You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

Chapter 216 No, this is the real reason!

Aerospace is a matter of life and death.

In China, any problems arising from space activities are major problems and are unacceptable.It’s not that the Chinese people don’t accept it, it’s also that the government doesn’t accept it, and “foreign friends” won’t accept it either.

You guys have always been successful, how could something go wrong?
This doesn't work!
Absolutely not!

But in fact, looking around the world, it is normal for space activities to have problems, and it is also the art of explosion.

After Master Ma started the aerospace activity of "vigorously producing miracles" in order to reduce costs, explosions became a daily occurrence. Every now and then, an explosion of art would appear, allowing people around the world to watch a grand fireworks worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

Master Ma believes that as long as it is built, it must be launched. As for whether it is successful and whether there are any problems, we will wait until it is launched and check the problems during the launch.

"...That's what happened. Let's get there quickly~"

The person who came to report told the problem about the explosion, and then looked at Tan Kaihua anxiously, waiting for his order.

Only then did Zhao Mo learn that the engine that exploded was a secondary engine developed for the Long March [-] launch vehicle.

"Long March [-]? Fat Five? Are you testing the engine now?"

Zhao Momo thought, in the original history, the first flight of the Long March 2016 carrier rocket was in 20. From the beginning, it was designed to build the rocket with the strongest carrying capacity in my country, with a carrying capacity of more than [-] tons. It was specially used to build our country's rocket. Tiangong Space Station and subsequent lunar and deep space exploration missions.

This matter is often done on a time scale of five, six, or even ten years, which shows the difficulty of aerospace and our country's unswerving determination to develop the aerospace industry!

"Let's go there now~"

Tan Kaihua made a prompt decision, and then called several people in the team to leave immediately.

"Director Tan, let me go with you~"

Zhao Mo quickly trotted to follow him and took the initiative to ask for help.

Tan Kaihua said as he walked: "We are going to the depths of the Qinling Mountains this time. The conditions are difficult. Professor Zhao, there is no need for you to go. You should stay here in the capital."

Zhao Mo said: "Director Tan, I was born in a rural area, and I have lived through days of hunger, cold, and no clothes."

Tan Kaihua paused, then turned to look at him. His solemn expression softened a little, but he still didn't let go: "Professor Zhao, your identity is different now~"

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "What's the difference? Don't we all contribute to the country?"

Tan Kaihua was startled, but when he saw that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, he thought for a while and nodded and said, "That's okay. As long as you convince Director Gao and you, Principal Gu, I will take you with me."

"Good~"

Zhao Mo nodded and immediately made two phone calls.

By the time Tan Kaihua and his team members brought the necessary tools and equipment and were ready to set off, Zhao Mo had already obtained the permission and told Tan Kaihua the permission.

"..."

Tan Kaihua wanted to say that Director Gao and Principal Gu from Wudaokou were all messing around, but since they had agreed before, there was absolutely no reason to go back on it, so he took Zhao Mo along with him.

Thousands of miles away, only two or three hours.

Along the way, everyone was silent and looked serious and worried.

After landing on a special plane, Zhao Mo followed Tan Kaihua as soon as he got off the plane and was taken by a special car to a base deep in the Qinling Mountains, a base with only the number 067 code.

There was no break and no one wanted to take a break.

After arriving at the base, Tan Kaihua and others went straight to the explosion site to investigate.

After the inspection, the surrounding remnants and engine debris were immediately analyzed and studied.

Zhao Mo did not take action. He was afraid that his random movements would damage the scene and lead to inaccurate analysis by Tan Kaihua and others, so he just watched from the side.Not only observed how Tan Kaihua and others analyzed the accident problem, but also observed the logic, technical means, theoretical knowledge used in their analysis, etc.

"Who is he?"

"You don't even know him? He is the famous Zhao Mo!"

"Zhao Mo? The mathematics professor who discovered the Higgs particle?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"What is the discovery of the Higgs particle? For the scientific community, proving the ABC conjecture and inventing a new channel coding scheme are more important achievements!"

"Yes! The Higgs particle is just the particle predicted by Higgs. It is not a new discovery, nor is it a big breakthrough. Compared with proving the ABC conjecture, it is nothing."

"I didn't expect him to come too~"

"Is he going to join our cause?"

"Studying, right? He just watched and didn't do anything."

"It is said outside that the magical Professor Zhao will usher in big breakthroughs and discoveries in any field where he joins. Maybe, we will also usher in big breakthroughs in the field of rocket engines~"

"It seems that the higher-ups specially sent Professor Zhao here~"

The people at Base 067 suddenly became curious. They were both curious about why Zhao Mo was here, and also curious about Zhao Mo's behavior of just standing aside and watching after following him, and they started talking about it.

It's September now and the summer is hot.

But the night in the ravines deep in the Qinling Mountains was cold and humid, and Tan Kaihua's team squatted at the explosion site under the light to conduct research.

Large swaths of mosquitoes were attracted by the light. Despite various extermination measures, the researchers still could not be prevented from being bitten all over their bodies.

Zhao Mo was also bitten badly by mosquitoes. From time to time, he had to reach out and slap them, which was painful and annoying.This is a new experience and a painful encounter.

This encounter was completely different from anything he had experienced before.

After his rebirth, he was basically in an ivory tower school. The most difficult conditions were just cutting rice and throwing rice at home during the summer after the college entrance examination. But that was during the day, and at most it was exposure to the scorching sun and physical fatigue.But like now, my body is not only tired, but also has to endure mosquito bites. This is not an ordinary discomfort.

"The environment is really difficult. This is still 2008! I can't imagine how difficult it was to grow mushrooms in the 60s and [-]s~"

Zhao Mo recalled the bitterness and sweetness in this way, and then his irritable mood gradually stabilized.

He carefully observed Tan Kaihua, his team members, and the staff at Base 067. None of them moved as much as him, and they were basically very quiet. They seemed to be accustomed to this.

As for Director Tan Kaihua, Zhao Mo saw with his own eyes several large spotted mosquitoes biting him hard on his neck, but Director Tan seemed unaware and only focused on studying the remains of the engine in his hand.

Zhao Mo was filled with admiration. His determination was much better than that of Tang Sanzang in Journey to the West. He thought to himself: "My willpower training is still not up to the mark~"

Mencius once said that it is hard on one's mind, straining one's muscles and bones, starving one's body and skin, depleting one's body, and messing up one's actions. Therefore, tempting one's mind and forbearance has benefited what one cannot.

that's right!
Later, people who were accustomed to a short, fast pace did not understand the meaning of "growing up through hardship", but started criticizing it with words and writings. It was really stupid.

Zhao Mo then stopped paying attention to the temporary attack on his body and began to concentrate on research, using his own knowledge to analyze the problems of the explosion.

Uneven combustion?

Uneven engine casting?

Is there a problem with the engine casing manufacturing?

Combustion oscillation?

According to all possible reasons, Zhao Mo conducted detailed analysis and investigation one by one.

Tan Kaihua's team soon started a heated discussion. Like him, they observed the wreckage and then proposed a possible cause for comparison, analysis and demonstration.

"...it's unlikely to be an uneven combustion, the residues at the site show a very complete combustion. I'm leaning towards a non-linear interplay between turbulent fuel and oxidant flows, sound waves and heat from chemical reactions in the combustion chamber. The combustion oscillation caused by the effect~"

"Could it be caused by insufficient pressure in the propellant injectors?"

"If a single lack of pressure is not enough to cause the engine to explode, it may also be related to poor insulation between the casing and the propellant."

"Is the case overheating?"

……

Zhao Mo's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was analyzing it himself while listening to their arguments to confirm his own thoughts.Gradually, most of the possible causes were eliminated.

The night is getting deeper~
No one had any intention of going back to rest.

Someone from the 067 base staff reminded them whether they should go back to rest and sleep first, and come back for analysis tomorrow.

Tan Kaihua replied without raising his head: "Rest and sleep? We can't rest until the problem is solved, and we can't sleep either!"

Although the others did not speak, their attitudes were consistent with Tan Kaihua's. Find out the problem before going to bed, otherwise don't mention sleeping.

It's late at night, I don't know what time it is.

Zhao Mo was still in high spirits, his eyes were very bright, searching for clues on the scene and the engine wreckage.

After investigating most of the possible causes, he probably had an idea.

Soon, the remains of a large alloy disc with jagged edges and a through hole in the middle appeared in his field of vision. A member of the team gently took it and observed it for a while and then put it aside.

"what?"

Zhao Mo exclaimed in surprise and quickly took two steps forward to observe carefully: "There seems to be some trace here~"

He did not observe it with his hands, but just turned on the light and looked over. Sure enough, he saw some very fine cracks on the surface of the disk. He was not wrong just now.

"Turbine disc!"

Zhao Mo secretly thought, and after silently calculating for a moment, he knew that he should have found the true cause.

"Director Tan, come and take a look~"

Zhao Mo came back to his senses, quickly looked at Tan Kaihua, and greeted him.

"what?"

Tan Kaihua was studying other wreckage with other members of his team when he suddenly heard a sound and was unable to react for a while.

It wasn't until Zhao Mo said it again and waved at the same time that Tan Kaihua reacted, then got up and walked over with a puzzled look on his face.

Seeing what Zhao Mo was pointing at, Tan Kaihua just said "turbine disk" and then lost his voice. All his attention was focused on the tiny cracks.

The member who had just put down the turbine disk saw it and said quickly: "Director, this crack is not enough to cause the engine to explode. This is the allowable range."

Zhao Mo: "No! This is not within the allowable range! If my judgment is correct, this is the real cause of the explosions. Other turbine disks from the same batch will have cracks of varying degrees!"

This is very certain.

Member who spoke: "..."

No, didn’t you come here to visit and study?
