#86 - Unprecedented treatment

The transportation from Zibei City's port to the Binhai Launch Center is very convenient. Tang Chao essentially used the complete official rocket transfer process this time.

First, there was a dedicated rocket transport ship, then a specialized rocket transfer vehicle for ground transportation, with police escorting in front and temporary road closures at various intersections.

This competition is said to be for private companies, and cooperation with official entities is not allowed. However, apart from small rockets that can be launched privately, larger rockets need to rent official launch pads.

Firstly, building one's own is too time-consuming and expensive. Secondly, the utilization rate of official launch pads is far below the design requirements, with excessive idle time.

For example, in the United States, which has the most developed private space industry, Space X, which has launched numerous payload missions into space, uses launch pads from the American Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Not to mention the launch pad, every launch mission relies on the national observation network. Without the observation and tracking of various observatories and ocean-going tracking ships, you wouldn't know where your rocket is flying.

Private companies simply don't need to re-establish their own observation networks.

Unless it's on a desolate alien planet with no existing observation network, you have to build everything from scratch.

After the rocket body was transported to the assembly building, he took a lot of photos again.

The things he photographs are his own hard work, and the composition is quite exquisite, unlike the 'death composition' of Tianxia's official propaganda.

Back then, the new generation of manned spacecraft, weighing over 20 tons, was photographed like a yogurt bottle on a gas stove, which made netizens laugh.

After taking pictures of the rocket body, he went to photograph the payload, which is a lunar probe.

Zhang Liyan's concerns were not without reason. Their rocket's goal is to launch a lunar probe, but throughout the history of space development on Earth, no new rocket model has ever directly launched its final mission on its first test flight.

But Tang Chao dared to do it.

Although his lunar probe is also positioned as an experimental product, it is actually designed and manufactured according to competition standards.

It can land, sample, and return.

What is said to be a test flight is actually an exam, going straight to the finish line.

After the exam, a grade is given.

Either a perfect score, directly completing the competition and taking first place.

Or a zero score, summarizing the experience and manufacturing the next one.

In fact, this thing has only been launched for the first time on Earth, and it has been launched more than a dozen times on Kan Planet.

Except for the second and fifth launch failures, the remaining times were successful, especially later on, with no problems at all, very stable.

After this rocket matured, he formulated a standard inspection process for this rocket for the Little Greens, and each time he would have different batches of Little Greens take turns inspecting it, and would only launch it after confirming that there were no problems.

Because it was very troublesome, it was only launched more than a dozen times.

If it weren't for the fact that this rocket was to be used on Earth, he wouldn't bother to care. For the others, as long as the Little Greens thought there were no problems, they could launch it. Anyway, these Little Greens wouldn't die.

Even if they were blown up, fell, or drowned half to death, the Green Protection Association wouldn't find him.

The Little Greens were willing to do it themselves.

According to the similarity between New Kan Planet and Earth, as long as the rockets verified on Kan Planet are similar on Earth.

Anyway, rockets have considerable commonality. As long as they are well designed, they can be used on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and other planets.

It is not as limited as those winged aircraft that fly with the help of lift.

So this "test launch" is actually similar to a normal launch. After all, how should we say about space launches? Before the launch, there are tests and more tests, and they are launched only after repeatedly confirming that there are no problems.

After ignition, all that's left is to pray.

No one dares to say that a space launch will definitely succeed. One can only ensure that every item before the launch has passed the inspection.

Even Tang Chao is the same.

Although he has done various violent experiments on Kan Planet, and various tests on Earth, and all the tests have passed, he cannot guarantee success.

Perhaps he will be very calm in the future, but this is the first time on Earth. After all, Earth is different from Kan Planet.

This is his hometown.

But he should launch it when he needs to launch it. He is now a tycoon, not a start-up company that pulls investment everywhere, and goes bankrupt after a few failed launches.

Fuxing Investment sends him 1 billion, 1 billion every month, and he has nowhere to spend it.

Even if it fails, he can just rebuild it.

In fact, he had wanted to launch this rocket a long time ago, but Chang'e 5, which had a similar mission, was at this time node. Whether his test launch was successful or not, he didn't want to steal the limelight from Tianxia.

And now that the Chang'e 5 mission has been a complete success, his test launch has naturally been put on the agenda.

It doesn't matter if it fails, it's just a test launch anyway.

If it succeeds, hey, scare you to death.

[Has it started?]

[No, it's already over.]

Cough, this dialogue doesn't seem appropriate here. It should be during the exam, when the poor students are still struggling with the previous multiple-choice questions, while the top student Tang Chao has already finished and handed in the paper.

The teacher even gave him a perfect score of 100 on the spot.

The launch center is very cautious about every launch mission. From the moment the rocket body enters the assembly building to the final press of the launch button, it actually takes a long time.

He plans to follow the whole process this time, which means he will stay at the Binhai Launch Center for a long time.

But he won't be bored, because he has many things to photograph. He didn't have the opportunity or the qualifications to enter the Binhai Launch Center before.

He also needs to receive some training, because he needs to press the launch button this time.

Thanks to Fuxing Investment, Tang Chao is willing to call it the strongest for its ability to connect the dots!

And across the strait, there is an air show, the Tianxia International Aviation and Aerospace Expo, referred to as the Baidao Air Show, because it is held in Baidao City.

This air show has international and aerospace aspects. Their company, now the most well-known private aerospace company in China, is holding the National Amateur Rocket Competition and participating in the Lunar Grand Prix, so it has naturally received an invitation.

There is also a sizable exhibition area.

Chen Jing has been following this event for a long time.

Naturally, he has to go and see it.

Rumor has it that there will be a H-20 at this air show. Although it's just a rumor, what if?

He didn't ask Zhao Li about this.

One reason is that this matter is indeed confidential. If he asked, it wouldn't be appropriate whether the other party said it or not.

The second reason is that if the other party really said it, there would be no sense of anticipation, which would be boring.

Sometimes, hey, that hazy feeling is the most exciting.

In fact, the biggest highlight of this air show is in the aerospace exhibition hall. Not only are there 1:1 models of the space station and the Chang'e 5 mission, but most importantly, there is also a physical lunar soil return capsule, and even a physical lunar soil exhibition.

It is lunar soil collected from the moon by Tianxia people using their own equipment, not that one gram of lunar soil that was given to them.

And based on the principle of reciprocity, Tianxia returned ten grams of lunar soil to the other party.

Although he has seen lunar soil many times on Kan Planet, and even his company's lunar sampling mission is about to begin, it doesn't prevent him from seeing the lunar soil retrieved by Tianxia.

When he felt that he had taken enough photos, he left Zhang Liyan's team here to be responsible, and he left the launch center and went to the hotel.

He went to process the photos and then post the video.

As the launch time approached, his six million plus fans were howling every day.

Yes, after a few months, his fans have also grown to over six million.

The growth rate of fans is not too fast, but it's okay.

This is still because he often pigeons videos, and most of the videos are too hardcore.

Thanks to dsbghost for the reward, thanks~~
