Chapter 1700: Future No. 1 Space Shuttle

As we all know, if a launch vehicle can have a carrying capacity of dozens of tons, it is already quite powerful.

There are two or three types of carrier rockets capable of carrying dozens of tons in the world, all of which are concentrated in China, the United States and Russia, and the technical difficulties are too great.

And this time, in the publicity of the Future Aerospace Corporation, a new type of delivery platform is responsible for the second phase of the delivery mission of the future space station. on track.

The appearance of this news really frightened many people. The assembly module of the kiloton level is nothing at all.

However, it is the first time that such a module has been transported into space, and it is like reaching the sky in one step, breaking the record for the maximum weight of a human launch vehicle.

And almost all outstanding contributors in the aerospace field in the world, as well as related personnel, have all received invitations to come to visit this great launch.

The temporary aerospace exhibition is just a small episode. In order to let the outside world know more about the strength level of the aerospace company in the future, of course, it does not rule out the use of publicity to frighten those peers.

It's just that even Cai Ruichen didn't expect that the attention this time would attract would be so huge.

During the first three days of the official launch of the launch vehicle, the exhibition attracted 500,000 visitors, including more than 150,000 foreign tourists.

And on the day when the launch vehicle was officially launched, more than 300,000 people entered the Future Aerospace Launch Center in one fell swoop.

If the venue is limited and access is restricted, the number of people may exceed half a million.

However, the restrictions did not dampen people's curiosity, and more people gathered outside the launch center, waiting for the super launch vehicle to take off.

On the day of the launch, the super launch vehicle was already standing in the launch center.

As soon as its shape was exposed, countless people felt extremely surprised at the same time, because the shape of the launch vehicle that appeared on the launch platform did not have much in common with the rocket.

It is more like an extremely large space shuttle. It has many similarities with the US space shuttle launch, but there are also many differences.

Nearly 300 meters high, like a hill,

On the four sides of this space shuttle, there are eight rocket boosters. Each of these eight rocket boosters has a length of 160 meters, and the size is larger than that of conventional launch vehicles. The size is proportionally larger.

The space shuttle surrounded by the middle cannot see the wings, but you can see the vertical tail that adjusts the direction. Under the tail, close to the artificial lake below the launch platform, are eight huge fish mouth-shaped tail nozzles.

On the exterior painting of this space shuttle, the LOGO of Future Technology Group and the name of this space shuttle are clearly painted: Space Shuttle Future No. 1.

It is not the name of the launch vehicle, but directly named after the space shuttle, which also fully explains the main purpose of this space shuttle.

It's just that this is the first time the outside world has encountered such a huge space shuttle. The length of 300 meters is equivalent to the length of the heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Middle East Federation.

It was only at this time that the whole world knew why the airport built by the Future Technology Group had a super runway, which was originally prepared for the emergency landing of this thing.

However, until now, Future Technology Group has not released relevant data about this space shuttle.

Such a huge space shuttle, once successfully launched, will completely change the pattern of human space development.

This made countless people deeply feel the contradiction in their hearts. After all, the future technology group is also a member of human beings, but things don't appear on their own bodies, so heartache and jealousy are inevitable.

But until now, many people have only understood why the launch platform of the future aerospace launch center is not a separate launch platform.

Why does the launch center have to build so many large-scale remote rails, and why the eight launch points are evenly arranged around the artificial lake in the launch center.

Now they have also realized that the eight launch platforms that they had been preconceived before are actually a complete launch platform, and the artificial lake in the middle is the real main launch platform, and the eight launch platforms on the side are just auxiliary platforms. , for additional boosters.

And the 10,000-ton lifting device under the artificial lake was also exposed to the outside world for the first time. Only a tens of thousands of tons of hydraulic lifting device could erect such a huge space shuttle.

This made everyone realize that since the Future Science and Technology Group began to explore space technology, the space shuttle has already been designed, and when the aerospace launch center was built, it was also designed and laid out in a targeted manner.

Otherwise, such a huge space shuttle cannot be used by any satellite launch center in the world.

The difficulty of operating a large launch vehicle can already be regarded as super difficult. It is conceivable that the preparation and operation of such a huge space shuttle before launch is even more difficult.

However, what everyone admires the most is not how to prepare for the launch, but that the Future Technology Group has been able to send such a huge device into space, which is the most important thing.

Reporters gathered around the world, looking for answers to countless questions, but unfortunately, the official personnel of the Future Technology Group have never shown up. Fortunately, there is absolutely no shortage of news materials in the launch center at this time.

As the planned launch time approached, distinguished guests from the field of space exploration from all over the world also arrived at the scene one by one.

The gate of the launch center and the launch viewing platform were directly blocked by the army. Rows of convoys arrived, and hundreds of reporters also gathered at the gate of the viewing platform.

This time, none of the experts in the space field who can be named from all over the world, as well as the main investors, were left behind.

Hundreds of distinguished guests, big and small, each one is a scientist who has made outstanding contributions in the field of space technology, and many venture capitalists from major space fields also came here one after another.

The arrival of Elon Musk and Hawking, the technology madmen of the American Space Technology Exploration Corporation, also made countless reporters frantically press the shutter.

Even the presidents of Microsoft and Alpha Group, which have been vigorously developing space these years, have all arrived at the scene, and the headlines of many media have even been changed to "Future Technology Group Launches Satellites, Google is Coming"

The elites in the field of human space science and technology have come to further raise the height of this satellite launch to a higher peak.

However, the play needs to be sung well, once there is an accident, it will be a big embarrassment.
