Chapter 542 (1/2)
Star ring one, these four big red letters are engraved on the side wall of the rocket.
The declared launch project is meteorological satellite. Using meteorological satellite as the first launch target is undoubtedly less difficult than other launch projects. But even so, for a small country with no space technology foundation, it is difficult to install a satellite for the first time.
Not only the UN special observers, but about 30 local or foreign journalists were invited to the launch site by Jiang Chen. This exciting moment should be shared by people all over the world. They were specifically allowed to enter the barracks and stand on the sentry tower to photograph the rocket launch.
This is destined to be a historic moment for the new nation.
Aerospace Power?
These uncivilized islanders never thought about it, but when they saw the newly moved foreign neighbors talking about this issue in disbelief, the aborigines of Panu islands could not help but feel a strong sense of pride in their hearts.
How do people's self-confidence and national cohesion come from? It is to see your own country, do what others think you can't do, and accomplish the great cause that others think you can't accomplish.
Who would have thought that this small island country, which has just completed the regime change and has a total population of only tens of thousands, can become a country with independent satellite launching capability? It's impossible!
However, this Arabian scene is destined to be recorded in history.
”30 meters of launch pad height? Are you kidding? Mr. Kelvin. ” Henry glanced nervously at the rocket outside the window and turned to Kerwin, who was doing the final inspection with the staff.
A 30 meter high launch pad. Henry visually measured the height of the rocket, which was about 32 to 34 meters. The specific design drawings of the rocket will not be given to them in terms of star ring trade, but based on his working experience in the aerospace field. The rocket's shell parameters can still be measured visually.
There were not no pocket rockets, but Henry could not believe that this small country could do the same. Considering the thrust ratio of rocket fuel and nozzle size of rocket engine, it is unscientific to estimate the thrust of rocket.
Whether such a rocket can accelerate to the first cosmic acceleration and get rid of the gravity of the earth. Henry was very suspicious. Whether such a rocket can fly out of the atmosphere.
And for the UN special observer's suspicions
”Do you think I'm joking?” Kerwin raised his eyebrows and looked at the observer.
”If I look at the structure of the rocket, I know it won't work.” Henry scoffed.
”That only shows that you are ignorant. You will never know about our rocket engine - ”
” cough. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's slight cough, Kelvin immediately stopped talking. Star ring trade's confidentiality agreement is no joke, he has just realized that he almost leaked the secret.
Jiang Chen then looked at Henry.
”Mr. Henry, I remember your status as special observer of the United Nations. It's not a technical consultant from star ring trade. If you're worried that the firearm won't fly out of the window, you can go back to the boat first. I promise that when you go back, no soldiers will stop you. ”
Henry changed his face a few times.
Of course, he can't run back to the boat at this time, otherwise the media will give him a close-up of his face and put it on tomorrow's headlines with the name of a coward. It's OK to say that he has foresight about the outcome of the rocket. But if the launch is successful. That's a naked slap in the face.
Since Jiang Chen dares to stand here, it shows that even if the launch fails, the safety here is still guaranteed. So Henry was just a little more calm and silent.
If Jiang Chen knows what this guy is thinking, I don't know if he will laugh.
Where are the safety measures? He's standing here because he's not worried about a launch failure.
But others clearly don't think so.
Henry was silent, but the other observers were whispering.
”I bet it won't get to the escape layer. The first stage rocket is too short. Even if it's impossible for NASA to do so. I suspect that they miscalculated a decimal point in the design, and no one found out until the finished product came out. ” A chubby white man tilted his head and whispered to a colleague who was also an observer.
”Aha, except for the first half, our views are basically the same.” Said the white woman with Bob's hair in a serious tone.
”The first half? Do you think they can fly out? ”The man turned up the volume a little in disbelief.
”At most through the middle layer, if there is no launch failure.” The woman teased.
”Pooh Hoo --”
glancing at the UN observer, Kerwin's eyes flashed a sullen look. Although the rocket was not designed by him, he also devoted a lot of hard work to understand the technology. As a researcher in pursuit of truth, he does not allow anyone to insult this landmark rocket launching technology!Kerwin squeezed his fists and was about to attack.
Just then, Jiang Chen reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
”Prove it to them. Remember you're a technician, not a boxer. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Kelvin realized that he was almost impulsive. Seeing Jiang Chen nodding to himself, he took a deep breath and forced his displeasure away. He quickly walked to the launch pad and turned on the walkie talkie.
”Report on the Rockets.”
“…… Yes, we're gathering information Rocket inspection is over! You can launch at any time! ”
”Command received, all personnel attention, start the ignition countdown!” Speaking to the walkie talkie, Kerwin looks at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile and went to the side of the launch position. He opened the glass fiber reinforced plastic cover and put his hand above the launch button. Kelvin reopened the walkie talkie, his eyes fixed on the rocket outside the window.
