Chapter 449: A Historic Moment

Lu Yang's reaction to everyone is not surprising, every data of Space One is a record, and every technology is enough to shock the world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"After today, the cost of human access to space will be greatly reduced, and in the next three to five years, space travel for ordinary people will not be a dream!" Lu Yang said loudly.

"Space travel?" Elon Musk was shocked, isn't this the purpose of his founding of SpaceX, but now this dream is going to come true, Elon has infinite regret in his heart, because it is not himself who realizes it, but the Chinese people.

Lu Yang briefly introduced the situation of Space One, and during this time, Wang Cheng and the others were adjusting their mentality. After a month of training, they are no strangers to the operation of Space One, and now mentality is more important than technology.

"Number 1 is ready!" At 10:50, Wang Cheng reported to the command center.

"No. 2 is ready!" Chen Yusong reports.

"Number 3 is ready!" Gao Xiaobin reported.

……

"Ready for the 18th!" Pang Hai report.

Lu Yang took a look at the main engine of the command center, and after the final inspection, Pangu confirmed that all 18 units on Space One were normal and could take off.

"President, everything is normal with Space One and it can take off on time." Lu Yang said to the president.

The first flight of Space 1 was not presided over by Lu Yang, but by the president, so the official flight required an order from the president.

The president looked around with some excitement, and at this time everyone had the same expectation in their eyes, and on the big screen in the command center, the huge figure of Space One seemed to be about to be launched.

"I order, at 11 o'clock, Space One will start the flight program!" The president's calm voice rang out.

"Space One has received the order, now start the countdown!" Captain Wang Cheng said calmly.

“10,9,8,7…… 3,2,1! ”

When the countdown reached zero, Wang Guoguo pressed the start button, and everyone seemed to be able to feel the vibration of the moment Space One was activated.

On the 9,200-meter-long airport, the white Space 1 is moving eastward, and the Chinese flag on the wings is unusually eye-catching. In the command center, everyone saw blue flames spewing out from the tail end of Space One, and even during the day, the flames were extremely clear.

Space-1 began to accelerate, and after ten seconds, the speed of Space-1 exceeded Mach 1, forming a sound barrier, and in everyone's gaze, its huge fuselage left the ground, 15 seconds, the speed exceeded Mach 2, and in 20 seconds, the speed reached Mach 3......

"The acceleration is too fast, and the astronauts above don't have any protection...... Elon Musk's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He's an expert in astronautics, and it's easy to spot places that others overlook. Within thirty seconds of starting, Elon saw that the speed of Space One displayed on the big screen had exceeded Mach 5, and inside Space One, Wang Cheng and they were just sitting in their chairs relaxedly, without a little feeling of oppression, which was too weird!

Elsewhere on Penglai Island, at least 300,000 people were watching the flight with telescopes, and in some places with good visibility, everyone saw a white figure streak across the sky, heading towards the east, and the figure flew higher and higher, and it was out of sight in less than a minute.

"It's really flying, it's so fast!" Countless people have shared their own photos online.

"Report to the command center, everything is normal at the moment!" Five minutes later, Wang Cheng reported the first message to the command center, and by this time, the speed of Space-1 had reached Mach 15.

Lu Yang took over the command authority and said to Wang Cheng: "Five minutes later, the last self-test before entering space will be carried out, and all the data will be recorded in detail." ”

"Yes!"

The neutrino satellite at an altitude of several hundred kilometers records the position of Space 1 at all times, and the data of Space 1 is also transmitted to the command center in real time. No matter how bad the weather is, Lu Yang doesn't have to worry about losing contact with Space One.

After Lu Yang gave the order, everyone knew that this was the most critical moment for the test flight, and it was also the most anticipated moment, because Space One was about to break free from the gravitational pull of the earth and carry 100 people into space!

Before entering space, Space-1 will also conduct a final self-test, which is completed by Pangu and 100 astronauts, and is expected to take half an hour.

Time passed unconsciously, there was no sound in the command center, everyone watched Wang Cheng and them carry out their work in an orderly manner through the big screen, everyone held their breath, and even the stars were stunned.

At 11:43, Wang Cheng took a deep breath and said: "Report to the command center, the self-inspection of Space One is complete, everything is normal, request the next instruction!" ”

Lu Yang smiled and said loudly: "Order Space One to adjust itself and enter space in 10 minutes!" ”

Finally, the order was given, and Space-1 made a second acceleration, and within 5 minutes, Space-1 reached a speed of Mach 20, which is very close to the first cosmic velocity. As long as its speed exceeds the speed of the first universe, Space-1 will be able to break free from the Earth's gravity and enter space, realizing its value as an aerospace aircraft.

The space-1 flight was covered by television stations around the world, and it was seen on six continents except Antarctica. At this time, more than 3 billion people around the world are watching the flight, and after Lu Yang gave the final order, the number rose sharply.

"Are you really going into space?" In the White House, Hillani and a group of senior officials of the United States watched the report together, and their feelings were very complicated.

In Fuso, England, Germany, France...... Regardless of whether it was day or night, their national leaders watched the flight without exception.

Space-1 flies at an altitude of 80 kilometers above the ground, which is already far beyond the limits of ordinary vehicles. At this altitude, the density of air is only 1% of the Earth's surface, and Space One is completely unable to fly on air.

At 11:53, Wang Cheng accelerated Space One to Mach 25 according to Lu Yang's order, which has exceeded the first cosmic speed, and it also means that the Earth's gravity can no longer restrain Space One, and Space One flies towards outer space.

"It worked!" When Space 1 broke away from the gravitational pull of the earth, countless people burst into tears of excitement, and Penglai Island fell into a carnival.

"Report to the command center, Space One has entered outer space, and everything is normal at the moment!" Wang Cheng sent a message back from 500 kilometers away.

"This is a historic moment!" Huaxia National Television.

"This is a historic moment!" ABC TV in the United States.

"This is a historic moment!" EuroSky.

"This is a historic moment!" Fuso NHK TV. (To be continued.) )
