There was a solemn atmosphere at the Dongdao Huoshao Island Satellite Launch Base.
A Xiongfeng-9A carrier rocket is standing quietly in the middle of the silo.
The heroic figure with a length of 16.5 meters, a diameter of 2.78 meters, and an overall weight of more than 60 tons is full of majestic power.
"shoot!"
The manhole cover popped open instantly, and Xiongfeng 9 soared into the sky.
at the same time.
Powerful countries all over the world have set their sights on Xiongfeng 9.
NASA headquarters.
[Didi! Level 1 alert!]
[Lock target, bearing...]
[Degrees 8743 meters per second...]
Maxwell's face darkened as he looked at the satellite surveillance screen.
This so-called satellite launch vehicle is so fast, approaching Mach 26, that it cannot be stopped at all.
At this speed, running 18,000 kilometers only takes half an hour, which is simply terrifying.
Dr. Archimedes looked at the satellite monitoring screen and the data analyzed by the computer, frowned and said: "Mr. Mike, something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Look at these data. From the data point of view, this launch vehicle is the 41 in the dF series. The entire launch vehicle is 63 to 65 tons at most. According to this weight, it is impossible to reach a distance of 18,000 kilometers." Archimedes
The doctor analyzed.
Maxwell looked at the data and found that the situation was indeed as Archimedes said, but this finding did not make him very happy.
"Let's see and then talk."
Dr. Archimedes did not refute. After all, Galaxy Technology's technology is sometimes so weird. Just because others can't do it, it doesn't mean Galaxy Technology can't do it.
Like NASA, Mao Xiong Space Agency, Western Space Administration, Sunland, and Tianzhu all discovered the weirdness of Xiongfeng 9.
Around ten ten.
Xiongfeng 9 has flown nearly 6,000 kilometers. When approaching Port Vila, Vanuatu, the first stage rocket stalled and broke away.
Since the flight altitude of Xiongfeng 9 is about 94 kilometers above sea level, the first-stage rocket detached from the main body will automatically activate the self-destruction device after ten seconds.
The first-stage rocket instantly turned into a ball of fire, and countless fragments fell toward the sea below. At this height and speed, these fragments would be burned by the atmosphere's friction before falling to the ground or the sea.
At around 10:20, Xiongfeng 9 had flown 12,000 kilometers and arrived at the famous South Pacific Spacecraft Cemetery.
The second stage rocket flames out and breaks away. Like the first stage rocket, its fate is to self-destruct.
The remaining third-stage rocket will carry the payload, make a big turn in the South Pacific, turn back to the northwest, and then crash into the sea about 1,000 kilometers southwest of Easter Island.
Ten twenty-nine.
In NASA's satellite surveillance footage, a huge hole appeared in the South Pacific Ocean at about 3o degrees south latitude and 12o degrees west longitude.
"..." Maxwell looked at the satellite surveillance screen and remained silent.
"It's equivalent to 450 to 500 tons, which is amazing, really amazing." Archimedes was amazed.
Maxwell, who woke up, ordered: "Estimate their payload?"
"Leave it to me."
Dr. Archimedes called up the monitored data and began to calculate. Ten minutes later: "Mr. Mike, two pieces of bad news."
"Say it! We have to face reality, don't we?"
Archimedes paused and organized his words: "The initial estimate is that the payload is about 7 to 8 tons, which means that the charge they used is between 6o and 7o times that of T-charge."
"In addition, the payload is 7 to 8 tons, so..."
"It also means that the opponent's payload coefficient is very high." Maxwell continued in a deep voice.
"My preliminary estimate is that their payload coefficient has reached 1o to 12%. It is very difficult to achieve this."
There was deathly silence in NASA's satellite monitoring room. They were all professionals, so of course they knew the horror of this data.
Although Mao Xiong’s Satan launch vehicle also looks very impressive, if you take a closer look, you will know the difference between the two.
The total weight of Satan is about 200 tons, the payload is 8.8 tons, and the payload coefficient is only a pitiful 4.4%.
As for Xiongfeng 9, the total weight is 64 tons, the payload is 7.6 tons, and the payload coefficient is 11.8%.
The effective load factor of Xiongfeng 9 is 2.68 times that of Satan. This means that if Xiongfeng 9 is as heavy as Satan, the effective load that can be delivered within a distance of 18,000 kilometers may reach 45 to 50 tons.
In addition, Xiongfeng's speed is very fast, so fast that it is difficult to intercept and react.
The distance between Mi Lijia's native west coast and Dongtang is about 10,000 kilometers, and the east coast is about 14,000 kilometers. Xiongfeng 9 can deliver express to your door just around the corner.
Not to mention other places in Asia, Western Europe, and Oceania.
Although we know that due to the existence of mushroom eggs, a world-class conflict is unlikely to occur, the power of Dongtang still makes people feel a lot of pressure.
Other countries monitoring this experiment also fell silent. This power reminded them of another old friend, an old friend who was tricked to death by them.
The current world situation is becoming more and more like before 1991. The Dongtang Dynasty, which is very powerful both economically and physically, and the Mili family is declining day by day. This has to make people worry about the future.
With countries around the world worried.
A team of ghost airships successfully recovered the data module of Xiongfeng 9.
East Island Fire Island Base.
"From the experimental data, the maximum distance reaches 18,713 kilometers." Li Jie's analysis report said.
"18,700 kilometers is obviously overperformance. I suggest that reducing the maximum distance to 16,000 kilometers is enough. In this way, the payload can be increased to about 16 tons." Another researcher suggested.
"This is a good suggestion. We can make some improved models." The experts from the mainland inspection team also nodded.
They like to be violent the most. Of course, the bigger the payload, the better. It is best to be able to enter the soul at once, that is the most enjoyable.
Of course, the payload of 7.6 to 16, for those countries with an area of less than 100,000 square kilometers, is definitely the sour feeling of going to heaven.
"When the test of the other Xiongfeng 9 is completed tomorrow, let's discuss how to improve it!" Huang Haojie returned the report to Li Jie and said.
"OK."
"Just listen to Mr. Huang."...
April 16th.
The second Xiongfeng 9 soared into the sky.
But this time, the Xiongfeng 9 was fired from a transport ship.
It broke into the northeastern Tianzhu Ocean, then crossed the southwestern Tianzhu Ocean, entered the South Atlantic Ocean and crashed.
Different from the single type of the first Xiongfeng 9, the second Xiongfeng 9 is of a mother-and-child type.
Satellite monitoring departments around the world have been shocked to the point of numbness. Even if this thing adopts the current design and does not use mushrooms, it is estimated that it can level a fleet of Fords with one piece.
The data capsule was recovered.
Huang Haojie held a meeting with researchers from the institute, the inspection team from the mainland, and Wang Dalong from Xinxing Industry to discuss the next arrangements.
Since Xiongfeng 9 has excess performance, especially in terms of distance, the discussion centered around these issues.
For example, an enlarged version of Xiongfeng 9; or a version that suppresses distance and enhances the payload; or a version that can launch high-orbit satellites, etc.
From various aspects such as usage and shooting methods, they discussed more than a dozen improved versions.
Based on the principle of talking without spending money, these guys have thrown out various magically modified versions. If Huang Junjie hadn't finally told them to stop, there would have been even more improved models.
