Super technology leader

The background color of "Chuohang" is white with a blue texture on it. It can be said that the color scheme is the same as that of domestic rockets.

The words "Interstellar Pilot" and "First Flight" are printed on the secondary rocket body, representing the company's name and rocket model respectively.

The top fairing is printed with the company's LOGO, and a white rocket taking off in the blue round bottom.

When the "First Flight" takes off, the doll mode can be formed.

The diameter of the rocket body of the "Chuohang" is only 2.5 meters. The core and booster are all of this diameter. It is very versatile. It is not comparable to the mainstream international core diameters of more than 3 meters and 5 meters, let alone 7 meters, 10. Rice.

And it is still three boosters, which is very different from the main two and four boosters on the planet.

Of course, there are also rockets with the same number of boosters as it is, Meriken’s Cosmic God-5 rocket, which also has a structure of three boosters.

But the three-booster structure of the Universe God-5 rocket can almost kill OCD. They are not evenly placed in three directions, but two on one side and one on the other.

It also has an advanced version, with five boosters, three on one side, and two at once.

Tang Chao, who is a symmetry party, feels uncomfortable every time he sees it.

Although the "Chuohang" designed by him is three boosters, they are at least evenly distributed in three directions. The line connecting the three boosters is an equilateral triangle, which is axisymmetric.

The height of the "Chuohang" is only 44 meters, and its take-off weight is 400 tons, which is similar to the Long March IIIB carrier rocket. It is 12 meters shorter and more than 50 tons lighter than the Long March IIIB.

It is such a younger brother-level rocket, but its carrying capacity is a little better than that of Long March 3B.

It also guarantees that it can send Kanyue 1 to the moon smoothly.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Chao had already cooperated with Bizhan to start a live broadcast. Although Bizhan's live broadcast capability was not as good as other professional live broadcast platforms, it was still acceptable.

Not to mention that this is not a simple live broadcast. There are various forces in the rear, and Abi is also a little more confident.

This live broadcast is different from the official live broadcast. It is a commercial live broadcast, so all kinds of ultra-high-definition shots are on.

At this time, Tang Chao was already sitting in an excellent position at the Binhai Launch Site, and from here one could clearly see the "Chuohang" rocket erected on the launch pad.

It is now temporarily set up as a small live broadcast room, and he sits with three people, which is regarded as a small open-air tea party.

There is an engineer from the launch site, an officer of the management committee of the Lunar Grand Prix, and a host.

Needless to say, the host is the one hosting the live broadcast and tea conversation.

He will draw some questions from the barrage and comment area for the three people present to answer. If there are no good questions, he will ask some prepared in advance.

The engineers at the launch site basically answered some questions for everyone.

The clerk of the Grand Prix can talk about it.

This person's name is Paul, a very common name for Meriken. He is in his forties and bald, but he can speak fluent Tianxia language. This is one of the reasons why he was sent over there.

As for the purpose of coming, of course, it is to supervise the entire launch process.

Although this is a test shot, according to the rules of the game, as long as it meets the game restrictions, and then returns to the moon for sampling within the specified time, it is considered a result.

So no matter whether you test fire or not, as long as you fire as required, they have the right to supervise you.

If you don't allow supervision, then your grades don't count.

Originally, this product was not allowed to enter here, but considering that this is not a sensitive area, not a variety of confidential computer rooms and workshops, and in recent years, various domestic departments have also opened up. The launch center has also invited some people to visit. Do propaganda and let him in.

The most important thing is that the above didn't want the Tang Chao team to be forced out because of this. Seeing that they were about to win the game held by Meriken, there was no reason to let him out at this time.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room is very good, just in time for Sunday, and now it has attracted more than 10 million people onlookers.

The audience can ask various questions in the barrage and comment area, and the host will ask if they see better or more interesting ones.

such as.

"Captain Tang, some netizens said that your rocket carried such an important load the first time it was launched. They all said that you were too aggressive. If it fails, will it affect your game progress?"

Hearing this question, Tang Chao laughed, "I thought we were already very conservative. It turns out that we are so radical in the eyes of netizens. If this is the case, then I'll talk about it."

"The technology used on this rocket has actually been studied very early, and this is why we can build it so quickly."

"As for the success rate, this is really hard to say, because in my opinion, the success rate of rocket launches is only half and half, either success or failure."

"We have done all the inspections we can do, and all the items are shown to be qualified, then in our eyes it is a sound and ready-to-launch rocket."

"In my opinion, as long as all the tests are passed, as long as a complete rocket is formed, instead of pulling out semi-finished products for launch, then there is no question of whether it is radical or not."

After listening to what Tang Chao said, the netizens felt nothing wrong. If they were not radical, they just saw if they could fly.

What most people think of as "radical" is that the design is too exaggerated, it can’t fly, or it’s full of instability.

In their view, the first flight "is the shape of the game", "first flight in a few months", "launched lunar payload as soon as it arrives" and so on all meet this indicator.

But it was made by others and passed various tests. It is completely a normal rocket that can fly.

I just don’t know if I can succeed at one time.

So, whether it is praise or criticism, let's wait for the launch.

After everyone chatted for a while, someone came to tell Tang Chao that it was time to prepare for the launch button.

Tang Chao left the seat and asked Zhang Liyan to come up, and immediately went to the command and control hall.

At the same time, although it is early morning at Meriken, many people are still paying attention to this test mission.

There are not only those space enthusiasts who are concerned about the Lunar Grand Prix, various competition teams, but also official people.

There is a live broadcast on Tianxia, ​​and there is also a live broadcast on Meriken. They are live broadcasts of Tang Chao.

After all, Tang Chao and the others spoke Chinese throughout, and ordinary people in Meriken didn't have the need to learn Chinese, so they needed an English live broadcast room to slightly translate Tang Chao's live broadcast.

There is no need to translate word by word, just translate the key information, and then talk about your views and answer the questions raised by netizens on your side.

Of course, the competition committee has provided two live broadcast addresses, one is Tang Chao's full Chinese live broadcast room, and the other is the English live broadcast room they recommend.

Those who don't understand Chinese clicked directly into the English live broadcast room. At first glance, they were acquaintances. They were aerospace critics who commented on the technical solutions and levels of the participating teams during this period. They immediately began to listen and ask carefully.

Those international students who understand Chinese or come from Tianxia opened both live broadcast rooms. When they looked at these two, their faces immediately became unsightly.

"Xiete, it turned out to be these two weird guys again."
