Chapter 397: Ground Glide Test
Of course, the actual use time is far more than 40 hours, because once the aerospace plane enters space, the aerospace plane does not need to operate with high power at all. As long as the aerospace plane operates with low power, it can provide powerful power.
What's more, once it enters space, the aerospace plane no longer mainly consumes water fuel, because once it enters space, the aerospace plane will switch to mainly consuming electricity, and the consumption of water is extremely small.
Because at this time, the main thing driving the aerospace aircraft forward will be ion propulsion.
Therefore, this aerospace plane, when filled with water, can actually fly uninterrupted in space for several years, and can accelerate space equipment to one thousandth of the speed of light at the fastest, that is, every time
The level of 300 kilometers per second. Of course, it will take several years to accelerate the aerospace aircraft to reach this level.
Looking at the aerospace aircraft being filled with water, Zhang Yi said to Minister Shi and Minister Li on the side: "Everyone, what we are about to conduct is a ground taxiing test project."
The most important purpose of the ground taxiing test is to detect the condition of the engine. Generally speaking, this is a test that must be performed before a new aircraft takes off, and their aerospace aircraft of the Colorful Stone Group is no exception.
About ten minutes later, Xiang Juncai reported to Zhang Yihui: "Boss! Dear leaders, the aerospace plane is ready and can be tested at any time."
Zhang Yi nodded, and then said to Xiang Juncai: "Start the ground sliding test!"
Following Zhang Yi's order, everyone in the command center began to perform a series of operations.
"Connect to the aircraft control system, engine!"
"The engine starts normally, the fuel is normal, and the electrical system is normal."
"The navigation system is normal! The radar system is normal."
"...."
Loud sounds resounded throughout the control room. Since this was the first time for this aerospace plane to undergo a ground taxiing test, for safety reasons, there was no pilot on board the aerospace plane, and all work was done at the tower.
Completed under human wireless operation.
"Increase engine power and release the brake."
Then, under the strong thrust of the engine, the aerospace plane began to slowly slide forward on the runway, and the taxiing speed became faster and faster. When it reached the critical point of takeoff, the aerospace plane's engine was shut down.
, the plane began to slow down again, and the aerospace plane stopped at the other end of the ten-kilometer-long runway.
"Boss! The first unmanned taxiing test passed. Should we proceed to the next test?" Xiang Juncai asked.
"Okay! Let's start the next test."
Later, this afternoon, Zhang Yi and the others conducted several ground taxiing tests on this aerospace aircraft. During the test, the aerospace aircraft performed very well.
The critical point for takeoff can be reached when taxiing to more than 1,000 meters. If the aircraft is fully loaded, the critical point for takeoff is about six kilometers, which is completely better than the designed data.
After the ground taxiing test ended that afternoon, Zhang Yi asked the staff to send the aircraft into the airport hangar, and the test for the day ended.
When the test was over, Minister Li asked Zhang Yi: "Mr. Zhang! Our ground taxiing test went very smoothly today. I wonder when we can conduct a real test flight?"
"Minister Li! Minister Shi! Since today is the first ground taxiing test of this aerospace aircraft, we will conduct multiple ground taxiing tests on this aerospace aircraft in the next few days, and then we will also conduct multiple ground taxiing tests on this aerospace aircraft."
The spacecraft is undergoing comprehensive testing, and the first real test flight is expected to take place in ten days," Zhang Yi said.
"Okay! Mr. Zhang! We are waiting for your good news!" Minister Shi said happily.
"Minister Li! Minister Shi! There is something I hope you can pay attention to! It's like this. Now we are taxiing on the ground for testing. It doesn't matter. After all, we are taxiing on the runway of the base. But once the real flight test starts,
, then this matter cannot be hidden at all, and it will definitely be noticed by many people.
What's more, our "Overlord Gun"-class aerospace plane is so different from the planes we usually fly in the atmosphere that it is difficult not to attract attention.
And when the time comes, we will definitely conduct tests to break through the atmosphere. With so many satellites in the sky above the earth, it will be difficult for others not to know about this matter, especially some countries with ulterior motives. I hope you can be prepared."
Zhang Yi said.
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Shi Haiming and others nodded, and then said: "Mr. Zhang! Just follow your own original plan and conduct the test! The senior leaders of our Dahua Empire have already made arrangements for this matter.
Be prepared."
...
However, what Zhang Yu and the others didn't know was that while they were performing taxiing tests on the ground, the aerospace plane developed by their Colorful Stone Group was noticed by a beautiful reconnaissance satellite and took some photos.
Moreover, a staff member of the Beautiful Country discovered this situation and immediately came to the Beautiful Country and its senior office to report the situation to a Beautiful Country general.
"General, in an emergency, our country's reconnaissance satellite, a secret military base in a large province of the Dahua Empire, discovered a new large aircraft of the Dahua Empire. According to my guess, it is very likely that this aircraft is a large aircraft of the Dahua Empire.
The Chinese Empire's new bomber may even be an orbital bomber. I hope the general will pay attention to it." After finishing speaking, he handed the photo in his hand to the general.
After taking the photo, the general discovered that the photo taken by their national reconnaissance satellite was very clear. In the Daxi Province of the Great China Empire, a huge aircraft was parked on a very long runway, and here
Next to the plane, many ground staff were inspecting the plane.
Needless to say, the aircraft in these photos is the "Overlord Gun" class aerospace aircraft produced by the group!
After looking at the photo, the general slowly said, "Is this the newly developed large-scale military aircraft successfully developed by the Dahua Empire?"
The soldier who came in to report this general was a major from the Satellite Reconnaissance Department of the United States. After listening to the general's words, he said, "Yes, general, this plane is exactly in the Daxi Province of the Great China Empire."
It was discovered at a military base, and according to our previous observations, no military aircraft from the Dahua Empire were stationed in this military base more than 10 years ago. But now, it has appeared again, and it is a large-scale military aircraft newly developed by the Dahua Empire.
Chapter completed!
