In the distance, tens of thousands of Americans eagerly awaited the coming spectacle.

Although, there are too many deficiencies at the moment. The United States is one step behind in the real space vehicle, and just now, Germany and Russia announced almost at the same time that the newly developed space shuttle has been completed and entered the testing stage, using the technology of the master company. And it is about a month away from the trial stage of the United States.

What is more lacking is that the entire space shuttle cost as much as 32 billion US dollars, and the sale price of the space shuttle of Gao and the master company is 150 billion Chinese dollars, 30 billion US dollars. Comparatively, the Dream of the Master has three engines.

Of course, the space shuttle of the master company will not be sold to places other than China, and on this, the United States has to spend a lot of money to develop its own space shuttle.

However, what makes the American people even more dissatisfied is that of the $32 billion cost, $24 billion is the cost of purchasing the relevant technology of the master company! Once upon a time, the advantage of the United States quietly disappeared, and China and the United States were just reversed in the top field!

However, the only consolation is that the United States is still the second in the world to successfully build a real space shuttle. Moreover, on the basis of aerospace equipment, the United States is still NO1, as long as the technical research is completed, the United States has enough ability to achieve replicable production, which is a strong industrial base that China, Russia and Germany are not able to match.

Because of the large number of titanium alloys, even the skin of the aircraft is so, the aircraft as a whole shows a slightly dull silver-white luster, in the midst of all the attention, the aircraft slowly slid out of the hangar, to the 1200-meter-long runway.

In an instant, a large number of cameras and the like clicked at the scene, and some young people in the United States even stood up, because the space shuttle is the backbone of the nation in this era!

If the backbone of the nation in the 18th and 19th centuries was the cannon of giant ships; In the 20th century, it was aircraft nuclear energy, so now, the backbone of the nation is the space shuttle.

In this era, the deterrent power of nuclear bombs has dropped sharply. The name of space-based weapons hangs above the heads of every people in the world. The experiment of the master company in space was actually captured by the satellites of several countries, including Huaxia's own satellites, otherwise how could the country be so simple and reconciled!

A small 1.3-kilogram projectile can destroy a comet with a diameter of 200 kilometers under the strong force of a few projectiles, although there are many reasons for this, such as the loose structure of the comet and the strong gravitational pull of the sun. But it is also enough to illustrate the horror of space-based weapons. Someone made a calculation that if a projectile of ten kilograms is continuously launched from space at a speed of 15 kilometers per second, then at least ten kilometers on the ground will be affected. However, if the current space-based weapons are launched with a large-load electromagnetic guide rail, they can be accelerated to a speed of 100 kilometers per second in a space environment, which is theoretically completely achievable. At such speeds, an object weighing one kilogram falls to the ground and can penetrate thousands of kilometers of ground (if the warhead is hard enough), turning it into powder within ten kilometers.

And this is a weapon with an extremely high reuse rate and extremely low cost, and in the face of space-based weapons, the nuclear bomb is weakly exploded!

That's why Americans care so much about their country's space shuttle. If the sky defense is lost, maybe once the war breaks out, maybe the next moment there will be an overwhelming number of space-based weapons attacking the mainland, and it will be a disaster for the extermination. And the rhetoric of war has been prevalent for a hundred years!

Dr. John gave a warm speech, and after arriving at the scheduled time, all the inspectors left, and the pilot, wearing a snagged protective suit, slowly made it to the cabin with the help of everyone and the crew of the plane.

McVier William's excitement was hard to hide. Among so many pilots in the United States, he stood out and became the first real space shuttle pilot in the United States. Before, every time I saw Huaxia's plane, especially the master company's aircraft, the acceleration reached more than 30 times the earth's gravity speed, when others thought it was incredible, even if it was an iron body, it was about to be flattened, and all I had was envy! If I were to die, as long as I could test fly such a plane before I died, I might be willing!

Fortunately, after hard work and hard work, he made himself the only lucky person and had the honor to personally test the third-generation space shuttle developed by the country itself. There may be all kinds of shortcomings in this, but in any case it cannot hide the fact that the United States has its own space shuttle! A real space shuttle, not the kind of space shuttle that needs to be sent into space with the help of rocket power!

Taking a deep breath, McQuay pressed the button and began to familiarize himself with the interface that he had been familiar with countless times in the virtual machine. The more technology develops and becomes more complex, the simpler the operation and application become, and this truth has now been verified. Such an advanced and complex aircraft uses voice-controlled zhì, simple joystick control, and even a way to read the helmet link. It's not at all like an airplane more than 20 years ago, in a hurry. It's just that there are a lot of display screens, which can fully display every state of the aircraft.

The plane accelerates slightly, the powerful engine runs smoothly and there is hardly any vibration; However, even in this low roar, there is a terrifying power. It was a powerful drive that McQuay had never felt. Compared with the most advanced fighter jets in the United States today, two aircraft with a total thrust of 35 tons, this thrust directly reaches 100 tons, which is really exciting.

Taking a deep breath, after three seconds of warm-up, McQuay directly increased the power to 50%, and the plane exploded, like an arrow rushing out of the runway and flying into the sky. The acceleration was 13 times greater, and at that moment McCivall could hear the ** of the bones. Even after intensive training, it is only a few months, and it is still impossible to withstand such pressure for a long time. At this time, McQuay was very puzzled, why the master company allowed the plane to accelerate to 30 G (the gravity of the earth), but the pilot was unharmed.

Soon, the plane stabilized at Mach 4 speed, which is already the limit of a conventional fighter.

"McQuay, McQuay, this is the ground command center, now listen, accelerate, accelerate, we're going to measure the limits of the plane. Don't fly out of the atmosphere just yet. ”

"Roger!" McQuay felt the acceleration begin to decrease, and his body gradually adjusted, slowly pushing the switch to 70%. Once again, the plane began to accelerate, Mach 5!

"Report to the command center, now the speed is Mach 4, the shell of the aircraft has begun to heat up, and now the temperature is 180 degrees (well, the United States seems to use Fahrenheit, but in the novel, reading briefly is the first), and it is still rising, and the average temperature is about ten degrees per minute."

"Continue to accelerate on the premise of ensuring the safety of the aircraft, and rest assured that the aircraft has a thermal insulation layer, as long as the surface temperature does not exceed 280 degrees Celsius, it is safe."

"Roger, now the plane has started to climb to Mach 4.7 - oh God, the plane is starting to tremble violently, but it should be okay, this is the limit of high speed...... Oh no, the plane called the police, I'm going to slow down, God, what's wrong......" McQuay started to scramble at this time. Of course, the first time is to prepare to gradually reduce the engine power.

It's just that before McQuay could act, the sound of Kaka suddenly came from all sides of the plane, and then McQuay only felt that the whole world was shattered!

At this moment, the Americans collectively lost their voices, looking at the satellite pictures of the plane that was originally rapidly shuttling through the clouds, suddenly turned into debris flying all over the sky, and repeatedly felt that hope was shattered for a moment!
