Chapter 137 Space Flight Test

When the plane landed, Mu Xinghai had nothing but a little fatigue.

The plane was naturally dismantled, and the engineers trained by the expert company themselves are carefully checking every detail.

Although the speed of 12 times the speed of sound is only a few minutes of flight time, the data is extremely precious. This is the highest speed of aircraft in the atmosphere on Earth (except those crazy electromagnetic rail guns); although the expert companies have paid a high price for this, and perhaps this aircraft will be scrapped again, it provides a foundation for future development.

At the internal discussion meeting of the expert company, the future development direction of aircraft was clearly determined: the battles in the atmosphere, according to the existing data, have faced the fate of elimination, but space technology still needs to be improved, and the expensive cost has made the development of space technology extremely slow; after more than ten years, everyone will find that the crazy space competition in the past decade has actually emptied every coin in the country.

Many people believe that the development of space technology, after the initial madness and expansion, will be like the development path of aircraft. For various reasons, whether in technology or finance, there will be a stage of easing, and this stage will also be the last opportunity for developing countries to catch up.

However, this is not what the expert company believes in. As the senior management of the expert company, 16 people clearly stated that under this development model similar to cheating, the development of the expert company will be incremental, and it is not even ruled out that there will be a blowout development in the next ten years due to sufficient accumulation. Therefore, we have to consider it now.

In the future, the development of space will mainly focus on large-scale space bases and self-replicating space factories. In terms of transportation, we can learn from the three-dimensional traffic conditions of ground, sea, land and air. In the atmosphere, the development of aircraft will develop in a more flexible and faster direction.

In addition, Zhao Qingyun, who has always been committed to the safety of expert companies, proposed: Can you try to design mechas? Although many countries have their own robots, or even robots that can be driven manually, these technologies are too far away from the real mecha technology! It can even be said that they have no introduction at all.

The existing artificially driven robots are better than being a living target! They act slowly and are bulky, and their symbolic meanings far exceed their military significance.

Zhao Qingyun obviously wants to create a real mecha technology. The basic requirements of this technology are: flexible and light, at least not as bulky as a person, fast moving, powerful firepower, and thick skin. However, mecha has a key technology: driving technology, which is still helpless all over the world. No existing driving technology can meet the needs of mecha design, which is already a world-recognized problem. The first thing that transmits through hydraulic or pneumatic is: in high-speed and high-intensity movement, the reliability is poor! In order to achieve strong torque and flexible transmission, electric transmission is a bit unsatisfactory.

In the end, this project was temporarily stranded by a master company and was not considered. However, the construction of the space shuttle was an indisputable result.

In a hurry, we arrived in the winter of 2046. The new aircraft of the Master Company, Dream No. 02, was officially finalized and produced successfully. More than 200 national observation groups arrived again.

Although there were many problems in the last flight test, it only happened after exceeding 12 times the speed of sound. In fact, at 10 times the speed of sound, the aircraft is perfect. Of course, pursuing perfection may be the best quality of every astronaut.

Therefore, although the last time the country had proposed that it could provide a plane for the country, the expert company refused - we did not provide defective products! Therefore, it received unanimous praise from the country.

The problem that occurred in the last aircraft was essentially not a problem with a master company, but was caused by insufficient strength of the superconducting wire provided by the state. This time, all wires were strengthened with high-strength plastic, and some parts were filled with foam plastic. The various structures of the aircraft were also adjusted.

The new aircraft has almost no change in appearance, but its weight reaches 30 tons. All the added weights are used to reinforce the structure of the aircraft.

This time, three engines were fully turned on, and the aircraft speed was directly increased to 13 times the extreme speed of sound, and Mu Xinghai directly increased the power to the peak. In 25 minutes, flying around the world for a circle, all countries around the world were collectively silent! The missiles could not catch up with the speed of sound; although it could be illuminated with lasers, the speed of the aircraft was too fast and laser weapons were no longer available.

However, Mu Xinghai, who returned to the sky above the master's company, did not land. He accelerated again in everyone's surprise eyes. After only 3 minutes, he directly broke through the atmosphere. After another 3 minutes, he found the space station of China. However, because there was no other speed reduction mechanism and there was no air resistance in space, Mu Xinghai just had time to release a friendly greeting and hurried past.

The entire power of the aircraft was turned off, and under the acceleration of the earth's gravity, it gradually climbed to the first cosmic speed, about 280,000 kilometers per hour, almost 23 times the speed of sound.

The plane was hanging upside down, and Mu Xinghai looked at the earth through the cabin, and had a thrilling beauty. Although this was not the first time he had observed the earth like this, and he had seen it through the national spacecraft before; but he was flying the plane himself, and Zhang Jingyuan personally promised that this plane was his own car, and the satisfaction of coming to the universe was something that the country could not provide in any case.

For the first time, Mu Xinghai was so lucky to be able to enter a master company! Although the master company is not the first private company to send aircraft into space; even the top ten are not available; but the first one can take off directly from the ground with carriers like aircraft! And only China, the United States and Russia are now mastered by this technology; but the cost price is too high, the technology is not mature, and it is still under development. Perhaps, the master company is at the forefront of the world in this regard!

Turning on the camera, Mu Xinghai began to record his first commemorative short film of space flight. There are many documentaries of watching the earth from space, but shooting it yourself - this is the real enjoyment!

The distant sky is wrong, it should be space. A little sunlight penetrates the earth's atmosphere, which is so beautiful. However, because there is no corresponding protection, Mu Xinghai had to regretfully start the plane and put the plane in the shadow of the earth. Without corresponding protection, strong sunlight can burn the skin and even blind it.

It took 90 minutes to go around space before Mu Xinghai began to return.
