"You mean, I can get in here?"

CBS's interview van was parked outside the valley leading into the Xinyuan base, where there is also a checkpoint.

Suzanne poked her head out to look at the guards on guard, asking curiously.

The guard checked their invitations, confirmed that it was correct, called out an SUV, pointed and said:

"With this car, you can't enter the production area, he will take you to the airport, where there is a separate area to provide electricity, water and food, please be sure to stay within the designated area, this is a sensitive control area, and you may be arrested for spies if you move at will."

"Of course, we must be obedient!"

Suzanne raised her hand in a cheer, revealing her large breasts in nonchalant.

Yesterday, she was still following up on the accelerator project in Beijing, but suddenly received an invitation from Xinyuan to be an invited reporter for CBS to broadcast the first flight of a new spacecraft live the next day.

This was really unexpected, Suzanne immediately inquired secretly, and found that none of the foreign media around her were invited, and immediately smelled the opportunity for big news.

She flew to Chengdu overnight with a film crew and managed to rent a car for an interview, and came here with her ID and invitation letters, knowing that 99% of people would be stopped here by checkpoints.

Even if she doesn't enter the production area, she can accept being a "wall climber" outside the airport, and she may be the closest foreigner to China's most mysterious space company.

The interview vehicle followed the guide car all the way through the forest, and finally reached an open area, where the barbed wire fence around the base runway was immediately visible.

A high ground next to the fence was fenced off and erected, and she saw a large number of peers at a glance, but basically it was Chinese media, and there might be a hundred people at a glance.

There was also a SWAT riot van parked aside, and a dozen elite SWAT officers in full gear were watching the movements of the others vigilantly, their hands on top of the weapons on their chests.

“Jesus！”

The two photographers immediately parked their cars and began to move the equipment for erection, and although I don't know why they were the only ones invited, the mere fact that they entered the place was worth bragging about.

Looking at the tall factories inside the base, it can be counted as a powerful industrial park alone.

Suzanne urged the equipment to prepare, and immediately took out her ZTE X20YE (lunar commemorative appearance, satellite direct connection baseband), and began to search for the link "Jingwei" satellite network.

Although the traffic of satellite direct connection is extremely expensive, and the satellite version of the mobile phone is also sold for more than 10,000 yuan, countless media people have proved that satellite direct connection + Jingwei satellite network can provide high-speed Internet access services around the world, and there is no need to worry about the problem of slow network response in hot spots.

So Suzanne still bought a 50G mega satellite traffic package that costs $499 after the discount, just in case of emergency.

The live broadcast forwarding uses a much more cost-effective Internet antenna, which is also connected to the latitude and longitude satellite network, but the receiver is not as convenient as the mobile terminal.

Suzanne's CBS team was actually the latest, and she communicated with other Chinese counterparts for a while, but did not get any useful information.

She pointed the camera at the crowded airport at the base and turned on the webcast.

CBS was so influential that even the unannounced live broadcast room quickly flooded in, and immediately became interested in the location in the title of the broadcast, and the number of viewers stabilized at about 50,000.

Then the reporters waited, and no official personnel from Xinyuan came out to contact them, but no one left, and they waited for about 40 minutes, and finally saw something unusual.

The gate of the huge final installation hangar at one end of the runway slowly pushed outward, and the camera immediately aimed at that direction and pulled to the maximum, but the final installation hangar is one kilometer away from here, and it is not clear after zooming in, and it seems that there is no light on inside, and it is even darker in the outside sun.

Ten minutes after the hangar door opened, a pointy white nose protruded from the shadows.

Next exposed to sunlight are two trailers connected in tandem, flashing warning lights to warn people not to approach.

The 55-meter-long gray-white color of the Sky Plane was removed from the hangar little by little, and then its side wings, delta wings, and vertical tail were fully revealed, and the 24-meter wingspan made it look like it was built for high speed.

But the main attraction is the large rectangular air intakes under the wings, which take up nearly half of the width, giving it a rather chunky front.

This is, of course, due to the fact that it requires up to 10 engines in the tail section, and in order to save fuel in the atmospheric flight section, it is necessary to increase the air intake as much as possible and reduce the consumption of liquid oxygen.

Although the core of the TP-25's atmospheric part is also derived from the WCR09, it can support an altitude of up to 70 to 80 kilometers due to the use of cryogenic fuel and self-waiting oxidizers, which is very close to space and can touch the edge of the Kármán line.

However, when actually flying, it will still switch to the gas tip working mode at 60 kilometers and fly until it flies into space.

When this plane, which was very rugged because of the huge air inlet design, appeared, the reporters immediately knew who the protagonist of the day was, and kept guessing.

A reporter from a professional magazine believes that it is a high-speed aircraft that flew over the island country before, and it was quickly recognized by some people, but the opposition is not small, thinking that it is a military aircraft that is highly secretive, and it has already flown and there is no need to invite them again.

While they were arguing, the base gave its own answer, running over the crowd next to it and erecting a huge banner:

"The first prototype of the 'Tengyun Project' No. 001, the first flight ceremony of the single-stage orbit aircraft"

The media who were invited over had some aerospace knowledge and quickly understood the meaning of single-stage orbit.

The magazine reporter, who had initially guessed that he was the protagonist of 8.12, immediately screamed in spite of the image, unable to believe what he was seeing, and only professionals could understand what it meant.

Susanna, who also made up for her knowledge of astronautics, also covered her mouth and lost her voice, and the photographer closest to her was still confused, he could only say that he knew a little about astronautics, and he didn't understand why they reacted so much.

"Heidel...... Have you seen Wang Li's Space Army? ”

"Oh, of course, I've watched the whole series."

Suzanne shook her head incredulously and looked at the soaring sky plane inside the airport:

"Then you must remember that there is a clip in it where they glide off from the ground and into space with a space shuttle, right?"

Heidel: "Of course I remember, that ...... Neither the fuel nor the thrust are enough, right, I know that the shuttle is just an empty shell, and even if it is full of fuel, it will not be able to go to space on its own. ”

"But Tengyun can, it realizes this impossibility, completely takes off from the ground, does not need the help of other rockets, and goes directly into space.

This is the future, and this is something that can only happen in the future and in science fiction movies! We are witnessing the future and witnessing miracles! ”

It's been a very busy day today, and I only have one chapter left......

The next update is delayed until noon tomorrow (or maybe in the afternoon), and there may be fewer updates to move on Sunday and Monday
