Chapter 848 - Flowers in Full Bloom in the Sky (Please Vote for Me)

While the latest class of astronauts were having a great time, calm had returned to the launch field of the Satellite Launch Center.

It is estimated that it will take several hours before personnel wearing protective clothing will enter the site to clean up the site.

During this period, there may still be some highly toxic rocket chemical propulsion fuel remaining at the site of the explosion.

Launch vehicles have crossed multiple latitudes and climbed to incredible heights.

In just a short time, the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center once again successfully completed the launch procedure and sent a huge interception capsule to the predetermined orbit in outer space.

Without the conduction of air, no sound can be heard in space at all. The loud thunder in the atmosphere gradually disappears with height and the thinness of the air.

Under the monitoring of ground and space satellites, a capsule-type carrier module that had just abandoned its tip deflector began to enter low-Earth orbit. The atmosphere in the sky was the dividing line between darkness and light. When the light reaches the extreme, it is boundless darkness.

The surface of the cabin split into two buds on the left and right, like peeling skin, and separated backwards. The cabin inside, which seemed to have shrunk in size, once again split into eight gaps that ran from the head to the tail, and the cracks got bigger and bigger.

As if flowers were blooming, the inner layer of the carrier cabin cover suddenly opened, revealing the aerospace port cabin accessories inside.

The blooming flowers produced abundant fruits in an instant. There was a slight flash of fire at the bottom of the receptacle, and the petals and the fruit in the middle separated lightly.

Flowers and buds slowly fall towards the earth, and will soon vaporize into a plume of smoke in the atmosphere. Completed their entire mission. And the bottom of the orbital module, which had once again lost weight and gained acceleration, suddenly lit up with a light blue aperture. The small plasma engine released a weak driving force. Although it was not powerful, it was enough to push the heavy components to a higher level. Fly high in orbit.

In the low-Earth orbit area about 800 kilometers above the ground, a half-baked skyport has gradually taken shape. It still looks like a jagged frame, but it is made up of multiple orbital module components that are gradually pieced together to form a huge set of Space.

Every corner of the unfinished skyport is constantly shining with bright lights. If you get closer, you can see many intelligent robots of various forms busy and nervous at work.

Compared with the space station, which is made up of complete cabins one by one like a train, the huge space port can only complete the unfinished assembly work in space bit by bit.

It starts with the first set of carrier capsules ascending into space. This assembly process has never stopped. Almost every group of carrier cabins will carry two to three intelligent engineering robots. They are supervised by remote control from the ground and work tirelessly like worker ants according to established procedures.

The nearby solar photovoltaic collection array spread out like a feather is providing the energy needed for intelligent engineering robots and lighting systems to the construction site.

Although low-Earth orbit still has a certain gravity that can automatically remove some dangerous space junk. However, there are more and more dangerous flying objects in the orbital circle as human beings explore space. Usually, after completing an area, it is necessary to spray foam material that can expand and harden quickly on the key parts immediately to resist the invasion of unknown space junk.

Despite this, each skyport under construction will lose at least one robot. The expanded foam hardened material sprayed in the early stage has already been scarred and even had to be sprayed a second time.

Floating objects in space, even a grain of dust, may have a velocity comparable to that of an electromagnetic rail gun. When an impact occurs, the terrifying kinetic energy will be instantly converted into heat energy. Easily vaporizes certain fragile components.

It is planned to build a large activity space internally to facilitate the creation of a self-sufficient ecological environment and reduce the pressure on the ground to send supplies.

The spacious living space can not only accommodate the lives and scientific research work of more astronauts, but can also assume the responsibility of a material supply center in the future, laying a solid starting point for future exploration of more distant space.

The aerospace port under construction also leaves open the possibility of future development. It may also be possible to expand the space smelting plant, mechanical processing plant and giant aerospace dry dock to prepare for the production of large aerospace ships.

The newly arrived air and sky port components are constantly adjusting their speed under the control of the micro-motion plasma engine, maintaining the same orbiting speed as the air and sky port under construction, gradually approaching, and beginning to be incorporated into the on-site installation system.

Several weak lights lit up inside the component at the same time, and three insect-shaped multi-legged engineering machinery crawled out from inside. The officially connected satellite, after completing contact with the main part of the aerospace port, was quickly released into the army under construction.

Every cubic meter of space in the carrier cabin was fully utilized and almost filled to the brim after being released and decomposed. Not only the cabin, but also a large number of integrated parts. There is much more to the expansion than meets the eye.

"The air ban has been lifted! Get ready to take off!"

After receiving the clearance order from the tower, the ground staff at the Chengdu Airport shouted loudly to Lin Mo and other three pilots who were hiding under the wings of the Y-8 transport plane to enjoy the cool air.

"There are still three hours until sundown."

Lin Mo looked at the watch on his left hand and saw that the release time was about ten minutes earlier than expected.

After the golden dragon was trapped in the gun of Longinus, the watch that evolved from the body could only be a watch that relied on the preset evolution structure, but the time display was still accurate.

"Let's go! Go back early! Try to reach the Quzhou base before sunset."

Cao Yueyang patted his butt and stood up from the concrete floor. The weather in Chengdu was no worse than that of the "Four Great Furnaces" that are famous across the country, especially the Chengdu Aircraft Group Airport, which was unavoidable and had no trees.

In order to wait for the air ban to be lifted at any time, the pilots refused to go to the comfortable air-conditioned rooms to enjoy air conditioning and drinks.

"Let's go, I almost fell asleep!" Lieutenant Colonel Chen Jun moved for a while and stood up.

With the assistance of the ground crew, the three of them got into the J-10B fighter jet. Almost at the same time, the al-31fn erupted from the tail of the aircraft with a roar, and a large amount of air was drawn into the engine from the DSI air intake under the cockpit, and then Rapidly converted into high temperature expansion airflow.

The domestic WS-10 engine used on the J-10 is far less mature and reliable than the WS-15x used on the J-14 and J-20, so Lin Mo and the others still use the Russian-made al-31fn engine. Version.

The four engines of the Y-8 transport aircraft then started up. After warming up for a while, they took the lead in taxiing to the runway. When they began to taxi and sprint, the three J-10B fighter jets also began to move one after another.

The pilots of the three fighter jets were all the top fighter pilots in the country. The standard pilot training model made it easy for them to find a tacit understanding. The three fighter jets just arranged a triangular attack formation and rushed onto the runway almost at the same time. The formation left the ground.

The B-type of the J-10 has slightly improved aerodynamics than the A-type. The most obvious thing is in the air inlet. After using the DSI "clam type" air inlet, the gap between the air inlet and the fuselage is removed. It can make the radar reflection area of ​​the fighter jet smaller.

"Now we start escorting! The lead aircraft is Lao Cao, with Xiao Lin on the left wing and Lao Chen on the right wing. The cruising speed is 550 kilometers and the altitude is maintained at 8,500 meters!"

At the vanguard of the triangular attack formation, Colonel Cao Yueyang's voice was transmitted into the earphones of the two fighter jets behind him.

"Xiao Lin received it!"

"I, Lao Chen, also received it!"

This is just a reminder to take care of the transport aircraft. In fact, the three-plane formation does not need to make any changes. As for flight code names, using surnames as code names is more secretive.

The J-10B fighter jets can reach a maximum speed of Mach 2, but considering the clumsy and slow Yun-8 transport aircraft, they can only maintain such a low speed and altitude, maintain a certain distance, and hang on the Yun-8 Side and rear escort.

Although there was nothing under the wings of the three fighter jets, the 23 mm caliber cannon in the belly was filled with a basic ammunition chain just in case.

The route currently being used by the standard fleet of one transport aircraft and three fighter jets is the inland waterway in the hinterland of China.

It's not like China has neither depth nor a decent strategic defense force. China's local air defense force is also second to none in the world. Even if there is an emergency, it is not that easy to stage a Chengdu hot.

It is almost impossible for any sneak attacker to escape from the three fighter jets controlled by the top pilots in the country.

Although it is a third-generation semi-fighter design, the J-10b avionics system, radar and airborne equipment are developed in accordance with fourth-generation standards, especially the architecture and performance indicators, which are required at all times. It automatically and finely adjusts the aerodynamic control surface. This complex operation is almost impossible to complete by humans alone. Therefore, to develop a statically unstable fighter, one must first develop fly-by-wire flight control technology. , leaving complex coordinated control to the onboard computer for processing, and the performance of this flight control capability on the J-10b fighter is very perfect.

Although he is now accustomed to flying the "Red Eagle" and "Monster", when Lin Mo touched the J-10 fighter again, he still didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Instead, it was filled with a sense of familiarity that fit his operating habits.

Through the subtle feedback of the joystick, you can feel that the control of type B is easier than that of type A, and you can even vaguely experience the feeling of your original J-10A.

This experience was very wonderful. Lin Mo seemed to be flying the J-10a fighter jet that he had spent a lot of effort to modify.

I took my little boy to get vaccinated in the morning and worked hard to catch up on the manuscript. The third update is coming today, please vote for me!
