Chapter 453 Countdown to Test Flight

"Dawn One"? Deputy Director Chen repeated subconsciously, and immediately understood the meaning of the name.

From the end of the 20s to the beginning of the 60s, Huaguo once had an aerospace project called Project 70 (Dawn-714 Project).

The manned space shuttle used in it is named Shuguang-[-].

The Dawn-2 spacecraft under design can carry two people, similar to the Gemini spacecraft, but lighter in weight and smaller in size.

It was originally planned to be launched in 1973, but due to factors such as insufficient funds and backward technology, the Shuguang-1972 project was finally forced to be canceled on May 5, 13.

The space shuttle named Dawn No. [-] will only exist on the blueprint forever.

Later, a certain domestic scientific leader finalized a plan to use a disposable spacecraft to go to the sky according to the national conditions.

Since then, domestic manned space vehicles have all used spacecraft with lower technical difficulty and lower cost.

In the eyes of the older generation of aerospace experts, the name "Dawn-[-]" represents a reusable space shuttle route.

So later, the Huaguo Space Administration completely abandoned the name of the Shuguang series, and chose the new name of "Shenzhou" according to public opinion.

If the "Dawn-[-]" launch is successful this time, and it can successfully carry people to the moon and return, then this marks the rise of the space shuttle route.

Judging from the name alone, Longteng International's ambitions are not small.

Does Longteng International really want to become a private space transportation company similar to SpaceX and replace AVIC?
Deputy Director Chen had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yes." Tang Long nodded nonchalantly.
He didn't think as much as Deputy Director Chen thought. He named the space shuttle "Dawn One" purely because of laziness.

Of course, there is also the idea of ​​justifying the name of China's first manned space shuttle.

In fact, in Tang Long's eyes, "Dawn No. [-]" can only be regarded as a minibus at best.

A real spaceship should be a spaceship like [Abel] that can travel long distances in space.

If it weren't for the inconvenient use of a lot of technology, he wouldn't have built such a simplified V-star spaceship.

After seeing off Minister Ye and his team from the Air Force Equipment Department, Tang Long and a group of experts from the space agency began to select a suitable time window for the launch of "Dawn-[-]".

After comprehensive consideration of various factors and high-level opinions, the launch time of "Dawn-8" was set at 1:6 am on August 30st.

Since the Shangjing Aerospace Science and Technology Base does not have the conditions to launch a space shuttle, Tang Long had no choice but to order the robot engineers to split "Dawn One" into hundreds of modules and package them for transport.

Originally, this extremely complicated and time-consuming work would take at least one month for the engineers of the assembly center to complete.

However, with the full cooperation of fifty professional engineers (robots) transferred by Longteng International, it took less than 24 hours to complete the disassembly work.

Two days later, the special military convoy successfully transported all the components of "Dawn-[-]" to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

The team of engineers who rushed to Jiuquan by plane took another 20 hours to assemble "Dawn No. [-]".

The time has come to July 7, and there are only three days left before the launch of "Dawn-28".

Whether it is a pilot or an engineer, they are busy at their posts like a clockwork gear that has been wound up.

The space shuttle is a huge and sophisticated piece of equipment. Only by ensuring that each of the more than [-] parts are working properly can astronauts be sent to outer space and brought back safely.

And any tiny omission, even if the screw is not tightened, may lead to extremely serious consequences.

Therefore, as a senior in Huaguo Aerospace Industry said, every successful launch is almost a failure, and every launch failure is a near success.

The maintenance work lasted for two full days.

After the inspection by Longteng International's professional team, Academician Wu Wei and other experts from the space agency checked again.

Compared with the tense and busy expert group, Tang Long was much more relaxed.

The closer the whole project is to the end, all the work has been arranged, and basically there is nothing for him.

He even took the time to go to the world of "Transformers", and with the newly formed team of Autobots, he helped "Optimus Prime" kill the "Fallen King Kong" and the Decepticons who returned to Earth.

Since then, Earth, in the Transformers universe, has solved the problem of Decepticon invasion for good.

The country of Hua in the parallel world has also become the base for Tang Long to form a new type of Autobot army.

With the assistance of the Chinese government, Tang Long used the "fire source" energy in the "Cosmic Rubik's Cube (Incomplete)" to transform an army of Transformers consisting of different types of cars and fighter jets.

In order to increase the combat effectiveness of the "Flying Eagle" Legion, he brought this Transformers Legion into the world of "Stargate".

At the same time, in the real world, Tang Long also spent [-] million U.S. dollars to purchase the adaptation rights of Transformers in virtual reality games.

On July 7, "Stargate: Expeditions" was updated again.

The new Transformers Legion has been added to the game, and players can fight side by side with Transformers.

Ye Lingshan, who newly joined Longteng International's game business department, led [-] creative game planners, and began to fabricate follow-up exciting plots around Transformers.

As the launch time approaches, the National Space Administration has also announced the launch plan for "Dawn-[-]".

At the same time, domestic and foreign media have published different commentary articles on Longteng International's moon landing project:
Renren Daily: "Can Longteng International help Huaguo enter the interstellar era?" "

Jiangnan Daily: "People in Jiangnan are eagerly waiting for the launch of "Dawn No. [-]""

Shanghai Evening News: "The Chinese dream of landing on the moon for a thousand years, only on August [-]st"

Beijing Youth Daily: "The astronauts of "Dawn [-]" have been appointed and are undergoing continuous physical examination and psychological tests"

Beijing Evening News: "5 Xiangjiang people signed their signatures to bless "Dawn No. [-]" and sent their signatures to the Hong Kong Office"

iQIYI Video: "At 8:1 on August 6st, we invite you to watch the live broadcast of the launch of "Dawn-30""

……

Compared with domestic media articles full of positive energy, foreign media are full of cynicism towards Longteng International.

Associated Press: "Shocked!Is building a space shuttle a month a myth in the new century, or is it burning money to set off fireworks? "

NBC: "Plasma Thrusters?Chinese people take science fiction movies as reality? "

BBC: "In order to become China's version of SpaceX, Longteng International took the lives of astronauts as a test for its first flight"

……

AVIC, Academy of Space Technology.

director's office.

After hearing the news that Longteng International planned to conduct a test flight on August [-], Chief Engineer Liu, the chief designer of the Shenzhou series of spaceships, immediately rushed to bring the news here.

After listening to the whole news, Dean Zhang Hong, who was watching the video, was stunned for a few seconds.

When he came back to his senses, he glanced at Mr. Liu standing in front of the desk with unbelievable eyes.

Dean Zhang Hong lost his voice: "...Test flight? It's only been less than a month!"

"That's right! Who would have thought that they would move so fast!" Mr. Liu sighed heavily with a sad expression on his face, "The first time they flew, they flew on living people. It's just nonsense!"
