The aircraft is still climbing upwards with electric engines, and the cabin is quiet and stable, with an information screen showing an altitude of just over 2,000 meters.

[There are 26 satellites watching us.] A message pops up suddenly on the small card.

Predictable. Chen Wenhao is not surprised that since the advent of the cargo spacecraft, the Yidong Park has become an important area for satellite monitoring of several large countries, and the number of satellites implementing long-term monitoring is also increasing day by day.

[Consumes 20% of the electricity energy and can be invisible.] The small card took the initiative to pop up a message again.

It's rare to see you so attentive. Chen Wenhao turned the idea of complaining, and skillfully communicated with consciousness, "Don't hurt me, China is also watching." By the way, I remember that the Kunpeng was stealth and needed the help of the surveyor to provide energy support, but now the requirements have been lowered? ”

[Of course, my computing power is much stronger than it was back then.] 】

Speaking of which, the main computing resources of Xiaoka come from the supercomputing center under the headquarters building, which has expanded a lot compared with the initial construction. The underground garage of the headquarters building usually can't park many cars, so according to the requirements of the small truck, a large area has been encircled from it to expand the area, and a lot of high-end servers have been added.

In this piece alone, nearly one billion yuan has been invested in it, which is basically just the hardware cost. Fortunately, the supporting application software has been contracted by the small card, otherwise it will be nerve-wracking, and the cost of manpower is a trivial matter, and it is a matter of energy to integrate a large but effective technical team in the short term.

Compared with Jianghai, Beijing, and even provincial cities, Yidong's attractiveness is still significantly worse, especially because there are too few large-scale Internet companies and modern manufacturing enterprises here, and the function of gathering talents cannot be played. The company's headquarters park, which has just over 5,000 employees, has a bit of a lonely taste here. It can be placed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and any high-tech park can absorb tens of thousands of technical talents.

It is still necessary to promote the landing of the modern manufacturing innovation center as soon as possible and pull more large enterprises over as soon as possible. There are many things I want to do, but I have very little energy to use, so I still need to mobilize and unite more energy. This is especially true for companies with a lot of black technology reserves, and they are short of absorbing and transforming products independently.

A neutral electronic voice sounded in the cabin, interrupting Chen Wenhao's thoughts, "Passengers, we are about to increase the speed, please relax your body, get ready, and confirm the correct use of safety facilities." ”

The altitude of the aircraft has exceeded 3,000 meters, and the electric engine has completed the first stage of the mission. This will be followed by the start of the ignition of the two rocket engines, and then the vehicle will be sent out of the atmosphere in the traditional sense to reach a predetermined space orbit.

Dai Yuqian, who was across the aisle, turned her head to look over and met Chen Wenhao's line of sight. She smiled brightly, "I believe in you. ”

Chen Wenhao smiled back and said firmly, "Don't worry, soon we will be able to enjoy the scenery of space." ”

In the ten-second countdown of the electronic sound, the aircraft felt the fuselage vibration in a steady manner, and the amplitude gradually increased, and when the reading reached zero, the aircraft accelerated suddenly, and everyone was firmly pressed into their seats by inertia.

The rocket engine was successfully ignited in mid-air and began to exert force! The speed of the aircraft has increased by leaps and bounds!

[Now it's 32 satellites.] The small card did not forget to send a barrage.

I always feel that Xiaoka is a little strange to be so attentive today. However, considering the situation at the moment, Chen Wenhao decided not to pursue this detail first. The optimized body made him not feel any discomfort, only the excitement of the speed surge.

He turned his head to pay attention to Dai Yuqian who was sitting next to her, she was a little nervous because of the sudden sense of acceleration, and her pretty face was very serious, until she found that Chen Wenhao was looking at her, she relaxed her face, gave a smile that said she was okay, and had the strength to complain, "The two seats are too far apart, and they must be badly reviewed." ”

Well, maybe you can consider modifying a row of couple seats!

In the observation area on the side of the take-off runway, the trace of the aircraft has long been invisible to the naked eye, and everyone's attention has been changed to the projection screen. On the three-meter-high projection screen, real-time flight images of the two aircraft are being played, still from multiple angles. There are footage from satellite monitoring, which is a special resource provided by the military. There are also images of the two aircraft taking pictures of each other from the external camera equipment, and the images of the aircraft with passengers are the mainstay.

A technician was also arranged at the scene to do a synchronous commentary. He is introducing the division of labor between the two aircraft, the manned one, needless to say, the other aircraft without the logo of the spraying group on the fuselage, which is mainly equipped with various test instruments, and enhances the function of external shooting of the aircraft, and one of the main tasks is to track and photograph the whole trajectory of the manned aircraft.

At this moment, both aircraft have activated their rocket engines, pulling out two conspicuous tail flames in the air. A distance of about 500 meters is maintained between the two, and synchronization is maintained in flight altitude.

Strong power, soaring speed, let the 30,000-meter height jump over. The light screen displays the value of the height, and it is beating rapidly.

40,000 meters!

50,000 meters!

100,000 meters!

Values are now measured in kilometers. The staff explained, "Our aircraft is expected to reach an altitude of 520 kilometers, and the total estimated time is 16 minutes, and the current time is 4 minutes. After reaching the specified altitude, the vehicle will circle the Earth within an hour and then return. ”

Before these people came here, they all had some understanding of the content of today's test flight, but when they heard this explanation on the spot, they had a completely different feeling. When the aircraft accelerates and raises the nose of the aircraft to an 80-degree elevation angle, a cone-shaped mist appears on the tail of the entire aircraft, and the highest-ranking guests are also a little unable to sit still, leaning forward and staring at the light screen, as if this can see more details.

On the International Space Station, 365 kilometers above the ground, Jimmy Lie is taking pictures through a glass window. Subsequently, after careful selection, these photos will be posted on social platforms, as an astronaut on duty on the space station, which can be regarded as one of his jobs: to communicate with ordinary people and do some science popularization of astronautical knowledge.

Suddenly, at the bottom right of the glass window, two white lines broke into his field of vision for the first time. "Hey, what is this?" His first instinct was the trajectory of a rocket launch, but he was quickly overturned by himself, he had never seen two rockets launched at the same time, and they were still so close to each other, and from his point of view, it was more like a group of aircraft formations, with the main engine and wingman cruising at the same speed in tacit cooperation. However, how is it possible for an aircraft formation to run so high?

As the two lines continued to climb higher and closer, Jimmy, who couldn't take his eyes off it, saw more details, it turned out to be an airplane, and it was two drop-shaped planes that had never been seen before, the nose of the plane was almost tilted into a vertical angle, and the sound wave formed by the high-speed flight was like holy light enveloping the shell of the aircraft. He shouted to his colleague who was operating the instrument, "Oh my God, Anderson, come and see!" There are planes! In his hand, he did not forget to skillfully operate the camera to focus and shoot.

Under the watchful eyes of the two astronauts on duty, the two planes continued to fly upwards persistently, drawing an upward trajectory not far from the International Space Station, and disappeared from view, leaving only two traces of the turbulence of the air current.

"Could it be that NASA restarted the space shuttle program?" After the two were in a daze for a moment, one of them asked involuntarily.

"Absolutely impossible! The gentlemen in the white house are busy playing a trade war with everyone in order to make up for the huge deficit, how can they approve such a money-burning thing to go to heaven again. Even our space station will soon be abandoned. ”

…… You're right, I'm speechless.

Jimmy simply floated, and with a few assists on the protrusion, he came to a screen, determined the current position of the space station, and he tapped on the keyboard, muttering to himself, "First determine the area of the earth that this glass window is facing, and then estimate a velocity value based on the approximate angle of the plane's appearance, so that it is very simple, and we will know immediately where they are coming from." ”

"Damn! I should have thought of it a long time ago. Jimmy looked up and met Anderson's curious gaze, "It's China!" He went back to the photos he had taken and said, "Wow, looking at these photos, I have a hunch that I might win the prize." Upload it first, and let the base decide whether it can be made public. ”

Even though the viewing glass in the cabin is still closed, anyone sitting in the aircraft can clearly feel the slowdown.

Chen Wenhao's physical fitness made the speed change have little impact on him, and he looked at Dai Yuqian who was sitting on the side with concern. Previously, because of the acceleration, everyone else was firmly pressed against the back of the chair by gravity.

Even if the aircraft has the foundation of alien technology, the twin-engine system that is compromised due to secrecy and other reasons still makes the maximum load during the flight exceed 3G, which is basically the maximum load that ordinary people who have not undergone professional training can bear, of course, those with very good physical fitness can withstand 5G. However, the special clothing that absorbs the anti-load clothing technology of the Air Force and is optimized by the group's R&D department can greatly alleviate this pressure. The specific load reduction data is also one of the test items of this test flight.

Dai Yuqian, who got rid of the feeling of pushing her back, gave Chen Wenhao a smile, saying that she was in good condition. Several other passengers also spoke separately, and they were all in good condition. It seems that this special costume works well.

At this time, the electronic voice sounded, "We are already in space 520 kilometers above the earth, and the aircraft is about to enter orbit. At the same time, the motorized shutter of the viewing glass next to everyone opens automatically.

Before everyone could enjoy the scene outside, the aircraft switched to the electric engine and began to slowly but steadily rotate the fuselage, starting to enter the predetermined orbit with the nose facing down and facing the Earth.

"The nose is down into orbit, not to allow astronauts to better see the horizon of the Earth, for manual adjustment of inclination. The information I got shows that this aircraft does not have a manual operating system, so why is it also nose down into orbit? "Someone from the military in the back row asked questions.

Naturally, a professional from the second row of the company replied to him, "Your question is correct, the nose down into the orbit is indeed for better manual operation when the automatic system fails." The reason why our ship is also set up this way is simple, please look out the window. "Outside the widened viewing window, part of the earth has been revealed, and at the end of the field of vision is an arc-shaped outline, which is gilded with a layer of light from the stars, and it is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it." Here's the answer, because the view into orbit is better. We're a tourist spaceship! ”

The electronic voice sounded at the right time, "Successful orbit!" Wishing you all a wonderful space tourism experience. ”
