After entering the command hall, Ye Ming just said hello to many data engineers and commanders before entering the conference room nearby.
Although he was the chief designer of 3001, he was not the commander-in-chief of this test flight.
But this does not prevent him from having all the authority for this test flight, and his priority of command authority even surpasses that of the ground commander - he has rich experience in launch command and general calculation and reaction capabilities comparable to plug-ins. This time he came here
, he mainly acts as "insurance".
Director Niu and Chief Engineer Fu stayed with him, watching the final inspection work through the big screen in the conference room.
When there were two hours left, an order from the commander-in-chief of this test flight came from the command hall - from the person in charge of a certain department of the Air Force.
"The 120 countdown has begun, Aita, please report the situation in cabin 3001."
Aita's calm voice sounded in the hall and was clearly transmitted into the conference room.
"Commander, the ship cabin inspection has been completed and all engineering personnel have left the ship. Currently, everything in 3001 is in normal condition and can carry out its mission."
Ye Ming had a smile on his face, like an old father who saw his child come to the stage to receive an award.
His expression was seen by the people next to him, and they couldn't help laughing.
The commander-in-chief's voice sounded again: "3001 crew members, report your situation."
Soon, a calm and calm voice also sounded: "Reporting to the commander, all the commanders and fighters of 3001 have been assembled. 143 people were expected to be present, and 143 people were actually present. The report is completed, please give instructions."
"3001, carry out boarding mission."
"yes!"
As the sound fell, the screen also cut to a scene of a group of soldiers wearing blue and white uniforms marching towards 3001, and behind them was a row of robots.
Because of the camera, Ye Ming couldn't see the number of robots clearly. He immediately turned around and asked Director Niu: "How many mechanical warriors have been arranged to board the ship?"
"10, these warriors are controlled by Aita, not armored warriors."
Ye Ming nodded. 10 may not seem like many, but it is definitely a lot. After all, the launch units are all automatically controlled. Unless there are extreme circumstances, there is no need for human operation. When the robot gets on board, more considerations are needed.
Work as a substitute during shifts to replace certain tasks that require manual operations.
Moreover, Ye Ming also knew that at least two of the robots were equipped with long-distance communication modules to prevent communication problems.
…
Time passes slowly.
Obviously, the crew members have accumulated a lot of experience in the real simulation for the past six months. After boarding the ship, they arrived at their respective posts in an orderly manner and completed all pre-takeoff tests with Aita.
.
The time came to five o'clock in the afternoon.
When Aita reported again that the self-inspection was completed and the ignition was ready, Ye Ming and others stood collectively at the command center building.
At this time, the main video screen also cut to the outside of the spacecraft.
The roof of the workshop slowly opened, revealing the huge and smooth hull of the "Qin".
In Dalian in early winter, the sun has begun to shift westward. The sunlight shining through the clouds falls on the silver-gray ship, making it look full of infinite science fiction.
"The countdown begins."
Following the commander-in-chief's voice, Ye Ming also took a breath, put his hands behind his back, and called Yin Ta in his mind.
"Yinta."
"get out of class is about to end."
"Keep an eye on the ignition mission of 3001."
"receive."
After giving instructions to Yin Ta, Ye Ming exhaled slowly and looked at the big screen.
The countdown is over and the battleship engine starts.
The engine of the three-thousand-ton battleship still uses the same design as the Yaoyue, but in terms of power output, it will consider more stable and efficient nuclear power conversion rather than output jets.
After all, its mission is to maintain the suborbital level for a long time.
Although the spacecraft’s food reserves were prepared for a full week,
But the test flight time this time is tentatively set at forty-eight hours - if there are problems, it will be shorter. Of course, if there are no problems, it may be longer.
On the screen, the temperature of the engine began to jump continuously. When it finally reached 200 million degrees Celsius, fusion began.
Aita's voice also kept ringing.
"Start power system switching...completed."
"Activate the anti-gravity module...has been activated."
"Start attitude engine engine...has started."
The commander's voice sounded: "3001, take off."
"receive."
The conversation ended, and six blue lights were seen spraying out from the attitude engine of the ship at high speed, gently lifting the spacecraft that had activated the anti-gravity engine.
Immediately afterwards, the spacecraft's main engine also began to release jets.
In the command room, everyone held their breath at the same time.
——Because this is the first time to take off vertically on "Earth".
In the past, the two launches of Yaoyue and Xiantian took off at an angle with the support of landing gear. In addition, the appearance and aerodynamic design of Yaoyue and Xiantian were of the same origin, while 3001
A major change in appearance has been made, so...
This has to be done with caution.
With the adjustment of the six attitude engines and the main engine, 3001 gradually "raised its head", then turned into an eagle and soared into the sky!
The spacecraft was very fast, completing subsonic acceleration in less than 100 seconds - although it was designed to achieve supersonic cruise at its ultimate speed in the near-Earth atmosphere, it was completely meaningless.
After all, it's going up, not forward.
Twenty kilometers above the ground, you reach suborbital, and even at subsonic speeds, you can reach it in minutes.
Time passes minute by minute.
When radars and satellites from various places continued to return data, the voice of the 3001 captain sounded again in the command center.
"Reporting to the leader, I have arrived at the scheduled orbit. The current horizontal altitude is meters and the vertical position is 119°50", 35°28"."
After a pause, the captain's voice came again: "It seems to be over Qingdao."
Following the captain's voice, laughter burst into laughter in the command room.
Then there was applause.
The commander-in-chief was obviously relieved and said with a smile: "Yes, you are over Qingdao. Please take a rest and prepare to perform subsequent tests such as deceleration, acceleration, elevation, steering, and pre-launch."
"receive."
…
In the countryside of Keelung, in a very ordinary farmhouse, a young man in his early twenties was lying on the sofa wearing the latest Jingwei glasses.
He yelled and yelled from time to time, sounding like he was playing a game.
"Ku Shuai, save me!"
"OMG... Maozi is really f**king. He has already moved into Aita and wants to kill Kushuai."
The young man complained while starting the next game.
He was playing an old IP game from Belarus that was launched on ETA, World of Warships - compared to playing on a traditional flat computer, the game on ETA allows you to truly feel as a battleship commander.
The sense of pleasure and experience.
The only drawback...is that the internet speed across the sea is a little slow.
But there is nothing he can do. Who makes him unable to buy a 500,000-yuan Sita-3? And even if he can afford it... the customs will probably not let him pass...
After all, the equipment he has now was smuggled back from the mainland with great effort during the summer vacation.
"Huang Jinsong, it's time to eat."
Grandma's voice came from outside the house.
The young man immediately responded: "Grandma, you eat first, and I'll finish this one."
Later, Huang Jinsong entered the game again.
The waiting space of the game is a bar scene. All captains are sitting in the bar in their respective images. You can communicate in a friendly manner or keep your mouth shut.
Huang Jinsong rarely speaks - his accent is quite obvious
At this time, a voice who had just entered the game shouted exaggeratedly.
"Damn it! Brothers, do you know what flew up today?"
Someone immediately took over: "What is it?"
"Now the video has spread all over the world. Dalian Shipyard directly took off a space battleship."
"Fuck!"
"Nani?"
"What battleship?"
"Space battleship! It's like Yaoyue..."
"Where did it fly to?"
"I don't know, it's said that it flew south."
"Holy shit, is this true or not? Has the Air Force sent a message?"
"Have you checked it again? It's probably too advanced for display."
"This is an inconvenient display. Last year we said we were going to build a space carrier. Now the Yaoyue is in the sky, and the Xiantian is also in the sky. What is there to be conservative about the last battleship - where do you think it is flying to?"
"To the south, everyone says we go to the Wanwan side."
Huang Jinsong's heart suddenly tightened! Immediately, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably!
