So, is it true? The information received by other radar stations is true? This is really Universal Company, R&D

The plane? It flew up and was moving forward, towards the too

"Old Manager, is it..." His expression could not deceive people. The main military officials of the Southwest Military Region who rushed over urgently saw an expression that was so excited that they could not be self-controlled on his face. The commander asked, but he could no longer ask. He felt his throat was a little dry and tight. The commander pulled Feng Ji's button open, and he didn't even notice that the button was torn.

He just felt that if he didn't breathe at this moment, he would be so nervous that he could not breathe.

"All radar stations start! Monitor the flight targets and report to me as soon as possible!" The commander suddenly shouted, and he was also startled by his dry voice.

"I understand!" All the officers on duty at the Radar Network Management Center were startled. Then, like a machine suddenly started, everyone rushed to their posts.

The first chief officers pushed away the officers on duty at that time and personally conveyed orders to various radar stations.

The situation summary information is displayed in front of everyone through the large LCD screen in the center.

Upward, upward, and upward, a perfect line pointed straight to the sky and towards the distant outer space. In the hall, there were sometimes roars like officers taking guns and medicine, and sometimes silent. Whether it was a lieutenant general or a lieutenant, everyone was taking advantage of every second of their spare time to look at the line pointing to outer space on the screen. Even in the blink of an eye, they were unwilling to miss it!

The commander's brows jumped slightly.

On the screen, the speed of the arrow gradually slowed down. At the beginning, the speed became slower and it was not easy to detect with the naked eye, but soon, even a slow person could see that the arrow was slowing down at a slowing rate that everyone could feel.

What is going on?

Everyone feels a tight heart. Is it a failure or a trajectory?

They were unwilling to think about the most terrifying ending, but they always involuntarily jumped out of the fearful thoughts.

Thumb thumb thumb.

The director of the management center ran over from a distance to the computer room. In his hand, he was still holding a thick stack of printed data.

The latest supercomputer from Universal ordered from the site has reached a calculation speed of 120 trillion times. It used the fastest speed to calculate the final target position of the flight and the analysis data made on it.

"Enter the orbit..." The director ran to the door quickly, shouting through the glass door, "...it...the aircraft...the darkness speed... will successfully enter the low-Earth orbit six hundred...600 kilometers away! The flight is successful!"

In the center, there was a lot of noise, and the shed rose up.

A group of senior military chiefs of military regions tried to maintain their majestic posture. However, their tight faces were shaking constantly. Suddenly, the lips of more than a dozen generals and officials cracked their tight pursed lips, bursting out with the happiest laughter. They patted their colleagues' shoulders hard, trying to say something, but they didn't know what to say, but they just slapped each other hard, making a loud laugh.

Dingling, the internal phone suddenly rang.

The colonel officer on duty who was close to the phone laughed loudly. Tears flowed out of his eyes. He picked up the phone and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Yes! This is the center of the situation summary! Haha, hehe! Well, yes, the commander is here! Yes, I understand!" His laughter suddenly paused, then he stood at attention and said loudly with a full breath, "Yes! I'll ask the commander to come over and answer the phone immediately!"

The laughter in the hall stopped and they all looked at him.

The commander also looked at him.

The colonel walked towards him with a standard military instrument and stood attentively to report: "Report to Commander, Chief No. 1, please answer the phone!"

Chief No. 1!

The commander quickly sorted out his appearance, touched the torn buttonhole with his hand, tried hard to ward Feng Ji's mouth, strode to the phone, picked up the phone, and stood attentively: "Report! I am Tang Zhenhua, commander of the Southwest Military Region!"

The voice of the new chief, who, like his predecessor, was from a technical official, was not as loud as a soldier: "Are you the commander of the Southwest Military Region? I have also received the latest report on the situation. Yes, the aerospace plane has entered orbit smoothly, I already know. I want to come to your place and monitor the whole process. Don't celebrate at first. We should see the reaction outside and then suppress it. Let the troops be vigilant, but don't make the momentum so big, tight inside and loose outside."

Chief No. 1 put down the phone, pinched his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "This Xiao Qiang is really not going to make a sound, and it's a shocking sound. Last time, your National Defense Science and Technology Commission, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the assembly of the General Assembly said that their plan for the space plane is not feasible. What's the result? In less than six years, they forced the space plane out, and the whole world knew about it."

Next to him, Director Zhou of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and several generals who were acting as the general were also present, all looking at each other and smiling bitterly.

Of course they were happy when Xiao Qiang brought out the aerospace plane, and they were sure that they would have to drink a few drinks when they went back. But Xiao Qiang's aerospace plane was always mysterious and as soon as he appeared, they were so loud that they really surprised them, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, the confidential phone inside the conference room rang. A secretary quickly answered the phone, asked a few questions softly, then walked behind Chief No. 1 and said a few words softly.

"Oh? Is it the call from the National Defense Science and Technology Commission? Where are Xiao Qiang and they are? Haha, we are talking about him, so he called." Chief No. 1 said with a smile.

"In the Science and Technology Commission?" Director Zhou was stunned, walked to the phone and picked up the phone: "It's Boss Xiao, I want to congratulate you. This experiment on the aerospace plane was very successful! It was a sensation! Not only us, but also abroad, we all know it!"

Xiao Qiang laughed and said, "Director Zhou, I have brought you a batch of new equipment and want to ask you to inspect it. As a result, your secretary said you are not here. I said wait. As a result, your secretary called and chased the chief. I wonder if it has disturbed you?"

"What's so urgent?" Director Zhou asked strangely, "What equipment is it? Can't you wait for me to come back?"

"I also said I was waiting for you to come back. It was either a new thing, or a few sets of simulated trainers for airplanes..."

Director Zhou shouted: "Sky Space Plane Simulation Training Device!"

"Yes! We didn't expect the experiment of the space shuttle to be successful so quickly. At that time, we just wanted to make a batch of trainers in advance and leave them to you for acceptance. We train a batch of pilots for the space shuttle. As a result, I just got off the car just now and heard the news that the experiment was successful. This was a coincidence." Xiao Qiang said enthusiastically.

Director Zhou's voice was very quiet on the other end of the phone, maybe he was covering the phone and looking at him.

report.

Xiao Qiang waited patiently.

Director Zhou's voice sounded again at the other end of the phone: "Xiao Xiao, I want to ask, how much is the cost of this space plane? How much does it cost?"

It's still impatient enough, so I ask for the price as soon as I come.

Xiao Qiang restrained his smile. He was very cautious, but somewhat ambiguously replied: "It's very expensive!"

"How expensive is it?" the other party asked in a close pursuit.

Xiao Qiang was silent for a while before answering: "It is twice as expensive than the US space shuttle. And..."

The unit price of the US space shuttle is $2 billion.

In the past, when the United States was at its best economy, it also built three aircraft and exploded one aircraft, but now it is used in rotation. Every time it goes to heaven, the cost of using is very high, much higher than simply using large-capacity rockets. It can be said to be a gold-selling monster.

According to Xiao Qiang's quotation, the quotation of $4 billion is very high. However, in terms of usage efficiency, aerospace shuttles can be much higher than aerospace shuttles.

After all, this is the first spacecraft in the world that can be reused repeatedly!

Although special special runways are also required, aerospace planes do not need to be sent to the sky by large rockets every time. They also have to carry a fuel compartment larger than themselves. Once they fly, the launch vehicle will cause a lot of pollution and form countless abandoned objects. The fuel compartment will also be thrown into near-earth space, forming huge cost and waste, not only will it cause space garbage.

Moreover, every time the space shuttle takes off, it requires up to tens of thousands of staff to serve it. The aerospace shuttle requires no more ground crew than ordinary large aircraft. Of course, in order to ensure the normal parts, it is also possible to arrange more inspectors, but no matter what, it is much less than the space shuttle.

In fact, high-precision aircraft such as space shuttles and space shuttles are indeed costly, but not so high.

The reason why there is such a high quotation is that the amortized R&D costs are also caused.

Xiao Qiang's aerospace plane is a place for future utopian plans and is his own need. Therefore, he can not submit such a high quotation, but only quote one cost price.

However, in order to successfully implement the utopian plan in the future, he was unable to sell too many aerospace planes to the country for the time being.

At least, it will not change until the utopian plan is officially launched.

So, he cited twice the selling price of the US space shuttle in one breath. It is definitely okay for the country to buy in small quantities, but it is unrealistic to buy in large quantities.

Director Zhou was obviously frightened by his offer and never spoke. After more than ten minutes, he asked him: "You had something to say just now. It was made from aerospace planes. Are there any technical problems?"

"Yes, we imported the engines of the space shuttle from South Africa." He said the answer that he had been preparing for a long time.

"What? The engine is imported? Isn't this engine developed by you?" Director Zhou asked hurriedly, "Since that's the case, why didn't South Africa export this engine to other countries?"

No wonder he was anxious.

The key point of the aerospace plane is the engine. If the engine is not made by Universal, then even if the country purchases the aerospace plane from Universal, it does not mean it is owned exclusively.

Who doesn’t want to hold this strategic technology firmly in their own hands!

"This is the thing," Xiao Qiang said slowly, "This combination engine was jointly developed by us and them. Both parties have the patented technology of this engine, but the core technology is in our hands. Without our participation, they cannot independently manufacture this engine. But..."

"But what?" Director Zhou's voice was very anxious.

"But they also master the key alloy formula." Xiao Qiang showed a regret in his words, "You also know that engines rely on alloy formulas. Without good alloy formulas, no matter how good the engine design is, it is a waste. Therefore, no one of our two companies can do without each other. One alone cannot independently produce aerospace plane engines that meet the requirements."

Director Zhou's voice came across the phone, and he could feel it. He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, as long as the core technology is in your hands, you won't be afraid! Then, the other party did not reveal the intention of selling this engine to the world?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Qiang's lips: "The other party only seeks money, and does not care who it sells to."

"Okay! How high is their alloy production in a year?" Director Zhou asked excitedly.

"From our observation, we can probably build two engines?" Xiao Qiang said hesitantly in an unsure tone, "By the way, if used in an aerospace plane, the lifespan of an engine is about 610 hours."

"What about the quote for each engine? I mean to buy the engine alone!" Director Zhou asked closely.

"We bought from their company and the materials needed for each engine were sold for $300 million."

Opposite the phone, Director Zhou discussed with others for a long time and said to Xiao Qiang: "We order six aerospace planes, including this prototype! We pay the price of one down payment. Then, you pay us two per year. In this way, that South African company should not have the energy to sell alloys to others, right?"

Xiao Qiang made a suggestion for him and said, "Director Zhou, if we pay too much money at one time, the other party may expand the production scale. It is better to order six, manufacture three at the same time, and then let the other party deliver enough alloy materials. But we do not pay in one lump sum, but give them as much as they receive and hang them..."

"You can do this matter well, and we are not easy to participate." Director Zhou laughed, and then said in a serious voice, "We will do our best in terms of alloys. Don't worry about this matter. In the past few years, we have first used the alloy materials of the other company. But in a few years, we will provide you with qualified alloy materials. This is a national strategic project, and we must take it into our own hands and cannot rely on foreigners at all!"

"I understand!" Xiao Qiang replied in a firm tone.

"Also..." Director Zhou hesitated, "Can you make some changes to the design of this space plane?"

“What changes?”

"For example, equipped with a weapon system! Kinetic energy weapons, laser weapons, etc...."
