Chapter 990 Listen to the sound of two hundred million dollars?

Launching rockets near the equator can maximize the use of the earth's rotational power to save fuel, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

If someone studies it, it will find that the launch sites for launching geostationary orbit satellites are basically close to the Earth's equator. The advantage of sea launch is that it can prevent rockets from flying over inhabited areas. More importantly, the sea launch platform can move according to needs and the launch location can be flexibly selected.

At nearly twelve o'clock in the night, the Osed Sea Launch Platform arrived at the predetermined location.

At this moment, people were busy controlling machines to set up rockets. Han Xuan could already see the big guy with a length of more than fifty meters and a diameter of nearly four meters under the light.

If you don’t feel excited, it must be a lie. This is a Rocket you bought by your own family!

The Zen-3sl rocket started development as early as the 1980s in the Soviet Union and was officially completed a few years ago. Its main production equipment is located in Ukraine, and Russia also provides some important components such as engines.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine and Russia wanted to push the Zenith to the international commercial market, but because the two countries lacked funds, they looked for foreign partners, and Haishe Company was born...

After contacting the staff of the Osay's maritime launch platform, the captain of the Snow Mountain yacht, they sent a helicopter to park on the apron on the top deck of the yacht, and sent people to the launch platform in four times.

Then the Snow Mountain left far away and turned into a small dot, so as not to be affected if the rocket failed to launch and exploded.

The Bernankes and his wife stayed on the yacht. They were not guests, so there was no need to bring them over to visit. Only Fat Ding followed the animals, so that they could avoid unnecessary troubles...

After coming to the huge artificial steel platform, Han Xuan could smell a faint paint smell. Now the white new appearance is all re-painted. In fact, it was created as early as 1983.

He heard that Haishang Company was using this German launch platform as a prototype to try to create its own sea launch platform. He was very moved by this because his company would also use it in the future.

Director Susan and others went to film the scene of setting up the rockets, while Han Xuan and the old man came to the main control room under the leadership of the staff.

Seeing Anya dozing off one after another, she smiled and asked her, "Do you want to find a place for you and take a rest for a while?"

It may take several hours to complete the commissioning and wait until the rocket is launched in the early morning."

"Need not.

Today I will be willful once and stay up late and don’t sleep.

Help me hold Fat Ding, I can't hold this guy anymore."

Anya said with a smile.

“Let it come down and run it on its own.

Fat Ding, I warn you, if you dare to make trouble again today, I will definitely castrate you when I go back. Have you heard of it?"

Han Xuan took the fat cat from the girl's arms and spoke and threatened it.

Fat Ding suddenly felt a chill under her crotch, clamped her legs hard, and blocked her big tail, and nodded with her head. She swore that she would be good.

The control room is particularly busy. People transmit various parameters and adjust the position of the launch pad after receiving feedback.

Han Xuan almost couldn't understand what he was talking about, he only knew the wind speed, ocean current speed, etc.

Through the thick glass window, you can see the rocket in the distance. It has stood there, more than a dozen floors high.

Seeing a launch vehicle on TV and witnessing it with your own eyes are two completely different feelings. As one of the most cutting-edge engineering technologies of mankind, the greatness of today's technology is revealed everywhere!

You can also see the Boeing company logo on the wall. Boeing also has a stake in this company, and it is the largest shareholder with a shareholding of 40%.

A Boeing executive, after introducing himself, introduced them to the launch situation and the specific parameters of the rocket...

It has not been done yet.

Anya fell asleep when she leaned her head on Han Xuan's shoulder at around 1 o'clock in the night.

I just said a big talk and had to stay up all night, but I can't resist such things as sleepyness.

Ramirez also wanted to borrow his shoulders from Han Xuan, but he ruthlessly refused. The reason was very simple because he was a man.

At this moment, Ramirez was curled up in a chair with a blanket covered with a nearby staff completely ignored their presence and was busy.

I was lucky today, there was no wind at night and no dark clouds blocked me.

The old man was leaning his head against the wall and closing his eyes to rest. At this moment, he heard the Boeing executive named Smith just now and walked over and said, "Mr. Han, we are about to launch."

Equipment debugging has been completed and everything is normal.”

Mr. Han woke up suddenly, and Han Xuan also opened his eyes.

I raised my wrist and looked at the time on the Pattafil Red Diamond Watch. It was already five in the morning, which was the most sleepy time every day.

He rubbed his eyes in a daze, woke up Anya and Ramirez, and asked Secretary Dawson to help pour some cups of coffee. As for Isabelle, she was in good spirits.

There is a reason for choosing to launch in the early morning, when the sun is at the horizon and the sunlight can shine on the rocket.

The earth is in a darker environment, which produces a large contrast and forms better optical observation conditions to conduct optical measurement research on rocket flight.

Standing by the window, the people on the deck are already evacuating back. The rocket fuel will produce toxic gases after it is burned, and the console is equipped with an independent air circulation system, so there will be no problem.

Han Xuan stared at the Rockets for a while and asked Mr. Smith, saying, "We are not at risk here, right?"

I mean, in case of an emergency, like an explosion…”

“Normally not.

Rockets rarely explode when they are ignited. Now the technology is very mature. Compared to rocket explosions, I am more worried about whether the satellite can be sent into a predetermined orbit.

If an accident really happens, just press the emergency button and within two seconds, a sealed steel plate will fall off the outside of the glass.

The rescue ship is already waiting and can be evacuated at any time, which is very safe."

The old man was skeptical about this and asked Gabriel in a low voice, confirming that the escape route had been planned, so he was relieved.

News from the command and control room kept coming out of the communicator. The real control room was on land, and Osed was just a launch terminal.

Hearing the woman's voice saying that it will light the fire in two minutes. An old Russian researcher dressed like Einstein asked Han Xuan: "When pressing this button later, the rocket will ignite. Do you want to try firing a rocket?

Don't press now, wait until the countdown is over before pressing.”

The translator was about to pass it on to them, and Han Xuan had already replied in fluent Russian: "Thank you, I'm so happy!

Press it when the countdown is over, I remember it.”

The countdown to the last ten seconds, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. When it was zero, he pressed the button hard!

I saw a lot of white smoke suddenly appearing on the deck, and fire and huge sounds came, as if some beast had woken up!

The huge rocket slowly took off, and the light was simply unavailable to open its eyes.

When it disappears from sight, people quickly run to another indoor observation point where they can see a higher place.

The rocket was getting faster and faster. When Han Xuan was watching it with a telescope, he suddenly found a large ball of fire emerged somewhere on the rocket!

Others around also saw it, and there was silence in an instant... (To be continued.).
