Chapter 295: Vertical Take-Off and Landing Fighters
Returning from the moon to the earth's orbit, and then entering the landing window from the earth's orbit will not be repeated, anyway, after the turbulence when breaking into the atmosphere, the return capsule successfully opened the parachute to decelerate, and finally the landing engine was successfully ignited at a height of nearly one meter from the ground, and the flames that burst out provided reverse thrust for the return capsule, and the final deceleration was completed with a frustration visible to the naked eye, and then the return capsule sat on the ground of the earth, and then rolled with inertia, and then stopped.
All of this was recorded by the news media cameras, but while the director switched the helicopter camera to the vehicle footage of the ground search and rescue team, in another secret command base outside the landing site, all the instruments and all the busy crew members were closely watching the situation around the landing site.
"The cloud occlusion is good, and there is no satellite image." In the command center, a staff member shouted. Another staff member in charge of the radar also said: "There is no abnormal air condition, and the airspace is clean." ”
In order to ensure absolute security, various troops were even dispatched to conduct military exercises around the landing module, not for fear of being attacked, but to ensure absolute secrecy.
The training troops on the mission did not know that their main goal was to protect the return capsule with physical technology from being discovered by other countries or forces, and even the search and rescue team at the landing site did not know their real mission, and the search and rescue team only followed the usual training. Locating and searching for the return capsule that landed in the landing site. The real secret mission is the special operations team mixed in with the search and rescue team.
The special operations team drove a large container truck with four wheels in the front and twelve wheels in the rear and two off-road jeeps. After the positioning search and rescue helicopter confirmed the landing site of the return capsule, it took the lead in increasing the throttle and speeding in the direction of Xia Yu and them. In the roar of a twelve-cylinder high-horsepower diesel engine. Although the helicopter in the sky has been keeping watching, the director only broadcast the picture of the search and rescue team going to the landing site at the beginning, but then the picture was cut away, and instead the ground search and rescue team drove together, raising the picture of sand and soil and interviews, and the search and rescue team that was really responsible for the mission never appeared in the TV screen again.
"Squeak-" braked violently. The large truck, which did not have an ABS anti-lock braking system, instantly locked its tires, and the twelve large rear wheels stopped rotating and dragged a long brake trail on the sandy road before stopping next to the return capsule.
The two jeeps also stopped one after another, and then immediately jumped out of the car four soldiers wearing desert camouflage and gas masks, one of them ran directly to the return capsule with great speed, and then looked in through the small circular window of the return capsule, and at the same time, he also patted the door of the return capsule with his hand, making a "bang bang, bang bang" sound.
Hear the three long and two short answering codes. Xia Yu immediately gave a thumbs up to the figure outside the window in the return capsule to indicate that there was no abnormal situation in the return capsule, and the soldier in charge of answering nodded at Xia Yu, and then turned his head to signal that the return capsule was in good condition, at this time. One of the soldiers in the jeep immediately began to say in the encrypted radio channel: "The cargo is in good condition and ready to be received." ”
After receiving the information from the search and rescue team, the secret command center outside the landing site once again confirmed that the vicinity of the landing module was not monitored by other countries or other forces. At the same time, the clouds in the sky were very thick, so it avoided the possibility of being monitored by satellites, and the order to receive it was immediately issued. The truck then immediately opened the container behind it and threw an identical return capsule to the ground.
At the same time. The four people who jumped out of the jeep also locked the return capsule that Xia Yu and the five people were riding in with huge chains, and then the truck engine began to roar, dragging the return capsule into the container and locking it, while the four soldiers on the ground began to restore the scene and remove the traces left by the activities just now, and in just seven or eight minutes, the search and rescue team completed a trick of stealing the day.
When the real search and rescue team arrived, began to secure the return capsule that had been dropped from the truck, and rescued the astronauts inside, as seen on all previous TV screens, the astronauts in the return capsule were picked up one by one and sat in chairs for interviews with media reporters, they were wearing spacesuits, smiling, and receiving the cheers of the crowd as if they had just returned from the moon to the surface, and when everything was ready, The special operations team, which was mixed with the search and rescue team, also returned to the command and dispatch center of the landing site with everyone, parked the car in a very remote corner of the underground parking lot, and quickly left the dispatch center after completing their mission.
But Xia Yu and the five did not evacuate as soon as the car stopped, like the soldiers who came to receive them. As early as on the way back to the command and dispatch center, Xia Yu had already opened the hatch in the return capsule, and after the five people came out in turn, they also moved three guard robots and three individual armor and some other research materials out of the return capsule on the bumpy road, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, Xia Yu and the five people hurried to put all these items of great significance to the country into various storage boxes that had been prepared in the carriage in advance, and then locked the password that only he knew. Quietly waiting for the next group of people to carry out the transfer mission.
From the very beginning, all the people who carried out the transfer mission did not know what they needed to escort, and even the person in charge of formulating the transfer plan could not know the specific situation, so the only people who knew the contents of the cargo except for the relevant people of the starship plan were Xia Yu and the five.
"Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang" The established contact code came from the door of the truck container, Xia Yu immediately opened the compartment door, and saw a soldier standing outside the door at a glance, without extra nonsense, Xia Yu immediately turned around and began to move the nearly seven huge metal lockboxes with Luo Xiang.
The things looked quite big, each one was more than one person tall, but it was not too heavy, and the transfer from the truck to the box pickup was completed in five minutes, Xia Yu and Huang Changming sat in the co-pilot of the scented pickup truck, Luo Xiang and the others sat in another SUV car, and then went straight to the airport.
In the airport, a Boeing 747 that had been on standby for a long time was specially called by the 34th Air Division for this mission, and after the handover, even the cargo was carried by Xia Yu and others, and there was no ground staff from the airport involved in the whole process. Locked the cargo door, Xia Yu and the five returned the cargo delivery vehicle to the airport, and then immediately boarded the plane from the boarding gate, Boeing 747, which has the right of way, immediately taxied on the runway after obtaining the airport's take-off permit, and then raised its head to take off, rose to the sky, and flew to the airport of the 34th Air Division, until this time, Xia Yu began to have some free time to sigh and finally returned to the earth.
However, this is an extremely secret action after all, Xia Yu and the five people have no time to move freely in a short period of time, especially when they have fought with the escort robot, and they have personally entered the wreckage of the spaceship, even if Xia Yu and the five people have completed the handover of the goods, they still need to write a detailed mission report, plus physical examination, post-event analysis, etc., at least in a month's time, Xia Yu don't expect to go back and continue to test fly his X20, but Xia Yu didn't expect that the Bureau of Science and Industry arranged a secret place for them this time, It's actually a very remote, but highly confidential airport.
Under the leadership of the staff arranged by the Bureau of Science and Industry for Xia Yu, Xia Yu found that this small airport is not just an airport, this airport is only for small business or private jets to take off and land, and there is only a runway more than 350 meters long, but in the more than half a month of staying here, Xia Yu has never found that any small business planes have taken off and landed here, but because of his participation in the Starship Project, Xia Yu was surprised to find that this airport is not so much an airport, but a research institute with airport facilities. Because Xia Yu was able to discover several research laboratories on the ground and underground here, but what really made Xia Yu understand that this was a secret research base was because of another thing.
On this day, Xia Yu had just submitted his mission report, and when he was bent on returning to the room as soon as possible because of the heavy haze weather, the roar of a turbofan engine suddenly came from the direction of the airport in the distance, which made Xia Yu very curious.
Because the runway of this airport is too short, there is no problem for fighters of more than three and a half generations to take off with afterburner, but if they land, it is very reluctant. Xia Yu had always thought that there would be no heavy planes landing at this airport, so he never expected to hear the sound of turbofan engines here.
Curious, Xia Yu borrowed the airport ground support vehicle to drive in the direction of the runway, today's haze is too big, the sky is gray, the farthest eyesight is more than a thousand meters, the haze in the upper altitude layer is even more serious, not to mention the blue sky, even the sun's incomparably dazzling light is blocked on this thick haze, Xia Yu shook his head, this level of haze has a great impact on the human body, I really hope that the country can study the technical means to control the haze weather as soon as possible.
While thinking wildly while driving the car, the airport gradually came into view, the roar of the turbofan engine became louder and louder, more and more clear, following the sound, in the haze in the distance, a fighter plane loomed in Xia Yu's sight, and then Xia Yu couldn't help but open his mouth, and blurted out in shock: "This is ...... VTOL fighters?! (To be continued......)
