huge amusement cabin?"

"The Starry Sky Inn is already quite big, especially that 'living room'. Tourists can somersault inside without any obstacles. Do you need an even bigger place?"

"Well, according to the information President Tang said during the live broadcast, it should be the things inside the fairing, but this time there is no publicity. Obviously, President Tang is very confident in this thing and wants to give the world a big surprise. Let's just wait and see."

Outsiders don't know, even the American Aerospace Agency is guessing, but some people from the Tianxia Aerospace Agency already know what it is.

When Tang Chao explained the "Heavenly Court" plan, there were senior officials from the Aerospace Agency present, and this special rocket was among them. Today, it was launched, and of course they recognized it at a glance.

It's just that the things that were planned to be unveiled next year, why did they come out this year?

Knowing that the Pathfinder is all about speed, but this speed is a bit too fast, right?

Fortunately, Tang Chao communicated with them in time and let them know the latest progress of the Pathfinder's plan.

Then they fully understood the Pathfinder's current plan, oh, actually it's Tang Chao's idea.

Tang Chao is the BOSS of Pathfinder, and his idea is naturally the plan of Pathfinder.

The launch of the small rotating simulated gravity module was originally in the plan. Now it's just because the manufacturing speed of the ground manufacturing center has increased, the production of parts has accelerated, but the expansion of the warehouse can't keep up, so it can only be launched into the sky.

The official aerospace agencies of various countries have also encountered similar things. Aerospace equipment is manufactured but cannot be launched, and can only be stored in the warehouse, but they are mostly because the production and service of rockets used for launching cannot keep up with the plan, so the corresponding payloads can only stay in the warehouse.

And they need to launch less aerospace equipment, just a section of space station module or several tons of lunar exploration equipment, etc., which can be put down.

The planned Heavenly Court space station is so large, composed of numerous components, and Pathfinder has obtained most of the production contracts for the components. Now that its production speed has increased, there will naturally be a large number of finished products squeezed in the warehouse.

Originally, it was enough to continue expanding the warehouse, but the area originally designated by Pathfinder was so large, not only the aerospace company had to build, but the group's manufacturing, technology, and entertainment companies also had to expand, all of which needed to occupy land.

Further out, that's the factories of other companies, and they have all been built, and it's impossible to let them expand.

If you want to expand, you have to find a new place.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

However, there are two ideas within the company. One is to directly find a place to expand, and the other is to spread the technology out, so that the technology of other aerospace companies in the aerospace alliance can be upgraded and their participation can be increased.

Most people tend to spread the technology to alliance members. After all, Pathfinder still has the title of "leader", but Pathfinder's development is too fast. Even people inside Pathfinder don't know why they can develop so fast. Anyway, they "took off" under the leadership of the BOSS, so that other allies seem a little bit stretched.

In fact, the domestic allies are basically at the average level of commercial aerospace, which is not slow.

At the beginning, the internal staff of the company felt that the newly upgraded technology was the company's core technology and it was not good to spread it out. Later, Tang Chao let them understand what is the "core technology" of the Pathfinder company, that is… the Pathfinder company has no core technology, he is the biggest core.

The most core thing is always in his head.

Then… the company has no core technology. It is good to spread it to other allies, which can also enhance the company's influence, as long as the newly emerging technology within a month is kept secret.

From the perspective of Pathfinder Company, the technology that has appeared within a month is called "secondary core technology". After a month, it becomes a technology that can be cooperated with partners.

Anyway, today, everyone knows that a strange-looking rocket has been erected on the rocket launch pad of Pathfinder, and people are curious about what is in its fairing.

Immediately, the nickname came out, and people affectionately called it the "Big Head Rocket".

The rocket's fairing has three modes, one is smaller than the core stage diameter, one is the same as the core stage diameter, and the other is that the fairing is a little larger than the rocket's core stage, such as the Long March 3B's core stage diameter is 3.35 meters, and its fairing diameter reaches 4 meters, which is a bit large, but the contrast is not strong.

The American Titan 4 rocket is a standard "big head baby". Its core stage diameter is only 3 meters, but the fairing diameter reaches 5 meters, and the length is about 20 meters, which looks very… "headache", not very coordinated.

But the rocket is like this, the fairing is always adjusted according to the size of the payload.

As long as it can fly.

3.35 to 4 is normal, 3 to 5 is "headache", then 5 to 15 is not "big head"?

It just so happens that Pathfinder's current position in the global aerospace field is comparable to a giant, and it is appropriate to give this special Voyager rocket such a nickname.

Human curiosity is endless, especially for more bizarre things, the greater people's curiosity about it.

Now that rockets of this kind of appearance have appeared, many people are worried about whether it can take off, ascend, and enter orbit normally, so naturally they have to come and see the excitement.

So Pathfinder's live broadcast room was instantly filled with people.
