Chapter 408 The world’s top aerospace club

If you don't mind that the aircraft in the sky is slightly rounder in appearance than a fighter jet, then its current display movements are completely the flexible movements of a fighter jet. Who would have thought that it is actually a spacecraft that can fly outside the atmosphere.

When people think of spacecraft, they usually think of big cylindrical rockets and big-bellied space shuttles. They are not flexible and compact anyway. I have never seen anything so flexible.

However, this long-term hovering and maneuvering experiment also puzzled those who were purely watching the excitement, making them feel that this was really an airplane, right?

Although its performance is good and shocking, they came here because of the name of "aerospace plane". After admiring its heroic appearance for a while, some people have already started to set the pace on the Internet.

The people at Arc Light Aerospace also noticed this, but they didn't say anything. Now they are deeply influenced by Dong Chen, and they like to slap facts in the face.

Besides, a lot of big shots from the country are sitting here, and Arclight Aerospace’s demeanor must of course be shown.

Bai Hongxian was in charge of the overall command. The staff below reported that all the experimental data for the first phase had been collected and the second phase of the supersonic experiment could be carried out.

He informed the aerospace plane, "X-KT01, X-KT01, the first phase is over, all data is normal. Very good, now start accelerating and enter the second phase of the experiment."

Upon receiving the notice, X-KT01 immediately stopped the maneuvering experiment and began to turn to the predetermined direction and turn on the afterburner. After accelerating, the aircraft broke through the sound barrier almost instantly.

Since the plane did not fly too high to see its shadow, there were terrifying screams in the sky as the plane flew. However, no one felt fear, but instead felt excited.

This is interesting to watch, this is what they want to see.

After a period of experiments, the "aircraft" part of the aerospace plane has been completely tested, and Arc Light Aerospace is also very satisfied with the experimental results.

Next comes the last item, which is the most important item, breaking through the atmosphere and entering space orbit.

And this is what other people are most concerned about, whether it can take off directly from the ground and into space.

People who are knowledgeable already know that the capability of this X-KT01 is no worse than that of current fighter jets. Although it has three pilots and its body is slightly rounded, this does not affect its comparison with fighter jets.

Many people think that as long as it carries ammunition, it will be a new type of fighter jet.

They have thought about the place for loading ammunition. As long as some fuel is reduced, it will be more than enough to free up a magazine.

What surprised them most was that this was a Chinese private company. A Chinese private company could actually build advanced "fighters." This was a private arms company in the strict sense, and China actually allowed this company to exist.

China is a socialist country, so this situation is absolutely unacceptable.

It's just that they don't know, don't talk about it, Arc Light Group doesn't know how many times it has secretly traded with the country, and the country's reform needs a guinea pig, and Arc Light is willing to be this guinea pig, and it is super strong, and both parties "like each other" , that’s really a perfect fit.

In fact, this plane is not too small. It is about the size of Dong Chen's "Black Hawk" and is more than 20 meters long. However, the technology is far inferior to that of the "Black Hawk". The internal equipment takes up a lot of space, but that's it. There is a space that is not too big or too small.

However, considering that there were a lot of flight experiments to be done for the first time, the waste of fuel must be very serious, so we simply modified the cargo compartment and turned it into a second fuel tank, so we did not even use fuel after completing the "aircraft" phase of the experiment. Add it again and you can start the experiment in the "spacecraft" phase directly.

At this time, the importance of the country is reflected, and the country's complete aerospace system plays a big role.

Although Dong Chen has very advanced satellites, only a few people know about them. Currently, telemetry and tracking of aerospace aircraft still rely on the state.

Of course, ArcLight also took the initiative to request it and handed over some data to the Chinese Space Administration.

The current live broadcast room can no longer see all the real-time flying figures of the aerospace plane, because the aerospace plane has flown to no one knows where. Anyway, it is no longer visible to the naked eye and ordinary equipment. Now you can only hear a sound. The familiar "XX found the target, the radar tracking is normal! The telemetry signal is normal!"

However, Arc Light also has its own unique secret skills. Although the real-time images are difficult to create now, the animations made in advance are still quite good.

Ten minutes after the real-time screen disappeared, the live broadcast room showed the command center of Arc Light Aerospace for a while, and then immediately cut to the pre-made animation.

The white aerospace plane was flying "slowly" in the sky, and the curvature of the sea surface was clearly visible below, and it could be felt that its height was already quite high.

These are all scenes that are completely displayed with the texture of a science fiction blockbuster. If the words "simulation animation" were not very conspicuous in the corner of the video, the audience might think that someone was playing a 1080P ultra-clear live broadcast next to the aerospace plane.

That feeling is quite exciting.

The audience was excited to see it, and the three astronauts in the sky were even more excited.

Zhu Heshu, Zhang Zijian, and Li Xiaoning were three of the astronauts who went to train. After completing the training at the training center and Arc Light Aerospace, they were selected as the test pilots because of their outstanding performance.

Now they only feel that the sky is high and the sea is vast, and this is their own new world.

They were originally members of the security company Thunder Guard. They used to crawl around on the ground, thinking that wearing a powered exoskeleton would be the pinnacle of their lives. Who would have thought that now they can already look down at the ground from such a high place? .

The three of them were wearing seat belts and were pressed firmly into their seats, but their expressions were very relaxed. The only person who could do this was Dong Chen's body enhancer.

Rumble... The plane that was only trembling a little began to shake violently. However, the equipment in the cabin was not affected in any way. It just made them feel a little uncomfortable.

"Recording, starting to pass through the atmosphere, communication temporarily failed, but all equipment is operating normally." Main pilot Zhu Heshu said after checking each reading.

"Everything else was fine, but it was shaking so much that I almost vomited," the co-pilot Zhang Zijian complained from the side.

"Haha, this is the first generation of space shuttle. It is normal to have this problem. It is estimated that it will not change much in the future. However, future passenger aircraft will definitely work on this aspect, just like the difference between passenger aircraft and military aircraft. What we want is performance." Backup driver Li Xiaoning said, and then he also said, "But it's really too shaky."

"Okay, pay attention to the equipment readings and alarms. I finally got up last time. I don't want to be dragged down by you two. I'm about to leave the atmosphere," Zhu Heshu said beside him.

"Okay, Commander," Zhang Zijian said seriously, "I will not blink an eye."

Li Xiaoning laughed when he saw him like this, and while looking at the readings of the equipment in front of him, he said, "Commander, you have forgotten that Zhang Zijian is someone who can operate accurately while chatting with the command center during simulation training."

"I don't care about that," Zhu Heshu said with a smile, "I am the commander this time, so you have to do what I say and listen to him when he becomes the commander next time."

While they were chatting and checking in a relaxed manner, they suddenly felt a lightness in their bodies. If they were not wearing seat belts, they might have floated.

This sudden change made them a little uncomfortable.

One moment, I was pressed heavily on the seat, and with the plane still shaking violently, I dare say it was uncomfortable. The next moment, I was about to float easily, and my unconstrained arms were already floating. Such rapid speed The changes are somewhat illusory.

"I said, is this... breaking through the atmosphere?" Li Xiaoning said in disbelief when the incident came to pass.

"That's right," Commander Zhu Heshu answered him, and then immediately said seriously, "Arc light, arc light, this is X-KT01, this is X-KT01, we have left the atmosphere and entered the earth's orbit, and the flight status is normal! "

"Repeat, we have left the atmosphere and entered the earth's orbit, and the flight status is normal!"

Just when he said these words, Arc Light Aerospace Exploration Company had undisputedly entered the top aerospace club on earth.

I wish everyone... a happy Valentine's Day as much as possible, hey
