Chapter 417: Invitation to Jiuquan Base (Second Update, Asking for a Two-Month Pass)
"Mr. Chen, it's me, Qiao Ting. ”
Chen Xin frowned slightly and asked, "Qiao Ting, what's the matter?"
The last time the Dream flew test, he took Qiao Ting and Ling Wei back to the capital from Mogadishu, Qiao Ting was nowhere to be seen, he thought that his liaison officer had been summoned back by the military intelligence department, but he didn't expect to contact him again now.
Qiao Ting said: "Mr. Chen, I know you are in Jiangcheng, are you free tomorrow? If you have time, we would like to invite you to go to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center tomorrow to observe the launch of Shenzhou 9." Now the launch time is tentatively scheduled for 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow, and you can fly the Dream Aerospace Plane to Jiuquan, or you can take our Air Force business plane to go there. ”
Chen Xin said: "Okay, then I'll take the Dream to go over! You can help me apply for a route." ”
Qiao Ting said: "Okay, then I'll see you then." ”
"See you then!"
Hanging up the phone, Chen Xin smiled, knowing that Qiao Ting's call might not be so simple.
China's Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft was supposed to be launched in mid-June, and this mission was supposed to conduct a manual rendezvous and docking test with the Sky-1 small space station.
However, because of the sudden test flight of the Dream space aircraft and the later repair of the Forbes-Soil probe, all the attention of the Chinese aerospace community shifted to these two projects, and the Shenjiu plan had to be postponed again and again.
Now that the most difficult phase of the Forbes-Soil Mars exploration program has passed, the Dream space plane has been studied several times by Chinese aerospace experts. The launch of Shenzhou-9 is also on the agenda.
Qiao Ting's call also came just in time, the matter of the Longshou Mountain underground base has just come to an end, and some new equipment only needs to be built by Walli according to the plan of the steel hammer, and Chen Xin does not need to keep an eye on it all the time, he just has time to go to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to take a look at China's manned space program, and by the way, also explore the bottom of China's aerospace industry.
The focus of Chen Xinhe's future development is still based on space, especially the space elevator plan, which requires huge funds and huge resources to promote. Only a country like China, with its huge population and a wide range of industries, is the best partner for him.
Chen Xin was not afraid that the Chinese government would not agree to cooperate with the war. Who built the first space elevator first. Almost the same as winning a ticket to colonize outer space, the temptation is not something that anyone can resist.
There are thousands of resources in the solar system, and the value of any asteroid contained in it is probably enough to be worth the entire South China Sea. And there are no constraints from the surrounding small countries. For China, a country with a population of 1.4 billion. This is almost the perfect time to restore the glory of Greater China in its former glory.
……
Early the next morning, Chen Xin drove to the Gaoqiao Military Airport in Jiangcheng City, where the Chinese Government has granted special approval to provide the "Dream" with the Nanyuan Airport and the Gaoqiao Airport in Jiangcheng. Each flight also requires a route request just like a private jet.
In order to maintain the need for secrecy, the staff of Gaoqiao Airport were all changed by the military, and all of them came from secret-related units, and they could only continue to work after taking turns to train.
At first, these people were a little strange, Gaoqiao Airport itself was not a classified airport, in 2000 it was still used as a dual-use airport, until Jiangcheng International Airport was put into operation, Gaoqiao Airport was handed over to the military again.
Later, the military stationed JH-7 Flying Leopard fighters of a regiment of the HNA at Gaoqiao Airport, and the citizens of Jiangcheng could see these fighter-bombers in the sky over Jiangcheng almost every day for flight training.
However, half a month ago, this Flying Leopard Regiment was withdrawn and deployed to other bases, and all the staff members of Gaoqiao Airport were also replaced, and the new recruits were all soldiers who had previously worked in some other units with a higher level of secrecy.
Before coming to Gaoqiao Airport, they never expected that after the month-long confidential training, they were finally transferred to Gaoqiao Airport, which had long been known to the outside world.
This made them a little stunned.
However, the strict secrecy system of Takahashi Airport also surprised them: secrets that should not be told are not told. Don't ask for secrets that shouldn't be asked. Don't look at the secrets that shouldn't be seen. Don't bring the secrets you shouldn't bring. Do not involve secrecy in private correspondence. Do not record secrets in a non-confidential book. Deliver secrets without e-mail. Do not read or talk about secrets in non-confidential places. Do not copy, preserve or destroy secrets without permission. Do not bring secret carriers to visit relatives, friends, and travel.
These most basic principles of secrecy are strictly enforced, and even one's original origin cannot be clearly stated.
Their personal communication equipment was also handed over to them, and instead they were given intelligent mobile terminals issued by their superiors, and inside the base, they could only access the army's intranet, strictly isolated from the outside world.
In addition, on the second day after they took up their posts at the Gaoqiao base, the area around the base of five kilometers was completely divided into a military restricted area.
As a result, these soldiers had some expectations for the next work in the new unit, but time passed, and except for the occasional Air Force plane that would take off and land at Gaoqiao Airport, there was nothing else related to the secret-related units.
It wasn't until half a month ago, when they saw the mysterious aircraft that had been circulating on the Internet for a long time slowly landing at Takahashi Airport, that they realized how important their responsibilities were.
Chen Xin drove the white Passat off the highway and onto a special road to Gaoqiao Airport, where he encountered a checkpoint about five kilometers away.
However, his car had already been replaced with a license plate from the Jiangnan Military Region Headquarters, and for the sake of convenience, the military also specially pressed Chen Xin's identity as a colonel officer.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xin was too young, I'm afraid it wouldn't be strange to give a general title.
Chen Xin took off his sunglasses and handed his ID to the PLA soldier who was inspecting, and the lieutenant in charge of the inspection entered Chen Xin's ID number on the computer and compared it with Chen Xin's face, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stood up and saluted: "Good chief!"
The blocking lever slowly raised, Chen Xin stepped on the accelerator, and the Passat continued on the road.
Next, Chen Xin encountered three more sentry posts, and the inspection was stricter than the other, until the inside of the airport, it stopped.
Chen Xin drove the Passat directly onto the runway, and before coming, he made a phone call to the person in charge of the airport, and the ground crew slowly towed the Dream to the take-off end of the runway.
Chen Xin got out of the car, and the commander of the base, Senior Colonel Zhang Yuan, had been waiting for a long time.
He came from the Second Department of the General Staff Department, and Peng Guochen specially sent him over to cooperate with Chen Xin's work.
Therefore, when he saw Chen Xin, he was not too curious, and came over with a smile to shake hands with Chen Xin and said, "Mr. Chen, the Dream is ready to take off, and you can use it at any time." ”
Chen Xin smiled: "Lao Zhang, thank you very much, by the way, this Passat will be parked in the base first!"
Zhang Yuan smiled: "Okay, I'll ask those guys who shout every day that they have nothing to do to take good care of this car, and Mr. Chen, you can use it when you come back." ”
Chen Xin smiled slightly, didn't say much, and got on the plane directly.
This Passat also has a Passat shell, the interior has long been changed beyond recognition by the steel hammer, especially after the first batch of metal batteries were produced, the steel hammer has been electrified to it, the fastest speed is up to 450 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 1.2 seconds.
The Dream began the final inspection before takeoff, and the rudder surface of each part rotated many times, and after a qiē was normal, Chen Xincai gave an order to the intelligent AI of the Dream: "Dream takes off!"
Soon, the tail of the Dream erupted with high-temperature and high-speed blue flames, and the huge plane slowly started and began to glide at high speed on the runway.
In just a dozen seconds, the Dream lifted the nose lightly and pierced into the blue sky. (To be continued......)
PS: The monthly pass is falling behind more and more, and the bi-monthly pass time is rising very quickly
