Chapter 424: On the eve of the test flight of Yuntian-1

The test flight application was not only an extremely efficient approval, but also surprisingly, Li Chuan also received strong support from superiors. The country directly dispatched aerospace-related enterprises and institutions and their experienced engineers to provide comprehensive assistance, including ground radar stations, management and control centers, satellite telemetry, ocean detection, air force reconnaissance, etc.

The superior's instructions were concise and comprehensively cooperated with the test flight of Huasheng Technology on "Yuntian 1" and ensured a complete success.

Efficiently concentrating efforts to accomplish major tasks is the system superiority of this country. European and American countries cannot achieve such coordination. No one is willing to suffer any loss in the vested interests of all parties. You can talk about it for a few years.

No wonder the test flight application was approved so quickly, because "Yuntian 1" is not only of great significance to Huasheng Technology's private space plan, but also of great significance to the Republic. It is a leap forward for China in the aerospace field. In recent times, the Chinese Air Force will definitely become the world's strongest air force. There is no doubt that greater thrust means greater load capacity and ammunition capacity, and stronger endurance means longer range and continuous combat capability.

In the distance, it is space exploration, building a super space station or conducting interstellar colonization activities outside, and unexpectedly expanding towards the earth. The massive resources in the solar system are expected, and they still care about the resources on the earth? This is the most inestimable point.

As time goes by, "Yuntian 1" successfully completed its assembly and stepped down from the production line. All enterprises and institutions have prepared early. Several waves of long-distance reconnaissance ships have already been driven out early, and reconnaissance ships were sent in the South Atlantic Ocean, the Red Sea, the East Indian Ocean, and the Pacific northern part of the Western Pacific. The three oceans have Chinese reconnaissance ships arranged in advance.

It is impossible to hide such a big news. After being discovered, it attracted close attention from the Western world. It soon became known that the Chinese and other ocean-going ships were used to monitor and collect data for the upcoming space activities, and the aerospace powers could distinguish them at a glance.

June 5, 2028.

The weather was very strong on this day and the next week and a half. This morning, the teams of Chengfei Design Bureau and Shenfei Design Bureau came. In addition, the inspection team of the Air China Administration led by Academician Zhou Jiangping also came. In addition to coming to complete the assisted flight test mission issued by superiors, there are also important cooperation matters.

Needless to say, the Aviation Administration of China reached a consensus on cooperation not long ago. Bureau Zhang and Li Chuan reached a gentleman agreement, and the cooperation between the Aviation Administration of China was aimed at purchasing engines and engines.

On the afternoon of June 10, Yuntian 1, wrapped in black cloth, drove out of the Huasheng Science and Technology Industrial Base under the guidance of several tractors. This is a special big guy worth nearly 100 meters long, with an empty weight of 197 tons. Currently, the air weight of the world's largest transport aircraft, the An-225 transport aircraft, is 175 tons, while "Yuntian 1" has increased by 22 tons compared to it.

Yuntian 1 not only refreshed the empty weight of the transport aircraft, but also refreshed the load. The maximum load capacity of the "An-225 transport aircraft" is 250 tons, while Yuntian 1 has a maximum load capacity of 283 tons, which is an additional load capacity of 33 tons.

Don’t underestimate the load capacity of 33 tons. Currently, China’s launch vehicles can only carry 37 tons of cargo to low-Earth orbit. The geosynchronous orbit transfer capacity is only 25 tons, and the low-month transfer orbit carrying capacity is only 14 tons.

Moreover, compared with the conventional heavy-load transport aircraft built by the former Soviet Union in the last world, it is a bit bullying. The "An-225 transport aircraft" is a product of the last century after all, and one can only fly in the atmosphere and the other can travel back and forth between outer space and the atmosphere. This is a performance that the "An-225 transport aircraft" can never match.

Such a big guy can't bear the roadbed at all. Fortunately, when Huasheng Technology was building the infrastructure of its headquarters, it upheld the spirit that everything was the best. The roadbed at Huasheng Technology headquarters was enough to bear 350 tons of loads. There was no problem with "Yuntian No. 1" walking on it.

Otherwise, how did the group company spend such huge operating costs?

Under the guidance of the tractor, "Yuntian No. 1" slowly headed towards the entrance and exit of Huasheng Technology Headquarters, which attracted many employees and some employees' families to watch in the distance.

With such a huge figure as "Yuntian No. 1", it is impossible not to attract attention.

As soon as the company's entrance and exit were released, a large number of non-official media reporters and foreign media reporters squatting outside the headquarters of Huasheng Technology began to capture the photos frantically.

"What's this?"

"have no idea!"

"Is it the Rockets?"

"It is possible that Huasheng Group has established a private space company, maybe it is a rocket. But isn't this speed of achieving results a bit too fast?"

"Obviously, they must have done the research in advance before announcing the establishment of the aerospace department."

The media reporters squatting not far away were curiously discussing and speculating with their partners while taking the shot. "Yuntian 1" was wrapped in black cloth, and from the outline, they really looked like a rocket, and it was a heavy-lift rocket with high thrust.

It is 100 meters long, and it is almost the same size as the Saturn V Rocket. No wonder those reporters would guess so.

Because the ailerons of "Yuntian-1" are foldable and shrinkable, and with the black cloth wrapped around it, no one will think about the aerospace transport plane, even the space shuttle must have wings.

No matter how you look at it, they are all a rocket, and they are heavy rockets!

The road closure measures have been completed early, and "Yuntian 1" began to head to the designated launch site with the coordination of the tractor and many staff.

The 127 staff members of the command center have already performed their duties, and are at the Huasheng Technology Headquarters, and other departments and units are ready.

The test flight launch site is the shooting range where the "Nano Pioneers" was originally tested. Now it is no longer a shooting range. It has long been transformed and expanded into the group company's private aerospace launch production site. The location is in a safe area dozens of kilometers away from the headquarters.

At the same time, a large number of reporters quickly followed and tried to figure out what the big guy wrapped in the black cloth was.

But it was soon stopped by security staff. Even a large area outside the launch site was surrounded by fences, and infrared surveillance thermal imager equipment was arranged in open and secretly.

Faced with these cold-faced security personnel, all of them were strong men, but they were still armed with guns and ammunition. These reporters couldn't resist and dared not force them.

It’s not because they are not allowed to film and report on confidentiality, but to avoid accidents. After all, this cannot be hidden. There are satellites in the space above the sky.

However, there are exceptions. What makes some foreign media reporters and other news media reporters feel helpless is that one reporter passed the work card and showed it, which makes other reporters very unbalanced.

It is the reporter of the Central Media. Today's test flight was created by CCTV News Live Room, which opened a special live broadcast program for the whole live broadcast. Countless aerospace enthusiasts and melon-eating people want to obtain live news in this area, but they can only watch it from CCTV13 News Live Room.
