Chapter 638 The Crisis of the Xinghai(2/2)
It’s too late. The Xinghai is a little too far away from us, and it’s still outside the airspace.”
Xu Chuan shook his head and stared at the radar chart, saying: "The problem shouldn't be big. I have asked someone to switch the flight mode. The speed of Mach 6...can't catch up with the Xinghai, which is flying at full speed.
.”
How far the Xinghai can reach in space at full speed has not been tested.
It is not convenient to test this in low-Earth orbit. After all, if it goes out of control, it may accidentally hit the earth like a meteorite, causing great damage to the ground and causing some adverse international effects.
Therefore, this extreme test will be carried out during subsequent moon landings and fire landings.
But the flight within the atmosphere had its first extreme test yesterday morning.
When the fusion reactor and aerospace engine are operating at full power, the speed of Xinghai can approach Mach 15.
This is the speed when air working fluid is used as the propulsion working fluid. If it is replaced with a xenon working fluid with higher propulsion efficiency, the speed can be increased a bit. However, in this state, the xenon working fluid is consumed very quickly.
At present, the Xinghai has less than 50% of the xenon working fluid left, and it can operate at full power and overload for about half an hour at most.
But this is enough. The xenon refrigerant with high propulsion efficiency can accelerate the Xinghai to the fastest speed in the first time, and get rid of two Mach 6 missiles. There is no problem at all.
The most dangerous time is when the Xinghai accelerates, that is, when it takes off from the ground, it takes a certain amount of time to gradually increase its speed to the limit.
If you are attacked during this process, there is still a risk.
Fortunately, this process is basically carried out in domestic space centers and airspace, and there is no danger.
As of now, Xinghai has just broken through the critical point and is at an altitude of forty or fifty kilometers. Although its speed has dropped a lot, it still has a flying speed of several Mach.
In this case, it is not a problem to increase the power of the aerospace engine and adjust the flight trajectory to throw away the two guide sheets.
.......
Hearing this, Yang Han's heart relaxed a lot.
The Xinghai is currently located over the high seas. If it crashes now, the remaining aircraft will most likely fall into the hands of the person who launched the missile.
On top, there are not only aerospace engines and miniaturized controllable nuclear fusion reactors, but also various top technologies such as improved superconducting materials and vector propulsion.
It can be said that their current leadership in the aerospace field can be found on the Xinghai.
If the wreckage of the Xinghai falls into the hands of the other party, the seriousness of the consequences can be imagined.
Fortunately, when the space launch of Xinghai was carried out, the space agency and senior officials thought that this might happen, and took certain preventive measures, such as satellites and radars to track the entire process, and installed the latest equipment on Xinghai.
Advanced radar measurement and control equipment, etc.
But these measures are more aimed at preventing the Xinghai from unexpected situations during its flight and falling into the high seas or the territory of other countries.
We have considered the possibility of others launching missiles to try to knock down the Xinghai, but this possibility is not high.
In aerospace activities around the world, even during the competition between red and blue in the last century, there has never been a case of knocking down an opponent's spacecraft.
Staring at the Xinghai speeding up on the radar map, Yang Han gritted his steel teeth with a gloomy face.
This is not over yet!
Even if the Xinghai space shuttle can get rid of these two missiles, they can't let this matter go!
The launch trajectory and route of the missile can be speculated, and he must find out who is doing such dirty things!
