Chapter 297 (2/2)

Therefore, although Wang Bin's Tiangong technology developed only a single-stage rocket this time, the Aerospace Laboratory of Tiangong technology has started the research and development of multi-stage rockets. At the same time, Wang Bin hopes to complete the research and development of multi-stage rockets within this year.

However, in fact, the Aerospace Laboratory of Tiangong technology still encountered many difficulties in developing multi-stage rockets. It did not know the design of rocket separators, the start-up of engines after rocket classification, the attitude control of rockets during separation, and how to make the separation section not collide with core stage rockets during separation, resulting in rocket out of control, etc, This series of problems need to be solved by the aerospace laboratory.

However, although there are many difficulties, Wang Bin is also very confident that these problems can be solved. Of course, it is very difficult to solve all these problems in a short time, at least within a year, if we only rely on the rocket R & D laboratory.

But fortunately, Wang Bin has a science and technology mall. He is going to buy some rocket technology, especially about heavy and super heavy rockets.

Therefore, Wang Bin is fully confident that Tiangong technology can manufacture multistage rockets within this year.

At the same time, according to Wang Bin's expectation, the carrying capacity of the second rocket of Tiangong technology must be at least one level higher than that of the first rocket, that is, the carrying capacity of the next rocket must be at least five tons, and must have a certain medium orbit carrying capacity.

Of course, Wang Bin's ambitious plan, as the R & D Laboratory of Tiangong science and technology rocket, is naturally very opposed. In their view, the requirements put forward by Wang Bin have gone too far. At one time, the carrying capacity has been increased from 0.5 tons to 5 tons, which is easy to pull eggs.

They believe that launch vehicles should be developed step by step. Now that they have successfully developed launch vehicles with a carrying capacity of 0.5 tons, they can then develop launch vehicles with a carrying capacity of about 1 ton or 1.5 tons, and then develop rockets with a class of three to five tons, and then slowly improve the carrying capacity.

However, in Wang Bin's view, such R & D speed is too slow. Wang Bin can't wait. He can't wait. Tiangong technology can produce rockets with hundreds of tons of carrying capacity at once. In this way, Tiangong technology can immediately start building space stations and space exploration projects. In this way, it can also catch up with foreign private space companies.

Of course, in Wang Bin's original plan, he also wanted to develop larger rockets at once, such as rockets with a carrying capacity of more than ten or twenty tons. This proposal directly attracted strong opposition from the R & D personnel, and finally Cai changed into a rocket with a carrying capacity of about five tons.

As time went on, when Wang Bin returned to the rocket launch control room again, it was less than ten minutes before the first launch of Tiangong technology. At the same time, with the gradual approach of time, there was a trace of tension on the faces of Wang Bin and Tiangong technology's rocket design and R & D personnel, although they were comforted by the official rocket launchers, After all, this is the first launch of their first rocket of Tiangong technology.

On the contrary, the official launch personnel, due to their many rocket launch experience and even many rocket launch failures, did not have a trace of tension on their faces at this time, but all seriously operated the equipment and checked the monitoring data.

Finally, when it was 8:10, after the countdown to the launch of the rocket was read, the various instruments and hydrogen and oxygen fuel supply pipes on the rocket began to fall off, and the rocket began to ignite.

As a huge fire erupted from the bottom of the rocket, all the cooling devices on the rocket launch pad began to work, and the rocket began to rise slowly and steadily, and the speed also increased with the increase of height.

At the same time, the people who came to watch the rocket launch on the shore not far from the launch pad also took out their mobile phones or professional cameras and began to record this moment. Among these people, there are many foreigners with different skin colors from China.

And unlike the people in China, some of these people obviously have a trace of worry on their faces. In the hearts of many of them, in fact, their mood at this time is very contradictory. If they stand from the perspective of all mankind, they also very much hope that the rocket launch will succeed, but if they stand from the perspective of their national interests, They absolutely don't want this launch to succeed.

After all, once the launch is successful, it means that a private aerospace company with strong technical ability has emerged in China for so long, and this company will compete with their country's x aerospace company in aerospace business. Most importantly, they have no good way to take this private contract company in China!

Although the hearts of these people are very complex, the rocket launch will not stop because of their ideas. The rocket continues to live, and the speed is also improving. Soon, the rocket rises by thousands of meters. At the same time, on the ground, you can only see the fire emitted by the tail of the rocket when it flies.

Of course, at this time, although the rocket has risen to an altitude of more than 1000 meters, Wang Bin, the rocket design and R & D personnel of Tiangong technology, and the official launch personnel do not relax. After all, the rocket just took off successfully. They all know that, Only when the rocket completely puts the spacecraft into the predetermined orbit can it be regarded as a complete success.
