Everyone knows that when ordering six aerospace planes, this is not what they want to send to the country, and it does not really need so many backups.

Since the space flight can be shuttled back and forth and reused, it is enough to have two or three aircraft.

As long as it is not a world war, buying more space planes is just a waste of money - especially now that every space plane is so expensive.

The meaning of the country is to use the past few years to focus on the research of alloy formulas. The orders for six aerospace planes are just to stabilize the South African engine company and allow them to continue to produce aerospace plane engines and provide qualified alloy materials.

As long as you have a qualified alloy formula, you can completely avoid relying on outsiders and take all the technology of aerospace planes into your own hands.

After that, you can no longer look at others' expressions, and whether you will buy alloy materials from that South African engine company, and you will also reconsider them based on cost factors.

Later on, we will try to reduce the manufacturing cost of airplanes-related components so that they can be produced in large quantities and cheaply to supply the needs of different departments in military, scientific research, commercial and civilian industries.

Before this, aerospace planes could only become part of the national strategic force and were strictly controlled.

It turns out that the selected astronauts all received the latest training. They also had to continue to receive training under relevant space weight loss conditions. At the same time, they also received training on aerospace plane simulation trainers in the mountainous areas of the southwest.

All the astronauts are selected from the elites of the tens of thousands of air force pilots in the army, and their driving skills are outstanding. The psychological quality, experience, and on-site reactions are all elites. Learning the driving skills of Kongtian airplane is just a piece of cake for them. Compared with the pain of Han Kun and the others receiving training, it is a world of difference.

When flying out of the atmosphere, the high G overload the human body is subjected to and the weightless reaction it faces after entering space are two gradually opposite extremes.

In order to adapt to these two extreme reactions, Han Kun and others underwent a lot of hard training.

For several pilots, this was an inhuman torture.

But for this group of specially selected astronauts, such training is nothing. The pilots themselves are one in a hundred, and the astronauts are even one out of thousands, and their endurance to various extreme conditions is beyond ordinary pilots.

In March 2007, the annual military exercise began again.

The exercise is as in previous years. It is divided into two parts: real-time military exercises and Pangu World Front-scale Confrontation Virtual Exercise.

What's slightly different this year is that the subject inspection of tens of thousands of pilots in the army is more stringent. Many inspection subjects are so difficult that they are almost impossible to complete. This tests the pilot's skills, it is simply an extreme test for all pilots.

Tens of thousands of pilots are numerous elites. Under such harsh inspection conditions, hundreds of pilots still stood out, either smoothly or lucky enough to pass the exercise of the Air Force Operations Command inspection.

They immediately underwent further psychological and physical tests and sent military investigators to conduct strict political reviews on their families.

Every time you pass the level, a group of pilots will be eliminated. In the later stage, there will be less than 30 pilots left.

What's even more strange is that when the pilots were tested, there were still many soldiers who were not pilots who were also undergoing various tests.

Some of these people are excellent ground flight machinery maintenance engineers, some are pure space researchers, some are tank gunners, some are airborne soldiers, and they also include special forces soldiers, etc., covering all ground military branches.

At this point, all pilots understood that this was not a regular exercise test, but an unusual selection. The military had to select an elite force from their group to carry out secret missions.

At the end of the exercise, the selection also reached a critical moment.

There are twelve pilots left, including mechanical maintenance engineers, airborne troops, special forces soldiers and other military personnel, and there are only more than 30 people left.

They were then taken to the airport by a military bus, and a large military transport plane was waiting for them.

Everyone got on the plane and took off immediately after they took a seat on the canvas suspender seats on both sides of the cabin.

Although the selected pilots sat in the cabin, there were no instruments in front of them, no compass in their hands, and even the portholes were deliberately closed, so they could not see the outside environment. However, their years of training allowed their space orientation to judge extremely excellently. After the transport plane took off, it was unable to confuse them. When the plane flew towards the predetermined target, they immediately determined the direction of the flight.

"Southwest! We are flying southwest. With the airport as the center, the flight angle is about forty-seven degrees." After boarding the plane, a pilot who was close to his eyes and pretending to sleep suddenly opened his eyes and said.

"The flight altitude is 3,200 meters and the speed is 800 kilometers." Another pilot also said.

The other military personnel on the opposite side looked at them with dissatisfaction in their eyes: "Damn! Only you can see it! Damn, if we are not pilots, we don't have this ability? Who doesn't know this Il-76 transport aircraft and knows its normal flight speed, what's the point of being great? If you have the ability, just say, where is our final flight location?"

Before the pilots could speak, a colonel near the cabin door suddenly spoke: "The final flight is the Ya'an Military Sub-district of the Southwest Military Region. But this is not the end of our trip. The end should be more westward, and the specific location is ominous."

"Do you know?" As soon as he said this, the others suddenly became energetic and looked at him.

"I don't know, I guessed." The colonel stretched out his hand toward him, the major in the Marine uniform, "Zhuo Ying, colonel analyst at the Strategic Intelligence Office of the General Staff."

"Ke Jun, battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Marine Brigade." The major stretched out his big hand, held tightly with him, and asked strangely, "How do you guess our final destination is the Ya'an Military Sub-district?"

Everyone in the cabin was watching them.

Cabin and

Several officers stood at the entrance of the corridor, watching them talking, and without doing anything, they also stared at Colonel Zhuoying with scrutiny.

Zhuo Ying glanced at the reactions of everyone, stared at the officers at the entrance of the aisle, and said lightly: "This is not difficult to analyze. First of all, among us, there were twelve pilots, and the rest of the personnel included bomber machine gunners, tank gunners, aircraft maintenance engineers and other professions. It was clear that this mission should be mainly pilots, and we are auxiliary personnel."

The pilots on the hanging chair opposite all smiled satisfied and nodded in agreement.

Although the others were not convinced, they still admitted that Zhuo Yingdi's analysis was very correct after looking at the number of people.

"Secondly, the staff also include civilians like scientific researchers and me, which means that this is a complex comprehensive project. Moreover, based on their respective functional divisions, I judge that I should appear as the brain of this comprehensive marshal, that is, I am likely to be the selected supreme commander!" Zhuo Ying said calmly, and without any hesitation, he put himself in the role of supreme commander.

The cabin suddenly became chaotic.

Although the pilots did not agree with his analysis, even Major Ke Jun around him sneered: "I am also a commander and have experience in commanding the troops. Why is the supreme commander you, not me? I think your best role should be as a staff officer, not a commander."

A pilot opposite immediately retorted: "Air combat. The pilot's on-air judgment is the key to the victory. One of you is a staff officer who is pointing fingers in the air conditioning room, and the other is a battalion commander of the Marine Corps who lands in the operation. You are used to command us, laymen, experts, experts, absurd, absurd! As for the military rank, I am also a colonel, why can't I serve as a commander? If it is a mixed group, I think you are at most the commander of the air crew, but I should be the supreme commander of this unit!"

The pilots all laughed and disagreed with the table eagle's big words.

The auxiliary personnel did not participate. They knew that they were destined to be supporting roles. Whoever was the commander was only responsible for obeying orders. However, they also believed that if it was air combat, they were more inclined to have pilots as military chiefs.

The officer at the intersection of the corridor also looked at Zhuo Ying with an interest expression.

Zhuo Ying's expression remained unchanged and said indifferently: "This is not simple. Just look at the space researcher and you will know that this mission must be an outer space mission. Do you still understand the aerospace plane that was circulated a few days ago? We must enter space to carry out missions! The outer space environment is very different from the flight missions in the atmosphere. There is no big advantage between you pilots and us. And this composite marshal has clearly shown that I am the supreme commander. Major Ke Jun may be the leader of the security team, and you may be the supreme commander of the crew pilot. Isn't this clear at a glance?"

His words caused a thousand waves. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the local area started to shout excitedly. Even the few people with indifferent expressions just now showed an excited expression and started discussing with the people around him loudly.

Airplane pilots are now the most respected profession in China.

In early 2007, after several shuttle flight tests, the aerospace plane conducted another multi-orbit satellite deployment test. The aerospace plane successfully entered the low-Earth orbit of 800 kilometers, put two "scientific experimental satellites" into orbit with robotic arms, and after remote control adjustment, it successfully entered orbit and carried out work.

Subsequently, the aerospace plane entered a large elliptical orbit under the action of gravity.

When we reach the farthest point of the orbit and 24,000 kilometers away from the earth, three large "scientific experimental satellites" are placed into orbit. The ground station remotely controls the satellites to change space, enter the orbit from the far-earth orbit, and then change the orbit again, jumping into the geostationary orbit of 36,000 kilometers flying around the equator.

The five satellites weigh eleven tons in total, which was something that could not be done before using rockets.

Moreover, when the aerospace plane returned to the atmosphere, it also brought a scrapped Dongfanghong-2 satellite back to the ground in the near-Earth orbit.

This flight shocked the whole world again.

Satellite technology and space recovery satellite technology are deployed at one time. These were previously independently mastered by the United States, but now China has mastered them. Moreover, unlike the United States launches space shuttles, it is necessary to launch rockets under good weather conditions. China uses space shuttles to send up more than ten large satellites, dozens or hundreds of small satellites into space at any time.

In terms of cost, the space shuttle only consumes liquid hydrogen mixed fuel, and there is no need to abandon the fuel compartment. It is only one tenth or even one tenth of the space shuttle!

This is a big step forward compared to American technology!

The news was so exciting that when the TV screen of the sky plane returning to the ground came back, the whole country was jubilant and there were crowds of joy everywhere.

Who doesn’t want to be a glorious member of the space flight crew in the army?

At this time, they heard that they might have been selected to serve as members of the space plane and perform special tasks. For a moment, the entire cabin was full of incredible inquiries.

Zhuo Ying looked at the officer at the aisle without blinking, with a smile on his lips: "I wonder if this lieutenant colonel can give us an accurate answer?"

The lieutenant colonel grinned: "There is no need to make random guesses. When you arrive at the destination, you will know. OK. The journey is long. You should save some energy and don't think about it here. Let's take a break."

After saying that, he entered the aisle and never came out again.

As soon as his figure disappeared into the aisle, a huge cheer came from the cabin. He stopped, thought for a while, shook his head, and continued to move forward.

The transport plane landed at a small airport in the evening.

All the selected people were asked to get off the plane and before they could even check the surrounding environment.

The soldiers with the world logo on the group uniforms politely invited several sealed vehicles.

Colonel Zhuo Ying, Major Ke Jun, and the Air Force Colonel were all invited to a bus alone. The space researcher was also on the bus with them.

Zhuo Ying had just had time to glance at the airport, and the soldiers were polite but firmly invited the bus.

In the bus, all the floor curtains were pulled up.

"There are mountains everywhere here, and it seems to be a military airport in the southwest." The Air Force colonel said softly.

He had already admitted Zhuo Ying's analysis, but refused to admit defeat, saying that this was a military airport in the southwest, and not that it was the Ya'an Military Sub-district.

Zhuo Ying nodded slightly, followed the soldiers' arrangements and sat down in the middle seat of the vehicle.

The soldiers asked them to sit in the middle, but they themselves scattered and sat by the windows on both sides. They were all wearing digital individual equipment, and they looked new, which seemed a little different from ordinary military equipment. Another strange thing made them feel that the weapons held by these soldiers were all those they had never seen before.

The thick gun body does not look heavy, but is very clumsy.

There was a large backpack at the waist of the soldier. A wire was dragged out on the ground of the gun grip and inserted it on the backpack. It looked very strange. Could it be a gun driven by power?

The soldiers seemed to have been assigned to their positions long ago, and they soon took their place.

They pulled out a wire from under the seat, inserted it into their backpack, and then leaned the huge barrel against the seat in front. Everyone was expressionless and didn't even look at Zhuo Ying and the others.

Zhuo Ying and others looked at each other, asked nothing, and sat in the seat in the middle of the aisle.

Only the technical officer, who had a very strange expression since he saw these soldiers at the first sight. His face was bloodshot, and his eyes were staring at the huge guns in the soldiers' hands. He wanted to say something, but he bit his lower lip tightly and did not speak.

He obviously adhered to the principle of confidentiality and did not ask, so he did not speak. But looking at his flashing nose, he endured it very hard.

Zhuo Ying leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice: "Do you know these security team members of Universal Corporation?"

"Do you know too?" The technician was staring at the digital individual equipment and guns of the soldiers beside him. Suddenly, Zhuo Ying's voice came from behind him, which scared him so much that he shivered all over. Then he calmed down and slapped his forehead, "By the way, you are from the General Staff, of course you know them."

Although their voices are small, the people here have very good ears and can be heard by everyone in front and behind.

The security team members of the Universal Company next to them looked at them but did not stop them.

Seeing that the other party did not let them calm down, Ke Jun and the Air Force Colonel also came to the scene, and they came over and said, "These are the security team members of the Universal Corporation? I heard that many of them were elites in the military back then, and they arrived at Universal Corporation after they retired. Look at their digital individual equipment, they are all products that we have never seen before. Are they specially added to the Universal Corporation or test products?"

They deliberately amplified their voices, hoping that the security team members of Universal Company would correct them so that they could talk to them.

Several security team members next to them always carried their helmets, with their eyes covered in the LCD projection screen, and they listened to them without realizing it and ignored them.

They all showed indifferent expressions, like veterans who had experienced many battles, maintaining their physical strength before the battle and not being moved by the external environment. They were like falling asleep.

But Zhuo Ying and the others knew that these people seemed to be resting, but were actually staring at the screen, passing on data information, and observing the movements around them.

With the help of the full digital vision system, they can accurately aim and shoot without taking off the LCD screen.

Seeing that the security team did not interfere with their actions, the researcher approached the other party's gun and wanted to see it up close. The other party suddenly raised his head, with a black background on the LCD screen, as if he was wearing a large sunglasses, looking at him. His voice was polite but full of warning: "To avoid misunderstandings, please sit in your seat."

The researcher touched his nose awkwardly, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is the gun you are equipped with a laser gun?"

Zhuo Ying and others jumped up and exclaimed: "What? They are equipped with laser guns?"

Their voices were loud and the security team could not be inaudible.

But the others sat silently in their seats, like sculptures, and did not move. It seemed that they did not hear the voices of Zhuo Ying and others at all.

The security team member who spoke out a warning looked at them, and the technical service's shoulders clearly showed his identity. After a while, he turned his head, leaned on the back of the chair, and said: "Yes!"

Zhuo Ying and others were shocked. Huanyu Company is indeed Huanyu Company. Their technical strength is really too strong. Laser guns have been developed by various countries for so many years, and there are only some test samples. They have not been practical yet. The security team members of Huanyu Company are already in one!

The researcher's eyes became even hotter when he heard the other party's answer. He stared at the other party's laser gun tightly, and wanted to snatch it up and study it carefully.

Although he is a space researcher, he is also very enthusiastic about scientific research. The only difference is that everyone has different research directions.

He was not as surprised as Zhuo Ying and others when Universal was able to develop laser guns. With their many years of cooperation with Universal, they already knew the other party's technical strength. In China, they are unquestionable no.1,.u|Only a rare occasion.

What makes them even more terrifying is that no matter what technology is, as long as you master it, it can be practical on a large scale.

They also obtained the technical information of the space plane from Universal Corporation for research. In terms of technology, it is indeed the most advanced, but others are not unable to do it. If the Americans are willing to make one or two aircraft, the cost of each aircraft would be terrible. If the US president ordered development, they would inevitably be impeached by Congress the day after the order was signed.

Laser gun, domestic research machine

Decades of research have been conducted on this and certain results have been achieved.

Although digital individual equipment is constantly upgrading, it is not difficult for other research institutes to produce one or two sets.

The difficulty lies in the fact that whether it is high-quality mechanical instruments or components with rare raw materials, Universal can convert them into commercial large-scale production!

This is the most rare thing!

The supercomputers sold to domestic research institutions have been studied. The chips used by Universal Corporation have been so sophisticated that they are amazing. However, other domestic research units can also make dozens of pieces. However, if they want to make tens of thousands of pieces, maintain the same quality, and finally assemble them into supercomputers, everyone can only sigh and do nothing.

The outside world, including Western countries, are exploring how Universal has such strong processing capabilities, and want to find the tricks. However, Universal has kept research institutions at the highest level confidentiality. Not to mention foreign countries, even other domestic units cannot enter.

Therefore, everyone can only watch Universal Company launch one invention after another and make huge profits. Although everyone is salivating, there is never an institution that can replicate their success!

Facing the absolute technological advantages of Universal Company, no one wants to be its opposite.

They only hope that with the technical support of the world, this big tree on the list will be satisfied with the benefits. Just like the companies jointly manufactured by Europe, relying on the bondage of the world, they have become an important international group, and have a transcendent position in their country. They are simply envious!

The researchers looked at the laser gun eagerly and wanted to know how Universal Corporation used these expensive guns to make them one by one.

He asked tentatively: "Can I know the relevant data about this firearm?"

The security team member did not look at him. He just said in a voice that seemed to be talking to himself: "Trial production of a laser gun, a thermal attack weapon. The theoretical and practical distance is two kilometers, and practical depending on the atmospheric conditions, and the practical and different. In the case of good atmospheric conditions, ten millimeters of bulletproof steel plate can be penetrated within two kilometers.

Strengthening power output can attack low-altitude flight targets below three kilometers. With the assistance of individual digital equipment dynamic target capture devices, it can be used as individual prevention and control equipment, and has different degrees of threats to cruise missiles, transportation helicopters, fighters, and bombers.

It is equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell. The power output can reach 20 kilowatts and can supply laser guns to shoot normally thirty times."

The researcher's eyes were bloodshot, and he was even more excited to look at the laser gun. He looked at the wires connected to the seat and asked, "Is this a car charging device?"

"Yes. This is a high-power vehicle-mounted fuel cell." The security team member's face was expressionless and suddenly filled with smiles. "Don't be surprised, you'll be fussy now. When you go out later, you will see the wheeled laser tank outside, and you are not so excited that you fainted!"

"Wheeled laser chariot!" Zhuo Ying and others shouted again, and Major Ke Jun was even more excited.

The characteristics of laser weapons are that they are very accurate in design distances.

If their Marines were equipped with wheeled laser chariots, assisted with ordinary water and land chariots, what other fortifications could stop their Marines?

Huanyu Company is simply a treasure house of technology!

Zhuo Ying asked in a deep voice: "These equipment seems to be experimental. I wonder when it can be equipped with troops?"

"It is impossible in a short period of time." The security team members broke their fantasy and said coldly, "The efficiency of laser weapons in the atmosphere is not practical and practical after our actual use. They consume a lot of power and are greatly affected by the weather, and are not suitable for use as a single weapon. Moreover, even our Universal Company is very difficult to provide to the troops on a large scale. I heard that it will provide a small amount for some special functional departments and the capital garrison troops."

Not practical in the atmosphere...

Ke Jun immediately understood everything, why the military convened such a complex marshal, why was he a Marine Corps commander also selected?

Now, the truth is revealed!

Space Marine Corps, this must be!

He closed his eyes and was intoxicated by his imagination. In his mind, he seemed to be in a space warship for several kilometers, with the red warning light flashing sharply.

He took his Space Marines, put on space combat uniforms, held laser guns, and rushed into small assault boats.

The assault boat left the mothership and went upstream in the enemy's dense laser beam, hitting the shell of the opponent's space warship. The Marine soldiers used their guns to burn through the hull of the opponent's ship. The soldiers rushed forward and knocked the enemy soldiers who dared to resist to the ground one by one...

marvelous!

This is really awesome!

Ke Jun was so excited that his whole body was trembling and he was completely uncontrollable.

This is his dream military career. He is also a Marine Corps, how can the Marine Corps be as colorful as the Space Marine Corps!

Zhuo Ying, who had been calm before, had his eyes radiated and his face trembled slightly.

Is it possible for me to command a space warship in the future? Is this true? Zhuo Ying clenched his hands tightly into his fists, his nails pierced deeply into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

In September 2007, the Chinese government announced that it would carry out the construction of a permanent large-scale scientific research space station at the end of the year.

The current International Space Station weighs more than 2,000 tons.

The Chinese government plans to build a super-large scientific research space station weighing 10,000 tons. The space station design will include personnel living compartment, scientific research compartment, material reserve compartment and other related parts, and will use internal and external rotation to generate a little artificial gravity to help future astronauts live and work better in space.

The first batch of space station construction personnel waved to the people of the whole country in front of the TV camera.
Chapter completed!
