Zhang Hao stood on the viewing platform, quietly watching the sky plane in the distance.

The overall structure of the new aerospace aircraft was borrowed from the shape of a fighter jet. The shape is sharp so that it can fly faster with lower resistance in the atmosphere.

However, it is only borrowed from the appearance design, not copied. It can only be said that the style is similar. In fact, the shape of the aerospace aircraft may be a little more exaggerated.

In order to bring the aerospace aircraft to the limit of economy, it reached a terrifying length of 120 meters, with a slightly flattened fuselage with a height of 6 meters and a width of 8 meters, three pairs of front and rear wings, six wings, a single wing length of 15 meters, and a fuselage wingspan of 38 meters. The height of the landing gear is 2.7 meters. The landing gear is located in the middle of the wing.

Among them, the tail rudder, one on the top and one on the bottom, has a length/height, both of which are 1.8 meters.

Behind the fuselage, on the rudders, there were three plasma engines, on six wings, two on each wing. All engines are small, but the thrust of a single unit also reaches 15 to 17 tons. Overall thrust, at least more than 220 tons.

But the shuttle's own weight is a bit large. The only thing that provides energy to the aircraft are three small nuclear islands, distributed in the front, middle and back of the aircraft. Moreover, nuclear island protection devices, plasma engines, etc., are extremely bulky, most of them are solid steel plates, or even heavy lead plates.

As a result, the aircraft weighs as much as 140 tons. If you add personnel, some necessary safety protection facilities, etc., the weight of the space shuttle can reach 150~170 tons. As a result, the payload of the aircraft is only about 50 tons. And for the sake of safety, the design load is actually only 35 tons.

Only with the operation of the aerospace aircraft and the accumulation of experience enough, will the load be gradually increased.

In addition, the plasma engine of the aircraft adopts the technology of C-type plasma engine, that is, the hydrogen-oxygen fuel turbine plasma engine. After all, the aircraft is too small, and the power of the nuclear island is also low, and it is too technically difficult to produce plasma completely from electrical energy.

In contrast, if you let hydrogen and oxygen burn first, you can directly supply 'steam' at a temperature of more than 2,000 degrees or even 3,000 degrees, and then ionize it much easier. Of course, this is more technically demanding for the engine.

At this time, the aerospace aircraft is in the final spray. In addition to spraying the logo of Dayang Group, this spraying is more important for the electromagnetic stealth coating.

The Ocean Group is already beginning to make all-round preparations for future wars.

Now it's the electromagnetic stealth coating, and the next step is to develop the more difficult optical stealth coating.

As for the research of formations and magic weapons, the Dayang Group basically ranks second, and the Xuanhuang Group is the one who has worked hardest in the research of formations and other methods.

As for Ximeng, it is indeed making every effort to deduce the next realm of the "Nine Heavens" exercises.

The various members of the entire Tian Yuan Star Civilization are forging ahead in different fields according to their respective abilities.

Everyone has their own focus, but the rest of the research will not be left behind, and everyone will have to keep communicating and even competing. If you don't have to carry it, if you leave too much behind, you will have to pay a high price to buy it.

This kind of development mode of competition and cooperation is very wise. Coupled with the adjustment of market laws, the civilization of Tianyuan Star is making rapid progress. The progress of this civilization is all-encompassing. It includes not only science, spiritual practice, industry and commerce, but also culture, education, morality, and so on.

Zhang Hao's idea is very clear, that is, he wants to go his own way. If we continue to take the technical means with magic and magic weapons as the core, we will not be able to catch up with the height of the Xuanhuang civilization in a short period of time, let alone surpass the Honghe civilization from the magic weapon technology route.

Therefore, the vitality and hope of Tian Yuan Star should be built on a brand-new, material science system.

No, there are already two technologies that surpass the Xuanhuang civilization in application: rail guns and aerospace aircraft, and perhaps plasma engines and electromagnetic field technologies that have been corresponding.

However, Dayang Group did not give up the research of formations and magic weapons, but only ranked second. Anyway, there are many talents in Dayang Group, and some people go to research.

It is also for these reasons that the current aerospace aircraft is completely built using material science and technology.

However, in the later stage, it will be strengthened by using all the technologies that can be found on the Tian Yuan Star. The ultimate goal is to become a top-notch aerospace fighter, not just a transport aircraft.

After the aerospace aircraft completed the inspection and test run, it was noon on the fifth day, Zhang Hao, the senior management of the Ocean Group, the senior management of ASEAN, and even the distinguished guests from all over the world officially attended the viewing platform of the new airport, looking forward to a miracle performance - the aerospace aircraft flying directly from the ground into space, the aircraft that can get rid of the huge gravitational pull of the Tianyuan Star.

The significance of the aerospace aircraft is not the difference between the age of wooden ships and the age of steel warships. This is the progress of the times.

Liu Xinyu also came in person this time, standing beside Zhang Hao. Liu Xinyu is still standing next to the grown prince Liu Xinhai.

Liu Xinhai's eyebrows are similar to Zhang Hao for six points, and the other four points are similar to Liu Xinyu.

However, Liu Xinyu came over today, and there are still important things, that is, the continent of the land in the north and the continent of the hidden land. These two places have always been a bit marginal, and there are no holy places or countries that are too handy. It's just that I've been honest in the past, and there's no reason for everyone to do it.

However, recently, the country of Qixia, the Xuanzhen Sect, and the Liang Dynasty are using troops against the two northern continents. The reason is that there are a lot of bandits here, and it has become a natural shelter for many bandits, and it must be cleaned up.

The two northern continents do not have many populations, and there has been a massive loss of population over the years, and there are even many people who have volunteered to be 'ruled'.

But the problem still arises, and not all of them agree. There are also some smaller shrines, large families, countries, etc.

At present, the whole world is dominated by development, and wars are basically confined to small areas. Wanting to annex two continents is not a small move.

Moreover, there are still many countries in Ximeng, that is, Hetu World. Everyone is keenly aware that this matter is not simple, and they also jumped out to oppose it.

Liu Xinyu is about to ask what Dayang Group and Zhang Hao mean. The influence of Dayang Group is far-reaching, and the statement of Dayang Group is very important.

However, Zhang Hao did not answer immediately, but pulled Liu Xinyu over to watch the test flight of the aerospace aircraft. Zhang Hao also needs time to think about this matter.

At this time, in terms of aerospace aircraft, the person in charge, Ge Dong, has already announced the start. The most important systems of the new aerospace aircraft are the electrical system and computer control. Therefore, the general person in charge is Ge Dong.

However, the specific person in charge is actually Ge Dong's disciple. Ge Dong has to serve more as a responsible person - once something happens, Zhang Hao and the senior management of Dayang Group will directly hold Ge Dong accountable.

The massive hangar slowly opened, and a faint humming sound, the characteristic of jet engines, was heard. Because of the use of hydrogen-oxygen fuel turbine plasma technology, when the engine is just started, the plasma system does not work directly, but needs to be preheated with hydrogen-oxygen fuel first.

By the way, the power of hydrogen and oxygen fuel is enough to propel the space plane to taxi and even fly in the aura layer.

The product of hydrogen and oxygen fuel is water, but the temperature is as high as more than 2,000 degrees or even 3,000 degrees Celsius. Actually, it's a flame. The essence of flame is not burning, but hot molecules in intense motion!

With a faint blue tail flame behind the engine, the plane slowly slid into the runway and began to accelerate.

After taxiing for 6 seconds, the speed of the space plane has reached the take-off speed. At this time, the light blue tail flame behind the engine erupted more than ten meters, the plane roared and raised its head, and the 120-meter behemoth rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow.

There was a roar between the heavens and the earth, and the plane broke through the speed of sound within 2 seconds of takeoff, and a circle of sound barrier clouds erupted in front of the entire plane.

Then the plane climbed rapidly against atmospheric resistance. The speed increases dramatically, and the flight altitude also increases rapidly. The flight slope is actually showing an upward trend.

In the end, the plane was completely at an elevation angle of 60 degrees, and crashed into the clouds.

Behind them, a white trail was left like a road to heaven.

Many masters flew directly into the sky to observe. However, he saw that the tail flame behind the aerospace plane was getting longer and longer, and it had been dragged to more than thirty meters, and it only took a few seconds for the aerospace plane to break through the aura layer.

At this point, a heavy gravitational pull appears, but at this point the plane is fast enough and continues to accelerate. It's just that the acceleration is a little slower.

Then the aerospace plane stubbornly flew out of the atmosphere at an elevation angle of 60 degrees - an altitude of 1,800 kilometers, and then began to slow down the slope and gradually continued to climb at an elevation angle of 30 degrees.

In fact, after the space plane flies to an altitude of 1,000 kilometers, the air buoyancy has almost disappeared, but the gravitational force of the earth has not decreased much. After an altitude of 1,000 km, the aerospace plane was propelled into space almost entirely by engines.

After the space plane reaches an orbital altitude of 3,000 kilometers, it takes less than 2 minutes!

At this time, the wake on the ground has not even completely dissipated.

This efficiency is almost twice that of the previous laser launch spacecraft, and the carrying capacity has been increased several times, and the safety is much stronger than that of laser launching.

The most important thing is that it is better to handle – the aircraft itself can be controlled by itself, and the ground facilities, etc., can be reduced to a runway.

Zhang Hao looked at the trail connecting heaven and earth, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. But Zhang Hao didn't say anything immediately, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the technicians came to inform him that the plane had safely docked with the Shuguang space base, and Zhang Hao turned his head and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to visit in your busy schedule." The test flight of the aerospace aircraft was a complete success.

It is expected that by next summer at the latest, the aerospace aircraft will be in mass production, and then it will be available for public sale.

Even, we plan that the space plane will be sold to private individuals, which means that space commercial channels are allowed and are open to private individuals. The future of space will belong to everyone!

For specific matters, please consult the Ministry of Commerce of the Ocean Group, which is the former diplomatic and negotiation department. ”

Some of the business representatives who came to visit by the way listened to this, and their eyes lit up.

Previous spacecraft launches were not capable of operating even if they were open to private individuals. But aerospace planes are different. It's an airplane, and it's not like you've never seen it!
