Chapter 1012: Flying into space
There was not much thought about Europe at home, so the actions of the coalition forces were all due to the lack of personnel and politely refused to participate in the European theater, but concentrated on the Asian theater.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and in mid-May, Star City began to heat up.
On this day, the airport shielding system was all opened, and the entire factory area began to be under martial law.
In the command center of the airport tower, Xu Ziling, Nie Yunjie, Xu Haoran and other high-level officials are there.
"Will it work?" The command center was busy and nervous, and Li Cheng, who was sitting in the front row, gently touched Yang Kaiming next to him.
After half a year of busyness, space fighters and small spaceships finally appeared in front of everyone, and today is the day of test flights.
For this breakthrough of the century, everyone is excited and apprehensive.
It can't be considered successful without a test flight, but can it be successful in the end?
Even if the airport has conducted test flights of hundreds of aircraft, at this moment Yang Kaiming is not sure whether the space fighter and spacecraft will be successful, after all, these are two prototypes.
"It should work!" The words were full of hesitation.
Probably thinking that he asked Yang Kaiming in vain, Li Cheng frowned and shook his head, and pointed to Xu Ziling, who was sitting on the other side of Yang Kaiming.
Yang Kaiming was also apprehensive in his heart, and when he got Li Cheng's signal, he immediately pushed Xu Ziling on the other side.
"How?"
Xu Ziling looked at Yang Kaiming a little blankly.
"Do you think it will work?"
Xu Ziling pursed his mouth, how could his heart not succeed?
Before this, he had asked the lion to scan and simulate, if it didn't work, he would have stopped it a long time ago, how could there be today's test flight test?
However, this kind of thing is not easy to say, but even so, it does not prevent him from answering with confidence: "I promise that there is no problem." ”
On technical issues, he can always give people infinite confidence, and seeing that he was so sure, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, who came from the side, immediately put their hearts down.
"Not going to tell me about it?" Just as a few people were chatting, Nie Yunjie walked over.
No one else knows about the test flight except his own people, and the significance of this matter is too great, and he is a little worried that once he knows about it, he will have opinions.
Xu Ziling nodded, he had his considerations for this matter, otherwise he would not have activated the airport's highest shielding system today.
The success of the project is indeed significant, but there is no need to notify the above authorities in the first place.
It is the same to wait until all the tests are completed and the final results are confirmed.
"The situation in Southeast Asia has reached the most critical juncture this time, and the top is also busy, and it is the same to report after the test flight results come out."
In terms of technical matters, everything is Xu Ziling's own responsibility, seeing that he has such a plan, Nie Yunjie didn't say more, for him, this matter is only the result of saying and not saying, before the test flight and after the test flight, there is not much difference.
Several people chatted for a while, and the test flight began.
Because the space fighter adopts the layout of the FY fighter, it also has the ability to take off and land vertically, but in the first test, it did not take off vertically, but took off in a traditional sliding jump.
The spaceship, on the other hand, is a reference to the one seen at Base One, with rotating thrusters and wings like fighter planes, which doomed it to take off and land vertically.
……
Exactly four hours passed, and the test was finally completed.
In the command center, there was jubilation.
Not to mention the combat capabilities that have not yet been tested, the success of the test flight means that they have succeeded.
"We succeeded?"
"Yes, we succeeded!"
At the beginning of the project, all the staff were a little uncertain, after all, even if they were experts in astronautics, they were a little less confident in the face of spaceships, which were only seen in science fiction movies.
Until now, when I let go of my apprehension, all that was left in my heart was excitement and excitement.
Space is mysterious to human beings, how many people have said that they have entered the space age, but the most powerful thing is that the manned spacecraft stays in space for a few days, but what about now?
With spaceships, you can truly enter the space age.
And these people are the heroes who work hard to do this.
Famous through the ages? And they did.
This moment will be remembered by the world.
They will go down in history.
At this moment, in addition to excitement, the rest of their hearts were still excited.
……
Inform all the people in the project team to hold a celebration party in the evening, and the group left the airport and returned to the office area.
"When are the other tests going on?" Li Cheng wanted to pilot the spaceship by himself, and as soon as he got out of the car, he asked Xu Ziling.
Today is just a test flight, not even the atmosphere rushed out, as a spacecraft, extra-atmospheric flight is necessary, before the relevant tests are done, everything else has to be avoided, Li Cheng wants to fly it himself, then it must wait for the completion of the tests.
Xu Ziling had just discussed this matter with Zhang Lao, "I just learned about the weather conditions, and the next few days will be good, so from tomorrow, other tests will be launched, and a real space journey will be carried out within half a month." ”
"Can you play with me after all the tests are done?" Li Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Xu Ziling with hope.
And Yang Kaiming, who was next to him, listened to the conversation between the two, and he also looked forward to it.
In fact, not to mention the two of them, even Xu Ziling himself had already thought of such a thing.
The world's first spaceship, who doesn't want to play around?
smiled and nodded, "I want to do it myself, don't worry, after making sure that the spaceship is okay, the three of us will take turns to play, and when the three of us slip away, we will go to space to have a look." ”
Half a month later, the spacecraft completed all the test items, including outer space flight, and when they got the news, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng, who took the security personnel for field training, rushed back as soon as possible.
"How? Let's try it? As soon as he came to the office, Li Chengcheng said to Xu Ziling eagerly.
Due to the fact that there is a certain difference between the piloting of the spaceship and the fighter, all the simulated cockpits have been made in the laboratory as early as before the spaceship is available, in order to be able to drive the spaceship, in the past half a month, Yang Kaiming and several of them have basically been soaked in it, and there are not too many problems in piloting the spaceship at this time.
Xu Ziling was also itching in his heart, arranged the things in his hand, and called the two to the airport warehouse without saying a word.
Fuel is loaded, pre-takeoff checked, and the spacecraft is out of storage......
There are two types of fuel for spacecraft, one is aviation fuel and the other is solar energy, which is used when it is in the atmosphere, and solar energy when it is in outer space.
Compared to the fighter, the spaceship takes more time to load fuel, and by the time it is ready to take off, more than half an hour has passed.
