104 Target: Moon

"What's going on? What about flying machines? ”

At the same time, the surveillance of major countries lost the trace of the flight at the same time, and countless voices were roaring, demanding that their subordinates immediately find the aircraft. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the surveyor that does not use all the power for power output, the electromagnetic invisible cover it uses is completely crushing-level black technology relative to the detection level of the earth, and the search efforts of the countries of the earth are doomed to nothing.

While the major aerospace agencies were struggling to trace the missing aircraft, Chen Wenhao was confirming the next trip with Xiaoka. After rushing out of the earth, it is natural to move on to the next step of the journey - to the moon, a planet more than 380,000 kilometers away from the earth in a straight line. The research ship carrying the small truck and the surveyor is still lonely somewhere on the far side of the moon at the moment.

If it is an unmanned lunar exploration vehicle of the earth, in order to make full use of the potential energy provided by the earth's rotation and save fuel, it is generally necessary to orbit three or four times before starting from the outer atmosphere to the moon, gradually increasing the orbital altitude of the aircraft flying around the earth, and then accelerating into the earth-moon transfer orbit and really starting the journey to the moon.

Naturally, the Kunpeng (the new name of the aircraft where the small truck is located) does not need to be so troublesome. On Chen Wenhao's retinal projection, an astronomical map is being displayed, a circular flight curve, one end is connected to the Kunpeng, and the other end is pointing directly to the moon.

As for why you want to take an arc route, it is because the universe is not "flat", and the gravitational field generated by different stars makes the universe like a ground full of potholes, and if you want to fly from the earth to the moon, it is equivalent to jumping from one big pit to another. In this case, a straight path between two points is not the best route, and it may take longer.

After Chen Wenhao and Xiaoka confirmed the route, the next second, the Kunpeng's engine turned on again with full force, and in just two minutes, the Kunpeng, which only flew by inertia after entering outer space, quickly increased its flight speed again.

Mach 25! It's the top speed it has when it burst out of the atmosphere, and it's still accelerating, accelerating, accelerating!

When it broke through Mach 32 (39,202 kilometers per hour), the Kunpeng broke free from the gravitational shackles of the earth and officially began its flight to the moon.

At this time, although the speed of the vehicle has not yet exceeded the second cosmic velocity, that is, the speed of 11.2 km/s (40,320 km/h) required to theoretically break away from the gravitational field of the Earth, since the Moon has not yet exceeded the range of the Earth's gravity, as long as the initial velocity is not less than 10.9 km/s (39,240 mph).

In space, it only needs a small amount of power to maintain high speed, and then the Kunpeng will turn off most of the engine power, and the rest of the power will be used to maintain the course.

[Arrive at your destination after 24 hours and 6 minutes.] At the same time as the small card was announced, there was a synchronous countdown in the corner of Chen Wenhao's retinal projection screen.

At this moment, Chen Wenhao regrets even more that when he built the aircraft, he didn't install some photography equipment or anything on it, otherwise he could enjoy the scene of space now.

Against the backdrop of the vast sea of stars, a flying machine is lonely but determined to move towards its goal. The first adjective that came to mind when he was thinking of the Kunpeng at the moment was the line that was quoted to flood:

My journey is the sea of stars!

Chen Wenhao sighed with emotion, and when he saw that it was late at night, he went home to rest.

On the contrary, the relevant departments of several countries (alliances) have not slept tonight.

Kunpeng's journey to the moon, the second day.

In the capital, in the China National Space Administration, this government department, which seems a bit mysterious and tall in the eyes of the people, has many expressionless security personnel early this morning.

The atmosphere in the space bureau's multimedia conference room was solemn, the conference table was lined up in a zigzag shape, the chief and deputy directors attended together, and a number of experts in the field of aerospace gathered here; many experts in the field were brought to Beijing by a special military plane overnight yesterday, and some participants wore military uniforms and sat upright.

The projection screen in the conference room is playing a video of the aircraft breaking through the atmosphere, and the video quality is very clear, and from the perspective it should be high-definition satellite shooting from outer space. The video has obviously undergone technical processing, and the detailed enlarged pictures of the aircraft's fuselage, engine ejection area and other parts are also interspersed, and the interference of flames has also been removed.

The video is not long, from the moment the aircraft rushes into the thermosphere and is discovered by the radar, the satellite begins to monitor, and ends when the aircraft suddenly disappears after rushing out of the thermosphere, and after repeated playback, the video screen is suspended at the moment when the aircraft rushes up to the escape layer.

The head of the space administration personally presided over the meeting, first affirming that this was an important confidential meeting, and asked the participants not to record or leak the relevant content of the meeting. Only then did the available information be reported:

"This mysterious aircraft was found at an altitude of 90,000 meters above the Philippine Sea, and in the subsequent monitoring, its fastest flight speed reached Mach 25, and it took only 2 minutes and 14 seconds to rise to the outer atmosphere more than 500 kilometers above the ground, and disappeared in front of all monitoring equipment after a short flight."

……

An elderly person sitting in the middle of the conference table, if he often watches the 7 o'clock news, will definitely not be blind. He had been watching the video intently, and waited until the head of the space agency had finished reporting the basic situation before he spoke and asked:

"It's urgent, so let's get straight to the point. I believe you have already understood this matter before, and there are a few questions I would like to ask you to answer. First of all, can it be determined that this aircraft is a product of the earth? ”

Several experts whispered to each other before one of them, as a representative, replied:

"We all agree that it is more likely to be the secret weapon of a certain great power, because from the perspective of its power system, body form, etc., it can be found in the existing scientific and technological achievements on the earth. However, it is clear that the other side has achieved breakthrough results in terms of dynamics and shell materials. ”

"Can you estimate the impact of this mysterious aircraft on national security? If it is hostile to our country, is there a way to fight it? ”

The answer to this question was replaced by a group of experts in the aerospace and military industrial systems. It was also an expert who spoke as a representative, and this expert, who was about fifty years old, spoke in a somewhat dignified tone:

"Based on the maneuverability of this aircraft, it is difficult for our existing air defense systems to effectively defend against it. In the worst-case scenario, in the event of a conflict, one of the most likely scenarios is that it will be difficult for us to keep the satellites in orbit. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a brief aphasia at the venue, and none of the people present were laymen, and they naturally knew that once they lost the monitoring information and communication relay provided by satellites in modern warfare, they would become "blind" and "deaf," and many medium- and long-range weapons would also lose their accuracy, which would lead to the defeat of the war.

A representative in military uniform asked, "Can you tell which country the aircraft belongs to?" Or find the place where it was launched? ”

The expert shook his head with a wry smile, "This is a vehicle with enough power to rush out of the atmosphere, and it can't calculate the take-off location based on the trajectory, it can be anywhere." ”

"Which country's aircraft is this, do you have a clue?" The elder sitting in the middle of the conference table did not speak after asking the first question, and only then did he ask another question.

"The radar signal of the earliest target was found in the air 90,000 meters above the ground, below which is the high sea area of the Philippine Sea, which does not belong to any country. However, this area is surrounded by a number of countries, such as the RB island of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu to the north. ”

"We've been analyzing this since last night, and from a technical point of view, it's more like the United States, and they're already having a triangular fuselage test in their ongoing X-Series aerospace aircraft program," an expert explained. However, there is a difficult question to understand, if it is an American plane, why it is coming here to take off. ”

The elder pondered for a moment, then turned to the highest-ranking military representative and said, "The other comrades of the committee are also very concerned about this matter, and I will submit an application when I go back, suggesting that a military exercise in the waters of the Philippines be organized, do you have any problems here?" ”

Without hesitation, the uniform representative replied: "As long as the commission issues an order, we will resolutely complete the task!" ”

……

At the same time, HSD Moscow, Russia, Berlin, Germany, and RB Tokyo all held high-level meetings on the Kunpeng incident.

In the absence of more intelligence, several countries have turned their attention to the Philippine Sea.
