Chapter 279: A Thousand Miles of Glory (4)
The press conference made the reporters look depressed.
As for those guys who wanted to go to the drop point to pick up the cheap before, they also had to dismiss their thoughts.
After all, when the time comes, the Galactic Consortium has really put mushrooms on it, and then it will be finished.
Didn't you see that the Sun Country is now fishing for people in the sea? One who accidentally gets too close will really be finished.
Anyway, Captain Hagens and others don't plan to take on this kind of mission, whoever likes to go will go, after all, this mission is really playing with life, and the ghost knows if the so-called satellite launch vehicle will suddenly get out of control.
April 13, 10 o'clock in the morning.
In the open space above the base of the Burning Island, a transport truck pulls a Heroic Wind 4.
Burst...... The pale blue tail flame flashed, and Xiongfeng 4 rushed into the sky.
This time, it was about 860 kilometers southwest of Guam.
And the well-behaved Mi Lijia sent a helicopter over this time, of course, even if it was a helicopter, they didn't dare to get too close to the landing point.
Ten minutes later, this time the situation was different from the first time.
NASA Headquarters.
The department in charge of satellite monitoring is concentrating on monitoring near the landing point.
Suddenly.
[Didi!] Alert! ]
[The flyer disintegrates!] The Flyer Disintegrates! ]
The staff looked at the satellite picture, and the Xiongfeng 4 was about 10 kilometers above sea level, and suddenly disintegrated into thousands of pieces.
"Failed?"
"Nope! These things are not fragments. ”
"It's really not a fragment, it's almost the same size, and it's very evenly distributed, covering an area of about three hundred square kilometers."
Under the watchful eye of NASA, the thousands of "debris" crashed together on the sea level, but the movement of this crash was very alarming.
In this sea area of more than 300 square kilometers, fires and water columns rose into the sky, shock waves and huge waves rushed wildly, and many fish in the sea were suddenly wiped out.
If these fish could talk, they would just say: What are our hatreds! Abuse us like this! Woooooo
"So brutal! I like it! Fang Dongliang looked at the picture from the Beidou satellite and said excitedly.
"Yes! This stuff must be produced more. ”
"I think it can be improved, the range can be reduced, part of the fuel load will be turned into a payload, and a 1000 km 4~5 ton payload will be more powerful."
"Hmmm! This one can be considered. ”……
Huang Haojie listened to the discussion of the group of guys, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Sure enough, these guys are already in the advanced stage of fire deficiency, and this disease needs 63 times the efficacy of T medicine to suppress the disease, and it is estimated that antimatter, the treasure of the universe, can be fully cured.
Soon the data cabin was recovered by the airship team, and after the experimental data was transmitted, it was handed over to the research institute for data analysis.
Huang Haojie also analyzed the data with Li Jie and other R&D personnel.
The other is the production task of the Xiongfeng series, which will be dominated by Supernova Industries, and of course, the products produced by Supernova Industries are all used by the Galaxy Consortium itself.
As for the products needed by Dongtang, they are produced by Dongtang state-owned enterprises.
Although the two sides share technology, there is a difference in what is more or less produced.
14th.
A large ghost airship suddenly appeared near the Antarctic Circle.
This kind of large ghost airship is indeed based on the prototype of a large transport airship.
However, considering the need to fly in the stratosphere at about 30,000 meters, the carrying capacity of the large ghost airship is only about 128~130 tons.
In other words, you can carry 10 Hsiungfeng 4 pieces at a time.
I saw that in the 30,000-meter stratosphere, the door of the load compartment of the ghost airship popped open instantly, and a Xiongfeng 4 fell.
When the Hsiung Feng 4 fell down about 200 meters, the ignition system was activated, and with the assistance of the navigation system, it quickly moved towards the landing point.
The ghost airship that launched the Hsiungfeng 4 quickly entered a state of optical stealth and disappeared into the stratosphere of the Antarctic Circle.
In fact, the ghost airship has another mode, that is, the ultra-low-altitude mode, which brings the airship close to the surface of the sea about 100 meters, and in this ultra-low-altitude mode, the radar detection will be seriously disturbed by the waves of the ocean.
Of course, this mode is rarely used now, mainly because the electromagnetic wave stealth technology of the ghost airship is very strong, and the general current radar cannot detect it.
However, human science and technology are changing with each passing day, and under the huge pressure of the Galaxy Consortium and the Eastern Tang Dynasty, many countries will definitely try their best to study ways to deal with the ghost airship.
Otherwise, the ghost airship that can be elusive will make the rice grain family, hairy bears and the like sit on pins and needles.
The third Xiongfeng 4 is of the same type as the first, that is, the single type, and the second is the child and mother type.
The result of the landing point is similar to the first one, and after the data capsule is recovered, the next thing is the main event.
The remaining two Hsiung Feng 9 A (modified from DF Express 41) are the highlight of this time.
The original design of the Type 41 has a distance of about 12,000 kilometers, a length of 16.5 meters, a diameter of 2.78 meters, and an overall weight of more than 60 tons.
After the improvement, it is the internal code name of Tianhan Security Company Xiongfeng 9 A, and the internal code name of Dongtang is DF-51A.
The design of the Hsiungfeng-9A launch vehicle is similar to the original, which is also 16.5 meters long, 2.78 meters in diameter, and has an overall weight of more than 60 tons.
However, the addition of submetallic oxygen and submetallic hydrogen is very large, which directly increases the distance to about 18,000 kilometers, of course, this is the current theoretical calculation result, and has not been measured.
And it is not only the distance that is raised, but the payload has also been increased from about 1.5 tons in the original design to about 7.6 tons.
In addition, the cost has also dropped a lot, the original design was 150 million Chinese yuan (excluding mushrooms and other supporting facilities), and now the cost is 110 million Chinese yuan.
In the next test, the launch cost of these two Hsiung Feng 9 A is shared equally by Galaxy Technology and Dongtang, after all, the data and technology are shared by everyone, and the cost must be shared equally.
The purpose of launching these two Hsiungfeng-9A models is, firstly, for deterrence, and secondly, to test the technology of high-thrust launch vehicles.
Once the data is available, it is possible to improve the high-orbit satellite launch vehicles currently under way, and can also be used as a reference for another type of launch vehicle.
Hsiung Feng 9 A is a solid rocket, and Hsiung Feng 9 B is a liquid-like rocket that needs a rocket engine, the reason why it is said to be a liquid-like rocket, mainly because the fuel is solid submetallic hydrogen and submetallic oxygen, but the engine uses a liquid rocket engine, so it is called a liquid-like rocket.
The reason for the development of liquid-like rockets is mainly that this type of carrier rocket can not only change speed significantly, but also change orbit significantly, and it is more fuel-efficient.
With the same weight of about 60 tons, the payload of Type B can theoretically reach about 10.3 tons, or the distance can be increased to 20,000 kilometers with the same payload as Type A.
Therefore, the next two experiments are crucial, not only Tianhan Security Company sent 6 teams of ghost airships to escort them.
The Eastern Tang side also sent two large-scale fleets to block the sea area of the landing point.
