Chapter 500 Breaking out of the atmosphere

The Kadena radar station in the island country detected an unusual atmospheric flight in China yesterday.

An aircraft of unknown type took off in the southwest inland area, hovered at an altitude of 10,000 meters for more than half an hour, accelerated to fifteen Gs, slid for hundreds of kilometers, and rushed out of the atmosphere.

After that, the aircraft used rocket boosting to fly to a low orbit more than 800 kilometers above the ground.

During this period, the rocket engine was shut down several times and it flew in a gliding mode.

This is the first time that humans have an aircraft that takes off directly from the ground, flies into space, and reaches low orbit.

The International Space Station confirmed that yesterday, a new model of China's inter-space vehicle successfully entered a low orbit and flew around the Blue Star along the orbit.

Subsequently, the aircraft used its own propulsion system to perform multiple maneuvers, change its orbit, and finally escaped the constraints of the blue star's gravity and flew into space. "

Mauritian and Russian astronaut Sergei believes that "it is time for China to join the space club, and politics should not be allowed to become a stumbling block that hinders countries from carrying out space exploration."

The Houston Space Center confirmed, "China's new aircraft indeed took off from the ground and went directly into outer space. It is not yet clear whether its behavior of flying around the Blue Star is to show off or what."

The European Space Agency issued a statement saying, "Yesterday, China performed the first feat in human history of taking off from the ground and directly entering deep space."

"After hearing the news, many scientists expressed that China's technological advancement was unexpected and reasonable."

"China has a population of 1.3 billion and graduates more than 6 million college students every year. It has the richest talent pool in the world."

"From the development of science and technology in recent years, it can be seen that China will surely become a world power. The 21st century is destined to be the Chinese century. Europe is willing to work with China to carry out broader cooperation for the progress of human civilization. "

A member of the European Space Agency who asked not to be named said, "Europe is interested in leasing China's transatmospheric spacecraft to build a new scientific research space station."

"Is it a threat or an opportunity? We need to think clearly about this issue. The government of the island country said that the situation of cold politics and hot economy should be completely corrected."

"China and the island countries are separated by a strip of water and have thousands of years of exchanges. It is a foolish act to contain them. We should change our ways."

"The Korean Daily reported that the Chinese people came to the Northeast Asian Peninsula more than 2,000 years ago, and the earliest ancient kingdom of Chaox was established by people from the Central Plains."

Zhang Yan was pressed into the seat by the huge overload.

I can barely move my hands.

He felt that the skin on his face seemed to be pulled and deformed by a huge overload, as if it was about to fall off his face.

This is already their 22nd test flight.

The previous few times were all tests of ground take-off and landing, and low-altitude flight capabilities, and did not directly fly to high altitudes.

Although the aerospace plane is an aircraft that can fly both within the atmosphere and in outer space, due to its special shape design, it is still quite difficult to maneuver within the atmosphere.

Although there is a Tiandao intelligent system to assist in the operation, they still feel nervous every time they take off and land.

They dare not completely hand over their lives to cold artificial intelligence.

Although this thing responds quickly, if it is used to fly an airplane, it relies on data transmitted by various sensors.

If any of the sensors fail, it will still drive as normal.

If you believe it completely, you can only sit back and wait for death.

The surface of the aerospace aircraft is coated with stealth paint, which can effectively reduce the reflection area of ​​radar waves.

From the radar, people will feel that this is a small aircraft.

Of course, this is when flying at low altitude and low speed. As long as the speed increases, even a fool can tell that this is a supersonic aircraft.

Moreover, due to the size of the radar reflected waves, many people will mistake it for a hypersonic fighter jet.

Zhang Yan and his crew first used the turbine engine and hovered at low altitude for a while. The airflow in the mountainous area is very unstable, and the crew members are all on the highest alert, with sweat in their hands for fear that the plane will hit the top of the mountain.

After that, under the command from the ground, Zhang Yan and the others began to fly the aerospace plane upwards, and the speed gradually increased to Mach 3.

For a turbine engine, this speed is close to the limit for this model.

Because the aerospace plane is equipped with more than one engine, no one dares to raise it to the theoretical limit of Mach 5.

They prefer to use rocket boost to accelerate.

Researchers at the base have improved the rocket engine so that it can start and stop multiple times, thereby maximizing the effectiveness of the rocket engine.

Instead of wasting precious fuel during acceleration, you can use taxiing to increase the range.

The overload at this time is already considerable, and ordinary people may not even be able to withstand this level of pressure.

But for Zhang Yan and the others, this is just a piece of cake.

Under the protection of anti-load compensatory suits, this overload only made them feel slightly uncomfortable.

But when the rocket boosters were turned on, they instantly felt a heavy pressure, pressing them into their seats.

The overload of Mach 5 reached their normal human body endurance limit.

Many movements, at this time, were extremely difficult to perform.

Only with the help of anti-gravity suits, they were able to withstand the increasing overload and continue to control the aerospace aircraft to climb upward.

The rocket booster only ran for a short time and then shut down.

Because at this speed, the scramjet engine has reached the starting conditions.

The huge roar, even though it was in a closed cockpit, was clearly transmitted to the cockpit.

The aerospace plane has flown to an altitude of twenty kilometers above the ground.

This is the ultimate flying height that traditional fighter jets can reach.

Zhang Yan, with the assistance of his co-pilot, was still balancing the speed of the aerospace plane.

Mach 5, Mach 7, Mach 8, and then Mach 12 reached the high-altitude cruising speed before he stopped accelerating.

In the high altitude, he felt that the heavy aerospace plane had become much lighter, and he could perform many actions more freely.

Although the anti-gravity suit made his movements a little slow, his operational skills also made it easier for him to control the aerospace plane.

It is indeed a transatmospheric aircraft!

Only in this high altitude with thin air can its true value be reflected!

"Attention, Kongtian-1 special service team, let's proceed to the second subject test: transatmospheric flight!"

The sound in the earphones had some strange changes due to unstable signal reception due to ultra-high-speed flight.

"The Kongtian-1 special service team understands and will proceed to the next test subject."

Zhang Yan repeated the instructions to the ground command, then turned on the intercom, "Everyone, check the fixtures. We are about to accelerate to above Mach 23 and fly across the atmosphere."

"Roger that!"

The members of the air and space special service team all checked their fixtures.

Everyone knows the consequences of falling off the flight seat during a high-G flight at Mach 23, the first cosmic speed.

No one wants to become a pile of meat, nor do they want their flesh and blood to damage the instruments inside the cabin.
