The rocket launch tower is fifty meters high, and the current rocket is only twenty-four meters high, which is less than half the height.

Compared to the huge launch frame, this rocket is very small, but when you see this rocket from the TV lens, the rocket expert in the know is shocked.

Generally speaking, rocket technology has also developed gradually from small to large, and the rockets of the United States and the Soviet Union almost all started on the basis of the German V-2 missile, which is only a dozen meters long, and the most widespread in the world, that is, the Scud missile, is only 11 meters long. In later generations, in the process of developing ballistic missiles in Pakistan, the development of the Shaheen-class ballistic missile, which had gone through hardships, was only more than six meters long!

And now, the first rocket shown by Pakistan is actually a ballistic missile, which is actually more than 20 meters high! This time you have to cross several thresholds! This will definitely not be developed immediately, at least after several years of hard work, it seems that Pakistan has already begun to develop ballistic missiles!

Ballistic missiles, and nuclear weapons go hand in hand, if there is no nuclear warhead, ballistic missiles lose their meaning, even if the Americans think so in their hearts now, on the surface it is helpless, after all, the Pakistanis are talking about rockets, not ballistic missiles!

However, I have never seen it before, and now I am going to conduct the first test launch, and I don't know what the result will be? Maybe it will blow up on the launch pad! With the attitude of watching jokes, the Americans watched this Pakistani rocket test flight with a cold eye.

The staff wearing chemical protective suits are working nervously, this is a liquid rocket, which needs to be refueled, and the fuel for this missile is nitric acid and metadimethyl.

Nitric acid is used as an oxidant, and metadimethyl is used as fuel. Among them, metadimethyl is very flammable. It is a rocket engine fuel with high specific impulse. Compared with the more advanced liquid oxygen kerosene engine, its advantage is that it does not need to be stored at low temperatures, and conventional storage is OK, and its disadvantages. That's poison!

This fuel is easily absorbed through the skin, making the human body carcinogenic, and in the process of preparation, it is also very toxic, and the by-products are also toxic, so in later generations, it is gradually eliminated.

And now. Pakistan has no choice but to use this fuel as fuel for rocket engines, and production lines for these fuels have already been established.

Compliance with strict scientific procedures, production, storage and use, and acting in a scientific manner can completely reduce the danger to a minimum.

A staff member who is tightly covered. The first Pakistani-made rocket was refueled through a pipeline on the launch tower. At the same time, preparations for the launch are also being carried out intensively.

This launch test is a battle for strength, and it can only succeed, and it must not fail!

In the launch hall, rocket specialists from Pakistan. Dr. Samar Mubarakmud is meticulously looking at the data on the big screen.

Now the operation hall is still somewhat empty, after all, this space base in Pakistan has just been built, and the test launch of such a ballistic missile. In fact, it is quite simple, no special preparation is required, according to the operating regulations of the Huaxia side, a launch vehicle can be done.

Pakistan's test launch is to grasp more data, so they are meticulous and operate in strict accordance with the procedures for launching carrier rockets.

The countdown was in full swing, and when the order to ignite finally came, Samar's hand pressed on the red button.

The four nozzles of the engine at the bottom of the standing rocket, suddenly emitted a puff of white smoke, which was the trace of nitric acid beginning to volatilize, and then, a large stream of flames appeared, and the entire launch pad began to tremble, and then, the rocket slowly left the launch pad and began to rise.

Launch! The sky is the stage for rockets!

"Launch successful!" As the rocket left the launch pad, the entire hall was filled with jubilation.

On the screen, a bright line began to appear, and it was the radar of the base that began to track the ascent of this rocket.

In space, an early alert satellite, the camera is also aimed here, which is part of the success of Star Wars in the United States, an early warning of ballistic missiles! Observation data from afar, through this satellite, flew to the United States.

The rocket, after continuing to rise, passing through the dense layers of the atmosphere, began to turn to the east.

The speed did not reach the first cosmic velocity, only 4 kilometers per second! The early warning satellites of the United States are constantly monitoring the data of this launch vehicle. This rocket does not have the ability to launch satellites, and judging from the current analysis, it is still okay as a medium-range ballistic missile that can hit three or four thousand kilometers.

It's just that now it's to the east, and it's already on top of India's head, which makes the Americans even more depressed, if it falls, will the Pakistanis say that the launch failed?

After the engine burned for three minutes, the fuel was exhausted, the warhead at the top detached from the projectile behind it, the projectile fell downward, burned up in the atmosphere, and the warhead continued to fly forward.

Bay of Bengal.

A large ship is floating on the sea, the front stabilizer fins have been raised, the ship is not shaking very much, and the top of this ship has a large caliber radar antenna.

This is Huaxia's Yuanwang-2 space survey ship, which sailed to the Bay of Bengal this time to track and locate Pakistan's space launch.

At the same time, not far from the ship, there are also Pakistani naval formations, including Pakistan's aircraft carrier Endeavour, at this time, on the deck of the aircraft carrier, two helicopters are maintaining a posture ready to take off at any time, waiting for the order to come.

Pakistan has a limited land area, and this "launch vehicle" now needs to be tested for the longest range, so it will fly all the way over the top of India and fall into the Bay of Bengal, just under 4,000 kilometers.

Anyway, there is no concept of territorial space in outer space, and it is shared by all countries.

The technicians on the Yuanwang 2 survey ship were working nervously, and the target in outer space was getting closer and closer.

"The target has re-entered the atmosphere."

"The target crossed the ionosphere and the signal was restored."

"The target is about to fall into the predetermined sea area, and the error is expected to be within 200 meters!"

As the information came up one by one, even the person in charge of the survey ship was shocked, he knew the inside story, this carrier rocket was actually an imitation of Huaxia's Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile, how could it have such high accuracy?

You must know that the prototype Dongfeng-3 has a circumferential error of about 1,500 meters to 2,000 meters!

Ballistic missiles are different from cruise missiles, cruise missiles have terrain matching, there is terminal correction, and later there is a GPS, the accuracy is quite high, up to the order of meters, and ballistic missiles, just follow a ballistic flight, when the rocket engine ignition is completed, after the warhead is shot out, the ballistic characteristics have been fixed, due to the influence of other aspects, the accuracy will not be very high, and Pakistan's ballistic missiles, although they were born in China, the accuracy is already quite high, needless to say, Pakistan has only learned the technology of the missile body, inertial navigation and other equipment, and it must have been developed by Pakistan itself.

An E-2 AWACS aircraft also captured the ballistic characteristics of this target, and two Sea Hawk helicopters had already taken off from the deck of the aircraft carrier and flew quickly towards the splash zone.

This is just a test flight, and the warhead is not loaded with a missile, but a black box that records the entire flight data, and this warhead must be salvaged in order to be able to analyze more data and make Pakistan's test flight a success.

A medium-range ballistic missile, after re-entering the atmosphere, with a speed of more than Mach 10, is not at all intercepted by any air defense system, it is a sharp spear!

The warhead falls from the sky almost vertically, and when it is about to approach the sea, the black box in the warhead that records data is ejected, and the warhead will sink into the water, and this black box will float on the water.

The moment it touched the surface of the sea, the dye in the warhead began to scatter, and the sea water here was dyed a scarlet color.

"Discover the target." The helicopter pilot followed the direction of the guide, and soon found the red-stained sea, and then, a salvage crew, tied a cable, got off the helicopter, entered the sea, and soon got the black box.

The whole launch process was successfully completed!

"Today, we launched Pakistan's first sounding rocket, this rocket flew more than 3,000 kilometers, and successfully completed our various test work, we will improve on the basis of this sounding rocket, continue to increase thrust, we will after about five flight tests, we will Pakistan's own first sounding satellite, really launch into space orbit, we Pakistan, will also become the world's space power!" That evening, Pakistan's press spokesman delivered the speech in front of a television set.

When the United States and the Soviet Union were in the Cold War, the Soviet Union first launched artificial satellites and first sent people into space, which dealt a great blow to the self-confidence of the Americans.

Now the same is true, Pakistan's space exploration is worthy of the pride of the entire Pakistani people, and it is a symbol of great power!

And this launch, in the eyes of the insider, is not like this, is this a launch satellite? This is clearly a ballistic missile test launch! Pakistan is already secretly developing its own ballistic missile project! Exploring space? It's just an excuse! (To be continued......)
