Chapter 1073 Changes with Each Passing Day, Come On

Zhang Hao stood on the viewing platform, quietly watching the aerospace plane in the distance.

The overall structure of the new aerospace plane draws on the shape of a fighter jet. The shape is sharp, so that it can fly faster with lower resistance in the atmosphere.

But it's just a reference to the shape design, not a copy. It can only be said that the style is similar. In fact, the shape of the aerospace plane may be more exaggerated.

In order to make the aerospace plane reach the economic limit, its length has reached a terrifying 120 meters, the fuselage is slightly flat, with a height of 6 meters and a width of 8 meters; three pairs of front and rear wings, six wings, and a single wing length of 15 meters; The wingspan of the body is 38 meters. The height of the landing gear is 2.7 meters. The landing gear is located in the middle of the wing.

Among them, the tail rudders have one upper and lower rudders, and the length/height are both 1.8 meters.

Behind the fuselage, on the rudder, there are three plasma engines, two on each of the six wings. All engines are small, but a single thrust can reach 15 tons to 17 tons. The overall thrust is at least 220 tons.

But the space shuttle is a bit heavy. There are three small nuclear islands that only provide energy for the aircraft, distributed in front, middle, and rear of the aircraft. Moreover, the nuclear island protection devices, plasma engines, etc. are extremely heavy, and most of them are made of solid steel plates, or even heavy lead plates.

Therefore, the weight of the aircraft is as much as 140 tons. If personnel and some necessary safety protection facilities are added, the weight of the space shuttle can reach 150-170 tons. Therefore, the payload of the aircraft is only about 50 tons. For safety reasons, the design load is actually only 35 tons.

Only as the aerospace aircraft operates and the experience is accumulated enough, will the load be gradually increased.

In addition, the plasma engine of the aircraft adopts the Class C plasma engine technology, that is, the hydrogen-oxygen fuel turbo plasma engine. After all, the aircraft is too small, and the power of the nuclear island is also low. It is too technically difficult to completely rely on electric energy to generate plasma.

In contrast, if the hydrogen and oxygen are burned first, the 'steam' with a temperature of more than 2,000 degrees, or even 3,000 degrees can be directly provided, and then it is much easier to ionize. Of course, this requires higher technical requirements for the engine.

At this time, the aerospace plane is being painted for the final time. In addition to spraying the logo of Dayang Group, this kind of spraying is more importantly an electromagnetic stealth coating.

Dayang Group is already making all-round preparations for future wars.

Now it is the electromagnetic stealth coating, and the more difficult optical stealth coating will be developed next.

As for the research on formations and magic weapons, the Dayang Group basically ranked second; the most diligent research on formations and so on was the Xuanhuang Group.

As for Ximeng, they are indeed trying their best to deduce the next level of the "Nine Heavens" kung fu.

The members of the entire Tianyuanxing civilization are advancing in different fields according to their respective abilities.

Everyone has their own focus, but the rest of the research will not fall behind too much, and everyone must maintain communication and even competition. Don't talk about memorization, if you leave too much, you will have to spend an expensive price to buy it.

This competition and cooperation development method is very wise. Coupled with the adjustment of market laws, the civilization of Tianyuanxing is progressing rapidly. The progress of this civilization is all-round. It includes not only science, practice, industry and commerce, but also culture, education, morality and so on.

Zhang Hao's idea is very clear, that is to go his own way. If we continue to use spells and magic weapons as the core technology, we will not be able to catch up with the height of the Xuanhuang civilization in a short period of time; let alone surpass the Red River civilization from the magic weapon technology route.

Therefore, the vitality and hope of the Tianyuan star should be based on a new material science system.

No, there are already two technologies that have surpassed the Xuanhuang civilization in application: rail guns and aerospace planes; perhaps plasma engines and corresponding electromagnetic field technologies should also be counted.

However, the Dayang Group did not give up research on formations, magic weapons, etc., and only ranked second. Anyway, Dayang Group has a lot of talents, and some of them are people to study.

Also because of these reasons, the current aerospace plane is completely built using material science and technology.

But in the later stage, all the technologies that can be found on the Tianyuan star will be used to strengthen it. The ultimate goal is to create a top aerospace fighter, not just a transport aircraft.

After the aerospace plane completed the inspection and test run, it was at noon for five days. Zhang Hao, executives from Dayang Group, ASEAN, and even distinguished guests from all over the world officially attended the viewing platform of the brand-new airport, expecting a miraculous performance—directly from the ground. An aerospace plane flying into space, an aircraft that can escape the huge gravity of Tianyuan Star.

The significance of aerospace aircraft does not lie in the difference between the age of wooden ships and the age of steel warships. This is an era of progress.

Liu Xinyu also came in person this time, standing beside Zhang Hao. Standing beside Liu Xinyu was the grown-up prince Liu Xinhai.

In Liu Xinhai's eyebrows, he is 60% similar to Zhang Hao, and 40% similar to Liu Xinyu.

However, when Liu Xinyu came here today, there are still important things to do, which are the Continent of Formed Soil and the Continent of Hidden Soil in the north. These two places have always been a bit marginal, and there are not too many holy places and countries on them. It's just that they have been honest in the past, and there is no reason for everyone to do anything.

However, recently, Qixia Kingdom, Xuanzhen Sect, and Liang Dynasty are using troops against the two northern continents. The reason is that there are a lot of bandits here, and it has become a natural refuge for many bandits, which must be cleaned up.

The two northern continents don't have much population, and the population has also lost a lot in recent years, and many people even take the initiative to invite them to be "ruled".

But the problem still arises, not everyone agrees. There are also smaller shrines, larger families, nations, etc.

At present, the whole world is dominated by development, and wars are basically confined to small areas. Wanting to annex two continents is no small feat.

Moreover, there are still many countries in the Western Union, that is, Hetu World. Everyone is keenly aware that this matter is not easy, and they also jumped out to oppose it.

Liu Xinyu is about to come to ask Xia Dayang Group and Zhang Hao what they mean. Dayang Group has a far-reaching influence, and Dayang Group's statement is crucial.

But Zhang Hao didn't answer immediately, but pulled Liu Xinyu over to watch the test flight of the aerospace plane. Zhang Hao also needs time to think about this matter.

At this time, in terms of aerospace aircraft, the person in charge Ge Dong has already announced the start. The most important systems of a new aerospace plane are the power system and computer control. Therefore, the overall person in charge is Ge Dong.

But the person in charge is actually Ge Dong's disciple. Ge Dong is more likely to be the responsible person—once something goes wrong, Zhang Hao and the senior management of the Dayang Group will directly hold Ge Dong accountable.

The huge hangar slowly opened, and there was a faint buzzing sound, which was the unique sound of jet engines. Because it uses hydrogen-oxygen fuel turbo plasma technology, when the engine is just started, the plasma system does not work directly, but needs to use hydrogen-oxygen fuel to preheat the engine.

By the way, the power of hydrogen-oxygen fuel is enough to propel an aerospace plane to taxi or even fly in the aura layer.

The product of hydrogen-oxygen fuel is water; but the temperature is as high as two thousand or even three thousand degrees of 'water vapor'. It's actually flames. The essence of flame is not burning, but high-temperature molecules in intense motion!

A faint blue tail flame was sprayed from the rear of the engine, and the aerospace plane slowly slid onto the runway and began to accelerate.

After the plane taxied for 6 seconds, the speed of the aerospace plane has reached the take-off speed. At this moment, the light blue tail flame behind the engine spewed out more than ten meters, the plane roared and raised its head, and the 120-meter behemoth rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow.

The sky and the earth burst into bursts of roar, and the plane actually broke through the speed of sound within 2 seconds of take-off, and circles of sound barrier clouds erupted in front of the entire plane.

Then the plane climbed rapidly against the atmospheric resistance. The speed increased rapidly, and the flight altitude also increased rapidly. The flight slope actually showed an upward trend.

In the end, the plane crashed into the clouds at an elevation angle of 60 degrees.

What was left behind was a white trail like a road to the sky.

Many masters flew directly into the sky to observe. However, he saw that the tail flame behind the aerospace plane was getting longer and longer, and it had already dragged to more than 30 meters. It only took a few seconds for the aerospace plane to break through the aura layer.

At this time, a heavy gravitational force appears; however, the speed of the aerospace plane is fast enough at this time, and it is still accelerating. It's just that the acceleration is a little slow.

Then the aerospace plane tenaciously flew out of the atmosphere at an elevation angle of 60 degrees - 1800 kilometers altitude, and then began to slow down the slope, and gradually continued to climb at an elevation angle of 30 degrees.

In fact, after the aerospace plane flies to an altitude of 1,000 kilometers, the buoyancy of the air has almost disappeared, but the gravity of the earth has not decreased much. After an altitude of 1,000 kilometers, it basically relies entirely on the engine to push the aerospace plane into space.

It takes less than 2 minutes for the aerospace plane to reach the orbital altitude of 3000 kilometers!

At this time, the wake on the ground has not even completely dissipated.

This efficiency is almost double that of the previous laser launch spacecraft, and the carrying capacity has been increased several times, and the safety is much stronger than laser launch.

The most important thing is better handling - the aircraft itself can control itself; ground facilities, etc., can be simplified into a runway.

Zhang Hao looked at the wake connecting the sky and the earth, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. But Zhang Hao didn’t say anything immediately. It wasn’t until half an hour later that the technicians came to inform that the plane had safely docked with the Shuguang Space Base. Zhang Hao turned his head and said to everyone: “Thank you for coming to visit during your busy schedule. The aerospace plane test flight A complete success.

It is expected that the aerospace plane will be mass-produced by next summer at the latest, and it will be sold publicly at that time.

Even, we plan that aerospace planes will be sold to private individuals, which means allowing space commercial channels to be open to private individuals. The future space will belong to everyone!

For specific matters, please consult the Department of Commerce of Dayang Group, which used to be the Department of Diplomacy and Negotiation. "

After hearing this, some commercial representatives who stopped by to visit, their eyes lit up.

Previous spacecraft launches, even if they were open to private individuals, were not capable of operating. But aerospace planes are different. It's just an airplane, it's not like you haven't seen it before!
