Chapter 1311 The Imperial Group enters the space age!

1991 3 Month 31 Day.

Sunday.

Today happens to be a holiday.

At this time, many people have learned from newspapers and TV stations that the Imperial Group will officially launch the first artificial satellite tonight, and Hong Kong's Asia Television will broadcast the entire process live. At this time, Hong Kong citizens can watch this at home by watching TV. live broadcast of the satellite launch.

At this time, many people in Xiangjiang are indeed paying attention.

Of course, there are some people who don't know what their mentality is. They hope that the satellite launched by the Imperial Group will eventually fail. This will make the world think it is a joke.

On the other hand, many Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong even specially gave Sir Yang, the Imperial Group, and even this satellite launch a once-over. They felt that tonight was a very good day, and the Imperial Group's artificial satellite launch would definitely be a success. .

However, no matter what, this satellite launch did affect many people.

Because today is Sunday, Yang Ming did not return to the Empire State Building headquarters.

However, now the Empire State Building, including the cabinet, secretariat, and other senior executives, seems to be very nervous, and they are also nervously waiting for the launch of the artificial satellite.

Wait until dinner is over in the evening.

It's getting closer to 20:30 in the evening.

Yang Ming was still in the study, while Yang Jirong, his wife, and others were already in front of Asia Television Station, preparing to watch.

The TV station has now started live broadcast.

Judging from the live broadcast, this is an island located near Xisha. This island is not very big, probably only a few square kilometers in size, and there are already many buildings around it.

Among them, the most conspicuous place is the rocket launch tower built high in the middle, which seems to be nearly a hundred meters high.

Next to the rocket launch tower is a rocket independently designed and manufactured by the Imperial Group, which also looks very big.

From these alone, it is very eye-catching.

Of course, the reporter does not know the specific data, and the Imperial Group has not disclosed it to the outside world. However, according to foreign experts in this field, the Imperial Group rocket launch towers and rockets are somewhat similar to the Soviet launch towers, but they are not the same. Same.

It is obvious that the Imperial Group is further designing different rocket launch towers based on the Sulian launch tower and rocket.

Besides.

Now there are hundreds of people in the launch center on the island and in the launch center in Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park. All of them are engineers, and they are mainly white people. In addition to a large number of computers in front of them, there are also these people. Waiting anxiously.

In fact, things here in Xiangjiang are much more advanced than those in Sulian, including computer advancement and capabilities. When Su Lian was at his peak, he actually couldn't do what he is now.

In other words, from this point of view, the Imperial Group can do this, and many people feel that it has a lot to do with the Imperial Group's reuse of white talents.

"Sir, the satellite will be launched soon. Why don't you go and take a look?" Lan Jieying asked.

"Whether it is successful or not, I will know immediately."

Yang Ming has been waiting for so long, he is really not in a hurry.

When the time came to 20:30 in the evening.

At this time, Chief Engineer Kozlov and others knew that it was about to begin.

Countdown to rocket launch.

"10!"

"9!"

. . .

"1!"

"emission."

Kozlov personally pressed the red launch button, and the rocket spewed out a large amount of hot gas. The two propellants were sprayed into the combustion chamber from different nozzles. After atomization, evaporation, and mixing, they spontaneously underwent violent oxidation and reduction reactions.

Everyone looked over and saw that the rocket had begun to leave the launch tower and began to take off.

Now is the time when everyone is most nervous. Many rockets failed to launch and fell down shortly after taking off.

However, now it looks like the rocket was very successful from launch to takeoff.

After takeoff, the rocket will no longer fly vertically upward, but will turn a corner. This action is called a programmed turn. It mainly flies along the inclination of the earth to save the fuel of the rocket. After this, the rocket will also have Multiple separate movements.

. . .

The rocket seemed to fly faster and faster. After the first and second stages of the rocket separated, the second-stage engine started and continued to accelerate.

The second-stage rocket takes the satellite out of the atmosphere. At this time, the fairing protecting the satellite will also end its mission and separate from the rocket.

The fairing is used to protect satellites and other payloads to prevent satellites from being affected by harmful environments such as aerodynamic forces, aerodynamic heating, and acoustic vibrations. It is an important part of the launch vehicle.

The rocket's second-stage engine stopped working after running out of fuel and separated from the satellite. The second level is divided into the main engine working section and the traveling engine working section. When the main engine works for a certain period of time, the main engine stops working, and then the traveling engine is used to send the artificial satellite into the predetermined orbit with small thrust.

After the artificial satellite reaches the predetermined orbit, it separates from the launch vehicle.

This is a very critical signal.

At this time, the staff of the launch center on the island and the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park Center all cheered and applauded, because this meant that the Imperial Group's first artificial satellite had been successfully launched and sent to the designated orbit. Next, At this moment the weather satellite will also be operating in this designated orbit.

In other words, the first artificial satellite launched by the Imperial Group has been successful.

Not only was the rocket successfully launched, it also successfully brought the artificial satellite to the relevant orbit.

This is the first group in the world to do this.

It is also the first large group to successfully launch with independent capabilities after Soviet Union, M Country, F Country, Toyo, Z Country and other countries.

This undoubtedly represents the Imperial Group's strong strength in this area, and also represents the Imperial Group's official entry into the space age.

Yang Ming already knew the news immediately.

That night, Yang Ming received many congratulatory calls.

Including calls from domestic old gentlemen, Mr. Jiang, and even calls from Mrs. Satchel and others in Country Y.

After all, this does represent the financial and technological strength of the Imperial Group.

That night, many Xiangjiang citizens, even Chinese and overseas Chinese, were proud of the Imperial Group.

Yang Ming was at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.

After meeting Melis, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Huo Jianning and others, we went to the center of Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park with them to celebrate with these staff members by popping champagne.

When Yang Ming returned to the Repulse Bay Villa, it was already late at night.

In fact, Yang Ming was still very excited.

Because he knows that the launch of commercial artificial satellites is of great significance.

Next, not only meteorological satellites, broadcast satellites, and communication satellites will be launched into corresponding orbits in large numbers, further establishing the Imperial Group's status and strength in this regard.
