Chapter 159: Co-Prosperity

When the National Police Department officially restricted the departure of scientific researchers from island countries on the 24th, more than 30 aerospace-related engineers had successfully traveled to China and obtained legal status.

Zhang Chuanyong's speech and the treatment received by the island-nation engineers in this incident led the island-nation public opinion in a strange direction: Asia's co-prosperity.

Of course, this is one of the popular public opinions, but now with the exodus, it occupies a mainstream position.

Fueled by the media, more and more people believe that Huaguo is now the world's largest industrial strength, steel production is beating the world, and the educated population is exaggerated to the point of unbelievable, which is simply the invincible enhanced version of Aramco plus on the eve of its rise!

There is an ever-increasing number of innovations, there is preferential treatment for researchers, there are smooth promotion channels, and the air there is full of the fragrance of freedom.

And this trend of public opinion also happens to coincide with several things, or the causes of the latter:

The An-1250 giant transport aircraft was successfully developed and the Xinyuan-2A was ready for launch.

Not to mention the An-1250 giant transport aircraft, these days intensive test flights, and the first aircraft B4043 has already obtained the official flight qualification.

The cargo compartment is vertically placed in the front and rear columns, one is placed on the back, and a sharp cone fairing is put on the front, and the three 5-meter diameter arrow body An 1250 of the Xinyuan No. 2 A are carried at one time, and the secondary part and the other two pointed cone fairings are transported by the Il-76.

Two planes, one super rocket and it was transported.

When the route information of the An-1250 was announced on the civil aviation website, a large group of photography enthusiasts squatted in advance.

The rocket body more than 40 meters long on its back is insignificant to the An-1250, and when shooting on the ground, it is basically covered by a huge body and cannot see anything.

With a total load of less than 150 tons, the eight engines easily pulled the plane up, and then staged a "cover-out" scene in front of numerous cameras.

And the An-1250's forte, as it rises through the clouds and rushes out of a wide open area, as if clearing the sky.

Such a scene has been uploaded on the Internet these days very hot, and no one who sees such a giant plane can't help but be amazed.

Compared with one of them, the C2 of the island country has a maximum take-off mass of more than 100 tons, which looks unusually small.

If none of this represents the glory of Asia, what is?

On May 25, Lao Ma's heavy Falcon was launched as scheduled, and this rocket can hit a maximum payload of 69 tons, but this time only a 15-ton second-generation Dragon spacecraft was sent up.

It's a cargo spacecraft, but it's not on a transport mission, it's reusable anyway, and it's going to drift in low-Earth orbit for 10 days before landing.

The three recoverable arrows after the separation of the Heavy Falcon were all successfully recovered, which was regarded as a perfect test shot.

With a ground thrust of 2,228 tons and a take-off mass of 1,421 tons, the Heavy Falcon won the crown of the world's strongest rocket in service in one fell swoop.

However, few media congratulated it, and some of them were also ridiculous, and there were very few sincere praises, but they also expressed regret.

Because this laurel heavy falcon can only be kept for 4 days.

On the same day, the final assembly of Xinyuan-2A was completed at the No. 2 station of the Qiongzhou Cosmodrome, and the assembly building was briefly opened due to the relatively large range of hoisting movement, allowing people to see the whole picture of the rocket clearly.

Due to the width limitation of the launch pad, the Xinyuan No. 2 armor is placed diagonally, but it still does not affect its domineering.

Xinyuan-2A has a take-off thrust of 4,700 tons, a take-off mass of 3,500 tons, and a low-earth orbit capacity of 135 tons.

That's a far larger number than the Falcon 9, and it's the world's last giant rocket to surpass the Saturn V in 50 years since its launch in November 1967.

If the LEO capacity of 100 tons is used to distinguish the giant rocket, Aramco's Saturn V is 118 tons; 95 tons of Soyuz's N1 rockets and 105 tons of "Energy" rockets; Xinyuan No. 2A topped the list with a capacity of 135 tons.

This is the most powerful rocket ever made by mankind, and even if the Heavy Falcon is not recovered, it will take the two together to compare to the Xinyuan 2 A.

Its appearance was a major victory for the CBC configuration, which created a giant rocket by combining heavy rockets.

The Xinyuan-2A with a maximum width of 20 meters (counting the connectors and gaps) was placed there, giving people the feeling of standing up to the sky, and in order to project mass to the moon, the height of the Xinyuan-2A in the three-stage configuration reached 122 meters, surpassing the 110 meters of the Saturn V rocket.

Whether in terms of appearance or performance, Xinyuan No. 2 A has brought a powerful shock to the world.

In front of Xinyuan 5, which deserves to be the first place, the island country is embarrassed to take out its H series rockets when they look at it.

This is a recognized super rocket that can complete a manned landing on the moon, something that even the alliance can't do, and now the Chinese can do it.

For that reason, if you identify as Asian, you have to admit that this is a great achievement.

It was also at this moment that the Lucia Space Agency, NACA, NASA, and ESA really felt that a new race to the moon had begun.

The pressure brought by Xinyuan No. 2A is as great as its size, and Director Claire very reluctantly wished the launch results of Xinyuan No. 2A when he was caught by reporters, and then put the rocket model on his desk, and he had to pick it up every day to take a look.

The team of the "ace pigeon" SLS rocket of later generations worked day and night under such tremendous pressure, and went all out to complete the first launch of the SLS rocket this year.

However, after the release of this blockbuster news, a proposal from the space agency added a fire to the world with a posture of not being too big to see the excitement.

The space agency showed that it announced the space training system internally, as well as the list of the first batch of five people, and then announced it to the public in a high-profile manner.

At that time, Tang Weitian was still on the Tongchuan test bench to conduct a 500-second long test test of the YF130 prototype.

With a huge investment, in just two months, the prototype of YF130 produced 9 sets of 6 versions, and finally the mass production model was determined on May 27, and the two prototypes were tested for a long time.

These prototypes alone tossed out more than 200 million, which was completely impossible in the past, but for the sake of the Dawning Project, the Sixth Academy completed the design finalization of the YF130 at an astonishing speed.

Tang Weitian has increased the combustion pressure of YF130 while trying to ensure the performance as much as possible, so that the engine junction is more simplified and the reliability is improved.

When he heard about the amazing space training program, the first thing he said was: "No, I'm going to keep an eye on the YF130, and then there are two projects, the YF135 and the YF90, where can I go?" ”

But his colleagues couldn't help but say that Tang Weitian couldn't make the decision, they still wanted to go to heaven.

Tang Weitian doesn't go, this thing can't be done, how will they go in the future?

These colleagues even invited Zhou Rui over and asked the latter to do ideological work, and the superiors also gave a preliminary training plan, saying that the space agency had not yet reached the point where it could not operate without a certain expert, so that Tang Weitian could go with confidence.
