Chapter 434: Landing on the ground
The Qiming space plane waved its wings and flew away, but the news from the International Space Station shocked the space departments of various countries. Due to the difference in latitude, it is still night in many Western countries, and one by one the emergency calls will be still asleep leaders, staff, and relevant scientists.
Meetings to deal with the aerospace aircraft incident were held urgently, and various news gradually gathered up. In addition to the photo materials sent back from the International Space Station, someone quickly turned over the message on Twitter. found Zhihe's live broadcast room from Twitter, and then figured out the origin of the space plane. Unlike what they thought, the developer of the aerospace aircraft turned out to be not the official Huaxia Aerospace Research Institute, but a private company called Xingchen International. And it didn't take off in China, but their company built a space base in a place called Mauria in Africa, and the space plane named Qiming also took off from there.
After getting these news, the space-related personnel of various countries were confused. What kind of place is Africa, notoriously poor, backward, and chaotic, when will Africa be able to engage in aerospace, and it will be Wang Bang when it comes up. Aerospace aircraft is being studied by many countries, but there is no successful research and development project, but now it is being won by a small country in Africa, how strange it is.
Everyone studied the existing information, and the last gaze fell on Xingchen International Company. After a little investigation on the Internet, soon Xingchen Group also appeared in front of them, looking at the high-tech products released by Xingchen Group since its establishment, it seems that only they can develop such a perverted aerospace aircraft.
It's just that what if you know that it is an aerospace aircraft developed by Xingchen Group, not to mention that Xingchen Group is headquartered in Huaxia, where they can't meddle at all. Even the space base built by Xingchen International in the Sahara Desert is not something that their group of aerospace scientists can move. At present, they can only call the Sahara space base, on the one hand, to congratulate their aerospace plane on the success of its first flight, and on the other hand, to apply to go to the space base to study and exchange.
They have a very good idea, even if they don't have the ability to learn at a glance by a rabbit, they can always figure out the general technology applied by Xingchen International in the aerospace aircraft, and then come back to develop their own country's aerospace aircraft, and they can avoid a lot of detours.
These things, Jiao Bai, who is still flying in the air, naturally don't know for the time being. At this time, the Qiming aerospace plane had already entered the atmosphere and was rapidly descending in altitude. In order not to make the speed too fast, causing the body to overheat and create a thermal barrier, several auxiliary engines, which have been working, produce upward thrust to counteract part of the effect of gravity.
When the aerospace plane descends below 20,000 meters above the ground, the air density increases significantly, and the wings on both sides of the fuselage begin to work. The airflow created by high-speed flight glides across the wings, creating an upward lift that greatly counteracts the effects of gravity. Captain Cheng Ziming also pulled the rudder at the right time and changed the flight mode of the aerospace aircraft from straight up and straight down to level flight. The huge Qiming Aerospace Plane began to glide and fly, constantly lowering its altitude.
After another ten minutes of flight, the figure of the Sahara space base has appeared on the ground level in the distance. Qiming turned on its main plasma engines and circled the Sahara space base several times, further reducing altitude and adjusting its course and speed. Finally, under the command of the ground flight control center, the Qiming aimed its nose at the No. 1 runway of the aerospace airport, lowered the landing gear, pressed down the nose, and slowly landed. After the landing gear fell to the ground, due to the influence of inertia, even if the parachute slowed down, the aerospace plane still taxied forward for several kilometers before stopping.
When the aerospace plane was parked, the ground crew immediately surrounded it, and at the same time there were various vehicles, including ramp trucks and aerospace aircraft maintenance vehicles.
The space plane landed smoothly, and Jiao Bai and other astronauts suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief. Although they are very clear about the performance of the Qiming aerospace aircraft and know that there is almost no risk in this trip, after all, aerospace is a very high-risk activity, people in space, any accident can happen, astronauts always feel unsteady in their hearts, only after returning to the earth, the heartstrings that have been tense can be completely relaxed.
Jiao Bai and the others opened the seat belts on their seats, took off their spacesuits, and planned to get out of the cabin. After staying in the weightless environment for a long time, when I first returned to the earth, I felt very heavy in my gestures, and it may be a problem to stand up for a person with average physical fitness. Fortunately, they only spent more than seven hours in outer space, and with their inhuman physical fitness, it was not a problem to stand and walk normally.
Before Zhihe got off the plane, she didn't forget to say goodbye to the netizens who had been in the live broadcast room for more than seven hours.
"Friends who watched the live broadcast, the Qiming aerospace plane has successfully returned to the ground, and our more than seven hours of live broadcast is coming to an end. Finally, I would like to announce a major discovery, which is that our just-launched Tianyan-1 satellite has discovered a terrestrial planet while observing the Barnard System, the second closest star system to the solar system.
The planet, which we named Apocalypse, is slightly larger than Earth, with a rotation period of 28 hours and an orbital period of about two years. What makes us very happy is that in the photos taken by the Tianyan-1 satellite, there is a large area of ocean on the surface of the Apocalypse, and there are also large signs of cloud activity on the photo.
Everyone knows that as long as there is liquid water, there is likely to be life. In the next period of time, our Tianyan-1 will continue to observe the Apocalypse Star to determine whether there is life on the Apocalypse, and if so, what form and to what extent. Netizens who are interested in this can pay attention to our official website of Star Entertainment at any time, where we will share the latest discoveries of Tianyan-1 as soon as possible. ”
After that, the live broadcast screen in the aerospace plane disappeared and was replaced by a photo that took up the entire screen. Zhihe's revelations at the last moment of the live broadcast were strong enough to cause an uproar among netizens in the live broadcast room.
"I'm going, don't be so exaggerated, even the living planet has been made. This photo is a bit blurry, and the light shows that there are three planets, and the specific details are not visible, and it is a bit like an overexposed feeling. ”:,,,
