Chapter 183: A Flying Machine That Enough to Change the History of Human Spaceflight!

Tang Chao really didn't expect that these reporters had done their homework.

Without any directional prompts, they did not only the homework on the rocket, but also on the single-stage orbital vehicle.

Yes, in addition to writing fake news, these journalists are not useless.

However, there are not many journalists who can do this, so he has to explain again.

"Please be quiet, our press conference has just begun!"

Tang Chao said into the microphone.

Only then did the reporters react, the main owner is here, and they are guessing something.

Ask the Lord!

"Mr. Tang Chao, may I ask what is that flying machine in the factory?"

"Captain Tang, can you answer our question? Is that a single-stage orbital vehicle? ”

"What kind of engine does it use?"

"Mr. Tang, doesn't that aircraft need rocket assistance?"

"Tang Chaosang, please ......"

Good guys, are the reporters' mouths all rented in a hurry?

For a moment, Tang Chao only felt that his brain was buzzing, or Chen Jing was experienced, and pressed a button on the microphone with a cold face.

"Squeak—"

A loud screeching noise rang out, instantly suppressing the noise of the reporters.

"Be quiet, if you make any more noise, you will be disqualified from asking questions!"

At this sound, the reporters instantly fell silent, and for reporters, the right to interview is an important group.

Otherwise, for the same thing, others can write their own names when they write reports and articles, and reporters who do not have the right to interview can only "reprint" the articles and reports of other reporters.

If the event is big enough, you might even lose your job because of it.

Sure enough, Tang Chao has to continue to learn about dealing with reporters, but the next thing is professional, which is his home field.

After gaining knowledge of aerospace, controlled nuclear fusion, and nanorobotics, he grew more and more confident.

"Okay, our press conference has officially begun, and everyone has seen that this aircraft is called 'Dart X', which is just a verification machine, and it doesn't even have an official name, but since I can boldly call it 'Terminator of manned rockets', then it must be qualified."

Tang Chao's tone was not hurried, especially when he stood in front of the aircraft, blocking the cockpit windshield of the aircraft, with the support of the "Dart X" aircraft, and his aura was extremely powerful.

"Hehe," Tang Chao said with a smile: "Originally, we were going to put up a big screen, but I thought that watching virtual modeling would definitely not be as good as watching a physical aircraft, so we didn't have a detailed demonstration this time, and all the information was only dictated by me." ”

"And this flying machine behind me."

"Of course, in order to make it enjoyable for you to watch, there is enough material when writing the report, so I will specifically point out the introduction at the beginning."

After speaking, he suddenly stood up and walked to the factory, talking as he walked.

"Come with me, but pay attention to order, or you will be disqualified from interviewing."

He's learning and selling.

After listening to this, the reporters came up in surprise, but with the two warnings of Chen Jing and Tang Chao, they didn't dare to make a mistake, after all, the navigator company is not a small company.

In addition, if this aircraft is really so magical, it is the "terminator of manned rockets", it is conceivable that the Navigator company will immediately become the world's number one private space company.

And even in the field of manned astronautics, they will become worthy kings of the world!

When the reporters came to the factory and stood next to the aircraft, they really felt shocked!

Not only did they feel shocked, but also those viewers who watched the live broadcast!

From the moment the door opened, the shock began, and as it approached, with Tang Chao's introduction, it became more and more shocking!

Live streaming is already a very common thing.

As soon as the article came out, the eyes of the world focused on the Navigator company, and when I heard that some media would broadcast it live, of course they would gather around to watch it

"I thought about it a long time ago, it must be an SSTO aircraft, otherwise the Navigator company would not have published that article."

"Niu Pi, shock, the moment the door opened, I thought I had come to the future!"

"Tearful eyes, Tianxia's spacecraft design is finally sci-fi! This sense of design is so cool! ”

"Tearful fart, Ye Qingjie, Tianxia's spacecraft is actually science fiction, how can this maintain combat effectiveness?"

"It is 25 meters long, with a wingspan of 20 meters, plus the landing gear is 8 meters high, and the waverider configuration of the wing body fusion plus the swept large delta wing, no wonder the shape is so sharp, but I don't know what the engine is, if only I could look at the engine."

"What just flew by?"

"I can see it clearly, the big guy wants to see the engine, no, Captain Tang introduced."

"Damn, is the Navigator Company going to fight Kan Xing to the death? The engine is really called 'Darts', hahaha! ”

"It is said that the boss of the company likes to play Kanxing games, and the two are now a strategic partnership."

"The take-off weight is about 100 tons, and the carrying capacity is 2 tons, which is okay, not too bad, but the cargo compartment of the aircraft type can't be compared with the rocket, right? Not cost-effective. ”

"Look clearly, people have already made it very clear, manned, not stocked."

"yes, if you're a passenger, do you want to take this kind of rocket, or the kind of rocket that throws a section later?"

"Do you need to ask? Of course it's like this, it's safe to watch! ”

A lot of people are excited, and of course, this doesn't include the space companies that were originally thinking of entering space tourism.

Because of the Navigator's "Dart X", the Crew Dragon spacecraft, the CST-100 Starliner, the Dream Chaser spaceship, the New Sheparda orbital sightseeing rocket, etc., all seem very low.

Not to mention these commercial spacecraft, even the manned spacecraft of the national space agency seem to be a little outdated.

It's not just the way you fly, it's the price.

A ticket costs only $1 million and can transport eight passengers into space orbit at a time.

Well, at the strong request of the marketing department, the 4-seat cabin was changed to 8 seats.

Two tons, plus 2 pilots, there are only 10 people in total, and one person can share 200 kilograms.

A single person will definitely not be able to use up these weights, so the spare ones can be filled with some space meals, supplies, sundries, and the like.

However, the 6-person version of the cockpit plus four seats was also left, which could be modified to luxury and sold to private individuals as a real private spacecraft.

There are even those that only leave the cockpit, and the rest of the space is changed to a "yacht", so let's take the license and drive it to play.

This is a manned version, and there will even be an unmanned cargo version in the future, and the space cannot be compared with a cylindrical rocket, but it is absolutely suitable to transport some small precision instruments and test products.

Horizontal take-off and horizontal landing, compared to the "straight up and straight down" rocket, that is called a comfortable.

The most important thing is the price, tens of millions against one million, it's really fragrant!

When it was said that there was a manned version, people's associations were a little less, but when the unmanned cargo version was introduced later, many aerospace enthusiasts suddenly got on the number.

It is the "X-33" aircraft, the technical demonstrator of the Adventure Star.

It is also an unmanned SSTO spacecraft, which does not have any windows, does not carry astronauts, only transports cargo, and carries precision test products back to the ground.

Unfortunately, its level of completion is already very high, but because some technologies cannot be broken through in the short term, the project was terminated 20 years ago.

If the program had not been terminated at that time, but had continued to be studied, what would be the current situation of Merriken's manned spaceflight, and even international manned spaceflight?

Merrican's taxpayers are furious!

"What did we do 20 years ago?"

"Don't get excited, it's really just because the technical limitations are too big and the positioning and future are unclear, so the mission was terminated."

"We don't believe it, you big companies and the government are the best at deceiving people, we want the truth!"

"That's the truth."

"We don't believe, we want the truth!"

“……”

Regardless of Merrican's quarrel again, Tang Chao said: "Tomorrow, please witness that 'Dart X' will enter space from here!" ”
