Chapter 219 Must Fly
The Long March 10 is still painted in the traditional paint of the Space Administration, with red digital lines and blue paint on the joints between the booster fairing and the rocket body.
Although everyone agrees that this paint is very rustic, it was previously used for small and medium-sized rockets such as the Long March 2 and 3, and it is immediately different when it is used on the Long March 10.
Due to the four boosters tied together, the Long March 10 looks more majestic than the Xinyuan 2A. Looking from below, you can see a huge monster with a width of about 13 meters, with 20 nozzles of ten YF130 engines densely packed.
Compared with the Xinyuan 2A, the Long March 10 has a more classical and inherited beauty.
Yun Hongjun caressed the huge nozzle of the YF130 intoxicatedly, enjoying the sense of accomplishment brought to him by this super rocket.
"General Lin, although the Long March 10 cannot be recovered, and its engine and body are inferior to the Xinyuan 2A, for the Space Agency, this is the super rocket we have been pursuing for half a century.
If it weren't for you, I think we would have to wait at least another ten years."
The boss nodded in agreement. If the Xinyuan Company hadn't appeared, the authorities would not have invested so much in aerospace. Such a giant rocket that can put more than 100 tons of payload into orbit would only be a plan in the minds of aerospace people.
Although the Long March 10 is planned to be used for only five years and will be retired after the new Long March 5 comes out, it is of great significance.
Its 480-ton liquid oxygen-kerosene engine will derive the YF135 with a single combustion chamber thrust of 360 tons, its 5-meter body technology will prepare for the 6-meter body, and the separator developed for it will be used in the CBC configuration of the Long March 15.
More importantly, the bare Long March 10B and the Long March 10B with two boosters have both LEO capacity of 24 tons and 70 tons, which has filled the map of rockets at all levels of capacity of the Space Agency.
The space agency has high hopes for the maiden flight of the Long March 10.
Lin Ju: "You completed the Long March 10 in 10 months... I can't imagine how crazy this speed is. Congratulations. If you encounter any problems, Xinyuan can also provide support."
Yun Hongjun: "Thank you. Only 7 hidden dangers were detected before the Long March 10 was shipped out of the factory. They are all minor problems. I hope there will be fewer troubles after assembly.
To be honest, I am actually a little scared now. The thrust of the Long March 3B is only 500 tons, and the Long March 10 is ten times that. Such a super rocket appears here like a dream."
Boss: "Don't worry, when Amei was determined to build the Saturn V, At that time, their strongest rocket in service had a carrying capacity of only a few tons, and the F1 engine with a single combustion chamber thrust of 680 tons had just begun to be designed. We must believe our comrades, and the inspection process of Long March 10 has not been missed. "
Lin Ju: "Long March 10 will be successful. If Mr. Qian can see it fly, he will be very happy."
Speaking of Mr. Qian, Yun Hongjun and the boss's eyes began to blur. Unlike Lin Ju, they have all seen Mr. Qian. The boss visited him once before Mr. Qian closed his eyes. For them, the latter is not only a symbolic symbol, but also a living old man they have seen.
7 years, 7 years have passed since he left. If he can live another 7 years, how happy he will be to see the Shuguang Project and Long March 10.
Yun Hongjun clenched his fist and put his hand on the white rocket body next to him.
"You must fly, you must fly!"
...
"There are still 3 days before the launch of the moon landing rocket, and the Long March 10 has been assembled."
"The 2016 Mid-Year Semiconductor Summit has ended, and important news has leaked."
"Several semiconductor companies have invested in Huanghe Semiconductor Technology Company, which is suspected to be a subsidiary of Xinyuan."
"The Science and Technology Commission has organized a new round of semiconductor technology battles."
"Fu Weiwu: The next generation of Loongson will use a ternary architecture."
On August 9, the mysterious semiconductor summit, which was suspended for four days, finally ended. A large group of media wanted to know the details, but the participants started to make trouble directly.
First, the 9 state-owned semiconductor companies participating in the meeting simultaneously financed Huanghe Semiconductor with technology and funds, increasing the number of shareholders to 13. The largest shareholder is Xinyuan Aerospace Power, holding 14% of the shares, and the second is Datang Telecom, holding 12%.
Wang Minjiang, the legal representative of Huanghe Semiconductor, holds 1.5% of the shares and serves as CEO.
The semiconductor company jointly established by 9 state-owned enterprises and Xinyuan has a registered capital of 5 billion yuan, which instantly attracted the attention of the outside world.
Such an enterprise is obviously expected to do great things. Even if it has only been established for half a month, the empty shell is scary enough.
Then the Science and Technology Commission issued a document to organize the "concentrated research on the design, manufacturing and software of new integrated circuits".
These 9 participating enterprises, including semiconductor enterprises and Yellow River Semiconductor that design and manufacture software and hardware, plus 14 research institutes, constitute the entire force for technical research.
Most people are familiar with this situation. Isn't it a technical battle?
In the last century, because the overall scientific research strength was relatively weak, if the country needed to break through a certain aspect of key technology, it would convene experts from related industries across the country to conduct concentrated technical research and special approval procedures to achieve "great efforts to create miracles".
Now such a technical battle is naturally to digest and master the ternary technology in the shortest time, and then promote it in a concentrated manner.
However, the Science and Technology Commission did not directly state that it was ternary technology, but it was limited by the official. Individuals are not so restricted. Fu Weiwu, a representative of Huake Loongson who also participated in the meeting, directly stated in an interview:
Loongson 4 will use the ternary "Longyin" architecture, adapted to the same domestically produced, Zhongbi Kirin V17 system developed by Huake Institute, and will launch high-performance domestic computers using domestically produced chips, domestic architecture, and domestic systems to the market before June 2017.
Fu Weiwu particularly emphasized that it was domestically produced, which made the media at the time feel extremely incredible. After confirming it twice, they still got an accurate answer.
As for the ternary system, these non-professional media were completely unaware of it. Only after the disclosure could insiders and enthusiasts realize the irrationality behind it.
But after Fu Weiwu, there was a series of such shocking content.
Tsinghua Unigroup announced that it will develop the next generation of ternary mobile chips, which will reach the mainstream advanced level of performance;
ZTE also participated in the summit and proposed that it has plans to make high-performance ternary mobile phone processors, and will sell mobile phones equipped with this chip in the near future, and said that ternary chips are better than binary, with low power consumption and high performance;
The official website of Yellow River Semiconductor has appeared the "Alien Beast" series of domestic desktop CPU development plans, which will use the self-developed "Taishan" architecture and will have up to 8 cores;
Great Wall Computer will launch a domestic notebook computer equipped with Yellow River Semiconductor or Loongson domestic CPU, domestic memory and hard disk, and 709 Institute graphics processor next year, priced no higher than 4999, and reaching mainstream performance.
