April 15th.

The East Island Fire Island Satellite Launch Base was in a state of silence.

A Hsiungfeng-9A launch vehicle is quietly towering in the middle of the silos.

It is 16.5 meters long, 2.78 meters in diameter, and weighs more than 60 tons.

"Launch!"

The manhole cover of the silo popped open instantly, and the Xiongfeng 9 soared into the sky.

Meanwhile.

The world's great powers have their eyes on the Mighty Wind 9.

NASA Headquarters.

[Didididi!] Level 1 Alert! ］

[Target, Bearing...... ］

[Speed 8743 m/s...... ］

Maxwell looked at the satellite surveillance footage and couldn't help but look gloomy.

This so-called satellite launch vehicle is too fast, nearly Mach 26, to be unstoppable.

At this speed, running 18,000 kilometers is only half an hour, which is simply terrifying.

Dr. Archimedes looked at the satellite surveillance footage and the data analyzed by the computer, frowned and said, "Mr. Mack, something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"If you look at these data, judging from the data, this launch vehicle is the 41 in the DF series, and the entire launch vehicle is up to 63~65 tons, and according to this weight, it is simply impossible to reach a distance of 18,000 kilometers." Dr. Archimedes analyzed.

Maxwell looked at the data and saw that it was exactly what Archimedes had said, but the discovery didn't make him happy.

"Let's see."

Dr. Archimedes did not refute, after all, the technology of Galaxy Technology is sometimes so weird, and if others can't do it, it doesn't mean that Galaxy Technology can't do it.

Like NASA, the Mao Bear Space Agency, the West Space Agency, the Sun Country, and Tianzhu all found the weirdness of the Hsiungfeng 9.

Around 10:10 a.m.

Hsiung Feng 9 has flown nearly 6,000 kilometers when the first stage of the rocket stalled and disengaged as it approached Port Vila, Vanuatu.

Since the Hsiungfeng-9 flies at an altitude of about 94 kilometers, the first-stage rocket that is detached from the main body, after ten seconds, automatically activates the self-destruct device.

The first-stage rocket instantly turned into a fireball, and countless debris fell towards the sea below, at a height and speed that these debris would be incinerated by atmospheric friction before it hit the ground or the surface of the sea.

At around 10:20, Hsiungfeng-9 had flown 12,000 kilometers and reached the famous South Pacific spacecraft graveyard.

The second stage of the rocket turned off and broke away, and like the first stage rocket, its fate was self-destruction.

The remaining third-stage rocket will take a payload, make a big turn in the South Pacific, turn back to the northwest, and crash into the sea about 1,000 kilometers southwest of Easter Island.

Ten twenty-nine a.m.

In NASA's satellite surveillance footage, a huge hole appeared in the South Pacific Ocean, at 30 degrees south latitude and about 120 degrees west longitude.

"......" Maxwell was silent as he looked at the satellite surveillance footage.

"It's equivalent to 450~500 tons of equivalent, which is amazing, really amazing." Archimedes was amazed.

Maxwell, who came to his senses, commanded, "Estimate what their payload is?"

"Leave it to me."

Dr. Archimedes called up the monitored data and began to calculate, ten minutes later: "Mr. Mike, two bad news. ”

"Say it! We have to face reality, don't we?"

Archimedes paused and organized his language: "The preliminary estimate of the payload is about 7~8 tons, which means that the charge they use is between 60~70 times that of T medicine. ”

"In addition, the payload is 7~8 tons, which is also ......"

"It also means that the payload factor of the other party is very high." Maxwell continued in a deep voice.

"My preliminary estimate is that their payload coefficient has reached 10~12%, which is very difficult to do."

There was a dead silence in NASA's satellite monitoring room, they were all professionals, and of course they knew the horror of this data.

Although the Satan launch vehicle of the hairy bear also looks very good, but if you look closely, you can see the difference between the two.

The Satan weighs about 200 tons, has a payload of 8.8 tons, and has a payload factor of only a measly 4.4%.

The Hsiung Feng 9 has a total weight of 64 tons, a payload of 7.6 tons, and a payload factor of 11.8%.

The effective load coefficient of the Hsiung Feng 9 is 2.68 times that of Satan, which means that if the Hsiung Feng 9 is as heavy as Satan, the payload that can be delivered at a distance of 18,000 kilometers may reach 45~50 tons.

In addition, the speed of the wind is very fast, so fast that it is difficult to intercept and react.

The home west coast of Mi Lijia is about 10,000 kilometers away from Dongtang, and the east coast is about 14,000 kilometers.

As for other places like Asia, West, Oceania, not to mention.

Although he knew that due to the existence of mushroom eggs, a world-class conflict was unlikely to happen, but the strength of the Eastern Tang Dynasty still made people feel a lot of pressure.

The other countries monitoring the experiment also fell silent, and the power reminded them of another old friend, an old friend they had been trapped to death.

Now the situation in the world is becoming more and more like before 1991, both economically and fist-poweringly Dongtang, and the declining rice grain family, which has to make people worry about the future.

In the case of worries around the world.

A team of ghost airships successfully recovered the data bay of Hsiung Feng 9.

East Island Fire Island Base.

"Judging by the experimental data, the maximum distance reaches 18,713 kilometers." Li Jie's kind of analysis report said.

"18,700 kilometers is already obviously overperforming, and I suggest that it is enough to suppress the maximum distance to 16,000 kilometers, so that the payload can be increased to about 16 tons." Another researcher suggested.

"That's a good idea, we can make some improvements." The experts of the mainland delegation also nodded.

They are the most fond of rage, of course, the larger the payload, the better, and it is best to be able to hit the soul in one shot, which is the coolest.

Of course, the payload of 7.6~16 is definitely a sour shot to heaven for those countries with an area of less than 100,000 square kilometers.

"When the test of another Hsiung Feng 9 is completed tomorrow, let's discuss how to improve it!" Huang Haojie returned the report to Li Jie and said.

"Okay."

"Just listen to Mr. Huang." ……

April 16th.

The second Majestic Wind 9 soared into the sky.

This time, however, the Hsiung Feng 9 was launched from a transport ship.

It broke through the northeastern part of the Tianzhu Ocean, then crossed the southwestern part of the Tianzhu Ocean and entered the South Atlantic Ocean and crashed.

Unlike the single type of the first Xiongfeng 9, the second Xiongfeng 9 is a child-mother type.

Satellite monitoring departments around the world have been shocked to the point of numbness, even if this thing adopts the current design, without the use of mushrooms, it is estimated that it can level a large fleet of Ford.

The data compartment was recovered.

Huang Haojie held a meeting with researchers from the institute, a delegation from the mainland, and Wang Dalong from Supernova Industry to discuss the next arrangements.

Due to the overperformance of the Hsiung Feng 9, especially in terms of distance, the discussion revolves around these issues.

For example, the enlarged version of the Heroic Wind 9; or suppress the distance, enhancing the payload version; Or a version that can launch high-orbit satellites, and so on.

In terms of various aspects such as use and launch method, they discussed as many as a dozen improved versions.

These guys are in line with the principle that they don't need money to open their mouths, and all kinds of magic modification versions have been thrown out, if Huang Haojie hadn't let them stop in moderation in the end, there would have been more improved models.
