The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

The engine of the heavy-lift launch vehicle has completed its first test run, but it is still quite a long way from being usable.

But NASA can't wait.

They are racing against time.

They must hurry up and complete the launch of a lunar probe at least once.

So, at the order of the big boss, NASA decided to launch a lunar probe in early April 2005!
They were too anxious. In fact, they hadn't made any preparations at all!

There was only one thought in their minds at this moment: they could not fall behind China!
In fact, they are already lagging behind.

China has successfully collected and returned samples from the moon.

If they didn't hurry up and complete this task, they felt that they would never have the chance to land on the moon before China.

One morning on April 4, before the sun came up, Nelson personally directed the launch.

This time, they successfully sent the lunar probe into the preset orbit.

The rocket didn't explode!

Nelson was almost going crazy with joy!

He originally thought that there would be another accident this time.

But this time, God clearly blessed.

NASA's probe successfully reached lunar orbit via the lunar transfer orbit.

At this time, all the elites of Jusa were in ecstasy.

They have already bought off a large number of media and celebrities to hype them up.

It's like they've already put a man on the moon.

Their shameless placement of their probe into lunar orbit was a huge success for humanity…

However, two days later, when their probe was descending to the surface of the moon, it had a hard landing, crashed into the ground, and broke into pieces!

They failed!
They originally wanted to catch up with China through this launch, but unfortunately, they were so lame that they couldn't even ensure the smooth descent of the lunar probe.

The scene of their probe breaking down was directly captured by China's satellite.

Then, this video was widely circulated on the global Internet media.

They were laughed at by people all over the world.

Just a few days after NASA's disastrous failure, China successfully launched a lunar probe again.

This time the lunar probe is obviously much larger, and it is more than enough to accommodate two astronauts.

The probe launched by China successfully landed on the back of the moon this time.

One side of the moon always faces away from the earth.

This is because the Earth's gravity slows down the Moon's rotation until the Moon's rotation period is the same as its revolution period around the Earth, forming a state of equilibrium.

When the moon's rotation period slows down to the same as its revolution period (that is, the time it takes to orbit the earth), the moon forms a special state: one of its sides is always facing the earth, while the other side is always facing away from the earth.

This phenomenon actually not only occurs on the moon, but the satellites of many other planets also exhibit similar patterns.

Landing on the back side of the moon is an achievement that neither Big Bear nor Yusa has ever accomplished!
Therefore, China’s success this time once again shocked the world.

This also proves one thing once again, that is: China's aerospace technology is already unparalleled in the world!

China Aerospace also did a live broadcast this time.

When people saw that China's aerospace probe was so huge, yet it was able to land steadily on the surface of the moon, everyone was stunned.

Because this shows that China actually already has the technology to carry out manned lunar landing!

However, China still did not implement a manned lunar landing, but continued to use an unmanned lunar landing method.

Nelson naturally watched the entire live broadcast of China Aerospace.

He watched with envy and jealousy.

Nelson kept shaking his head as he watched, muttering, "What are they doing? Damn it! They already have the ability to land a man on the moon! However, they are still testing unmanned moon landings!"

"If I had this kind of technology and equipment, I would immediately implement a manned lunar landing! I believe it will be successful!"

"What a pity! It's so difficult for us to even carry out an unmanned probe to land on the moon."

Nelson decided that he must try again as soon as possible.

As long as we can achieve the step of sampling and returning, then we can implement manned lunar landing!
……

It is said that in early June 2005, in a huge factory workshop in Chang'an City, the Luanniao aerospace carrier was being assembled in a tense and busy manner.

Zhang Zhipeng was personally on site, controlling every detail of the assembly process.

He must make sure that there are no mistakes in every step!
He had to make sure the assembly was completed successfully.

Assembly work started in early 2005.

After half a year of assembly, the Luanniao aerospace mothership is finally almost completed.

Today, the final installation of the powertrain system is underway.

The two controlled nuclear fusion reactors have been basically installed.

This is the most important power system of the aerospace carrier.

It was tested several times before being installed on the ship.

Generally speaking, its various test indicators are all quite excellent.

Once these two reactors are put into use, they can last for two to three years at a time.

In other words, the Luanniao aerospace mothership can stay in space for a long time, monitor all unknown dangers, and quickly counterattack.

While Zhang Zhipeng was developing and assembling the Luanniao aerospace mothership, he also developed the Xuannv fighter.

If an aerospace carrier has no fighter jets, its combat effectiveness will be greatly limited.

The power of the Xuannv fighter consists of a force field drive device and a variable cycle engine.

It can carry a pulse particle accelerator cannon pod and a variety of guided weapons.

It can rely on the large platform of Luanniao aerospace mothership to undertake various tasks such as air control, penetration and terminal strike.

The aircraft is 24.6 meters long, has a wingspan of 14.1 meters, an empty weight of up to 23.9 meters, and a standard mission weight of up to 47.2 tons!
The maximum take-off weight reaches 51.9 tons!
Its cruising speed in the atmosphere can reach Mach 2.34, and its maximum speed in the atmosphere can reach Mach 4.8. In outer space, its speed can reach the second cosmic speed.

The cycle of a single mission can last up to half a month.

Its weapon system includes: pod-mounted pulse particle accelerator, small laser rapid-fire cannon, ultra-high-speed medium- and long-range air-to-air missiles, and ultra-high-speed short-range air-to-air missiles.

In addition to the variable cycle engine and induction force field drive device, its power system also has a high-density energy core.

The so-called high-density energy core is a technology that can store electrical energy in a small volume, high density and high energy.

In fact, humans have been researching this technology.

However, for a long time, no breakthroughs have been made.

Zhang Zhipeng's team also conducted long-term research and finally completed this technology in September 2004.

With this technology, a small energy storage center can store up to 50 kWh of electricity.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Under the witness of Zhang Zhipeng, the aerospace mothership and the Xuannv fighter were being assembled and manufactured at an accelerated pace.

He saw that the aerospace carrier was about to be completed.

As many as 10 Xuannv fighter jets have been assembled.

After the successful assembly of the Xuannv fighter, it caused a sensation in China.

The head of the Air Force, Chang Zhengsheng, and the head of the Air Force Equipment Department, Qiao Guanyuan, both rushed over.

Of course, Guo Zaijie also came.

After seeing the Xuannv fighter plane, Chang Zhengsheng was amazed.

"Comrade Zhipeng! I just want to know one thing: which generation of fighter is this plane?" Chang Zhengsheng asked.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Comrade Zhengsheng, from now on, don't use the generation system to name fighter planes."

"Our fighter plane can be said to be a real space fighter!"

Qiao Guanyuan asked with a smile: "Can we fly directly into space from the ground?" Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "Absolutely no problem."

"This fighter can reach a maximum speed of Mach 4.8 in the atmosphere!"

"So, it's perfectly capable of getting into space quickly."

Guo Zaijie asked: "So, how far can it fly?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "It can definitely fly to the moon."

"But we certainly can't take any risks for now."

Zhang Zhipeng's words caused a commotion and everyone was a little excited.

"Comrade Zhipeng, can this plane be tested?" Chang Zhengsheng asked.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded happily: "Of course."

“It’s not some fancy model.”

"This is a truly formidable fighter."

"All the fighter planes in the world are nothing compared to it. None of them are good enough!"

Zhang Zhipeng sounded a bit arrogant when he said this.

But he has the capital to be crazy.

Guo Zaijie smiled and said, "Then let's test fly it in the next two days."

"Let's see what its specific capabilities are."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Then let's test fly it today."

"By the way, I also want to see what its true strength is. Haha!"

A Xuannv fighter plane was towed from the factory to the square outside by a tractor.

Outside this giant workshop is a large square.

The square is very large, covering an area of ​​10 square meters.

Moreover, its construction specifications are very high. It is paved with the hardest and most resilient alloy floor tiles, and underneath is a reinforced concrete foundation more than 5 meters thick.

The construction cost of just such a square is more than 10 billion yuan.

Everyone followed the Xuannv fighter plane to the outer square.

"I'm afraid this needs to be transported to the airport runway for takeoff?" Chang Zhengsheng said at this time.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "No need!"

"We can definitely make it take off right here!"

Chang Zhengsheng and others were very surprised: "Take off here?"

“There’s no runway here.”

"Although the ground is relatively flat, I don't think it's suitable for takeoff, right?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "This fighter jet doesn't actually need a runway. It can take off and land vertically very quickly."

"Oh!? Vertical take-off and landing? The lift required is quite huge..." Qiao Guanyuan said beside him.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Yes, it does require a lot of lift."

"However, there is absolutely no problem with the fighter's power system."

Chang Zhengsheng scratched his head and said, "Then I'll get two test pilots over right away."

When testing a new fighter jet, we definitely need a test pilot.

This time, Chang Zhengsheng and others came here just to visit.

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Don't look for a test pilot for now."

"Just let the fighter's built-in intelligent system fly itself."

Chang Zhengsheng said: "Is it really okay?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Not at all!"

"Our artificial intelligence system is now relatively mature."

Next, the test flight begins.

Under the witness of a group of big men, this Xuannv fighter burst out with huge thrust. There was no fire or thick smoke. The fighter plane soared straight up into the sky.

Moreover, the speed is quite fast.

With a "whoosh", it flew high into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the fighter plane had disappeared.

During this test flight, the Xuannv fighter jet took only 30 seconds to fly to an altitude of over 4 meters.

Too light.

The speed is really too fast.

It's almost unbelievable.

You should know that before this, the highest ceiling of fighter jets was only about 2 meters, and the fastest speed was just over Mach 2.

Of course, an altitude of more than 4 meters is not the limit of the Xuannv fighter at all.

It can fully utilize orbit to enter the deeper universe.

The Xuannv fighter jet flew in space for a full hour before accurately landing vertically at the take-off point.

Moreover, it landed so lightly.

Chang Zhengsheng, Guo Zaijie and others began to applaud enthusiastically.

Guo Zaijie said with emotion: "Comrade Zhipeng! I am really impressed!"

"I didn't expect that such a sci-fi fighter jet could be turned into reality by you."

Chang Zhengsheng laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Damn it, doesn't that mean we now truly have a global fighter jet?"

"And it only takes one hour to cruise around the entire globe!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "That's true."

"Once our Luanniao Aerospace Carrier succeeds, we can defend our sphere of influence with just one aerospace carrier! We can shock the whole world!"

"By that time, little Jusa will be just buzzing like a fly."

……

NASA struggled again in August 2005, when it launched another lunar probe.

However, this time, the result was not as good as last time.

Last time, it managed to crash the lunar rover onto the moon.

This time, it didn't even make it to the lunar orbit; the rocket lost contact and could no longer receive any signal.

This is really tragic.

In November 2005, China announced a big event: it was going to carry out a manned lunar landing!
One day in early November of that year, China Aerospace's heavy-duty rocket was launched again.

This time, they broadcast live around the world.

The two astronauts were successfully sent to the front side of the moon and landed safely.

More than 10 billion people around the world witnessed this grand event.

Two Chinese astronauts conducted scientific research activities on the moon for more than an hour. They also announced on the moon that China will start building a lunar base in the next two years!
Subsequently, the two Chinese astronauts returned to the lunar orbit in the return capsule and then returned to Earth.

The entire process was broadcast live, and the entire moon landing and return process was so smooth.

It caused a global sensation.

Everyone is praising China's great success!

Of course, Nelson, NASA, and a small group of people on the lizard side were shouting hysterically, saying "it's fake, everything is fake", but no one would believe them.

However, many people do not believe that China can build a lunar base in more than two years. (End of this chapter)
