Chapter 310: This Satellite Lost Contact
And looking at the way Hu Shucheng talked to me about this just now, it was obvious that he was quite confident in this design.
It seems that Hu Shucheng was probably worried that presenting his design in public might embarrass Xu You.
"Old Hu, you're not telling me this in private because you're worried that I'll lose face, are you?"
Xu You's words touched the heart, and Hu Shucheng smiled embarrassedly and scratched his empty scalp.
"Hey, it's better to talk about this kind of thing in private. You're here to guide our work, so I have to help you maintain your reputation."
Xu You didn't care about things like "face", but he was still very touched that Hu Shucheng could put himself in his shoes and consider him.
"It's okay. Next time we can just communicate directly at the meeting. This way it will be more efficient. I'm not a saint. It's impossible for me to think of everything perfectly. It all depends on our joint efforts."
"Yes, I understand."
In the following period, Xu You and Hu Shucheng further optimized the designs based on the specific properties of the new flexible material.
The entire design plan is mainly based on Hu Shucheng's design drawings.
Xu You did not feel frustrated because of this. Instead, he learned a lot from Hu Shucheng and was happy for Hu Shucheng's growth.
With outstanding young astronauts like Hu Shucheng, why should we worry that China's aerospace industry will not develop rapidly?
A few days later, the research team gathered again to discuss the project.
When it was Xu You's turn to speak, he talked about his latest progress.
"We have already designed basic solutions for flexible power transmission technology, modular flexible solar cell module technology, flexible substrate technology, flexible deployment mechanism technology and other technologies. Let's discuss these solutions together and if possible, we can move on to the experimental stage."
Hearing Xu You's words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
"Professor Xu, have you completed the design of the entire plan?" Lu Zhenhe asked in surprise.
"To be precise, it was Engineer Hu Shucheng who completed the design of the main plan. I just helped a little. Engineer Hu, please tell us about the ideas behind these design plans."
"Okay, Professor Xu."
As he spoke, Hu Shucheng took over Xu You's words and began to explain these design plans.
People at Suzhou Satellite Launch Center are all familiar with Hu Shucheng and know that he is the best among the young generation of aerospace personnel.
Many of the experts from other aerospace institutes did not know Hu Shucheng. They could not have imagined that these designs could come from such a young man.
After listening to Hu Shucheng's explanation , everyone was very satisfied with the designs.
"Yes, this design is very consistent with the properties of new flexible electronic materials, and also meets our needs for the next generation of satellites. I think we can prepare for the next experiment."
At this time, Su Yiguo said:
"You experts may not know much about Mr. Hu. Let me mention here that Mr. Hu and Professor Xu were from the same high school and the same class. At that time, Mr. Hu also participated in the National Physics Competition, but unfortunately he missed the qualification for admission to Jingbei University by one place. But it was for this reason that Mr. Hu chose Jihang University and eventually became an excellent aerospace person. This may be the arrangement of fate."
Listening to Su Yiguo's explanation, everyone felt that this experience was very wonderful.
As the saying goes, "A blessing in disguise ", temporary gains and losses are not decisive.
Xu You felt that if Hu Shucheng had really been admitted to the Physics Department of Ji University at that time, he would definitely not have achieved the success he has today.
Sometimes, the direction you choose is far more important than how hard you work.
After this, the project officially entered the experimental stage.
Under Xu You's guidance, the research and development of various technologies are proceeding in an orderly manner.
If nothing goes wrong, once all the technologies have passed the test, Xu You will be able to return to Ji University and complete this temporary mission.
Just at this moment.
The launch center suddenly received a new message.
"What? A Soviet satellite suddenly lost contact and is in danger of falling to the surface?"
After learning the news, Commander-in-Chief Yang Wu was also very shocked.
This kind of thing hasn't happened for many years.
"Yes, Mr. Yang, please ask all aerospace systems to immediately use their resources to conduct real-time monitoring to ensure that China will not be affected by this incident."
Immediately, Yang Wu informed all the staff of Suzhou Satellite Launch Center of the news.
After receiving the news, everyone immediately became alert and began using the resources of the launch center to search for the Soviet satellite that had lost contact.
In fact, when receiving this news for the first time, many people will think about what the cause of this incident is.
However, at this critical moment, testing the satellite is the most important task.
They must put aside their curiosity for the moment, as this is a matter of national and world security.
After hearing the news, Xu You and Hu Shucheng were both worried.
Because of the division of labor, the two did not need to carry out the task of searching for the satellite.
But at this time, they also followed everyone and paid attention to the development of this incident.
"Normally, even if the satellite really falls, it won't be a big problem. After entering the atmosphere, the satellite will rub against the atmosphere, and many parts will burn to ashes or even burn up directly. Even if it really falls to the surface, since most of the surface is uninhabited, the possibility of causing harm to humans is minimal."
Based on his own experience, Hu Shucheng analyzed the impact of satellite crashes on humans.
"According to estimates from probability, the probability of a satellite falling and hitting someone is only one in a few thousand. But this is still a high probability. If the satellite lands in a densely populated area, we must take action immediately."
For some reason, Xu You felt a little nervous.
Many extremely small probability events with lower probability than this will also occur.
Xu You only hopes that we can discover this satellite earlier and calculate its trajectory.
At this time, I heard a staff member say:
"We have detected this satellite!"
Hearing this, everyone focused their attention.
"According to our analysis of the satellite's trajectory, the satellite is out of control and is moving centripetally around the center of the earth. Its trajectory is relatively complex and it is difficult to predict its future trajectory for the time being."
