Just after the Spring Festival, a group of soldiers and engineers implanted with biological computers took over the twelve neutrino transmitting stations.
At present, these neutrino transmitting stations have been completed. Of course, this means that the supporting facilities have been completed, but the neutrino transmitters have not been arranged in place.
After all, the construction workers did not conduct inspections, so it would be safer to let new humans who have been implanted with biocomputers do the work.
Near the neutrino transmitting station in Daxinganling.
The fleet responsible for transporting equipment transported more than a dozen containers to the foot of the mountain. Engineers unloaded the containers and found alloy boxes inside.
Inside the box is the neutrino transmitter module. This is a specially designed module that can be assembled simply and quickly.
The cable car made of new materials, with four boxes per car, is directly transported to the top of the mountain through the cable.
Zhang Tingyu has just arrived from the Qinling Base and is directing the engineers to install these neutrino transmitter modules.
The Daxinganling Neutrino Launching Station is equipped with a total of 16 neutrino transmitters, of which 4 are standby and 12 are in regular use.
The modular design makes assembly very simple, and engineers can use it after debugging it a few times. The mobile platform above can move 360 degrees horizontally and 270 degrees up and down, making it easy to adjust the direction of the neutrino transmitter.
"General Engineer Zhang, the first neutrino transmitter has been assembled and can be put into trial operation."
Zhang Tingyu turned to the station commander stationed on the side and said: "Stationmaster Ma can test it now."
After Commander Ma saluted, he called on a dozen of his subordinates to activate the neutrino launcher and fire a stream of neutrinos toward a test nuclear reactor on the south side.
The assembly and testing work went very smoothly, and the station personnel also quickly learned the maintenance techniques of the neutrino transmitter through the biological computer.
Neutrino transmitters have been installed in 12 neutrino transmitting stations one after another. After passing the test and acceptance, they were fully put into use.
This represents the formal completion of the first phase of the Silent Plan, followed by the second phase of the Silent Plan - the Silent Satellite System.
…
March 3rd.
Qiongzhou Wenchang Space Launch Center.
The huge Chang 5-D launch vehicle has been placed in the launch tower.
The flowers are blooming in Qiongzhou in spring, and a gentle breeze is blowing the flowers and grass in a specific observation area a few kilometers away from the launch site.
There were hundreds of people holding telescopes or professional cameras, including domestic and foreign reporters, aerospace enthusiasts or local villagers.
Karina K. Eddie, who was holding a CNN press pass, and another colleague were also in the observation area at this time. Through the high-definition camera, Karina could clearly see the long 5-D inside the launch tower.
Opening her laptop, she called up some parameters published on the official website of the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and found that Chang 5-D was different from its brothers.
"I heard that this is a reusable launch vehicle. Are they trying to imitate Elon Musk?" cameraman David Paul joked.
Karina did not smile, but warned solemnly: "David, your attitude disappoints me so much. Remember not to look down on anyone."
Um... David suddenly didn't dare to speak, Karina was his immediate boss.
As the second-in-command of the Asia Department, Karina understands many unknown things. For example, last year, the Chinese Space Administration launched a total of 9 launch vehicles, with a 100% success rate.
It was launched twice at the beginning of this year and was also successful.
The Chang 5-D that will be launched today is the first launch mission of this model.
However, the information officially disclosed by the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation is very little. For example, the recyclable launch vehicle is just a name, but no recycling method is mentioned.
In addition, what the launch vehicle is carrying this time is a near-medium orbit remote sensing satellite announced by the Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, which is said to be used for geological exploration, natural disasters, weather and climate.
But as an intelligence agent with a keen sense of smell, Karina believes that things are not that simple. After all, a single satellite weighs 7.8 tons and is a typical large satellite.
Moreover, according to the plan disclosed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, this series of remote sensing satellites will launch as many as 24 satellites, which is obviously a bit excessive.
David on the side observed the launch site carefully for a while, then turned his head and asked: "Karina, is this launch site a little weird?"
Weird Karina picked up the telescope and observed it carefully.
Well, why are there two more roads?
She put down the telescope and searched on her notebook. After comparing the photos from the past two years, she found that those two roads did not exist when the launch was launched in November last year, but they appeared in the launch photos in January this year.
Those two roads.
What are the two more roads used for? Karina picked up the telescope again and observed carefully.
Gradually she discovered something suspicious and searched for "Atlanta Space Launch Center Plan" on her laptop again.
After a comparison, Karina suddenly realized that those two roads turned out to be space shuttle runways, but China has not developed a space shuttle, so why build a space shuttle runway?
Not only did David and Karina discover two unexpected roads at the scene, but other sharp-eyed reporters also discovered them.
at noon.
The radiation tower slowly unfolds.
[10...5...3...1,0, launch]
Boom! The light blue tail flame pushed the Chang 5-D soaring into the sky, firing into the cooling pool at the bottom of the tower, instantly causing clouds of white water vapor to rise.
Under the mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, the Chang 5-D flew at a very violent speed and flew towards outer space at an inclined angle.
Ground-based cameras and telescopes quickly lost sight of it.
The control hall of the launch center.
Chen Yao and Li Guoqing are looking at the monitoring data nervously.
"Report, Chang 5-D is about to break through the Karman line."
"Report, Chang 5-D has broken through the Karman line."
"Report, the first-level core separation was successful."
The control team responsible for the core level immediately took action.
After separation, the second stage of the core continues to push the Chang 5-D toward a low-Earth orbit of 1,500 kilometers.
The main engine of the core stage has stalled, and the auxiliary engine has started to quickly correct the flight direction.
In 15 minutes, the core-stage rocket body has its head slightly downward, and the tail main engine is slightly upward.
"The core level enters 30,000 meters."
"Expand the auxiliary flight wings."
The foldable hollow wings made of high-strength materials unfolded immediately, and the core stage suddenly turned into an airplane.
As for the impact of the head not being aerodynamic, it does not matter to the core level one. After all, the design concept of the core level one is to facilitate recovery, not as a high-speed aircraft.
Under the action of the auxiliary engine, the first stage of the core becomes a large drone, which flies towards the Wenchang Space Launch Center under the guidance of Beidou Navigation.
At this time in the observation area.
"Oh my God!"
"Skuyi!"
"space shuttle!"
Unfold the core stage of the landing wheel and slowly land and taxi on the runway.
David quickly controlled the camera and followed Xin Yiyi's figure closely.
"It turned out to be a space shuttle." Karina stared at the core stage on the runway with wide eyes.
After the core level 1 stopped, the staff who were already ready drove the tractor to pull the core level 1 into the maintenance workshop.
at the same time.
Near the 300-kilometer low-Earth orbit, the core's second stage has also been separated successfully and is currently orbiting the 300-kilometer orbit, gradually approaching the Blue Star's atmosphere.
However, it will take some time for the core level 2 to return to the launch center. It is expected to take about 50 hours, mainly because it takes a lot of time to orbit the Blue Star.
