Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

After all, this is the task that Ning Chen needs to complete now. Only by completing this task can Ning Chen get the 20 evolution points rewarded by the system and refresh the next system task.

And this is also one of Ning Chen's long-cherished wishes, to allow Xia people to stand on the moon as soon as possible, demonstrating Xia's strong scientific and technological strength.

However, Ning Chen also knew in his heart that this matter was not so easy to accomplish. Even if it was perfect in theory, he would still encounter various problems in actual work.

Unknowingly, a few months passed. During this period, both Xingchen Technology and Xia Guo Space Administration made many project breakthroughs.

Xingchen Technology successfully manufactured the rocket engine designed by Ning Chen, and Xia Guo Space Administration also successfully solved the technology of several manned moon landing projects.

Next, they will welcome the first major test of the manned moon landing project: the test run of the new rocket engine.

Before the start of the test run experiment, Xia Guo Space Administration and Xingchen Technology jointly announced the test run plan and disclosed the entire manned moon landing project plan.

When the news was announced, it quickly aroused heated discussions among people across the country and even the world.

"Xia Guo is actually going to start preparing for a manned moon landing project. This news is too sudden."

"Yes, although Xia's aerospace capabilities are developing rapidly, there is still a certain gap between manned landing on the moon. They are actually about to implement a manned moon landing project, and the goal is to do so within five years. Within a few seconds, we successfully landed on the moon. Isn’t this a bit too difficult?”

"No one in the world has the ability to land on the moon immediately, not even the United States, because they have long lost the technology of manned moon landing. But if we say who can land on the moon in the shortest time, , I think only NASA can do it.”

"But they are already preparing to start the test run of the moon landing rocket engine. This shows that the Xia National Space Administration's manned moon landing plan is not just some illusory words, but a plan that is really on the agenda."

"When this test run experiment is over, everything will be clearly seen. With the recent high-profile attitude of Xia Guo Space Agency and Xingchen Technology, it is estimated that this test run experiment will be broadcast live."

Although this announcement caused heated discussions among many people, most of them still expressed a relatively conservative attitude towards it, at least they did not feel that Xia Guo would complete this goal immediately.

But with the technical support provided by Xingchen Technology, no one dares to deny them easily. They are more of a wait-and-see attitude.

NASA learned of the news as soon as possible, and this matter has become the most concerning thing to NASA recently.

Like the Xiaguo Space Administration, NASA has always had a plan to return to the moon. However, due to technical and financial issues, this plan did not go smoothly, and a lot of work was delayed.

As a reborn person, Ning Chen knows that even five or even ten years later, NASA has not really returned to the moon. Even related unmanned launch projects have been postponed, and the implementation of manned moon landings still seems far away. Expect.

If Xia Guo can really take the lead in manned moon landing, it will undoubtedly occupy a more favorable position in the world's aerospace field.

…

On the eve of the start of the manned moon landing rocket engine test run, Ning Chen came to the location of the experiment, the Zibei Space Launch Site, to watch the rocket engine test run on site and conduct real-time analysis of various data during the experiment.

Although this was just a test run of the rocket engine, Ning Chen still valued this experiment very much.

In this test run experiment, Ning Chen needs to pay attention to the performance of multiple data including engine thrust, fuel combustion stability, environmental adaptability, safety requirements, startup and shutdown performance, etc., to comprehensively evaluate the test run performance of the rocket engine.

Only if all these data meet the standards will Ning Chen continue the project. Otherwise, Ning Chen will carefully analyze what went wrong and redesign the rocket engine.

After all, this is also a manned moon landing project. The complexity and risk of the project are very high, and Ning Chen doesn't want to leave even the slightest safety hazard in it.

On the day when the test run started, Ning Chen came to the Zibei Space Launch Site and was ready to watch the whole test run on site.

Like the previous times, Ning Chen will not stay in the control center to watch the entire experiment process. Even if all relevant data can be directly viewed in the control center for the first time, this is not what Ning Chen likes.

With the help of his powerful sensory abilities and Xiaozhi's information perception function, Ning Chen can analyze the surrounding information without using any instruments.

When the planned test start time was reached, the staff had completed all preparations and the test officially started.

This time's rocket engine test run experiment will have much more test content than normal rocket engine test runs, and the test time will also be much longer than normal.

Under the goal set by Ningchen, Ningchen will determine that the engine is safe and reliable only if the continuous test time of the engine test exceeds five times the normal working time.

With the command from the commander-in-chief, the test run of the rocket engine started on time.

Ning Chen carefully watched the scene on the test bench from a high place, and at the same time carefully analyzed various data to ensure that these data were within the ideal range.

Unknowingly, the test run had been carried out for 100 seconds, and the rocket engine still performed very stably without any stalling.

At this time, Ning Chen contacted the control center:

"Control center, I am Ning Chen. I suggest that we continue to increase the load on the engine during the next test run."

This is an option in their plan. If the engine can still perform well enough at a higher load, it will undoubtedly be a better signal for future manned moon landing projects.

Of course, this will increase the risk for this test run. After all, hundreds of millions of people around the world are paying attention to Xia Guo's rocket engine test run. It may be better to be conservative. .

However, in comparison, Ning Chen still paid more attention to the actual performance of the engine, which was the more important thing.

After just evaluating the engine's performance, Ning Chen is fully confident that it can still provide excellent performance under higher load conditions.

After receiving Ning Chen's suggestion, the control center quickly decided to adopt Ning Chen's suggestion.

"Okay, Professor Ning, let's continue to increase the load on the engine and continue the test run!"

Immediately, the staff slowly increased the load of the engine by 10% and continued to observe the performance of the engine.

At this moment, people watching the live broadcast in front of the screen cannot notice any changes, but NASA has keenly observed the difference.

"According to our estimates, the Xiaguo Space Agency has just increased the load of their engines by about ten percent. In fact, the previous load was enough to provide the power for manned landing on the moon. I don't know why they continue to increase it. The load intensity of the engine.”

"This should be to further test the performance of the engine. Although the data just met the conditions, it is just a normal situation after all. When the engine is actually working, there is indeed a small probability of encountering overload. Therefore, Such testing is still very necessary.”

"I can't imagine that they dared to directly adjust the engine load to such a high level during their first test run. If an accident occurred during the live broadcast, the consequences would be very serious. .”

Even NASA is very unbelievable about this test run by Xia Guo Space Agency. If they were to do so, they would never dare to continue to increase the load on the engine in this situation, and would not even carry out the test run. Live broadcast to prevent any accidents during the process.

However, Xia Guo Space Agency seemed to be confident in this. It was not worried that the engine would not be able to withstand the excessive load, and carried out more difficult experiments without hesitation.

As time passed by, the engine undergoing test runs still performed very stably without any abnormalities.

At this time, Ning Chen looked at the time and found that a full thousand seconds had passed since the engine test started.

One thousand seconds does not seem like much, but it is already five times the time required for normal operation of this engine, which means that the entire experiment has been a complete success.

Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's information notification function to get a detailed understanding of the current status of the engine, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ning Chen contacted the control center and explained his current thoughts.

"Control center, I am Ning Chen. This engine test run is now over. This engine has passed a comprehensive inspection."

"Okay, Professor Ning, we have the same idea as you, so let's end this test run experiment."

In fact, the staff at the control center were a little curious as to how Ning Chen was able to draw such a conclusion without viewing any data.

Indeed, as Ning Chen said, this moon landing rocket engine experiment was very successful. The engine not only withstood the ignition experiment that was much higher than the normal working time, but also withstood overload pressure.

Under such circumstances, the engine's performance in all aspects is still very good, without any obvious data fluctuations, and it is incredibly stable.

Of course, if they wish, they can continue to conduct more difficult experiments on this basis to further verify the performance of this engine.

However, since this was a test run that was broadcast live globally, Ning Chen did not want to take too big a risk, lest if something really went wrong, it would not be easy to explain in front of the public.

After the experiment, Ning Chen came to the control center and discussed in detail the test run with other staff.

What makes Ning Chen most satisfied is that the engine showed very strong stability during the test run, and the temperature of the entire superconducting circuit has been controlled within the ideal range.

According to the performance of this test run, Xia Guo Space Administration and Xingchen Technology can continue to carry out the following work, and there is no need to make too many modifications to this engine.

The progress of such a project has greatly exceeded everyone's original plan. Ning Chen is very confident that Xia people's footprints will appear on the moon in less than five years.

After the test run ended, the reporter reported the good news of the success of the test run to the viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the camera.

"According to the news from the commander-in-chief of this test run, the ignition time of this engine test exceeded one thousand seconds, which was five times longer than the normal ignition time. In the next 900 seconds, the engine load exceeded the normal load 10%, and under such circumstances, the engine operation is still very stable."

"This means that this engine test run experiment has been a complete success, and our country, Xia, has taken another step forward to achieve manned landing on the moon!"

Following the reporter's impassioned words, the audience watching the live broadcast in front of TVs, computers, and mobile phones immediately became excited.

Once upon a time, everyone only dared to dream about manned landings on the moon, and did not think that this was something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

However, the success of this engine test run increased their confidence in this matter a lot.

"I can't believe that we have now built a rocket engine that is enough to achieve manned landing on the moon. From this point of view, the previous goal of landing on the moon in five years is still too conservative. Maybe three years will be enough. Got it!"

"This engine test run does not look like the first test run at all. It looks like the last test run before the rocket is launched. The test duration and test intensity are maximized. Even so, the engine still operates like this Such stability and technical level cannot even be achieved by the current Millennium, right?"

"Our engines use completely different technologies from all the engines used by the US military to achieve manned lunar landings in the last century. With a stronger carrying capacity, the energy required by our rockets is even less than theirs. One fifth, what a great improvement!”

Suddenly, the Internet was full of discussions about the success of this rocket engine test.

Both ordinary people and relevant professionals are very excited about the success of this experiment and look forward to the day when the manned moon landing will be truly successful.
