Chapter 137 Space Flight Test

When the plane landed, Mu Xinghai had nothing but a little tiredness.

The plane was naturally dismantled, and the engineers trained by the master company themselves are carefully checking every detail.

Although 12 times the speed of sound is only a few minutes of flight time, the data is extremely valuable, which is the highest speed of a vehicle on Earth and in the atmosphere (except for those crazy electromagnetic rail guns); Therefore, although the master company has paid a high price for this, perhaps this aircraft will be scrapped again, but it provides a foundation for future development.

At the internal discussion meeting of the master company, the development direction of the future aircraft was clearly determined: the battle in the atmosphere, according to the available information, will still be the mainstream for at least a hundred years, and the space technology still needs to be improved, and the high price makes the development of space technology extremely slow; After more than ten years, everyone will find that the crazy space competition in the past ten years has actually emptied every coin of the country.

Many people believe that the development of space technology, after the initial madness and expansion, will be like the development of airplanes, because of various reasons, whether it is technology or finance, there will be a stage of relaxation, and this stage will also be the last chance for developing countries to catch up and surpass.

However, this is not the case within the master company, as the senior management of the master company, 16 people clearly proposed that in this development mode similar to cheating, the development of the master company will be incremental, and it is not even ruled out that in the next ten years, because of the accumulation is enough, there will be a blowout development; Therefore, it is necessary to think about the future now.

In the future, the development of space will be dominated by large-scale space bases and self-replicating space factories, and in terms of transportation, we can learn from the three-dimensional transportation conditions of the ground, sea, land and air. In the atmosphere, the development of aircraft will develop in a more flexible and rapid direction.

In addition, Zhao Qingyun, who has been committed to the safety of a master company, proposed: Is it possible to try to design a mecha! Although it is said that many countries now have their own mecha people, and even those who can be manually piloted, these technologies are too far away from real mecha technology! It could even be said that there is no entry at all.

The existing artificial driving machine is better than a live target! The movement is slow, cumbersome, and symbolic far beyond military significance.

And Zhao Qingyun obviously wants to create a real mecha technology, the basic requirements of this technology: flexible and lightweight, at least not bulkier than a person, fast moving, powerful firepower, and thick skin. But the mecha has a key technology: the drive technology, which the world has so far been unable to do. None of the existing drive technologies can meet the needs of mecha design, which is already a problem recognized by the world. The first point of the technology of hydraulic or pneumatic transmission is: in high-speed and high-intensity movements, the reliability is poor! The electric drive, on the other hand, is a little powerless to meet the needs of powerful and flexible transmission.

In the end, the project was put on hold here at the master company and was not considered. But the construction of an in-atmosphere vehicle is an indisputable result.

In a hurry, in the winter of 2046, the new aircraft of the master company, Dream No. 02, was officially finalized and produced. More than 200 national observer missions have once again arrived.

Although it is said that during the last flight test, there were a number of problems, but that happened after exceeding 12 times the speed of sound, and in fact, at 10 times the speed of sound, the aircraft was perfect. Of course, the pursuit of perfection may be the best quality of every astronaut.

Therefore, although the last time the state had already offered to provide the country with an aircraft, the master company refused - we do not provide defective products! Therefore, it has won unanimous praise from the state.

The problem that occurred in the last aircraft was not the problem of the master company in essence, but the insufficient strength of the superconducting wire provided by the state. This time, all the wires are reinforced with high-strength plastic, and some parts are more practically filled with foam. And all aspects of the structure of the aircraft have also been adjusted.

The shape of the new aircraft has hardly changed, but the weight has reached 30 tons, and the increased weight is all used to strengthen the structure of the aircraft.

This time, the three engines were fully turned on, and the speed of the aircraft was directly increased to 13 times the limit sound speed, and Mu Xinghai directly increased the power to the peak, 25 minutes, flying around the world, all countries in the world were collectively silent! 13 times the speed of sound, missiles can't catch up; Although it is said that it can be irradiated with lasers, the speed of the aircraft is too fast, and laser weapons are useless.

However, Mu Xinghai, who returned to the sky above the location of the master company, did not land, in the surprised eyes of everyone, he accelerated again, only 3 minutes later, directly broke through the atmosphere, and 3 minutes later, found the space station of Huaxia, but because there was no other deceleration mechanism, and there was no air resistance in space, Mu Xinghai just had time to release a friendly greeting, and hurried by.

Turning off all the power of the plane, under the acceleration of the Earth's gravity, it gradually climbed to the first cosmic speed, about 280,000 kilometers per hour, almost 23 times the speed of sound.

The plane was hanging upside down, and Mu Xinghai looked at the earth through the cabin cover, with a thrilling beauty. Although this is not the first time I have observed the earth in this way, I have seen it before through the spacecraft of Guò country; But he piloted the plane himself, and Zhang Jingyuan personally promised that this plane would be his own car, and this kind of satisfaction of coming to the universe for a ride is something that the state cannot provide under any circumstances.

For the first time, Mu Xinghai was so fortunate to be able to enter the master company! Although it is said that Master Company is not the first private company to send a vehicle into space; Not even in the top ten; But the one that can take off directly from the ground with such a carrier as an airplane is definitely the first! And this technology is now only mastered by the United States and Russia; But the cost price is too high, not to mention that the technology is not mature, and now it is still in the process of research and development, perhaps, the master company in this area is at the forefront of the world!

Turning on the camera, Mu Xinghai began to record a commemorative short video of his first space flight. There are many documentaries about seeing the Earth from space, but shooting it yourself - that's the real enjoyment!

The sky in the distance, no, it should be space, a little sunlight through the earth's atmosphere, it is so beautiful. However, thinking that there was no corresponding protection, Mu Xinghai had to regretfully start the plane and put the plane in the shadow of the earth. Without protection, strong sunlight can burn the skin and even cause blindness.

After 90 minutes of space detour, Mu Xinghai began to return.

This success is of great significance, and the master company has truly entered the most high-end club on the planet! And yes, a strong rush!
