Xiang Qianjin looked at Zheng Miaomiao. He said helplessly: "Miaomiao, you let your grandfather hear this. Are you not afraid that he will bury you?"
Zheng Miao wittily spit out a small tongue, she said with a smile: "you don't say who knows?"
Xiang Qianjin gave a wry smile, and Weng Weiyi said with a smile, "Miao Miao's coming shows that Mr. Zheng is very relieved of you. Let's not talk about that. Let's do the experiment first."
Xiang Qianjin agrees with Weng Weiyi's words very much, but who will come first? Let's do the experiment first.
Xiang Qianjin came to the test site and found that it was really big. The test platforms here were large and small. The wreckage of the rocket thrust engine burned down was still left in the yard. The appearance of the engine should have been very tragic during the test run.
After all, successful scientific experiments come from numerous failures. This kind of thing is a common thing for astronauts.
Weng Weiyi went into the ion engine test workshop with the experimental plan. This is an internal workshop. Because the work of the ion engine is not so heroic, the space needed is not very large, but it still needs to have a safe distance to prevent explosion. After all, anything can happen.
Xiang Qianjin and Weng Weiyi went to the test bench. The engine had been fixed. Xiang Qianjin looked at the circuit carefully, and the circuit was being modified according to the design drawing. Xiang Qianjin directs the staff to carry out the welding seriously. Basically, every point should be carefully looked at. The lunch is simply made up with compressed biscuits here. There is no canteen here, so it's good to make do with it.
In the afternoon, all the circuits were finally checked. After the last check, the test run began.
Basically, engine test is called "test run", and its scientific name is "engine ignition test". The thing to test is very simple, that is, whether this thing can meet the requirements and push the satellite to change orbit in high altitude orbit.
We have a solid foundation in the test run. There should be no problem with such a simple circuit test run. After the instructor called "321", the small plasma jet engine ejected a small tail flame, and the data on the data panel began to beat. After the remote control switch on the other side of the base was turned on, the engine really ignited! And in three seconds, the engine actually made a full thrust of 1.55kg!
"My God! Single 1.55kg?! The test run was successful
The crowd glared and exclaimed excitedly. Then they moved forward and said in a low voice, "long range cease-fire experiment, start!"
Then, after the remote control device issued the stop command, the engine really stopped, Xiang Qianjin excitedly said: "good! Really good! The delay control is not bad! "
This test run really gave Weng Weiyi some confidence. However, Weng Weiyi knew that the test run did not mean anything. After all, if there was no problem with the general direction of the engine, the thrust of the engine would be expected. The key is that after remote sensing, the engine needs to turn its direction, and it needs to be carried out in a vacuum environment. What should we do at this stage? Can the engine still achieve this thrust in a vacuum? There is no guarantee yet.
To put it bluntly, this is to confirm that there is no problem with the general direction of the engine. The next step is to sort out the details. Although this test drive is exciting, it actually has no real meaning, which we all know. But no one said it.
"Well, let's go back first!"
"I won't go back. I'll stay here for the time being, because I have to make direct design modification right now. I can finish it faster and more directly here in the proving ground. In addition, according to the experiment plan, our second experiment is remote sensing steering control, and I still have some places to watch the prototype need to be changed. So I won't go first! "
"You're not going back? I'm not going back. I'm here with you. " When Zheng Miaomiao heard that Xiang Qianjin couldn't go back, Weng Weiyi immediately said, "no, it certainly can't. There's no heating here. It's winter. You have to get sick here. Why don't we take the prototype away and take it back to the lab. although we can't do the start experiment, we can simulate the improvement of the steering experiment! No, we can't. We just go to the vacuum test site. The vacuum test site is near the base, where there is a vacuum chamber. We can directly carry out the modification experiments of various parts there in one step. "
Xiang Qianjin sighed: "no, the experiment still needs to be done step by step. Since we are going to make this thing, we have to suffer a little. Director Weng, I won't stay here too long, and I think there should be dormitories here? "
"Yes, but it's not like us. We don't have dormitories for men and women. We have to make do with sleeping. If you really have to be here. That's fine. I'll stay. Let's just squat here and finish all the parts of the experimental plan that are carried out here. "Xiang Qianjin said with a smile: "thank you, director Weng!"
Heard here, the team leader immediately said seriously: "live to live, but absolutely can't run around, there are wolves in this proving ground. You must be careful! "
Zheng Miaomiao asked in surprise: "and... Wolves? Is this the Gobi
"Who told you that there are no wolves in the Gobi desert? There are many wolves in the Gobi desert. You just don't know. The endurance of the wolves in the Gobi desert is very good. They pursue oasis life. Our experimental sites are not too far away from the water source, just in case of accidents. Once there's a sandstorm on the Gobi desert, it's a holy place for animals to escape from the sandstorm
"Oh my God, there are sandstorms? How big is the sandstorm here? " Zheng Miaomiao was surprised and asked. The team leader said with a smile, "little girl, I'm not trying to scare you. The sandstorm here will kill people. It's not fun at all."
Xiang Qianjin said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. We won't walk around. We're just here to work out the plan. We won't leave the yard."
"That's good, but be careful. We'll leave you two soldiers as guards. Besides, I'll leave you some more guns. Do you know how to shoot them? "
Xiang Qianjin said with a smile, "I will. Who else will?"
Liu Yan raised his hand and said with a smile, "I will, too."
"That's almost enough. If you have four guns, as long as you don't encounter wolves, there should be no problem. And there are many places to avoid wolves. You should be safe! " With that, the captain asked a soldier to keep his pistol and Bayi bar on his back. Xiang Qianjin took the gun and said with a smile, "thank you, Captain!"
"It doesn't matter. It's all for national construction! You must pay attention to safety. I'll have someone send you something necessary for daily life tomorrow. If you need anything, you can call the base directly for preparation. We'll send it directly at that time. "
"Yes, thank you." Weng Weiyi returned with a smile. The team leader was still a little worried. He told the two little soldiers carefully before he left.
This is true in the Gobi desert. It doesn't look so peaceful here. Originally, the testing ground was in a very desolate place, where there was no village in front and no shop behind. Supplies are delivered entirely by motorcade. The price is very high! However, there is no way. This is the bitterness of national researchers.
Xiang Qianjin didn't feel any hardship at all. Can't you work in China? Then you'd better go to the sea.
Anyway, there were not two technicians going to the sea in the 1990s.
Their dormitory is a row of bungalows with upper and lower bunks. There is a small stove in the room. Zheng Miaomiao and Weng Weiyi live in the lower bunk. They pull a curtain on the bed and Xiang Qianjin and Liu Yan sleep in the upper bunk. In this way, they won't be so embarrassed.
Xiang Qianjin sits in the room, baking the stove and drinking hot water leisurely. Then he starts to redesign on the small table. Other people follow him. Liu Yan looks at Zheng Miaomiao curiously and asks, "Xiao Zheng, is Xiang Qianjin like this when he was in school?"
"Yes! You don't think I'm a young man. I'm a man who is convinced by foreign experts. The foreign expert I met not long ago was stunned. What my grandfather told me, I'm relieved to hear it! What did the foreign expert say? We Huaxia people don't have the ability to produce advanced production lines. What happened? I am not only slapped by my seniors, but also cooperate with our company politely to develop the production line
"My God, is this a college student? Now college students are so powerful? " Liu Yan asked suspiciously.
Zheng Miaomiao said with a smile: "of course, real college students! And I tell you, they all say that my senior is an alien! "
"Ha? alien? That's a little bit off, isn't it? " Liu Yan asked in surprise.
On one side, Weng Weiyi hugged his shoulder and said, "I believe it. This is not an alien. I really can't make it clear! "
