"100% power generation, wing surface temperature 7, rudder surface activity normal, fuel stock 105% ......"

Wang Yan quickly reported the data of the manual inspection, and Chang Lihai also compared them with the AI self-inspection report one by one, and after confirming that they were all aligned, he gently pushed the throttle valve to 10% after lifting the wheel brake.

Outside the airport, the reporters watched intently as the Tengyun's fuselage gently pressed forward, and then a dark blue tail flame erupted from the rear of the fuselage, which was extremely conspicuous even in the sun.

Suzanne screamed along with the crowd, while also noticing the skyrocketing live broadcast room.

As early as when the aerospace plane left the country, the traffic in the live broadcast room began to grow, after all, CBS has a huge influence all over the world, and at this time it is the only foreign media that broadcasts live, people from all walks of life are flocking in.

And among them, there is also Director Robert, who is full of question marks.

When he saw Tengyun, who had lowered his flaps and turned on the engine, his mind went blank.

He remembered that when he was at the Hexagon, just after the "August 12" incident, the Air Force nicknamed the mysterious plane "Thunderstorm."

After all, the way the nickname is taken is closely related to the aircraft producer, the situation and its own characteristics, the first impression of the snow bird is fast, which is the unprecedented speed of the Air Force, and the second is that the rumbling sound along the way is very exaggerated, and it is very appropriate to describe it as a "thunderstorm".

During this time, the Hexagon was 100% sure that the "thunderstorm" did not fly out again, and it only needs to pay attention to the public content of the other side.

The Air Force, which had seen the Mach 12 monster, was directly anxious and demanded the resurrection of the SR91 "Goddess of Dawn" that had been aborted in the last century, and that design could fly Mach 6, although it was still only half of the "Thunderstorm".

Lockheed Martin, who had previously proposed the project, took the job, but the SR91 was rejected in 1985, with only an approximate indicator, and it was almost a headache to be ready to start all over again.

At that time, they turned to NACA for help, and NACA also expressed interest, because the "thunderstorm" showed them the viability of an aerospace aircraft.

Mach 60,000 meters and Mach 12, which has met or even exceeded the needs of the atmospheric stage of the aerospace aircraft, has the potential to fly out of the atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, more than a month later, Loma is still struggling with whether the power of the SR91 is conventional or nuclear, and the specific design has no clue, and the Chinese have already turned his idea into reality first.

And Robert was even more surprised when he saw Tengyun's airframe, he tried very hard to find the parts that seemed to be discardable, but found that the whole plane was designed smoothly and naturally, and there were no boosters that needed to be discarded.

It was a real spaceplane that didn't need a booster and could carry every part of its body into space, and it was more radical and unveiled earlier than he had imagined.

Robert couldn't imagine how much of a change this ghost would bring to the space industry, at least it would make it more likely that the crazy space programs on the other side of the sea would be realized, and the price of going into space would be much lower than the recovery of rockets.

Thinking about the Mars landing plan, which is still in the demonstration stage, I feel that I am still posing and preparing to start, and the other party is already accelerating to cross the line.

If the current situation of the world's aerospace industry is compared to a race, 90% of the players are not qualified to play, and the remaining 10% can only stand on the runway and have no strength to run, and the remaining half has three or four tenacious squirming, the second place throws off most of the third place, and the first place has been set in a loop.

Robert, who has always been a little distrustful of God, also began to pray unstandardly, hoping that Jesus would see that for the sake of God's people, and then let the space plane succeed, and NACA really began to fall behind in all aspects.

In his nervous prayers, Chang Lihai was able to confirm that the airplane was in good condition and had reached the conditions for take-off.

The tower immediately passed the message to the walkie-talkie on Serov's chest:

"Commander-in-chief, Tengyun is ready to take off."

"Check the runway, I can't wait to see it fly!"

As soon as Seryov finished speaking, the big guy took the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button:

"President Lin, where are you?"

After a few seconds, there was a rustling sound on the walkie-talkie, and then Lin Ju:

"I'm on the top floor of the tower, and there's an auto-tracking camera here, and it's the best."

The big guy looked up at the tower, his eyes were pierced by the light, and then he continued to pick up the walkie-talkie:

"Is this looking at an airplane (prolonged), or is it looking at a beauty?"

“……”

Lin Ju hurriedly checked to confirm that it was not a public channel now, but there were still at least a dozen people who could hear it, and he was speechless while breathing a sigh of relief.

"I didn't understand what you said."

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have two pairs of ears listening over there."

After the big guy finished speaking, he immediately made a boo gesture to the people next to him, and then several people gathered around to reduce the interference of the sound of the cloud engine.

Sure enough, there was an "ah" scream over the intercom, and several elderly chief engineers and researchers smiled together.

Lin Ju on the other side was also full of black lines, and he didn't go anywhere in the base, so no.

"How do you know? Seryov said it? ”

"Hey, so many experts from the Space Agency are not blind, when will you, President Lin, take a female assistant to hang around? That's how I came over with Aunt Lingjiang thirty years ago. ”

“……”

On the 360-degree closed observation deck on the roof of the tower, Lin Ju directly threw the walkie-talkie and pulled Yu Man, who was looking down at the crack in the floor, back in front of the tracking camera screen.

"The old man is like this when he is old, don't look at their academic qualifications, in fact, they are no different from the uncle downstairs, don't pay attention to them."

"Ah...... Isn't it disrespectful to them? ”

"I actually think they'll respect you more."

“……”

Looking at each other, Yu Man went to count the cracks on the floor again.

……

When Tengyun gradually increased the power of the engine, there was movement in the sky, two two-seater J-20Bs roared by, they will provide a short time to accompany the flight, after all, the faster Tengyun climbs, the more fuel will be saved, and it will soon exceed the limit of Mach three.

When the two fighters roared past, the movement of the clouds on the ground also increased sharply, and the nozzles of the ten engines spit out tail flames at the same time longer than ordinary aviation engines, because they were close together, as if they were connected.

They can provide 70 tons of thrust when taking off on the ground, and even 110 tons at high altitude, so the 190-ton body does not look bulky, but just slides out briskly as soon as the brakes are released.

Although all of them take into account the ultra-high altitude and high speed, the design of Tengyun is obviously more conservative, which is mainly to compromise on the storage of cryogenic fuel and reduce the overall manufacturing cost, while the Xuehu uses a triangular body + central lifting body.

The engine whistling of methane-fueled engines is very different from that of a regular airplane, less high-pitched, more of a rocket violence, and the sound of 10 superimposed engines makes the entire airport inaudible.

The huge gray-white body quickly swept past the dense crowd next to the runway, and only pulled up and climbed at 3,700 meters of the runway, and at that moment its tail flame became longer and brighter, apparently turning on the afterburner.

Now the course is pointing southeast, and it can accelerate and climb all the way.

It's 11:35 p.m. (Seriously)
