Chapter 407
December 2018, 12 will soon be the day of the test flight of Arclight Aerospace's aerospace plane.

In fact, it’s not just waiting for Arclight Aerospace, but the news in the aerospace industry has been constant these days, and people’s attention has naturally increased. After Arclight Aerospace began to release news, it also returned to the center of the news.

Just the day before yesterday, Huaguo's "Chang'e-[-]" was also launched, and now it has entered the lunar orbit, and is decelerating in circles on the lunar orbit. At the same time, it is preparing to land at the predetermined location on the back of the moon. The news is a bit much.

In addition, Arclight Aerospace itself is also a news point. When it comes to today, when the two are added together, the information and popularity will immediately burst.

Early in the morning on the 15th, the Arclight Aerospace Exploration Company became lively.

Today, there are 100 national observers, ranging from soldiers to officials, aerospace researchers, and even the head of No. [-] whom Dong Chen has met several times.

Although Dong Chen didn't need the blessing of this kind of BUFF, other people liked it very much. Before Dong Chen forced them to change their minds or issued strong orders, their outlook on life and the world didn't change much.

In addition, there are some people from all over the world and all walks of life who were invited to the scene, and they are also very happy.

Some of the viewers were selected from the user list of the Arclight Group. It was worthwhile to come to this place closest to the starry sky and witness the legend of a private company flying an aerospace plane.

There are also some friends from the news media. The continuous news these days has earned them a lot of traffic. How can they not come back to this moment that can be written into the history books today.

What's even more exciting is the webcast.

Compared with the small excitement at the scene, the real excitement on the Internet.

People from all over the world meet here, hundreds of millions of people from different cultural circles look at the same page, and the keyboard warriors are also equipped and ready to attack at any time.

However, compared with those traditional rocket launches or space shuttle launches, Arclight Aerospace is still a little different here.

Because to launch those things, they will be set up on the launch pad early, and they are constantly doing some inspections and filling fuel before launching.

So they get noticed days ago because you're already there and you can't hide them.

But the situation is different now. There are no huge rockets standing upright on the screen, only a flat and super long runway, and the runway is also empty.

Because the spacecraft of Arclight Aerospace is an aircraft, it is still doing final preparations in the hangar and maintenance workshop next to it.

"Why haven't you come out yet? All the flowers I've been waiting for are gone!"

"It should be soon. The live broadcast is on. Didn't it mean ten o'clock in the morning? It's only after nine o'clock, and it's the last few minutes."

"Yes, just wait for a few minutes, don't you see that the keyboard warriors are all honest now? Just wait for a few minutes."

"I think they are going to wait for nothing. This is definitely done with confidence. The global live broadcast, there are so many multimedia and live audiences, and the heads of state at the national level are all here."

"The person next to the head of the Hua Kingdom is Dong Chen, the founder of the Arclight Group, right? He looks so young."

"Today's protagonist is in the hangar, right? The aerospace plane called X-KT01 experimental model, it won't really have to wait until ten o'clock?"

"I don't know. It stands to reason that it will take off at ten o'clock. Preparations should have started a few hours ago, otherwise it must be delayed."

"Isn't it true that they can take off at any time? But isn't this the first test aircraft?"

"I don't know..."

"Ah, it's coming out, it's coming out!"

"Damn, can the one in front speak more seriously!"

"The aerospace plane is finally coming out, and the door of the hangar is open."

No, while they were waiting, the door of the hangar where the X-KT01 was parked slowly opened, and the white body was revealed in the shot.

Without the traction of any towing vehicles, the aerospace plane drove out slowly by itself, and parked steadily on the long special runway. The streamlined fuselage looked extraordinarily beautiful under the winter sun.

As the chief engineer of this X-KT01 experimental model aerospace plane, Xiang Wu is explaining its various performances to the head of No. [-] and a deputy director named Yu of Huaguo Space Administration, while Dong Chen is also listening .

Although most of these technologies were provided by Dong Chen, and he also participated in some technical seminars, he really didn't know what they made of the aerospace plane in the end, and he didn't let No. [-] pay attention to it.

Recently, he has been busy with the body strengthening agent, constantly improving it, increasing the success rate, and constantly reducing the cost.

Seeing that the space age is coming, the physical fitness of a large number of "astronauts" is not enough.

Now that they have strolled to the comprehensive command tower and watched the aerospace plane come out, Xiang Wu no longer let them look at the information to explain, but directly looked at the image on the big screen and started the intuitive explanation. Nodding frequently, it can be seen that he is also very interested in this kind of technology, but the deputy director is constantly writing something in a small notebook.

This time it is not just a simple test flight, but a preliminary test flight directly to space.

And a large number of flight experiments will be carried out in the next period of time. After the test is no problem, these data and experiences will be quickly applied to the large-scale aerospace transport aircraft being manufactured, and to lay the foundation for the later space passenger aircraft. .

Of course, the main technology already exists, and it was provided by Dong Chen, but it is not all the technology in the radiation world, but Dong Chen's technical upgrade with the help of No. [-].

What they need now is the actual experimental data on the earth, and then only by combining these data can they design and manufacture a good and complete large aircraft.

They were chatting, and the commander-in-chief of this mission, Bai Hongxian, came over and said, "Chairman, Chief, X-KT01 is fully prepared and ready to take off at any time."

Dong Chen looked at the No. [-] chief and the deputy chief, and said politely, "Chief, why don't you come and issue the take-off order?"

"Haha, why am I here? Xiaoyu and I can be in charge of take-off procedures, satellite coordination, and the deployment of Yuanwang survey ships. Your company, you should do it yourself." Chief No. [-] said with a smile.

Dong Chen knew that this would be the result, so he just asked politely, so he gestured to Chief No. [-] and Deputy Director Yu, then turned his head and said to Bai Hongxian, "Commander Bai, let's start, I guess the people outside I'm also in a hurry."

"Okay, Chairman."

Bai Hongxian was the manager who was pulled over for training that time. He was about the same age as Gao Ze and the others. After returning, he became the task commander because of his outstanding performance.

He went to the main console and pressed the intercom and said, "X-KT01, X-KT01, this is the arc light control center, you can take off, you can take off."

"Arc control center, X-KT01 understands, take off immediately."

On the special runway, the aerospace plane whose engine has been preheated for a long time slowly began to slide under the attention of everyone. Hot golden red flames spewed out from the nozzles of the two engines, and the video recorder next to it could see that the air near the nozzles was Shaking violently.

In the shot, the X-KT01 aerospace plane began to accelerate rapidly under this huge propulsion. It quickly crossed the runway and took off into the air in just a few seconds.

However, after the plane took off, it did not accelerate directly into the universe, but hovered in the sky and made simple to complex maneuvers to test the performance of the plane.

This is the advantage of aerospace aircraft, it can take off horizontally like an ordinary aircraft, and can maneuver like an ordinary fighter.

It can also fly in the atmosphere at a height of 12 to 25 kilometers at a hypersonic speed of 30 to 100 times the speed of sound.

And it can also be accelerated to directly enter the earth's orbit and become a space vehicle.

After returning to the atmosphere, it can land at an airport like an airplane.

This high degree of convenience and versatility makes it a means of transportation between heaven and earth freely.

However, this kind of versatility also means that its engine must also adapt to this kind of "universality", otherwise don't even think about it, and it is precisely this kind of comprehensive versatility that stumps everyone.

The technology of Arclight Aerospace is too advanced, completely abandoning the rocket launch technology, and simplifying a lot of equipment and operating devices. What you see most here in the integrated command center are all kinds of large and small screens.

Each screen has different data, and the staff are meticulously watching the changes in the data.

There are many data on it, such as temperature, flight altitude, atmospheric pressure, aircraft speed, fuel consumption, aircraft sealing, and so on.

In the above data, even a small change after a decimal point needs to be recorded in detail, and it can even cause the tension of the on-site technicians.

At the same time, no matter whether they were watching on the spot or in the webcast room, they couldn't help but pay attention to the aerospace plane in the sky and the dexterous white elf.
