Chapter 412 Manned Spaceflight
It didn't take long for the "Overlord Gun" aerospace plane to successfully break through the atmosphere.
"Reporting to the command center, the "Overlord Gun" has successfully broken through the atmosphere and reached low-Earth orbit. Everything is normal with the "Overlord Gun" and is now flying towards the geostationary orbit according to the original plan." When the aerospace plane broke through the atmosphere, Chen Zhi
Report the current situation to the command center immediately.
"Okay! Carry out the mission according to the original plan." Xiang Juncai said.
Although it was said that they were only conducting a manned test flight of this aerospace plane this time, even so, they came with a mission.
This time Chen Zhi and the others will connect the cabin sections of the two space stations to the core module according to the original plan, and since this space station is a permanent space station, manual assistance is still needed during the connection process.
After a while, Chen Zhi and the others turned off the engine of the aerospace plane, because at this time the speed of the aerospace plane had increased to more than 10 times the sound. In other words, in less than half an hour, the aerospace plane could fly around the earth.
lock up.
Although the aerospace plane's motive has been turned off, only under the influence of inertia, the aerospace plane continues to fly toward the earth's geostationary orbit.
Chen Zhi and Ren Hongying looked at the blue earth through the window of the aerospace plane. They were very excited. Although it was not the first time for them to observe the earth like this, they had done so through various channels before.
He watched various videos and images, but this time, he went to space in person and watched the earth from the window of the space plane, so his mood was incomprehensible to outsiders.
This time, both Chen Zhi and Ren Hongying were very lucky to be able to become the pilots of the "Overlord Gun" aerospace plane. Although Qicaishi Group is not the first private company to send a spacecraft into space.
, and it is not the first private company to carry out manned spaceflight.
However, this is definitely the first company to master the manufacturing of aerospace planes. Although, how many countries in the world are theoretically capable of mastering the manufacturing of aerospace planes? However, even these countries want to manufacture aerospace planes.
, the difficulty is not generally high, and at the same time, the money and time required to invest are also very huge.
At this time, Chen Zhi took out the camera given to him by the company and began to record his first space journey in his life.
The speed of the aerospace plane is very fast. In less than an hour, today the plane has arrived at the location of the core module of the space station in geostationary orbit, and, under the guidance of the ground, has begun to assist in the assembly of the two modules of the space station.
part.
"This is the ground command center. Please keep the aerospace plane relative to the core module of the space station and open the cabin of the aerospace plane."
"receive!"
After receiving the order from the ground command center, Chen Zhi first drove the aerospace plane very close to the core module of the space station and kept it relatively close to the core module of the space station. Then he opened the airport of the aerospace plane and released the space station's core module.
A cabin section.
However, at this time, they do not need to connect the space station's cabins manually. The intelligent control system of the space station's cabin will control it by itself. After the space station is connected, they only need to tighten the safety of the space station's cabin.
Soon, the cabin of the space station was successfully connected to the core cabin under the control of the intelligent system. Chen Zhi operated the manipulator of the space plane to screw on the safety of the connection part of the space station, and then released the second module.
cabin, and repeat the previous work.
When all the cabin sections of the space station were connected, Chen Zhi and the others started to return home in the aerospace plane.
The entire aerospace plane test flight and mission lasted a total of four hours.
When the aerospace plane successfully landed on the runway of the base, everyone in the base gave a huge cheer, whether it was the employees of the Colorful Stone Group, the soldiers of the base, or the reporters who were invited to the scene.
The manned test flight of the Colorful Stone Group's aerospace plane was a complete success, and its significance is very huge. This marks that the Colorful Stone Group has truly entered the space club that represents the most high-end technology on earth.
After the successful test flight, Zhang Yi ordered the production of five "Overlord Gun" class aerospace planes on the spot, and named them "Overlord Gun" No. 1 to 5 respectively.
Of course, in addition to the Qicaishi Group's own production of five aerospace planes, the Dahua Empire's aerospace army also placed an order for 12 aerospace planes from the Qicaishi Group. At the same time, the Dahua Empire's aerospace department also ordered them three aerospace planes.
Aircraft orders, that is to say, the officials of the Dahua Empire placed a total of 15 aerospace aircraft orders with their Colorful Stone Group.
Since the "Overlord Gun" class aerospace plane uses many new technologies, new materials, new processes and many of the latest technologies in the world, the cost of this aerospace plane is also very high. Not to mention other things, just this one
The prototype of the aerospace aircraft, that is, the "Overlord Gun" prototype that just flew, costs tens of billions. You must know that this is just a prototype. There are still many functions on it that have not been installed because the technology is not yet in place.
Above the aerospace plane.
Once those technologies mature in the future, such as neutrino radar, quantum radar, neutrino communication and other technologies, the cost will definitely be higher.
The Dahua Empire officially ordered 15 aerospace planes from their Colorful Stone Group. The unit price given by the Colorful Stone Group was 13 billion per plane, and the official Dahua Empire did not make a counter-offer.
Because the officials of the Dahua Empire knew that they and the Colorful Stone Group spent a huge amount of money in the process of developing this aerospace plane.
The successful test flight of this aerospace plane is very positive for the employees of the entire Colorful Stone Group and the people of the entire Dahua Empire. There is nothing more proud than this. Looking at the aerospace made by our country
An airplane can take off directly from the ground, break through the atmosphere, and return safely. That feeling of pride is incomprehensible to outsiders, especially in this era. Everyone knows that the current era is a time when mankind is truly moving towards the space age.
Today, technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and everyone knows what the successful test flight of this aerospace aircraft means.
"Mr. Zhang! I hope Mr. Zhang can complete these orders for our aerospace force and aerospace department as soon as possible." Just when the test flight was completed and Minister Li and others were preparing to return to the imperial city, Minister Li said to Zhang Yi.
"Okay! Minister Li, now that our "Overlord Gun" aerospace plane has successfully tested safely, I am going to produce this aerospace plane while building a large-scale manufacturing production line, and strive to develop it in one year.
Chapter completed!
