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

Chapter 293 How about taking a car to the sky?

"Rocket test launch?"

When Ruan Min heard Zhao Mo's request, he looked at Academician Li Dong next to him. Academician Li Dong did not say anything and had an expressionless face. He naturally thought that the two of them came together to request him.

He never expected that Li Dong would be speechless at this moment.

So he just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Okay, no problem, I will coordinate and try to arrange it within two weeks. It also happens that the Wenchang launch site is completed, let's test it together."

Li Dong was stunned: "..."

No, is Zhao Mo so impressive?

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ruan Min agreed to Zhao Mo's unreasonable request without thinking. Arrange it within a week?

He is a senior astronaut, but the rocket launch was not planned and arranged several months in advance, so he didn't have to think about it?

Now, Zhao Mo makes arrangements as soon as he opens his mouth?

"Okay, just pamper him~"

Li Dong suddenly felt a little sad.

However, it was a good thing for him to be able to test fire so quickly, so after feeling sad, he had to be happy, so a smile appeared on his face and he joked: "Director, Professor Zhao, if you do this, I’m under a lot of pressure~”

Ruan Min: "???"

What's the situation? It sounds like you don't plan to test-fire and verify it so soon?

When there was a question mark on his face, Zhao Mo had already thanked him and said with a smile: "Thank you, Bureau Ruan." Then he said to Academician Li Dong: "Mr. Li, take me to see the Rockets tomorrow, and we will discuss with our brother units by the way. Let’s see if we can hit something up this time.”

In his previous life, he basically knew all the major launch sites in the country, namely Jiuquan, Wenchang, Xichang and Taiyuan.

Only after participating in aerospace research in this life did I know that Wenchang was only built in 2009, that is, in June last year!

You know, in his previous life, he often heard that a certain rocket was launched in Wenchang, and he always had the impression that it was the same old launch site as Jiuquan.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be brand new!

Then, he also learned that Wenchang was built to meet large-mass launch missions. It was an important part of my country's three-step strategy and was a supporting project for the Tiangong Space Station and manned moon landing. The principle is also simple. Wenchang is strategically located, close to the equator. With the same mass, launching here consumes the least fuel. At the same time, it is close to the sea, so shipping is convenient, and the risk of debris falling is low. When launching a large-mass spacecraft, it is more effective than the other three major spacecrafts. The launch base has unparalleled advantages.

It is indeed the best to launch super-heavy carrier rockets such as Changxiao Wu and Zhenchang Wu from the Wenchang launch site.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Li Dong felt touched by being trusted, but at the same time, he also thought that Zhao Mo's operation was too hasty.

Under normal circumstances, it is just a test launch of the rocket, like the recent test launch of America's Ares X rocket. The factor considered is the first test launch, and there will be no other losses in case of failure.

Whether satellites or other spacecraft, they are all expensive to build, and if they are gone, the loss will be huge.

In particular, both Changxiaowu and Zhenchangwu are big guys, and the spacecraft that can be launched are very large. Being large means that they are expensive to build, and the losses will be even greater.

When he was about to speak, Ruan Min had already spoken in front of him. Ruan Min said with a smile: "Professor Zhao, General Master Wang has talked with me about this part before and agreed with Qi's suggestion, so we have prepared a big Quality communication satellite~”

Hearing this, Li Dong no longer wanted to speak.

What the hell is this?

Massive communication satellite, what are you doing?

Scan and monitor the whole world?

He is not a satellite expert, but he also knows that the large-mass communication satellites sent to the sky using their Long-Small Five or True Long-Six Five must not be ordinary communication satellites, but the kind of "military" satellites that can scan the world with two or three. .

"It seems that everyone can't wait, haha~"

Zhao Mo said happily, with a smile on his face.

He was indeed happy, because he only mentioned this to Commander Wang during the military parade, but he didn't expect that the higher-ups would actually do this.

He couldn't help but think: "It seems that the fight is very fierce, and I can't wait any longer. But again, America is a dog that can't change its habit of eating shit~"

Ruan Min's mouth twitched: "..."

Good guy, apart from those people, you are the most active among the scientists around me, right?

Li Dong was almost immune, but was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Isn't it too radical? For the first test launch, my opinion is still leaning towards not launching the spacecraft up. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens. Ten thousand. It would be such a pity if there is any loss~"

After hearing this, Ruan Min subconsciously looked at Zhao Mo.

Zhao Mo smiled, but did not say whether he had no confidence in his rocket, but joked: "The engine is recyclable. If you are worried that the first test launch is not safe, how about we fire it during the test launch?" A specially made car goes up to heaven?”

"???"

Both Ruan Min and Li Dong looked like question marks on their faces.

Both of them were stunned.

What kind of brain circuit is this? Ruan Min, a dignified director, was speechless at this moment: "Is this appropriate?"

Li Dong also spoke a little dull: "Professor Zhao, your idea is too bizarre. How did you come up with it?"

Zhao Mo just smiled and said, "That's how I came up with it. Just tell me if it's okay?"

"This……"

Ruan Min and Li Dong looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this.

A car weighs one or two tons. To build a special car, you can get more than ten or twenty tons. It is just a matter of stuffing more solid steel into it. It is not very difficult and the cost is cheaper than a satellite of the same weight. There is absolutely no problem in going up to the sky, and the price/performance ratio is high.

However, this idea sounds "outrageous" and we have never done it before!

"Let's evaluate it. You can't just go up there with nothing, right?"

Zhao Mo said casually, and then said with a smile: "Besides, to bring cars to the sky, we can also link up with car manufacturers to attract some investment and create profits at the same time. We can achieve multiple things with one stone~"

"Hey, this is okay~"

Li Dong sounded indifferent, then thought about it carefully and felt that this proposal was still a good one.

"Ahem, you can think about it~"

Ruan Min was suddenly moved. After coughing, he said: "We will have a meeting to discuss it later~"

He is very sensitive to creating profits.

There is no way, our aerospace development is very short of funds. In a period when everything is centered on economic development, funding for aerospace activities, a major national project with heavy investment and slow results, has always been at a loss. They, the astronauts, have only one dollar to break into two halves.

Now that I heard that it can create profits, how could anyone not be tempted?

More importantly, Zhao Moti's plan is extremely maneuverable and has almost no possibility of failure. On the one hand, they don’t need to build the car, and the car factory builds it by itself, which is equivalent to no cost; second, the car factory requires them to launch the car into the sky, which is equivalent to a worldwide advertisement, which of course costs money.

Using the money from the car factory to run the car factory's affairs, they tested engines and rockets, and they were indeed able to kill two birds with one stone.

Ruan Min also wanted to go one step further and launch a car with a rocket. We have never done such a crazy thing! No other country in the world has done this before. This breaks the rules and is extremely explosive. It adds a spoonful of hot oil to the fire of aerospace activities. It will undoubtedly attract the attention of the world and help my country's aerospace development.

The more he thought about it, the more Ruan Min thought it was feasible, and after saying a few words, he set off back to the capital.

Zhao Mo arranged the finishing work, and then followed Li Dong to see his Chang Xiao Wu and Zhen Chang Wu.

This idea did not come to him suddenly, nor did he think about it with great effort, but it was something done by Master Ma in his previous life. He thought this operation was pretty awesome, so he tried it out to see.

In addition to teaching open source and liking to brag, Master Ma is actually an outstanding person with very thoughtful ideas. He is a very colorful person in the history of aerospace and is admirable.

No one is perfect, and the excellence of others must still be recognized. This is seeking truth from facts.

The next day, Zhao Mo, who returned to the capital, went directly to Li Dong. Under Li Dong's guidance, he saw the actual Chang Xiao Wu and Zhen Chang Wu rockets. Including its YF-1000 engine, the long and small five are 80 meters tall, and the real long five is 100 meters tall. They are two big guys.

"Chang Xiao Wu is about the same height as the Energy No. 1.8, and its carrying capacity is basically the same; the True Chang Xiao Wu is about the same height as the Saturn V, but its carrying capacity is much higher than the Saturn V. The design is about times..."

Li Dong didn't need to introduce too much, he just gave a brief introduction, and Zhao Mo knew it very well.

The carrying capacity of a rocket basically depends on the thrust of the engine, and the rest depends on the structural design and material combination.

After reading it, Zhao Mo listened to Li Dong's data introduction, roughly calculated it in his mind, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Li Dong and his research team basically utilized the thrust of the YF-1000 to the extreme, adhering to and practicing the highly cost-effective style of "spending the least effort to do the most things" in my country's aerospace field.

After the visit, Zhao Mo and Li Dong were called to a meeting by the space agency to work with other departments to study and determine the time for the test launch.

After repeated negotiations, it was finally agreed that the test launch time would be April 4.

The plan to launch a car into space was written into the report, but it was just an alternative plan, and then it was submitted to the higher authorities for approval.

Originally, Ruan Min proposed the idea of ​​asking Zhao Mo to attract investment and find a car factory at the meeting, but Zhao Mo rejected it without even thinking about it. Isn't this a joke? Where does he have time?

"It will be fine at the end of this month~"

After the meeting, Zhao Mo did not go back to school, but returned home.

After telling his family not to disturb him, Zhao Mo went back to the room alone, locked the door, then lay on the bed and looked at the attribute panel in his mind.

"Draw the lottery first!"

Zhao Mo thought for a moment.

The next moment, a large lottery wheel appeared on the system panel, and the pointer began to spin crazily.

Just for a breath, the lottery pointer stopped rotating and settled in one position.

When Zhao Mo looked over, the system's voice rang at the same time: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning..."
