God-level Trader of Rebirth

Chapter 501 Reactions from all parties

"Inspection completed, all crew members have been secured." The co-pilot's voice sounded a little harsh.

He is the second commander of the team. He is usually responsible for assisting Zhang Yan in managing the entire flight team. When necessary, he will take over Zhang Yan's duties.

Zhang Yan also finished checking his retainers. He took a deep breath and turned on the driving button of the Tiandao assistance system: "Tiandao intelligent assistance system, take over driving."

"Command: Exit the atmosphere!"

"The ultimate goal: reach 800 kilometers of low-Earth orbit!"

At the first cosmic speed, a huge overload of 7.9 kilometers per second, he was unable to flexibly control the aerospace plane and fly correctly.

Especially when switching between different engines, between manual operation and computer control, he still prefers to trust the computer.

Anyway, this is flying directly upward according to the established track. Between power conversions, the artificial intelligence does not suffer from their overload and can always remain awake and extremely sensitive.

As long as the flight is not complicated, the intelligent driving system is still very useful.

On the pilot's control, the red and green lights flashed on and off, and the electronic sound spread to all the crew members.

"The Tiandao Intelligent System has officially taken over flight control."

"Command, leave the atmosphere, ultimate goal: reach 800 kilometers of low-Earth orbit and fly around the Blue Star."

"Please confirm the order!"

"Instruction confirmed!" Zhang Yan held the handrail tightly with both hands.

"The acceleration has been turned on. The aircraft will reach a top speed of Mach 35 within one minute. All crew members are asked to protect their own safety."

Although the Tiandao Intelligent System spoke of concern, its cold electronic voice was devoid of any emotion.

He suddenly felt a weight on his body, a huge pressure coming from the front, pressing him heavily on the back of the chair, unable to move.

The seat automatically adjusted with overload and tilted to 65 degrees, almost parallel to the deck floor.

Pressure from the abdomen and lower limbs causes blood to flow up to the head.

Even so, he felt that his brain was gradually lacking oxygen and his thoughts became wandering.

The image in front of me also seemed blurry.

In a daze, the violent vibrations of the aerospace plane became less intense, and the body seemed so light that it seemed to have no weight at all, floating in the endless universe.

The aerospace plane must have accelerated to over Mach 30 at this time.

That being said, we are almost out of the middle layer of the atmosphere.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the dashboard, only to find that the speed at this time was only Mach 28, which had not yet reached the second cosmic speed.

At this time, the altitude was only more than 80 kilometers away from the tropopause in the stratosphere.

The air in the stratosphere is very thin, and the shaking of the aerospace aircraft due to atmospheric resistance suddenly became calmer.

Below them were endless, continuous clouds.

The sun shines down from above, turning the entire cloud layer into a golden ocean.

Zhang Yan and others endured the aerospace plane flying at the speed of the second universe, not caring about any changes in the scenery outside the window.

Even the dazzling aurora, which traveled more than a hundred kilometers through the aurora belt, could not arouse their interest at all.

The rocket engine stopped, started, stopped, and reciprocated several times. Each time, after exceeding the second cosmic speed of 11 kilometers per second, it stopped the engine and continued to slide forward using inertia.

When the speed decreases, start the engine again and accelerate again.

Finally, Zhang Yan and the others' ordeal came to an end. The speed of the aerospace plane slowly slowed down, and it slowly entered a low-Earth orbit of 800 kilometers.

Here, they only need to use the first cosmic speed (about eight kilometers per second) to make uniform circular motion around the blue star.

Since the flight speed just offset the gravity of the earth, Zhang Yan and others felt their whole bodies relax, and their bodies gradually floated up. They were only restrained on the seats to prevent them from floating away.

In fact, the gravity of the earth's core has not been completely offset. This is not a completely weightless environment, but a microgravity environment.

They only need to use very little force to exert a forward motion.

However, Zhang Yan and others were no longer able to notice this tiny difference. In front of them was a brilliant starry sky.

Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the sun's rays are so dazzling that people dare not look directly at them.

This is outer space. We have flown from the ground to outer space!

This height can already provide a very broad view of the entire Blue Star.

This altitude is more than twice the highest altitude reached by Yang Liwei during the Shenzhou 5 manned space flight in 2003!

It also exceeds the height of the International Space Station jointly built by 16 countries including Japan, Canada, Brazil and the European Space Agency!

Looking up from the ground, the stars are just shining faintly, so bright at this time.

Stars are scattered all over the sky, forming a sea of ​​​​stars, like bright gems, inlaid on the dark curtain, you only need to reach out to pick them off.

"It's so charming!" A burst of heartfelt admiration sounded from Zhang Yan's intercom.

Everyone was looking at the stars outside the window, intoxicated.

Under the influence of the Blue Star's rotation, the aerospace plane orbits the Blue Star and relies on inertia to fly in an elliptical orbit.

At the nearest time, it was only 600 kilometers away from Blue Star, while at the farther time, it was more than 40,000 kilometers away.

Therefore, it only needs to change the orbit through the rocket engine during orbit, reach the Blue Star geostationary orbit, and fly around the equator to become an existence similar to the Blue Star geostationary satellite.

No need to consume much fuel.

Zhang Yan and the others only stayed in space for about sixty minutes, took a lot of photos, and already flew around the Blue Star.

While they are studying Blue Star and collecting relevant data through a large number of equipment carried by aerospace planes, they themselves have become the subject of research around the world.

When they initially conducted flight tests at low altitudes, due to the effect of invisible coating, the radar reflection area was small, and they were far away from foreign ultra-long-range radar stations, so they had not been discovered yet.

However, when they jumped to high altitude, there was no interference from a lot of clutter.

All over the world, countless radar stations, space detection devices, astronomical stations, as well as space stations and satellites in space have discovered their traces.

Countless eyes were focused on their aerospace plane.

Many people were frightened when they saw them accelerating upward at full speed. Was this a suicide impact or a transatmospheric flight?

As the aerospace plane's rocket engine started, no one doubted whether it was a transatmospheric vehicle.

They were all shocked by their findings!

When did the Chinese develop such an aircraft?

The most incredible thing here is the Americans.

As early as 1969, they proposed a plan to build a reusable space vehicle.

On February 1986, 2, then President Reagan announced in a speech at the convention that the United States would develop a new type of space shuttle-the National Aeronautics and Space Shuttle, or aerospace shuttle.

This marked that the United States began formal development of aerospace aircraft at that time.

However, the manufacturing of an aerospace aircraft is very difficult, involving technical issues such as the combination and conversion of three engines, high-strength and high-temperature-resistant material requirements, and a control system with artificial intelligence.

Therefore, this project has always been carried out intermittently, and there is sometimes a shortage of investment funds.

It depends on some aircraft companies to conduct small-scale experiments through obtaining funds from Congress, and they can barely survive.

It was not until last year (2011) that it was completely terminated by Congress because the cost budget and development difficulty were too high.

However, the Chinese people were silent and suddenly came up with such a mature aerospace aircraft. This was really shocking!

And judging from the blurry images captured by their satellite, judging from the size of this aircraft, it is likely to be a manned flight!

Didn't they just launch the Shenzhou 8 unmanned spacecraft and the first target aircraft into space some time ago?

Judging from this, their aerospace technology should be at least forty years behind ours!

However, how come in the blink of an eye, they have developed an aerospace aircraft, an aircraft that is still in the theoretical stage?

And also had such a successful flight?

Even if the two technologies are parallel, this technological gap is too big, so big that analysts can hardly turn their heads.

The Houston Space Center and all space devices are aimed at Zhang Yan and the others.

They really couldn't understand China's inexplicable behavior.

Shock, congratulations and doubts for countries around the world.

In fact, Hua Xia himself was extremely surprised, worried and shocked.

When Zhang Yan and others flew the aerospace aircraft to high altitudes, the first thing they discovered about its existence was not the foreign long-range surveillance radar network, but the ground radar station of the Southwest Division.
