Chapter 448: A high-level banquet
"Huaxia is replacing the United States in all directions and becoming a new superpower!" The Times commented on this, saying that the significance of the test flight of the aerospace plane is not limited to astronautics. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Human beings are born with fantasies about the universe, and every progress in human exploration of space is worthy of enthusiastic applause. From the former Soviet Union's manned spaceflight, to the moon landing in the United States, and now to the test flight of China's aerospace aircraft, in less than 100 years, mankind's exploration of space has become deeper and deeper. The aerospace industry is a symbol of a great power, and the test flight of the aerospace aircraft will undoubtedly establish China's status as a superpower. ”
The West has intensively reported on the development of China's aerospace industry, and it is only at this time that many Westerners discover that China has developed to this extent.
In the impression of many Westerners, Huaxia is still just a country with rapid economic development and domestic residents struggling with poverty, they are still very backward in technology, and the most they do is to copy the West. This impression stems from the arrogance of Westerners, but the advent of aerospace aircraft has shattered this arrogance.
The day before the test flight of Space 1, all the invited guests arrived, and Lu Yang held a grand banquet at the Penglai Convention Center to express his welcome to the guests. This banquet can be said to be the most high-end banquet ever, there are four heads of state alone, dignitaries from various countries, world-class billionaires, and countless international celebrities.
As the host, Lu Yang's family of four attended, and of course Lingling was held by Zhu Xiaotong.
"Ptsar, you're very welcome!" Lu Yang chatted with the Tsar for a few minutes at the banquet.
The Pu Tsar is not a little arrogant in the face of Lu Yang, in terms of identity, the Pu Tsar is definitely higher than Lu Yang, but in the exchange, he always puts Lu Yang on an equal footing with himself.
During the conversation, Tsar Pte expressed his willingness to cooperate and hoped that Lu Yang would invest in Russia. In this regard, Lu Yang did not refuse. It is not realistic for Lu Yang to invest abroad, and all his funds have been invested on Penglai Island, but technical cooperation can be considered. Besides, a few years ago, Lu Yang also cheated the Tsar, and he was still a little ashamed in his heart.
Lu Yang also had a long talk with Hussein, the president of Pakistan Railway, as an angry young man in China, his impression of Pakistan Railway is still good, after all, the other party is one of the few hardcore allies in China, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only one in many cases.
Under the mediation of President Huaxia, Lu Yang agreed to cooperate with Pakistan and Railway in aerospace, which is actually to support the other party, including exporting some technology to them, launching satellites, training astronauts, and so on.
Needless to say, Salman is Lu Yang's old friend, and he came in person this time, which can be regarded as giving Lu Yang a great face, after all, the relationship between Shat and Mi Guo is there.
The first flight of Space One was at 11 a.m., and the weather on Penglai Island was not good on the day of the test flight, although it did not rain, but the clouds were thick. For ordinary rockets, this kind of weather is absolutely not allowed to launch, but for aerospace aircraft, such an environment has no effect.
At the space base, Lu Yang and a group of guests arrived, and the big screen in the base clearly showed the appearance and internal facilities of Space One.
At 10 o'clock, Wang Cheng boarded the plane with 100 astronauts, and with the help of Pangu, they began the most pre-flight inspection.
"Lu Yang, is there really no problem?" The president asked quietly.
Lu Yang looked at the big screen and replied in a low voice: "There is absolutely no problem!" ”
The president's face was a little lighter, as the head of Huaxia, there was not much to worry about him, but this time it was different. At this time, I don't know how many people in the world are paying attention to the flight of Space One, and Huaxia has all arrived at the top level of the Council of Elders for this flight.
The president and Lu Yang stood at the front of the line, the prime minister and other elders were a little behind with the Tsar Pu, and as for the rich and celebrities who were the focus of attention wherever they went on weekdays, they could only stand at the back of the line at this time.
"Daddy!" Lu Yang suddenly heard the sound of the stars, and when he looked back, Feng Hai walked over with him in his arms.
Lu Yang took his son over: "Why are you here, mother?" ”
"My mother and sister are at home, and I want to see the flight of Space One, so I asked Uncle Feng to bring me here." Xingxing said this, and his eyes were already attracted by Space One on the big screen.
The arrival of the stars attracted the attention of many people in the front row, including the president, the P.Tsar. In the eyes of many people, Xing Xing is definitely Lu Yang's successor, and with the title of the smartest human being, he is likely to surpass his father in his future achievements.
At 10:30, Wang Cheng and the others completed the final inspection, and the results showed that everything was normal, which made the president and prime minister next to them feel a lot more relieved.
"In half an hour, Space One will take off, and I'm very happy to witness this meaningful moment with you!" Lu Yang turned his head and said loudly, his voice echoing through the base's control center.
"Everyone must be curious about Space One, and here, I can briefly introduce it. Space One is an aerospace aircraft manufactured by Penglai Island Robotics Company, all the manufacturing is done by robots, and even the design is realized by artificial intelligence! ”
Everyone didn't expect that Lu Yang actually dropped another bomb before the test flight. An aerospace plane made 100% robotic, is this possible?
"There is no need to wonder that the development of science and technology is always beyond people's expectations." Lu Yang smiled and shrugged, "Space One is 328 meters long, 68 meters high, has a maximum take-off weight of 2,000 tons, and is capable of transporting 1,700 tons of materials for moon-to-earth flights. If you look at its big size, you will know that the transportation capacity of Space One is absolutely outstanding! ”
The command center was in an uproar again, before the space one out of the workshop was photographed by satellites, everyone is no stranger to its appearance data, but it is not yet known about its load capacity. In the speculation of the outside world, the payload of Space One should exceed 300 tons, and the most daring guess that this figure will not exceed 500 tons. According to the analysis of many aviation experts, the reason why Space One is so large is because it requires a huge amount of fuel.
Whatever the basis for the analysis of those experts, the payload of 1,700 tons is unacceptable to those who have the greatest expectations for Space One. That's 1,700 tons, assuming a person is 100 kilograms, then Space-1 can easily send 17,000 people to the moon and then transport them back, which is too dreamy and exaggerated!
"Is humanity really going to enter the era of 10,000 people flying in space?" (To be continued.) )
